Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

"Which restaurant owner?" Xue Wu was quite concerned about this restaurant owner. If...

"It's the boss of Miweixuan! Boss Fan!" As soon as Mr. Zhu opened his mouth, Xue Wu's face changed.

It seems that Fan Zhixing from Miweixuan is here to cause trouble for Xiao Lan.

"I heard that the clothes in the North City Cloth Shop are marked, but?" Xue Wu glanced at Mr. Zhu's housekeeper while speaking. The housekeeper had seen Xue Wu in the shop before.

Xiao Lan stepped forward and handed over the silver badge he had just torn off. "Captain Xue, this is the badge. The restaurant owner he mentioned is probably wearing a replica."

Xue Wu turned the silver piece over and over in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it had to do with "dog".

"Mr. Zhu, do we need to call Boss Fan over for a confrontation? See if there is any logo on his clothes?" Xue Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Zhu, his eyes full of impatience.

This time, Master Zhu finally thought about it seriously, "Yes, there is a silver plate logo, right on the belt!"

"Then it looks like I'll have to trouble Boss Fan to come over!"

"Then please come into the store and have a cup of tea. Wait a moment. It's still some distance from here!" Xiao Lan stepped aside to invite Xue Wu into the store. Mr. Zhu was afraid that Xiao Lan would give Xue Wu some bribes, so he quickly asked the servants to drive the carriage and he wanted to follow him into the store.

Xue Wuduo was cautious and asked Constable Zhao to follow him. Several people sat in front of the shop hall, set up a tea table and waited for the person to return.

It would be faster if there was a carriage, but Boss Fan didn't come, so the servants and the constable came back on their own.

"Captain, Boss Fan said he was busy in his shop and couldn't leave, so he took down the sign." Constable Zhao handed over the silver piece.

Xue Wu took it in his hand and compared it, and found no difference. Xiao Lan took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then moved closer to Xue Wu.

"Captain Xue, please look, although there are traces of groove carving on this silver piece, please compare it at this position." Xiao Lan pointed out the mystery, and Xue Wu saw it at a glance.

On the mountain pattern carved from silver sheets, there is a small waterfall and a seal-script character "肖" is hidden.

"I asked a master craftsman to make this specially because I was worried about these problems. There is also the Xiao family's mark on the back of the logo." Xiao Lan turned the silver piece over, and sure enough, there was a mark on every hollow place.

"This thing is very time-consuming to make. There's no need to go to all this trouble to make clothes that only sell for a few dozen taels. If the counterfeit is exactly the same, it would be better to make your own brand instead of wasting time and effort."

After Xue Wu heard what Xiao Lan said, he looked at Mr. Zhu with even more anger.

"Master Zhu, it's inappropriate for you to cause trouble without even understanding the situation yourself!"

Although the captain of the police is not a formal official, his words still carry weight in front of these ordinary people.

"But the material is exactly the same!" Boss Zhu wanted to say something.

"I see that the wine from Yaoji Winery is the same as the wine sold at the stalls, so why do you always drink Yaoji at your banquets? The materials and workmanship are different! I didn't embroider this gold and silver thread on the same material!" When Xue Wu came over, he happened to hear Xiao Lan talking about the material. He just thought that this rich person really knows how to spend money.

Before Master Zhu could say anything else, Xue Wu waved his hand and said, "Master Zhu, you are being unreasonable. Even if you report this to the county magistrate, your argument won't make any sense!"

"Then...then this woman sent a wild man to break my hand! Do you care about this?" Master Zhu knew he was in the wrong and quickly stretched out his wrist wrapped in cloth. He had to catch someone anyway, because it was obvious that the man knew the owner of this shop!

"Broken?" Xue Wu turned to look at Xiao Lan. He didn't remember ever pinching Mr. Zhu himself, and he hadn't heard of many martial artists in this city who could break someone's hand.

"He was a knight. He said that he couldn't stand Mr. Zhu's breaking the rules and forcing the material that was only sold to his wife to be given to me, so he pinched him!" Xiao Lan said, trying her best to suppress the curl of her lips.

"Don't you recognize him?" Xue Wu asked.

“She recognizes it!”

Master Zhu pointed at Xiao Lan, and Xue Wu reached out and pinched his hand. Boss Zhu was startled. This strength was too familiar. If he hadn't seen the man's face that morning, he would have doubted whether his hand was pinched by Xue Wu.

"I won't point anymore... I won't point anymore..." Mr. Zhu begged for mercy again and again, not daring to say anything more.

Mr. Zhu used the saying "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him" twice today. After he got on the carriage and left, the shop door was finally quiet.

After this commotion, the scholars who had been watching the excitement at the door also hurried into the store to select the fabrics they wanted. Although they couldn't buy the limited edition, the regular ones also had the logo embroidered in silver thread, which was definitely more stylish than ordinary clothes. Besides, being able to wear clothes from the same shop as the literati and scholars also gave them a sense of inexplicable pride.

This incident wasn't a major event, but word spread quickly in the small South City. It was only at night, and anyone wearing clothes from the North City shops was mindful of their behavior, fearing they would be labeled nouveau riche, unworthy of the material.

At night, the maids in the shop were all packing up, waiting to go back together later, while Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing sat together looking at the account book and doing the math.

"It would be nice to have a calculator here."

To avoid being discovered, their account books were recorded using ancient writing methods. What they were looking at now was their own draft book, recorded in Arabic numerals. Whenever it came time to settle the accounts, Fang Qingqing would do the numbers while Xiao Lan would record the words, which was very troublesome.

"There's nothing I can do. I don't understand how to use the abacus anyway, so it's clearer to just write this vertical formula." Xiao Lan was also overwhelmed looking at the string of numbers.

"I even learned abacus in elementary school!"

"now what?"

"I forgot!" Fang Qingqing smiled embarrassedly, crossed out the wrong vertical equation and wrote a new one.

"How about hiring an accountant?" Fang Qingqing suggested.

"Not for now, reduce expenses!"

"Don't you think that every time something happens, there is always a hero who comes forward? I don't recognize the one in the morning, the one in the afternoon is Xue Wu, and Su Ze can't help." Fang Qingqing was tired, and using this oil lamp was also hurting her eyes.

"Su Ze is not a bad guy here. If we can use him, that would be the best. If we can't use him, we shouldn't offend him. After all, he is a county magistrate!" Xiao Lan said this and told Fang Qingqing all about her previous rude behavior towards Su Ze. Fang Qingqing laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Haha... Have you ever thought about what if Su Ze was lying to you? What if Su Ze was a time traveler? He deliberately gave you a dowry as if he was not a time traveler! It's because he is attracted by your current status as the only daughter of the Xiao family, and he wants to be a son-in-law and ask for your money!" Fang Qingqing's imagination was full of ideas, but after she said this, Xiao Lan fell into deep thought.

"Will it?" Xiao Lan didn't know whether she was asking Fang Qingqing or herself.

"When he lied to me that we weren't married, I believed it all. He's really good at acting!" Fang Qingqing was at a loss when asked by Xiao Lan.

"Yeah... When I was pursuing him, he was also very good at acting..."
