485 An Expert at Courting Death (1)
It was not that Madam Chen did not expect Shen Yijia to ask her for the shop with those contracts, but she did not expect Shen Yijia to be so simple and direct.
Coupled with the fact that she had yet to recover from her injuries and that something had happened to Shen Ruyun, she did not have the time to deal with this issue yet.
Therefore, when the two shopkeepers knelt in front of her and cried, she was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.
“B*tch, that b*tch.” Madam Chen angrily swept the teacup on the table to the ground and said angrily, “So the two of you let her give it away?”
The two shopkeepers cowered and stammered. They wanted to stop the crowd, but there were so many people. One spit from each of them could drown them.
The contract was in black and white. What could they do?
At that time, not snatching things with others was their last loyalty to Madam Chen.
In fact, those people knew them and did not let them touch those goods at all.
The shopkeeper of the Golden Jade House at least knew the ins and outs of the matter and could say a few words to defend himself.
The shopkeeper of the Glittering Jewels Pavilion was stunned the entire time. He was checking the accounts in the shop when a group of people suddenly surged in, claiming that the owner of the shop had asked them to come.
It was only when the shop was in a mess that he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Madam Chen was so angry that her chest heaved and her nails dug into her palms.
It seemed that those things did not belong to the little b*tch, so the little b*tch’s heart did not ache, right?
She had really underestimated that b*tch in the past.
Madam Chen had been thinking about it recently. The childless medicine that she had given Madam Wang back then was brought out of the palace by her mother. There was definitely no problem with it.
Madam Wang must have avoided some doses. Who would have thought that the usually gentle and weak b*tch would be so shrewd?
It was the same for Shen Yijia. Back in the residence, she was so submissive, but in the end, she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
They were indeed mother and daughter. They were not easy to deal with.
“Madam, what should we do now?” Seeing that Madam Chen did not speak for a long time, the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade House could only muster his courage and ask.
Madam Chen still had a veil on her head. Even if they could not see her face clearly, the two of them knew that she would definitely not look good.
Madam Chen said coldly, “What should we do? Can you report it to the officials or snatch it back?”
It was useless to report it to the authorities. Wang Ruxuan’s name was written on the shop.
According to the laws of Great Xia, if a woman died, this dowry could only be inherited by her biological children. If there were no children, it would be inherited by her own family. There was no reason for her husband’s family to take it.
If this matter really got out, they would be in the wrong.
Now that things had become like this, unless Shen Yijia died and Madam Wang’s family had no one left in it, they would not be able to take back these two shops.
Moreover, the Chen family had just sent someone to remind her yesterday that the emperor’s birthday was imminent and the envoy was still around. If she did not have the confidence to hit the jackpot with one strike, she could not act rashly and cause trouble again.
However, after these few confrontations, she realized that Shen Yijia was slippery. It was impossible.
Therefore, she could not do anything to Shen Yijia now.
She couldn’t beat her physically, or hurt her with words while recuperating.
The shopkeeper naturally knew that it was difficult to get the shop back, but he did not expect even Madam Chen to be helpless. “This…”
Madam Chen took a deep breath. Thinking of the money and contracts that Shen Yijia had stolen, she gritted her teeth and said, “The two of you go to Qingyang City and take my father’s letter. You have to get Judge Liu Tong to transfer those shops to my name before that little b*tch changes the ownership.”
The shopkeeper looked at each other. Even the contract for the shop over there had fallen into Shen Yijia’s hands?
Thinking of Shen Yijia’s swift and decisive actions, the two of them did not dare to delay any longer and quickly agreed to leave.
Madam Chen gritted her teeth and said, “I really regret letting that little b*tch live back then.”
The nanny at the side advised, “Who would have thought that a little girl could hide it so well?
“Madam, bear with it for now. After the emperor’s birthday, Master will definitely seek justice for you.”
Thinking that her maternal family could still be relied on, Madam Chen’s mood improved a little.
Seeing that she had listened, the nanny went out and called for a maidservant to clean up the mess on the ground. She put on a new teacup. “You can’t be angry now. If you’re angry, you’ll harm your body and benefit that little tramp.”
Madam Chen did not allow the people around her to call Shen Yijia Second Miss. Everyone called her nasty nicknames.
