Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again
Chapter 29 Seeking Justice for My Mother
"Impossible!? I counted them one by one for you, how could they make a mistake?" Yu's mother cried out in a low voice. She turned around and saw Qian Yuechu and the maid standing behind her, and asked anxiously, "Didn't you see it? Just tell me if they made a mistake?"
Qian Yuechu winked at her, and the maid said, "How could we see it? Do you think we have so much free time to stare at you?" She also deliberately muttered, "Don't pretend to be rich if you don't have money."
Shopkeeper Lin heard the noise and quickly came over, frowning: "What's going on?"
"Shopkeeper, this guest clearly only gave eighteen pieces of silver, but she insisted that she gave twenty."
Shopkeeper Lin was very unhappy when he saw that it was the woman who had just had a conflict with Qian Yuechu, but he still asked, "Waiter, could it be that you made a mistake? Can you look in the drawer to see if there is anything?"
The waiter quickly responded, "Boss, you know I'm always careful and I won't make a mistake. Besides, there's some small change from the past few days in the drawer, and it's unmarked. How can I find it for her?"
"Can you blame me if you can't find it? How can you lie to me like this? Do you think you can bully customers just because your store is big?"
Seeing Yu's mother throwing a tantrum, Manager Lin felt a headache and decided to keep things quiet: "Alright, two less is two less, just deduct it from my monthly salary. Sir, I will take you out first."
Who knew that Yu's mother would become even more angry after hearing this: "What do you mean by this? Aren't you saying that I didn't give you enough and you're looking for trouble? I'm telling you, I'm also a businessman, and doing business requires honesty and fairness! If you don't give me justice today, I won't leave!"
Other people in the store have been attracted over and are whispering. Most of them are regular customers of Cai Yixuan and know that Shopkeeper Lin has always been smooth but fair in his work.
They all agreed that it was this country woman who was being naughty. She looked stingy, and it was out of place for her to appear in such an expensive rouge shop.
Therefore, although they talked a lot, they were all accusing Yu's mother of being greedy, a scoundrel and doing such despicable things.
Wu Er, who was passing by the store entrance, spotted Yu's mother with his sharp eyes and quickly said to Fu Junyan, "Master, isn't this the wife of the in-laws and Miss Qian?"
Fu Junyan stopped to look over, frowned, and still walked over.
Shopkeeper Lin soon spotted Fu Junyan and hurriedly walked through the crowd to greet him, "Master Fu."
Hearing this, Qian Yuechu and Yu's mother looked over at the same time.
Before Yu's mother could say anything, Qian Yuechu came over with a look of surprise on her face: "Fu Lang."
Fu Lang?
Mother Yu frowned and looked at Fu Junyan. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping her, she swallowed the words "virtuous son-in-law" that were about to come to her lips.
"Fu Lang, why are you here?"
Qian Yuechu looked forward to it. Fu Junyan nodded, but did not respond to her as usual. He asked directly, "What's going on?"
Shopkeeper Lin quickly described the situation.
Fu Junyan thought for a moment, then turned to ask Yu's mother, "Is your change marked?"
Mother Yu glanced at Qian Yuechu and felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that she could not hide the admiration in her eyes and was staring at Fu Junyan.
But he quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and replied, "Mark? Oh, yes, every time I receive a piece of silver, I will take a bite to verify its authenticity. There should be my teeth marks on it."
After hearing this, the crowd began to make noises of disgust.
"Tsk tsk, she is really petty. Does she think that everyone is like her, so immoral?"
"Take a bite of each one? Wouldn't her saliva be all over them? How disgusting would that be?"
"Looking at her stingy look, she must be trying to take advantage of me."
Hearing these words, Yu's mother began to feel embarrassed. She secretly looked at Fu Junyan, but unexpectedly he looked calm and had no grudges. She felt relieved a little.
Fu Junyan really didn't mind, and just said, "Please ask Manager Lin to sort through all the small change in the cabinet and pick out those with tooth marks."
Then he lowered his head and whispered something to Wu Er, who took his orders and left.
When Wu Er went out, he unexpectedly ran into A Bu who was looking for Yu's mother on the street.
It turned out that Lin Zhuwei was worried about her mother, so she asked A Bu to go out and look for her.
Seeing Wu Er's hurried footsteps, A Bu asked, "Manager Wu, what's the hurry?"
"Miss Abu, it's great to see you."
Wu Er hurriedly told A Bu what happened in Cai Yi Xuan. After listening, A Bu immediately said goodbye and turned around and ran back.
Let’s talk about Cai Yixuan again.
Although Shopkeeper Lin did not want to get involved, he saw that Yu's mother was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and thought that if he didn't give an explanation, the matter would be difficult to resolve, so he told the waiter to do so.
There weren't many pieces of silver with tooth marks on them. There were only seven pieces.
"Master Fu, we have chosen everything. What do you think we should do?"
Fu Junyan nodded and said, "Please ask the shopkeeper to bring some charcoal and paper to make rubbings of these teeth marks."
Just cover the paper on the broken silver, and then use charcoal wood to lightly trace the tooth imprint on the paper, and the tooth imprint will naturally fall on the paper.
The waiter quickly followed the instructions and soon the teeth marks on the seven pieces of silver were all made.
At this moment, Wu Er had already returned. He handed the fruit he bought to Yu's mother.
Fu Junyan explained: "You bite the fruit the same way you normally bite silver."
Yu's mother did as she was told.
Fu Junyan asked the waiter to take a rubbing of the teeth marks on the fruit.
Afterwards, he asked Manager Lin to compare the teeth marks on the broken silver with those on the broken silver, and he actually picked out the two pieces of broken silver that Yu's mother had pointed out.
"This..." Shopkeeper Lin was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help looking at the waiter. The waiter also looked confused.
"Look! Aren't these teeth marks mine?" Yu's mother instantly regained her composure, "It's clearly the store owner bullying me!"
The onlookers began to whisper.
Someone was dissatisfied and said, "The tooth marks on the broken silver are so small that it is inevitable that there will be mistakes when making rubbings."
Someone began to agree: "Yes, this is not enough evidence."
Mother Yu was so angry that her face turned blue. She pointed at Qian Yuechu and said angrily, "When I was counting the silver, they were right behind me and saw it clearly. Why can you lie with your eyes open?"
Fu Junyan looked at Qian Yuechu.
Qian Yuechu didn't expect that Fu Junyan didn't speak up to defend her as he did before. Instead, he looked at her quietly, as if waiting for her response.
She was a little flustered, but calmed herself down: "Why should I stare at your change? Besides, you were so unreasonable when I bought your rouge just now. Are you going to put the blame on me now?"
Fu Junyan's eyes changed imperceptibly. Qian Yuechu's fleeting panic was fully captured by him.
Xiaodie immediately took over the conversation: "Yes! You are too arrogant, woman. My young lady has already given up on you, so don't push your luck. If I really want to keep your change, and you lose your money when you go out, won't you blame me and say that I stole it?"
Listening to their conversation, Shopkeeper Lin was secretly delighted. After all, he didn't want to be accused of hiding the guest's money, so he deliberately said generously: "Forget it, forget it, just consider this money as this guest's. We were negligent, so we will settle it for you now."
But Yu's mother refused to do it!
"What do you mean it's mine? This is mine! From your tone, do you still think it's my fault?"
She looked at Fu Junyan: "Xian... Young Master, do you think there is any other solution?"
The word "good son-in-law" just rolled around on the tip of her tongue before Yu's mother took it back in time. The current situation was definitely not a good time to recognize her relatives.
Fu Junyan thought for a while, asked the waiter and Yu's mother some questions, and then said, "Please ask Manager Lin to fetch a plate of clean water."
Everyone was confused and stretched their necks to see what Fu Junyan was going to do.
Under those gossipy looks, Shopkeeper Lin had no choice but to do as he was told no matter how unwilling he was.
Clean water soon arrived.
Fu Junyan ordered the waiter to put the seven pieces of silver into the water one by one, observed them for a while, and then fished them out.
When the last two pieces of silver were put down, a layer of oil appeared on the water. They were the two pieces of silver that had been imprinted with the teeth marks.
"Shopkeeper Lin, this change is indeed from this guest." Fu Junyan said calmly.
"why?"
Not only was Shopkeeper Lin confused, even the onlookers were confused.
Fu Junyan explained, "Just now this guest said that her family is a butcher, and the small change they collect is inevitably stained with oil. But the waiter said that their guests recently are all people from high-ranking mansions with some status, so how could they carry such small change on them?"
He glanced at everyone and continued, "The oil stains on the broken silver will easily float in the water, just as everyone has seen just now. Wu Er, go get another bowl of clean water."
Wu Er took the order and quickly did as he was told.
"Does anyone have small change? You can put it in some clean water and try."
As soon as Fu Junyan finished speaking, someone volunteered to take the silver coins and throw them down. Several people threw silver coins in succession, and there was indeed no oil stain.
"Throw down the small change you have on you and see."
This sentence was said to Yu's mother.
She did as she was told. As expected, the silver coins she threw away were all covered in oil stains.
The truth speaks for itself.
Shopkeeper Lin was ashamed. He glared at the waiter and quickly apologized: "Sir, we were negligent. Look, the rouge you bought today is half price. This is my apology, okay?"
Yu's mother got justice back, so she didn't argue with him and nodded.
When everyone saw that the problem was solved, they dispersed.
But Fu Junyan could not have imagined that the whole scene just now was seen by Lin Zhuwei.
