Those noble ladies went out one after another intending to have a chance encounter with Zhen Niang. It would be best if they could establish a good relationship with her.
When Zhen Niang went to Gu Xiruo's shop, those noble ladies also followed in to see what fabric she chose.
Someone from the embroiderer's shop also went to inform Gu Xiruo that Zhen Niang had come to the store.
Gu Xiruo, who was lying in bed pretending to be sick, was very happy to hear the news. She asked her maid to take her to the store.
However, when Gu Xiruo went there, what she got was not Zhen Niang's love and praise, but anger.
Gu Xiruo stared at the angry Zhen Niang in a daze, and walked over with the help of the maid: "What happened to Zhen Niang? Did the shop assistant offend you?"
Zhen Niang looked Gu Xiruo up and down, and the look in her eyes made Gu Xiruo feel a little puzzled.
"Is this the best silk in your store? One thousand taels a piece?" Zhen Niang didn't beat around the bush with Gu Xiruo, but pointed at the cloth that the clerk had given her before and asked while suppressing her anger.
Gu Xiruo took a look and nodded slightly: "Yes, is there anything wrong with this fabric?"
Zhen Niang was so angry at Gu Xiruo's nonchalant attitude that she laughed: "What's the problem? You use a piece of silk soaked in water to tease me? Is this how you treat customers in your shop?"

"You gave me a defective product for one thousand taels. Our young master asked us to buy this cloth and send it to the young mistress. You sold me this kind of thing. Do you want to embarrass me in front of our young mistress?" Zhen Niang said angrily.
Everyone who came in with Zhen Niang to buy cloth frowned. The cloth here had been soaked in water
"Niang Zhen, how could our store use defective products? Is there some misunderstanding?" Gu Xiruo said stutteringly.
She must handle this matter today. If it is not handled well, with so many people around, it will definitely have a bad impact on her business, which is not what she wants.
"Niang Zhen, let's talk slowly, don't be anxious." Gu Xiruo could only calm down Zhen Niang now.
"Tell me slowly? You have such a big store, and yet you took out this kind of fabric. Who are you trying to disgust?" Zhen Niang didn't buy Gu Xiruo's nonsense and scolded her angrily.
"Niang Zhen, maybe the waiter took it by mistake. I'll ask her to get it for you again, and I'll give you a set of clothes as compensation. Is that okay with you?" Gu Xiruo lowered her head and acted humble. This was the only way to solve the problem.
"No need to send it. I've always heard that the ready-made clothes you have are good. Let me take a look." Zhen Niang glanced at Gu Xiruo and spoke calmly.
"Go get the ready-made clothes." Seeing that Zhen Niang did not continue to pursue the matter, Gu Xiruo finally felt relieved.
The shopkeeper looked at Gu Xiruo hesitantly, "Miss..."
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go get the ready-made clothes?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was not going to get the ready-made clothes but was still nagging at her, Gu Xiruo suddenly felt unhappy. How could this shopkeeper have no vision at all
Seeing that Gu Xiruo didn't notice his gaze at all, the shopkeeper had no choice but to bite the bullet and go get the ready-made clothes.
After the shopkeeper brought the ready-made clothes, Zhen Niang looked at them with interest. As soon as she touched them, her expression changed: "Miss Gu, are you kidding me? Is this your ready-made clothes? What's going on?"
Gu Xiruo's expression was a little embarrassing. She looked at Zhen Niang with dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"I'm here to cause trouble? Gu Xiruo, come and feel the fabrics of these ready-made clothes in your house and see what the hell they are made of." Zhen Niang said coldly while holding one of the clothes.
Gu Xiruo walked over and reached out to pull the clothes. It was a Yunjin dress, which would be sold for about five hundred taels. However, a Yunjin garment at this price was definitely of the best Yunjin with the embroidery and style.
"Gu Xiruo, not only are there lumps on this brocade, but what kind of embroidery is on it? You're selling this tattered piece of clothing for five hundred taels? You're deceiving your customers."
The lady, who had previously spent five hundred taels to buy a piece of clothing from Gu Xiruo, now looked very upset.
Looking down at the clothes on her body, she happened to be wearing this dress today. She was really lucky.
"Mrs. Zhen, can you take a look at my clothes? I spent five hundred taels to buy it from her." The lady walked up to Zhen Niang and asked softly.
"Okay." Zhen Niang reached out and touched the clothes the other person was wearing. As soon as she touched them, she knew that the clothes were also made of defective products.
Seeing Zhen Niang not saying a word, the lady was as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly: "Zhen Niang, just tell me what you think of this dress. I am mentally prepared."
Zhen Niang looked at the lady with sympathy and spent five hundred taels of silver to buy this thing.
"The dyeing is uneven and there are lumps. Although they cleverly cover it up with embroidery and most people can't feel it, people like us who deal with fabrics all year round can tell whether the fabric is good or not just by touching it." This is a skill they have acquired through years of practice, and most people can't compare to it.
"You two have colluded with each other and are here to cause trouble for me." Gu Xiruo said with a gloomy face.
Before Zhen Niang opened her mouth, the lady angrily said, "Who colluded? Gu Xiruo, if you have any shame, Zhen Niang has been to all the big stores in the capital and bought a lot of fabrics. If Zhen Niang wants to cause trouble for you, can't she just come to your store? Are you crazy to spend thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy fabrics from others and then come to cause trouble for you?"
This Gu Xiruo really thinks highly of me. She doesn't even realize what kind of person I am. Is it worth it for others to spend tens of thousands of taels to cause trouble for her
"Our Madam's birthday is coming soon, and our Young Master has asked us to use the best fabric to make some clothes for her. If I hadn't run out of ordinary fabric, do you think I would come to your shop?" Zhen Niang said angrily.
Gu Xiruo's face turned red with anger, and the sickness caused by pretending to be sick completely disappeared at this moment.
"Gu Xi, if you sell inferior products as good ones at such a high price, you will go to jail." The emperor has clear regulations on this point.

If she passes inferior products off as good ones too many times and is discovered, Gu Xiruo will be in big trouble.
Many of the people present were regular customers of Gu Xiruo's store. After hearing this, they walked over to Zhen Niang and said anxiously, "Zhen Niang, we bought a lot of things from her. Can you help us take a look?"
If someone else said this, they would definitely not believe it, but this person is Zhen Niang, Xuan Kingdom's number one embroiderer, and her words are more credible than Gu Xiruo's.
Zhen Niang nodded with a straight face: "Okay, go get it and I'll show it to you."
Everyone who bought cloth from Gu Xiruo went to get the ready-made clothes they bought or the clothes made from the cloth.
After Zhen Niang helped them identify one by one, she found that only one-third of them bought normal items, and the others were all defective products.
This result angered everyone. Those who bought defective products glared at Gu Xiruo angrily: "Gu Xiruo, compensate us for our losses."
