The next day, a fire broke out in a civilian courtyard in the outer city in the middle of the night. By the time people discovered it, the fire was already out of control. After the fire was put out, people carried out two charred bodies from inside.
The people around them were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not speak. They only vaguely discussed that the old couple had offended someone they shouldn't have. As for who this person was, the two elderly people had just filed a complaint with the police during the day, and met with an accident at night. The answer was obvious...
However, the two elderly people had no relatives, and the neighbors around them did not dare to interfere, so no one could seek justice for the two elderly people. The government could only rule this incident as an accidental fire, and after simply helping the two elderly people to calm down, they hastily closed the case.
On the surface, this matter has passed, but in fact it has just begun. As people continue to discuss it after dinner, things are fermenting rapidly.
The brother and sister in the post station waited for a long time for the subordinates who were sent out to deal with the two old men to come back, and in a hurry they sent people to investigate again. After learning that the old men had been burned to death, the anger in their hearts immediately dissipated by half.
Even though the two old men were dead, Xiao Minru was not satisfied. "Were they supposed to be chopped up to make wontons? How could they be burned to death? How could they do their jobs?"
Xiao Qingwei nonchalantly consoled her, "Forget it, sister. He's already dead. At worst, we can punish those two guards who didn't do their job properly later."
Xiao Minru felt aggrieved. She had never felt that way in her life. Just then, the maid came to report, "Princess, the nanny from the palace said that today's teaching can begin."
Touching her arm, which was still slightly swollen from being beaten yesterday, Xiao Minru's face shone coldly, and the words that came out of her small red lips were full of venom, "Old woman, wait for me, I will make you pay me back sooner or later."
Xiao Minru's attention was quickly drawn away from the matter of the old couple selling wontons by the nanny, and she didn't notice at all that the guards they sent out to harm the old couple had not returned yet.
However, after two days, Xiao Minru insisted on continuing. If she had not been stopped by the maids, she would have raised her hand to beat and scold the governess.
But after three days, Xiao Minru, who was used to being wild, could no longer bear the days of house arrest and pretended to be sick to avoid the governess.
Then she asked her personal maid to find a set of maid's clothes for her to change into, and then she and Xiao Qingwei sneaked out of the post station.
The two of them learned their lesson this time and knew they had to bring money with them when they went out. They bought a lot of delicious and fun things along the way.
As they walked, their eyes were attracted by the shop in front of them, which was crowded with customers and had a long queue. They were immediately curious and asked a maid who was queuing for her master. They found out that the shop sold milk tea and fried chicken, which they had never heard of before.
Looking at the endless stream of customers in the store, Xiao Minru was curious and waved her hand to let Xiao Qingwei line up. She then swaggered into the store and quickly grabbed a great seat that the clerk had just prepared.
It happened that at this time several young ladies came in from the door and also took a fancy to that seat. Seeing that she was alone, it would be a waste for her to sit at such a big table. It just so happened that if there were so many of them, it would be inconvenient for them to talk together if they sat at a separate table nearby. The leading young lady asked the maid to go and discuss with Xiao Minru, wanting her to give up her seat to them.
Xiao Minru has always been given ways by others since she was a child. She doesn't know what it means to give in to others. She immediately scolded the little maid who came to discuss it with her.
She even said shamelessly, "How dare you ask me to give up my seat..." Realizing that she had let the cat out of the bag, she immediately changed her words, "Ask me to give up my seat. What's wrong with one person? I'm going to sit here today. Not to mention that I'm sitting here now and there's no way I'm going to give it up to you. Even if I don't sit here later, I've already bought this seat. From now on, this seat will only be used by me. None of you can sit here anymore."
Xiao Minru did not deliberately raise her voice, but at this moment everyone's attention was focused on this, so her words were heard clearly by everyone present.
Several young ladies who wanted to change seats with her were embarrassed by her arrogant and domineering attitude, and immediately stepped forward to argue with her.
"This girl sounds quite arrogant, but I wonder if she is really that capable."
"That's right. This is the property of Madam Protector of the Nation. How can you open a business here and buy out this position? Let's not talk about whether you can afford it or not. It depends on whether the other party is willing to sell it to you."
"You're so shameless."
…
As a few people spoke, the people around them also started pointing and talking at Xiao Minru.
She wondered when the little princess of Chuzhou had ever suffered such humiliation, and she immediately exploded.
"Bang..." She slammed the table and stood up. "Shut up, everyone! It's just a position! Where is the shopkeeper? Name your price! I'm buying her out right now."
The business was so booming that the owner finally had time to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, trouble broke out just after he left. He was dragged to the lobby by the clerk before he could even tie his belt.
He figured out the whole story on the way, and as soon as he arrived, he apologized to both sides with a smile.
The young ladies who came later were not the kind of people who cared about matters. They were there to ask for help. If Xiao Minru had spoken nicely, they would not have said anything even if she was unwilling to give up her seat to them. At most, they would have waited for other guests to leave and then given up their seats. However, Xiao Minru's words were so harsh that she aroused everyone's anger.
At this time, the shopkeeper apologized with a smile, asked the clerk to arrange seats for them, and offered to give them a discount. For the sake of Tian An, the wife of the protector of the country, they did not pursue the matter any further and all of them dropped their weapons.
The shopkeeper was able to appease several young ladies, but it was difficult to deal with Xiao Minru.
Haikou had already praised her, and no matter how the shopkeeper tried to persuade her, she refused to listen and even threatened to buy out the right to use the table and chairs, which made the shopkeeper feel helpless.
Several young ladies who had received benefits from the shopkeeper could not stand it and spoke up to defend him.
"What's the point of making things difficult for the shopkeeper? Aren't you arrogant? If you have the guts, go find Madam Protector of the Nation and see if she'll sell it to you."
"That's right. You know the shopkeeper can't make the decision, but you still deliberately try to show off your words here. It's really shameful."
Xiao Minru was so angry at their constant barrage that her face turned red. No matter how she threatened or bribed the shopkeeper, he wouldn't give in. In desperation, she could only shout at the shopkeeper, "Where is Madam Protector of the Country? Tell her to come to see me immediately. I'll ask her myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was silent for a moment, and then deafening laughter broke out.
"Hahaha! So funny! Who does she think she is? She even asked Lady Protector of the Nation to come see her!"
"You can boast without worrying about the wind blowing your tongue away."
"Where did this weirdo come from? Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"
Ha ha ha ha……
