The boss's shouting, coupled with the sound of clattering things and other persuasive voices, attracted more people to watch the excitement in the box.
For a time, the Lin'an restaurant turned into a mess.
Hearing the sound of furniture being broken again, the boss almost cried. What evil had he done? Meeting such a group of untouchables, and seeing someone about to take action, he shouted, "My golden nanmu screen!"
Everything in the box was broken.
The shopkeeper's heart was almost broken.
"Please, gentlemen, young ancestors, gentlemen, I beg you to please me, this shop cannot withstand this kind of torment!" Seeing the young men from aristocratic families in the box fighting each other hard, the shopkeeper stomped his feet cruelly and directed at
The waiter at the door asked, "Are they all blind? Why don't you come in quickly and pull everyone apart? Hurry up!"
The news of Gu Jinghuan's attack at Lin'an Restaurant quickly spread to Gu Hou's Mansion.
When Mr. Gu heard that his son was fighting, he stood up in shock, "What? Fighting?"
"The young Marquis fought with someone in Lin'an Restaurant. He said he beat up the third son of the Minister of Rites. He also alerted the people who inspected the room. Now he has been taken away!" the housekeeper of Guhou Mansion said hurriedly.
Lord Gu looked gloomy and said, "In this case, you go there in person and bring Heng'er back! Give the order and don't let Madam know."
"Yes." The housekeeper quickly responded and left.
The next morning, when Shen Zi heard the news, she couldn't stop smiling.
The maid was holding a jade comb, applying flower oil on her head, and combing Shen Zi's hair. Ling Shuang was standing beside her, talking to Shen Zi. What happened yesterday between Gu Jinghuan and the young master of the Minister of Rites.
"I didn't know that Gu Jinghuan was so angry, but he wanted to kill someone just for a few idle words. It seems that he has been pretending to do so over the years."
Shen Zi closed her eyes and leaned on the huanghuali wood chair, holding two soft pillows with her elbows.
The two maids knelt on the other side of the soft body and soaked Shen Zi's hands in the warm water.
"The young lady is wise enough to break off the engagement with Mr. Gu Xiaohou as soon as possible."
Ling Shuang scooped up a dollop of the ointment with her hand, rubbed it in circles, and then gently pressed it on Shen Zi's smooth and fair face.
"I heard that Miss Lu, seeing something was wrong, left early through the back door without looking at who was causing trouble," Ling Shuang said.
Shen Zi opened her eyes, thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, what will the second uncle say?"
After wiping Shen Zi's face, Ling Shuang took over the position of the maid who combed her hair, and continued, "Second Master said that after smashing so many things, don't let those young men from aristocratic families get away with it in vain. Since this matter has not been done, he will not
I'm so embarrassed to ask for your money. As for the restaurant and the damaged things, he will take over them all, but I don't know if you are willing?"
Shen Zi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and pursed her lips slightly, "Second uncle is quite shrewd. The money he took from me was only a few taels of silver, but the restaurant and the smashed things were different. Could it be that he took the bill?
Go, those aristocratic families will default on their debts, after all, he has the Shen family as his backer, and yesterday’s incident is well known to everyone, I’m afraid they all want to resolve the matter as soon as possible.”
"And that restaurant, after something like this happened today, I think the business will be even more prosperous in the future!"
Shen Zi took her hand out of the warm water and said, "When you give the title deed and house deed of the restaurant to your second uncle, tell him that your niece was not sensible that day and ask him to be more patient. After all, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. Don't hurt her."
Only when you are harmonious."
"And let the second uncle count it carefully, especially since the Gu family is not short of these few taels of silver."
The two maids quickly wiped Shen Zi's hands dry with soft handkerchiefs.
"Miss is still thinking about the second wife, and I don't think the second master will say anything! It's just that yesterday I didn't go as Miss wanted, and the matter of Miss Lu's robbery of the restaurant with the second master of Shen's family was revealed in a lively manner," Ling Shuang said with a smile. .
"It doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved!"
The young Marquis of the Gu family showed up at Lin'an Restaurant and started beating up people. The incident caused a bigger sensation than when Lu Li and the second master of the Shen family robbed the restaurant.
Especially when someone later said that the Lu family colluded with the Gu family, and what happened at the palace banquet between Lu Li and Gu Jingheng... it was such an unexpected surprise!
"Just watch! This capital is going to be lively!"
As soon as Shen Zi finished speaking, Aunt Jade, who was beside Ms. Xie, walked in. After giving Shen Zi a blessing, she covered her lips and whispered a few words in Shen Zi's ear.
Shen Zi's eyes suddenly tightened, and she turned to look at Aunt Yu with an angry look on her face, "Seriously ill?"
Aunt Yu said on her forehead, "The person who came to report the news said this. The old slave didn't even tell me about my wife, so he hurriedly came to report the news to the young lady."
"How do you take care of the people around Princess Yongning? Why can't you do such a small thing well? Could it be that some dirty tricks were used to make her sick?" Shen Zi was furious.
"Miss, the old slave has already asked Aunt Hua who delivered the news clearly. She said that since the princess returned to the palace that day, she has been feeling a little unwell. The original imperial concubine thinks it is nothing important. It can be seen that the days are passing by, but it is not good. , that’s when I became suspicious!”
"But I asked the imperial doctor to see it, and it was true that the cause of the disease could not be found. In the past, this nanny had a good relationship with the old slave, and thinking about the princess, she often played with the young lady, so she revealed a few words in the conversation, saying that she was just afraid..."
Aunt Yu's words came to her lips, but she didn't dare to continue.
Shen Zi raised her hand to signal Ling Shuang, who was combing her hair, to stop. She straightened up with her hands on the chair and said sternly, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that something unclean has been caught. Some people say that the imperial concubine is from southern Xinjiang. Maybe I made an issue out of Princess Yongning in order to win His Majesty's favor. He also said... Princess Yongning is just putting on a show, just like her mother-in-law. …”
"Okay." Shen Zi interrupted Aunt Yu sharply, "They can also arrange the princess and the concubine? I really don't want to live anymore!"
Seeing that Shen Zi's expression was wrong, Aunt Yu comforted her, "Miss, please don't be nervous. The princess's illness is the key now..."
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!" Shen Zi held the armrest of the seat hard, her face turned red, "What a palace! There are still people so presumptuous! What about the Queen? Does the Queen tolerate these people saying such choreographed words?"
"Miss!" Ling Shuang put the jade comb in his hand into the sandalwood box next to him and persuaded her softly, "Miss, don't be angry. Those gossips are not enough to hurt people. It's just that the princess is the most important right now. Regardless of them , saving the princess is what matters!”
Shen Zi leaned back slowly, "Yes! Yongning is the most important."
"Aunt Yu, could you please take a trip and take my post to my grandmother's house? Hurry!"
How dare someone hurt Yongning, no matter who she is, she must pay the price!

Just after dawn, Nanny Ding hurriedly entered the Hengwu Courtyard where the Song family lived. When she saw the Song family getting up, she vividly described yesterday's events to Shen.
