Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life

Seeing that she remained silent and looked serious, Liu Rulan immediately realized that something was wrong.

He stepped forward and held Jiang Mingwei's hand affectionately, and whispered, "What's wrong, Wei'er? If there is anything, just tell Aunt Lan, and Aunt Lan will help you make the decision!"

Jiang Mingwei came back to her senses. Now it was just a guess, so she didn't dare to speak rashly. She chuckled and shook her head.

"It's alright, Aunt Lan. Do you have any eloquent maids under your command that you would like to lend to me?"

Hua Cui pouted and said aggrievedly: "Miss, can't I do that?"

The pitiful stammering voice immediately made Liu Rulan burst out laughing, and the tense atmosphere was relieved a little.

Jiang Mingwei flicked her head and teased, "You start crying when someone says a few words to you, so that's not okay. I want someone who can speak well."

"That's such a coincidence. Dongyue, come here." Liu Rulan smiled and waved towards the store.

After a while, a pretty girl ran out. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very cute.

"This girl is the best talker in our store! Many shop assistants can't beat her! Even though business is so bad, she can still sell a few pieces of clothing every month. She is a smart child!"

Dongyue knew Jiang Mingwei's identity and quickly bowed with a sincere attitude.

"Dong Yue has met the young lady. She is so beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as a fairy!"

Jiang Mingwei and Liu Rulan were stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"You are a good compliment boy. Then it's you. Come with me. I have a very difficult task for you."

Jiang Mingwei took Dongyue away with her.

The three of them walked in the prosperous city of Bianjing, and from time to time they were attracted by the small gadgets sold by the surrounding vendors.

Following her memory, Jiang Mingwei arrived at a jade shop.

Hua Cui looked up and frowned in confusion: "Miss, isn't this your jade shop?"

She had not seen the account book, and Jiang Mingwei had not told Hua Cuiming, so in her eyes, this was indeed Jiang Mingwei's property.

But Jiang Mingwei smiled coldly when she heard this.

"It's hard to tell who it belongs to!"

She looked at the vendors around her, found one selling jewelry, and walked up to it.

The vendors were delighted to see that Jiang Mingwei's clothes were not ostentatious but were made of top-quality materials, and they were all dressed in plain clothes.

"What do you like, madam? Take a look around. We have all the finest jewelry here!"

Jiang Mingwei smiled, picked up a string of jade earrings, asked Hua Cui to pay for it, and then put it into Dongyue's hands.

Dongyue was stunned and thought Jiang Mingwei was going to buy a gift for her.

She was so scared that her face turned pale, and she quickly refused: "Miss... Miss, Dongyue can't accept your gift. Dongyue is here to help you!"

Jiang Mingwei couldn't help laughing, "Silly girl, this style is mature, how can you wear it? Take it first, and listen to me carefully. I will let you perform a 'bumping into porcelain' act later!"

"Touch porcelain?"

Dongyue tilted her head. Was she clinking the porcelain together?

These modern words were still too unfamiliar to the ancients, but fortunately Jiang Mingwei quickly whispered in her ear to explain.

Dong Yue's eyes suddenly lit up...

"Oh, looking for trouble, making something out of nothing, I know how to do that!"

Jiang Mingwei nodded with satisfaction and took Hua Cui into the jade shop first.

The shop owner was fiddling with an abacus behind the counter. He looked up and saw Jiang Mingwei, dressed elegantly and smiling with eyes curved into her eyebrows. He hurried out to greet her.

"Oh, this lady looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time in our shop? Is there anything you like? Do you want a finished product or a rough stone?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the jewelry on Jiang Mingwei.

Although there are not many, everything is a treasure, which makes the smile even more flattering!

"Madam, you are so elegant, how about following me to the private room on the second floor? The jade in our shop is one of the best in Bianjing. I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile!"

"Wait a moment. I'll just take a look around this floor now." Jiang Mingwei responded with a smile, suppressing her anger.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, the shopkeeper could only smile and nod.

Hua Cui was very angry, with her cheeks puffed up.

This was originally the dowry of her young lady, so why did the young lady seem like an outsider?

And this shopkeeper, why is he not the previous shopkeeper Xu?

She was full of doubts when she suddenly heard a loud scolding.

"Where's the shopkeeper? Where is he? Come out!"

Hua Cui turned around and found that it was Dong Yue who came in after them.

Jiang Mingwei held a jade hairpin in her hand, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with depression, and she also looked up towards the door.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that someone was here to cause trouble. The shopkeeper put away his smile, turned around and found that it was a little girl, and immediately became arrogant.

"What are you yelling for! What are you yelling for! Do you really think this is a street? Where did you come from, you wild girl? Get out of here!"

Having said that, he ordered the shop assistant to drive her away.

Dong Yue was not afraid at all: "Who dares? Look everyone, this store is forcing me to buy and sell, and they even sold inferior goods to my wife!"

As a businessman, who doesn’t care about reputation?

Seeing that a crowd was about to gather, everyone was stretching their heads to look into the store. If Dongyue was kicked out at this time without giving her a chance to explain, wouldn't that be proving that the store was bullying its customers?

The shopkeeper no longer dared to act arrogantly and immediately lowered his tone.

"I'm telling you, little girl, don't spit blood at me. Our store has always only sold top-quality jadeite. How could there be any inferior products?"

"Really? Then what about this pair of earrings!" Dongyue slapped the earrings hard again.

Coincidentally, one of the earrings suddenly broke with a snap!

Dongyue widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Mingwei subconsciously.

The moment Jiang Mingwei nodded to her, she regained her composure and continued yelling.

"Take a good look at this. Isn't this a defective product? My wife bought it with great joy, but she discovered that there was a crack inside. I didn't expect it to break just by tapping it."

"If this isn't a defective product, then what is it? It's trash!"

"This... this is impossible."

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and quickly picked up the other earring to check.

After looking at it over and over again, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and became aggressive again.

"You little bitch, you actually stole the show! This is clearly not the jade from our store. The ones in our store are all engraved, but yours is completely empty and has very little water content. To put it bluntly, it's just stone. How dare you lie to me?"

The shopkeeper gnashed his teeth, he didn't expect to be intimidated by a yellow-haired girl.

Dong Yue was not afraid of being exposed and continued to confront him, "Bah, you black-hearted businessman, stop crying thief!"

"My master is a judge. If you don't give an explanation today, he will not let you go!"

When the shopkeeper heard that it was the magistrate, he burst into laughter.

"What kind of high-ranking official was I? Turns out I'm just a small magistrate. In this city of Bianjing where so many officials gather, I'm nothing!"

"you!"

Dong Yue was so angry that her face turned red. "How dare you insult an official of the imperial court? Do you want to die?"

"Life?"

The shopkeeper sneered and raised his hand to bow from a distance.

"That depends on you, little judge, whether you want to take my life or not. Do you know who is behind me?"
