At Xiao Qingwei's command, the two obedient guards turned around and overturned the tables and chairs on the stall.
Seeing them walking towards the soup pot stove at the stall again, the old couple didn't bother to argue with Xiao Qingwei and his sister, and immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Have some mercy, brave man! Don't destroy our stall!"
"We were wrong. Sir, please be kind and forgive us this time! Wuwuwu..."
The two of them ignored the two elders' obstruction. In just a few moments, the hot bone soup in the big pot, the round wontons, and the various seasonings on the table were all spilled onto the ground, covered with mud, and seeped into the soil, becoming waste.
The two old men knelt on the ground in despair, crying and sobbing. They looked at Xiao Qingwei and his sister, who were smiling and obviously in a good mood, but they dared not say anything.
The two of them looked as if they were used to this situation, and it was obvious that they had done this many times.
Xiao Minru looked at the mess on the ground and nodded with satisfaction, with a defiant look on her face, "This is the result of offending this princess." As she spoke, she glanced around and pointed at herself, saying, "Remember this face of this princess, and keep your eyes open from now on."
After they left, the onlookers dared to discuss the matter in groups of three or four.
After the two returned, Princess Wenxuan casually asked, "How is it? How does the capital compare to Chuzhou?"
Xiao Minru curled her lips and said, "It's not that bad. Our Chuzhou is still the best." Whenever she went out, there were people following her, respecting her and praising her. It was nothing like in the capital, where two old guys dared to come and cause trouble.
Princess Wenxuan didn't know what had just happened. She just thought she was used to it in Chuzhou and didn't think much of it. She looked at the tall city wall with a face full of longing and murmured, "This is the center of power..."
The emperor had known about Prince Wenxuan's family's arrival in Beijing long beforehand, but he hadn't taken it to heart. Upon receiving the official's news, he simply said, "Just follow the rules."
After hearing the emperor's words, the Minister of Rites thought for a moment, then turned around and casually ordered one of his subordinates to go and meet them.
By the time the officials from the Ministry of Rites rushed to the city gate, it was already two hours later.
Xiao Minru and the others were getting impatient. As soon as they saw the official sent by the Ministry of Rites, they started scolding him without saying anything.
The unlucky Chen Wenqing lowered his head and was scolded bitterly. Zhao Yiming, the third place winner in the imperial examination at the same time, was promoted. After all, he was the second place winner. He had been in the Ministry of Rites for so long but was still like a nobody.
Originally, his superiors had finally assigned him a job today, and he thought he was going to be rich! But it turned out to be such a tough job.
Chen Wenqing was scolded for a full quarter of an hour until Princess Wenxuan spoke. He felt as if he had been pardoned. Although he was obviously feeling very aggrieved, he still had to put on a smile and send them to the post station.
As a result, after arriving at the post station, Xiao Minru scolded him again, "The Empress Dowager is my grandmother, and you want me to live in the post station? Are you blind? Go and arrange it quickly, my princess wants to live..." in the palace.
"Minru..." Seeing Xiao Minru speaking without restraint, Princess Wenxuan quickly interrupted her.
Turning to look at Chen Wenqing, he said, "My lord, you must be a little irritated after the long journey. Please don't take it to heart."
After sending Chen Wenqing away with a few words, he began to lecture Xiao Minru.
"Minru, the capital is not Chuzhou. You should control your temper. What to say and what not to say, your mother told you when you were in Chuzhou. Be careful with what you say and do, and don't delay your father's important business."
At this time, she didn't know what good things Xiao Minru had done at the city gate. After instructing the servants to pack up their things, she hurried back to her room, wrote a note and had someone send it to the palace.
Now, the three of them were completely unfamiliar with the capital, and their only way to gain a foothold was to quickly contact the Empress Dowager. The arrogant family didn't even take the Jiang family seriously, and didn't even think of sending a servant to inform them...
The two elderly men selling wontons suffered this disaster today. No matter how sad or angry they were, they could only pack up their messy stall and go home in tears.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw a man in dark clothes standing at the door of their house and thought he was just passing by.
When the two men approached, they saw that the man still had no intention of leaving. They looked at each other, took a look at the man's attire, and then spoke carefully, "Young man, are you looking for someone here?"
Chi Wei showed an approachable smile on his face, "Old man, I have been waiting for you here for a long time..."
Before dawn the next day, the drum at the gate of the Dali Temple was struck.
Two white-haired old men walked into the Dali Temple tremblingly, and started to sue Princess Jiamin and the second legitimate son Xiao Qingwei of the Wenxuan Wang family. Not only did they eat and dine in the street, but they also bullied the people and smashed their stalls, leaving the two old men without their livelihood.
Because the two siblings acted extremely arrogantly, many people witnessed the incident. The people from the Dali Temple only took one morning to sort out the cause and effect of the case and presented it directly to the emperor.
At that time, the emperor was discussing important matters with several ministers, and the two siblings suddenly became famous.
The two siblings dared to commit a crime under the emperor's feet, and the emperor was furious on the spot. However, considering that the empress dowager's birthday banquet was approaching, he temporarily forgave them and only ordered them to compensate the old couple tenfold for their losses. In addition, from that day on, the two were confined to their homes until the empress dowager's birthday banquet.
Since Xiao Minru was rude and arrogant, in order to prevent her from causing trouble at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the Emperor specially asked the Empress to arrange for a nanny to accompany the soldiers who were guarding and supervising the confinement of the brother and sister to teach her the rules.
In this way, Princess Wenxuan did not wait for the Queen Mother's summons, but instead received the news that the brother and sister were under house arrest.
When they were in Chuzhou, Prince Wenxuan's family was like a local tyrant. Xiao Minru was used to being domineering. When she heard that the emperor wanted to punish her by confining her to her house because of two untouchables, she immediately exploded. Without thinking, she clashed with the people who came to supervise her. She clamored to see the empress dowager and ask her to make the decision. She even threatened to kill the guards and palace maids.
Princess Wenxuan was so frightened by her that her face turned pale. In desperation, she slapped her in the face, which allowed Xiao Qingwei to forcibly drag her back to the room.
Little did she know that she was still in the front hall cleaning up the mess for the two siblings. Xiao Minru, who had returned to her room, was so angry that she immediately started arranging for people to deal with the two elderly people.
"Those two old bastards actually dared to report to the police. This princess will make them pay for what they have done. Don't they like selling wontons? Then have someone chop their meat into pieces and make wontons out of them!"
Xiao Qingwei, who was standing by, looked unsurprised by Xiao Minru's vicious idea and even offered suggestions. It was obvious that the two of them had done this kind of thing many times before.
However, when the people they sent out found the two old people's home, it was already empty.
The next second, the people who originally came to kill people were surrounded by the people brought by Chi Wei before they could retreat.
