Chu Mu couldn't bear to do it, but he didn't have any relationship with that woman after all. Furthermore, seeing how confident Gong Wu was, he was still a little hesitant.
Unexpectedly, the lady suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
Even through a veil, he saw a pair of eyes full of uneasiness, helplessness and stubbornness.
He did not know why, but that pair of eyes fell into his heart.
He did not need to explain, he believed that she was innocent.
A sense of impatience rose in his heart. He wanted to save her from the fire and water, to restore her innocence.
At that moment, Chu Mu did not like Gong Wu who continued to be aggressive.
"Second Lady Gong, you said that this lady is Su Mei who framed you. Do you have any evidence?"
Gong Wu looked at the man in front of her with displeasure. She scolded him in her heart for not being sensible.
After a cold smile, she raised her voice.
"Ever since Su Mei was kicked out of the Gong Family, someone saw her entering the Warm Jade Pavilion. It's okay for her to abandon herself, but she shouldn't have held a grudge and taken revenge on the Gong Family. Su Mei, it's obvious that you did something wrong. It's okay if you don't repent, but why did you do such a despicable thing? "
Lin Mengwu thought that she had a sharp eye. She had etched Su Mei's slutty figure into her mind.
The more she looked at the lady in red, the more she felt that the figure of the lady in red was exactly the same as Su Mei's. Moreover, that bitch was good at arguing, but she did not dare to say a word when she saw her.
If this was not guilt, then what was it?
The lady in red shook her head in panic. She looked down, as if she was very afraid.
Chu Mu was even more furious. In his eyes, the lady in red clearly wanted to argue, but was afraid. It was as if Gong Wu wanted to swallow him alive.
He could not help but support the lady in red. He really could not stand Gong Wu's domineering manner.
"Don't be afraid. You just have to tell the truth. As long as I am here, no one will dare to touch you. No one. "
These words were obviously meant for Gong Wu to hear.
She was so angry that she almost lost her composure and asked him what he meant.
Liu Qianrong had been paying attention to the situation. Seeing that the time was right, she gently pulled out the lady who was hiding behind her and comforted her.
"Mingzhu, don't be afraid. Just say it. With so many esteemed guests present, no one will be able to harm you. "
Gong Wu harrumphed coldly.
Even if he's someone that my sister has taken a fancy to, he's only so-so. He can't even withstand a single blow.
Unexpectedly, the red-clothed woman actually knelt on the ground with a 'putong' sound and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Sirs, please help Mingzhu!"
That voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, filled with endless grievance and grief.
The woman kowtowed three times in a row. Her originally smooth and white forehead instantly oozed dark red blood.
"My name is Ye Mingzhu, I am the only daughter of a cloth shop owner outside of Karghalik. Three months ago, someone ordered us to hurry up and make an expensive piece of cloth, saying that the master needed it urgently. That kind of cloth is very hard to come by. Even a small cloth shop like ours would need at least half a month to weave it. But the customer forced my father to complete the task within half a month under the pretext that we had already received the deposit. My father was framed, so he had to work through the night and finally finished on time. But who knew that the customer was very unruly, using the color as an excuse, not only did he not give us the rest, he even beat my father who wanted to seek justice, until he was crippled. My father could not bear the humiliation and died. Mingzhu had nowhere else to go, so she could only beg for a way out in the Warm Jade Pavilion. "
Mingzhu's tearful complaint was truly heartbreaking.
Everyone at the scene was startled.
Even a cold-hearted person would feel that this was a little too much.
The more Gong Wu heard, the more shocked she was. She had already forgotten about this small matter, but now she suddenly remembered. When she first came to Karghalik, she thought that she would be able to enter the inner chambers very quickly, but she was actually rejected outside the door.
Thus, she reneged on the debt.
And she even used the advantage of having more people to teach the stupid cloth shop owner a lesson.
But she never thought that he would actually die.
His daughter even came to find her, and for a piece of cloth, she was humiliated, it was truly despicable.
"Preposterous! May I ask Miss Mingzhu, where is this evil person? "
Chu Mu was filled with anger, and felt even more pity for Mingzhu who was kneeling there.
Ming Zhu raised her head, her eyes looking straight at Gong Wu.
"This person, is the second young miss of the Gong family, Gong Wu!"
"You're talking nonsense! I don't even know you, and have never seen the owner of the cloth shop that you speak of. Obviously, you're the one who insulted me! "
Naturally, Lin Mengwu was not willing to accept the accusation, and subconsciously denied it.
But she never thought that at that moment, Mingzhu took out a document from her chest.
"This is the receipt for the order, it clearly states that the person who ordered it, is Gong Wu."
With that, she lifted the veil on her face.
A beautiful face that was completely different from Su Mei's portrait, was displayed in front of everyone.
"At that time, I even measured the size of the clothes for the second young miss of the Gong family, I have long remembered how big the clothes you wear."
Immediately, she reported the data.
Lin Mengwu panicked, if it wasn't someone close to her, how would she know?
The direction of the wind, slowly changed.
"What you're saying is all fake, I have no grievances with you in the past, nor do I have any enmity with you recently, why do you want to ruin my reputation? I know, it's all Su Mei's doing, isn't it? Where is she, I want to confront her on the spot! "
Lin Mengwu knew, as long as she clenched her teeth and refused to admit, then this matter would not count.
But at that moment, there were many people rushing over.
Among the crowd, many of them recognized them.
"Eh? Aren't those the owners of the few shops in Karghalik? What are they doing here? "
Very quickly, everyone got the answer.
They saw the owner of the jewelry shop, holding a stack of bills, walking into the crowd.
"Second young miss of the Gong family, you've taken jewelry from me for the past few months, shouldn't you pay for it? I'm running a small business, I really can't afford to owe you! "
And another owner of the rouge shop, smiled apologetically and said.
"Second young miss, to tell you the truth. The rouge that you've taken recently are all in high demand. You have a good eye, you've picked the best. But my shop is also facing financial difficulties, I hope that second young miss will do me a favor and pay for my shop! "
These people turned out to be Lin Mengwu's creditors.
Lin Mengya, who had been watching the show from the crowd, smiled.
Lin Mengwu loved extravagance, especially after seeing the wealth of the Gong family. She thought that sooner or later she would become the head of the Gong family and enjoy all the riches and splendor, so she spent without restraint.
She had also instructed the shops in the city to indulge her in many things, so that Lin Mengwu would owe a huge sum of money today.
As for Mingzhu, it was true, but her identity was fake.
She was a dancer that Liu Qianrong had secretly bought, and she had been trained by Liu Qianrong personally. Everyone could see how effective she was just now.
Ha, didn't Lin Mengwu want to ruin her reputation?
After today, who knew if she would be a street rat that everyone would want to beat up.
"You … What nonsense are you talking about? I, when did I owe you money? "
Lin Mengwu panicked.
She did not expect these people to come to her at this time.
In fact, these people had urged her more than once, but every time, she used her identity as the head of the Gong family to pressure them, so they had no choice but to obey.
She did not expect that today, when she was supposed to show her face, she would be disrupted by these people.
She was a little anxious and wanted to send these people away, but she did not expect them to be angered.
"How can you say that, Second Miss? The Moon Palace Agarwood Hairpin on your head is my shop's most prized possession! "
"That's right, the pair of phoenix head shoes that Second Miss is wearing today, the pearls and cloud patterns on it were sewn by the best craftsman in our shop. There's no other pair in the entire Ye City, how can you say that, Second Miss? "
"We have the account signed by you personally. It's only because of your identity as the Second Miss of the Gong family that we believe you. If you go back on your words, then we'll really have no way out. "
When the shopkeepers heard that she was not going to admit to her debt, they immediately started arguing.
Lin Mengwu glared at them and warned them, but no one cared about her.
"You, you unruly people!"
She stomped her feet and her expression changed.
These damned people, they were still fawning over her a few days ago, but she did not expect them to bite her in the blink of an eye.
The men who were invited to the banquet now looked at her with disdain.
Her face turned red, knowing that if she went on like this, she would only embarrass more people.
Immediately, she turned around and ran back to the mansion with her maidservants.
"Second Miss! Second Miss, don't go! How are we going to settle our accounts! "
When the shopkeepers received their instructions, they naturally put in a lot of effort to act.
Even Gong Tu felt a burning embarrassment on his face, but it was written clearly in black and white, so it was too late to deny it now.
His face turned cold. Lin Mengwu could run away, but he had to stay behind to clean up this mess.
"Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding. I think it's because the Gong family has been too busy these few days, so we forgot to settle the accounts. I'll get someone to hand over the money. "
When the shopkeepers heard this, they immediately beamed with joy and stopped making trouble.
Gong Tu immediately sent someone to ask Gong Wu how much money she owed. On the other hand, Chu Mu felt that Gong Wu was a vicious person with a heart of snakes and scorpions.
"Mr Gong Tu, I wonder how you're going to deal with this lady's family feud? It's true that the Gong family has a high status, but they shouldn't bully others like this! "
As the old residence of the Gong family, Ye City should be protected by the Gong family.
Unexpectedly, they suffered because of this. It was really despicable of Gong Wu's greed and viciousness.
