Lin Zhaozhao was confident and righteous.

"What do you mean by her shop? Since I bought it, it's mine! Is it wrong for me to destroy my own shop and rebuild it?"

She bought scar-relief cream at Yujun Pavilion after she hit her forehead.

At that time, I was curious about who was the boss behind them. Such a small box of scar cream was sold for thirty taels of silver.

Later I found out that it actually belonged to Song Yuntang.

No need to think about it.

She must have done it on purpose by selling the scar cream at such a high price.

Song Yuntang held the contract in his hand and said, "It's true that you smashed your own shop, but Manager Yuan and I signed a contract before. If you don't want to rent it, you can cancel the lease and let us move out instead of smashing things directly."

"You've damaged my interests. Before you came here, I reported this to Lord Zhu of Anyang County. Today, you must either pay compensation according to the price, or come with me to the county government office. We'll go to court and see how long you have to stay in the county jail this time."

When Lin Zhaozhao heard that she was going to be taken to the county government office, she was scared.

"How much silver? I'll compensate you!" she said reluctantly.

When we smashed the shop, we didn't see anything valuable.

Just pay a few taels of silver as compensation.

"Mudong!"

Hearing Song Yuntang calling him, Mu Dong came forward, opened the account book in his hand, and suppressed his nervousness.

"Before coming here, I made a special trip to Yujun Pavilion. Miss Lin had already destroyed everything in the shop. We had a thousand bottles of shampoo, and we were selling them for forty-five coins each, for a total of four taels and five qian of silver. We also had two hundred pills, for a total of sixty taels, and ten taels of shelf space. All together, these things were worth seventy-four taels and five qian of silver."

"Our boss said that Miss Lin still has to compensate for her mental damages. Considering that you have some connection with her, give her a hundred taels and this matter will be over."

There weren't so many things in the shop originally.

But before coming, Song Yuntang told him on the mule cart that he had to make Lin Zhaozhao pay more compensation so that she would remember it in the future.

Lin Zhaozhao curled the corners of her mouth.

"Ten taels for a few wooden shelves? And there are pills, I didn't see a single one. Why are you asking me to pay sixty taels? Don't try to blackmail me!"

"You're the one who smashed my shop. My belongings were there at the time, but now they're gone. Just because you didn't see them doesn't mean they don't exist." Song Yuntang looked at the yamen runners standing by and said, "Sir, since Lin Zhaozhao won't compensate, let's go to the county yamen and ask Lord Zhu to make the decision."

"Row."

The bailiffs were very cooperative and were about to go forward to arrest Lin Zhaozhao.

Seeing this, Zhuang Wenyin quickly protected Lin Zhaozhao and said with an apologetic smile, "Sir, we will compensate you. We are willing to compensate you."

Then he told Zhao Ma who was standing beside him, "Go get a hundred taels of silver."

Nanny Zhao nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Lin Zhaozhao hurried forward and grabbed her arm.

"Mom, those things in Song Yuntang's shop are not worth a hundred taels! Not even ten taels. Don't be fooled by her."

Zhuang Wenyin turned around and slapped her in the face.

"You're more of a troublemaker than a helper! I thought you were young and had suffered some injustice, so I took you home and spoiled you. I never imagined I'd spoil you to such an extent that you became lawless. Look at how much trouble you've caused recently. What else can you do besides causing trouble for me?"

madness!

They smashed up someone else's shop for no reason and they had all the evidence in their hands.

Not to mention one hundred taels, even if Song Yuntang asked for two hundred taels today, they would have to compensate them no matter how unwilling they were. Otherwise, they would be facing jail time for maliciously damaging other people's property if they didn't pay.

Lin Zhaozhao covered her face and looked at her in disbelief.

"Mom, you hit me again?"

Zhuang Wenyin was heartbroken.

"If I don't discipline you, your life will be ruined and you won't be able to get married!"

Lin Zhaozhao sniffed and said unhappily, "Mom, don't worry about whether I get married or not. Dad will make the decision for me."

Zhuang Wenyin had a bad feeling.

"What do you mean?"

There was a hint of anger in Lin Zhaozhao's tone.

"Mother, you don't know yet, right? Before Dad went to the county town, he promised me that he would go to Song Yuntang and ask him to let Xu Qingye marry a concubine." He turned and glanced at Song Yuntang, "You should have met my father, right? When do you plan to let Mr. Xu marry me?"

Song Yuntang's lips curled up in sarcasm.

"I have met your father, but I have no intention of letting you in."

Lin Zhaozhao sneered, "Song Yuntang, you've violated the seven grounds for divorce, so you must be divorced."

"Do you think I'm afraid of being divorced?" Song Yuntang looked at Lin Zhaozhao and said, "As I told Master Lin, I'm not someone who can't live without a man. As long as I'm Xu Qingye's wife, there's no way I'll let you into the Xu family. Unless he wants to take a concubine, then he only needs to give me a letter of divorce. Whether he marries you or not is none of my business."

Lin Zhaozhao clenched her fists.

"You're so jealous! If I were you, I would have asked to leave long ago!"

Song Yuntang was not to be outdone. "A rich lady, always thinking about other people's husbands and wanting to be someone's concubine, if I were you, I would have hit my head against the wall and died!"

Lin Zhaozhao was extremely angry.

"you……"

"What do you mean?" She pointed to her head. "Brains are a good thing. If you don't have them, don't show off your skin and embarrass yourself, so as not to hurt others and yourself."

Lin Zhaozhao pointed at her with trembling hands, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute. She couldn't vent the anger in her heart, and could only breathe heavily.

The yamen runners led by Luo Gang even gave Song Yuntang a thumbs up.

I didn't expect Miss Song to be not only smart, but also so good at speaking.

Just then, Madam Zhao brought the banknotes.

Zhuang Wenyin winked at her, and Nanny Zhao nodded and handed the banknote directly to Song Yuntang.

"Miss Song, please keep this hundred taels of silver carefully."

"Thank you." Song Yuntang took it and looked at Zhuang Wenyin. "Mrs. Lin, I still say the same thing. I hope you can discipline your daughter well and don't give me the opportunity to catch her again. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Lin Mansion without looking back.

Seeing this, the yamen runners clasped their fists towards Zhuang Wenyin and hurriedly left with her.

When they arrived outside the mansion, Song Yuntang took out ten taels of silver from his purse and gave it to Luo Gang.

In fact, the total weight of the goods and shelves in the shop would not exceed eight taels.

The fact that we were able to receive the one hundred taels of compensation today was thanks to Luo Gang and his companions who were willing to step forward.

"Brother Luo, thank you for taking this trip today. This is for tea for the brothers."

"Miss Song, aren't you going back with us?" someone asked.

Song Yuntang was a generous person, and the yamen runners had received a lot of benefits from her before, including food, drinks and gifts, so they were naturally willing to help her.

Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head.

"Now that I'm back, there are some things I want to deal with before going back."

The end of the month is the day to settle wages, and I am already 28 years old.

Instead of making another trip in two days, it would be better to settle everyone’s wages tomorrow and then return to the county town.

When the yamen runners heard this, they all nodded.

"Okay, we'll be leaving first. If you have anything else, Miss Song, remember to come find us at the government office."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Oh, definitely."
