Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 51
Shopkeeper Wang was shocked. It turned out that the woman in front of him was the owner of Xuanhai Moon Palace, the new head of the Xuan family.During the Chinese New Year this year, Xuanxin Palace sent out a news that the owner of Xuan Qiming Palace had passed away, and the former Xuanxin Saintess Xuan Haiyue would inherit the palace.Thinking of this, shopkeeper Wang quickly told the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that yesterday was the birthday of Mrs. Wu, the wife of Yang Guoyan. Her younger brother Wu Xiong bought a pearl necklace for 500 taels at Zhenyutai as a gift for his sister.Unexpectedly, he ran to Zhenyutai early this morning and said that this string of pearl necklaces was a fake, faded and cracked.Wu Xiong asked Zhenyutai to pay 5 taels of compensation, and if he didn't pay the compensation, he would buy the entire Zhenyutai. The shopkeeper Wang got into a big fight with Wu Xiong.

Xuan Haiyue turned her head, looked at the man named Wu Xiong, raised the corners of her mouth, and said, "Mr. Wu, this palace is Xuan Haiyue, the owner of Zhenyu Terrace. Since it was discovered that there was a sale of fake goods, this matter This palace will definitely conduct a thorough investigation, can Mr. Wu agree?"

Wu Xiong looked suspiciously at the calm and elegant girl in front of him, and said, "You are Xuan Haiyue who was divorced by King Qi?"

Xuan Haiyue smiled indifferently: "It's Bengong!"

"Then how do you deal with this matter?" Wu Xiong asked with raised eyebrows.

"Zhenyutai is a time-honored brand that has been around for decades, and reputation is very important. How about this, I will ask shopkeeper Wang to give you 1000 taels of silver as an apology, how about it?"

"What? Only 1000 taels? This is too little. At least 5 taels, not less than one tael!" Wu Xiong shouted in surprise.

"You!" Shopkeeper Wang pointed at Wu Xiong, turned his head and said earnestly to Xuan Haiyue: "Master, this string of pearl necklaces is really not worth 5 taels! Besides, I didn't sell his fakes at all, this matter is very strange , please pay attention to the palace master."

Xuan Haiyue raised the corners of her lips and said to herself: "Just now I heard Mr. Wu say that this pearl necklace was bought the day before yesterday to celebrate Mrs. Wu's birthday. This morning Mrs. Wu got up to wear it and found out that it was a fake. Why don't we go to the Yang Mansion How about confronting Madam? Speaking of which, I haven't visited my uncle and aunt for a long time."

"Okay, let's go!" Wu Xiong said boldly.snort!What if you go?My sister hid the real pearl necklace this morning, and it was useless to go there.Zhenyutai is a good jade shop, the Wu family has long wanted to annex it, and the ducks they got can't fly like this.

After leaving the Zhenyu Terrace, Xuan Haiyue gave Yanyun a secret wink, and Yanyun knew it, and quietly left the path while no one was paying attention...

Yangfu Cimu Hall.

At this time, an old man was sitting on the main seat in the hall. Although his temples were gray, there was still a sharpness in his brows, and he exuded a serious aura. .Mrs. Yang sat side by side on the left of Mrs. Yang, and Yang Guoyan and his wife Wu sat on the vertical chairs on the right.

"Xuan Haiyue greets uncles and aunts, and uncles and aunts." Xuan Haiyue politely greeted the people sitting in the hall.

"Wu Xiong sends greetings to the old man, old lady, and brother-in-law."

Old Mr. Yang saw that the face of the woman in yellow in front of him looked a little like his sister, and couldn't help feeling mixed feelings.And Yang Guoyan, who was on the side, looked at Xuan Haiyue's face that looked like Xia Xinlan's, his eyes lit up, and there was a faint obsession in his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about something?And Wu Shi, who was beside Yang Guoyan, looked at her husband's eyes, and then at Xuan Haiyue, feeling a surge of hatred in her heart.

"Uncle, I'm going straight to the point. I came here today mainly because of Mrs. Wu's birthday yesterday when I bought fake goods at Zhenyutai. The treasurer Wang of Zhenyutai insisted that he never sold fake goods to Mr. Wu, and Wu The son said that this pearl necklace was found to be a fake when Mrs. Wu was wearing it this morning. This matter is related to the reputation of Zhenyutai, and I hope my uncle and aunt will be fair." Xuan Haiyue glanced at Yanxia, ​​who will hold the pearl necklace Bring the tray to Mrs. Yang.

The old lady picked up the necklace and looked at it, and handed it to the old lady beside her. Mrs. Yang looked at it for a while: "This necklace is not the one that Wu Xiong sent yesterday, it was Jin Ju's birthday yesterday, and Wu Xiong specially bought it for Jin Ju. A string of pearl necklaces worth 500 taels was given to her, and she even showed it to me."

"My aunt said that the necklace in my aunt's hand did not come from Zhenyutai. But Mr. Wu must say that he did buy the necklace at Zhenyutai as a gift for his wife, and the shopkeeper Wang insisted on selling it to Mr. Wu. The original is the real one. Thinking about it this way, there is only one possibility, that is, the pearl necklace was dropped by someone, maybe the real necklace is still in the mansion." Xuan Haiyue calmly analyzed.

"Xuan Haiyue, do you mean that I deliberately hid the real pearl necklace and took out a bunch of fake Zhenyutai?" Wu Jinju stood up and said angrily to Xuan Haiyue.

Xuan Haiyue turned around, looked at Mrs. Wu, and said calmly: "Auntie calm down, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I just want to give Zhenyutai justice. Zhenyutai is already a time-honored brand in the capital. If you sell fakes If the news of this incident gets out, the reputation will definitely be damaged, and this palace, as the owner of the Zhenyu Terrace, has to take it seriously."

"Oops!" Suddenly there was a scream from outside the door.

"Whoever is making noise outside, come in!" Yang Guo said sternly.

A plainly dressed maid walked in. The maid staggered and knelt down on the ground. A handkerchief fell out from her cuff. Inside the handkerchief was a shiny thing.

"Isn't this Cuiguo, the big maid next to Jinju? What's next to it, let me have a look." Mrs. Yang said with a frown.

Soon the maid next to Mrs. Yang handed the handkerchief to Mrs. Xuan, the corner of Xuan Haiyue's mouth curled up, Yan Yun's movements were really fast, it was done in such a short time.Seeing the things in the old lady's hand, Mrs. Wu couldn't help feeling flustered, and tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand.

The old lady opened the handkerchief and saw a string of crystal clear pearl necklaces shining white. "This...isn't this the necklace that Wu Xiong sent yesterday? How could it be in your hands? Cuiguo, what's going on? Tell me the truth, did you steal the necklace!" The old lady turned to Cui who was kneeling on the ground. Fruit, said angrily.

Facing the old lady's stern words, Cuiguo trembled in fright: "Old lady...old lady...it's none of my business! Madam gave it to me this morning and asked me to hide it. Madam told me to keep it Hide the real necklace and replace it with a fake necklace that is exactly the same. Let the uncle take the fake necklace to Zhenyutai to ask for compensation. This string of real necklaces is hidden in the backyard of Zhenyu Terrace, so even if we go to Zhenyu Terrace in the yamen, there will be no way to argue."

"Presumptuous! Cuiguo, you bastard, how dare you slander me. Thanks to my usual care for you, how dare you speak such nonsense!" Wu Jinju stood up and slapped Cuiguo, cursing angrily, her face pale. Because of the twisted anger, the demeanor of the housewife is gone.
