Chapter 338: Chapter 341 Limited Patience_1
Madam Liang said with a stern face, "Young lady, you can’t talk like that. Don’t you get tired from running around all day? I’m also thinking of your best interest. If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it further."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam, but the secret recipe is not for sale."
Qiao Duo’er’s attitude was very firm because she had greater expectations for the braised meat.
Her expectations were worth far more than thirty taels!
The maid couldn’t keep her composure anymore. "My Madam is the daughter of a Master in the Government Office, can you afford to offend her?"
Now that her Madam has brought a silver note to buy the recipe, you’d better hand it over quickly. Otherwise, if her Madam gets angry, you won’t get anything.
Qiao Duo’er curled her lip. That’s the daughter of a Master?
In the courtroom, it was clear that Qin Longyun favored her; the Master couldn’t be unaware of that.
The only explanation was that this daughter was acting on her own.
Hmm... another troublemaker.
Madam Liang feigned anger. "Green Screen, don’t spout nonsense. We are here to do business honestly. What’s the point of saying those useless things?"
The reprimanded maid hung her head and dared not speak further; she knew her Madam was very self-satisfied and merely chose not to say it.
Madam Liang looked at Qiao Duo’er again. "Young lady, look at this, I’ll add another ten taels of silver. Are you satisfied now?"
Qiao Duo’er still shook her head, her face showing not a hint of wavering.
Forget about the daughter of a Master, even if the Master himself were here, she would not change her mind.
After all, she had some connection with Lord County Magistrate. How could she easily compromise?
Madam Liang glared at Qiao Duo’er, but what could she do when the other party was unyielding?
"You might want to think carefully about this, young lady. If you change your mind, come look for me at any time. I don’t have much patience left," said Madam Liang with a meaningful tone.
Yes, it was an outright threat!
She had been domineering since birth, and she had never seen anyone dare to cross her!
Qiao Duo’er said indifferently, "Take care, no need to see you out."
"Sister-in-law, what should we do? They won’t rest until they get the recipe," said Chao Lian worriedly. Commoners cannot oppose officials; if they really stirred up trouble, it would surely be them at a disadvantage.
Qiao Duo’er was unconcerned. "You have so little faith in the Lord County Magistrate? With Lord Qin presiding over the matter, which criminal would dare to cause trouble?"
Ever since Qin Longyun took charge of White Stone Town, everyone’s lives had gradually improved. Everyone, including Chao Lian, had a good opinion of him.
"That’s right. If they continue to be obstinate, we’ll go to the Government Office and report them."
In the end, each one of them will end up just like Xiao Biyu, a prisoner kneeling down, and might be locked up for at least ten years!
At this moment, inside the carriage.
Green Screen spat angrily, "It’s just a lousy recipe! They actually think it’s a treasure and they don’t even respect you, Madam. You really should teach them a lesson!"
"I already said you were the Master’s daughter, and she didn’t take it seriously at all. Do you think there’s something wrong with her head?"
The maid didn’t stop talking, and Madam Liang was pleased to hear it. If not for her own dignity, she would have liked to curse herself.
"Who cares if she’s crazy or not? If she gracefully hands over the recipe, then all is well. But if she refuses, I have plenty of ways to deal with her!"
Madam Liang clenched her fist, the corners of her mouth curling into a cruel smile.
Green Screen flattered, "Madam, you are so formidable. There’s nothing in White Stone Town you can’t have."
Madam Liang raised an eyebrow, full of pride.
She had every reason to believe that the braised meat recipe would be hers very soon!
