Xie Wanyu looked at the letter on the paper. The handwriting was at least eighty-nine times similar to hers, and the seal on it was indeed hers.
The previous suspicions are now more certain.
Xie Fengya's handwriting was taught to her by herself, so now that she saw these handwritings, Xie Wanyu immediately guessed that it was her.
Only Xie Fengya has these thoughts, and Xie Wanyu also trusts her very much. She can easily take out the seal. Besides, she is with Chu Shen. Chu Shen is the eldest prince of Xixia. The rare blood jade should not be in front of him. What a difficult thing.
Xie Wanyu didn't understand why Xie Fengya did this.
Chu Shen is not a moneyless person, so why does she insist on asking for the money from her shop?
"Have you figured out how much money we lost in total?" Xie Wanyu handed the letter to Zhufang and motioned for her to put it away.
Shopkeeper Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "In the surrounding towns and several shops in Xingcheng, all the money on the books has been spent. If you add up the zeros and zeros, there must be 70,000 to 80,000 taels." .”
"Seven or eighty thousand?" Zhu Fang exclaimed.
Shopkeeper Zhong glared at Shopkeeper Zhou, "You are really good!"
Although Xie Wanyu knew that it was Xie Fengya who got the money, she didn't understand why Xie Fengya wanted so much money and what she could do with so much money. Think about it carefully, with this money, if she arrived in Xixia, she would be able to manage everything with her intelligence. It's probably also a good way to save face.
Her heart is as high as the sky. Since she has made up her mind to be with Chu Shen, how can she gain a foothold in Xixia, a place she is unfamiliar with, without money.
Xie Wanyu didn't expect that she would make such a move, and she was filled with anger.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu remained silent, Shopkeeper Zhou thought that Xie Wanyu was extremely angry, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, please spare me."
After losing so much money, if he really had to pay for it, he might not even be able to afford it even if he took the trouble of his whole family.
Xie Wanyu said coldly, "This matter is both my fault and yours. Shopkeeper Zhong, please pass down the order. The shopkeepers of each shop will each be fined three months' monthly payment, and then set a system. Each shop must Make back the lost money before the end of the year, otherwise, you will continue to be fined next year.”
Shopkeeper Zhou looked very ugly because he had to pay a fine, but it was better than being kicked out directly.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Zhong wrote them down one by one.
"If they can exceed the quota, the three months' monthly penalty can be fully returned at the end of the year." Xie Wanyu said, this is also a way to help them make money.
Sure enough, shopkeeper Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard Xie Wanyu say this.
Anyway, this is a good idea, at least it won't cause them too much loss.
Xie Wanyu continued, "Then after that, if it's not enough for people to just hold the Blood Jade Pixiu, they also need my hand card." She brought the hand card to shopkeeper Zhou, "Draw it out and pass it on to shopkeepers everywhere. This is This is the last time. If such mistakes happen again in the future, I will not be polite."
"Yes." Shopkeeper Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran out immediately.
Xie Wanyu sighed, it was all her fault for being careless, but she carried the cards with her, and she would not let others succeed easily this time.
Now she couldn't go to Xixia to ask Xie Fengya for money, she could only take it as a lesson.
Fortunately, seventy or eighty thousand taels is not too much for her, otherwise she would really regret it to death.
Shopkeeper Zhong also went out to help shopkeeper Zhou, and the room gradually became quiet.
Zhufang said while tidying up the room, "The quilt here is much better than the one we stayed in yesterday. It is very soft and has been scented with incense."
"At first glance, this room is for distinguished guests, so it is naturally different." Xie Wanyu said.
It is indeed one of the best inns in Xingcheng. With such conditions, shopkeeper Zhou has done a good job.
Shopkeeper Zhou knew that Xie Wanyu was open-minded. To them, such a punishment was just a small punishment but a big warning. Therefore, Shopkeeper Zhou worked very hard during the few days Xie Wanyu was here.
Knowing whether the money would be returned or not, Xie Wanyu never thought of reporting it to the police. After all, Xie Fengya was a member of the Xie family. She would not be stupid enough to sue her own family. It would still be the Xie family who would bear the consequences.
They also came to Xingcheng, and Xie Wanyu wanted to buy some gifts before going back.
So early the next morning, Xie Wanyu took Zhufang to the street.
The street where Xie's Restaurant is located is the most prosperous, with jewelry shops and clothing stores on the left and right, including Xie's.
Xie Wanyu also went to take a look. There was nothing strange. The shopkeeper was very hardworking and highly recommended. After all, if they made more money, they would not be punished.
Seeing how hard the shopkeeper worked, Xie Wanyu also bought a few token items.
Then cross a street where various vendors set up stalls.
There are many kinds of things here, and they are also very economical.
Xie Wanyu picked out a few wooden puppies, which were very suitable for children to play with, and then bought some books that she had not read before, thinking that Xiao Zhi must be looking forward to her return.
Xie Wanyu chose a bow and arrow of excellent quality.
Dawu has been following behind, otherwise Zhufang would definitely not be able to pick up these things by himself.
The specialty of Xingcheng is candies. Some ordinary cane sugar will be wrapped with sesame or almonds, and the oil paper wrapped has patterns painted on it. It is very novel. Xie Wanyu bought a lot and planned to share some when she goes home.
While walking, Xie Wanyu was attracted by a makeup stall.
There are many colors of makeup here, but the smell is a bit pungent, so it doesn't look like a good thing, but some colors are not available in ordinary makeup shops.
"How do you sell this?" came a familiar voice.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but tighten her hat.
On the other hand, it was Zhu Fang who shouted in surprise, "Pei'er!"
Pei'er also looked at her in surprise, "Zhu Fang, why are you here?" There was joy in her tone.
"I came here with my wife. Oh my god, you are really different from last time. Are you doing well?" Zhu Fang looked at Pei'er and said.
Pei'er's smile froze, then nodded.
His eyes turned to Xie Wanyu, "Pei'er would like to say hello to Madam."
Xie Wanyu looked at Pei'er through her hat. Her hands were still rough, but her face seemed to be much better. Her illness must have been cured as well.
Nowadays, wearing a woman's bun is probably a sign of getting married.
Having a place to stay is much better than living in a dark kiln.
Xie Wanyu nodded, "How are you doing?"
"Thanks to Madam." Pei'er finished speaking and said with a smile, "My home is not far away. If Madam had come to sit down, I would now be able to cook some of my specialty dishes."
Zhufang looked at Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu refused lightly, "That's all, I'm in a bit of a hurry today, let's do it next time."
For someone who had betrayed her, how could Xie Wanyu dare to eat from her?
Pei'er's eyes darkened, and then she said, "In that case, Pei'er won't force it, but Madam, can you lend me a step to speak?" She looked at Xie Wanyu expectantly.
Xie Wanyu looked at her and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
