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

Shen Shuyi and his group left under Qin Deyou's grief-stricken gaze.

Yao Huiyan stopped in front of the door and asked the maid to hand three hundred and twenty taels of silver to Shen Shuyi.

"Sister Shuyi, thank you so much for your help today. I should have paid for this hairpin myself, but I really don't want the shopkeeper to make a penny more, so I can only transfer the money to you after leaving Linlang Pavilion." Yao Huiyan explained in a gentle voice.

"In that case, I'll accept it." Shen Shuyi said with a smile and did not refuse.

After all, she was really short of money, and it was not easy to get a stingy man like Qin Deyou to pay one thousand taels of silver. But Linlang Pavilion had a complete range of goods, and if she took them openly, he could not find a reason to refuse.

Looking at Yao Huiyan in front of him, Shen Shuyi spoke again: "My family is in the Shen Mansion in the south of the city. I am the second child in the mansion. If Sister Yao stays in Beijing for a long time in the future, you can come to play with me when you are free."

To be honest, Yao Huiyan is not beautiful, and can even be described as average. But what is rare is that she has an intellectual and bookish air, which makes Shen Shuyi very fond of her.

Hearing this, Yao Huiyan was very happy and agreed immediately: "Then it's settled."

Zhao Xueqing also smiled and said, "My home is in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion in the east of the city. If Sister Yao doesn't mind, you can come over to my place and sit for a while."

"Okay, when I settle down in the capital, I will definitely come to visit you."

The group said goodbye and walked away.

Yao Huiyan's maid couldn't help but say, "Miss, this Miss Shen is really amazing. She is different from other young ladies I have met."

Yao Huiyan thought of how Shen Shuyi had easily changed Qin Deyou's attitude with a little effort, and couldn't help but chuckled and said, "It's indeed different."

"Miss, do you like her very much?" the maid couldn't help asking.

Yao Huiyan said gently: "Who doesn't like someone who is smart and kind?"

"Miss, are we going to Wang Taifu's residence now?"

Yao Huiyan nodded: "We have been delayed for so long, my aunt must be worried, let's go there earlier."

On the other side, Zhao Baokun couldn't help but nagging since he left Linlang Pavilion: "Cousin, is that hairpin really fake?"

Shen Shuyi looked at him and smiled: "What do you think, cousin?"

Zhao Baokun had a bruised face and didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

He scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure either. Sometimes I think my cousin is lying to him, but sometimes I think it's true."

The main reason was Shen Shuyi's attitude, which was too calm and confident, so he couldn't make up his mind!

Shen Shuyi curled his lips and said calmly: "It is true that there are two masters in Ruyifang. Although they learned from the same master, I am not sure whether their handwriting is the same."

"But Qin Deyou put the things of 'Ruyifang' on the second floor to attract customers, which is problematic in itself."

Qin Deyou is an extremely snobbish person. Since he divided Linlang Pavilion into three floors to distinguish the guests, there is no need to put things that should not be on the second floor on the second floor.

The real dignitaries would be welcomed directly to the third floor by him, so placing the treasures of "Ruyifang" on the second floor only proves that this "treasure" is not that "precious".

But things from Ruyifang are always expensive, so why are these two items the only ones different?

This only proves that there is something wrong with these two things.

Linlang Pavilion has been in business for many years, and although Qin Deyou has made a lot of money, he does not have the courage to pass off inferior goods as good ones, so the quality of the two pieces of jewelry is not a problem, the only problem is their origin.

Listening to Shen Shuyi's analysis, Zhao Xueqing and Zhao Baokun were stunned for a moment.

Obviously, no one expected that so many things could be analyzed out of the fact that an object from Ruyifang appeared on the second floor where it shouldn't have appeared.

Shen Shuyi looked at the two and smiled, "Besides, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. There are many guests on the second floor. Qin Deyou saw that I was sure, so he naturally didn't dare to send people to Ruyifang to verify it. After all, there is a possibility of being denied if he verifies it."

Therefore, even if he was 70% sure, he didn't dare to gamble.

Taking a step back, even if he was sure that the hairpin was real, it would take nearly an hour to go to Ruyifang to verify it. How many of the guests and common people upstairs and downstairs would be willing to spend so much time waiting for the so-called result?

Once the news gets out, people won't care about the truth. They will only talk about the officials coming to the door and the fact that Linlang Pavilion seems to have sold fake goods.

Therefore, the best solution is to reduce the impact of this incident from the beginning.

In other words, shut her up as quickly as possible.

In fact, Qin Deyou was indeed smart. He immediately invited her and Yao Huiyan to the third floor to prevent the matter from spreading further.

In this way, many subsequent troubles can be avoided, otherwise someone would hear the news and come to cause trouble.

Zhao Xueqing couldn't help but ask, "But my cousin clearly took my jade hairpin as a comparison. If you can't be sure whether the hairpin is real or fake, what if the imprint is fine after comparison?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Cousin, can you guarantee that the words you write will be exactly the same every time?"

Zhao Xueqing paused: "This..."

Everyone has different handwriting habits, but even if you practice hard for ten years, you can only maintain your own style. However, if you examine it with the most stringent standards, it is indeed difficult to be exactly the same.

Shen Shuyi said again: "The handwriting may be okay, but this is not writing. The materials of gold, silver, pearls and jade are different. It is not easy to engrave on them. How can we guarantee that the effect achieved on each material is exactly the same?"

"Besides, Ruyifang has always pursued pure hand-carving, but cousin, you should know that hairpins are delicate, bracelets are rings, and earrings are small. It is almost impossible to leave a less eye-catching mark on these extremely delicate objects."

"So even if the officials compare them personally, they will only feel different." Zhao Xueqing suddenly realized, her pair of eyes as clear as snow, sparkling with a bright light.

"That's right." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

"Cousin, aren't you afraid that Manager Qin will come back to trouble you?" Zhao Baokun's eyes lit up, and at this moment he was full of admiration for Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Looking for trouble with me? I asked him to go to Ruyifang to verify it. He is guilty of a crime, what does it have to do with me? Besides, it was the official who made the conclusion, I just raised reasonable doubts."

In this kind of situation, whoever questions should provide evidence. After she provided evidence, Qin Deyou gave up proving himself. How could she be blamed?

What's more, with such a big thing happening and a loss of one thousand taels, does he have the courage to tell anyone?

If he really had the guts to do that, others would only think that he was unworthy of being the shopkeeper. Not only did his stuff come from illegal sources, but he also lacked basic eyesight, which allowed him to be fooled by an unmarried lady like her.

Therefore, Qin Deyou was destined to swallow this pain alone.

Zhao Baokun had never thought that it could be like this. Without sacrificing a single soldier, he killed the lackey's arrogance and got jewelry worth 1,000 taels of silver for free.

"If you need me to do anything in the future, just let me know. I promise to do it for you!"
