Ye Li sneered, "Well, you have to sell it even if you don't want to. Well, I have to buy it today. Qing Shuang, give me the money. "
Qing Shuang took out two thousand taels of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand. She took the painting and said with a smile, "Sir, here's the money. You can leave now."
The man hesitated, "No, the two ladies …" If he left, the two ladies would not be able to walk out of the shop with the painting. Although he was in urgent need of money, he could not harm the two kind-hearted ladies. Looking at the shop assistants who had blocked the door, the man shook his head firmly and said, "I don't want to sell this painting. Miss, give it back to me."
Ye Li took the painting from Qing Shuang, opened it and looked at it. She nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Just right, I want to give this painting to someone. Sir, just take the money and leave. I want to see if there is any law under the emperor's feet. "
"In that case, you can't leave!" The shopkeeper threatened.
Ye Li looked at him in amusement. "Don't tell me you're going to kill us?"
The shopkeeper looked stiff and said coldly, "Although I don't dare to kill you, I can take you to the government office and put you in jail! Come on, take the madam's name card and take these three thieves to the government office! "
"How dare you! Be careful, or I'll chop off your claws! " Qing Shuang stood in front of Ye Li and knocked down a shop assistant who wanted to catch Ye Li. She glared at the shopkeeper and said, "You dog slave, open your eyes and look carefully. This Shen De Xuan belongs to my young lady!"
Everyone was stunned again. The shopkeeper's face was a little pale. He looked at Ye Li suspiciously, "You … you are …"
Ye Li looked at him steadily and said lightly, "My surname is Ye, and I'm the third child."
"Third Miss?" The shopkeeper cried out involuntarily. His face suddenly became ugly.
Ye Li handed the scroll to Qing Shuang. She glanced at the surrounding workers and said coldly, "Why aren't you leaving? You don't want to work anymore?" The workers looked at the shopkeeper and then looked at Ye Li before retreating to the side.
The shopkeeper's reaction wasn't slow. He only hesitated for a moment before he went forward and smiled apologetically, "Third Miss, why are you here?"
After taking a leisurely stroll around the store, Ye Li turned around and pretended not to see a shop assistant sneaking out of the door. He asked, "The name of Shen Dexuan was personally proposed by my Eldest Uncle. What is Shen De? The shopkeeper probably doesn't know. Master He, why don't you tell me? "
The appraiser who was hiding behind the counter came out trembling and said in a low voice, "In … in response to Third Miss, Master Jiu hopes that we will pay attention to virtue when we make antiques. He wants us to be careful with our words, actions, and morals."
"Well said. Then … what are you guys doing? Pretending to be a fake and forcefully buying it? "
The shopkeeper argued: "Third Miss doesn't know how to do business. We're doing this for Shen De Xuan's business. It's not easy to do business these days. "
Ye Li sneered and said, "I really don't know how to do business, but I also know that business is about trust. I also know that people can't do business without trust. Without trust, who will do business with you? What's more … your business … Now, Shen De Xuan's accounts are bleak. "
"I …"
Ye Li wanted to stop him, so she coldly said, "You don't need to explain. From now on, you don't need to do anything. As for the previous accounts, you guys better give me a clear explanation. If it's clear, if it has nothing to do with you guys, you can stay. I'll also give each of you 50 taels of silver. If it's still unclear, then you can go to prison and stay there. I want to see if your master will come to bail you out! "The shop assistants hesitated. They had heard that the Third Miss was going to marry Prince Ding. Now that the store was back in the hands of the Third Miss, they naturally had to accompany her to the Prince Ding Mansion. If they said it, they could go to the Prince Ding Mansion. If they didn't say it, they would go to prison. What's more, 50 taels of silver wasn't a small amount. It was almost equivalent to two years of their wages.
When the shopkeeper saw that everyone was wavering, he quickly came forward and shouted, "Third Miss, I'm Madam's person. You have no right to drive me away."
Ye Li smiled, "Sorry, this Shen De Xuan is mine. Clearly explain the store's accounts, then go back to where you came from. If you can't explain it clearly … it's useless even if you're Madam's younger brother. Don't tell me that your Wang Family likes to use other people's things and treat them as your own? "
"You … You …" The shopkeeper's face turned red and white.
Ye Li no longer looked at him and turned to look at the dazed young master. She already knew that the shopkeeper of Shen De Xuan had been replaced by Madam Wang's youngest brother a few years ago, "This young master, I let you suffer this humiliation. It's my fault for not restraining you properly. Please forgive me."
"No … No, it's okay." The young man waved his hand somewhat awkwardly. He didn't expect that this demure and elegant girl would be the owner of this store. Thinking about it, although he felt that it was a bit troublesome, the young man couldn't help but say, "Since Miss is the owner of Shen De Xuan, please … please take care of it. If by any chance … "If he hadn't met this girl today, he was afraid that he would have been wronged and sent to prison. Looking at the shopkeeper's actions, this wasn't the first time.
Ye Li didn't get angry. She nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your reminder. My daughter has just taken over this store. In the future, she will be strictly disciplined. I see that Young Master is quite reluctant to part with this painting. Young Master can take this painting back first. I'll just borrow the silver from Young Master. It'll be convenient to return it later. "
The man shook his head again and again, but in his heart, he was also somewhat reluctant to part with this family heirloom painting. He said, "I don't deserve it. I only ask Miss to temporarily keep this 《Moon Gazing at Clear River》 for two months. Within two months, I will find a way to return Miss's silver. "
Seeing his insistence, Ye Li didn't mind and said with a smile, "I'll leave this painting in the store. Young Master can come to redeem it at any time. Qing Shuang, add another hundred taels as an apology to this Young Master. "
"Hehe … Xiu Yao, your fiancée is a bit interesting."
Outside Shen De Xuan, a spacious and simple carriage had stopped at an unknown time. Although the people sitting in the carriage couldn't see the situation inside, their hearing was clearly much better than ordinary people. They could clearly hear what was happening inside Shen De Xuan.
In the carriage, a man in red brocade clothes had flying eyebrows that reached his temples. He was handsome and out of this world. With a smile on his face, he lazily leaned against the carriage and looked at the quiet man opposite him with ridicule.
"Feng Zhiyao, are you too idle?" The man in plain clothes sat upright in a wheelchair and looked indifferently at the man in front of him who was laughing non-stop. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was perfectly straight, as if nothing could crush him. His handsome face carried a trace of gentleness, but those clear eyes made the people he looked at feel a chill for no reason. He turned his head to look at the man in brocade clothes. A slightly sinister scar was clearly visible on the left side of his face. It immediately destroyed his original gentleness, making people not dare to look directly at him.
With a shua sound, Feng Zhiyao unfolded the folding fan in his hand and leisurely fanned himself, "Isn't it too idle? Old Man won't let me leave the capital. However, I shouldn't be too bored recently. After all, Li Wang and Prince Ding are going to get married in a month. This Emperor is too biased. Ye Li is known as the number one beauty in the capital. This Ye Li is indeed the famous third daughter of a noble family in the capital. Xiu Yao, do you really want to marry her? Isn't the Emperor clearly making it difficult for you? " It was fine if she was the third daughter of a noble family, but Mo Jingli even broke off the engagement. This Imperial Family wanted to put the face of Ding Palace under their feet.
