Chapter 362 Aren't they siblings?
The crowd kept talking, and the shopkeeper couldn't take it anymore. He was pacing around anxiously, but no one seemed inclined to open the door.
“Let’s go up and tear this door down to see if it really belongs to the Qin family,” the somewhat drunk man continued. “If it’s not, I will apologize to them myself.”
"I'll apologize however I want, but if it really is the Qin family, and they've humiliated the Langya Prince's Mansion like this, I'll be the first to disagree!"
"Shall we go and beat the drum to petition His Majesty, and ask him what he really means?"
The man's words have completely offended the Emperor. Even if Jiang Wan Ning wanted to protect him after this matter was over, she probably wouldn't be able to.
But with the man taking the lead, the casual patrons on the first floor also raised their hands in agreement, saying, "You're right, let's rush in and take a look."
"Let's go in and take a look!"
"Everyone, please calm down," Shen Ruzhi said, pressing her hands down to calm the crowd downstairs. "We don't need you to do anything."
“This Princess of Langya is my close friend. I will take care of this matter. I will smash the door. If His Majesty wants to blame me, I will bear all the consequences.”
Hearing Shen Ruzhi's words, everyone felt much more at ease. The other party was a princess of Western Xia, and even if His Majesty was angry, there was nothing he could do.
After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed, and the only people Bi Xiang was able to capture were the Western Xia princess and the man who had led the group at the beginning.
Shen Ruzhi beckoned to the guards beside her, "Go and smash the gate."
"Miss Chen, what... what if this isn't Qin..."
"Slap...slap..."
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Shen Ruzhi stepped forward and slapped him twice hard. "Fool, you should think about how you're going to explain this to us if things go wrong."
"You've been obstructing us like this, showing no regard for me or the Princess. Who gave you the audacity?"
"Miss Chen, you've misunderstood. It's really our boss... our boss gave instructions..." The shopkeeper still looked unrepentant.
"The owner of this restaurant is said to be the Prince of Jin," someone shouted from downstairs.
"What does the Prince of Jin mean by this?"
"......"
Jiang Wan Ning's eyes turned slightly cold. This shopkeeper, even at this point, still wanted to pin the blame on Prince Jin.
Are you sure this restaurant is owned by me?
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look in the direction of the door.
"This person is...."
Everyone looked at Tuoba Yan'er who was following behind. "It's Prince Jin!" someone shouted.
"Is it the Prince of Jin? Is it really the Prince of Jin?"
The innkeeper broke out in a cold sweat. Prince Jin went upstairs and stared at the innkeeper, asking softly, "Go and confirm that this restaurant belongs to me?"
"It seems I've been too busy to remember that I even own this restaurant."
It was already the dead of winter, and Prince Jin opened his folding fan with a 'whoosh' and gently fanned himself.
Tuoba Yan'er glared at her, "What are you pretending for? Aren't you cold?"
The Prince of Jin chuckled and put the folding fan away again.
"Why are you here?" Shen Ruzhi asked curiously.
“I sent someone to call them,” Jiang Wanning replied.
From the moment she heard that someone had deliberately described the owner of the restaurant as Prince Jin, Jiang Wan Ning had anticipated that the manager would make such a move, and ordered someone to summon Prince Jin.
“This is really timely,” Shen Ruzhi said.
"What time is it? He arrived a long time ago, but he insisted on standing at the door to eavesdrop, waiting for the crucial moment before coming in, saying that it would make him look more capable."
“Don’t expose me! Don’t I have any dignity?” said Prince Xiao Rui of Jin.
"You should think about how to clear your name first," Tuoba Yan'er said.
Prince Jin, Xiao Rui, bowed to Jiang Wan Ning, saying, "Sister-in-law."
He was grateful to Jiang Wan Ning. If this matter had continued to spread and reached the Emperor's ears, the Emperor would likely have become even more suspicious of him.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded gently in response.
"I'm asking you a question," Prince Xiao Rui of Jin said coldly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he dared not speak.
The Prince of Jin continued, "Since you say it belongs to me, then this restaurant is under my control."
"How about this, we'll waive all the meals for these customers today."
After the Prince of Jin finished speaking, the crowd cheered loudly.
Prince Xiao Rui of Jin was very pleased, using other people's money to build his reputation, "and then he sold the restaurant, sending all the proceeds to the free clinic."
"It can be considered as doing my part for the people."
Everyone clapped and cheered.
"Alright, now I command you to open this room." Prince Jin pointed with his fan to the door where Qin Yasu was.
The shopkeeper was trembling like a leaf.
If, at this moment, the person behind this isn't the Prince of Jin, they will definitely send someone to find him. But if it is...
In short, he definitely can't reveal the real owner behind it all.
The shopkeeper could only remain silent, neither confirming nor denying.
"Enough with the nonsense," Tuoba Yan'er glared at Prince Jin, then kicked the shopkeeper aside, drew the sword of a nearby guard, and chopped off the lock on the door. She then kicked the door open again.
He then threw the sword back to the guard, the whole sequence of movements flowing smoothly and seamlessly.
Shen Ruzhi gave Tuoba Yan'er a thumbs up for the first time.
Prince Jin hunched his shoulders and scurried up to Jiang Wan Ning. “Sister-in-law, now you know how hard my life has been.”
Jiang Wan Ning chuckled, "How is it difficult when someone is more capable than you and is protecting you?"
After saying that, he followed Shen Ruzhi into the room. People on the first floor also rushed up and all rushed into the private room.
"Ah—" Qin Yasu pulled the blanket over herself. Qin Hualang saw so many people staring at him and hurriedly covered his private parts. He looked around for his clothes, which he had long since lost.
Upon seeing the people inside, the shopkeeper quietly slipped out.
"Aren't these the young master and young lady of the Qin family? Aren't they siblings?"
Someone recognized Qin Hualang.
"They're siblings, born of the same mother, how can this be?"
Everyone sighed in dismay.
"I never imagined the Qin family would be in such a mess."
Qin Yasu had regained consciousness and, seeing the scene before her, realized that her plan had backfired and she had been outmaneuvered.
She immediately knelt on the ground and pretended to be pitiful, "Your Highness, Your Highness is not what you think, Your Highness, I have been drugged."
"I was framed."
"Come on, someone like you can't possibly be framed?" someone shouted. "You've never been a good person to begin with."
"I just never imagined you'd treat your own brother like this..."
“No, no, we were framed,” Qin Hualang said. “It was her, she framed us.”
Qin Hualang pointed at Jiang Wanning, "You did this on purpose. You're just unhappy that my sister married the prince as a concubine."
