Chapter 104: Cool Heart
These scenes!
Xie Yuchuan's pupils were about to tremble and his heart sank.
"My Lord... We seem to be late. Has Miss Shen resolved everything?"
"There was quite a big commotion in this shop before, how come it was resolved so easily? Miss Shen, there was no need for you to do anything at all..." The servant realized that he had said the wrong thing after he finished speaking.
He quickly looked up and saw that Xie Yuchuan's face was getting darker and darker.
The servant wanted to slap himself twice on the spot. Why didn't he think before speaking?
The Marquis deliberately delayed for two quarters of an hour and came slowly on the way, just to see Miss Shen's embarrassing and helpless look, and then come to her rescue as a hero.
He said Miss Shen doesn't need the Marquis!
Isn't this obviously stabbing the Marquis in the heart?
Xie Yuchuan pursed his lips tightly, gritted his teeth and sneered angrily. He never expected this scene to happen: "Go and find out who helped Shen Wei solve these troubles."
"I don't believe that no one will help. Weiwei can solve those troubles. Even if the refugees' disturbances are solved, it is impossible for the young ladies from various mansions to come and patronize us!"
"There must be another reason!"
"If she dares to help Shen Wei, she is going against me."
The servant ran to ask the people around him for the news, and soon the news was revealed.
After hearing that it was Miss Lu from the Prime Minister's Mansion who came in person to buy the longevity cake and stayed for quite a while, the maids from the other mansions who were hiding in the dark could see it clearly.
Xie Yuchuan's face froze, and then became even uglier.
How could it be the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
Why would Miss Lu from the Prime Minister's Mansion help Shen Wei?
Is she crazy!
How could a daughter of the prime minister, who was of noble status, be mixed up with Shen Wei? Did she not care about her reputation and face? Wasn't she afraid that the women in the various mansions would secretly talk about her?
"Damn it!"
"No wonder young ladies from all the mansions dare to come and patronize us. The Lu family's legitimate daughter's status in the capital is second only to that of the royal family. Now that she's here, those young ladies who want to come will definitely not hold back!"
"boom!"
Xie Yuchuan angrily punched the car window.
Then he lowered the curtain with a cold look in his eyes, and murmured in what he thought was deep affection: "Weiwei, there is no help without reason in this world. I am the only one who dotes on her the most."
"Why don't you understand? One day, you will know that I am the only one you can rely on! No one else can help you."
"Return to the Marquis' Mansion."
He knew that Shen Wei was in high spirits at the moment and business was booming. If he went in at this time, he would only get into trouble. She would definitely not listen to him.
Let Shen Wei indulge in being a shopkeeper for a few days.
As his woman, you don't need to know how to make money, nor do you need to go out and start a career or family business. It is enough for you to just stay in the backyard honestly.
He could pamper Shen Wei, or let Shen Wei act unreasonably to compete for favor and love, but! He could never allow Shen Wei to escape from his control and no longer depend on him.
Because Xie Yuchuan has been feeling vaguely uneasy lately. Once Shen Wei's wings become stronger, perhaps he will no longer be needed...or perhaps, he will no longer belong to her.
"Ms. Shen, you really don't know how to do business. Today is the first day you opened the store, and you have no longevity cakes to sell." A person who looked like a maid said dissatisfiedly.
Shen Wei smiled back and answered patiently: "I'm really sorry, because the longevity cake must be made fresh to be delicious, so we don't have too much ready stock."
"As you can see, there are too many people coming to buy today. Look, there is a page of records for those who came in the afternoon."
"I'm sorry, but it's only available tomorrow. Do you want to order the longevity cake for tomorrow?"
The lady wearing a curtain beside her pursed her lips and whispered something to the maid, who nodded and said, "Okay, then order the longevity cake for tomorrow."
"I want a fruit cake and a Black Forest cake."
Shen Wei lowered his head and registered the amount. As he wrote, he said, "Two cakes cost a total of six taels of silver. Please pay."
"I've never seen business done this way. I have to pay money before I even get the goods." The maid complained, and after the young lady nodded in agreement, she paid the money reluctantly.
