Chapter 2388: Chapter 2388: Watching You Lose Your Temper (4)
Qi Jingrong was startled, "Where are you going?" But hurriedly followed and got off the carriage.
At the entrance of the Fuji Embroidery Store, an elderly woman sat on the ground, crying and causing a scene, cursing as she cried, "Wei Bingcen, may you all meet a bad end, the Wei Family was ruined because of you, how can people survive like this?"
Beside her, a younger woman was telling the onlookers about Wei Yao’s wrongdoings, mainly accusing Wei Bingcen’s family of conspiring with outsiders to frame their kin to seize Wei Family’s property. With the original family broken, they enjoy the benefits of the store...
The noblewoman’s poisoning case from last year wasn’t spread among the commoners, so not everyone knew about it. However, most people were aware that this was originally Longfeng Embroidery Store, but now it’s become Fuji Embroidery Store. Many people are curious about what exactly happened.
"Yang Family, stop slandering here." Wei Zhangshi pointed at the young woman and snapped back, "Back then, it was the Wei Family who poisoned. This store belonged to Madam Ruyi; we were just workers. If you have the guts, go find Madam Ruyi to settle this."
Qi Jingyi only got off the carriage because he heard Madam Ruyi’s name.
Back then, when the Wei Family was exiled, all their properties were confiscated. This store was bought by Yang Ruxin, with his help, in fact. Later, it became Fuji Embroidery Store, selling traditional embroidery and fabrics, as well as some products designed by Yang Ruxin, such as bed covers and sheets. He was using them now and found them particularly convenient.
Wei Bingcen and his wife were seasoned shopkeepers, so once this embroidery store opened, business was pretty good. He saw quite a few customers every time he came.
Unexpectedly, some troublemakers came.
"Aren’t those the former wife and daughter-in-law of the Court of Judicial’s official?" Qi Jingrong immediately recognized the two women causing a scene, "How did it come to this?"
"Tenth brother, your memory is quite sharp." Qi Jingyi smiled a bit.
"Blue Imperial Censor once impeached them, so I remembered." Qi Jingrong shrugged.
"Scram!" Suddenly, someone burst out from the store, swinging a broom directly at Wei Yangshi.
Wei Yangshi was taken aback, hurriedly sidestepping to dodge the broom, then started yelling, "Wei Yao, you little wench, conspiring with outsiders to harm your own family, you harlot, you won’t die well..."
"I’ll beat you for talking nonsense." Wei Yao swung the broom again.
This time, the broom didn’t come down because someone snatched it from behind. She turned around, "Who... why are you here?"
"I’m here to watch you lose your temper." Qi Jingyi looked amused, "I didn’t expect you to be so feisty."
Wei Yao bit her lip, then glared, "If I don’t lose it, should I let them bully me? This is Xinxin’s property, I must protect it well."
Some didn’t recognize Qi Jingyi, but Wei Yangshi and the elderly Wei Zhuangshi did. They immediately stopped crying, staring blankly at Qi Jingyi.
"A broom won’t protect the property." Qi Jingyi scoffed, looking away from her, and instead turned to the two women, "You know who I am, right? Then tell me, what exactly did this Fuji Embroidery Store do to provoke you?"
Wei Zhuangshi and Wei Yangshi exchanged glances. What could they say? They came only because Wei Shicheng was dismissed from his official post, and life was hard. They wanted to get some silver from Wei Bingcen, but unexpectedly encountered Prince Yi and Prince Rong.
