Inside the room, Yang Ruxin had already heard Du Yunpeng coming over and quickly pushed away Gu Qingheng: "Du Yunpeng, whatâs the matter?"
Gu Qingheng was quite helpless, indeed sometimes servants could be quite a bother.
Du Yunpeng quickly composed himself and went inside: "Madam, something has happened at the Longfeng Embroidery Store!"
Yang Ruxin immediately stood up: "Letâs go take a look, call Wei Yao."
However, before Yang Ruxin could say anything, Gu Qiao also arrived, saying that General Jiang had ordered the General to go to the Governorâs Office immediately.
The Longfeng Embroidery Store was in complete chaos at that moment; a group of house servants had surrounded the entire store, and inside it was smashed to bits.
"Everyone, just listen, this Longfeng Embroidery Store, they claim to have obtained a prescription from the Divine Doctor Dao Xuzi, and then made dolls, saying hugging that doll not only brings joy but also fortifies the body." A woman vented her indignation to the onlookers, "Our daughter liked it, so we spent a fortune to buy one. She was happy hugging it, but sadly, it didnât strengthen her body. Instead, it gave her a rash all over, and no matter how many doctors we called, they couldnât cure it or find the cause. Yesterday, we invited the Imperial Physician, only to find out that the dollâs belly was stuffed with medicine, and that medicine was poisonous..."
The people around immediately started to discuss in hushed tones.
"I also grabbed one, such a small thing costs ten taels of silver each, and my daughter has been saying her throat itches these past few days, could it be... I must hurry home to check..."
"Our lady also bought one; I need to go back and warn her, see if anything happens..."
"We couldnât afford it, but they say itâs so expensive, how could it be poisonous?"
"Who knows? I reckon theyâre using the Divine Doctorâs name to scam money?"
"Isnât Longfeng Embroidery Store owned by the Wei Family?"
"Whoever owns it, itâs wrong to have no conscience..."
"I heard that the Wei Family is behind this embroidery store..."
"Whatâs the Wei Family worth? To behave so unscrupulously, they should be punished. Letâs go to the Governorâs Office to file a complaint, or take it higher if needed..."
A carriage appeared from somewhere behind the crowd, and on it, Wei Yaoâs face was pale, her hands clenched tightly.
"Serves them right." Yu Qingge was extremely excited, "This is the result of evil begetting evil."
Wei Yao suddenly raised her eyes: "Xinxin, was it you?"
Yang Ruxin nodded: "Yes, Iâm always like this; if someone shows me an inch of respect, Iâll return a foot. Likewise, if someone schemes against me a little, I must make them pay back tenfold..."
"Wei Yao, what do you mean by asking this? Are you blaming my sister? Or are you going to report us first?" Yu Qingge was displeased, "The Wei Family is nothing; if they got schemed against by my sister, itâs their good fortune..."
"You misunderstood." Wei Yao smiled and then relaxed, "Iâm not blaming you, nor would I report you. I just feel..." She looked up at Yang Ruxin, "Itâs satisfying."
Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrow slightly.
"The Wei Family donât deserve prosperity." Wei Yao snorted coldly, "Their wealth has made them lose their true selves. The collapse of Longfeng Embroidery Store might actually be a good thing."
"Thatâs the right way to think." Yu Qingge immediately patted Wei Yao on the shoulder, "No one can bully my sister, and if they dare act, they must have the courage to face the consequences."
