Chapter 932: Choking the Neck and Pressing the Head to Admit Mistake
"Liu Fangyu, Liu Zhengshi, come with me quickly, I need your pharmacy to handle something!" Wen Tao shouted loudly.
Behind him were Master Lu, Kang Lang, Kang Rong, and two students surnamed Zheng—Zheng Qianjia and Zheng Qianming, who were offshoots of the prestigious Zheng family, but were also considered half masters of Liu Zhengshi and her son.
Finished!
When Liu Zhengshi saw Wen Tao and the Zheng family students, her face turned deathly pale. She felt that she was about to be beaten to death and was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.
The next moment, bang, he fainted on the high platform.
This?
"Mother, Mother, wake up, don't scare your son!" Liu Fangyu was overjoyed and seized this great opportunity to get away immediately: "Miss Qin, Master Qin, Madam Qin, Young Master Qin, my mother broke the rules today. I will come to apologize another day. Right now, I must carry my mother to get medical treatment. I hope the Qin family will forgive me!"
The boy had practiced speaking, and his words were clear and easy to understand. Everyone knew that Liu Zhengshi had fainted, and Liu Fangyu, being a filial son, was going to carry his mother to get her treatment.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaomi said, "Manager Liu, there's no need to go to such lengths. My Qin family has plenty of doctors... Elder Xun and Physician Shen from the palace, go and revive Madam Liu, lest there be rumors tomorrow that my Qin family caused Madam Liu to faint and fall seriously ill, or even die from anger. If that happens, my Qin family will be unable to clear our name even if we jump into the moat."
The Great Wei Dynasty doesn't have the Yellow River, so even if I explained it, no one would understand.
"Oh dear, yes, yes, we must wake Liu Zhengshi up now, otherwise they'll try to extort money from my family, and then we'll be in deep trouble!" Granny Qin shouted, then shrank behind Old Madam Guan, grabbing her sleeve and pleading as if she were crying, "My dear in-law, I really didn't know what the Liu family was up to. Before they offered me the gold-headed noodles, I told Liu Zhengshi that I couldn't make the decision for Mei'er, and that her marriage was my fifth brother and sister-in-law's business, but they still insisted on giving me the gold-headed noodles."
"I didn't accept that gold-headed face. I even beg the old lady to put in a good word for me, otherwise Xiao Mi will punish me to death."
Then she called out to Liu Fangyu, "Manager Liu, your gold-headed noodles are too valuable for this old woman to accept. I just wanted you to take a look at them. After I've looked at them, you can take them home!"
"We have already entrusted Meizi's marriage to her fifth uncle and aunt!"
Liu Fangyu's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
Old Madam Guan wanted to laugh, but quickly interrupted Granny Qin: "Alright, that's enough. Be quiet now and don't say anything out of line. After we've dealt with this matter, I'll plead with Nong-ge'er's parents-in-law on your behalf."
"Mmm-hmm!" Granny Qin covered her mouth and nodded. She was terrified and dared not say another word.
Meanwhile, Shen Lu Niang took out a bottle of foul-smelling medicine, held it under Liu Zhengshi's nose to fumigate her, and then pressed an acupoint on the back of her neck.
"Phew!" Liu Zhengshi took a deep breath and woke up.
Wen Tao led Zheng Qianjia and Zheng Qianming forward and said, "Master Qin, Young Master Qin, the two young masters from the collateral branch of the Zheng family have arrived. We will take Liu Zhengshi away now."
He added, "Doctor Wen has already been punished. The Wen family has prepared an apology for his act of a servant pretending to be the master in dealing with the Qin family. It will be delivered to your residence tomorrow. Please forgive us, Master Qin and Young Master Qin."
Wen Tao was also scared... This Qin family is truly terrifying. Every time their powerful families tried to scheme against the Qin family, they would be met with immediate retribution.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and asked Wen Tao directly, "Won't there be any gossip about my Qin family or my Aunt Mei tomorrow?"
Wen Tao hurriedly smiled and assured him, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, Changji Pharmacy is strictly managed and will never allow anyone to spread rumors or gossip."
Qin Xiaomi smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's pretty good."
Mr. Wen Tao felt a chill run down his spine... Please stop laughing, your laughter is making me uneasy, I always feel like you have something else to say.
Sure enough, Qin Xiaomi asked again, "Then my Aunt Mei did the right thing, didn't she? After all, it was indeed improper for the Liu family mother and son to force her, a young lady, to give her jewelry, and it was offensive to her." Mr. Wen Tao wanted to die, but he still had to righteously support Qin Xiaomi's words: "The Qin and Liu families are not related, yet Liu Zhengshi insisted on giving the Qin family's daughter a golden clove brought by an outsider. This was indeed an act of deliberately confusing the public and tarnishing the Qin family's daughter's reputation."
He then said to the two nephews of the Zheng family, "You two nephews of the Zheng family, please state your position."
Uncle has already learned from his experience. You trust Uncle, so quickly agree with Qin's words and she will let us go. Otherwise, Qin will definitely make us suffer a great loss!
Zheng Qianjia and Zheng Qianming remained silent, worried, secretly cursing their bad luck, and wishing they could beat Liu Fangyu and his mother to death... We are just two collateral branches of the Zheng family, how dare we admit to this?
Admitting to it would be telling the world that the Zheng family was lax in its governance, allowing two servants to cause trouble outside and giving others leverage against them. If this got out, the powerful and influential families would laugh them to death.
What can you do if you don't acknowledge it?
Are we just going to let everyone here continue to laugh at us?
Zheng Qianjia, being older, said, "Changji Pharmacy's management is lax, causing trouble for Master Qin's family. I apologize to the Qin family and Miss Qin. Changji Pharmacy will offer an apology to the Qin family another day. Please forgive us for today's incident."
Qin Xiaomi frowned upon hearing this and said directly, "Stop talking nonsense, just one question: Did Liu Zhengshi and her son do anything wrong?!"
You rude and unruly woman! Our Zheng family has already publicly apologized. Is it really necessary for you to keep harping on whether or not we admit our mistake?
Qin Xiaomi: "Of course it's necessary. It concerns right and wrong, and we must discuss it clearly!"
"..." Zheng Qianjia was shocked. Did the Qin family girl have mind-reading abilities? After calming herself down, Zheng Qianjia finally took responsibility and solemnly said, "For someone who is not related to you, to take out a pair of gold cloves from the jewelry brought by an adult man and insist on giving them to an unmarried girl, does indeed seem to be disrespectful and manipulative towards you..."
"The Liu Zheng family and their son were at fault first, and Changji Pharmacy will definitely punish them severely without any leniency!"
In the end, Zheng Qianjia simply admitted it and made a promise in front of everyone.
Qin Xiaomi said, "It's your Zheng family and Changji Pharmacy's business to severely punish them. My Qin family just wants to know right from wrong, and now that we have, it's proven that the truth is on our side... You may leave now!"
This time, not to mention Wen Tao and Liu Fangyu, even Zheng Qianjia, Zheng Qianming, Master Lu, Kang Lang, and Kang Rong all felt like they were being choked and forced to admit their mistakes by the Qin family's daughter.
Zhong Baihu and the others wanted to applaud and cheer: "Qin Shi Nu is too strong! That's how she should be, so that she won't be schemed against and bullied by evil people!"
"Waaah, Mei-ya, Auntie didn't mean it! Auntie didn't think of that for a moment, please forgive Auntie... mmm!"
Before Liu Zhengshi could finish speaking, Zheng Qianjia ordered her servants to gag her with a wad of cloth.
Stop spouting nonsense! The Qin family women are fierce and ruthless, capable of killing bandits and spies. Do you think they're the kind of people who would listen to your ramblings? Just shut up!
Sure enough, Qin Xiaomi's complexion improved after Liu Zhengshi's mouth was gagged.
Mr. Wen Tao breathed a sigh of relief... Phew, good heavens, that mouth was shut just in time, otherwise who knows what the Qin family girl would have done to embarrass them.
I'm scared, I'm scared, let's get out of here!
"Young Master Qin, we'll take our leave now." Wen Tao said, and without waiting for Zheng Qianjia and the others, he stepped down from the platform first.
Zheng Qianjia and the others hurriedly ordered their servants to take Liu's mother and son away.
They had only taken a few steps when the sound of the gong rang out again.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Qin Xiaomi said, "Everyone, please be quiet. My aunt Mei has a few words to say!"
