Chapter 1050: Chapter 1048: Courting Death
Carrying a parcel of new clothes, Wufu and Jadeite left Rongxiu Pavilion under Manager Sunâs gaze.
Manager Sun watched the two get into a carriage and leave, then glanced at the damp floor sprinkled with fragrant powder. His face turned ashen, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and turned around to give instructions: "Prepare the carriage." This matter definitely couldnât be kept hidden today; it must be reported to the madam.
Before Wufu returned to the residence, he instructed Chi Liu: "Go and find that girl Lu Xiaodie who caused trouble in Rongxiu Pavilion today and bring her over."
"Yes, miss."
Wufu turned and entered the residence, only to be hugged tightly, nearly falling backward.
"Xiao Qi." Wufu steadied himself, looked down, and saw that the one who had jumped at him was none other than the little thing he had brought back.
Only to see him raise his head, his little face scrunched up, eyes full of displeasure and anger.
"What happened? Who made Xiao Qi upset?" Wufu pulled him to sit down in the Floral Hall.
"Take, donât want." Xiao Qi pointed at her and then himself, expressing his strong displeasure.
Wufu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, saying: "Is Xiao Qi saying you want to be taken everywhere from now on?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
"Alright, youâll be taken everywhere from now on, but you also have to learn to speak well and learn skills from the brothers." Wufu touched his small bald head, which had grown some prickly hair.
Xiao Qi said: "Learn, with you."
He understood the skills as well; he didnât want to be with those people, he only wanted Wufu.
"Hmm, Iâll teach you too." Wufu instructed Jadeite, saying: "Thereâs nothing important for now, go fetch a couple of books on Three Character Classic, then go to the courtyard over in North City and bring back some servants."
Jadeite responded crisply.
East City, Guixi Alley, Wu Residence.
The sound of a tea cup shattering resonated through the main courtyard.
"Everyone leave." Nanny Wei stood in the corridor, dispersing the young maids, and stood by the door, listening intently to the conversation inside.
Inside the main room, Eldest Lady Wu, Madam Wang, looked at Manager Sun with an ashen face and said in a deep voice: "She dared, dared to pour filth in the shop?"
Though she hadnât seen it with her own eyes, just thinking about that scene made Madam Wang feel a surge of sourness, as if the air was filled with a stench.
She suppressed the feeling of nausea and grabbed the tea cup offered again by a girl, taking a fierce sip to suppress the acidity down.
"I didnât expect that girl to use such a vile method either," Manager Sun rubbed his tired forehead, saying: "Luckily, the customers who came to the shop today werenât of extremely noble status, otherwise, even a one tael of silver discount wouldnât settle it!"
Madam Wangâs expression shifted again, understanding Manager Sunâs meaning. If noble ladies and daughters had witnessed such a scene, would anyone dare to come and support them in the future?
Rongxiu Pavilion was famous, but in all of Changan City, they werenât the only ones who could make clothes; there were several more famous Embroidery Workshops.
"I knew it, I shouldnât have been soft-hearted back then, that wretched girl, doesnât know whatâs good for her, truly vile!" Madam Wang gritted her teeth in anger.
"Madam, this isnât a trivial matter, if she comes a few more times, it will also harm the shopâs reputation, what do you think?" Manager Sun asked with a furrowed brow.
"Since sheâs tired of living, letâs send her on her way!" Madam Wang spat out the words through gritted teeth.
Manager Sunâs heart trembled, looked at the noble and composed lady, and tentatively asked: "Madamâs meaning is?"
Madam Wangâs eyes looked lightly over, the meaning in them unclear, and Manager Sun was secretly shocked, lowering his head.
