Chapter 373 Haidong
After they left, the Grand Empress Dowager yawned and said, "I'm tired too. I'll be returning to the palace now. Prince Gongxuan, I'll leave that matter to you. Be sure to teach them a lesson."
Prince Gongxuan replied respectfully, "Yes, Grand Empress Dowager."
…
Meanwhile, Xing Ruyue was having lunch at home when Hongyu suddenly ran over and said, "Master, our people said they saw the three children enter Prince Gongxuan's mansion. We really can't follow them inside the mansion."
The master originally planned to secretly follow Song Chuman and others to their homes, and then threaten and intimidate them, so as not to worry that they would disobey.
But I didn't expect that they were actually related to the palace.
Xing Ruyue put down her chopsticks and suddenly stood up, stunned. "What did you say? Entered Prince Gongxuan's Mansion? Are those three children from Prince Gongxuan's Mansion? But there are no six or seven-year-old children in Prince Gongxuan's Mansion?"
Hongyu said nervously, "I don't know either. Our people all saw them enter the palace at the same time, so there's no way they were mistaken. Master, tell me, if Prince Gongxuan knew what we did today, would he send someone to arrest us?"
Mrs. Xing beside her asked worriedly, "What's going on? Did you guys cause trouble at home again while shopping outside today?"
Xing Ruyue's face was pale, and she trembled as she said, "Ah... Mother, I... just now... it was like this. Those children's jewelry was really beautiful, and I didn't have much pocket money, so I wanted to buy them cheaply and wear them all myself."
"When I get tired of wearing them, I'll sell them at a high price. It won't be a loss this way. Who knew those kids were actually from Prince Gongxuan's palace?"
"They were dressed very casually, I thought they were just an ordinary family..."
Mrs. Xing was also panicking. She said with a look of horror, "If those kids complain, you'll definitely be finished."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of their house was kicked open with a bang.
Mrs. Xing and her daughter's expressions changed and they looked towards the door anxiously.
After a while, ten people were seen following Manager Xing, looking very aggressive.
When Shopkeeper Xing saw his daughter, he suddenly rushed forward and slapped her, roaring, "Evil girl, do you know what you've done? You actually bullied three children. Now the boss knows you're bullying them, so he'll no longer want me as shopkeeper and will make me a waiter for only a tael of silver a month!"
Thinking that he would have to work with the waiters whom he often scolded, and that his legs and feet were not as good as theirs and he would definitely be looked down upon by them, he felt a little heartbroken.
I have worked hard for half my life. I was a waiter when I was in my teens, but now I am middle-aged and still a waiter.
Xing Ruyue was about to ask her father why he hit her, but after hearing what he said, she became even more panicked.
Mrs. Xing was anxious. "How could the boss do this? Even if you haven't done anything, you've worked hard. One ounce of silver a month isn't enough."
Haidong stepped forward: "Xing Baishan, we are going to question him."
Xing Baishan was extremely disappointed with his daughter at this time. He hated her for ruining his future and didn't even want to acknowledge her. He said angrily, "Ask whatever you want."
Xing Ruyue saw Haidong walking towards her and trembled as she asked, "What...what are you going to do?"
Haidong asked expressionlessly, "We're from the county government. We heard you threatened three children on the street today. If they didn't sell you jewelry, you'd rob them, right?"
Xing Ruyue hurriedly shook her head: "No, I didn't do that."
