Chapter 324 She Was Only Using Him

Zhang Wan. She's really pretty, living up to her name. She's gentle and graceful, much better than her older sister.""That's right, Second Miss Zhang is a talented lady who excels in qin (guqin), ches..."Absolutely impossible!" Ke Wu Xiu-niang said with certainty. "The day we accepted the order, when we went to the warehouse to pick up needles, the warehouse manager would check them, and then the custodian would also carefully inspect them before handing them over to us embroiderers. After I received them, I would also check them carefully. As a qualified embroiderer, how could I make a mistake on this Furthermore, after we finished embroidering, we sent the finished garments to the quality inspection department, where there were specialized inspectors who checked the thread and needlework. Then, they would place the garment under a magnet and carefully inspect it. Such a large magnet could easily attract not just an embroidery needle but even an iron bar. A finished product would have to pass through at least three inspections by different inspectors before being locked into the display cabinet. Until the customer came to collect it, no one else would be able to touch the garment."

To be honest, the entire process at Ruyi Fang was flawlessly executed. But what about that needle

Wu Xiu Niang paused for a moment, then continued: "On the day of completion, we must return the needles we were issued. I remember very clearly that yesterday I returned the entire box of needles to the warehouse. The warehouse also counted them in front of me, there was absolutely no possibility of error."

"Who knows if what you say is true" Mrs. Liu simply didn't believe him: "Perhaps, you took the order for the next day that same day and then went to collect double wages as well."

"That's even more impossible! Because the head monk has already decreed that every time an embroidery woman completes a garment, she must rest for two days before accepting another commission. So after I hand it in, I definitely wouldn't go and collect double the needlework again for two days, and besides, you can't even get double the pay for a single day!"

This is also because Feng Yanniang empathizes with them, fearing they would be too tired, so there is such a regulation.

"There's no witness, and now it's your word against mine. But my sister-in-law can't just be wronged like this! Besides, what the people from Ruyi Pavilion say doesn't count anyway!" Lady Liu was determined that they had no evidence, so she insisted they were wrong.

"Who said there was no eyewitness Besides, I'm sure he isn't from our Ruyi Pavilion!" Xiao Yuge curled her lips slightly and clapped her hands.

Just then, a man tied up with ropes was suddenly thrown in from outside!

And when Mrs. Liu saw the man, her rosy face immediately changed!

"Who are you" Chu Tianqi looked at the man who had been thrown in, couldn't help but frown secretly. Who did this What kind of place does his Dali Temple think it is.

The man bound with ropes ignored the pain and quickly knelt before Chu Tianqi, then told him everything in detail.

As it turns out, he was Liu Fu's distant cousin and had some martial arts skills. He was particularly adept at light kung fu, earning the nickname "Water Floating". A few days ago, he happened to come to Beijing to seek refuge and when he was thinking about dealing with Ruyifang, she had her distant cousin secretly infiltrate Ruyifang. Taking advantage of their shift change and his agility, he stealthily stole Wu Xiu's needles. However, he wasn't aware of the rules in Xiulou, so he mistakenly stole only a pair of needles.

"You're lying!" When Mrs. Liu saw that things had been exposed, she naturally denied it to her death: "I don't know you at all!" She never thought that she had already arranged for him to leave. According to the time, he should have left the capital long ago, but how could he still appear here Because, as long as there was no evidence from this person, no matter how Ruyi Fang argued, it would be impossible to clear its name.

However, she didn't expect that Qian Tingxuan was the head of Leiting Pavilion. Forget about finding someone who had just left the capital, even if a person disappeared for ten or so years, as long as they weren't dead, they would be able to find them.

That man, upon hearing this, immediately became agitated: "Cousin, you can't treat me like this! It was you who said it back then, that after the matter was resolved, you would give me five thousand taels. You still owe me three thousand taels, and I even have the IOU you personally wrote!"

"Sir, things are now very clear."

Xiao Yu's gaze unconsciously drifted to Fang Minrou, a slight upturn at the corner of her lips: Such childish tactics, what a waste of time.

Finally, this ridiculous farce ended with Madam Liu and her sister-in-law being arrested for false accusations. In the end, because the plot was not too serious and there was a plea from Lord Shaoqing, they compensated for the damage to Ruixiang Pavilion's reputation and were then taken back to Liu Mansion for discipline.

"Song!"

As Chu Tianqi was leaving, he chased after them.

"Master, is there anything else" Xiao Yu Ge stopped.

At the sound of his father's voice, Chu Tianqi felt a pang in his heart and his eyes involuntarily welled up with pain: "Ger, you don't even want to call me brother anymore"

Xiao Yu sang, her eyes lowered in silence.

"Daughter, I know you won't forgive me... But, mother is ill. She misses you very much. Father said she called out your name in her dreams. I hope you can go back and see her..."

"I'll go back and see my mother." Xiao Yuge said, then ignored him and walked straight out. Such a scumbag is not worthy of forgiveness!

"Xiao Yu Ge!"

As she just stepped onto the stone bridge, Fang Minrou, who had been waiting there earlier, stopped her.

"Miss Fang, is something the matter" Xiao Yuge looked at her with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Xiao Yu Ge, how can you possibly leave Brother Ting Xuan" Fang Min Rou, who had always been unwilling to admit defeat, felt a profound sense of failure for the first time in her life. But she refused to lose to Xiao Yu Ge, such a little girl.

Xiao Yu Ge raised an eyebrow, twirling the silk scarf in her hand, feigning indifference: "He treats me so well, providing for my food and shelter. Why would I leave him Without him, wouldn't I have nothing"

"Are you using him" Fang Minrou's eyes turned cold.

"He willingly does so, doesn't count as being used." Xiao Yuge you provoked her, blinking at her with beautiful eyes, wanting to fight Just these two days because she came on her period, she didn't dare to move around much. Today, moving around a bit wouldn't hurt.

"Xiao Yu Ge, you deserve to die! Brother Ting Xuan treated you so well, and you actually took advantage of him!" She craved what she couldn't have, but Xiao Yu Ge didn't cherish it. How could she not be angry

"Miss Fang, if you like him, just go after him. I won't stop you. However, what happens between him and me is our business, it's none of your concern. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble for me, because any trouble you cause will eventually reach the king in the end." Xiao Yuge said as she walked to the middle of the stone bridge.

"Xiao Yu Ge, as long as you're dead, Brother Ting Xuan will understand who is best to him!" Fang Min Rou suddenly glared at Xiao Yu Ge with malice and took a step towards her.

"What Want to kill me" Xiao Yuge laughed, her laughter becoming more and more enchanting: "Miss Fang, don't say you can't kill me at all, even if you could, if you killed me, the King would undoubtedly kill you without hesitation!"

"Is that so" Fang Min glanced around. "There's no one here. If I killed you here, do you think anyone would know"."You dare ignore me I'll settle the score with you when we get back!" Qian Tingxuan told the coachman to slow down the carriage, afraid she might be uncomfortable from the jolting. “I heard that last...
