General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 870: Injustice (2)

The woman sat on the ground silently, crying helplessly. "What should we do if something happens to him and he leaves us an orphan and a widow..."

"What kind of person is your husband?" Ji Xiaowu looked at the woman. Although her words were wrong, she was so sure about it that she became a little curious.

"...He is a kind person and never offends anyone easily." The woman wiped her tears and said, "He always said that business should be based on harmony, and it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. Moreover, he would help his neighbors when they need help. It was me who stopped him from going."

"I always feel that those people only come to me for money. He always advises me to be at ease and never blames me. I know that the neighbors don't like me, but I grew up in hardship and my personality is just like that. But he is different. He is nice to everyone and he won't do such a thing." The woman choked.

"I know my man well. Even if everyone says he is a bad man, I know he won't do such a thing for money!" The woman's eyes were so determined that Ji Xiaowu was a little surprised.

"Really?" Ji Xiao was silent for a moment, "Is there anything different in your family recently?"

"There's nothing different. It's just that my husband recruited a few new embroiderers a few days ago, and the business in the store has improved a lot. He also told me that these embroiderers were trained by Jinxiu Pavilion. He never asked about Jinxiu Pavilion before, and he vaguely told me that Jinxiu Pavilion was related to you, adults. Later, I learned from the embroiderers that the boss of Jinxiu Pavilion is a woman." The woman glanced at Ji Xiaomu and answered anyway.

Ji Xiaomu paused. Could it be that they were the girls she had driven out?

"Do you know how much monthly salary your husband gives them?" Ji Xiaomu suddenly had some ideas, but was not sure.

"He said that several bosses wanted to hire them, so he paid them six taels of silver in advance and promised to give them extra profit if they did a good job," the woman replied. "Who are you? Why are you asking about this?"

"I am the boss of Jinxiu Pavilion you mentioned!" Ji Xiaomu glanced at the woman without hiding her identity.

"...You! Are you the boss of Jinxiu Pavilion?...My husband would never do such a thing. Can you help me talk to the adults? I swear, my husband really didn't do that. My husband will always take me with him no matter what he does. I must have met everyone he knows. I have never seen those three people before." The woman grabbed Ji Xiao's hand and was ready to kneel down and beg her.

Ji Xiaowu stopped the woman from kneeling down. "If your husband is really wronged, I will definitely get to the bottom of it. Don't panic. I won't deliberately harm your husband. I founded Jinxiu Pavilion not just to make a living, but also to give those girls who are not valued by their families a chance. If your husband really didn't do this, I will definitely not wrongly accuse him."

"...Thank you." The woman's eyes finally lit up when she heard what Ji Xiaowu said. "I just said so many bad things about you, and you still helped me..."

"I understand your feelings of protecting your husband, but don't ever say such things again next time. Trouble comes from the mouth. If someone really sues you for slandering the master, you will really go to jail." Mother Ji warned.

"Yes, yes, I will never dare to do it again next time, absolutely not! I just can't keep my mouth shut." The woman slapped her own mouth, and Ji Xiaomu quickly stopped her.
