Chapter 1969 Birthday Gift
Chapter 1969 Birthday Gift
Chen Changli nodded in agreement, reached out to hug Wan Shufang, and left with two secret guards.
As his figure disappeared, Wan Shufang took a deep breath and felt empty in her heart. In order to stop herself from thinking too much, she tried hard to pull her mind back and carefully considered the gift to give to Caixia.
The next morning.
Wan Shufang got up early and went to the most famous jewelry shop in the city to order a beautiful headpiece for Caixia.
After getting the headgear, Wan Shufang went directly to the clothing store. Seeing Caixia busy inside, she walked in with a smile: "Our little boss Caixia, no matter how busy you are, don't forget what day it is today."
"Hey, Caixia, happy birthday." She handed the headdress gift box to Caixia. Caixia was surprised when she saw the Qifeng Pavilion label clearly written on the box.
Subconsciously, he pushed the box out and shook his head repeatedly: "Madam, I can't accept this. It's too expensive."
The jewelry in Qifeng Pavilion was notoriously expensive, but also famously beautiful. Caixia felt that she had already troubled Chen Changli and Wan Shufang a lot, and she didn't dare to accept such expensive jewelry again.
"Madam, let's have dinner together, even if it's your birthday. No gifts are needed." She took Wan Shufang's arm and acted coquettishly towards her: "In the past, no one accompanied me to dinner on my birthday. This year, Madam is accompanying me. I am very happy."
Caixia looked at Wan Shufang with curved eyebrows, and the emotion revealed in her eyes was really happy. Seeing this, Wan Shufang still stuffed the headdress into her arms: "You have to eat, and you have to accept the jewelry."
"Okay, don't reject me again, or I'll be angry. Come in quickly, I'll put it on for you to try, and then pick out a beautiful dress for you to dress up in. We'll go shopping later."
Having said that, Wan Shufang didn't give Caixia any chance to hesitate and pulled her to the backyard of the shop. This house was specially chosen by her for Caixia's convenience. There was a house behind the clothing shop.
Back in the room, Wan Shufang personally selected clothes for Caixia and picked out new jewelry. She was eager to put them on her. Seeing her happy look, Caixia didn't want to spoil her fun and cooperated obediently.
"At worst, I can make more money in the future and help the charity hall more, so that I can repay the lady's kindness." She thought silently in her heart, and soon convinced herself, and happily tinkered with Wan Shufang.
The two of them dressed up and soon they were ready to go out.
"Caixia, this one is also good. I bought this one, and this one too. I think it will look good on you too."
"This is delicious..." Wan Shufang bought all the delicious and fun things while shopping and wanted to give them to Caixia.
"That's enough, ma'am. You don't need so much." Caixia tried to stop them, but she failed to stop them, which made her very anxious.
Before she could come up with a solution, there was a sudden commotion ahead.
Almost instantly, a speeding carriage rushed towards the two of them. Caixia widened her eyes, and was so scared that she dropped the things in her hands and pulled Wan Shufang back to hide.
Even though they hid in time, the carriage was moving too fast and the smoke and dust made them cough.
"Cough cough cough..."
The two of them coughed so hard that tears came out. When they saw the carriage stopped, Wan Shufang subconsciously wanted to seek justice. Before she got close, she saw the coachman waving his whip and scolding everyone.
"Get out of my way, are you blind?"
The whip cracked in the air and the horse neighed, scaring the people around and causing them to flee in panic. The crowd was in turmoil. Wan Shufang subconsciously protected Caixia and looked at the man coldly: "Riding a horse in the street and committing a crime, do you know what crime this is?"
Hearing this, a burst of mocking laughter suddenly came from the carriage. A man used a folding fan to open the carriage curtain, looked Wan Shufang up and down, and said in a mocking tone: "You are a lowly person blocking the road, and you deserve to be accidentally stepped on by my horse."
Hearing this, Caixia's eyes widened instantly. She didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful of human life: "You, you are too domineering and unreasonable."
She poked her head out from behind Wan Shufang and pointed at the man. This action also allowed Chu Yaozu to see her clearly. He curled his lips and smiled, raising his eyebrows: "Oh, there is a beautiful one here. I thought there was only this old woman."
"Girl, I think you are pretty, why don't you follow me? I won't hold your mother responsible for offending me. How do you think?"
As he said that, Chu Yaozu jumped off the carriage with a smile and reached out to touch Caixia's face. Caixia was so scared that she quickly took several steps back. Wan Shufang also stood in front of her to protect her.
The people around finally recognized who the man in front of them was.
"Isn't this the son of the magistrate of the neighboring county? How did he offend this Buddha? Go away, go away."
"Alas, those two ladies are probably in trouble."
"How can I care about others? I am not afraid of this little devil's trouble. Let's go quickly."
There were discussions all around, and everyone retreated away, obviously not daring to provoke Chu Yaozu. Chu Yaozu was very satisfied with this. He raised his head and gave an order to Wan Shufang with a condescending look: "Old woman, get out of the way."
Hearing that he was disrespectful to Wan Shufang, Caixia immediately became anxious and wanted to resist, but was stopped by Wan Shufang: "You have one more crime, robbing a woman in the street."
"You're looking for death!" Chu Yaozu's face darkened. Seeing that Wan Shufang was still not letting him go, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take this old woman and that little beauty away."
"Yes, Master!"
Chu Yaozu gave the order, and his followers immediately surrounded Wan Shufang and the other person. This happened so suddenly that Caixia was frightened.
"Madam, what should we do?" She grabbed Wan Shufang's sleeve and trembled with fear. Feeling Caixia's worry, Wan Shufang gently held her hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
After saying that, she looked at Chu Yaozu, raised her hand slightly, and sneered: "You dandy boy, you are stubborn and unrepentant."
As Wan Shufang finished her words, the secret guards who had been protecting the two of them in the dark rushed out instantly. In just a few breaths, the ground was filled with evil servants.
"Ouch…"
The people on the ground screamed in pain. Chu Yaozu was also kicked by An Yi and lay on the ground, swallowing a large mouthful of dust. He raised his head and glared at the two of them viciously.
But when he saw the secret guards around Wan Shufang, he swallowed the words on his lips, and several followers helped Chu Yaozu up.
He spat and said harshly, "You two just wait for me. I will not let this matter go."
"let's go."
Chu Yaozu shook off his followers, got on the carriage first, and fled in panic. Wan Shufang and Caixia didn't want to be watched by the crowd, so they quickly slipped away after he left.
After returning to the shop, Wan Shufang drank several glasses of water and just took a breath when she suddenly saw the green clothes that Caixia had secretly sewed.
She reached out and picked up the clothes, looking at them carefully. The clothes were worn by a man, and the words "Mozhu" were embroidered on the cuffs. The door of the room creaked, and soon Caixia's voice was heard.
"Madam, please eat some cakes to fill your stomach first."
"Caixia, when do you plan to send out the clothes you made for Master Mozhu?"
