Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 17
Lan Xi's words directly hit Tong Zhimeng's lungs, and the angry Tong Zhimeng was about to yell at him without thinking about his face. Over there, the boy who led the way hurried upstairs, walked up to Lan Xi, and said yes Someone from the general's mansion asked the two wives to return to the mansion quickly.

As soon as they entered the gate of the mansion, the servant girl in the mansion saw Lan Xi and Han Sirou and looked away, and Chunmei who was beside the old lady saw Lan Xi and Han Sirou came back and stepped forward to meet them, "Old lady can't wait." Don't worry, the two ladies will come with me."

Han Sirou asked, "What happened in the mansion?"

Chunmei sighed, "You'll know when you go."

When we arrived at the old lady's yard, the people kneeling in the yard were all the clerks of the gold jewelry shop. The old lady raised her eyebrows when she saw Lan Xi and Han Sirou in the main hall, and directly put the pair of bracelets on the table Throw it directly to Han Siruan and Lan Xi's feet.

Han Sirou picked up the bracelet and took a look in her hand, "Mother, what does this mean?"

"You have the nerve to ask about the good things you have done?" Mrs. Chu was so angry that she pointed at Lan Xi: "You too, you know that Silou just returned to Beijing, and you let Silou take charge of the business when you are not familiar with anything. "

"Mother, Mrs. Han has been in charge of the house for almost three months. I see that the house is well-organized up and down, and nothing has gone wrong." Lan Xi didn't wait for Mrs. Chu to speak, and directly found a chair to sit on. Next, Mrs. Chu didn't say anything when she handed over the government's official donation, but now if something goes wrong, put the blame on her?

"No mistakes? Today, someone from the Duke's Mansion sent this pair of bracelets, and the gold was adulterated. If it wasn't for the Duke's Mansion looking at the old general, the pair of bracelets are already in the yamen now. .”

Han Sirou was so frightened that she remembered what the shopkeeper in charge of the second floor of the Nishang Building said. The wife of the Duke's Mansion hurried back to the house halfway and hurriedly opened her mouth to defend: "Mother, it's none of my business. How do I know that the gold is mixed with gold?" It’s fake, Shopkeeper Qian, it must be Shopkeeper Qian.”

"Don't you know that Shopkeeper Qian asked for leave yesterday and went home."

"I, I," Han Sirou remembered that there was such a thing, but how could she know that such a thing would happen.

Seeing Han Sirou's stunned look, Mrs. Chu burst into anger: "Let you run the house, and you forgot all the people in the shop asked for leave to go home? What house do you think you're in charge of?"

After Madam Chu finished speaking, she said to Lan Xi: "Fortunately, the person who bought this pair of bracelets is the wife of the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion. You go down and prepare a gift, and go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to apologize in person."

Lan Xi looked at Mrs. Chu's domineering manner, and felt amused in her heart: "Mother, this is not true. Mrs. Han's going is more convincing than mine. After all, everyone in the capital knows that the general's mansion is now in charge. Mrs. Han, if I were Mrs. Han, apart from thinking about how to appease her anger when I went to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, shouldn't I immediately find out how many pieces of jewelry the shop has sold in the past few months."

"What do you mean by that?" Madam Chu looked at Lan Xi with disbelief. She knew very well what kind of temper Lan Xi had, yet he dared to contradict her today.

"My mother also said that the Duke's Mansion sent the bracelet to the General's Mansion because of the old general's face. If someone else bought the adulterated jewelry, do you think they would report it to the official? It's not only the reputation of the general's mansion is damaged, but the general's face in the hall is going to that pavilion."
