Chapter 187: Fight if you say so
Chapter 187: Fight if you say so
Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the mansion, his personal guards will naturally not be in the mansion either.
Su Nuan doesn't have to look for Ye Yin, she can do something else.
She wanted to go to the teahouse today because the owner had been claiming to be ill, so as the owner she had to go and see him.
"Concubine Dong, you can't go in."
"Go away! How dare a slave stop me? Is this how Sister Xia disciplines you?"
"My wife is resting, you can't barge in."
"You dare to pull my lady, I don't want your hands and claws anymore."
"what"
Chunliu let out a scream and Su Nuan hurried to the door to check the situation.
In the yard, Dong Jingshu stood there with a sullen face, while her maid Pantao was pulling Chunliu and fighting with her.
Meixiang and Wang Niangzi came to help and stopped when they saw Su Nuan.
"What are you standing there for? They've already reached our doorstep. Grab your weapons and kick them out."
Su Nuan put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly.
Madam Wang hadn't gotten used to her concubine suddenly becoming so fierce, but Meixiang had already taken action and picked up a broom to fan the peaches.
Dong Jingshu's other maids hurried over to stop Meixiang.
By this time Madam Wang had also reacted and came to help.
Dong Jingshu brought four maids over. It was four against three. Meixiang and her two companions were not at an advantage and were soon at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Su Nuan didn't care about her status anymore. She lifted her skirt and kicked the maid closest to her.
The maidservant could never have imagined that the concubine would personally fight with her. She was completely unprepared for Su Nuan and was kicked to the ground by Su Nuan.
After a kick, Su Nuan joined the fight.
Her fighting ability was much stronger than Meixiang and the others, and in the end she was almost alone against four.
Dong Jingshu was about to cry. No one told her that Xia Qingyan could fight!
She clearly came here today to question Xia Qingyan why she harmed her, but why did she start fighting before she even said a word?
"Stop fighting, Concubine Xia, stop fighting."
Dong Jingshu shouted, trying to stop Su Nuan, but it would have been better if she hadn't shouted, because her shouting reminded Su Nuan that there was still an enemy that hadn't been defeated.
Su Nuan's eyes were already red with anger, and she didn't even think about Dong Jingshu's identity. She jumped up and punched her.
Only after the beating did he realize that this was a delicate young lady who was so weak that she couldn't take care of herself. Could she withstand his punch?
Sure enough, after this punch, Dong Jingshu sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"Miss, Miss, let me see if you are hurt."
Pan Tao got up from the ground and checked Dong Jingshu's injuries. She also kept talking to Su Nuan, "How can Concubine Xia hit you without hesitation? Our young lady has grown up so big that even the master and the mistress have never hit her. What right do you have to hit her? You are just relying on the favor of His Highness to be arrogant and domineering. You should let the emperor and the queen mother know about your evil deeds."
Su Nuan even beat Dong Jingshu, so how could she tolerate a little maid? She went up and grabbed the peaches and slapped her in the face.
"You, the master and the servant, came to my house to fight and cause trouble, and you didn't allow me to fight back? You, a little girl, dared to scare me with the emperor and the queen mother. Do you think I was scared?"
Seeing Su Nuan's ferocious look, Pan Tao dared not say anything. He hid behind Dong Jingshu, sobbing and not daring to speak.
The master and servant were sitting on the ground crying. Su Nuan was upset just watching them. She walked up to Dong Jingshu and looked down at her, saying viciously, "If you want to cry, go back to your Furong Garden. I can't stand hearing people cry. Once I hear that, I get irritable. If you cry again, I won't be able to hold back and hit you again."
Dong Jingshu didn't dare to bet whether Su Nuan's words were true or false. As soon as Su Nuan finished speaking, she got up from the ground, and ran out of Duiyueju with her maid without even saying hello.
When Su Nuan saw the person running away, she remembered to ask Chun Liu, "What is she doing here?"
Chun Liu covered her swollen face and said, "I didn't know. Concubine Dong brought people in and tried to break into the Majesty's bedroom. When I didn't let her in, she asked the maids to beat me."
"My Lady, if you hit Concubine Dong, will she complain to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"
Mei Xiang asked worriedly.
"She came to my territory and beat someone up. She was not in the right. If she went to complain to the emperor, the most she would get would be fifty lashes each. It's not worth it for her to get herself involved just to punish me."
"But she was beaten!"
"Being beaten is justified? Does that mean if someone kills someone and then lets the victim's family beat him up, then he is not wrong?"
Su Nuan was not afraid at all that Dong Jingshu would go to someone to complain, nor did she want to waste her time on her.
She asked people to prepare a carriage to go to the teahouse. Meixiang and Chunliu were both beaten black and blue. Baozhu was working in the flower garden and couldn't spare the time, so Su Nuan decided to take Lady Wang with her on this trip.
She didn't necessarily need someone to serve her or accompany her, but today she was going to the Prince's property, so she had to be treated like a concubine.
The driver was still Falcon, but Su Nuan had instructed him to bring guards with him, so four guards followed behind the carriage.
The carriage stopped after a while.
After Su Nuan got off the car, she stared at the four big words "Piaoxiang Tea House" on the plaque and frowned.
The location of this tea house is very good, and the people living nearby are all the top dignitaries in the imperial city. The tea house looks simple and elegant from the outside, but the name is too out of place, and I don’t know which idiot came up with this name.
"Distinguished guests, please come in."
The waiter of the teahouse led Su Nuan in.
"Call your shopkeeper over here."
Su Nuan was led into a tea room and then instructed the waiter.
She was dressed elegantly today, and the waiter knew she was a distinguished guest. Upon hearing the instruction, he immediately went to call the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper in charge of this tea house is named Zheng, and he is the old shopkeeper of this tea house. Recently, he became dissatisfied because the Crown Prince's concubine suddenly inserted a second shopkeeper, so he claimed to be sick and hid at home.
The person the waiter went to call was Qiu Ming, the second manager arranged by Su Nuan.
"My Lady Concubine, why are you here? Come on, go get the new tea that was delivered yesterday for my Lady Concubine to taste."
As soon as he saw Su Nuan, Qiu Ming was very enthusiastic.
"Today, I am not only the prince's concubine, but also the boss of this tea house. From now on, you can call me the boss in this tea house."
Qiu Ming knew that the tea house was the prince's property, but he did not expect that this concubine could actually call herself the boss, and her attitude towards Su Nuan became even more enthusiastic.
"Master, you came here today to check on the teahouse's business, right? Please wait a moment, I'll get you the account book."
"Don't worry, tell me how much you know about the tea house now."
Su Nuan was kind to him, so he told her everything he knew about the tea house.
Qiu Ming used to run a tea house on Zhusheng Street. His business was very good and he was very knowledgeable about the industry. However, his business was small before and he had no chance to meet clients of status. After his recent experience at Piaoxiang Tea House, he gained more experience and added his own suggestions when introducing the tea house.
Su Nuan listened carefully. She didn't know much about the tea business, but she also learned something from Qiu Ming's introduction today.
After listening for a while, I felt that Qiu Ming was quite good. He explained the tea industry to her very thoroughly.
After some more experience, he can take over the position of shopkeeper.
"How is Manager Zheng doing recently?"
