"What nonsense are you talking about ?" Merchant Yu 's rat like eyes flickered slightly and he took back the cloth from Su Wan 's hands , stuffing it a lot more carefully than before " just say that you don't have money ! Don't you dare point fingers at me , I'm such a honest merchant , everyone here knows it by pointing fingers at me , you are trying to ruin my reputation !"

" Oh yeah ? I'm ruining your reputation ? Then what about you ? Such a big body like a fattened pig but your brain is not even as big as a chicken egg ! You come here , call my shop pathetic and run down , then you dare to embarrass and insult Madam Cheng , what did you think that you will be praised with open arms or what ? Why don't you open your pig like eyes and see what you are trying to sell , don't tell me that you have eaten so much fat meat that your head have been filled with fat as well - you thought you are the only one who is smart here and we all are fools ?Let me tell you - you better get out of my shop before I beat you until your wife couldn't even recognise who you are !"

With that Su Wan looked around and picked up a broom that was kept beside the entrance door and swung it at  merchant Yu 's face , she was clearly warning Merchant Yu to not take her warning as a fluke . 

" You - fine ! Do you think I want to stay in this rundown dilapidated shop ? I will never come here , never - such bad feng shui -" merchant Yu couldn't finish his words because Su Wan had swung the broom in her hands and slammed it right on his mouth , not hard enough to draw blood but hard enough to cause a sting . 

" You fat pig , did you think I was farting when I told you that I will beat you until no-one will be able to recognise you ? Still dare to talk bad ? Say another word and this broom will be right up your -" what ? Nobody got to know because Lin Yan covered Su Wan mouth and muffled whatever she wanted to say - really his wife's mouth was so poisonous when she wanted to scold someone , compared to merchant Yu , he could comfort himself with the fact that Su Wan was fairly nice to him . 

He looked at the shocked merchant Yu and smiled " Mr . Yu , the words you have spoken , I will be sure to pass all of them to our uncle Shen Hai , you might not know but this shop belongs to his late sister whom he still loves dearly , by insulting this shop you have insulted his sister , I hope you will ah - have a decent conversation when Uncle Hai comes and ask for an explanation from you "

Shen Hai was Su Wan 's third uncle who had a pharmacy in the town , he lived a quiet life but he was smart and diligent and could treat people , the saying that one should never offend a doctor or police officer was true even at that time , the second Merchant Yu heard that Shen Hai was Su Wan's uncle he jumped on his feet so fast which was nearly impossible for a fat person like him and rushed out . At first he wanted to bring some Yamen runners  but now , it was better for him to stay away . 

Once Merchant Yu was gone , Lin Yan removed his palm from Su Wan 's mouth not because he wanted to but because that little tease had bit on his skin " what's wrong with you ?" He asked rubbing the teeth marks on his palm . 

" That's what I want to ask as well, why did you not let me speak "

" Because merchant Yu is an influential merchant , if you ended up seriously offending him , it will be bad for our reputation . Even if your uncle could have saved you from not going to the Yamen , he cannot stop the peoples mouth if Merchant Yu brought Yamen runners  here - this is not the village where you can be unruly as much as you want its the town and you are a boss here , if your reputation takes a blow your shop's reputation will take a blow too , I know and I get it that you are angry that he insulted your mother's shop but you need to control yourself "

" Humph " snorted Su Wan , why do she needs to control her temper ? Was her new dresses lacking ? Even if that merchant brought the Yamen runners , people would have talked for two days and once the dresses were launched they would have forgotten all  about it but if she suffered this injustice  in silence , she would not have been able to sleep what about it ? 

But because Lin Yan was right as well , she didn't fight with him . After all she has already released some of her anger , on the merchant any way . 

" Missy you shouldn't have done that -"

" he called you senile ! "

" I know and that was really nice of you missy but Second master is right you don't have to offend people for my sake , I am just a servant of your house " though Madam Cheng was really happy that Su Wan stood up for her , she was a kind old lady who wanted no troubles , she wouldn't have liked it if her mistress 's daughter went to Yamen for her sake . 

"So what you are my mother's servant , my mother treated you really well and thought of you as her friend , if she saw that I stood silent while that man wronged you - she wouldn't be happy with me either ." Su Wan pouted unhappy that no one understood her then added "You are not that old anyways , he looked much older than you " 

Madam Cheng laughed ,Lin Yu giggled even Lin Yan shook his head , with a helpless doting expression on his face .

" alright missy what brought you here ? " asked Madam Cheng it was only then when Su Wan remembered that they actually came here for work , she looked at Lin Yu who took out his paintings and showed it to Madam Cheng. While Lin Yu was showing his paintings to Madam Cheng , Su Wan couldn't help but complain - just a single day out and I met so many annoying pests , who knows how the rest of the day will go ( A/n : drum roll - Annnnnd she jinxed it )
