The shopkeeper's expression stiffened slightly. After a moment, he forced himself to say, "I don't know what means you used to blend in among them, I... didn't notice."
Xie Liangchen interjected, "Some of the spinning threads you brought are indeed from our Chen Family Village, and I will return the Silver Coin to you. However, the ones picked out are not from the Chen Family Village. You mixed them in to defraud money and ruin the reputation of our Chen Family Village."
The shopkeeper glanced nervously at the woman from the embroidery workshop.
The woman opened her mouth, "Your words are unfounded."
Xie Liangchen said, "I've already sent someone to report to the government office, asking the officials to seek justice for us."
The woman had thought before that if the Chen Family Village refused to return the Silver Coin, they would take the matter to the government office, but she hadn't expected the Chen Family Village to report it first.
