Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Concubine Wen looked at the old man and said, "Uncle Wang, I miss you because you are a distant relative of my mother. I always ask someone to look for you when I buy flowers. Do you know this?"

The dry old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he almost smiled like a raisin: "Yes, I am very grateful to Concubine Wen for taking care of me."

He was an old man who grew flowers. Once when he was helping to supply flowers to the palace, he accidentally met Miss Wen, whom he had met when he was a child.

Miss Wen was very happy to see him. After she found out what happened, she asked him to leave his address. After that, she often bought flowers from him.

Since selling flowers to the palace, Old Man Wang's business has gradually improved. Now he has his own flower garden. Many wealthy families in the capital buy flowers from him.

"Then tell me, what's going on with these flowers?" She pointed at the blooming camellias in annoyance.

"Ah? This..." Old Man Wang was stunned.

Isn’t this an ordinary camellia?

Puzzled, he asked, "Miss Wen, how come you have..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he heard thumps and the two girls beside him knelt on the ground: "Dad, it's our fault!"

Old man Wang was even more confused.

Concubine Wen looked at the scene in front of her. What was there that she didn't understand?

She asked her servants to go to Old Man Wang to buy flowers. Old Man Wang was not at home at the time, so his two daughters sold cheap camellias and tricked her servants into saying they were orchids.

Orchids are rare in the market and are ridiculously expensive. People who have orchids at home treat them like treasures and rarely show them to others. It is said that orchids are difficult to grow and most of them die soon after they are brought home.

This also led to people in the capital city's yearning for orchids.

When Concubine Wen heard that it was an orchid, she was ecstatic. The other party asked for a hundred taels, but she still felt that it was too little, so she gave fifty more taels.

Seeing the orchid that she had watered herself gradually blooming, Concubine Wen was very happy.

She really wanted to tell others that she had successfully grown orchids! She was the first person in Beijing!

I never expected that this was not an orchid!

When Old Man Wang learned the truth, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

In front of Concubine Wen, he slapped each of his two daughters twice: "You beasts! Who came up with this dirty trick? Concubine Wen has been so kind to us, and this is how you repay her?"

Concubine Wen did not stop her.

The two girls are behaving so recklessly, and Old Man Wang won't be able to get away with it if he doesn't discipline them enough.

Yun Xi leaned close to Concubine Wen's ear and whispered a few words softly.

Concubine Wen nodded, and after a while, she said, "I gave a total of 150 taels, and I'll have to trouble you to return the money to me, Uncle Wang."

Old man Wang paused, then kicked his daughter over. "Bitch! How dare you ask for so much money without telling me? Where's the money? Take it out now!"

The two girls' faces were covered with tears and snot, and they cried like two tearful people:

"Dad, all the money was given to Mom!"

"Dad, it was Mom who asked us to ask for so much money!"

"Dad, it was Mom who asked us to do this!"

The two daughters betrayed their mother one after another.

Old Man Wang's face was as hot as if it had been roasted by fire, and he was extremely hot. "Your mother told you to do it, so you did it? If she told you to die, would you go too?"

He knew his wife was unreliable, but he didn't expect her to be so reckless! She even dared to cheat the concubines in the palace!

Yun Xi saw that Concubine Wen's face turned pale, so she said, "What's wrong with making so much noise? This is not a place for you to make a scene. If you want to teach your daughter a lesson, please go home. Don't pollute Concubine Wen's place!"

Old man Wang blushed and knelt down and kowtowed: "I'm sorry, Concubine Wen! I will take them home right now and bring the money back to you later."

"Dad, camellias also cost money." One of the daughters suddenly said, "Concubine Wen, my dad will return the money for the orchids to you, but you have to give me the money for the camellias, right?"

There was a flash of disdain in the girl's eyes.

Why plant flowers if you don't even know camellia? You deserve to be fooled by them!

Concubine Wen was so angry that she was shaking: "You are lying and you think you are justified?"

Seeing that his daughter was still making trouble, Old Man Wang raised his hand and slapped her: "Shut up!"

The girl stared at the slap marks on her face and raised her head proudly: "I didn't lie. I also thought it was an orchid at that time. We made a mistake. Besides, you didn't tell me after you got it."

Another girl immediately looked up and said, "Concubine Wen, when we gave the flowers to your servants, they were not in full bloom. Can you guarantee that these are the ones?"

Concubine Wen's head was buzzing.

She didn't expect that the distant relative whom she helped with good intentions would actually cheat her like this!

"Mammy, there are records of the flowers in and out of the yard, right?" Yun Xi asked from the side.

The nanny, who was so angry that she was grappling with her handkerchief, paused after hearing this, and immediately nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, everything in and out of the palace must be recorded. To facilitate recording, every time a flower enters the palace, I will give it a number and stick it next to the flower pot."

Her eyes became brighter and brighter: "It's also recorded in the booklet. Where did you buy it, when did you buy it, the serial number, how much it cost, its specific appearance, the appearance of the basin..."

Yun Xi smiled and looked at Old Man Wang: "Uncle Wang, in this case, why don't you also bring over the record of the flowers you sold to our Concubine Wen?"

She can guarantee that this is definitely not the first time she has sold fake orchids.

Otherwise they wouldn't have dared to be so bold and directly ask for a hundred taels.

Of course, Old Man Wang nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, I will go home and bring the book to Concubine Wen for verification."

"Dad, if she says to check, then we should check it? Then if she says it's wrong then it's not right?" the old man's daughter shouted unhappily.

"How dare you!" Yun Xi stepped forward and slapped the girl a few times: "How dare you be so disrespectful in front of me! You are courting death!"

The girl covered her face and looked at Yun Xi angrily: "I'm telling the truth, what's wrong?"

Old man Wang smiled awkwardly and looked at Yun Xi, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Madam, my daughter is young and straightforward, please don't bother with her."

This lady came out of nowhere. Her daughter didn't offend her at all. Why did she hit her daughter?

"Okay! Then let's check the accounts!" Yun Xi sneered, "Bring in all the accounts with Concubine Wen for checking."

The nanny nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry. We keep the accounts truthfully. We also keep the sheets with your signature."

Old Man Wang's eyes darkened, and he looked at Concubine Wen: "Miss Wen, we are distant relatives. Your mother died young, and it's too late for me to help you."

Concubine Wen nodded: "I know."

The old man had indeed been helping her. As long as she asked for a certain kind of flower, Old Man Wang would find ways to help her find it.

Old Man Wang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yun Xi: "What happened between Concubine Wen and me is a family matter. Outsiders should not interfere, okay?"
