BXBX NOVEL Chapter 255 - 255: Lookalike
Li Yu got out of the cart and saw three wool shops that were connected. The employees in the shop were busy attending to customers.
Li Yu walked in and walked around. She saw that the colors of the yarn were more varied than those in Phoenix Village, and there were more woven patterns.
After walking around the wool shop, she went to the bag shop next door and realized that there were already leather bags and gloves of various styles in the bag shop.
Li Yu saw a lady’s bag made of deer skin and said to the shop assistant, “Bring me that bag.”
The shop assistant handed the bag to Li Yu. He smiled and said to Li Yu,
“Madam, you have good taste. This is a new look.”
At this moment, a woman’s disdainful sneer came from behind Li Yu. “Ah Yue, listen. Nowadays, no matter what kind of Tom, Dick, or Harry it is, they’d call her Madam. They really don’t have any rules.”
The woman called Ah Yue smiled reproachfully. “Who cares! However, the bag in her hand is alright. Qing Zhu, get staff to bring one over for me to take a look.”
Qing Zhu walked to Li Yu’s side. Li Yu turned around and saw two 16 or 17 -year-old women standing behind her. One was wearing a light yellow dress and a cloak of the same color. She was quite pretty. The other was wearing a light purple silk robe with a purple flower dress. There was a string of pearls the size of lotus seeds around her neck. Li Yu felt that this woman looked a little familiar.
The two of them were also stunned when they saw Li Yu. The woman in the yellow dress looked at the purple-clothed woman and said, “Ah Yue, why does she look like you? Oh! She looks more like Second Aunt!”
Hearing this woman’s words, Li Yu remembered. No wonder she felt that she looked familiar.
When Ah Yue heard her say that Li Yu looked like her, she said angrily, “Where did this random person come from? You actually said that she looks like my mother and me? She’s just a commoner and not worthy!”
Only then did Li Yu realize that the two of them were talking about her. She looked at the two of them and said coldly, “You’re so sharp-tongued at such a
young age. Gu Yu, go and slap her mouth.” The two of them were shocked by Li
Yu’s coldness and shouted, “How dare you!”
Gu Yu looked at the two of them and gritted her teeth. She walked up to them
and raised her hand to slap Ah Yue. Ah Yue did not expect Gu Yu to really dare to hit her and was stunned by the slap.
The maidservant beside Ah Yue came back to her senses and pounced at Gu Yu. The woman in the light yellow dress rushed to the maidservant beside her and shouted, “Beat these two cheap slaves to death.”
Seeing the two of them pounce on her, Gu Yu nimbly dodged behind the stunned Ah Yue and pushed her onto the two of them. The three of them fell to the ground.
Qing Zhu, who was standing beside Li Yu, tried to slap Li Yu. Li Yu dodged and was seen by Ji Xiang, who had just approached Li Yu. He stepped forward and kicked Qingzhu away, knocking her into the shelf behind. With a bang, the luggage on the shelf fell to the ground.
A few maidservants who rushed over to hit Gu Yu were also kicked to the ground by Ji Xiang. Seeing that a fight had broken out, the other servants in the shop surrounded them and separated them. They persuaded, “Stop fighting, stop fighting. The magistrate officers are here.”
Ah Yue had already been helped up by the woman in the yellow dress. She looked fiercely at Li Yu and Ji Xiang and said to the woman in the yellow dress, “Ah Ruo, get the servants and old women outside to capture this bitch and these two slaves back to the residence.”
Ji Xiang walked up to the two of them and looked down at them. She sneered. “Bitch? You offended my Madam. Now, kneel down and kowtow to apologize. My wife might even forgive you for your disrespect. Who gave you the guts to want to capture my Madam?. Is there no law in the Yunzhou Prefecture? You two girls dare to capture people at will.”
Ah Ruo sneered. “Aren’t you afraid that the wind will cut your tongue? Ah Yue’s grandmother is Madam Wang, and her grandfather is the head of the Wang Clan. Aren’t you afraid that her lifespan will be shortened if Ah Yue kneels to a bitch like her?”
Li Yu clapped her hands and sneered. “I want to see how they will die today. Ji
Xiang, let them kneel in the shop.”
Seeing Ji Xiang walking toward them, the two of them retreated in fear. “If you dare, my grandfather and grandmother won’t let you off.”
Ji Xiang stepped forward and kicked their calves. Seeing that the two of them had knelt down in pain, he stood in front of them and said, “Let me tell you, in case you can’t find her. My Madam is a first-grade Madam Protector bestowed by His Majesty. My master is the new magistrate of Yunzhou. If you want to cause trouble, go to the magistrate’s office.”
At this moment, the followers and old women that the two of them had brought rushed into the shop. The followers waved their fists and rushed over to hit Ji Xiang, but they were knocked to the ground by him.
The old woman helped the two of them up. Ah Yue looked at Li Yu and wondered why she looked so similar to her mother. Who was this person? She made up her mind that she would make Li Yu pay for the humiliation she suffered today.
With this commotion, Li Yu lost interest in shopping. She said to Ji Xiang, “Let them kneel. We’re going back.”
At this moment, a few bailiffs with sabers on their waists walked into the shop and shouted, “Who’s causing trouble here? Do you want to stay inside for a few days?”
Ah Yue looked at the bailiff and said, “Catch those three lowly commoners. How dare a bitch pretend to be a first-grade madam and a magistrate’s family member here.”
The three bailiffs looked at Li Yu and felt that her bearing didn’t seem to be fake. Then, they looked at the two people dressed in rich clothes and felt that they couldn’t offend either side. They nodded and bowed as they advised, “Don’t make things difficult for us brothers. Moreover, the shops here are just running a business. Don’t make things difficult for them!”
Li Yu walked up to the two of them and raised her hand to slap each of them. “Go, call your family head over. I want to ask her if this is how a lady from a noble family raises children. Where did you get the sense of superiority to look down on people? The food you eat and the things you use are all made by the lowly people you speak of. If you have the ability, don’t use the cloth woven by the lowly people to make clothes. Don’t eat the food and fruits harvested by the lowly people!”
“Alright!” The onlookers cheered loudly. Someone in the crowd said loudly, “You’re always despising lowly commoners. If you have the ability, don’t wear the clothes woven by lowly commoners just like what this madam said. Don’t eat the food of lowly commoners!”
“That’s right! If you have the ability, use those noble hands to plant them yourself! ”
The bold one sneered, “These pampered ladies have been looking down on everyone. When we passed by her, they would cover their nose and get their followers to drive us away with whips. Without us lowly commoners, how are they going to get what they eat and wear?
The two of them were mocked by the onlookers. They covered their swollen faces and shouted at Li Yu, “Bitch, don’t run if you have the ability.” After saying that, they were about to leave with their people..
