”Just that hairpin just now could have sold for at least a dozen a month, and one of them could have earned at least twenty to thirty silver taels. But this is just an unconventional hairpin, are you trying to tell me that you can't earn any silver taels from this set of hairpins?” A profit of fifty silver taels a month. Shopkeeper Yun, I'm afraid that even that would not be enough for you to visit a brothel! ”
That final sound shook Manager Yun from his chair and he fell off.
”Miss, it's really unjustly accused. This, this business is sometimes bleak and sometimes good, it's fine to drag it down. This little one has served Miss for many years, how could I dare to deceive Miss!” Shopkeeper Yun was secretly shocked. He thought Bai Zhiling was a young lady who knew nothing, so he wasn't too careful when settling accounts. He didn't expect that he would be cheated!
”Bai Zhiling lowered her eyes and blew on her pink wet nails.” ”Lee Qing, bring them up here.”
When Manager Yun saw the person being brought up, he heaved a sigh of relief.
That person was the shop assistant in the shop. This shop assistant had a weakness in his hands, so he was not afraid that he would speak carelessly.
Who knew that as soon as the shop assistant knelt down, he would do all of this?
”The shopkeeper told us not to say anything. Even if someone asked, we wouldn't admit it …” ”Please spare my life, Miss. I was forced to hide this from you. I was forced by the shopkeeper to do this …” He carefully told them everything that Shopkeeper Yun usually told them.
What boss is a fool, from now on they will be living off this shop, in any case, no one will be able to read the fake accounts.
Shopkeeper Yun's face had already turned white, and he was so scared that he could not speak.
”Miss, please don't listen to this stinking brat's nonsense. He is just randomly making things up.”
”Bai Zhiling raised her cold eyes and glared at him.” Don't take anyone else as a fool. I'll give you five days' time, at least give me the silver that you coveted for five years. Otherwise … I think Manager Yun doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail for such a young age. ”
Manager Yun's face paled and he was scared speechless.
”Miss, please spare my life. This little one will not dare …” Shopkeeper Yun could tell that Bai Zhiling was not easy to fool. She must have some ability to make the shop assistant bite back at him. Although five years of silver was painful, it was still better than going to the dungeon!
”...”
The roasted deer feast arrived three days later as scheduled.
The banquet was held in the afternoon. Bai Zhiling packed her things after lunch and prepared to leave.
The full moon followed her, and Lee Qing drove to the Residence of He.
The time of her arrival was neither early nor late. By the time she arrived, there were already many luxurious carriages parked outside the Residence of He. Some were ostentatious, some were low-key, and some were luxurious.
Bai Zhiling's carriage was nothing to these people.
Although the Roasting Deer Banquet was a banquet held in the Residence of He, there were many distinguished guests present. County Princess brought Hee Qiqi and the others and stood outside the door to receive the guests.
When Hee Qiqi saw the official smile on Bai Zhiling's face turn real, he walked forward and held her hand.
”You finally came. I thought you wouldn't dare to come.” Her voice was not loud, so only the two of them could hear her.
Bai Zhiling laughed nonchalantly. That post of yours is hard to come by with money. Moreover, I have never eaten venison before, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't come to taste it? ”
The moment County Princess asked someone to bring the VIP in, she saw Hee Qiqi talking to Bai Zhiling. She had met Bai Zhiling before she was married, so she didn't like her at that time.
If she knew that her daughter was going to post to Bai Zhiling, she would definitely be stopped by someone.
”It's the eldest miss of the Duke Jingxi Manor. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite them in.”
maidservant walked up behind him.
County Princess didn't try to hide the displeasure in her eyes. Bai Zhiling could obviously feel it.
But so what?
