Dong E fell to her knees on the ground with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Master, my brother was confused for a moment. Please give me some mercy for my sake."
Upon hearing this, Yin'er's expression remained as cold and stern as ever, and his anger only intensified.
"Let him off the hook? He used my name to embezzle and accept bribes, and enriched himself. The emperor is now cracking down on the evil practice of bribery, but he still dared to commit crimes in defiance of the law. Fortunately, this matter fell into the hands of my brother. If it had been brought to the attention of the emperor and the prince, I would have been badly harmed by your brother."
Listening to his words, Dong E burst into tears. How could she not know what a stupid thing her brother had done? But he was her brother, and she couldn't just watch him get into trouble.
"I always thought you were sensible, but I didn't expect... Get out of here, don't let me see you."
After saying that, Yinzhen flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Dong E kneeling there trembling.
Five days have passed since the day Yin'er, Yinzhen, and the Thirteenth Prince left.
Jiang Ranli held her chin in her hand, bored and dazed. She was wondering why Yinzhen hadn't appeared yet.
Jiang Ranli, ah Jiang Ranli, you really have a pig brain. Who is the Fourth Prince? He is a royal noble, and you are just an ordinary person. Why would he come to your small shop?
Jiang Ranli hit her head while thinking about it, and sighed that her brain was short-circuited for actually delusionally imagining that Yinzhen would come to her snack bar again.
What should I do? If he doesn't come here, there's no way I can find him. Living in fear all day is too tiring.
"Jiang Ranli, you are so heartless. You opened a shop without even informing me. If it wasn't for my ninth brother telling me, I wouldn't know where to find you."
Just when Jiang Ranli was extremely confused and entangled, an angry voice sounded in his ears.
When she looked up, she saw the Tenth Prince looking at her angrily.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Ranli thought that after she said she was married, the Tenth Prince would not look for her again, so she was extremely surprised to see him at this time.
"Why are you here? Jiang Ranli, how dare you ask such a question? Ah."
The Tenth Prince became even angrier. He had been looking for Jiang Ranli's whereabouts, but she had opened a shop without saying a word, and it was said that it was doing very well. The Fourth Brother and the Thirteenth Brother knew about it, but he had no idea at all. It was really infuriating!
Jiang Ranli was a little dazed by his last heroic "Ah". When he came to his senses, he found that the customers in the shop were all looking in their direction, and someone seemed to have recognized the identity of the Tenth Prince and was staring at them with a look of horror.
"Isn't that Master Shi? What happened to him? Is there any grudge between this store and Master Shi?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I heard people say that this store has something to do with Ninth Master. Tenth Master and Ninth Master have always been good friends. Logically, there shouldn't be any conflicts between them."
"Have you noticed that Master Jiu hasn't been here for several days? Is it because this store was so ignorant that it offended Master Jiu? Is Master Shi here today to help Master Jiu settle the score?"
. . .
Listening to the guests' speculative conversations, Jiang Ranli's heart tightened. He sighed that if the Tenth Prince continued to act like this, those people might not be able to imagine what was going on. If they were scared away, how could he continue his business?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, looked at the Tenth Prince in a flattering manner and said, "Tenth Master, good Tenth Master, please don't be angry, okay? Just listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly."
The Tenth Prince was very pleased with Jiang Ranli's flattering look, and the depression in his heart was instantly swept away, but he forced himself not to show it and still pretended to be angry.
"What do you want to explain? I'll give you a chance."
