The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

484 Background, Collecting the Shophouse (3)

Everyone was in an uproar.

Oh, the Shen family’s gossip was delicious.

The shopkeeper naturally heard the discussions outside. When he looked at Shen Yijia again, the smile on his face was no longer there, but he still pretended to cup his hands at Shen Yijia. “So it’s Second Miss. I was blind. Why are you here today?”

Shen Yijia said, “This shop is mine. I came to my own shop. What do you think I want?”

Panic flashed across the shopkeeper’s face. “Second Miss, you really know how to joke. How can this be your shop? Although your surname is also Shen, you’re already a married woman. There’s no reason for a married woman to occupy her maiden shop in Great Xia.”

Back then, as soon as Madam Chen received the title deed, she changed the original people in the shop for various reasons.

That was when he took over. He naturally knew that the original owner of this shop was Madam Wang.

However, more than ten years had passed. He was certain that Shen Yijia had no evidence to prove it. As soon as he spoke, he labeled her as someone who wanted to invade her family’s business.

This shopkeeper probably did not expect Madam Chen to be so magnanimous. She had not changed the name on the deed for more than ten years.

He also did not expect these deeds to fall into Shen Yijia’s hands.

Therefore, when Shen Yijia took out two contracts with the seal of the government, he was dumbfounded.

Shen Yijia handed the contract to Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan understood and raised the two contracts to the surrounding commoners so that they could see it.

Some literate people read the words out loud on the spot, especially when they heard the name Wang Ruxuan.

Shen Yijia swore that she was not the one who invited those people.

The surrounding commoners were in an uproar again. Wasn’t it the Shen family’s shop? And who was Wang Ruxuan?

Shen Yijia cleared her throat and put on a show. “My mother left this shop to me when she was alive. When she left, I was still young. Lord Shen said that he would help me manage it. Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed. Not only did he not give me a single bit of the profits from the shop, but he also wanted to occupy it. I originally thought that since he was my father, I would take it as me showing my filial piety to him, but what he did really disappointed me.”

After saying that, the drama queen took out a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears. Her small shoulders trembled. No matter how one looked at it, she was crying badly.

She had learned this from the Shen family, but she also realized that beating people up was only suitable when no one was watching. On the surface, this move was still the best.

As soon as she cried, the commoners stood up to help her scold the Shen family. She didn’t even need to rack her brains to think of words.

“This Shen family is too much. Isn’t this bullying? She lost her mother long ago.”

“He’s worse than a beast. Second Miss is so filial. Look at what the head of the Shen family has done.”

“You’re insulting an animal by comparing it to him. Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs.”

“Pfft, if I die one day, I won’t let them off even if I become a ghost.”

“I heard that the head of the Shen family was only a poor scholar back then. It was Second Miss’s family who paid for his studies to get in. In the end, as soon as he got in, he married a young lady from a wealthy family.”

This was something that Shen Pingxiu had done more than ten years ago. Therefore, it was not that everyone had a bad memory, but they had temporarily forgotten about it when no one mentioned it.

More and more people were denouncing Shen Pingxiu and Madam Chen. Some people even asked Shen Yijia if the Shen family’s name was also hanging in a shop.

There were also people who advised her earnestly, “You can’t be stupid. That kind of family is unreliable. It’s better to keep these things in your hands. Why would you let that adulterous couple benefit from the things your mother left for you?”

Shen Yijia almost couldn’t help but look up and laugh.

The shopkeeper was completely flustered. He glanced at the errand boy and asked him to return to the Shen family to ask what to do.

Unfortunately, there were so many people outside. Someone saw him arguing with the court official and he was caught before he could walk out.

Seeing that the situation was about right, the drama queen sniffed and bowed to everyone. “I’ll remember all the uncles and aunties’ words. I’ll listen to you. I won’t let those people from the Shen family take advantage of me again.”

Everyone felt that something was wrong. Why did she listen to them? Didn’t she say that she wanted to take back her shop first?

However, on careful thought, Shen Yijia only said that this shop belonged to her from the beginning to the end. She did not say what she was here for.

This was awkward.

The drama queen continued to work hard and rubbed the corners of her eyes. “Everyone is a good person who speaks up for justice. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything to thank everyone for. Each of you can enter the shop and choose something that suits you. Take it as my thank-you gift to everyone.”

“Second Miss, you can’t do that. Even if this shop and the deed are yours, these things are not.”

With the deeds, he could not refute. Now, he wanted to keep these goods or stall until the Shen family sent someone over.

The drama queen looked at the restless commoners and said with a troubled expression, “But even if we just rented out these shops, that rent money from the past ten years should be more valuable than these goods.”

“You…” The shopkeeper was speechless. Every inch of land in the capital was worth more than that.

“Second Miss is right. These things should be yours.”

It belonged to Second Miss Shen, so she had the right to give it to them. Even a fool knew who to speak up for.

Shen Yijia nodded in agreement. “Then come in and choose. However, you can only take one each!”

At first, some people were too embarrassed to come in and take it, but there were always people who wanted to take advantage of others. As soon as Shen Yijia finished speaking, people rushed into the shop. Seeing this, the others did not dare to hesitate. If they hesitated any longer, they would not be able to snatch anything.

The shop was instantly filled with people. Before the shopkeeper could say anything, he was drowned out by the crowd.

Shen Yijia said, “By the way, my mother left the Glittering Pavilion for me too. You can go to that store and take what you want.”
