Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Qin Deyou was so angry that his face turned green. He felt that he had really underestimated Shen Shuyi.

The next moment, Shen Shuyi said, "Besides, according to the Daqian law, those who make and sell counterfeit goods should be compensated tenfold. I spent a hundred taels of silver on this gold hairpin, and Shopkeeper Qin has given me an explanation. Isn't that what I should do?"

Qin Deyou was so angry that his breathing became unstable, and his shrewd triangular eyes were full of brilliance.

But unfortunately, the current situation seemed to have put him in a dilemma.

"The Second Miss is right. You and this young lady please go upstairs. The treasures upstairs will surely catch your eyes." Qin Deyou gritted his teeth. Seeing that many people around were still waiting for the result, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Yao Huiyan. Qin Deyou immediately put on a smile and turned sideways to greet her.

Yao Huiyan didn't look at him, but walked to Shen Shuyi and said softly, "Thank you for helping me out and letting me vent my anger."

The maid followed Yao Huiyan and finally understood what was going on. She was upset for a moment because of her previous misunderstanding of Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi went upstairs with Yao Huiyan and said in a gentle voice, "It was the shopkeeper who was wrong. There is no reason for Miss to be looked down upon by him."

Yao Huiyan just felt indescribably fond of Shen Shuyi, and couldn't help but say, "My surname is Yao, my name is Huiyan, and I did come to Beijing to seek refuge with my relatives, but I thought it would be bad to go empty-handed, so I wanted to choose a gift for my aunt."

"My last name is Shen. You can call me Miss Shen or Shuyi." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

Listening to the two people chatting, Qin Deyou became even more furious.

Several officers went upstairs with a few others, already showing a bit of impatience.

Qin Deyou immediately asked the waiter to stuff some silver into their pockets, and only then did the group smile.

"Second Miss, Miss Yao, I was wrong today. Please feel free to look at it. If there is anything you like..."

Before Qin Deyou finished speaking, Shen Shuyi said, "Shopkeeper Qin gave it to us."

For a moment, Qin Deyou's face looked uglier than if he had eaten a leech, but even though there were not many guests on the third floor, he had no choice but to shut Shen Shuyi's mouth and dared not make a fuss about the matter.

"Of course, as long as it's within a hundred taels, you and Miss Yao can choose whatever you want."

Jin Zhu sneered and said crisply: "As a shopkeeper, do you know how to settle accounts? I would like to ask the official, is it the law of our Daqian Dynasty that if a fake is used, the compensation is ten times the price? The young lady spent a hundred taels of silver, why are you still calculating it according to a hundred taels?"

This time, Zhao Baokun said without waiting for Yao Huiyan to speak, "More than a decade ago, there was a case of counterfeiting official silver. Your Majesty hated counterfeit goods and ordered a strict investigation. It was found that not only official silver, but also many jewelry items supervised by the palace had been counterfeited. Therefore, a decree was issued and passed down to the people."

All items with provenance marked must be guaranteed to be genuine and reasonably priced. If anyone is found cutting corners or making counterfeits, the first offense will be punished with a fine of ten times the amount of silver. If the offense is repeated, the offender will be thrown into prison and imprisoned for 100 years to several years, and given 30 strokes of the cane, depending on the severity of the amount.

Qin Deyou's face turned pale. He was naturally familiar with the relevant laws, but he did not expect that the people in front of him would be so difficult to deal with.

But one thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for him!

but……

Facing Shen Shuyi's smiling gaze, Qin Deyou felt his scalp tingling. For the first time, he felt that the second young lady of the Shen family could kill people without a knife.

Looks harmless, but actually is a ruthless eater!

"Since... since that's the case, Miss Second and Miss Yao can choose whatever they want."

Qin Deyou's heart was bleeding. One thousand taels of silver! It was by no means a small sum. Even if he had made a lot of money in the past few years, this amount of money was enough to make him feel painful!

"Miss Yao, since Manager Qin is so kind, please give him a chance." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.

Yao Huiyan just felt that Shen Shuyi was really a wonderful person, and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Yao."

"Okay, Sister Yao."

Shen Shuyi, her and Zhao Xueqing, looked at the jewelry carefully together.

Zhao Baokun sat on a chair beside him like a big boss, fanning himself with a folding fan. He looked at Qin Deyou's face, which was as green as a melon rind, and felt unusually happy.

My cousin is really amazing. He has been really stupid for so many years!

When Zhao Baokun thought of the silver note he had obtained from Chai Bin, his eyes lit up.

My cousin was right. How could he be so stupid? I had to avoid and give in to his bullying for so many years.

Go find a few people, put a sack on Chai Bin, and beat him up first!

The jewelry on the third floor is indeed more exquisite, and almost every piece starts at one hundred taels.

Shen Shuyi picked out a jade pendant for Shen Shuhan. The jade pendant was crystal white and carved with a Kunpeng flying with its wings flapping.

Shen Shuyi held the jade pendant in her hand, hoping that her brother would cheer up one day.

Just as engraved on this jade pendant, 'One day the great roc rises with the wind, soaring straight up to ninety thousand miles'!

Zhao Xueqing was not short of jewelry usually. Although the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was in decline now, it was so destitute that it only had money left.

She didn't choose for herself, but chose a ruby ​​hairpin and two gold hairpins for Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi did not reject her kindness, and Zhao Xueqing did have a good vision.

After making her selection, Yao Huiyan also took a fancy to a gold-inlaid jade hairpin, which was more elegant than the one made of solid gold, and more gorgeous than the one made of pure jade.

The price of more than three hundred taels is not cheap, but Yao Huiyan obviously thinks it is worth it.

"Manager Qin, please take a look and see if the price is right." Shen Shuyi looked at Qin Deyou.

Qin Deyou couldn't laugh at this moment. He only regretted why he had to stop Yao Huiyan from going upstairs. He regretted even more why he didn't take Shen Shuyi seriously!

He was about to speak when Jinzhu glanced at him and said, "Miss, there's no need to calculate. The total is 820 taels, and there are still 180 taels left to choose from."

Upon hearing this, Qin Deyou’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

"Second Miss, if you take it again, I will starve to death!" Qin Deyou said quickly with a sad face.

Jinzhu sneered and said bluntly, "The shopkeeper is fatter than the pigs in the butcher shop at the corner of the street. He won't starve to death if he eats less."

The group couldn't help laughing, while Shen Shuyi frowned and advised: "Jinzhu, don't be too greedy!"

Jinzhu quickly lowered her head and said respectfully, "Miss is right."

Qin Deyou heaved a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his sigh, he heard Shen Shuyi say to Jinzhu, "Just now I saw a few nice hairpins downstairs. You four can each get one, and choose an ebony hairpin for Nanny Fang. It's exactly one thousand taels."

Jinzhu smiled instantly and said without any hesitation: "Thank you, Miss!"

Qin Deyou's eyes went dark and he almost fell down the stairs.

The official at the side supported him and reminded him in a low voice: "Think about getting rid of the fake goods later. Just treat this as spending money to avoid disaster."

Qin Deyou smiled stiffly, knowing what he meant.

After all, although a lot of money was lost this time, at least the government had no record of him committing a crime, so he wouldn't be thrown into jail if he was caught again next time.

But...that's a full one thousand taels!

One thousand taels!!!
