After Jiujiu finished speaking, she sat down on a stool. She casually picked up a round fan and gently waved it. She smiled and said, "If my family's clothes really caused Madam to get sick, I will definitely take responsibility for Madam. If not, then Madam can wait to see an official."
The mean woman was originally invited by Pang Wan to disrupt Jiujiu's family business. If she was really sick, she would have been lying in bed on the verge of death. How could she be so energetic and clamoring here?
She thought that Jiujiu would admit that she was unlucky like the other shop owners and pay her and then respectfully send her away. However, she didn't expect that Jiujiu would not play by the rules. She actually wanted to call a doctor.
Ren Xin Hall's Doctor Zhang was a famous Divine Doctor. If he were to take her pulse, wouldn't her nonsense be discovered by others?
Not only would her nonsense be discovered, but she would also be taken to see an official.
After seeing the steamed bun leave, the mean woman immediately said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do at home. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Before the mean woman could walk out of the door, Jiujiu grabbed her arm. Jiujiu smiled and said, "Since Madam said that my family's clothes caused you to get sick, then stay. Doctor Zhang is famous for being a good doctor. He can definitely cure your illness. Don't worry. Since it was caused by my family's clothes, I will definitely spend money to cure you."
The more Jiujiu said this, the more flustered the mean woman became.
She wasn't sick at all. What was there to cure?
At this moment, the mean woman didn't look as fierce as before. Instead, she was exceptionally terrified. She was only thinking about how to escape this place.
The mean woman struggled without thinking, wanting to escape from Jiujiu's control.
However, Jiujiu looked thin and weak, as if she would fall with a touch. However, her strength was like an iron hoop that she couldn't break free.
As time passed, the mean woman became more flustered. She struggled harder and harder. In the end, she even wanted to use her hands and feet to break free from Jiujiu's grip.
The more the mean woman resisted, the more strength Jiujiu used.
As for the mean woman, because she was afraid that Doctor Zhang would see that she was not sick and that the people around her would find out that she was talking nonsense, she was extremely scared. Her movements to break free were so big that the onlookers could see the clues.
If what she said was true, that Jiujiu had caused her to get sick, and since Jiujiu was willing to treat her for free, she only needed to wait quietly for Doctor Zhang to come. Why did she keep struggling to leave?
The mean woman's constant attempts to leave made those who believed in her instantly doubt whether what she had just said was true.
Steamed Bun quickly invited Doctor Zhang over.
The moment Doctor Zhang appeared, the mean woman's extremely ugly face due to her struggle instantly turned ashen.
It was obvious that she had thought of something terrible.
When the surrounding people saw the sudden change in the mean woman's expression, they understood which of her words were true and which were false.
After Doctor Zhang took the mean woman's pulse, he quickly concluded that her body was strong and that she was not sick.
Doctor Zhang's hair was completely white and he was famous for being a benevolent doctor. Every month, he would treat people who did not have the money to see a doctor for free. If the other party did not even have the money to buy medicine, he would use his own money to buy medicine for them. He was famous for being a good person in the capital.
As a result, Doctor Zhang could not help Jiujiu make a false statement.
Now that Doctor Zhang said that the other party was not sick, then she naturally was not sick.
If that was the case, then what she said just now was pure nonsense.
Jiujiu gave Doctor Zhang ten taels of silver, "I've troubled Old Zhang to make this trip. Treat this money as a token of my appreciation. Treat it as my help for those who do not have the money to treat their illnesses."
Jiujiu and Doctor Zhang did not interact, but Doctor Zhang's wife had come to Jiujiu several times to make clothes.
After Jiujiu found out that the other party was Doctor Zhang's wife, she always used the best cloth and charged the cheapest price.
After Doctor Zhang's wife found out about Jiujiu's methods, she once asked Jiujiu why she was doing this. After receiving Jiujiu's praise for Doctor Zhang, she told Doctor Zhang about Jiujiu.
At this moment, Doctor Zhang saw that Jiujiu was really like what his wife said, so he smiled and agreed, then turned to leave.
After Doctor Zhang left, the mean woman was as pitiful as she was arrogant before.
Jiujiu directly ordered people to tie up the mean woman and prepared to hand her over to the authorities to deal with.
Just now, the mean woman was like a tiger in Jiujiu's shop. Not only did she bully Jiujiu's employees, but she also scolded many embroiderers. The people in Jiujiu's shop had long disliked her. Now that she was in their hands, she naturally could not get away with it.
Just when Jiujiu's employees were tying up the mean woman, a group of people surrounded Jiujiu's shop again. Pang Wan walked in arrogantly and looked at Jiujiu, saying, "Oh, I was wondering why it was so noisy outside. It turns out that someone is being tied up inside."
Seeing Pang Wan again, Jiujiu naturally did not have a pleasant expression.
"Mrs. Xiao, what brings you to my shop?"
Pang Wan did not know that Jiujiu had exposed the mean woman's lie. She thought that everything was going according to her plan. Looking at the mean woman who was tied up like a dumpling, Pang Wan said with a smile, "I heard that there was something wrong with the clothes you sold here and people got sick because of it, so I came to take a look."
Pang Wan paused and looked at the mean woman who was tied up like a dumpling by Jiujiu. She said, "It's already wrong that there is something wrong with your clothes, but you tied her up. If this gets out, I'm afraid …"
Pang Wan did not speak, but Jiujiu knew that Pang Wan was probably the one who caused this farce today.
After Pang Wan spoke, Jiujiu was even more certain that it was Pang Wan who caused this.
However, Pang Wan did not know that the mean woman did not end well in her hands. Instead, Pang Wan exposed her lie.
At this moment, Pang Wan's words were a little funny.
Jiujiu chuckled and looked at Pang Wan. She said, "Mrs. Xiao, I'm a little confused. What do you mean by there is something wrong with my clothes and it's not good to tie her up?"
Jiujiu's feigned ignorance made Pang Wan a little confused.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Jiujiu be frightened when her clothes caused someone to get sick and she was caught red-handed by her enemy?
Why was she so self-righteous? Could it be that there was something wrong with her clothes?
However, now that Pang Wan had said so, it was hard for her to back down. She could only bite the bullet and say, "I heard that the clothes you sold here caused people to get sick."
"You also said that you heard about it. It's just hearsay. How can you take it seriously?" Jiujiu pointed at the mean woman whose face was ashen.
