Chapter 202 There's a Ghost

"Dad, why don't we go to another restaurant?" Lu Li tugged at Lu Yanshi's sleeve sensibly.

She knew that her father's treasury was tight, but it was not to the point where he couldn't afford food. There was only one possible reason why the waiter said this -

That is, the food here is very expensive, several hundred taels per dish, and they really can't afford it.

[If it's too expensive, forget it, let's go to another restaurant. It's not easy for my father to earn some money. ]

[It costs money to build a steam carriage, it costs money to maintain officials, and it also costs money to find foreigners in the future. ]

[It would be nice if I had my gold necklace. I could take it out and treat them to a meal.]

[Now I have nothing. Oh, I should spend less.]

In order to keep a low profile today, Lu Yanshi specially asked someone to take off the gold necklace given by the seventh princess from her neck.

Hearing her thoughts, Lu Yanshi felt sad and upset.

He is the king of a country, but he has to think twice before letting his daughter eat. What's the point of being an emperor?

Lu Jing also felt bad for Lu Li's sensibleness.

This eldest brother is so useless that he makes his two-year-old sister worry about so many things.

The two of them were listening to Lu Li's thoughts, so they reacted a little slowly.

When the waiter heard what Lu Li said, he realized that they were scared because they had no money, and he became even more arrogant.

"If you don't have money, don't pretend to be rich. Order one of each dish." The waiter pouted and mocked them in a sinister tone, imitating the tone of their ordering.

The waiter's voice was so loud that all the guests looked over.

Helian Qian was the youngest, and he was the first one who couldn't help himself and slammed his token directly on the table.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly what this is!"

The waiter took a quick look and his expression suddenly changed.

This is a pattern that every Dongli person recognizes: the symbol of the Helian clan, the Dongli royal family.

Could it be that these plain-looking people are actually members of the Helian family?

The waiter was a little nervous and called the shopkeeper over to identify it.

The shopkeeper came over impatiently, glanced at Lu Yanshi and the others, and asked, "Do you know what crime it is to impersonate the Helian clan?"

Without even looking at the token, he assumed that they were fakes.

After all, in his opinion, why would the Helian family come to their small coastal town, dressed so simply, and not even have a guard.

"You can invite the governor here and let him see whether my Helian family emblem is real or fake." Helian Qian's face was grim.

After Dongli was annexed by Daxia, they did not use their official system, but continued to use the previous official positions, and allowed the local officials of Dongli to continue to manage it, but Daxia would send its own people to assist.

The prefect of Langya Prefecture is an old official of Dongluo. He will definitely be able to tell whether the Helian clan emblem is genuine or fake.

"The governor is very busy. How could he possibly make a trip for a kid like you? If you can't afford it, get out of here."

The shopkeeper turned and left, ready to greet the distinguished guest who had just come in.

The waiter followed suit and started to annoy people with the tablecloth in his hand: "Go away, go away. If you can't afford it, leave now. Don't come here, poor ghost."

Lu Li finally understood. It was not that his father and his family had no money, nor that the store was too expensive, but that the waiter and the shopkeeper were too mean, looked down on them, and wanted to drive them away.

[Yes, the governor is indeed very busy, busy reselling government assets! ]

[No, I have to tell my father about this later. Someone stole our things.]

Lu Li suddenly became angry and stared at the people in front of him angrily, intending to teach them a lesson later.

When Lu Yanshi heard Lu Li's thoughts, his expression became serious. He glanced at He Lianqian and whispered a few words.

Lu Li was so focused on taking revenge on the shopkeeper and the waiter that she didn't notice they were whispering to each other.

"Mr. Zhu, you are here." The shopkeeper walked towards the door enthusiastically and greeted a man with a big belly and gorgeous clothes.

"The private room will be cleaned soon. Please have some tea here. I'll have someone take you in right away." After the shopkeeper said this, he gave the waiter a look, asking him to come over and pour the tea.

Lu Li seized the opportunity and controlled the waiter's hand, pouring the teapot directly onto Mr. Zhu's head.

The waiter was dumbfounded.

Why did his hands suddenly stop responding?

"What do you mean? Are you looking for death?" Mr. Zhu was immediately furious.

“No, I didn’t mean it.” The waiter wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, his legs became out of control and kicked directly into Mr. Zhu's stomach.

Mr. Zhu was kicked and fell backwards, and the waiter's face turned pale with fear.

He shivered and shook his head, muttering, "There is a ghost, a ghost has controlled my hand."

The shopkeeper was stunned by his miraculous operation. He bent down and helped Mr. Zhu up from the ground.

"Are you crazy?" He cursed and wanted to raise his hand to slap the waiter, but he couldn't control his hand and slapped Mr. Zhu in the face.

There was a "pop" sound.

Mr. Zhu, who had just stood up, was slapped in the face and tilted to one side.

"I'm going to kill you!!!" Mr. Zhu was going crazy. He just came to have a meal, why was he beaten?

The shopkeeper was terrified.

He also experienced what the waiter had just described as the feeling of seeing a ghost.

"No, I didn't mean it." He waved his hands, trying to defend himself.

Unexpectedly, his two hands uncontrollably came close to Mr. Zhu's face, and he slapped Mr. Zhu twice in the face with lightning speed.

One of Mr. Zhu's teeth was knocked out.

The shopkeeper was now completely overwhelmed.

"There's a ghost. There really is a ghost." He screamed and tried to run away.

But how could Master Zhu let him go? He immediately ordered his servants to arrest the shopkeeper and the waiter, and made them slap each other in front of everyone.

If anyone didn't hit loud enough, Master Zhu would hit him himself.

The waiter and the shopkeeper's faces were swollen from being slapped.

"Master Zhu, please believe me, there really is a ghost. I really don't want to hit you." The waiter explained with a swollen face.

"Just four, just four. I'll give it to you." The shopkeeper had one of his front teeth knocked out, and now his speech was slurred.

The two men's eyes were filled with tears, but Mr. Zhu would not listen to their excuses. He covered his face and insisted that they continue to beat him until he was satisfied.

[You are the devil. You deserve it for looking down on others.]

After hearing what the two said, Lu Li couldn't help but refute it in her heart.

"Lululu, you deserve it." She looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter who were swollen from the slapping and was so amused that she even made a face at the shopkeeper who was beaten.

Only then did Lu Yanshi realize that the funny scene was his daughter's masterpiece.

His stern face finally broke into a smile.

He touched his daughter's head and said, "Don't be angry, Xiaojiu. Father will let you vent your anger."

Lu Li was a little curious when she heard this. How would her father help her vent her anger?

Before she could use the melon-eating system to see what happened, the person Lu Yanshi was looking for arrived.
