Chapter 285 Misunderstanding, then who is she?
"Want to leave?" Yao Qingnian chuckled, found a place to sit down, and looked at them quietly.
Shan Wei continued to stand in front of them.
"Are you all dead? Hurry up and kick this little girl out and let the lady get out!" Chan'er said angrily to the guys.
"Don't let anyone go! Today I want to see who is lying."
"Yes, if you are not afraid, why are you leaving?"
"It looks like he is guilty."
The people blocked the door, refusing to let anyone out, and began to support Yao Qingnian.
Chen Shuhua is the jewel in the crown of the meritorious Duke. If this shop really belongs to the Shangshu Mansion, then the lady in front of them is a liar. They are also seeing injustice. If the lady inside is lying, the government will not let her off so easily, so the people are filled with righteous indignation and shouted spontaneously.
It was clear whether the owner of this shop was from the Shangshu Mansion. He didn't know whether the girl in front of him was the real young lady of the boss's family, but if things got out of hand, it would definitely not end well. He knew the inside story better than anyone else. If the person in front of him was the real young lady, the Shangshu would not forgive him if things were not handled properly, so he lowered his posture and said, "Miss, this is all a misunderstanding! Let's sit down and discuss it properly. It's not necessary to report to the police."
"Misunderstanding? Then tell me, when did the wife of the Shangshu Mansion become the seductive woman in front of you?"
Yao Qingnian has guessed about 70% of the answer now. This woman is so unscrupulous, maybe there is someone backing her up!
The onlookers seemed to have guessed the ins and outs of the matter. A few days ago, there was a heated discussion in the capital that Minister Shen had an affair with a maid in the mansion and was caught on the spot. They didn't quite believe that it was true. Minister Shen specially came out to clarify that it was slander and that it didn't happen. However, the current situation made people think more about it.
"This... If you are really the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, you should go back and ask the Shangshu yourself." The shopkeeper held his forehead with his hand, and had a headache for a while: "This jewelry is for Madam Shen, you take it back."
The shopkeeper now only hopes that Shen Wenting can come to the rescue, otherwise if today's incident gets out of hand, everything will be over. As the shopkeeper said this, he signaled the woman to leave quickly.
But Yao Qingnian saw the shopkeeper's expression and actions clearly. She wanted to leave, but there was no way. Even if they wanted to let her go, the onlookers would not agree.
"Is it Minister Shen who swore to marry only one person and never take concubines?"
"That's right! I heard that this girl is the biological daughter who was recently brought back from the countryside. The Miss Youran in the mansion is just an adopted daughter, and she is the real daughter of the Shangshu Mansion." said someone who knew the situation.
"Is the news reliable?" The people were skeptical.
"Of course. The Earl's Mansion held a party a few days ago and invited Mrs. Shen. She personally acknowledged this daughter in public, and everyone present heard it." The person who spoke affirmed.
"Not taking a concubine? He was having an affair with a servant a few days ago." Someone immediately brought up what happened two days ago.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that this woman is not a simple person. Look at her charming appearance, the two breasts on her chest are about to burst out, and she has a seductive look on her face. She is definitely not a good person. I think she is kept by Minister Shen outside."
"Bah, I used to envy Madam Shen for having such a good husband! Turns out he's a hypocrite. If it weren't for this young lady today, we wouldn't know the true face of Minister Shen!"
"She doesn't behave herself as a concubine, and she dares to come out and claim to be the legitimate wife. She is threatening to report to the police. When the police come, let's see how she ends up."
Everyone was talking at once, and more and more people were gathering to watch, blocking the entrance of the huge shop. Many of the people in the crowd had concubines or men who had mistresses outside, so they all hated these coquettish and slutty women.
The woman had an unpleasant look on her face, and she no longer had the proud and charming look she had when she first came in.
The guy who ran away soon came back with the officials, and the crowd of onlookers made way. Yao Qingnian signaled Shan Wei with his eyes, and Shan Wei took advantage of the chaos to leave.
"Get out of the way! Who reported this to the police?" A man dressed like a police chief was followed by a group of people.
"Sir, I am the one who reported you."
"We are officials from Jingzhao Prefecture. Please tell us what happened."
"Master Guan, this is what happened. I came to inspect the shop today with my mother's jade seal, but this woman actually pretended to be the wife of our Shangshu Mansion and regarded herself as the wife of the host. She colluded with the shopkeeper and wanted to take away things from the shop. This is the shop's title deed and my mother's jade seal. Please take a look, sir." Yao Qingnian took out the title deed and jade seal in front of everyone.
"So you are the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. I was so blind that I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me." When the official saw Chen Shuhua's jade seal, he immediately became respectful.
"There's no need to be so polite, sir." Yao Qingnian returned the salute, giving the official enough face.
"Oh my! It turns out that this is really the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. It seems that woman is a liar!" Everyone pointed at the woman.
"How dare you pretend to be the wife of the Shangshu Mansion? You are so bold! Someone, come! Take these people back..."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded behind him: "Shen Nianran!"
Everyone looked at the person who came in, only to see Shen Wenting running in breathlessly, sweating profusely. Although he was old, his facial features were regular and he still had the handsome face he had in his youth.
"Dad, you've come at the right time. Someone pretended to be mom, and I saw her when I was inspecting the shop. The police are just about to take her to the government office for a thorough investigation!" Yao Qingnian bowed. With his current status, he still had to observe the proper etiquette to avoid people finding fault and causing trouble.
When the shopkeeper and the woman saw Shen Wenting coming, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They were saved!
"Your Excellency the Minister!" When the officers saw that it was Minister Shen, they saluted.
Everyone poked their heads inside, wanting to know what was going on.
The woman's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Shen Wenting with grievance in her beautiful eyes, with a forbearing and pitiful look, biting her lips. In order not to let others see the abnormality, Shen Wenting only glanced at her and then looked away.
"Nianran, what are you doing!" Shen Wenting suppressed his inner anger and panic. This damn rebellious girl suddenly caused such a thing, catching him off guard.
"Dad, how can this be nonsense! Everyone heard it clearly. This woman said that she is the wife of the owner of the shop, but this is my mother's shop. You should know who is real and fake better than me! If we don't figure it out today, others will think that the woman in front of us is someone you found outside!" Yao Qingnian deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it.
"Shut up! How is that possible! Nianran! This is all a misunderstanding!"
