Shop turmoil

Since the trip to the palace, Bai Linglong's ice cream business has become increasingly prosperous, with branches opening up all over the capital like mushrooms after rain.

The sun shines through the thin clouds and falls on every corner of the city. It is a gentle breeze that day, and it is a good time to go out.

Bai Linglong wanted to inspect the store to see how the business was going and to encourage the employees.

She carefully selected a simple, elegant, solid-colored long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently as she walked, like rippling water waves.

She had a small jade hairpin pinned to her bun, and the warm luster made her skin look whiter than snow. She looked fresh and refined, exuding a gentle yet firm temperament.

When the children heard that their mother was going to the store, they were instantly excited and surrounded Bai Linglong, clamoring to go with her.

Nan Jinxuan's face was full of anticipation, and his eyes sparkled as he said, "Mother, I want to go check out the smoothies in the store. I hope they are still as delicious as last time.

I'm sure I can think of new flavors! ”

Nan Jinyi was so excited that he danced with joy, shouting, "I'm going to tell jokes to the uncles and aunts in the store, so that they can be happy while working, and the business will definitely be more popular!"

Nan Jinyu patted his round chest, looking like a little adult:

"I'm going to help mother with the work. Don't look at my young age, I'm very strong. Moving things is no problem for me!"

Nan Jinyao blinked her big watery eyes, and took Bai Linglong's hand and acted coquettishly: "I want to perform a dance for everyone, and I guarantee that all the customers in the store will like it."

Bai Linglong looked at the innocent and cute children and was infected by their enthusiasm. She smiled and nodded in agreement.

The group came to the branch in the most prosperous area of ​​​​the capital in a mighty procession. It was bustling with people coming and going.

In the shop, the guys greeted customers warmly with sincere smiles on their faces.

The sweet aroma of smoothies and ice cream filled the air, attracting the attention of passers-by. People were attracted by the tempting smell and walked into the store to find out.

Bai Linglong watched this with satisfaction and was about to discuss the business situation with the shopkeeper when a sharp and piercing voice suddenly came over.

"Hey, look who is this?

Is this Bai Linglong?

Just a few days later, your business has grown so big that you start showing off everywhere? ”

Tang Yiyi twisted her waist and squeezed through the bustling crowd with a group of guards and maids.

She was wearing an overly bright outfit, the colors were dazzling, her face was heavily made up, but beneath the thick powder, her eyes were full of jealousy and contempt, like an angry female beast, staring at Bai Linglong viciously.

Bai Linglong frowned, secretly regretting how unlucky she was to meet this difficult woman at this time.

Before Bai Linglong could respond, Tang Yiyi started yelling again:

"Humph, a wild girl who came out of nowhere dares to open a shop in this capital city. You should take a piss and look at your own identity. Do you think you are worthy of competing with me?"

As she spoke, she swung her handkerchief exaggeratedly, and her arrogant and domineering appearance attracted the attention of the people around her.

Upon seeing this, the children immediately surrounded Bai Linglong like little animals protecting their mother.

Nan Jinxuan bravely stood at the front, his face flushed red, and shouted: "You are not allowed to bully my mother!

You bad woman, watch your mouth! ”

Nan Jinyi was not willing to show weakness, he put his hands on his waist and puffed up his cheeks: "That's right, if you talk nonsense again, we won't let you go easily!"

Nan Jinyu was so angry that he clenched his fists, his joints turned white from the force, and he looked like he was ready to rush up to Tang Yiyi and fight her to the death at any time:

"If you dare to say anything bad about my mother again, I will be polite!"

Nan Jinyao held on tightly, pulling at the corner of Bai Linglong's clothes, with a hint of fear in her eyes, but more of determination, and said in a low but firm voice: "You are not allowed to bully my mother."

Tang Yiyi looked at the children who stood in front of Bai Linglong. Her already angry mood was instantly ignited, and her face turned red like a ripe tomato, almost bleeding.

She took a big step forward and said viciously, "Get out of my way, little bastards!

Don't block my way. ”

As he said that, he reached out his hand and tried to push Nan Jinxuan, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on this child.

Bai Linglong was quick-witted and quick-handed. The moment Tang Yiyi reached out her hand, she took a step forward and kicked Tang Yiyi on the shoulder without hesitation.

The kick was not powerful enough and Tang Yiyi was caught off guard. She fell backwards like a kite with a broken string and landed on the ground in a mess.

Her hair was a little loose, with a few strands hanging messily on her face, looking very funny.

Bai Linglong looked at her coldly, her voice full of doubt and majesty: "I warned you not to cause trouble in front of me.

You still want to touch my child? You are too impatient to live! ”

Tang Yiyi got up from the ground in a panic, and while frantically tidying up her clothes and hair, she cursed:

"You little bitch, you stole my cousin and you're still showing off in front of me!

Who do you think you are!

If you give me an explanation tomorrow, I will never let you go! ”

Her voice was sharp and piercing, which was particularly abrupt in the noisy street, attracting curious glances from the people around.

The people around heard the noise and gathered around, pointing at Tang Yiyi.

A middle-aged man shook his head and said helplessly, "Tang Yiyi from the Duke's Mansion has started to act up again. She comes to cause trouble every few days. It's really shameful."

A young girl covered her mouth and giggled, whispering to her companions: "Look at her character, no matter how good-looking she is, she still dreams of becoming a princess every day. She should think about herself, she really thinks she is a fairy."

An old lady also echoed, "That's right, Princess Bai Linglong is beautiful, capable, and kind-hearted. How can she compare to her? They are simply as different as heaven and earth."

Although the people were talking loudly, every word they said was like a needle, piercing Tang Yiyi's heart.

Bai Linglong listened to Tang Yiyi's insults and her eyes became colder, like a deep pool in the cold night, without a trace of warmth.

She turned to Wanqing and Huiqiao, and said in a high but authoritative voice: "Wanqing Huiqiao, slap me twenty times.

Since she likes to talk nonsense so much, teach her some rules. ”

Wanqing and Huiqiao immediately obeyed the order. Both of them were well-trained maids in the palace and were agile. They saw each of them grab one of Tang Yiyi's arms and hold her down so that she could not move.

“How dare you!

I am the daughter of the Duke's Mansion!

If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay for it! ”

Tang Yiyi struggled desperately, kicking her legs like a trapped beast, yelling loudly, trying to intimidate the opponent with her identity.

“Bang!”

Huiqiao slapped her mercilessly, and a red palm print immediately appeared on Tang Yiyi's face, clearly visible.

"You'll be allowed to bully the princess!"

Huiqiao said as she beat him, with a hint of anger in her voice.

Every time he struck, the people around him cheered.

“Well done!

People like this should be taught a lesson, they are too arrogant. ”

"Let's see if she dares to be so arrogant again in the future."

The voices of the people rose and fell, like waves, drowning out Tang Yiyi's shouting and cursing.

“Bang!”

Wan Qing immediately gave another slap, and the crisp sound echoed in the street.

"Seeing the princess salute is your sin!"

Wan Qing's voice was clear and loud. Every time he spoke a word, he slapped Tang Yiyi hard, causing her head to tilt to one side.

Tang Yiyi's face swelled up quickly, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. She looked very embarrassed.

But she still gave up, and kept cursing: "You lowly things, when I go back and tell my father, you will all die!"

However, she threatened to make a last-ditch effort in front of everyone.

Wang Meng and Zhao Gang, with the palace guards, acted quickly, stopped the Duke's palace guards and maids, and asked them to come forward.

The guards of the Duke's Mansion, seeing their young lady being bullied, immediately became furious and wanted to rush over to save Tang Yiyi, but were blocked by Wang Meng, Zhao Gang and their men.

Wang Meng was a burly man, as tall as a small mountain. He said loudly, "Don't be impulsive. No one can disobey the princess' order.

Tang Yiyi openly provoked the princess and had to be punished. ”

Zhao Gang also echoed: "That's right, if you dare to take action, you will go against the palace."

The guards of the Duke's Mansion were frightened by their momentum and dared to act rashly for a moment. They could only watch Tang Yiyi being slapped in the face.

“Bang!

Bang!

Bang! ”

The sound of slaps continued to ring out, one after another, and Tang Yiyi's shouting and cursing gradually died down, and she was no longer as arrogant as at the beginning.

After the twenty slaps, Tang Yiyi collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with fear and resentment, her makeup was smudged by tears and blood, her hair was a mess, and she looked like a madman.

Bai Linglong walked forward, looked down at Tang Yiyi, without a trace of pity in her eyes, and said coldly: "This is a lesson for you. If you dare to mess with me and my family next time, it won't be so easy.

I slapped you on the face today, but it won’t be so easy next time. ”

After saying that, Bai Linglong, along with the children, guards and maids, walked into the shop with her head held high and her chest puffed out under the gaze of everyone.

Tang Yiyi and her men were left behind, and left in disgrace amid the mockery and pointing of the crowd.

The people around, watching Tang Yiyi leave, began to discuss: "She should behave herself for a while now."

"Who knows? Maybe they'll come back to cause trouble in a few days."

After Bai Linglong entered the store, she immediately regained her usual calmness and discussed the store's operations seriously with the shopkeeper, as if the disturbance had never happened.

But this conflict, like a bullet, caused ripples in the capital's marketplace, becoming a topic of conversation among the common people after dinner, and also making Bai Linglong even more famous.
