Chapter 66: Slap in the face

"This Mu Qing is cunning, where are you her opponent."

It was Shen Shuang'er who was sitting opposite Mu Wan who said this.

Shen Shuang'er's face was a little disdainful, in her eyes, this Mu Wan's family didn't have much power, and she still wanted to bring down Mu Qing by herself?

"Why don't you give me that shop, and I'll figure out what to do."

Shen Shuang'er looked at Mu Wan, and what she said made Mu Wan stunned for a moment, yes, she didn't have the ability to bring down Mu Qing, but Miss Shen's family was the prime minister of the Shen family, if she made a move, where would Mu Qing still have the ability to continue to run her own shop.

Thinking of this, Mu Wan directly agreed.

After Shen Shuang'er got the shop, the first thing she did was to reorganize the shop, and relied on her father's power to find the best craftsmen in the capital to make jewelry for her shop.

Although the style is not as exquisite as the one in the wooden shop, it is highly expensive and the materials are expensive, so it is sought after by many rich ladies.

It was only two days after the shop opened, and Mu Qing got the news sent by Xin'er.

"Niangniang, I heard that the eldest lady's shop was taken over by the Shen family, and the Shen family's young lady made a batch of jewelry from the best shop in the capital, which was sought after by many young ladies."

Xin'er's tone was a little anxious, listening to this Shen Shuang'er's shop, he robbed their family of a lot of business.

"Don't worry, our business with Miss Shen is different, even if the loss of customers will not affect our most fundamental business, you don't have to worry so much."

Shen Shuang'er is doing the business of a lady from a big family, but what Mu Qing Shop is doing is not like this, it is the business of ordinary people.

It stands to reason that they will not interfere with each other.

So Mu Qing didn't pay too much attention to it for a while, but carefully told Cuicui and Ling'er two words, saying that it was just a matter of secretly staring at the movements over there, but in fact, there was no need to pay too much attention.

But I didn't expect that after less than half a month, Shen Shuang'er's shop had its own actions.

"How can the income be so small these days?"

Mu Qing looked at the account book sent by Xin'er, and his face couldn't help but feel a little colder.

In the past, there were thirty taels of silver at the worst time, and now there are only seven or eight taels of silver in the least.

It's hard to believe if something hadn't happened.

"Back to Niangniang's words, Miss Cuicui said yes, Miss Shen's shop has a batch of jewelry that is almost exactly the same as our jewelry, but the patterns and materials on it are much better than those made in our shop.

After Xin'er said this, Mu Qing stood up angrily, with a bit of anger on his face.

This Shen Shuang'er relied on the power of his family, and dared to bully his subordinates like this?

Mu Qing took Xin'er and Mama Chen, and went to the store in a hurry, the shop was deserted and terrible, only Ling'er sat on the counter alone, and Cuicui was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Cuicui?"

"...... You can be regarded as coming, Sister Cuicui was slapped twice by Miss Shen's subordinates, and her face was swollen all over. ”

Ling'er cautiously pointed to the room behind her, and Cuicui was resting inside.

"It's just unreasonable, she's just the daughter of a prime minister, but she acts arrogantly like a princess, if I don't teach her a lesson today, it's not Muqing."

She walked to Shen Shuang'er's shop on the opposite side in a few steps, and the little maid inside saw that it was Mu Qing coming, and she was still disdainful.

"Isn't this the third imperial concubine, what, come to us to buy jewelry, come, let the little one take you to see how the best jewelry in our shop is."

"Heh, the noble lady of the prime minister's family, the shop actually uses the hairpin I worked so hard to design, your young lady really has a face."

Mu Qing threw the design draft in his hand on the counter, and a few good customers picked it up and looked at it.

"Isn't this the plum hairpin I bought here yesterday, you see, isn't it exactly the same as the hairpin on this design draft?"

One of the ladies shouted, and the rest of the guests came over to take a look.

"yes...... I wanted to say it before, the hairpin in this shop is very similar to the hairpin in the shop of the three princesses before......"

The discussion in the crowd of onlookers became louder and louder, and the little guy was about to be unbearable, and a reprimand suddenly came from behind him.

"Shopkeeper, since it's the guest of honor and the third imperial concubine, why are you still talking at the door, why don't you come inside."

It was Shen Shuang'er, the culprit who made Mu Qing angry.

The expression on her face was very indifferent, at least Mu Qing couldn't reflect that guilty and embarrassed look at all.

"Miss, the Third Imperial Concubine said that you stole her design manuscript, and now you are making trouble."

The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Shuang'er in front of him in embarrassment, but Shen Shuang'er pretended not to know anything, but innocently covered her mouth.

"The Three Imperial Concubines, the things in your shop are the same as mine, I originally thought, maybe the Three Imperial Concubines like our family's jewelry, so they did this, but now the Three Imperial Concubines are the first to sue the wicked."

Hearing this, the onlookers didn't know what was going on, and now which one copied which one's style?

Not to be outdone, Mu Qing raised her head with a sneer and pointed to these manuscripts.

"This is where I ordered the people in my shop to send to Blacksmith Zhang, presumably you bought Blacksmith Zhang, I guess, if I invite Blacksmith Zhang over now, I will ask Blacksmith Zhang to slander me, saying that I stole Miss Shen's design."

How could Mu Qing not know her routines, with a bit of banter in her eyes, Mu Qing had already figured out the routines of people like hers.

I've read it hundreds of times in the book before I crossed over.

It's nothing more than buying the blacksmith.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qing broke his plan in one sentence, and Shen Shuang'er's face was a little unbearable, but she still pretended to be calm.

"I really don't know what the Third Imperial Concubine Niangniang will say, I know this blacksmith, after all, his skills are also the top in this capital, and if I ask him to make hairpins, it can be regarded as excusable."

Her words were impeccable, but Mu Qing had been prepared for a long time.

This batch of hairpins designed this time, she specially designed a complete set.

"Since Miss Shen said that the drawings were designed by Miss Shen herself, then Miss Shen must be very clear about all the jewelry."

Mu Qing laughed, this smile made Shen Shuang'er a little frightened.

"Nature...... That's right. ”

But there were more and more onlookers around, and she could only choose to admit it.

"In that case, then I asked Miss Shen, there are five hairpins in this batch of hairpins in a set, I don't know if Miss Shen knows which ones."

As soon as Mu Qing's words came out, the surroundings boiled.

What is called a set, there is no set in Miss Shen's shop.

Hearing this, Shen Shuang'er's body shook, she took a closer look at those hairpins, and naturally she was sure that Mu Qing would use this to embarrass her at that time, but she didn't expect Mu Qing to say such a thing.

She decided that everything was just Mu Qing's casual nonsense.

"Third Imperial Concubine, don't talk nonsense, there's no need to make up a set of rhetoric to slander our young lady for this kind of thing." The maid beside Shen Shuang'er couldn't help but say a word, but she was immediately scolded back by Mu Qing.

"Master speaks, is there a place for you to interject?"

Mu Qing gave Ling'er a look behind him.

Ling'er understood, and then immediately walked into Shen Shuang'er's shop, and selected five hairpins according to Mu Qing's instructions, and Mu Qing put the five hairpins on the counter and put them together, and suddenly showed a phoenix pattern.

Shen Shuang'er directly bribed the blacksmith and then got the design drawings, so she didn't know that there was this beauty in these jewelry.

"This, it's just a coincidence......"

Shen Shuang'er was completely panicked, she didn't expect Mu Qing to leave such a heart, now that so many people around her are watching, it can be said that she is embarrassed!

"Coincidence?"

Mu Qing gave up a position, and then exposed the pieced jewelry in front of everyone.

This is clearly the designer's intention, and you can see that it is intentional at a glance.

This Miss Shen said that she didn't know anything, and she could see at once who stole whose jewelry.

"This Miss Shen looks like a noble girl, how can she do such a thing."

"Yes, I actually went to steal the jewelry of the third princess, which is too much."

"Tsk, I didn't expect it to be this kind of person."

Hearing the accusations of the people around her, Shen Shuang'er's face turned pale, and she took a few steps back, originally thinking that her design this time would completely bring down Mu Qing, and even slandered Mu Qing for stealing her design in front of everyone, but Mu Qing saw through everything.

Is this woman really the useless vase Mu Qing that was legendary in the capital at the beginning!

"It's okay Niangniang, these three imperial concubines are inevitably too much, and they actually said Miss in front of so many people, your ......"

"Alright, don't say it!" Shen Shuang'er gritted her teeth fiercely, and the voices of the people outside were still drilling into her ears, "This time this Mu Qing is lucky, if there is a next time, I will definitely repay this grudge together, and I will definitely not make her a woman who feels good." ”

For Shen Shuang'er, the most important thing now is to let her father settle this matter, otherwise if the matter spreads, her reputation will really be ruined.

"Let's go back to the house quickly, otherwise if the matter gets bigger, my father won't be able to handle this matter."

The maid nodded hurriedly, supported her own lady, who was a little unsteady in her steps, and hurriedly returned to the prime minister's mansion from the back door of the shop.

And the shop opened by Shen Shuang'er was temporarily forced to close because of this farce, and it didn't open for several days, which made Mu Qing breathe a bad breath.
