I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

The housekeeper staggered to Wen Shutang, bowed his head and apologized repeatedly: "Madam Wen, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows but did not say anything, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

When the housekeeper saw that Wen Shutang did not respond, he suddenly didn't know what to say and could only stand there stiffly.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jinshi immediately stepped forward and bowed to Wen Shutang, his tone somewhat flattering.

"Madam Wen, I've come here in person to apologize, so there's no need to tell Young Master Song about this little thing, right? After all, we can't bother Young Master Song just by trying."

Hearing this, Wen Shutang laughed and looked at Lu Jinshi without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"I understand the way your Lu family disciplines its servants. I was lucky to have run into you this time. If I were just an ordinary family, wouldn't I have been bullied by you and made nothing?"

Lu Jinshi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, with a rather flattering tone: "Yes, yes, young lady, you are right. I was negligent in this matter, and I will definitely not make the same mistake again next time. Madam Wen, please forgive me for the fact that I was also deceived by the housekeeper."

"I have no say in this matter. After all, it happened in my eldest brother's store. It depends on the attitudes of my two brothers." Wen Shutang did not continue to follow Lu Jinshi's words. Instead, he looked up at Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi who were standing beside him and raised his chin at them. His meaning was very clear.

Lu Jinshi immediately understood what Wen Shutang meant and quickly turned around to lobby Wen Ruizhou.

The way he nodded and bowed, he didn't look like a wealthy man at all.

"Manager Wen, what do you think about this matter? If you are not satisfied, I will send this butler away and sell him off, and let you do whatever you want with him. How about that?"

After hearing Lu Jinshi's words, before Wen Ruizhou could say anything, the butler beside him widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Master! Think twice. I have been in the Lu family for so many years. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. How can you treat me like this?"

Lu Jinshi turned around and looked at him with disgust, without any lingering feelings or softness, and said coldly.

"It's fine that you use my name to bully others in the mansion, but now you have caused me so much trouble. I am lucky that I didn't beat you to death. While Shopkeeper Wen has not made a decision yet, you might as well go and beg him. If Shopkeeper Wen is willing to forgive you, then I can forgive you once."

The meaning of his words was very clear, he wanted the housekeeper to go and plead with Wen Ruizhou.

The housekeeper immediately understood what Lu Jinshi meant. He knelt down in front of Wen Ruizhou and cried with tears and snot.

"Manager Wen, please forgive me this time. I really know I was wrong and I will never do it again. I have parents and children to take care of, and they all rely on their monthly salary to survive. Please have mercy on me and forgive me."

He was in tears and no longer had the arrogant look he had when he first came to the store.

Wen Ruizhou had never seen such a big scene before. He was shocked and immediately reached out to help the housekeeper up.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and don't kneel to me."

"Brother, he deserves it for looking down on others. Why do you care about him?" Wen Yaoshi curled his lips in disdain, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay any attention to the housekeeper at all.

After hearing what Wen Yaoshi said, the butler insisted on kneeling on the ground, shouting that he would not get up if Wen Ruizhou did not forgive him, and even kowtowed to Wen Ruizhou and Wen Yaoshi.

Seeing him like this, even Wen Yaoshi, who was originally a little angry, was stunned and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

"Alright, alright, get up quickly. We brothers won't pursue this matter any further." Wen Ruizhou couldn't help but speak first.

Wen Yaoshi also nodded reluctantly: "Hurry up, or it will seem like we are being aggressive."

Both brothers were honest and decent people. Even though they had been treated unfairly before, they couldn't help but soften their hearts when they saw someone pleading for mercy.

Wen Shutang smiled faintly. She knew that her two brothers were kind-hearted and would not pursue the matter. But she still chose to leave the decision to them.

This would also be a good way to punish the housekeeper who looked down on others. She hated those fence-sitters who would go with the flow the most.

When the butler heard Wen Ruizhou say that he forgave him, he immediately burst into tears of gratitude and wanted to kowtow to the two of them to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, both shopkeepers, for being so magnanimous and not holding a grudge against me. Thank you very much."

"Stop, don't kowtow. We are ordinary people and cannot accept your great gift." Wen Ruizhou quickly spoke up to stop him.

The butler then nodded, stood up and retreated behind Lu Jinshi, not daring to speak nonsense again.

Seeing this, Lu Jinshi also laughed and quickly bent down and said.

"Shopkeeper Wen is really kind-hearted. With such a magnanimous character, he will surely achieve great things in the future. I am sorry for what happened today. I will have someone send ten taels of silver to you later. It is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and carefully looked at Wen Shutang's expression. "Madam Wen, what do you think of my decision?"

"It's okay. I don't want it to happen again next time." Wen Shutang nodded slightly.

After watching such a big drama, she felt even more disgusted with people like Lu Jinshi.

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Lu Jinshi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there will definitely not be a next time, I promise."

Wen Shutang didn't say anything else. He turned and walked into the small room inside to carefully admire his plaque.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jinshi guessed that everything was fine and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Ruizhou stood aside, frowning and slowly speaking: "Mr. Lu, this cabinet is only worth five taels of silver. I won't take anything more. My two brothers earn money with conscience. Let's put it one way and one way. We don't need ten taels of silver."

When Lu Jinshi heard this, he was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Wen Ruizhou to say such a thing. He naturally didn't want to spend more money, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

"Manager Wen is very generous. I will have someone send five taels of silver over later."

Wen Ruizhou nodded and said nothing more, but Wen Yaoshi looked a little unhappy.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye." After saying goodbye to the two, Lu Jinshi left the store with the butler.

After watching them leave, Wen Yaoshi said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother, why did you refuse? That's ten taels of silver! We can't even earn that much in a year, and you just refused it like that?"

"Ayao, I told you, we make money with conscience. You know this cabinet is only worth five taels." Wen Ruizhou said without raising his head.

Wen Yaoshi curled his lips when he saw this, knowing that his elder brother was notoriously stubborn, so he said nothing more.

Wen Shutang, who was in the room, naturally heard the conversation between his two brothers and couldn't help but smile.

Her elder brother is really kind and honest.
