"Who dares to tease our girl here?" Haitang put her hands on her hips and looked at the two people sitting in the box menacingly.
"Everyone is dressed neatly, but it turns out they are all guys with human faces and animal hearts. They dare to molest girls when they come to drink tea. You are so hungry, why don't you go to a brothel to find a prostitute!"
"Sister Haitang..." The girl tugged on the corner of Haitang's clothes and almost cried. She just said that a guest was teasing her, and Haitang rushed up to her without even listening to what she said next.
This is the prince! Is it really okay to do this to the prince?
"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully the girl in our teahouse." Haitang thought she was afraid and patted her hand to encourage her.
The girl opened her big eyes and burst into tears, which was particularly distressing.
"The girls in our teahouse are all girls from good families. All of them have household registration. None of them are slaves. I don't care what your status is. If you get into trouble, believe it or not, I will go to the Yamen to sue you for robbing a woman from a good family.
crime?"
Haitang spat out his words, and Bailiping's face became even more ugly.
"Do you know who I am? You actually spoke to me like this." He saw that everyone in the teahouse was so bold that he didn't want to live anymore.
She is a majestic prince, but she actually dares to point her nose at her and insult her. She may not be able to bear the charge of insulting the royal family.
After hearing what he called himself, Haitang was stunned for a moment. Bailiping thought she was scared and snorted coldly.
"If you apologize now, I can still..."
Before he could finish his words, Haitang shouted, her voice at least ten times louder.
"Come here, come and see. Your majestic prince actually acts like a hooligan in someone else's house and wants to take possession of a good girl. Is there any justice? Is there any royal law?"
"Can the prince be one step ahead of others? It is said that the emperor commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, so can the prince rape a girl in broad daylight?"
Haitang's voice not only frightened Bailiping, but also attracted many people who wanted to watch the fun.
They came to the teahouse to talk about novel and gossipy things. Now that there is gossip in front of them, everyone wants to come and see the excitement.
More and more people were paying attention here. Some who had not heard the sound were also attracted by the movement and asked the people next to them what happened.
As the protagonist of the show watched by everyone, Bailiping looked ugly: "Who raped the daughter of the people? If you slander my reputation here, I will never let you go."
He originally thought that since he had said this, the other party should also feel scared, but who knew that Haitang didn't stop doing anything and simply sat on the ground.
"Everyone, come and see, this is the prince. He wants to kill someone just to keep his mouth shut! Everyone, listen to what he said. Before, he insisted on asking our girls to accompany him. After being rejected, he became angry and asked me to take care of him.
His reputation and every good thing have been taken advantage of by him."
"It's already very difficult for us girls to do business outside, and to be harassed by such people is to jeopardize everyone's survival!"
Haitang said it exaggeratedly, one sentence after another, painstakingly.
Bailiping's face turned dark with anger. He had never seen such a shrew before, but with so many people watching now, his every word and deed might be amplified by this scoundrel woman.
"Everyone here is a guest. We are here to drink tea. If we spare other people's interest, it will not be good for the reputation of your teahouse."
"One hundred taels of silver, let's end this matter."
Yunzhen took out a banknote and put it on the table with a calm tone.
He had been drinking tea before and was not involved in what was going on here.
Only then did he raise his head for the first time.
After seeing his face clearly, the girl screamed, trembling all over, and clutched Haitang's clothes tightly.
"It's only a hundred taels and I want to..."
Haitang knew that the relationship between Bailiping's concubine and her own lady had never been harmonious, so she thought of seizing this opportunity to stain Bailiping, without even thinking about collecting cash.
But the girl was holding her tightly at this moment, her eyes filled with fear.
"Sister Haitang, let's leave quickly."
"Too many people are watching, forget it."
Her voice was crying, and Haitang thought it was the scene of so many people watching that aroused some bad memories for her, so she patted her back comfortingly.
"Okay, since you are still sincere, forget it. If this happens again in the future, don't come."
Haitang didn't want to lose like this, so he took away the one hundred taels of silver and took the girl away. The onlookers dispersed when they saw that the protagonist had left.
The girls working below gathered around her and asked her about her situation. The girl was shaking all over and looking up from time to time, her eyes full of fear.
"What happened?" Haitang realized something was wrong and asked the girl.
The girl's voice trembled: "The person who had tea with that prince... was... the boss of that organization."
The only time she saw that person was when he and Mu Xuanyi appeared together, but with just one sentence, their fate was decided.
Originally, she thought that she could not escape her tragic fate, but Mu Xuanyi did not mean to treat her harshly. He took them in without saying anything and gave them a chance to live a new life. This was not much worse than the kindness of reincarnation.
But she never dreamed that she would be able to meet that man.
Haitang realized who the person she was talking about was, and quickly handed over the matters at hand to others while she went to find Mu Xuanyi.
Because she was too eager, she didn't notice that she was being followed behind her.
At that time, Mu Xuanyi and Xiao Longbao were discussing how to make dried fruits to make them delicious. Haitang came in in a hurry, and he handed her the dried fruits that were almost ready in his hand, wanting her to try them.
Haitang took a deep breath and told her what she knew.
Mu Xuanyi's hand froze in mid-air: "You said Yunzhen is here?"
She originally thought that the other party would always be in his base camp and would never come to the capital in this life. But how long had it passed now, why did he come here?
Haitang had never been in contact with the other party. If the girl hadn't said this, she would have known nothing about it.
Seeing that Haitang was not sure, she just shook her head, and Mu Xuanyi put down the dried fruit: "I understand, it's hard for you to make this trip and tell me the news. You can go back first."
Soldiers are coming to block it, and water is coming to cover it up. The opponent has already arrived in the capital, and it is impossible for him to leave. There is absolutely no way to hide.
Mu Xuanyi held Xiao Longbao in her arms and thought about how to deal with it.
