Reminded by Mu Jinyuan, Madam Rites felt a sudden surge of indignation that completely eclipsed her fear of the girl.
"This Lu Shutong is really leaving us no way to survive! How can anyone do business like this? Silk in the capital has never been sold at these prices. It’s not enough that she’s eating the meat and not leaving us any broth; she’s trying to flip the whole table! My two shops are on the verge of closing. Ever since Lu Shutong started lowering her prices, my business has gone from bad to worse. If she keeps this up, I won't even be able to afford the shop assistants' wages!"
"Yuan'er, you know Lu Shutong, after all—she is your sister-in-law. Could you go and speak with her? Don't let her carry on like this, or none of us will be able to put food on the table." Madam Rites looked at Mu Jinyuan with pleading eyes.
