The entrance of the Hongqiao Dye Workshop was in an uproar.
Xiao Qiaoniang stood anxiously behind the dye workshop's counter, unable to help.
She had wanted to go out with Mrs. Liu of the Chen Family and help de-escalate the situation, but Mrs. Liu had firmly stopped her, insisting she stay inside and mind the shop.
If anything happened to Xiao Qiaoniang in the chaos, Mrs. Liu of the Chen Family would have no way to answer to Bai Yuan.
The Zhu family had arrived with menacing intent. It was clear they wouldn't let this go easily and might even resort to violence.
If Mrs. Liu of the Chen Family refused to pay compensation, given the Zhu Family's influence in town, the Hongqiao Dye Workshop probably wouldn't survive to see another day.
The law only mattered when both sides were on equal footing.
The gulf between them and the Zhu Family was simply too vast.
