Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 13: The Real Abuse of Power!

"Since that's the case... then I'll take this jade." Zhou Wei said calmly.

"It's good that the young lady has some self-awareness..."

Su Yunjin's confident smile was still on her face, but after realizing what Zhou Wei had said, she was shocked.

"What did you say?"

Zhou Wei chuckled: "I'm saying, I want this jade! It's a forced sale, do you understand?"

Su Yunjin's expression gradually turned cold.

"Young lady, it seems you haven't understood what I'm saying?"

Zhou Wei remained unmoved: "I understand! You mean that even if I buy this jade, it's still a piece of junk."

"Then why did you..."

"For no reason! I have money, I like to buy things! It's none of your business!"

With 30,000 taels of silver notes in her pocket, Zhou Wei was now incredibly wealthy and powerful!

I love spending money on junk, what's it to you!

Su Yunjin looked at Zhou Wei with anger and stubbornness.

"Since you don't appreciate my offer, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm not selling you this jade."

“I’m not afraid of this lawsuit, even if it goes all the way to the Prefect of the Capital.”

Seeing this, Zhou Wei chuckled, knowing that Su Yunjin had something to rely on.

The person she relied on was her adopted husband, General Lu Zhiyan.

But what is Lu Zhiyan anyway!

Can she compare to Princess Jiang Yueli?

Zhou Wei turned to look at Zi Yu and said arrogantly:

"Come here, Ziyu, let Boss Su see what real bullying by abusing power looks like!"

Ziyu was extremely excited!

After suppressing your anger for so long, you can finally act like a bully, huh?

Ok?

No, why did she use that word?

It must be because of Zhou Wei's influence.

However, it feels really good to be able to bully others by relying on their master's power!

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ziyu cleared her throat.

He imitated Zhou Wei's imposing manner and shouted loudly.

"Listen up, all of you! I am Ziyu, the head palace maid in charge of the Princess's residence!"

"This jade stone is mine, Princess's residence! If anyone objects... if anyone objects..."

Ziyu was speaking when she suddenly stopped.

He doesn't often act like a bully who relies on his master's power; I can't come up with anything more to say.

Zhou Wei quickly added, "If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself."

“Yes, if you’re not happy, then keep it to yourself!” Zi Yu looked at Su Yunjin with her head held high and chest puffed out.

Su Yunjin looked surprised, clearly not expecting that the two people in front of her were from the Princess's residence.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

It's not like Princess Jiang Yueli herself is here; it's just two maids from the princess's residence. What is there to be afraid of?

Su Yunjin said casually, "So you are the head maid of the Princess's residence. My apologies for not recognizing you."

She spoke politely, but went straight to a chair inside the Golden Pavilion and sat down.

There was absolutely no sense of respect.

"Young lady, one should be forgiving when possible!"

“You’re using the name of the Princess’s Mansion to force me to buy and sell in my Golden Pavilion. If others find out, they won’t say anything bad about you.”

"They'll just say it's because the eldest daughter-in-law failed in her duty of discipline and allowed her servants to bully others!"

Su Yunjin believed that her statement was reasonable and well-founded.

In this Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone values ​​reputation. She refused to believe that Zhou Wei would not yield when the reputation of the Eldest Princess was brought up!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei burst into laughter and pointed at Su Yunjin.

He looked at me like I was an idiot!

Please, our princess is known for being extremely arrogant!

Throughout the entire series, is there anyone with a worse reputation than her?

Princess Jiang Yueli is already a ruin, so why would she be afraid of the house collapsing?

Su Yunjin is truly ignorant and arrogant, daring to use the reputation of the Eldest Princess as a pretext.

Is this something a mere merchant like her should say?

This isn't just overstepping boundaries; this is courting death!

boom!

A muffled thud!

Su Yunjin's arrogant expression was still on her face when she suddenly widened her eyes.

Was she... pulled out?

I actually got slapped by Zhou Wei?

Once Su Yunjin realized what was happening, she lost all composure.

She glared at Zhou Wei through gritted teeth, looking like a madwoman!

She is a time-traveling woman who advocates equality for all. The humiliation Su Yunjin suffers from being slapped in public, especially with her foot, is far greater than that of a country bumpkin heroine like Shen Shuqing.

"You...you bitch! You kicked me?"

boom!

No sooner had the doubts been raised than Zhou Wei gracefully darted forward again.

He delivered a solid kick to Su Yunjin!

Su Yunjin covered her face, her gaze towards Zhou Wei seeming to want to tear her to shreds.

"You dare to humiliate me with your feet?"

Zhou Wei chuckled coldly, giving the sycophantic heroine a kick.

The heroine is incredibly lucky, and she even has two kicks!

"Ziyu, tell me, what crime has Boss Su committed by daring to speak of matters concerning the Princess's residence as a merchant?"

Ziyu looked at Su Yunjin with an arrogant expression.

"Overstepping one's bounds and committing treason deserves thirty strokes of the cane!"

Zhou Wei chuckled, "Did you hear that, Mr. Su? According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you made unfounded accusations against my eldest daughter, so you could get thirty lashes."

“But as the chief palace maid under the Princess’s command, I am merciful and will only slap you twice as a punishment.”

"In that case, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to thank me for showing mercy?"

The dignified and gentle demeanor on Su Yunjin's face had long since vanished.

She covered her swollen cheeks, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Zhou Wei.

How dare a lowly slave make me kneel and kowtow?

Who does she think she is?

Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have the power of the princess's residence?

Su Yunjin gave the third manager a look, and the third manager immediately understood.

Without making a sound, he moved back to the inner room, preparing to go and get reinforcements!

Ziyu noticed their little actions and was about to speak up to stop them.

Zhou Wei gestured for her to calm down!

Let's go!

Let's see which powerful figure Su Yunjin can bring in.

Seeing that the third manager had left, Su Yunjin felt more confident.

Looking at Zhou Wei, he said, "Miss, you're using the name of the Princess's Mansion to pressure me. You wouldn't be thinking of taking this jade for free, would you?"

You guessed half right, but I want more!

Zhou Wei shook her head. "Boss Su, don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'take it for free'?"

"You gave me this jade out of guilt, as an apology for your dishonest business practices!"

"Of course, Mr. Su's previous actions hurt me deeply, so you will not only apologize to me with the jade, but also compensate me with an additional ten thousand taels to make up for the harm I suffered."

Despite being blackmailed, Su Yunjin calmly sat back in her chair without any panic, and even had time to take a sip of tea.

“Miss Zhou, is it any kind of accounting to pay you ten thousand taels of silver just because I didn’t sell you the jade?”

“You are just a lowly servant in the princess’s residence. Ten thousand taels of silver is enough to buy your life.”

Hearing Su Yunjin speak so rudely, Ziyu angrily pointed at her.

"Who are you calling of lowly status? You're just a merchant, how dare you look down on the people of our Princess's residence?"

Su Yunjin, however, maintained a nonchalant demeanor.

"Young lady, although I, Su Yunjin, am a merchant, I am a law-abiding citizen. What about you?"

"Once you enter the princess's residence as a slave or maid, you're considered a lowly person! Haven't you heard the saying, 'Once a slave, always lowly'?"

Ziyu was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhou Wei, however, crossed her arms and leisurely observed Su Yunjin.

In terms of eloquence, ten Ziyus would not be a match for Su Yunjin.

After all, this is the person who had a verbal battle with the "extreme" relatives in Sujia Village.

If Su Yunjin didn't have the ability to infuriate people to the point of vomiting blood, she wouldn't be able to do business.

but……

Zhou Wei put the jade into her purse and picked up the money Ziyu had paid for on the counter.

Seeing this, Su Yunjin gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

I was stunned by Zhou Wei's shamelessness!

This is truly a case of eating and taking things away at the same time!

How could such a thing be true?

Zhou Wei carefully put away the spirit jade, thinking that she would hand it over to the Princess when she returned.

The eldest princess must be overjoyed; she's secretly delighted!

They scour the best things in the world for their own side.

Is this a qualified job? It's what I should do!

As for what others think, who cares!

I'm talking about you, Su Yunjin.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Come and rob me if you dare!

Let's see if my golden right foot agrees!

Just as Zhou Wei finished packing her things, she heard a commotion outside Zouma Street.

It seems like a lot of people are coming this way.

Ziyu was curious and looked outside the door. When she came back, she was somewhat surprised.

"Sister Wei! They're from the Five Armies Commandery! The leader seems to be General Lu Zhiyan!"

Yo!

The male protagonist of a farming-themed novel has arrived!
