Kapitel 720: Chapter 722: Dog Fights Dog, Mouth Full Of Fur

Regaining herself, Madame Hao quickly said, "How was I to know the hairpin would end up with her? Perhaps someone stole it and deliberately framed me. It must be Bai Ruozhu, she has quite a few skilled martial arts guards around her."

Jiang Yichun shot a glare at Madame Hao, urging himself to scold her for being so impulsive. But they were in the Public Hall, where outbursts were inappropriate, so he held his tongue.

"I heard that you don't honour your trading commitments. You rented the shop to Bai Ruozhu, but once you saw her successful business, you wanted the shop back. Is this true?" Kuai Minglang asked.

Madame Hao blinked her eyes frantically and said hastily, "Your Honour, I planned to give that shop to my younger sister-in-law to manage so that it could serve as her dowry in the future. As for the matter of compensation, I planned to pay the Commerce Association in the next few days. There's no reason that Bai Ruozhu would not be allowed to conduct her business."
