Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 482: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (4)

The shopkeeper hurriedly said while putting on his clothes: "Boss..."

Being caught in bed with someone in the shop, he had no way of defending himself and could only vent his anger on the waiter: "Didn't I tell you to watch from below!?"

Fu Huaiying said coldly, "What? You raped a woman in my shop and you blame others for not covering for you?"

She shouted sternly, "Hongxiu! Report to the police!"

Hongxiu was about to go down immediately after receiving the order.

When the shopkeeper heard that they were going to report it to the police, he hurriedly said, "Wait! Don't report it to the police! Don't report it to the police! Madam, Madam Hou——"

"No, it's not a traitor... We, we just couldn't control our emotions for a moment..."

"Can't control my emotions?"

Fu Huaiying looked at the woman who had woken up, a mocking sneer on his face. "I think this has happened more than once. Ziyuan, you are a second-class maid in my mother's courtyard. When you are not working in the mansion, you actually come to Tianxiang Pavilion to hang out with others?"

"And you."

Fu Huaiying looked at the shopkeeper: "I remember you are my mother's nephew."

"Could it be that you two were allowed to do this by your mother?"

Zi Yuan's face had turned pale.

"No! Madam! This servant..."

Fu Huaiying interrupted her: "No matter what, you two can't be here under duress, right?"

"No wonder Tianxiang Pavilion, despite being a large shop in a prime location, suffers losses year after year. It seems the owner hasn't focused on running the business, but instead treats it as a haven for incest."

"I will tell my mother the truth about this."

"And you, you don't have to be the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion anymore."

Both of them collapsed to the ground.

Of course, they couldn't have been tacitly approved by the mistress.

Especially Ziyuan.

She was completely disheartened at this moment.

Fu Huaiying did not give the two of them any room to maneuver and quickly went to the Fu Mansion to report the matter to his stepmother.

...

Fu Huaiying's stepmother Yan Binghua looked very unhappy after hearing this.

Zi Yuan and Yan Yang had been dragged to the yard by Fu Huaiying.

Seeing the two of them looking dejected and disheveled, Yan Binghua knew that Fu Huaiying had not lied to her and that the two had been caught in bed.

Idiot! Idiot!

Yan Binghua was holding back her immense anger, but at this moment Yan Yang was still begging for mercy from her without knowing the consequences.

"Aunt! Aunt! I didn't mean to do that. It was all Ziyuan who seduced me—"

An incredible look appeared on Ziyuan's face.

"you you--"

Yan Binghua was afraid that Zi Yuan would say something inappropriate, so he quickly clapped his hands and said, "Come here! Drag this lowly slave who has tarnished the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion away and beat him to death with sticks!"

Before Ziyuan could say anything, the nanny blocked her mouth with something.

She struggled and looked at Yan Binghua on the high seat, her eyes full of despair.

Fu Huaiying said calmly, "Even if I tempt you, you have to be willing to take the bait. How can the fault be entirely on Ziyuan?"

Without waiting for Yan Yang to speak, Fu Huaiying continued, "Mother, you've seen that Tianxiang Pavilion has been losing money every year in recent years. The reason is precisely the misconduct of the shopkeeper."

"Since Tianxiang Pavilion was a dowry shop gifted to me by my mother and father, and the owner is my mother's cousin, I will not pursue responsibility for the losses."

Yan Binghua looked at Fu Huaiying, her eyes full of cold inquiry.

Yan Binghua said in a cold tone: "This matter is indeed due to the incompetence of Yan Yang as the shopkeeper. If that's the case, we can just change the shopkeeper."

Looks like this matter is just going to be over? Only one Ziyuan was dealt with.

Why did Zi Yuan dare to hang out with Yan Yang in Tianxiang Pavilion? I'm afraid there is a lot of story behind it.

Fu Huaiying concealed the deep meaning in her eyes and said gently, "Since it's a dowry shop, how can I let my mother worry about it for me? Ever since I married into the Marquis' Mansion, I know how difficult it is to manage this family. My mother has to worry about her own affairs and manage the shop for her daughter. It's really hard work."

"And the indentures of the maids who came with the dowry, mother, why don't you give them to me as well?"

"If Hongxiu and Hongling also have a man they love like Ziyuan, I can help them find a marriage."

Fu Huaiying showed a subtle smile, but it was unmistakable.

Yan Binghua didn't expect that after not seeing Fu Huaiying for a while, he became so eloquent.

In the past, when Fu Huaiying returned to the Fu Mansion, he always answered whatever she asked.

She had never been like today before, she was so blocked by words that she couldn't refute a single word.

But today Fu Huaiying didn't let her speak, and kept saying:

"I blame you for not paying attention before and always letting you run the shop for me. With so many things going on in the mansion, it's normal for you to not be able to take care of your daughter's dowry shop for a while."

"If father knew about this, I would definitely plead for mother. This is Manager Yan's responsibility alone and has nothing to do with mother."

Yan Binghua showed a faint sneer.

This damn girl actually threatened her?

She is just a concubine's daughter. If her Shu Yue hadn't been unlucky, how could she have become the wife of the Marquis?

Do you really think you are the master?

...

Yan Binghua, who was being roasted on the fire, could only hand over the indentures of the maids who came with her as a dowry to Fu Huaiying one by one.

After Fu Huaiying left, Yan Binghua was so angry that she smashed a set of tea sets.

Yan Yang, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, was so frightened by her anger that he dared not even look at her.

"idiot!"

Yan Binghua pointed at Yan Yang's head and was furious: "Even a pig is three points smarter than you!"

They had sneaked into the shop on the second floor! It was broad daylight, in the afternoon! There was only one waiter watching downstairs.

"Cousin, aunt, I was wrong, I was really wrong... I, I didn't know that the Marquis's wife would come to the store today..."

"Don't call me cousin! Don't call her Marquis's wife!"

Yan Binghua was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and her chest heaved up and down.

She asked Ziyuan to go out and keep an eye on the dowry shops for Fu Huaiying, but who knew that she would get together with Yan Yang, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion!

Now, even Hongling’s indenture contract is in Fu Huaiying’s hands.

"Madam, please calm down." The personal nanny brought a cup of warm tea. "Hongling has been a member of our courtyard since she was a child. She won't turn against us so easily. Besides, Hongling is not stupid. Why would she tell the Second Young Lady about what she did?"

Yan Binghua sat back in the soft chair, watching the servants clean up the mess on the floor, muttering, "But I always feel that the girl is not the same as before..."

Or maybe, Fu Huaiying was just hiding his incompetence in the past?

"It must be that the status of Marquis's wife over the years has fueled the Second Young Lady's ambition."

Que Mei, the personal maid standing by and fanning Yan Binghua, said, "The Madam treated her well in the past. If it were any other mistress, there would be no chance for the concubine's son or daughter to survive."

Quemei was indignant: "You flew up to the tree and turned into a phoenix, but you forgot that this was a favor from the mistress and the master."

Yan Binghua's expression gradually changed from anger to sadness.

Quemei knew that the lady was missing the eldest daughter.
