As she spoke, her voice gradually became colder, and the shopkeeper's sleeves became wet from wiping his sweat, and he trembled, almost causing his knees to go weak and kneel down to her, "Chief General is very clear, how could this little one dare to bully the customers, but that Miss Lin … "She's the empress's cousin, I really can't afford to offend her."

"She … You can't afford to offend her, but how can I just casually offend my General's Estate's Third Miss?"

"This little one doesn't dare, but …"

"You don't dare?" She patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, "From the moment you sold the hairpin to Miss Lin, it's not that you don't dare to, but you've already chosen which side to stand on. To whom should I stand?

The shopkeeper couldn't hold it in anymore and his legs went soft as he kneeled down towards her. "Chief General, I really don't have that intention!"

"Send someone to the Lin Residence to invite the Miss Lin over now. This general is a reasonable person, call them over. Let's discuss this properly."

Since the Miss Lin was here, could he still open his store?

"General, please take care of yourself. Let this little one go, this little one will make the Third Miss look exactly the same again. I will definitely deliver it to the manor to apologize some day!"

Qi Si grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and raised him up, "So we, the Third Miss, are going to suffer a loss of words and eat it, right? I'll give you two choices, either send someone to invite the Miss Lin now, or... I'll smash your shop. "

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Leping, who closed his eyes and dozed off, showing that he did not plan to care about it, or perhaps tacitly agreed to her two vice generals' solution.

In order to protect the store, he had no choice but to send someone to invite Lin Xiafu.

However, with Lin Xiafu's identity, she would definitely not be able to get him to do anything. She had to find a reason, said that she needed to beat up the hairpin, and invited her to try it.

Lin Xiafu did not doubt his presence as he rode in the carriage back to the shop.

In the end, when they arrived at the store, she did not see Zhou Leping with her hairpin, but instead saw him.

She guessed that Zhou Leping should be trying to help Zhou Lean vent his anger for the matters yesterday. If it was before, she might still be a little afraid of her, but now that her face was ruined, everyone knew the emperor's attitude towards her. There was no longer any possibility of him joining the imperial harem as a concubine anymore, so she no longer feared him anymore.

However, there was always a need to greet him. Thus, unwillingly, he turned and said, "I've seen Chief General."

Zhou Leping lowered his head and rubbed his fingertips, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "I heard that president of the Supreme Court's Cymbidium has a deep understanding, today I see... Why is it that even the most basic form of greetings is bad? It can be seen that rumors really can't be trusted. "

Lin Xiafu straightened his body, "General, do you not know, my etiquettes are all taught to me by the mama of the palace. Maybe the general is too used to seeing men practice fist arts, so he isn't used to women bowing to him.

She really was the empress's cousin, to dare bring up the empress so grandly.

Qi Si could not stand this kind of arrogant and despotic woman, who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. As she pondered, she asked Qi Miao, "I remember there's a phrase about letting Master Fu enter the sect. This master is a good master, but not someone who can bring out a good disciple just by being a good master.

Pointing at Sang Huai, Lin Xiafu was immediately enraged, "Before the General speaks ill of others, let's first put our soldiers in charge. With this kind of tone, be careful not to say anything bad, or else we might end up dying without even knowing how we do it."

Zhou Leping looked at Qi Si, and laughed uncertainly: "What happened to my soldiers? They are talking about them, we are talking about ours, what is the Miss Lin so angry about all of this? "

"Chief General, I respect you because you are a Chief General so I salute you. Don't go too far!"

"Too much bullying? You should pay your respects to me. Not to mention you, even if your father were here today, it wouldn't be too much for me to make him kneel before Shangguan. "

Zhou Leping was a first stage Chief General, and a third stage Ou'er. According to the rules of a higher level State Of Zhao officer, a lower level official must kneel to Shangguan Xing.

Lin Xiafu's face turned white, he stared at her, "Then what does the general want?"

"It's not what I want to do, it's what you want to do. Could it be that this general cannot accept the Miss Lin's courtesy?"

Right now, she couldn't move the Queen, because this was what she should do anyway.

Thus, he bowed again. He then folded his hands in a very standard manner.

But Zhou Leping's gaze was not on her, and turned to look at the jewelry.

Lin Xiafu could not squat any longer and called out to her, "General, is this enough?"

Zhou Leping did not seem to hear it either, he asked the shopkeeper who was trembling in fear, "What is this?"

Qi Si also looked around with tacit understanding, pretending that he did not know that there was someone squatting down and bowing.

The shopkeeper came forward to remind him, "General, Miss Lin is also..."

"Oh yes, didn't you call Miss Lin here to let her take the hairpin? Take it out. This general also wants to take a look. "
