Transmigrating into a book to save her best friend, her sickly husband vies for her affections every

Tingyao looked at Xu Tutu and could already detect a hint of guilt on her face.

"Is Miss Xu saying that she trusts my employer, since we've cooperated on quite a few clothes, so she didn't check them carefully when they were sent to the Duke's mansion?"

"Or are you saying you're rich enough to slander my employer? Of course, you can just tell me what kind of compensation you want."

She emphasized the word "compensation".

Xu Tutu and her maid Menglong are best at playing the good cop and the bad cop.

This sweet girl has everything; she could sit still and receive a huge wave of praise from fans. But she's so oblivious to her own fate, insisting on belittling herself and playing pranks on others.

The Ji family probably couldn't afford to pay for this box of Dongzhu pearls, so it can be inferred that Xu Tutu had ulterior motives.

Xu Tutu was silenced by Tingyao's words.

She thought the girl in front of her was fierce...

Tingyao raised her voice a bit, "These are all my boss's old and new customers. We can stop doing business with your Xu family in the future, but we can't ruin our reputation. This box of beads is not cheap. I think we should go directly to the yamen and leave professional matters to the professionals."

Call 110 directly. Ji Anzhi is upright and has nothing to fear. Xu Tutu's parents definitely don't know about this. If this gets out, she'll definitely get a big scolding when she gets home.

In short, Xu Tutu was spoiled and therefore lawless.

Ji Anzhi had concerns, and Tingyao's next sentence addressed those concerns.

“Master, this is a serious crime of theft, involving a considerable sum of money. My master knows the people in the shop very well, so he is naturally not afraid.”

As long as you're not afraid of losing face at the Duke of Xu's mansion.

Tingyao walked up to Ji Anzhi, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Madam, if Father doesn't help, the uncles and aunts of the second and third branches won't let you bully them."

What's there to be afraid of?

Ji Anzhi blinked. Yes, she could guarantee that there would be no problem when it was delivered to Xu Tutu. Moreover, the second and third branch uncles and aunts were indeed saying that they would be family from now on, so they could just say whatever they wanted. This was a good opportunity to give it a try.

At worst, she can just give up the shop. Anyway, she's already made a lot of money, and she can find other ways to make money in the future.

“That’s right. Someone, go and fetch the officials from the yamen.” Ji Anzhi instructed Chunqin, “Go to the Dali Temple and invite them.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Tutu panicked a little and her voice became much less confident.

“Second Miss Ji, don’t be afraid. I still have a reputation to uphold. For a noble lady from a Duke’s mansion like me to get involved in a lawsuit, you, you…”

Ji Anzhi has found her backbone and is not backing down an inch; she has even begun to take an offensive stance.

"We each have our own version of events, and both are reasonable. I think we should hand it over to the officers."

My sister wouldn't harm her. If she says to report it to the authorities, then we'll report it to the authorities.

Chunqin exclaimed "Eh!" and immediately led her people to find the officials. Tingyao also gave Ruyi a wink, signaling her to go back to the Ji family and find someone.

She patted Ji Anzhi, telling her to put her mind at ease.

The second and third wives are not ordinary straightforward people; they are excellent comrades-in-arms who will follow orders wherever they are told, and they can form a whole platoon when they stand together.

Xu Tutu watched as the person ran out, her eyes filled with undisguised panic as she looked at the maidservant with a blurry expression.

Menglong was a little guilty, but thinking that Xu Tutu was from the Duke's mansion, who would dare to disrespect her? So she grabbed her and whispered, "They're just bluffing us, don't be afraid, young lady. What about the Dali Temple? Even if the Imperial Guards come, they'll have to back down and behave themselves."

Xu Tutu was a little scared and whispered, "If Father finds out, he'll punish me..."

"Don't worry, young lady, the madam is here!"

Xu Tutu said "Oh," yes, her mother loved her the most.

After the whispers on both sides ended, Xu Tutu crossed her arms and snorted defiantly at Tingyao. Her little expression made Tingyao laugh, but Xu Tutu immediately put on a stern face, snorted again, and turned her face away, refusing to look at Tingyao.

Tingyao lowered her head and smiled helplessly.

The saying "beauty is justice" applies very well to Xu Tutu.

When it comes to cuteness, nothing else matters.

Within half a quarter of an hour, someone came in from outside.

However, the person who came in made everyone's eyes widen, and some of the girls who were watching the spectacle looked like they were there for a show.

"Young Master Zhang?" Xu Tutu looked at Zhang Zhan as he entered, and was momentarily taken aback. Then her bright eyes blinked repeatedly, as if trying to determine whether it was really Zhang Zhan or a phantom that had appeared out of thin air.

Zhang Zhan shook his robes, glanced at Xu Tutu, and said, "Yes, that's right, it's me."

Xu Tutu suddenly felt like she had found a pillar of support, treating them as if they were her own people. Pointing at Ji Anzhi and Tingyao with a wronged expression, she complained to Zhang Zhan, "You've come at the right time! Be the judge! These two bullied me!"

Ji Anzhi and Tingyao: ...

That's a really baseless accusation. Shouldn't we check who's causing trouble on whose territory?

Chunqin walked over to Tingyao and Ji Anzhi, sighed with a hint of reproach, and explained what had happened when they were kicked out.

“I met Prince Zhang on the way. He recognized me and scared me so much that I told him the whole story. Then he wouldn’t let me go and said he would take care of it.”

Tingyao: ...

Two words floated down from the sky.

——It’s over.

At this time, Zhang Zhan was a die-hard fan of the Jiu Tu couple! In fact, he was a staunch supporter of this couple!

At this stage, Zhang Zhan's life plan for Zhao Siwei is to marry a good wife who will be beneficial to his future development, and Xu Tutu is the first choice.

That would be a bit tricky.

At this stage, Xu Tutu has no offensive or lethal power, but if Zhang Zhan comes along, he'll be a formidable force with a big sword and shield.

Tingyao stroked her chin, looking Zhang Zhan up and down.

It was confirmed once again that she and Ji Anzhi absolutely could not offend Zhang Zhan at present, and would even be utterly defeated by him.

She began to pray that Ruyi's short legs would run faster, and that Ji Xiaosi, that most courageous kid, would come over!

But now, what should she say?

While Tingyao was still thinking, Zhang Zhan's pleasant voice had already spoken.

"In my opinion, this matter is your own responsibility, Tu."

The gentle voice rang out, and Tingyao almost cried out "Ah!" Her eyes widened in shock.

Oh my god, how could Zhang Zhan utter such "human language"? Could he be possessed by some evil spirit? Oh no, he probably hasn't finished speaking yet...

Zhang Zhan looked at Xu Tutu.

"I gave you the dress five days ago, and you're only now discovering the problem. You should have checked the courtyard inside and out for any suspicious hands or feet. Only after confirming everything is correct and you truly believe it's a problem with Miss Ji's shop should you take action."

"Or have you already interrogated the servants in the manor who had access to this item? Let me see their signed and fingerprinted testimonies."

Xu Tutu's eyes widened: !!

"Look carefully, do you see clearly who I am?"

Zhang Zhan nodded, indicating that he understood, and even addressed her by her first name, "Xu Tutu, don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense?"

Tingyao: ? ? ?

Zhang Zhan, have you been possessed by Zhao Siwei? You're not going to support your CP anymore? You can be a fan leader, but if you unfollow, how are we supposed to continue the story?
