Chapter 268 Making Trouble

Gu Huan looked up and saw the Pei family’s noisy building.

There was a group of beautiful women singing and dancing in the hall on the first floor, and the seats were packed around.

"Let's go in and eat. The Pei family's Xuanhualou in Bianjing has Jiangling flavor and is very unique. I wonder if the Xuanhualou in Juzhou is just as delicious."

"OK."

Zhou Zhilan and Zhao Luoxuan happily carried Gu Huan and walked inside together.

The shopkeeper was busy as a clerk. When he saw Gu Huan and the others coming in, he quickly handed the customers to the waiter and went to greet them personally.

"Princess, Madam Mu, please go upstairs."

There is a suite on the second floor reserved for VIP guests.

The three of them sat down, and the shopkeeper asked with a smile: "Princess, Madam Mu, do you want to order your own food or do you want me to arrange it?"

Gu Huan smiled and said, "You can arrange it."

"Okay, please take a seat."

The three of them were eating melon seeds, laughing and chatting.

A quarter of an hour later, a table full of delicious dishes was served.

Donghua, Akabane and the others also set up a table in the outer hall and ate and drank happily.

Gu Huan vaguely heard a noise coming from downstairs.

Zhou Zhilan and the others also heard it, put down their chopsticks and listened.

"Please let me go, sir. I am just a dancer and I don't sell my body. Sir, please, ah... help me..."

"You stinky girl, I asked you to drink with me because I think highly of you, but you are shameless, aren't you?"

The shopkeeper's voice was nervous: "Sir, they are invited by our store to perform, they are not singing for money."

"Get lost! I'm interested in a prostitute, it's none of your business!"

The shopkeeper naturally couldn't let him bully others in Xuanhua Building, otherwise, the Pei family's newly opened business would be ruined.

Moreover, the princess and Gu Huan were both upstairs, and the shopkeeper was not afraid of this group of people, so he continued to persuade them patiently: "Sir, please let this girl go, this is a noisy building, not a brothel!"

The man was extremely arrogant: "That's easy, bring him back to the mansion, and I'll play with him however I want!"

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way."

"Help! Boss, save me."

"Master, you can't take people away...ah!"

The shopkeeper was kicked over by them.

"How can you hit someone?"

Gu Huan frowned: "Akayu, go and take a look."

Everyone knows that the restaurant opened by the Pei family is related to Madam Mu, and no one has ever been so presumptuous here. But someone actually dared to cause trouble on this day, and chose the first restaurant opened by the Pei family. It must not be an ordinary trouble caused by a woman.

"I'll go take a look too."

Zhou Zhilan stood up and followed him out.

Donghua and Dongqing walked in and stood behind Gu Huan to serve her.

The noise below was getting louder and louder, and there were also sounds of tables, chairs, benches being smashed and dishes being smashed.

Zhao Luoxuan stood up: "I'll go take a look, don't move."

In case the other party's status is relatively high, Chiyu and Zhou Zhilan will have concerns after all. The princess now has a high reputation in Juzhou, so she will go to support Chiyu and others.

Those who were causing trouble naturally didn't dare to go too far when they saw her.

Gu Huan didn't want to move either, it was so messy and she wanted to avoid hitting her stomach.

Her due date is at the end of August, so there can't be any mistakes.

"What kind of princess are you? They say a phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken, and you are not even as good as this prostitute. At least the little bitch can enjoy men, but a man like you who is still a widow would think it's unlucky to touch him."

Zhou Zhilan was furious and shouted, "How dare you! Chiyu, slap me in the face!"

Akabane was already so angry that he exploded, and without any hesitation, he slapped him twice.

"The people from the Duke's Mansion beat people up. The people from the Duke's Mansion bullied people by taking advantage of their power."

Gu Huan frowned: "Donghua Dongqing, help me out."

Donghua was a little worried: "Madam, it's better not to go out. It's a bit messy."

"It doesn't matter. I can't let the princess be humiliated, and I can't let them humiliate the Duke's Mansion."

Gu Huan walked out of the room and looked down.

Several men in fancy clothes were making a scene below. One of them was sitting on the ground screaming like a shrew, while grabbing a dancer with one hand.

The man almost stripped off the dancer's top. The belt of the dancer's top was wrapped around her neck. The man held it tightly with both hands, and the dancer's face turned red.

The man's arms were very thick, and he was obviously a soldier.

Akabane and the others did not dare to act rashly, for fear that the dancer's neck would be broken if he exerted too much force.

Today is the first time that such a grand July 7th Festival is held after the ceasefire in Juzhou. Not only civilians and soldiers come out to have fun, but also merchants from all over the country.

Such a sudden incident involved the princess and the Duke's Mansion, and more and more people gathered to watch.

Zhao Luoxuan was so angry that she cried, but she was no match for these hooligans, so the maid protected her behind her.

Zhou Zhilan and Chiyu were so angry that their faces turned black. They could have taken action, but this group of people actually shouted at the people from the Duke's Mansion to beat people up.

This is Juzhou. If people were to spread rumors that the Duke's Mansion was bullying others, the Madam and the old lady would be discredited.

Akabane and the others had no choice but to pick up one each and drag them out.

But that group of people simply played tricks. Some of them grabbed the door frame tightly, some hugged other people's thighs, and one dragged a dancer tightly. The two fell to the ground. He strangled the dancer's neck with one hand and shouted that the Duke's Mansion was beating people and that the Duke's Mansion colluded with merchants to make dirty money from the people of Juzhou.

He blurted out all sorts of nonsense without caring at all.

It was clear at first glance that this group of people were up to no good.

When Gu Huan heard this, a surge of anger rushed to her head.

She took out the short crossbow from her waist, aimed it between the legs of the man sitting on the ground, and pressed the ring without hesitation.

whoosh!

An arrow hit the man right in the crotch, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

There was deathly silence all around.

The man looked down at the short arrow stuck in his crotch, stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up towards the second floor.

I saw a beautiful pregnant woman standing by the railing.

A pair of cold eyes stared at him grimly.

Akabane reacted very quickly, swinging his sword in an instant and cutting the belt around the dancer's neck. Zhou Zhilan pulled the dancer back.

The waiter quickly handed over the clothes and Zhou Zhilan wrapped the person up.

The person sitting on the ground was stunned for a moment, and suddenly pointed at Gu Huan: "The Duke's widow killed someone!"

Without saying a word, Gu Huan raised the crossbow and aimed it at the man.

"Boss, close the door!"

The shopkeeper rushed to the door like the wind, and several waiters rushed over to help. They pushed away the people who were crowding outside the door, slammed the door shut, and several people held the door against their bodies.

Although they didn't know what Gu Huan would do, they could only trust Gu Huan.

The guards dragged those people back and threw them towards the people sitting on the ground. Several people were piled up on top of each other like a pyramid.

The guests in the hall were frightened, but the door was closed and they couldn't go out. They all huddled in a corner, fearing that they would be affected.

Gu Huan held the short crossbow and walked down the stairs step by step.

Suddenly, she felt a different gaze.

He glanced over and was slightly stunned.

It’s the man who just shone the spotlight.

Everyone squeezed to the back, and he was the only one sitting on the chair, watching the show leisurely.

How did he end up here?

The people sent by Akabane didn't keep an eye on them.

But right now, she couldn't care less.

Gu Huan pointed a short crossbow at the leading man and ordered coldly, "Akayu, tie up these troublemakers!"

Akabane and his men rushed forward and tied the man up.

The leader was unwilling to give in. Seeing that there were so many guests here, Gu Huanding didn't dare to kill him in public, so he plucked up the courage to curse.

"You are a widow who brings bad luck to your husband. Not only did you kill the Duke, but you also took advantage of the Duke's Mansion to do whatever you want! What did we say wrong?"

The others also stiffened their necks: "That's right. Juzhou was protected by the Duke and the Mu family army with their blood, and you women are letting it be trampled on."

"A princess who committed a crime and was demoted has become a widow of a wealthy family. A widow whose husband died and whose child she is pregnant with is unknown. She sits back and enjoys the fruits of her labor and acts tyrannically. We refuse to accept this!"

"Men of Juzhou, you are all cowards. You let these two women ride on your heads and shit on you, and you don't even dare to fart!"

Akabane was so angry that he slapped each of them.

The one who was beaten started foaming at the mouth and his eyes were a little flustered, but he still stood straight and wanted to continue cursing.
