Chapter 1126: Chapter 1132: Better to Die Early
"This shop is quite large; it should be enough for you,"
Chen Yiling said, squinting her eyes.
Back then, she spotted this shop among a stack of Land Deeds and House Deeds just like that, and as Lord Yu was about to reward achievements, the shop ended up in Qiao Duo’er’s hands.
Qiao Duo’er nodded. "Of course it’s enough, but it’s too troublesome to transport embroidery from White Stone County, so I’m planning to set up an Embroidery Room too. Could you ask Brother Qin what would be a suitable place to build it?"
"Leave it to me, I’ll tell you when I come back to see Rui Rui," Chen Yiling said, patting her chest.
Qin Longyun was always wandering outside; he would definitely know a suitable place.
"Then thank you very much."
Chen Yiling brushed away Qiao Duo’er’s hands as she was about to bow: "We are friends, isn’t helping each other expected?"
Moreover, she wasn’t of much use; she could only help with these little things.
But Qiao Duo’er had given her thirty percent of the profits, and if she wasn’t more active in helping, she would feel guilty.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in mourning hemp kneeled in front of Duo Meifang’s foundation.
"God, you’re really not leaving us any way to live, it’s these two vicious women who had my three sons thrown into prison, now leaving a whole family of orphans and widows; what are we to do?"
"It’s true, crows are black everywhere, Lord Li is just biased towards his daughter-in-law, yet my children are harmed!"
"Heaven, just open your eyes and look, send these black-hearted people to Hell, to let them fully experience those tortures!"
An elderly woman said forcefully, like a fighting cock poised to attack.
"Was it Mo’er who sent them to cause trouble?" Chen Yiling asked weakly.
"No, Mo’er has to take care of the child and has to take the chance to capture Prince Liang’s heart; she’s very busy. Hearing this person’s words, it seems that it’s the mother of the stall owner from yesterday," Qiao Duo’er analyzed.
As for this shop, Mo’er would eventually remember it.
Chen Yiling realized, it turned out that she and Duo’er were being blamed for exposing someone’s scam.
"Let’s go have a look."
Chen Yiling strode over.
As they approached, the woman’s cursing grew even more venomous.
"With the way you harm others, you will definitely not have a good end, and your descendants will pay for today’s deeds!"
"Then your families will fall apart, your offspring lying sickly in bed; both your families will be finished!"
Chen Yiling felt a surge of anger within her; it was one thing to accuse her and Duo’er, but involving their children was out of line.
They were still tender little dumplings; what had they done wrong?
Chen Yiling said resolutely, "If you think this is a wrongful case, you could ask Lord Li to reopen the court and review the case. If you’re not reassured, you could invite the whole Mansion City to attend. If even one person thinks it’s unfair, then it’ll be revisited. Do you dare?"
The case was judged yesterday afternoon. Qin Longyun was busy and, to avoid suspicion, he didn’t participate at all; there could not possibly have been deliberate partiality.
Moreover, if she was dissatisfied, she could have spoken up in court; why come here instead?
Do they think that by making a scene here, the Guang House would let those unscrupulous merchants go unpunished?
The elderly woman beat her chest and stomped her feet, saying, "I won’t talk to you, I’m going to hang myself with all my family right now. Living is suffering anyway, better to go sooner rather than later."
She cried pitifully and simultaneously kept an eye on the reactions of the people around her.
A large part of the crowd sympathized with her, because most of them were commoners who knew that confronting the authorities was tantamount to seeking death.
So facing unfair treatment, all they could do was swallow their grievances, teeth and blood together. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
