Chapter 243 The Governor Gets Angry
Mrs. He smiled and replied, "Yes, such a good shop, I naturally won't keep it for myself. Good things should be taken out and shared with everyone."
Even if people later discovered that this was Shen Wanning's shop, it wouldn't matter. Instead, they would patronize this shop more often just to curry favor with Shen Wanning.
After the greetings, everyone went back to browsing the shops. There were so many people in the shop, Shen Wanning and Madam He went to the second floor to take a look before leaving.
To be honest, Shen Wanning only knew that business would be good, but she didn't expect it to be so popular. Even they couldn't squeeze in.
Fortunately, this popularity will not last too long. The customer flow will gradually decrease and then stabilize at a certain value.
But with so many customers now, it seems she needs to hurry up and make the essential oils. She had already sent someone to Daqing Village to transport the soap a few days ago, and it should arrive today.
The group found a teahouse and sat down. Madam He said, "I never expected Sister Wan Ning's business to be so prosperous. We almost couldn't squeeze in."
"This is all thanks to my sister-in-law. If she hadn't promoted the essential oils for me, I wouldn't have such good business today." Shen Wanning said gratefully.
"Yesterday, a lady asked me about the fragrance of my osmanthus, and I just told her the truth. Besides, even if I didn't say it, my sister would have found a way to introduce it to them yesterday. I just interrupted her in advance." Mrs. He said.
"No matter what, it was my sister-in-law who helped promote this shop. Wan Ning is very grateful."
Mrs. He chuckled and said bluntly, "There's no need for us to push each other around. If you really want to thank me, why not give me some more of those essential oils and soaps?"
"Of course. I have prepared ten bottles of essential oils and ten boxes of soap for my sister-in-law. I don't know what scent she likes, so I prepared five bottles each of osmanthus scent and rose scent." Shen Wanning said with a smile.
Then, Madam He sighed, "I had originally planned to stay in Fuzhou for another day and return tomorrow. But I just thought about it and realized that given my husband's personality, he might be worried. So after lunch, we'll set off back to the county town."
"If sister-in-law wants to stay in Fuzhou for a few more days, that's fine. I'll have my servants go to the county town and send a message to Brother He, saying that I want you to stay for a few more days. I'll accompany you and Zhenzhen to stroll around the city."
"Forget it, let's come back next time and spend a few more days. Your shop has just opened and business is very busy. Asking you to come out today has already delayed a lot of your time, so how can I let you accompany me to play?" Mrs. He said politely.
"Sister-in-law, it's too polite to say that. Aunt Gui and the others are busy in the shop. Even if I go there, I can't help. I will just look at the account book occasionally at night." Shen Wanning replied.
Mrs. He still refused, "Forget it, Zhenzhen is still young, and she can't sleep well in a new place. She woke up several times in the middle of the night yesterday. Look, even at such a young age, you can see two dark circles under her eyes."
He Zhenzhen was secretly eating osmanthus cake. Mrs. He brought the topic to her, and she quickly withdrew her hand and dared not eat anymore.
Shen Wanning smiled and said, "Forget it, then I won't keep my sister-in-law. But my sister-in-law can't refuse me for lunch again."
"Okay, now that your shop is making money, I won't feel bad about eating your food." Mrs. He said with a smile.
Then, Madam He changed the subject and continued, "Yesterday, Madam Huang argued with you in front of so many people. I was a little worried that they would make things difficult for you."
"It's okay. I can handle minor fights. As for big moves, they don't dare." Shen Wanning replied confidently.
If the Emperor heard what happened yesterday, he would definitely punish the Governor. However, Shen Wanning didn't know the Governor's attitude. Anyway, he would just fight back.
After chatting for a while and having lunch, Shen Wanning saw Mrs. He and He Zhenzhen off. Before leaving, she gave Mrs. He the soap and essential oils she had prepared for her.
At this time, in the governor's mansion.
When Mrs. Huang came back yesterday, she was so scared that she really didn't know how to start talking about what happened at the banquet.
In addition, she wanted to take a gamble that what happened at the banquet would not be spread, so she never told the governor about the conflict between her and Shen Wanning at the banquet.
However, today, just as he was going to the government office to report for duty, he heard some people talking on the way, saying that there might be trouble in Fuzhou in the future and that he had rebellious intentions.
His heart sank, and he ordered the guards to arrest and interrogate the two men. They trembled and answered timidly. It turned out that everyone was saying that the governor's household was better off than the emperor's, and that daring to destroy the imperial gifts was a blatant provocation to the emperor and meant they were trying to rebel.
When asked where the news came from, they hesitated and said that it was what people on the street said and they were just one of the many people talking about it.
After careful inquiry, he finally found out what had happened at the banquet yesterday, every detail, word for word.
After hearing this, the governor was furious. Before the end of his shift, he stormed back to his mansion.
Seeing the governor's furious expression, Madam Huang's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and stepped forward to greet him, "Master, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"
The governor pushed Madam Huang to the ground and said, "How dare you ask me this? You know exactly what you did at the banquet yesterday!"
Madam Huang lay on the ground, not daring to get up. "I don't understand what the master is talking about. What did I do at the banquet yesterday to make the master so angry?"
The governor walked over to her and grabbed her chin. "Who gave you the right to touch the Lady of Jingu County? Huh? I warned you not to touch her, but you ignored my warning, didn't you?"
"It's unfair, sir. I just had a few arguments with her and didn't hit her." Madam Huang said with tears in her eyes and her head raised.
"You are so stupid! If you had won yesterday, I wouldn't have said anything to you, but the key is that you are both stupid and arrogant. Now that this matter has caused a sensation in the whole city, I am sure the emperor will know about it soon. Are you dissatisfied with your master's good luck?"
The governor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and kicked Madam Huang hard again.
The kick was so powerful that Madam Huang slammed into the leg of a chair, screaming in pain. "When my brother was in trouble, I begged Master to help, but Master said he had too many things on his plate and wouldn't rescue him. I was just angry and argued with her at a banquet, and Master treated me like this. Is Master going to burn his bridges after crossing the river before he can accomplish his great cause?"
The governor turned around abruptly and said, "Shut up! If you shout any louder, everyone can hear you!"
Madam Huang sneered, "I thought that after so many years of marriage, the master would have some affection for me, but it seems I was wrong. The master was with me from the beginning because of my family's property, and it's still the same now."
