Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 235 Who is blackmailing?

"Did you see it? The eyes of the masses are sharp. No one else saw it, but you did."

"Is there sand in your eyes?

"Or are you trying to blackmail me?"

Speaking of the word "blackmail", Lin Daiyu took two steps forward, bent down to pick up a velvet flower from the ground, blew away the dust on the velvet flower, and gestured to the people around her.

This is living proof of blackmail.

"You're talking nonsense. How could I have the scar on my face without the eagle claw?"

"Did I scratch myself?" Uncle Xue looked hideous and scary despite the bloodstains on his face.

He roared, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but sigh. She really didn't want to quarrel with such a person, which would invisibly lower her own style.

But some people are born to be mean and they just want to provoke you.

How to do?

Lin Daiyu slapped the velvet flower into Zijuan's hand and said to Master Xue, "Who are you asking about the wound on your face?"

"Except for yourself, that is, your own people, everyone else is almost ten feet away from you."

"Everyone else is clean, but you have blood on your hands. Who else do you want to frame?"

"Did you scratch it yourself? Don't you know?"

Lin Daiyu's voice was clear and confident.

"You, you, you...are looking for death," Uncle Xue was furious and struggled forward with his two bloody hands.

I just want to give this girl a face full of flowers.

Jia Zhen, who was standing on the steps, was initially attracted by the blood on Young Master Xue's face.

Who hurt this?

At this moment, he looked at the girl facing him. Hey! She looked so familiar.

Could this be the girl from the Lin family?

If this was the girl from the Lin family, it would be like a flood flushing the Dragon King Temple, and the big fool Xue would get scratched for nothing.

Thinking of this, he stopped Young Master Xue loudly.

"Brother Xue, wait a minute."

Then he turned to Lin Daiyu, his eyes revealing a trace of inquiry, "The lady opposite, is your surname Lin?

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she thought to herself that it was not good, she had been recognized.

On second thought, what’s the problem with recognizing him?

You are in cahoots with each other to bully men and women. I cannot go along with you, especially at this moment, with so many people watching.

I'm talking to you about relatives.

What's going on? It affects my personality.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu ignored Jia Zhen's questions.

On the contrary, Xue the fool who was about to take action looked back at Jia Zhen.

"Brother Zhen, what do you mean?"

Jia Zhen was waiting for Lin Daiyu's answer, but Lin Daiyu ignored him and didn't even look at him. She just stared at the maids picking up the velvet flowers on the ground.

Watch them pick them all up and put them in the box.

Lin Daiyu took the box in her hands.

He said to Jia Zhen and another stranger, "Is this something from your store?"

"The mad dog that just caught itself said it bought it from you."

"I spent 10,000 taels of silver, and he insisted on stealing my gold melon seeds worth 20,000 taels of silver."

"Earth and metal are mutually exclusive. My golden melon seeds will disappear when they meet earth. They destroyed me."

"He should have compensated me 10,000 taels."

Having said this, Lin Daiyu sighed softly.

"But I have a kind heart, so I gave him the golden melon seeds that had lost their golden nature."

"This velvet flower belongs to me. I'll just take the loss. I won't argue with a madman."

"I can't carry so many flowers. Since these are from your store, I'll return them to you. Just give me the 10,000 taels!"

"You are such a big store, you can't just refuse to honor the order and refuse to accept refunds or exchanges, right?"

Lin Daiyu was holding the jewelry box and talking calmly.

The people around, the patrolling yamen runners, Jia Zhen, Xue Dashazi and others were all stunned, and no one spoke for a while.

Who is blackmailing?

After a while, someone whispered, "What they said is right!"

“Don’t you recycle the items in your store?”

"We haven't gone too far yet. We're right under the sign!"

"You can't deny the credit for such a big store, right?"

The surrounding environment seemed to be quiet, and all eyes were focused on Jia Zhen and Wang Ren, waiting for their response.

Jia Zhen was a little hesitant now. He was indeed not sure whether the girl opposite him was from the Lin family.

But he looked carefully at Lin Daiyu's maids and saw that two of them looked familiar.

But this is the embarrassing thing now, people don’t recognize it.

He turned to Wang Ren beside him and tried to push this difficult problem to him, "Brother Ren, this is your Wang family's store, what do you think we should do about this?"

Before Wang Ren could speak, Uncle Xue could no longer suppress his anger. His voice was like an enraged beast, roaring: "What are you looking at? That's mine, how did it become yours?"

"Give me the thing!" Uncle Xue glared at Lin Daiyu, and the anger in his eyes seemed to devour her.

Although there was blood on his face, he seemed to have forgotten the pain and was left with only anger towards Lin Daiyu.

The inexplicable naughty bird caught me, and even the velvet flower became yours after you talked a few words into it.

I might as well just pee and drown myself.

Lin Daiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him and just wanted to see if this velvet flower could be exchanged for money.

If you can't change it, I'll just stay here and auction it off.

I can only suppress my own anger with money.

Wang Ren frowned and looked at the people around him, "Brother Xue, this is a bit deceptive!"

I thought to myself, this thing can’t be bought with that much money.

But he couldn't admit this trap. Thinking of this, he said to Lin Daiyu, "Who told you that this silk flower cost 10,000 taels of silver?"

"We still have this in our store, which is two hundred taels of silver."

"Can you trust what a blackmailer says?"

Lin Daiyu blinked her eyes. Oh! With just one mouthful, ten thousand taels became two hundred taels. The value depreciated too fast.

He's even more cruel than me, do you think I can give him away for free?

Thinking of this, she asked Wang Ren,

"Where are those two bastards in your shop? They said that!"

Lin Daiyu looked around but couldn't see anyone. Did the two boys run away when they saw that the situation was not good?

Okay, okay, okay, you are openly covering up for this.

While Lin Daiyu was thinking, Qingwen came over and said a few words to her with her head lowered.

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, "Can you really do it?"

Qingwen nodded.

Lin Daiyu raised the corner of her mouth and told her servants to go buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

In an instant, pen, ink, paper and inkstone arrived.

Lin Daiyu shouted to the yamen runners around her, "Brother yamen runners, there are two accomplices of the blackmailer in this store."

"Now he's on the run."

"I'm going to draw them both now."

"It also allows everyone to know the true face of unscrupulous businessmen."

After she finished speaking, she saw Qingwen find a flat place to paint her portrait.

Naturally, there were some curious people around who had seen the two boys.

He watched Qingwen paint and marveled at her.

The painting really looks like those two guys.

Absolutely!

Yes, yes, yes, I saw it too, it was those two guys.

One fat and one thin.

In the past, only scholars painted in public, and it was a rare thing for a pretty girl to paint.

Naturally, more and more people gather.

In a short while, Qingwen had finished drawing the two people.

Handed it to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu asked the tall guard to lift it up.

Facing the crowd and the yamen runners, he asked,

"Everyone, are these two guys?"

"Yes." Everyone answered in unison, and it was set in stone.

No one cared what these two guys did specifically.

……

That's enough. Lin Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, for she was afraid she would ask the wrong question.

Because these two people did not say ten thousand taels.

The ten thousand taels were mentioned by Mr. Xue.

"Boss Wang, let these two people come out!"

"We saw these two people hiding in your store with our own eyes."

"Otherwise you can just accept the velvet flower worth ten thousand taels of silver."

"You can't bully customers just because your store is big, right?"

"We have so many eyes watching us!"

Wang Ren clenched his fists in anger, these two nosy guys.

They are just two servants, and they are not worth ten thousand taels even if they are sold.

The most hateful ones are the fool Xue and Jia Zhen.

I was hunting for beauty at my doorstep, but unexpectedly I bumped into a cactus.

I can't pay this money. If I do, my uncle will beat me to death.

So he made a quick judgment.

"Brother Xue, this is your business, you should spend money to solve it!"

When Xue Dasha heard this, he thought, what's the matter? I bought the thing with my own money, and now I have to spend a hundred times the price to buy it back.

I was disfigured when I rode a horse.

His head twitched as he thought about it, did you really think I was a fool?

But if he didn't do it, with so many people watching him and he still had a criminal record, he didn't dare let the bailiffs arrest him again.

Xue Pan's eyes rolled around and a plan came to his mind.
