The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

As soon as Yun Yuke and Yun Qingjin stepped into the main hall of Yanchun Pavilion, they saw a man dragging Aunt Hua away. Aunt Hua's basket had been thrown over, and the vegetables inside were scattered all over the floor.

"Who are you! How dare you cause trouble here?" Yun Yuke shouted, interrupting the man's pulling motion.

The Yun mother and daughter may have imagined what the husband of this old lady Hua, who had come back from the dead, would be like, but they never expected to witness the scene of domestic violence.

“We are all guests. What problem can’t be resolved peacefully? Why make things so awkward for everyone?” Yun Yuke stepped forward, and Yun Qingjin rushed over as well.

Yun Qingjin stood directly between Aunt Hua and Liu Jie, using her body to separate the two and prevent the man from committing further violence.

"Auntie, are you alright? Come with me to the back and rest for a bit."

The mother and daughter remained calm and pulled Aunt Hua to their side.

"Who are you to this shop?" Liu Jie asked indignantly, reaching out to grab someone, but Yun Yuke blocked his way. In front of outsiders, Liu Jie felt embarrassed to make another move, but his angry expression didn't lessen much.

“I am the owner of this shop. My surname is Yun. Regardless of your situation, it is a bit against the rules for you to resort to violence in my shop.”

"You're just a shopkeeper, why are you meddling in other people's business? This is my wife, I can do whatever I want with her." Liu Jie tried to grab her again, but Yun Yuke opened her arms wide, completely blocking him from moving forward.

Yun Qingjin had already helped Aunt Hua up and was escorting her to the side of the hall.

“I have nothing to do with you anymore! You’ve been out of contact for almost twenty years. Back in your hometown, your household registration is no longer valid! We haven’t been in touch for over a decade, and the moment you show up, it’s back to be physical violence.”

Looking at the mess in the room, Yun Yuke felt that it might not be possible to resolve the situation immediately; she needed to get the other party to leave first.

"Sir, don't rush to curse and hit me. After you've caused such a ruckus in my shop, how are you going to compensate me for the jewelry that has been lost?"

When Liu Jie was pulling people away, the two argued and knocked a large pile of jewelry off the floor. Moreover, the person's disruption affected several business deals.

When Xu Huibing introduced the situation, she mentioned that in order to avoid embarrassing Aunt Hua, she directly asked the customer who was still picking out jewelry to leave.

"Also, because of your situation, my shop can't stay open today. What do you suggest we do?"

Yun Yuke picked up an abacus from the side, held it across her chest, and used it both to calculate the family's lost income and as a weapon.

His fingers flew up and down, making a clattering sound. When he was using the abacus, he deliberately blocked people's way so they wouldn't chase after Aunt Hua.

“Hey, I’ve got it. The items in this shop are our new seasonal products, and some of them were specially ordered by customers. All things considered, I’ll give you 108 taels. I just heard from my manager that you caused trouble in the shop, which cost me future orders. According to our shop’s usual practice, each piece of jewelry costs an average of 38 taels. Since three customers left, that’s 114 taels. Putting it all together, the total is 222 taels of silver.”

After calculating the amount, Yun Yuke smiled and said, "Guest, since you've caused trouble here and affected our business, you still have to pay me this money."

Liu Jie had been incredulous ever since Yun Yuke started using the abacus. He wanted to stop her, but Yun Yuke was incredibly skilled, maneuvering left and right without gaining any advantage. Not to mention, when she uttered that number, he looked utterly incredulous.

"Are you robbing me? This pile of junk isn't worth that much money!"

Liu Jie naturally didn't want to pay, displaying a shameless expression. "In the capital, two hundred taels can buy a complete set of gemstone jewelry. How much are your things worth? And don't think you can fool me. Jewelry can be repaired. I'll only compensate you for the repair costs..."

"Sir, I don't care what you say, but if you say my products are bad, then you're spreading rumors, which will damage my shop's reputation. No way, you have to pay this money!"

From the moment the disturbance began, a group of neighbors gathered in front of Yanchun Pavilion. This is a tradition in this neighborhood; if one family is harassed, people from the other families will come to help.

"Fellow villagers, look at these two guests from who-knows-where! They immediately started saying that the quality of my jewelry is no good. Who can I reason with? Please, fellow villagers, be the judge! We've worked so hard to build this business, and these people's words have ruined everything!"

"Isn't this nonsense? Everyone knows that Yanchun Pavilion has always produced exquisite jewelry! Spreading rumors isn't something you do blindly!"

"Who is this person? Is he from out of town?"

"It's obvious!"

"They were causing a ruckus in someone's shop. Not only did they kidnap someone in the street, but they also vandalized the shop!"

"Someone should go and tell the village head that we might as well report this to the authorities."

The villagers watching outside had overheard the commotion in the shop and, through word of mouth, had roughly learned that the man who had suddenly appeared was trying to take a woman away.

Since such a thing has happened—a kidnapping incident in the street—naturally, many people are unhappy to see this situation.

"What are you saying, you stinking woman!" Liu Jie was even more furious upon hearing the other person's words, coupled with the villagers' desire to report the matter to the authorities.

"Guests would better keep their mouths clean." Yun Yuke's professional smile remained unchanged, but her tone had turned much colder.

Liu Jie seemed to want to say a few more curses, but he seemed to have something on his mind. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Fine! It's my fault! Boss, it's my fault! Is that enough?"

"What kind of apology is this?!"

Yun Yuke stretched out her hand, "I don't care whether the guest's apology is sincere or not, I only care about the money. It's two hundred and twenty-two taels in total. Will you give me a silver note or cash?"

"Hey? You stinky..." Liu Jie seemed to still want to curse, but in the end he stopped himself, and the swear words did not come out.

"Fine, consider it a loss to avoid further trouble!" The man took out a money bag from his pocket, looked inside, and then threw it at Yun Yuke's feet without looking at it any further.

"There are over two hundred taels of silver here. Consider it a small token of my generosity to this beggar..."

"Hey? Who came from here with such a rude attitude?"

Yun Yuke was not offended, but carefully examined the person in front of her.

Yun Qingjin had already arranged for Aunt Hua to rest on the side. Seeing that person insult her like that, she was also angry, but she didn't know how to help her mother get revenge.

“Qingqing, since the customer has already paid, we’ll only take our share and settle the bill with the customer, giving them change as owed.”

Yun Qingjin responded loudly and picked up the money pouch from the ground. The moment she touched it, she could tell it was unusual, made of high-quality materials; the fabric felt quite special… the texture…

I feel like I've seen this before... Where did I see it?

Without time to think it through, Yun Yuke quickly checked the silver notes and ingots in the bag. It turned out that the bag was full of standard silver ingots, with no broken silver or copper coins.

“Master Yun, we received a total of 260 taels of silver from this guest. You just calculated it to be 222 taels, so we need to give the guest 38 taels in change…”

Yun Qingjin and Yun Yuke basically ignored what the other was saying and just did what they were supposed to do. Yun Qingjin quickly counted out thirty-eight taels of silver from the counter, put it in the man's bag, and handed it to Liu Jie with both hands.

Liu Jie waved his hand, knocking the bag out of Yun Qingjin's hand. "I already told you! I've tipped the beggars, keep the change. You country bumpkins have never seen much money before. I already said I've tipped you, so get lost."

"Yu Niang, haven't you embarrassed yourself enough outside? Come with me now!"

"That won't do. My family runs a jewelry store, not a brokerage firm. If you were to take a living person away from my store, you would be forcing me to change careers."
