hard, it's more dignified than staying with such people!"If Chunlan hadn't spoken up, Fang Jinxiu had planned to apologize on behalf of her young girl. It was true that Yulian had spoken too harshly....After being shocked, the shop assistants all looked worried. The shopkeeper had just hit someone in front of so many customers. Would this affect the store's reputation

Bystanders doing business would treat customers like gods, but this Dongjia is surprisingly tough.

Although it's for Mr. Wu, that doesn't mean you should hit him.

One person, seeing that something was amiss, had already slipped away to find Wu Niang and report the situation. This matter must be brought to the attention of the young master.

Facing the questioning gaze of the woman, Fang Jinshu gave a cold smile.

"If you are truly here at the restaurant to enjoy a meal, I naturally welcome you. I will do my best to make your master and guests feel right at home."

"Too bad, you're not."

Hearing Fang Jinshu's words, the woman's eyes flickered slightly. Just as she was about to open her mouth to deny it, finally there was movement from inside the carriage behind.

"Gold Mama, you step down."

As his voice faded, the man in the carriage stepped out. He was about thirty years old, dressed in the elegant attire of a scholar, giving the impression of neither a nobleman nor a merchant.

If I had to find a description, it would be similar to the image of a teacher.

As the person approached, Fang Jinshi silently withdrew her gaze that had been subtly assessing him.

Given all the commotion just now, it's strange that this person hasn't gotten out of the carriage. It's hard to say he wasn't doing it on purpose.

"You must be Fang's wife,"

The person immediately stated Fang Jinshi's full name upon arrival. Fang Jinshi was slightly surprised inside, and an idea flashed through her mind instantly.

Could he be the Jiang Ye who has been causing such a commotion in the tavern these past few days, making it unbearable for everyone

She tentatively spoke, "Could it be that you are Lord Jiang"

The other party smiled, not denying it was an admission.

"I apologize, Madam Fang. My servants are a bit clumsy. I was dozing off in the carriage just now and didn't hear anything."

Fang Jinxiu almost rolled her eyes at the flimsy excuse. She couldn't believe he had the nerve to say it out loud.

Didn't you hear it that loud

With a wave of his hand, the man addressed as "Jiangye" caused the woman called Jin Ma to instantly transform, striding towards the person they had just been arguing with. She first offered an apology and then presented a silver note worth a considerable sum.

When the other party heard that the person in the carriage was Jiang Ye, the overlord of the capital, their face had already changed.

Just now, he was arguing, his face red with anger, but now there's a look of fear on his face.

"We wouldn't dare, we couldn't possibly accept compensation from Lord Jiang."

"It was entirely our fault just now. This spot at the entrance was naturally reserved for Master Jiang, and I will go park elsewhere."

"I'm so, so sorry. Please forgive us common folk for our disrespect towards Lord Jiang."

In the capital, who doesn't know that this Jiang Ye has a very powerful backer Back then, he set fire to a household in the capital, burning them alive. The head of that household was a low-ranking official in the court, though his rank was humble, he was still an official.

Not only was he ruthless enough to take an entire family's lives, but afterward, no officials came to trouble him. He went into the government office and was released in less than half a day.

After that, few people in the capital dared to offend this Lord Jiang.

Jin Ma quickly finished the matter and sent away those who needed to be gone. Seeing the silver note in Jin Ma's hand, the man felt as if he had seen the grim reaper's summons; he didn't dare accept it and practically ran away, covered in cold sweat.

Apologizing while running.

Fang Jinxiu frowned slightly, seeing this. It seemed that this Jiang Ye was truly not an easy person to deal with.

"Unexpectedly, Madam Fang also knows me. It is truly my honor."

Although this tavern is run by Miss Fang, I wonder if Miss Fang would grace me with her presence. Allow me to borrow a flower to offer to the Buddha and ask you for a drink

Jiang Ye's attitude towards the other party was surprisingly courteous and polite. Jin Mama stood behind him with a puzzled expression, her eyes darted towards Fang Jinxiu's gaze, still carrying a strong resentment and cold hostility.

This little wretch is a thorn in the side of everyone, especially those in power who would go to any lengths to get rid of her. Jiang Ye and she are destined to be enemies; why bother being so polite to her

Where does she deserve her grandpa to give her a good face, and ask her for a drink.

Fang Jinshu didn't directly answer Jiang Ye's words. She was always observant, and she hadn't missed Jin Mama's occasional gestures and disgusted glances.

She let out a chuckle, unconcerned about Jiang's intentions today. Regardless of his reasons for being here, she had to cripple Old Mrs. Jin first and get revenge on Mother Wu.

"Can you buy me a drink"

"The humble woman fears she is unworthy of such fortune."

"I appreciate the kind gesture, sir. However, I'm afraid drinking this wine won't bring me joy, it might even upset my stomach."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Mrs. Kim, her gaze lingering on her for a while.

Gold Mama's whole body trembled, and she cursed Fang in her heart. This little bitch actually dared to openly play tricks on her in front of Jiang Ye.

She has followed Lord Jiang's side for many years, her status is not something that can be shaken by her words!

"Master Jiang, in this old servant's opinion, this meal..." She was just about to say she wouldn't eat it.

This little wretch in front of us is nowhere near escaping death. How dare this vile creature be so arrogant and defy such a great figure!

Why bother giving her face, Master Jiang It's really unnecessary.

Before Madam Jin could finish her words, Master Jiang cut her off with a cold snort.

"Outrageous."

Golden Mama froze in place, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and disbelief.

"Mother Jin, you are becoming increasingly unruly."

"Come over here and apologize to Madam Fang."

Jin Ma almost thought she had misheard. Just now, her grandfather said what He wanted her to apologize to that Fang woman

Hearing the name Jiang, Fang Jinshu didn't show any particular expression on her face, she just opened her mouth and said.

"The one who was hurt wasn't me. If Madam Jin wants to apologize, she should apologize to my master."

When facing such a brilliant opponent, Jiang Ye's attitude was unexpectedly good. He smiled faintly, and even his smile held a hint of indulgence.

"Okay, I'll have her apologize to your shopkeeper."

To be honest, we were indeed in the wrong just now. It was my fault for not properly disciplining my subordinates. Later, Madam Fang, I would like to ask for your forgiveness and treat you to a cup of tea as a token of apology.

"My apologies."

Fang Jinshi thought about it and didn't refuse. It wasn't because she really wanted to drink with this Jiang, she just wanted to know what this person's purpose was for coming to the tavern today and acting so strangely.

Perhaps we can get to the bottom of things over some drinks later.

That depends on Jiang Ye's sincerity.

She pointed at Mama Jin with her chin, her meaning clear.

At this time, Wu's mother also finished treating the wound on her forehead and came out. She had heard from her subordinates about what had just happened outside, and she was quite surprised.

She had only known her new employer for a few days, yet she was willing to stand up for her and even went to such lengths.

Knowing full well that the other party was Jiang Ye, the one who had been secretly causing them trouble all along, she still stubbornly demanded an apology from them. Fang Jinshu, though not her true master, was a human being after all. Wu Niang's gaze fell upon her, her eyes flickering with emotion several times.

To say one's heart is unmoved is a lie.

"Mother, you're injured. Why aren't you resting inside, and what are you doing out here"

Fang Jinshu urged her to go back quickly, but Wu Niang stepped forward and bowed to her.

Perhaps even Lian Fangjxiu herself hadn't noticed, that after she took over the winehouse from Tanna, Wu Niang saw her but never performed a proper greeting. Every time, she would only offer a casual hello and nod her head.

This was the first time Wu Niang had bowed her head to someone of lower status than herself. It meant something entirely different.

"Master, this is just a skin injury, it's nothing serious."

Fang Jinshi saw that she was really fine, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned back to face Jiang Ye.

"Lord Jiang, although our young Miss Jin has just arrived in the capital, don't underestimate her. She's not someone anyone can bully just because they want to."

"Faces are all about mutual achievement. If the other party bullies me, do you think I could give them a good face"er lightly on the back, then whispered softly in his ear."Young master, these medicinal herbs look extraordinary. They are all of the highest quality, rarely seen in ordinary times. Keeping them would...
