Chapter 134: Tricking People is So Cute
Wan Zhou was really tired, she was a pregnant woman after all.
Her mind is also in a mess.
At first, she thought Ji Nanzheng was just supporting her. In the end, he was supporting her, but he didn't expect it to be a big deal.
She thought that she would have to bear the reputation of plotting against Ji Nanzheng for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that there would be a day when she would be free from the reputation, and it was Ji Nanzheng himself who would remove it for her.
Although, she is a forward-looking person, she had foreseen this when she was implementing it, and was prepared to deal with endless harassment like today's, but it was indeed annoying and affected her mood.
Ji Nanzheng's words cleared her name, and the annoying harassment should stop. As for respect, it's not necessary, just show the minimum respect between people.
It can be considered a happy thing, but I don’t know why, maybe because I was too tired, I didn’t feel really happy in my heart. I just wanted to go back and have a rest.
When Ji Nanzheng heard Wan Zhou say that he was tired, he almost subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but after he stretched out his hand, he restrained himself and took it back.
He reminded himself to respect Wan Zhou as he had said before.
The words he said were not prepared in his mind, but were improvised out of emotion, the emotion he felt when he saw Wan Zhou being misunderstood and bullied. After he finished speaking, he realized that he should have said it earlier, and should have cleared Wan Zhou's name earlier.
Gu Wanzhou was not what they thought she was, a woman with ulterior motives who donated money just to marry into the Duke's Mansion. She did not deserve such a bad reputation.
He also seemed to understand why Wan Zhou wanted to divorce. It turned out that she had been carrying so much, carrying the stigma and misunderstanding, and he had never shared the burden with her.
I feel so guilty.
Now Wan Zhou said she was tired, and he didn't want to think about anything else but let her rest. Then he cast a look at the crowd, the meaning was very clear, quickly make way.
These people were also smart and immediately began to retreat to both sides. However, just as they made way for a path, Ji Nanxian walked in from that passage.
"Who just said that my fourth sister-in-law used the breakup fee to open Juxianlou? Stand up." Ji Nanxian stood next to Ji Nanzheng and sneered at the ladies who wished they could be buried alive on the spot.
Those ladies were also considered noble ladies, but noble families also have different levels of rank. How could they be higher than the Duke Dingguo Mansion? After a series of questions, the ladies lowered their heads.
Before, when Ji Nanzheng pretended to speak ill of Gu Wanzhou but actually belittled them as worthless, they already knew they were in trouble.
I wanted to leave, but there were so many people around me that I couldn't get out. I was forced to stay and face the fact. I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I offended the wrong people, which put me in big trouble.
Fortunately, Ji Nanzheng didn't seem to want to bother with them. They all breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with each other, and found an opportunity to run away quickly.
Unexpectedly, before they could even run away, they were called out and they all lowered their heads and dared not look at anyone.
Qiu Ge was a simple person and had long been dissatisfied with those people. When she heard Ji Nanxian's question, she pointed at the pink-dressed woman and said angrily, "It was her, she said that. She also said that our young lady was unlucky."
Ji Nanxian glanced over and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes? Do you know that you will be sued for spreading rumors?"
The woman in pink was none other than Shi Xuanting's cousin. She had heard a lot of bad things about Wan Zhou from Shi Xuanting, and today she just happened to get the chance and wanted to vent her anger for her cousin.
Previously, Ji Nanzheng implied that she was not even 3 points lower than Gu Wanzhou. She was already so ashamed and angry that she didn't want to live anymore. Now, Ji Nanxian was pointing at her and questioning her, and there were so many people around staring at her, pointing fingers at her. She felt ashamed and anxious, and had no idea how to deal with it.
Moreover, Ji Nanxian obviously knew her, but he pretended not to know her, and even said that he would be sued for making up rumors. If they really pursued the matter, she would be really scared. She bit her lips tightly, shrank her body, and was so anxious that tears came out.
Ji Nanxian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Wan Zhou: "Fourth sister-in-law, tell me whether you want to sue or not. Just say the word and I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture right away."
Wan Zhou: “…”
How come this guy is so good at finding trouble?
She had never seen Ji Nanxian, but when she heard him call her Fourth Sister-in-law and saw that she was dressed in pink and purple, she guessed her identity.
I really want to kick her out. She still calls her the fourth sister-in-law, but she is not her fourth sister-in-law at all.
Those guys were going too far, but it was just a conversation, with the other party not getting any advantage, so she didn't intend to make a fuss about it.
We are really in a difficult situation now.
"Just apologize, and that's all." Ji Nanzheng saw Wan Zhou's dilemma and came to the rescue in time.
When the pink-dressed woman heard Ji Nanzheng say that an apology was enough, she felt as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly said to Wan Zhou, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry."
At this time, the arrogant woman in yellow also bowed to Wan Zhou and said, "Miss Gu, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."
Her greeting was much more sincere than that of the woman in pink.
The rest of the people followed suit and bowed to Wan Zhou to apologize.
"It's not a misunderstanding, I really don't mind. But you guys blocking the staircase has affected the business of Juxian Building, which is real money."
Wan Zhou smiled lightly: "Manager Wu, calculate the daily turnover of Juxian Building and let them pay one third of the compensation."
"Yes, miss." Shopkeeper Wu responded quickly.
"Also, don't treat these people differently when they come to Juxianlou in the future. They are all guests, so just double the meal fee." Wan Zhou added.
Although Juxianlou is not hers, but now that she has said this, if they really come, Juxianlou will charge them double the meal fee.
As for today's compensation, it's one third of the turnover, several hundred taels of silver. Several people can pool together. If it's not enough, we'll get scolded when we go back, but it will be sent anyway.
Ji Nanxian: "..."
You said you don't want to discriminate, but in the blink of an eye you double the amount?! Moreover, the traffic jam was only for a short while, and you paid one-third of the money. How can this be considered a scam?
But it's black, very good! I couldn't help but give it a thumbs up in my heart.
Ji Nanzheng looked at Wan Zhou like this, who was so cute even when she was a liar. Due to the situation, he couldn't smile, and he had to hold his mouth with great effort. His mind naturally recalled the past when they were still in the Duke's Mansion, when they had fought back and forth. He immediately liked her very much. If he hadn't been so restrained, he might really have been unable to resist hugging her in his arms.
Moreover, looking around, even if Wan Zhou cheated people in public, their eyes were full of praise. Some people even said directly: "It's what it deserves, it should be compensated."
Only then did he realize how important what he had done today was.
"Bai Lu, take the young lady back and be careful on the road." Ji Nanzheng ordered Bai Lu with the attitude of a host.
Bai Lu also looked like he was obeying Ji Nanzheng's orders. Together with Qiu Ge, they supported Wan Zhou and walked out of the passage.
"Fourth brother, why don't you send Fourth Sister-in-law back?" Ji Nanxian asked.
He met Ji Nanzheng halfway along the way and witnessed with his own eyes the famous scene of Ji Nanzheng protecting his wife so domineeringly. He silently developed a deep admiration for Ji Nanzheng in his heart.
Because, if it were him, there was no way he could lose his own face to support the other person.
But his fourth sister-in-law is indeed not an ordinary woman. Her appearance? Forget it, she is still the fourth sister-in-law, so let's not discuss her appearance.
The single personality suits him very well. No wonder the fourth brother can't forget him. If he doesn't miss him, Gu Wanzhou will really forget him.
Seeing that Ji Nanzheng had no intention of moving, Ji Nanxian knew that it was not that he didn't want to go, but that he didn't dare to go.
Haha, even the God of War General sometimes doesn’t dare.
Okay, very good.
"Fourth sister-in-law, wait for me..." Ji Nanxian ignored Ji Nanzheng and went out to chase Wan Zhou.
