Xiao Yu came to the shop in the front yard and cautiously said to Mrs. Zhang: "Madam, there is only one basket of strawberries left today. The shopkeeper said there will be more strawberries tomorrow. Otherwise, you can buy a basket today and tomorrow..."
Only one basket left?
How to divide it?
When the maid saw her master frowning, she immediately took a step forward and raised her hand with a slap, catching Xiaoyu off guard.
"Do you know who our wife is? How dare you be so negligent!"
Xiaoyu was beaten until tears welled up in her eyes, but due to the identity of the other party, she could only endure it.
Wen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly after listening to An Yi's report. Zhang was so uncontrollable.
She walked quickly to the shop.
Xiaoyu covered the face that was beaten and kept apologizing.
"Hmph, if you can't bring out two baskets of strawberries today, you won't have to open your shop."
"What a loud tone!" Wen Xi walked to Xiao Yu and pulled her behind him.
Looking at her already red and swollen face, her eyes couldn't help but darken.
"You hit me." It was not a question. Wen Xi walked straight to the maid without even looking at Mrs. Zhang.
"So what, she is disrespectful to my wife."
The maid raised her chin, looking arrogant as if she was the mayor's wife.
Oh, as expected, the servants raised by the Liu family are all virtuous.
She couldn't help but think of the maid next to Peacock that day at the Silver House, who was also so annoying.
"In that case..." Wen Xi raised his hand and slapped the maid who just spoke hard on the face.
The maid was beaten to the ground, her face visibly swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
You must know that Wen Xi's hand strength is stronger than that of men. This slap did not knock out the teeth, so she was merciful.
"He's just a servant, but he dares to hurt my people in my shop!"
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, as if she had touched something dirty.
When Yami saw her action, he quickly took the handkerchief and threw it away.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned on the sidelines. Ever since she became the first wife, no one had ever treated her so badly.
Now I have suffered such a big loss from a girl, and there are so many people watching outside.
How could she swallow this breath?
If I don't do something today and let a little girl bully me, will I still have a foothold in this town? .
"Do you know what you are doing?" Mrs. Zhang walked up to Wen Xi and said angrily: "You're tired of living, aren't you!"
"Madam, is this how you restrain your servants? You commit murder openly in someone else's shop. I also want to ask you, do you know what you are doing?" Wen Xi snorted coldly: "It's still you Do you think you can bully the people at will just because you are the mayor’s wife?”
From the day Liu Yanxi sent people to make trouble in her shop, they had already faced each other face to face. The neighbors all knew what happened that day. If they were still trying to please Mr. Zhang in every possible way, how could they still do it? I don't know how I will be laughed at.
It will also make people think that she is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others.
She is just a mayor. Don't forget that she just helped the King of War so much. An Yi is also protecting her. She has such a big backer as the King of War, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
"You!" Mrs. Zhang was born in a small family and didn't have much money in her stomach. She knew the tricks used by the women in the backyard to compete for favor, but when it came time to argue with others, she was defeated.
"If you offend me, you will offend Liu Mansion. You are a small businessman. Maybe you don't want to hang out in this town!"
"It seems that I was right. Madam just wants to use Mayor Liu to bully the people. She does this kind of thing so skillfully, she must do it often! Even a small servant in the mayor's house Dare to hit people at will, I really don't know how arrogant and domineering the mayor and the mayor's wife are on weekdays." Wen Xi sneered and looked at Mrs. Zhang with contempt: "I heard that the lady from your house is like this too. Last time, she was in a jewelry store. The store competed with a young lady for first place, and I was lucky enough to see her 'grace', which was exactly the same as the tutor in the Liu family."
Zhang didn't notice that when Wen Xi said these words, he remembered Liu Mansion and Mayor Liu every word. There were many people watching the excitement outside the shop, and they also remembered Liu Mansion and Mayor Liu.
"You, you, you..." Zhang's finger almost touched the tip of Wen Xi's nose.
She stepped aside, looked at Mrs. Zhang and said: "Last time, a few people came and said they got sick after eating strawberries here. After asking in every possible way, they found out that they have some connection with Mayor Liu, so the food here is It's better not to enter Liu's house, otherwise if something goes wrong with the food, I can't bear it." He gently brushed her hand aside and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Mrs. Liu, even if you are... Those who are brought up by concubines must also pay attention to etiquette. It is taboo to use your fingers, Aunt Liu will not be like you."
Wen Xi just didn't want to sell the strawberries to her today. He made a fuss about her strawberries last time, knowing that she had already found out. Today I actually asked my wife to come over and buy it. I don’t know what the plan was.
She asked Zhao Nian to inquire about the current situation of Liu Mansion.
Since Liu Lingling was punished, Liu Yanxi now only dotes on a new Aunt Liu who has entered the house. Not only is Aunt Liu young and beautiful, she also has a good voice and the songs she sings are so melodious.
Liu Yanxi was very generous with him. As long as he got any good stuff, he would send it to Aunt Liu's yard as soon as possible.
It can be said that in the Liu family, Aunt Liu's status is higher than that of the Zhang family.
Today, Mrs. Zhang wants to buy two baskets of strawberries. If she doesn't get enough, she will send one basket to Aunt Liu's yard. If Mrs. Zhang doesn't bring back even one basket, Aunt Liu must be blowing her pillow. There was a lot of commotion in the Liu Mansion's backyard.
"How do you know Aunt Liu?" Zhang said angrily: "Did that bitch ask you to talk to me like this?"
Huh, so uncontrollable, she just casually tested it, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to speak so harshly.
"Madam, be careful, Aunt Liu is a frequent visitor to Fulai Buzhuang. I have been lucky enough to meet her several times. Even if she is a concubine, she is well-educated and sensible. If you don't know, you might think she is the head mistress of some house!" Wen Xi said with a smile. .
Mrs. Zhang's face was even uglier than before. She didn't believe Wen Xi's nonsense. Aunt Liu must have conspired with her and asked Liu Yanxi to order her to buy strawberries so that she could ridicule her in public and make her lose her fortune. Face, Aunt Liu must want to take her position and replace her as the mayor's wife.
"Sure enough, you and Aunt Liu are in the same group." Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "You can forget about this fruit if you don't want to sell it. Do you think you are the only one in Dongchen who has such a fruit?"
Wen Xi was noncommittal, Dongchen really was the only one who had strawberries.
"But if you offend my wife today, you must be mentally prepared. I will never let you go." Mrs. Zhang lowered her voice and said, "We'll see."
"Let's go slowly without seeing him off." Wen Xi said coldly.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang was so arrogant when she came, and so embarrassed when she left.
Wen Xi watched the carriage go away with a sneer on his lips.
The first time we met, we won.
