[ I Will Never Let You Go ]

23

[ Episode 23 ]

24

Xiaoxia.

25

I told you to hit her just to scare Ninth Aunt.

26

How come you really killed her?

27

Don't worry, my Lady. She is not dead. She just fainted.

28

-What about the blood?

-It was my trick.

29

-Really?

-Yes.

30

I put it on her neck when you and your Ninth Aunt

31

were talking.

32

Once she fainted, I used a clever technique of beating her.

33

The beating may have looked hard, but she was not hurt.

34

That's good.

35

Zhu Shou, get her a doctor.

36

-Don't let the Ninth Aunt know.

-Yes.

37

I'm tired

38

after all these.

39

You may go out.

40

Yes.

41

Let's go.

42

Chief Steward Shou,

43

Lady probably has never punished anyone before.

44

She is still too kind.

45

Lady is the only bloodline of the House of Zhu.

46

If she is being too kind, who is going to lead us?

47

Chief Steward Shou,

48

these things

49

are too much for her, isn't it?

50

Don't worry.

51

Lady is not a soft person. She will figure it out.

52

Let's go.

53

Uncle Jiu, the old man wants me to run this house.

54

I need to quickly get used to this new identity.

55

I almost don't have time to think about you and Huang.

56

But don't worry,

57

I will make enough money to pay back the debt.

58

Brother Yuan,

59

I am so sorry.

60

I didn't know that she would be this difficult to invite.

61

Even my mother couldn't get her out.

62

Since she is not coming out,

63

-I will go in.

-Brother Yuan is thinking...

64

Climb over the wall at night to meet the beauty.

65

Hey, that's a bad idea.

66

It would be bad if it gets out.

67

What's wrong with that?

68

Isn't it romantic when a man would risk his life

69

just to see the girl he loves?

70

Let me tell you, I've made up my mind.

71

I've been thinking about her day and night. If I don't get to see her, I will lose my mind.

72

This must be the courtyard of the Zhu granddaughter.

73

Don't move!

74

I'm the son of the Capital City Garrison Commander!

75

I even helped your lady in a fight back in Zuiyitai.

76

Turn around.

77

I will stop them. You guys leave.

78

Why are you here in the middle of the night?

79

You looked prettier than the last time

80

I saw you.

81

No! No!

82

I am Yuanchong! My father is the Capital Garrison Commander!

83

I've read many military strategy books! I've passed the civil examination last year!

84

I'm not yet engaged to be married and hasn't taken in any concubines!

85

I'm returning home in a few days!

86

Wait a second!

87

Before I leave, I just wanted to see you once!

88

I like you!

89

After I go home, I will send someone to come propose!

90

You've mistaken me for someone else.

91

But thank you for intervening at Zuyitai to help us.

92

I'll let you go.

93

I'm not mistaken!

94

You were the one who smashed a wine jug on Tiger Wu that day.

95

You're wearing men's clothing now, but I recognized you in one look.

96

So...

97

...he didn't come for Lady.

98

I fell in love with you at first sight! So...

99

During these few days,

100

I thought of every method to see you!

101

That's why, I climbed the wall to get in.

102

It's a little rude.

103

I hope you...

104

...won't mind.

105

Leave. If you dare to climb the wall to get in again,

106

I will tie you up and give you to the magistrate.

107

I think the commander doesn't want to be embarrassed that way.

108

I...! I really do like you!

109

I just want to get an answer from you before leaving!

110

All my words are true.

111

If I have said any lies,

112

I will be struck by lightning.

113

Jerk!

114

I know that climbing over a wall and trespassing is a bit too much!

115

But towards you...

116

I really do like you!

117

Hurry and leave! Don't disturb my Lady's rest.

118

No! I...

119

It was so hard to get over the wall!

120

If I don't make you like me,

121

I won't leave.

122

Miss, you just said your "Lady."

123

Aren't you the Lady of Zhu Manor?

124

No...no...! It's fine if you are not!

125

The one I like is you, not your identity!

126

Really! Really! You must believe me!

127

You finally believe me?

128

All I said is the truth!

129

You can't tell others that I am not the Lady. Or else, I will kill you.

130

Don't worry! My mouth is quite tight!

131

Lotus Robe... I didn't even tell anyone about him.

132

You know the Lotus Robe Knight?

133

No, no, I don't.

134

I've never heard of him before!

135

I want to go see him!

136

I heard the Lotus Robe Knight often appears in the capital.

137

You are from the Capital City Garrison.

138

I'm sure you know many people.

139

Do you know where the Lotus Robe Knight is?

140

Miss, I...I really don't know him.

141

Then please go back. I hope you can keep your word.

142

You...!

143

Why are you looking for him?

144

I want to thank him for saving us with that arrow the other day.

145

If you run into him, tell him,

146

to come to Suzhou when he has time.

147

Someone wants to see him.

148

You want to see him? You're not in love with him before of that arrow, are you?

149

Let me tell you! Forget it! He...

150

He has someone he likes!

151

Just tell him my message when you see him.

152

I will tell him the rest when he comes.

153

Even if I saw him, I won't tell him.

154

You just wait! I will come again!

155

I will definitely make you like me.

156

You're back?

157

My Lady.

158

It is Young Lord Yuan from Zuiyitai.

159

He knows that I am not the real Zhu Lady.

160

But he is the son of the Capital Garrison Commander, so I can't kill him.

161

Hence, I made him leave.

162

I heard it all.

163

What did you hear?

164

I heard him say...

165

...he likes you!

166

He's from a good family, not bad looking, and he dares to loudly say that he likes you.

167

He's not bad!

168

My Lady, I won't get married.

169

Don't mention it again.

170

Why won't you get married?

171

I have to protect you for life.

172

Women are too weak and aren't strong enough.

173

I treated myself as a man since childhood.

174

But you are still a woman.

175

It's fine if a woman isn't married.

176

But having a man who likes you is also a blissful thing.

177

Then my Lady...do you like the Lotus Robe Knight?

178

I saw Young Lord Yuan's expression when he mentioned the Lotus Robe Knight.

179

He might know who Lotus Robe Knight is.

180

How about next time if he comes again,

181

I will ask him where the Lotus Robe Knight is?

182

Lotus Robe Knight and I

183

are better off not seeing each other.

184

Why?

185

If he knows that I'm not dead,

186

and became the Lady of the House of Zhu,

187

would he tell the Seventh Prince and the Mo Manor?

188

It's nothing.

189

Didn't the old man ask me think of ways to bring in money and cut the expenses of the Zhu Manor?

190

I'm so busy with those matters already.

191

How would I have the time to fall in love?

192

Then have you thought of a way to earn money?

193

I did think of a few ways.

194

Call Zhu Fu and Zhu Shou here tomorrow.

195

I want to discuss it with them.

196

Then rest early, my Lady.

197

You too.

198

-Do business. Do.

-Okay I'll write that down for you.

-Okay.

199

My Lady, you want to loan money to the poor.

200

It neither bring profit in, nor saves anything

201

We even have to put in a lot of money,

202

and worry about if they can pay for them or not.

203

If they couldn't pay it off—

204

When I was a beggar doing business behind Uncle Jiu's back,

205

what I lacked the most is the initial capital to purchase my stocks.

206

Later, when the business grew bigger, what I needed the most is money to expand the business

207

I was thinking then, if anyone would loan me money,

208

I would even pay 60% interest.

209

Miss, it's not that everyone is a business genius like you are.

210

What if they lose money?

211

I think, it's better to loan money

212

to real businessmen. It's more secure.

213

That's not for sure. If you loan money to businessmen,

214

the higher the investment, the higher the risk.

215

And businessmen don't care about the small amount we can give,

216

and the usual commoners don't lack money too.

217

It is those poor people, who suffers from heavy taxation, who is in real need of money.

218

If we loan money to then, isn't that delivering coal during the snow?

219

The Emperor's taxation lately has indeed intensified,

220

and the poor population is growing.

221

However, they are mainly part of the agricultural sector.

222

Only a few really knows how to do business. Hence,

223

my worry is the same as Zhu Shou.

224

Because in business, payments sometimes are defaulted.

225

If their business really fails, then they won't have any money to pay us back.

226

-What do we do then?

-That's right.

227

Hence, we need to investigate.

228

At first, let's not loan out much.

229

After they made their payment in time, we can loan them money again.

230

Building credit takes time.

231

And these poor people are not as cunning as those experienced businessmen.

232

They are all suffering from poverty.

233

Opportunity is something precious for them.

234

Once they earned money, they would put it in good use.

235

Even there are people who can't pay back, it would be the minority. We won't lose that much money.

236

Also, we can use collective punishment method.

237

if one person doesn't pay, all his neighbors are not allowed to take out loans either.

238

The poor also care about their reputation

239

They won't wrong all their neighbors, right?

240

This...

241

Loaning money to the poor to set up business

242

would immediately raise the fame of the House of Zhu in Jiangan, and even across the nation..

243

Maybe, even the emperor would praise us

244

for helping the poor civilians.

245

Also, once the fame of House of Zhu grows bigger and bigger in the empire,

246

there would be more people who wants to do business with us.

247

This way, our other businesses would benefit too.

248

Right. Right.

249

My Lady, you are so right! How could I have not thought of that?!

250

Look, loaning money to businessmen has a long tradition throughout the history, hence, not surprising at all.

251

But loaning money to the poor would be done for the first time.

252

This is memorable for historic documentation!

253

Also, loaning money is a news that's easy to spread.

254

One passes it to ten. Ten passes it to hundreds. Hundreds pass to thousands. In an instant, the whole empire knows about it.

255

The more people know about Zhu Manor, then more people will visit our shops.

256

Then our business is going to grow. To look at it that way,

257

-this is such a good deal!

-Right?

258

This method might take some time. However,

259

it surely won't be a losing business and also can bring us great benefits.

260

Chief Stewards, what do you think?

261

Are we doing it or not?

262

I will listen to Lady.

263

Look at this...

264

Lady has just been our Zhu Manor for a few days,

265

but has helped us resolved so many issues.

266

You are totally the lucky star of the House of Zhu!

267

In the future, as long as Zhu Fu and I follow you,

268

we'll feel so secure and so at ease.

269

Stop sweet talking me.

270

I think there are still imperfections.

271

Please double check this. Don't let others find a loophole to exploit.

272

Okay.

273

Have you heard of this? Zhu Manor is loaning money to the poor people to do business

274

Every person could get three taels of silver, and pay it back by parts for three months.

275

Every month, you can pay back just one tael and some interests.

276

Also, if you pay in advance, you won't need to pay interests!

277

There's such a good deal?

278

I don't even know whether this is true or not. I heard that it was the idea of the granddaughter.

279

If I could borrow some money, I can establish my little booth.

280

By that time,

281

I don't need to act according to the boss' mood.

282

If there's such a good deal, why don't you quickly check it out?

283

There must be a lot of people in the Zhu Manor's Bank now.

284

If you are late, you might not even be able to get through the crowd.

285

Help me to clean this up. I'm going to ask boss for a leave.

286

-Help me with the cleanup!

-Sure. Sure. Just quickly go.

287

Such a good idea. It doesn't cost much money, but it comes with good benefits.

288

This girl is so good at business.

289

-Waiter!

-Yes! Coming!

290

-Check please!

- Sure.

291

[ Zhu Manor's Bank ]

292

-Just go back and wait for the approval. Next!

-Thanks.

293

Hello manager, my name is Chen Da, a member of the Li Family Farmstead in Huang Village.

294

I'm currently a staff at Zuiyitai. I want to loan three taels of silver to start a dumplings booth.

295

I'll certainly payoff in time.

296

Chen Da, three taels of silver.

297

Okay. I've logged in all your information.

298

We need three days to to a background check.

299

Check? What do you need to check?

300

To check the authenticity of your information. And your credibility in your community.

301

If there is nothing wrong, we will surely loan you the money.

302

-Then, no problem.

-Okay. Next!

303

Looks like we can't continue just having fun, and must take some serious actions now.

304

Otherwise, if the House of Zhu pay off their debt, my father is going to give me a hard time.

305

Two, down five, then minus three.

306

Two, remove eight, then add one.

307

Isn't this easy? Try it out. Here.

308

I get it...a little bit.

309

Two.

310

Down five.

311

-Down five...

-My Lady!

312

Your aunts are here again.

313

Again?

314

It is the time to save money. And the old man asks me to be in charge of their accounts.

315

I finally have offended them.

316

No. No. I must go hide.

317

Xiaoxia, keep them out. Take these and follow me.

318

-Hurry! Hurry! Take them!

-Hurry!

319

Stinky brat, why do you have time to visit me today?

320

You pushed all the work to me, while you are just relaxing here.

321

Those aunts are surrounding my courtyard again.

322

If I don't give them money, they go in circles in cursing me.

323

This is all because of you! Why did you put me in charge?

324

You...you don't have to be polite to them. If you need to criticize them, do it.

325

If you need to discipline them, do it. You don't need to worry about my reputation.

326

They are all my elders. How can I treat them that way?

327

You are in charge of the house.

328

You have to act like you are in charge.

329

In this household, you are the leader.

330

-For real?

-Of course.

331

Okay. Then let's start from your room today.

332

What does that mean?

333

Wait!

334

Little girl, wait for me!

335

Wow, such big piece of jade. It must worth a lot of money.

336

This is grand master's favorite white jade round sculpture. Seven hundred taels of silver.

337

Seven hundred taels.

338

-Such a big window. And it even uses a jiao...jiao what?

-Jiao silk.

339

Yes, jiao silk. I've seen at our silk shop.

340

This must at least be two rolls, right?

341

-More than that.

-More than that. How much would that be?

342

-Around a hundred and eighty taels of silver.

-A hundred and eighty taels...

343

I know this! This is a very valuable

344

yellow rosewood!

345

My Lady, you know your stuff.

346

Expensive right? How much?

347

A little more than a thousand taels of silver.

348

More than a thousand taels...

349

-This wood is so beautiful! This is...

-Sandal wood. Sandal wood.

350

Don't! My Lady!

351

Slow down in rubbing it. This one is worth almost two thousand taels.

352

Two thousand taels?

353

A mingqian tea that was just delivered.

354

There are about 0,26 oz in a pot, right?

355

Two taels of silver.

356

What was used can't be the

357

the snow water collected from plum flowers from last winter, right?

358

The effort to collect it would also worth at least a tael of silver, right?

359

And then this purple sand tea pot!

360

At least a few hundred taels of silver, right? Old man,

361

the one you just sipped right now is at least worth three taels of silver!

362

It's a month budget for a normal household.

363

This...you don't have to be so calculative.

364

These...furniture are all very valuable.

365

It can be used for a lifetime, for eight generations!

366

And, those little things,

367

they were bought way before when they were still very cheap.

368

You don't want me to sell them all, right?

369

Don't worry. Even if you sell all of them, it would only be some change.

370

It won't help that significantly.

371

Now, we need to increase income and limit expenses.

372

I just want Zhu Shou to do the math for you.

373

Zhu Shou, report the number to Grandfather.

374

The expenditure of Grand Master on furniture and antiques last year is

375

a total of one hundred and forty-eight thousands taels of silver.

376

The jiao silk for windows in the manor will cost three thousand taels of silver per year.

377

The expenses of the aunts on jewelry, clothing and cosmetic products every year is about one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver.

378

As for the kitchen,

379

the expenses on birds' nest and ginseng per year would cost

380

about fourteen thousand taels of silver.

381

In fact, these...expenses....

382

...aren't that high too.

383

It's just that...we have so many people.

384

Okay.

385

Then, I'm going to be generous now.

386

I've decided, that for every courtyard in the manor, other than their monthly budget,

387

I'll give them one thousand taels more of silver per month.

388

My aunts can buy whatever they want to buy. It's up to them.

389

So they don't have to come to me if they want to buy some hair accessories.

390

No. No.

391

Isn't that too little?

392

It is so much less than before.

393

No. No. People are gonna say that our house couldn't even feed its women.

394

It's gonna make me look so bad.

395

Don't worry, old man.

396

My aunts will be very happy about it.

397

They will be?

398

Master, Lady,

399

I think Miss' idea is pretty good.

400

Previously, when these aunts came to me for reimbursement of their clothing and makeup cost,

401

everyone would look happy on the outside,

402

but behind my back, they are all blaming me for being stingy.

403

Complaining that I ask too much,

404

that I comment on how expensive the items they bought.

405

Every month, they don't have much on-hand silver except for their monthly allowance.

406

Jewelries and clothing will get old.

407

I think, no thing is as good and pleasurable as having on-hand silver

408

to buy whatever they want.

409

In one year,

410

we can save more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.

411

More than that!

412

Not bad. Not bad.

413

As long as they won't come to cry and bother me,

414

I'm happy to.

415

Then you agree?

416

-Of course, I agree.

-Old man,

417

I have another thing. I want my aunts

418

to own shares to the businesses of House of Zhu.

419

At the end of the year, they can earn some dividends or something.

420

-You really belong to Zhu family!

-Isn't that right?

421

-What is your brain made of? And what is your brain made of?

-Just like yours!

422

How did you think of that idea? Every year, give them 1000 taels.

423

In the blink of an eye, we can get that money back!

424

And they have to give you all their spare money!

425

-Right?

-What is your brain made of? Why didn't you think of that?

426

Then you are agreeing?

427

Of course, I agree! Your aunts and their relatives,

428

they work in our shop!

429

In the past,

430

they were working for the House of Zhu. Each one is like a wood-eating insect.

431

Now, they are going to work for themselves.

432

Aren't they going to be more eager about it?

433

-Yes! I'll go tell them then! Zhu Shou, let's go!

-Okay, okay!

434

-My Lady, it's time to rest.

-Xiaoxia,

435

do you know how much money my aunts took out to invest?

436

How much?

437

1 million taels! A whole 1 million taels!

438

If the House of Zhu had a few more aunts, that would be great!

439

Who's there?

440

I heard you're looking for me.

441

You're the Lotus Robe Knight?

442

Precisely.

443

He came! He really came!

444

Did he come to look for me?

445

No.

446

Uncle Jiu told me to guard against the Seventh Prince.

447

I don't know why I have to guard yet.

448

Can I go out to see him?

449

What if the Seventh Prince is an awful person?

450

If I go out, isn't that putting the House of Zhu in danger?

451

No. I cannot go out.

452

Miss, I heard you like me!

453

Hey!

454

Miss! I really am the Lotus Robe Knight!

455

If the Lotus Robe Knight had your level of martial arts,

456

I guess it wouldn't take long to hear that he was killed by his enemies.

457

Indeed!

458

My martial arts is nothing special.

459

But my archery is amazing!

460

I never miss any shots.

461

I was the one who shot the arrow to save you! Really!

462

I didn't lie to you!

463

You're wrong.

464

The one that the Lotus Robe Knight saved was my Lady.

465

Right. Right.

466

Look at my memory. That day,

467

I didn't see clearly, so I made a mistake! Yes! Yes!

468

The one I saved was your Lady!

469

Young Lord Yuan,

470

either come with the Lotus Robe Knight,

471

or don't come looking for trouble!

472

-You want to see him that much?

-Yes.

473

Alright.

474

I'll go back and tell him.

475

Miss.

476

This is the third time we saw each other.

477

I still don't know your name!

478

Can you tell me?

479

Xiaoxia.

480

Miss Xiaoxia,

481

my martial arts is indeed below that of Lotus Robe Knight.

482

But my personality is good! And I am sincere towards you!

483

After you see the Lotus Robe Knight, you'll know

484

that he has a cold expression on every day.

485

That's not better than how I make you happy every day!

486

I guarantee! I will definitely make you like me!

487

Don't. Don't.

488

Don't.

489

Xiaoxia!

490

-My Lady.

-Didn't I tell you

491

I don't want to see the Lotus Robe Knight right now?

492

Don't go making decisions by yourself

493

and bring him here.

494

But Young Lord Yuan already left. Should I run after him?

495

No need.

496

I'm saying...

497

...you don't need to go after him.

498

Anyway, listening to his tone,

499

it didn't sound like he can really bring him here.

500

I'm going to sleep.

501

Hua Buqi!

502

Do you want him to come or not?

503

[ Firework Store ]

504

Customer, do you want to buy fireworks?

505

Take a look.

506

Is this shop under House of Zhu?

507

Yes.

508

Our fireworks were produced by Zhu Workshop.

509

The qualities are guaranteed.

510

Is that so?

511

Then, the eyes of this patient of mine was injured by fireworks from your shop.

512

What should we do?

513

Don't talk nonsense, Young Lord!

514

The Zhu's of Jiangnan has a good reputation in doing business.

515

Have you made a mistake?

516

Or...

517

...lying about getting injured from the Zhu's fireworks

518

-to scam money?

-Forget it.

519

I will not waste my time with you.

520

I heard the its the Zhu granddaughter who is in charge of your business now.

521

Go and call your her over here!

522

I want to see

523

will your Lady Zhu be as irresponsible as you

524

in this matter of a fireworks from your shop hurting someone.

525

Do you think you can see her just because you want to?

526

Her illness was only cured because your Chief Stewards Fu and Shou abducted me over there!

527

Do you think I have a right to see her or not?

528

Isn't that Medical Sage Dongfang?

529

He disappeared a few days ago.

530

Why did he suddenly appear today?

531

So you are Medical Sage Dongfang?!

532

I was not aware who you are.

533

I will go and tell Grand Master Zhu about it now

534

and ask him to settle things. Please wait.

535

To make him treat her,

536

you abducted him?

537

Why didn't you abduct his entire family?

538

Old Master!

539

You cannot blame us!

540

You have to blame Medical Sage Dongfang!

541

He said he'd only save poor people.

542

Lady was in critical condition at that time.

543

We were out of ideas.

544

That's why, we abducted him.

545

We had no choice!

546

Choice? Choice? Choice?

547

You are such a troublemaker!

548

You can even abduct people?

549

Even if you abduct, you should have done it prettily.

550

Right? Now he's come searching for us!

551

That Dongfang guy has come straight to cause a scene in our firework store. You tell me, what should we do?!

552

Grand Master, please be calm. Lady's life was really in danger then.

553

Only Dongfang Shi could treat the poison.

554

So...

555

That's why, we chose such a bad plan.

556

That was a bad plan?

557

Tell me a good plan now then? What do we do now?

558

Old Master! I think that Medical Sage Dongfang seems to like our Lady!

559

And he specifically wants Lady to personally handle it.

560

Why don't we have Lady cover her face

561

and come with me to the fireworks shop?

562

I will ask him to come inside,

563

and then have Lady talk with him.

564

And then we'll have Xiaoxia interrogate the manager of the fireworks workshop.

565

Do you think that will work?

566

-Hurry and go!

-Okay.

567

Why are you standing here?

568

My Lady.

569

This is the Medical Sage Dongfang who saved you.

570

Greetings, Young Lord Dongfang.

571

Thank you for saving my life.

572

You are too kind, Lady Zhu.

573

When Zhu Manor's people abducted me, they were not that courteous.

574

They were just worried about my injuries.

575

That's why, they chose that plan of action.

576

I am apologizing for it.

577

You don't need to apologize to me.

578

You should apologize to my patient.

579

I saved his eyes, but whether or not his eyesight can be fully restored,

580

will require some further observation.

581

What is going on?

582

Please explain.

583

Xiao Huzi.

584

Tell her yourself.

585

How were your eyes injured?

586

Young Lord.

587

Why are you afraid?

588

Today, I will support you! Just tell the truth.

589

Tell me.

590

Thank you, Young Lord, for standing up for me.

591

I bought fireworks from the Zhu store

592

a couple of days ago.

593

I bought it to be used for my mother's birthday.

594

Who knew that it exploded right after I lit it.

595

The sparks were everywhere. Not only did it hurt my eyes,

596

the spark also spread to the house of my neighbors

597

and lit up two houses.

598

They were asking me to pay for those,

599

but my eyes are hurt and I can't work. How do I pay them back?

600

Are you sure you bought the fireworks from our shop?

601

Lady Zhu,

602

who has the guts to scam the House of Zhu of Jiangnan?

603

Without enough evidence,

604

how could a normal civilian

605

dare to ask justice from the Zhu's store?

606

You've misunderstood, Young Lord. I'm only here to learn the truth.

607

You don't have to doubt Xiao Huzi.

608

It's not the first time that the fireworks made by the House of Zhu

609

have hurt people.

610

I saved his eyes by accident.

611

If they were really hurt by the fireworks,

612

there must be lots of fireworks from the same batch,

613

so I investigated.

614

All these people have bought the same batch of fireworks from the Zhu shop.

615

But they were more lucky and weren't hurt badly.

616

Hence, they didn't come here to ask for compensation.

617

If you don't believe it, you may send someone to investigate.

618

Maybe there are some fireworks from the same batch here that you can have them test.

619

Do we still have fireworks from the same batch?

620

We still have plenty.

621

-Test one in the yard. Be careful.

-Okay.

622

I can treat that manager for free.

623

But Lady Zhu, does the House of Zhu sell fireworks

624

or deadly gun powder?

625

If the products we sold have quality issues, we will take responsibility for them.

626

How?

627

The amount of losses this hurt man incurred

628

will all be compensated by my Zhu shop.

629

It's also the same with the five people on the list. But,

630

I have two more questions for you, Young Lord.

631

Please do ask, Lady Zhu.

632

Is Xiao Huzi's eye injury treatable?

633

I will try my best.

634

You must be kidding, Young Lord.

635

Since the a medical sage said so, he must be 100% confident.

636

We will leave him to you to treat.

637

The Zhu can afford the most expensive medicines.

638

What would the second question be, Lady Zhu?

639

Have you treated the five people on the list too?

640

-I did.

-Are they all okay?

641

Like I said, I will try my best.

642

Understood. Thank you, Young Lord.

643

My Lady!

644

I saw this guy was about to run away when I got to the firework factory.

645

If I'm not wrong, you did something in the ingredients, right?

646

This firework store was just newly opened.

647

The fireworks were fine when we tested them before we opened.

648

But after the store opened, there goes so many issues.

649

I was going to ask you how you managed the factory

650

in front of everyone.

651

I don't think that's necessary now.

652

Bring him to the authority and let the court deal with him.

653

Miss, he just admitted that he works for the Fourth Aunt.

654

The Fourth Aunt is probably deeply involved in this matter.

655

Are we really sending him to the authority?

656

If the Fourth Aunt just wants to fight against me, it's one thing.

657

But innocent lives have now been hurt.

658

We can only let the authorities deal with it. We can't let those despicable people

659

ruin Zhu's reputation in business.

660

Yes.

661

I've heard that Lady Zhu was able to run the businesses of the House of Zhu so perfectly in such a young age.

662

Seeing it today, it is indeed as was said.

663

Young Lord, you must be joking. If I did run it perfectly,

664

-how did the firework incident happen?

-It's is only a small mishap.

665

But now that everything is clear,

666

I don't know if I may invite Lady Zhu

667

to catch up in a nearby restaurant.

668

I should say yes to your invitation, Young Lord,

669

but I still need to deal with something in the stores.

670

It's okay. I can wait.

671

If today doesn't work, tomorrow then.

672

If tomorrow doesn't work, the day after tomorrow then.

673

I don't know how long it would take Lady Zhu Zhu to settle your affairs.

674

Until all the clients are satisfied with Zhu's fireworks,

675

that's when it's done.

676

Go ask the manager to get the fireworks from the same batch out,

677

and ask someone to get some buckets of water and place them in front of the store.

678

I'm on it.

679

All our co-villagers and neighbors!

680

Today, Doctor Dongfang brought in a patient who was injured by our Zhu's fireworks

681

to seek justice from our store.

682

The fireworks from our factory have issues

683

and hurt people, hence, it's our responsibility to take.

684

We definitely won't push it to anywhere else. The House of Zhu will assume

685

all the medical expenses!

686

The House of Zhu is supposed to be responsible for it in the first place!

687

-Yeah.

-Yes! Yes!

688

Our House of Zhu is supposed to be responsible for it in the first place. At the same time,

689

if anyone have bought fireworks from our stores in recent days,

690

can return them to us.

691

We will buy them back at double the price.

692

That may sound good. Who knows if you are going to

693

sell them again or not once it passes?

694

-Right. Right. That's what businessmen do.

-Don't worry, everyone.

695

We will not sell this batch of fireworks anymore.

696

For your safety and our reputation,

697

our Lady has repeatedly instructed me

698

that this batch of fireworks has to be destroyed.

699

So today, we will destroy them

700

in front of all of you to see, is that okay?

701

-Okay! Okay!

-You, go pour the water.

702

They are really destroying them.

703

Good! Good!

704

Everyone saw it, right?

705

This is our standard for our own products.

706

No matter if it's fireworks, silk, tea or jewelries,

707

the qualities have to be the best.

708

Our lady said, from now on,

709

anyone who would found quality issues on any of our products,

710

will be rewarded 10 taels!

711

-Good!

-Thank you for your supervision!

712

Let's go take a look at the Zhu's jewelry store.

713

Yeah, we can probably make 10 taels.

714

-I will go.

-Let's go.

715

Outstanding! Outstanding!

716

Lady Zhu Zhu's last method, which is asking others to supervise,

717

not only can regain Zhu's reputation,

718

but can also bring in more customers.

719

I believe that the your factory and workshop workers will be more careful from now on.

720

And the number of defective goods will be much less.

721

Lady Zhu's idea was so brilliant.

722

I just want to let people know that our products have no issue.

723

I didn't think as much as you did, Young Lord.

724

Lady Zhu is so sharp and decisive when doing things.

725

You have such a brain for doing business in such a young age.

726

It seems that the House of Zhu is not far from success.

727

Lady Zhu Zhu,

728

since the matter has been dealt with. Do you now have the time

729

to catch up with me in a restaurant?

730

I will have to visit the workshops.

731

Changing of management

732

will make workers worry about their plight.

733

I will have to take care of their feelings

734

and minimize the losses.

735

Miss Zhu Zhu is very detailed at everything. Very good.

736

Then I will accompany you to the workshop.

737

-Hei Feng!

-Here.

-Send Xiao Huzi back to his place.

738

I will change his gauze as soon as I get back.

739

Yes.

740

My Lady, everything has been dealt with.

741

Good. Go get a new manager

742

and placate the employees under him. Young Lord Dongfang is courteously inviting me

743

to chat with him in a restaurant. I will leave these things to you then.

744

My Lady, how about I have Zuiyitai send some food over here?

745

What do you think?

746

I just want to have a chat with your Lady in a restaurant. I'm not going to do anything to her.

747

Also, I'm the one who cured her illness.

748

Without me, she wouldn't even be here.

749

You don't have to be this careful with me.

750

It's okay. Xiaoxia will be back soon.

751

Don't worry. She will keep me company.

752

Okay. I am heading to the workshop now.

753

I was almost killed when I sneaked out of the manor a few days ago,

754

that's why they are so cautious. Please forgive them.

755

If Medical Sage Dongfang is not afraid of being in danger when with me,

756

we can go to Zuiyitai now.

757

I've heard about that.

758

Don't worry, Lady Zhu Zhu. You have me with you today.

759

I'm good at clearing poison, but I'm better at poisoning people.
