Chapter 290 Nothing else to talk about
Wang's face flushed at what Zhao Xiuwan said, "Madam Qian, I used to support my son in mentioning you and your husband. He was a person who gained face in front of General Wei. Tell me, if I tell your husband what you said to me before, how will your husband look at you?"
Zhao Xiuwan's expression suddenly froze.
"You are such a funny old woman. I kindly gave you a way out, but you came to block my way." Zhao Xiuwan pretended to be calm and said, "Old woman, consider your own weight before you speak!" After saying that, Zhao Xiuwan was about to walk out with her maid.
Wang Shi was not willing to let Zhao Xiuwan go like this. She stopped Zhao Xiuwan and smiled fiercely, "Okay, if Madam is really not afraid, then I will accompany you to find the general's wife! We don't even have to look for Lord Qian!"
"What are you doing? Let my wife go!" Seeing this, the maidservant on the side hurried over and tried to snatch her wife back. However, she didn't know that Wang was using all her strength. The tendons of a little girl were nowhere near as strong as that of the old woman when she was angry.
For a moment, the flesh on Zhao Xiuwan's wrists and arms was pulled so hard that it hurt.
"Let go, let go!" Zhao Xiuwan's scalp felt numb with pain and she shouted quickly.
"If she lets go, I will!" Wang roared.
The little maid knew that her mistress was hurt by the pulling, so she quickly let go.
"You let go too! My maid has already let go!" Zhao Xiuwan said angrily when she saw Wang was still pinching her wrist.
"Madam, please stop making trouble. If you continue to make trouble, it will be difficult for us!" Wang sneered, "Otherwise, you are really willing to go with me to see the general's wife!"
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Xiuwan also knew that although this alley was secluded, it didn't mean that no one came here. If the commotion got out of hand and people gathered around to watch the fun, this old woman would not know what nonsense to talk about.
"Madam, didn't I just say that? We can't afford to eat at home! My grandchildren haven't had meat for several days." Mrs. Wang said, "I'm an old woman, and I don't ask for much. As long as Madam is willing to give me a few taels of silver, I will go home! I will never bother you again!"
"Where do I get the money!" Zhao Xiuwan said angrily.
"Madam, please don't be so modest. I've been to your restaurant. The business there is booming. I see many soldiers from the Black Tiger Army eating there. They must be doing this for Captain Qian's sake!" Wang said with a smile, "If my rebellious son still had a military post, those people would naturally give him some face. Unfortunately, my rebellious son has cut off contact with our family. Madam, I don't ask for much. I just want ten taels of silver. Just think of it as a good deed and buy some meat for the children! What do you think?"
"Will you really stop bothering me if I give you money?" Zhao Xiuwan looked at Wang doubtfully.
Although she knew in her heart that Wang would not let it go so easily unless Cui Yushan really brought her son back from the mountains.
But even if I get it back, I'm afraid it won't stop.
But in this situation, in order to get out of this situation, she could only pretend to be nice.
"Of course." Wang said quickly and confidently.
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Zhao Xiuwan said to Wang, "Let go first!"
"Give me the money first!" Wang knew that once she let go, it would be difficult to catch Zhao Xiuwan again. After all, she brought a maid with her. She succeeded before because she caught her by surprise. If she really let go, Zhao Xiuwan would run away as soon as the maid tried to stop her!
Although she is acting tough now, she also knows that if she makes a scene outside, nothing good will happen to her. She just wants to extort some money to spend, because the bastard at home holds on to the money tightly.
"Okay. Give her ten taels of silver!" Zhao Xiuwan said to her maid.
The maid quickly took out the purse, opened it and took a look. There was about ten taels of silver in it. "That's all!" She handed the purse to Wang.
Wang snatched the purse, then took several steps back, looking at Zhao Xiuwan warily.
"Get away from me, and don't let me see you again!" Zhao Xiuwan felt aggrieved in her heart, but she was not forgiving in her words. "This can only happen once! If you dare to threaten me again, you just wait! I'll let you know what it means when the people don't fight against the officials!"
After Wang Po got the money, she would not act arrogantly again. "Yes, yes! I know that Madam is kind-hearted. I will not do that again! Never again!"
"You'd better do what you say!" Zhao Xiuwan straightened her sleeves and quickly walked away with her maid.
After leaving the alley, Zhao Xiuwan looked back at Wang who was still counting money in the alley, snorted, and then left.
She still had things to do.
After coming out of the alley, she took her maid to Caidiexuan.
"Madam, the seats at Caidiexuan are full." Lvshui, who was standing at the door, frowned slightly when she saw Zhao Xiuwan coming. Although she knew Zhao Xiuwan, she didn't point it out. "If you want to eat, why don't you get a number first? We'll invite you over when there's a vacant seat."
Zhao Xiuwan glanced inside Cai Caidiexuan and found that it was indeed full of guests.
It's not even dinner time yet, but the place is already full!
This business is so good that it makes Zhao Xiuwan feel a little upset!
The sound of her Hongyun Restaurant is pretty good, but not as good as that of Caidiexuan!
"I'm here to see your boss!" Zhao Xiuwan threw the sign that Lushui handed over back to Lushui, snorting, "Don't hide it, your boss is Xie Yingfeng's wife, Qu Wanning. I have something urgent to do with her." Although the fact that Caidiexuan is the restaurant opened by Su Jixiang has not been publicized, many people already know about it. After all, Caidiexuan sponsored the first Black Tiger Army Skills Competition.
And Qu Wanning was the shopkeeper! After Zhao Xiuwan knew that Caidiexuan was a store jointly opened by Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning, she was also angry for a while. She was angry because the business of Caidiexuan was so good that it made people jealous.
Seeing that Zhao Xiuwan had made her words so clear, Lushui decided not to play it safe.
"Then please follow me, Mrs. Qian." She took Zhao Xiuwan directly into the tea room at the back.
At this time there is still one tea room that is empty.
"Madam, please sit down for a moment." After settling Zhao Xiuwan, she went to find Qu Wanning.
When Qu Wanning heard this, his brows furrowed, "She didn't say anything?"
"No." Lu Shui said.
"Then I'll go and take a look!" Qu Wanning did not delay. This Zhao Xiuwan would not come here without a reason. Since she was here, it must be something big.
When he saw Zhao Xiuwan, Qu Wanning didn't beat around the bush with her, "Mrs. Qian must have something to do today! Let's get straight to the point. After all, there's nothing else to talk about."
