Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1479 - 1417: Smash It for Me
Rongxiu Pavilion opened its doors for business as usual. In front of the shop, two carriages arrived, and someone jumped out from inside.
Lady Sun, the shopkeeper, immediately came out and saw the carriage emblem, belonging to Prince Wei’s Manor. She greeted them with a full smile. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The first to get off was a pretty girl, who curled her lips coldly upon seeing Lady Sun.
Seeing her expression, Lady Sun’s heart skipped a beat with a bad feeling, but her smile grew wider: "Miss..."
The girl snorted coldly: "Are they all out? Smash it for me!"
The servants and house servants who got off the carriage grabbed sticks and other things. Hearing the girl’s wave, they rushed forward immediately.
"Miss, Miss, what are you doing?" Lady Sun was shocked, quickly grabbing her arm, shouting sharply: "Miss, isn’t this some kind of misunderstanding? Our eldest young lady is a bosom friend of Princess Ping Xi!"
"Bah!" The girl spat, saying: "A mere daughter of a fifth-rank official’s family, dreaming of being a bosom friend with our Commandery Princess? Dream on!" She then commanded the people who came with her: "Smash it hard, otherwise, you won’t be able to explain to the Commandery Princess, and you’ll have to worry about your own skin."
"Yes."
The stout women and house servants swarmed into the store, frightening the people inside to run out. Those who rushed in pulled down the fabrics or ready-made clothes onto the ground, either stepping on them or tearing them apart.
Lady Sun almost fainted from watching, but she dared not do anything; she could only order someone to report to the Wu Family while trying to speak nicely to the pretty girl.
"Miss, let’s talk calmly, you can’t do this, Miss, hey hey, stop that, that’s Gold Brocade Satin!" Lady Sun saw one of the women tearing a brocade, her vision going black as she screamed: "Miss, you can’t do this, under the Son of Heaven’s feet, how can you despise the law!"
"The law?" The girl snorted heavily: "The clothes from your Rongxiu Pavilion are simply not up to standard, shoddy and rough, causing our Commandery Princess to lose face. Who else should we smash! Smash it hard, whatever happens, Prince Wei’s Manor will take responsibility."
Lady Sun was momentarily stunned: "What do you mean by shoddy work?"
"The Phoenix and Peony Skirt you sent to our Commandery Princess had buttons not even sewn on properly, wasn’t that intentional?"
Lady Sun cried out her innocence: "This must be a misunderstanding. Even if given a hundred bear hearts and leopard guts, Rongxiu Pavilion wouldn’t dare fool the Commandery Princess. The clothes sent to her are all carefully inspected and selected, not a single thread or line would be wrong. Miss, someone must have deliberately sabotaged us, this is all a misunderstanding, Miss."
"Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is for our Commandery Princess to decide." The girl eyed Lady Sun: "Now our Commandery Princess wants to vent her anger, your misfortune is your business!"
Lady Sun was about to faint with anger. This is power, this is status, even though her Host is from a fifth-rank official’s family, they are still nothing in front of someone with more noble status who can only suffer bullying.
"Miss, that’s enough, do you really want the Commandery Princess to bear a reputation of being domineering and arrogant?" Lady Sun stomped anxiously.
"How dare you discuss the Commandery Princess’s reputation behind her back!"
Lady Sun whimpered: "That’s not what I mean, it’s just what people say, I’m also thinking for the Commandery Princess, Miss. If there are any misunderstandings, our Host will definitely visit personally to apologize to the Commandery Princess. We mustn’t do anything that would sadden friends and please enemies."
It’s unclear whether it was Lady Sun’s explanation or the girl’s realization, but with a call, the crowd swarmed out again.
Lady Sun looked at the mess all over the shop, wanting to cry but with no tears, sitting weakly on the ground. What should be done now?
