To everyone's surprise, He Yi suddenly relented and instructed the shopkeeper and the shop assistant beside her: "Since you two are not feeling well and are saying that it is a problem with the pastries in my shop, then please go to the back alley and explain the situation to me in detail, so as not to make a scene here and affect the business of my Tianxiangfang. How about that?"
[Sister Yi laughed! Someone's about to be in trouble!]
[Close the door, let...the guy out!]
Upon hearing "explain in detail" and seeing that He Yi seemed to "give in" and even mentioned the back alley, the two assumed that she wanted to settle the matter privately with money, and the woman was overjoyed.
Ignoring his stomachache, he quickly got up and was about to leave. He brushed the dust off his knees and looked at He Yi with a grin.
"In the end, it is the young princess who is reasonable. Everyone, look at us. We are just honest and pitiful people. Do you think we are here to extort money from you?" The woman immediately smiled obsequiously.
He Yi stopped looking at them and only gave Qingju and a few strong men a wink.
Having followed He Yi for many years, Qingju naturally understood and immediately led two waiters forward, politely bowing to the couple: "Gentlemen, please come to the back."
The group passed through the back door of the shop and entered a quiet, deserted alley. The sunlight was blocked by the high walls rising on both sides, making the alley feel strangely gloomy and cold.
As soon as they stood still, the man eagerly reached out his hand: "Young Princess, let's be honest, you are, after all, a young princess. You have plenty to offer, so naturally you won't care about these pittances..."
Before the man could finish speaking, the men who had been smiling just moments before instantly changed their expressions and surrounded him menacingly.
With her hands on her hips, Qingju angrily ordered, "Give him a good beating and break his lower half!"
Several men rushed in like wolves and tigers, and in no time they pinned the two men against the cold wall.
"Oh dear! What are you doing! Let me go! Princess, little princess, what are you doing? Princess, you... Oh dear, help!"
The woman was terrified.
She screamed shrilly.
Her husband panicked too, struggling desperately: "Nonsense! Princess, you just said you'd pay! You tricked us into coming here, and now you're planning to beat us up! I'm calling the authorities! Help! Help!"
[Closing the door and beating the dog! Awesome!]
Shout all you want, no one will listen to you even if you shout until you're hoarse.
[The vicious female supporting character: Laughed like a pig, hahaha.]
He Yi found the two screaming in pain quite amusing. She slowly walked up to them, her feigned gentleness vanishing completely, leaving only indifference.
"Report to the authorities? Excellent, just what I wanted. Let the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture thoroughly investigate what crime you two adulterers, who specialize in swindling and deceiving, should be charged with!"
He Yi slapped him across the face. "Last time you actually impersonated my parents, and I, being kind-hearted, let you off the hook. But instead of finding a safe place to hide and live a peaceful life, you've become even more audacious, daring to extort money from my shop? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
Qingju moved closer and tugged at Heyi's sleeve, "They just think we're pushovers..."
"Soft my foot!" He Yi was furious.
He Yi's voice wasn't loud, but every word carried immense weight.
The words "impersonating the princess's parents" in particular sent a chill down their spines. They finally realized that this young princess was far more capable than they had imagined!
"Princess, have mercy! Have mercy!"
The woman was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.
"We were wrong! We'll never do it again! It's all that damned guy's fault! He forced me to come!" She didn't hesitate to shift the blame.
"Bullshit! It's clearly you, woman, who's been scheming all along!" the man retorted anxiously.
He Yi was too lazy to listen to their dogfighting, so she gave everyone a look and immediately gave them orders.
"Slap him hard in the face!"
Qingju stepped forward, swung her arm, and delivered several resounding slaps to the two women! The force was so great that the woman saw stars, and her cheeks immediately swelled up.
Blood seeped from the man's mouth instantly. Another waiter, seeing the damned man glaring at Qingju, stepped forward and slapped the man several times across the face without hesitation.
"What do you mean by staring at Qingju like that? Qingju is the one I love. I'll beat you to a pulp."
Qingju looked at the other person rather embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou, your strength has improved!"
"Brother Zhou, you're really good at slapping people in the face! Just watch, Qingju." This man was indeed ruthless; he slapped the man several times, and the man started screaming in pain while the woman begged for mercy.
"I had no intention of stooping to your level, but today I'm giving you a small punishment as a warning."
He Yi looked at their faces, swollen like pigs' heads, without a trace of pity in her eyes. "If I find out again that you're out there swindling and extorting money, or if you dare to show your faces in front of me again... next time it won't be as simple as just slapping you. I'll have your legs broken and your bodies thrown into the mass grave outside the city to be fed to the wild dogs! Do you understand?"
Her voice carried a chilling, murderous edge.
Combined with his fierce expression, it was definitely not just a simple intimidation.
[Sister Yi is a force to be reckoned with! Ruthless and taciturn!]
That's a pretty strong threat! Let's see if they dare to do it again!
[I told you the vicious female escort would stand up for herself, what do you say?]
[Scammer: I won't do it again, I really won't.]
The two men, having been beaten and humiliated by the guards, were completely disoriented and terrified. They dared not put up any resistance and collapsed like rag dolls, desperately kowtowing.
"We heard you! Princess, please spare us! We'll never dare to do it again! We'll never dare to do it again!"
"roll!"
He Yi spat out a single word.
Several men dragged the two men to the alley entrance like dead dogs! The two scrambled and crawled away, not daring to look back, disappearing in a sorry state, fearing that if they were a step too slow to escape, they would be caught and have their legs broken.
Watching the two staggering figures, Qingju spat, "Pah! That adulterous couple got off easy!"
He Yi chuckled, the coldness on her face gradually disappearing, and her usual rosy complexion returning.
"Tell the manager that if he encounters people like this again, he shouldn't be polite. He should report them to the authorities or kick them out. The reputation of Tianxiangfang cannot be tarnished by these damned bastards."
He Yi turned around and walked calmly through the back room back into the shop.
As if nothing had happened, Qingju, who was behind the belt, smiled slightly and said, "Princess, today is really interesting. Who are these people? They always want to get something out of you."
"Speaking of which, I'd like to find out more about these two guys."
"Judging from their state today, they probably bumped into this place by accident, but it is also conceivable that they often do such things, so much so that no matter how much they scheme, they always end up suffering losses."
He Yi nodded and continued walking forward...
