120 Exposed

If so many people weren’t watching them, First Elder would have rushed up and personally taught Chu Liuyue a lesson. Her arrogant attitude made his blood boil and almost explode. “Lu Yao, you’ve always been in charge of the family’s items. Go and check the list against theirs. Give them everything they should have, nothing more.”

Lu Yao was frightened by First Elder’s holler and subconsciously agreed when she saw his face filled with anger. “… Yes.”

First Elder did not think this was enough as he shouted at the other managers. “The few of you, follow them and keep a close eye on them! Don’t miscalculate the accounts!”

The few of them hurriedly agreed.

Lu Yao’s entire body tensed up, and her footsteps were heavy. However, she knew that she had to obey First Elder, no matter how reluctant she was in her heart.

On the other side, the Zhen Bao Pavilion Manager duo had already started the battle and was checking the items based on the list given to them.

“One pair of eight-colored glass cups, two sets of jade December accessories, a pair of gilt horse pots, two colored Chinese harps—”

“Her character is really the same as last time…” Low laughter bellowed from behind the curtains. “Did you send all those people over?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ge bowed and courteously said, “Yes, Master. Madam came to Zhen Bao Pavilion early in the morning and said she wanted to borrow some people. I didn’t expect…”

At that point in time, he was still very confused and did not know what Chu Liuyue wanted to do with a manager. Who knew she wanted to cause trouble for the Chu family? Yan Ge was pretty experienced and had seen quite a few scenes, but it was his first time observing such a debacle.

Chu Liuyue was obviously chasing a debt. The point was that her debt was logical, and the Chu family could not deny it.

The Chu family had power in numbers. Therefore, Chu Liuyue would definitely die a horrible death if she went alone. Hence, she found a few people and explained the incident in public, causing a big scene. This would then force the Chu family to follow her words since they cared about their reputation. After all, the Chu family still wanted to live in the Imperial City.

“You did well for this.”

Yan Ge was shocked upon hearing his master’s praises. He had followed his master for many years, and such compliments were very rare. He greatly benefited since his master was extremely happy with him because he had sent a few people to help Chu Liuyue. “Thank you for the compliment, Master, but I really didn’t do much. It was all Madam’s plan.”

The person behind the curtain seemingly shook his head and smiled. “Of course, only she could think of such an idea. She’s also the only one who can do it so cleanly.” If it were someone else, they would not dare to go against the Chu family alone.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Yan Ge thought for a while and could not help but say, “Master, Madam seems to be unsure of your identity. She also doesn’t know about the things you’ve done for her. Do you want…”

Upon sensing all the stares, Lu Yao’s face became as white as a sheet, and her entire figure trembled as if she was a leaf on a tree that could be easily blown away in the middle of a thunderstorm. If she could, she really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Every single second and minute here was torture.

Chu Liuyue held her chin with one hand as her gaze swept across the fake goods taken out in a seemingly smiling manner. “It seems like your family had a great life for the past few years. No wonder Chu Xianmin is so willing to buy an accessory worth more than 200,000 silver taels casually. Not everyone can buy something made from red jade.”

Lu Yao wanted to rush up and rip Chu Liuyue’s mouth apart. How dare she talk about that? That was clearly a trap she set for Minmin. She has even distorted the truth now.

However, before Lu Yao could say anything, she felt the increasingly furious gazes from the surrounding Chu family members.

Her heart sank as she knew that they believed Chu Liuyue’s words. How would they still believe her after all those fake items were taken out?

Even if Chu Liuyue did not say anything, they probably already wanted to kill Lu Yao.

Time trickled past, and Chu Liuyue remained sitting on the chair in a relaxed manner.

Manager Wu had even specifically brought her tea and exquisite snacks in between in case she got hungry.
