After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Li Qingyao frowned and looked at Chu Huanyan with an unkind look, "What do you mean?"

The latter looked embarrassed and said, "Ms. Li, this one really cannot be burned."

"Why can't it be burned?"

"This..." Chu Huanyan looked at Li Qingyao with a hesitant expression and did not answer for a moment.

Li Qingyao's face turned even uglier. Thinking that Chu Huanyan was deliberately teasing her, she reached out and pulled off the dress and threw it directly into the brazier.

However, to everyone's surprise, the dress did not burn after being thrown into the brazier...

"What's going on?" the people watching asked curiously.

Li Qingyao also looked puzzled.

Chu Huanyan picked up the dress in the brazier and sighed in embarrassment, "Miss Li, I didn't mean to stop you just now. It's just that this dress is mixed with fire-resistant cloth and uses special technology to prevent fire. "

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Li Qingyao said angrily.

"This..." Chu Huanyan pretended to be embarrassed and looked at the crowd before replying, "Just now, Miss Li, you said you were proficient in clothing materials, but you couldn't even tell the difference between Huo Huanbu and I was afraid that I would offend you if I told you. face."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching suddenly started talking quietly.

"What's so proficient? It seems like it's just a lie."

"Who says it's not the case? Those who dislike this or that end up not understanding anything!"

The people were crowded together, and they couldn't tell who was talking for a while, but the discussion still spread into the shop. Li Qingyao's face turned red, and she immediately looked at Xiao Jinzhi aggrievedly, "Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to offend you."

Chu Huanyan immediately knelt down and deliberately emphasized the word "courtesan".

After all, she was also the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and she had already knelt down. At this level, even Xiao Jinzhi had no reason to find fault.

Sure enough, the comments among the people watching turned to "It's really not easy for Miss Chu", "It's the Hou Mansion after all" and the like.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan who was kneeling in front of him, still with a smile on her face, "Miss Chu has decided, what will I do to you?"

"I don't dare." Chu Huanyan lowered her head, "It's all my fault for being careless. I don't know that Miss Li can't tell the difference clearly and asked someone to bring out the Huo Huanbu piece."

Xiao Jinzhi stared at Chu Huanyan and sneered, "I would like to ask Miss Chu if she only took one piece, or...are these all from Huo Huanbu?"

Chu Huanyan raised her head, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it... Shopkeeper Wang, burn another one."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Wang responded quickly, took a random dress and threw it into the brazier. After it touched the charcoal fire, the dress quickly started to burn.

"Can your Highness believe it now?" Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi.

When their eyes met, Xiao Jinzhi's peach blossom eyes looked innocent and playful, but the depths of his eyes seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, making them bottomless.

After a while, he looked away and said, "That's all. It seems that Gu has misunderstood. Don't blame Miss Chu."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is serious." Chu Huanyan paused slightly and looked at the dresses, "Then, did His Highness continue to watch these dresses burn, or did I have someone deal with them?"

Xiao Jinzhi stood up lazily and walked out without interest, "It's boring, Miss Chu, feel free to do whatever you want."

"Your Highness..." Li Qingyao was a little unhappy.

"Good boy, the fever is gone. I'll take you somewhere else to have fun." Xiao Jinzhi coaxed, but his tone was unreasonable.

Seeing this, Li Qingyao could only follow reluctantly.

Seeing Xiao Jinzhi about to leave the shop, Chu Huanyan immediately said: "Shopkeeper Wang, hurry up and settle the bill for His Highness the Crown Prince. You must not waste His Highness's time."

Xiao Jinzhi stopped and glanced at Chu Huanyan, "Is Miss Chu afraid of being left alone?"

"What did His Highness say? How could you default on your debt?" Chu Huanyan said with a raised lip.

Once the money is given, it is business.

Otherwise, if word spreads, even if the reputation of Zhiyunxuan's clothes is preserved, there is a high probability that someone will fall into the trap of being a flatterer and trying to gain a reputation as a runaway concubine.

Xiao Jinzhi just looked at Chu Huanyan, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Don't worry, although Gu has no morals, he will never disappoint a beauty, especially... a beauty like Miss Chu. .”

After speaking, he motioned to the guard following him to pay the bill.

While the payment was being made, Chu Huanyan ordered Xian Yue and the shop assistants to use scissors to cut off the remaining dresses. She publicly stated that these dresses that had been bought by His Highness the Crown Prince would never be sold again. , so as not to leave people with a reason to spread rumors.

When Xiao Jinzhi saw this, he laughed indifferently, but before leaving, he glanced at Shopkeeper Wang's sleeves with unknown meaning.

After Xiao Jinzhi and the others left, and the people who were watching dispersed, Zhiyunxuan announced that it would be closed for a long time, and closed the shop, Xian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, I scared this slave to death just now."

"Yes, thank you to the eldest lady for handling it well." Shopkeeper Wang also spoke quickly.

In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince would not be offended, and everyone would know that Miss Li was ignorant, and it would not affect the reputation of their shop.

Also, this batch of clothes mixed with fire-resistant cloth was a failed attempt. Although it was indeed fire-proof in a short period of time, the comfort of the upper body was not enough, and the cost was still high, so the eldest lady ordered people to store it in the warehouse. , and will be processed later. With today's performance, it can be regarded as a return of money!

After listening to what Shopkeeper Wang said, Xianyue finally understood, but then asked: "Since they are all fire cloth, why did the one that Shopkeeper Wang took burn all of a sudden."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and took out an empty paper bag from his sleeve, "According to the eldest lady's instructions, I hid phosphorus powder and charcoal powder in advance to aid combustion, and when I just took the dress, I sprinkled it quietly."

"So that's it!" Xian Yue suddenly realized, "Miss, you are so powerful. You fooled everyone with this trick."

Have you been fooled? Chu Huanyan remembered the look in Xiao Jinzhi's eyes when he left just now, and said softly: "I'm afraid not."

"Miss, what did you say?" Xianyue didn't hear clearly.

"nothing."

Chu Huanyan shook her head and told Xian Yue to go out and wait.

Seeing Shopkeeper Wang safe and sound in front of her, Chu Huanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shopkeeper Wang, if you encounter something like this again in the future, remember to put your own safety and that of your colleagues first, no matter what, never confront anyone head-on."

"But if the clothes are really burned..."

"No matter the clothes or the shop, they are not as important as your lives." Chu Huanyan said seriously.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Chu Huanyan, felt moved in his heart, and nodded quickly in response.

Seeing that shopkeeper Wang agreed, Chu Huanyan continued.

"One more thing, next I plan to sell Zhiyunxuan."
