Chapter 391: Time 1, Throw the Pot Away
“Ji Chuhe, no matter what you do to the fabrics outside, you can’t touch the ones in my shop. If there is nothing wrong with these fabrics, then you are deliberately causing trouble! Today, I will never let you off easily!” The eldest princess shouted at Ji Chuhe, as if she had already won.
"Princess, there are at least a hundred pieces of cloth here, and we have only opened three pieces. It doesn't mean anything. It won't be too late for you to speak up when all the cloths are opened and checked and there is no problem with them." Ji Chuhe retorted softly.
"Someone come! Help open all the cloth!" The eldest princess gave an order and asked her people to go up and help.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess's men had just received a piece of cloth and opened it a little when their faces turned cold and they stopped moving.
Ji Chuhe slowly stood up and walked in front of those people.
"What's on this cloth?" she asked deliberately.
Lord Jin also hurried over and said, "These are the moldy cloths! They are exactly the same as what Liu San and the others bought."
The eldest princess also stood up and walked over quickly.
"With so many goods piled together, it's normal for one piece to get moldy. Which cloth shop dares to guarantee that none of its cloth is moldy? Ji Chuhe just wants to take advantage of this loophole!" The eldest princess immediately found an excuse.
"That's right, the princess is right. Not to mention one piece of cloth is moldy, even if there are three or five pieces, it is normal. However, all these cloths were taken from the caravan. If more than ten pieces are moldy, it is enough to prove that this batch of goods has problems. I say this, do you have any objection, princess?"
"Don't even mention ten. More than five have problems, and we still have so many moldy ones in our hands!" someone interjected.
"Yeah, does that mean the cloth in our hands doesn't count?" someone immediately agreed.
"The ten pieces I mentioned is still a conservative estimate. There must be a lot of moldy cloth among these cloths. Lord Jin, let's put it this way. If you can't find ten moldy pieces among these cloths, then it will be my responsibility. I will bear all the consequences of this matter." Ji Chuhe's tone was as calm as ever.
"Madam, you are also a victim in this matter. Why should you be held responsible?"
"Yes! Clearly someone is using his power to oppress us powerless people!"
"If I had known that the shop was owned by the princess, I would never have gone in there!"
The eldest princess listened to what these people said, and her chest heaved with anger.
"Continue to demolish!" she ordered immediately.
She wanted to see how much more cloth there was that was defective. If there were less than ten pieces, Ji Chuhe would bear all the consequences!
This is what Ji Chuhe said himself!
The cloths were opened one by one, and every two or three pieces opened, one was found to be moldy. Some were moldy all over, while some were only moldy at the innermost part. In any case, these cloths could definitely not be sold normally as a whole!
As more and more moldy cloths were found, the eldest princess's expression became increasingly unsightly.
How come there are so many?
How dare these caravans give her such goods!
The eldest princess was furious.
Liao Yunfei looked at this scene and felt even more desperate.
She had the same doubts in her heart as the eldest princess.
These caravans seem to be afraid of the princess. How dare they fool her?
At the same time, she had other thoughts in her mind.
Why wasn’t it someone sent by Ji Chuhe?
How come this matter was not arranged by Ji Chuhe?
Now how to do?
The eldest princess will definitely put all the blame on her.
as predicted.
The eldest princess kicked Liao Yunfei.
"You idiot! How did you inspect the goods? So many of them are moldy, and you didn't even know about it!"
"Princess, time is too urgent. I can only check the numbers. I don't have time to check them carefully!" Liao Yunfei defended herself aggrievedly.
The eldest princess felt her blood boiling and she began to feel dizzy again.
"Go check immediately to find out which caravan these cloths belong to!" the princess shouted.
When all the account books of the shop were brought to the eldest princess, she became so angry that her eyes turned black.
There are more than 30 caravans, and more than 20 of them have records of cloth, and the prices are all the same. How can they tell whose goods are whose?
It is impossible for her to kill all the twenty or so caravans carrying cloth because of this incident!
She can't go after those caravans!
She wants to cut Liao Yunfei into pieces right now!
The eldest princess suddenly lost control, grabbed Liao Yunfei's collar, and slapped Liao Yunfei in the face!
"I thought you were capable of something, but this is how you harmed me?"
"Princess, calm down. I... I really have no experience."
The princess pushed Liao Yunfei away and turned to Lord Jin and said, "Lord Jin, I was also deceived by Liao Yunfei! Who knows if she colluded with those caravans and deliberately brought some of these goods to my shop! Thank you Lord Jin for helping me find out the truth."
Lord Jin was stunned for a moment. It seemed that the eldest princess was going to shift all the responsibility onto Liao Yunfei.
"Master Jin, I have no opinion on how you deal with Liao Yunfei. I will hold her accountable! She caused me to suffer such a huge loss, so she must compensate me accordingly!"
After the princess finished speaking, she looked at Ji Chuhe and said, "Madam, Liao Yunfei is still your concubine. Logically speaking, she has committed such a serious crime, and you, as the mistress of the house, also have an unshirkable responsibility. You must take on this responsibility, right?"
Liao Yunfei immediately understood what the princess meant, turned around, crawled towards Ji Chuhe, and hugged Ji Chuhe's legs.
"Madam, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have been obsessed with money and stuffed so many inferior goods into the princess's shop, causing the princess to suffer such a huge loss! But there is a reason why I want to make money so desperately. When I first entered the mansion, you asked me to count the items in the mansion. My stepmother and I had an argument and broke a lot of porcelain. I owed the mansion more than 10,000 taels of silver! I just want to pay back all the debts I owe to the mansion!"
Xiao Yan'an was so angry that she pushed Liao Yunfei away from Ji Chuhe and stood in front of Ji Chuhe, not giving Liao Yunfei any chance to get close to her again.
The princess sneered, "Master Jin, Liao Yunfei has admitted it. You can continue to investigate this case. I will send someone to the shop to take a good inventory of the goods in the shop to see if there are any other inferior goods being sold as good ones. After the investigation, I will give a figure. Master Jin must help me recover these losses."
The princess pointed to the people holding the cloth and said, "Also, Liao Yunfei is responsible for everything these people buy!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the princess wanted to leave.
"Princess, wait a minute." Ji Chuhe suddenly called out.
"What's the matter? Does the Crown Prince's wife have anything else to say?" The eldest princess turned around and looked at Ji Chuhe with a smile.
