Li Haitang smiled sarcastically, knowing that Zhang Ruyue was incompetent. She thought she could escape by pretending to be faint. In the final analysis, she gave in at the critical moment.

She didn't bother to say too much, so she asked the female clerk to go to the shop and bring out a basin of cold water.

The female clerk didn't know why, but she still did as she was told.

"Pour it on her face." Li Haitang ordered in a cold voice, pointing at Zhang Ruyue who was pretending to be dazed, and said to the ladies and ladies who were watching, "Miss Zhang Ruyue insisted that it was the rouge and gouache from my Yaohuazhai shop that caused the accident. Her appearance was ruined. Out of morality, Yaohuazhai compensated her with thirty thousand taels of silver.

. "

Thirty thousand taels was a huge amount of money in Kyoto. The dowry of a high-ranking lady was already very expensive if it had a bottom of eighteen thousand taels.

Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. Everyone learned that Zhang Ruyue was framed by Yaohuazhai, but they didn't know that Yaohuazhai actually compensated him with so much money.

Everyone present was not stupid, and some things could not be explained clearly. Yaohuazhai's move was quite meant to calm things down, but Zhang Ruyue seemed dissatisfied and did not want to let go.

At this moment, the way everyone looked at Zhang Ruyue changed.

Just now everyone thought that Yaohua Zhai said he would pay compensation, but the money had not yet reached Zhang Ruyue's hands.

Zhang Ruyue was lying on the ground and almost sat up. She couldn't stand up now, nor could she continue to pretend to be faint.

When he was anxious, his eyes rolled under his eyelids, Zhang Ruyue's mind was running fast, thinking hard, thinking of countermeasures.

She felt so hateful that the usually clever maid was not saying a word now, so who was going to stop her?

Zhang Ruyue is confident in her skills. On the day she broke off the engagement, she let the dandy see her face at close range, but he was immediately scared away. Her disguise could withstand closer inspection, but it may not be able to Withstood the test of a basin of cold water.

"There is so much peach gum stuck on her face to disguise it as a pustule. Ms. Zhang is really desperate."

Li Haitang directly pointed out that the pus on Zhang Ruyue's face was peach gum.

At this time, the onlookers screamed in shock, especially Mrs. Zhen. After realizing it, she was immediately angry. Was she deceived by the white lotus-like Miss Zhang?

"You bitch, tell me, what's going on?"

Mrs. Zhen didn't look at Zhang Ruyue and attacked Zhang Ruyue's maid.

A basin of water was poured down, and the truth came out. The maid shivered, her face was ashen, and she muttered, "Slave... I don't know this!"

One sentence is tantamount to exposing one's own trump card. The crowds are all human beings. What else can't you understand?

Next, before Zhang Ruyue could react, a basin of water was poured down, and the sticky stuff on Zhang Ruyue's face was washed away one after another, revealing a fair cheek.

The top is as smooth as ever, with no signs of redness, swelling or pus?

Someone let out an exclamation, and then more and more ladies and ladies expressed their anger at being fooled.

Zhang Ruyue has really disgraced the face of a high-ranking lady in Kyoto. Touching porcelain, this is touching porcelain!

"The new owner of Yaohua Zhai, we misunderstood you, we are very sorry."

When Mrs. Zhen saw this, she was the first to apologize to Li Haitang, while the rest of the people around her couldn't help but twitch their lips.

"Oh, I didn't expect the Zhang family to be so poor. They would give up their reputation just to get porcelain!"

"You don't know yet, right? Zhang Ruyue's father is a bastard and a bad gambler!"

The dandies whistled and said humiliating words, which made Zhang Ruyue, who was lying on the ground, feel humiliated for the first time. At this moment, she really wanted to hang herself at the door of Yaohua Zhai.

"Miss Zhang's business was just for money, but she allowed Yaohua Zhai to go from a crowded place to a deserted place in a short period of time. The loss is irreparable."

Li Haitang talked about the current situation of the shop and decided to close it for a few days. She will make other plans whether Yaohua Zhai will change its business in the future.

The main reason is that there is no capable shopkeeper, no one to rely on, and she can't keep an eye on it all the time.

Zhang Ruyue's trouble just exposed the shortcomings of the shop, and Li Haitang began to pay more attention to it.

"Isn't Yaohua Zhai open?"

Facts have proved that the pustules on Zhang Ruyue's face were caused by herself. No one among the ladies and ladies asked for a refund. On the contrary, they felt extremely ashamed that they were being manipulated and led around.

"Let's go in and buy the gouache from Yaohua Zhai, just in case..."

Mrs. Zhen suggested, and everyone looked at each other and rushed into the shop to buy. The female waiters who had stayed behind were busy running around.

Li Haitang and Fang Shaoyao both went in to help and stood at the counter to collect money. Yaohua Zhai's inventory was sold out.

Outside the door, Zhang Ruyue said bitterly. Now, she had completely lost her face, and she had to continue to think of her own way out.

Unfortunately, before she could think more, the official from Jingzhaoyi Yamen came to arrest her, and she and the maid were taken into the Yamen.

Li Haitang's attitude was firm. She didn't care how Zhang Zheng solved the case. Anyway, what happened today would spread throughout the streets in a short time.

The only requirement is that she must spit out the 30,000 taels of silver she took away!

As for the loss of the shop, she could ignore it because of her friendship with the Zhang family. After all, her identity was not disclosed and she didn't want to offend too many people. She just regarded it as repayment for Zhang Zheng's previous help.

Before Mrs. Zhen left, she took Li Haitang's hand and said seriously, "I never thought that a young lady from a high-ranking family in Kyoto would do something worse than a scoundrel in the city. This time I am narrow-minded."

In order to express her apology, Mrs. Zhen planned to invite Li Haitang to her house as a guest, preparing an apology table to express her sincerity.

"You're welcome. Actually, this is human nature."

In Li Haitang's eyes, Mrs. Zhen was an upright person, and he nodded friendly to her.

"Haitang, just go. You have to know that the chef at her house is quite famous. If you don't want to eat that banquet, don't waste the opportunity. I'll go for you!"

Fang Shaoyao blinked and joked to lighten the atmosphere.

If you want to gain a foothold in Kyoto, you must establish your own social circle. People of the Zhen family are loyal. If we can get to know each other through this opportunity, the road ahead will definitely be smoother.

When Li Haitang saw what Fang Shaoyao said, she had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, she would not give him face if he would sincerely admit his mistake, which would make her appear petty.

After everyone leaves. The few guys who still stuck around cleaned the Yaohua Zhai and wiped even a chair many times.

This is a place where everyone has been working for a long time, and they are reluctant to leave.

"Don't be downcast, I'm just letting you rest for a few days, and you will come back later."

The few people who stayed behind, whether out of feelings for the shop or something else, were at least responsible. It was not easy to hire such guys.

Li Haitang couldn't find anyone with good character for a while, so he might as well just use these people.

"Will you come back?" The eyes of the female waiter who went out first lit up. Do they still have such a chance?
