Zheng Qing'er stormed over, swung the items on the counter, and they all fell to the ground. The two waiters who were settling the bill for Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang were stunned and stared at them blankly, at a loss for what to do.
Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang caught the falling objects with quick reflexes, but she missed the bracelet she had bought for the old woman. It fell to the ground with a clatter, and Bai Nuo watched helplessly as it shattered.
The bracelet seemed to shatter on her heart, and a surge of anger welled up within her for no reason.
Before she could even speak, Zheng Qing'er started yelling. After glancing at the things Bai Nuo and the others had bought, she became even more disdainful. "What? You're not happy about it, you country bumpkin, what are you going to do about it!"
Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang ignored her and just watched her quietly. Zheng Qing'er, feeling watched by Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang, became even more convinced that Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang were afraid of her. She dared to speak the truth again. The manager of Liuguang Pavilion said in a deep voice, "Miss Zheng, if you continue to harass my guests, I will not be polite to you!"
Zheng Qing'er was taken aback; she hadn't expected the shopkeeper to say that. "What did you say?"
When Zheng Qing'er was angry, her whole face was contorted, but the shopkeeper was not afraid of her. He first apologized to Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang and said, "Madams, I am really sorry. It was our poor service. Here's what we'll do: all your expenses today will be free. From now on, whenever you come to Liuguang Pavilion, you can use any of our private rooms."
Bai Nuo quickly said, "Shopkeeper, you're too kind. There's no need for that. We haven't been bothered at all." Although Bai Nuo really wanted to give this young lady a good beating.
"It's our fault, it's all our fault!" With that, the shopkeeper instructed the waiter to prepare a new set of things for Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang, based on what they had bought before.
"Boss Zhu, what do you mean by this?" Zheng Qing'er became even more gloomy upon seeing the shopkeeper's attitude. "Are you trying to make trouble for the Zheng family?"
Boss Zhu said in a deep voice, "I certainly wouldn't dare to go against the Zheng family. I'm just an ordinary person in this capital. But since I'm working for the Fourth Prince, I must do my best and not go against the Fourth Prince's principles!"
Everyone knows that Liuguang Pavilion is the property of the Fourth Prince.
When the Fourth Prince was mentioned, Zheng Qing'er trembled and immediately fell silent. Although her family was very wealthy, they were still not even a fraction as rich as the Fourth Prince.
Mr. Zhu then said, "Miss Zheng, I won't entertain you today. Someone, pack up that set of jewelry that Miss Zheng took a liking to the other day!"
As soon as Boss Zhu spoke, servants immediately packed Zheng Qing'er up and sent her out without Boss Zhu even having to say anything.
Bai Nuo was stunned by how fast they moved.
After dealing with Zheng Qing'er, Boss Zhu apologized to Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang again. Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang were not the type to hold grudges against others, and since Boss Zhu had sincerely apologized, the matter was over.
As Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang stepped out of the shop, they stopped after only a few steps—Zheng Qing'er was waiting for them ahead.
"What should we do?" Jiang San Niang asked softly.
There were only two of them here, while Zheng Qing'er, along with her maid and the carriage driver, made at least six people on the other side.
Jiang San Niang suddenly felt a pang of regret. Why hadn't she brought her people out with her?
Bai Nuo said softly, "Let's go back!" Bai Nuo said immediately.
It wasn't that Bai Nuo was afraid of Zheng Qing'er; it was mainly because both of them were pregnant. Jiang San Niang's belly was so big, and she had just become pregnant herself. She didn't want to risk her child.
Jiang San Niang nodded, turned around and returned to Liuguang Pavilion.
Mr. Zhu was somewhat surprised to see them return. "Madams, what's wrong?"
Bai Nuo gave a wry smile. "Boss Zhu, could I stay here for a while, and then please send someone to the Hu family to wait for my husband to return and have her come to pick me up?"
Seeing the puzzled look in Boss Zhu's eyes, Bai Nuo said calmly, "Someone outside wants to beat me up!"
"Go out and see who's causing trouble!" Boss Zhu immediately said to the waiter.
The waiter who had greeted the guest immediately went out, but quickly returned. "There's no one outside, but Miss Zheng just left!"
Boss Zhu understood what was going on. It turned out that Zheng Qing'er had been waiting there after being kicked out, not leaving, just waiting for Bai Nuo and the others to come out so she could beat them up or teach them a lesson, right?
"If you two don't mind, I'll have someone send you back," said Boss Zhu.
This was wonderful, so Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang didn't refuse. They let Boss Zhu send a carriage to take them back to the Hu family.
Jiang San Niang wasn't in a hurry to return to the Lu family. She stayed at the Hu family's house, waiting for Lu Ying to come back and take her home.
However, just as Bai Nuo and Jiang San Niang entered the courtyard, Granny Wang came to greet them. Bai Nuo said to her, "Granny, quickly make some tea to help us get rid of the cold! Tell the Second Master to come back first and say that my sister has arrived."
Only then did Granny Wang realize that Jiang San Niang was actually Bai Nuo's eldest sister.
Immediately, Granny Wang took Mudan to brew tea and serve snacks.
Bai Nuo was preparing to complain to Hu Mingmei and the others when they returned, while in Madam Zheng's main courtyard, Zheng Qing'er was also making a scene.
"Aunt, you must stand up for Qing'er! Qing'er is being bullied to death!" Zheng Qing'er grabbed Madam Zheng's sleeve and said stubbornly.
"What's wrong?" Madam Zheng was having a headache because of Zheng Qing'er. Her eldest brother only had one son and one daughter. Before she got married, she had also taken care of the child. Therefore, Madam Zheng doted on Zheng Qing'er. However, sometimes she couldn't stand Zheng Qing'er's relentless behavior.
