The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 35 Asking Xiao Lan for help

General's House.

Qin Huai was half lying on the couch, staring straight ahead without blinking, and his breathing became heavier.

I don't know how long it took, but he closed his eyes suddenly, two drops of sweat left on his forehead, and the cloth in his hand was soaked.

*
As the days passed, Heaven and Earth had become the most popular restaurant in Beijing, and the store was gradually getting on the right track. It was inconvenient for Ruan Ning to stare at the store every day, and he almost gave up half of the housekeeping rights to Ruan Xin and Xiaoshuang.

Although life is fulfilling, it is also really tiring. Ruan Xin couldn't help but complain when he caught Ruan Ning: "Didn't I agree that I am a shareholder? Why do I still have to work?"

Before Ruan Ning could speak, Xiaoshuang replied with a smile on her face: "Isn't this for our store? The better the store is managed, the more we earn. The more we earn, the more dividends we will receive at the end of the year."

Ruan Xin made a sound and glanced at Xiaoshuang: "You and your master are really of the same virtue, and you can speak the truth better than anyone else."

Xiaoshuang looked serious: "What I said is true. If you look at our account book, we can realize financial freedom just around the corner."

Ruan Ning saw that Xiaoshuang was devoted to her and smiled from ear to ear: "That's right, if we continue with this performance, I will be able to prepare a generous dowry for you in less than two years. If you get married, you can stay at your husband's house." The kind that walks sideways."

When she talked about getting married, Xiaoshuang showed shyness: "Miss, I don't want to get married, I just want to stay with you."

Ruan Ning touched the top of her head and said lovingly, "Of course that's no problem."

Ruan Xin looked at the master and servant chatting with each other, and curled his lips in disgust.

*
Just when everyone was filled with joy, something unexpected happened.

On this day, before Ruan Ning came to the store, Zhou Linrong led a group of people into the store. After entering the room, she stared at Xiao Lan's words on the signature wall with a gloomy face. She turned around and ordered a table of dishes. The table flipped over after just two bites.

"What is this, is it for people to eat?"

Zhou Linrong was scolding and smashing things. Ruan Xin saw that she was deliberately looking for trouble and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Your Highness, but the food is not to your taste, I will..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Linrong interrupted impatiently: "Where did you come from, a country girl, an uneducated thing, and you are the only one worthy of talking to me?"

Ruan Xin's face froze and she was speechless. Xiaoshuang on the side stopped and went directly to argue: "Your Highness, if you don't like the food in our store, just say so. The worst is, we won't accept you." Money, why throw things?"

Xiaoshuang picked up the things on the ground as she spoke, feeling very distressed.

When Zhou Linrong saw someone talking back to her, she sneered: "Hey, what the heck are you?"

Seeing her unkind look, Xiaoshuang didn't dare to speak anymore and was pulled behind by Ruan Xin to protect her.

At this time, the maid next to Zhou Linrong said: "She is one of Ruan Ning's maids."

After hearing this, Zhou Linrong looked her up and down: "Young girl, right? Come, take her away for me!"

*
On this day, Ruan Ning came to the store as usual, and was shocked from ear to ear when he saw the mess in the house. At the same time, there were bursts of crying in the house, which made Ruan Ning's heart suddenly rise to his throat. Eyes.

"What's wrong? Someone came to destroy our store?"

Ruan Ning has always been prosperous by relying on the inscription from the Holy Emperor and Xiao Lan's name. He has never encountered anyone who came to the store to look for trouble, and he doesn't know who is so bold.

The whole room was at a loss of ideas. Seeing Ruan Ning coming was like seeing the savior. Ruan Xin hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Princess Linrong came over for dinner just now. When the food was served, she said that our food was unpalatable. She turned the table over and even hit someone. Xiaoshuang just argued with her for a few words and was taken away. I couldn't Protect her."

Ruan Ning secretly muttered: Zhou Linrong is Xiao Lan's suitor?Could it be that he was stimulated last time and deliberately made trouble for her?

Although she was anxious inside, she still comforted the people in the store: "Okay, don't cry now. Clean up the room. I'll go over and take a look first."*
Ruan Ning turned around and led people to the princess's house. Although she showed no fear on her face, she was beating a drum in her heart. Since opening the store, she had been living a smooth life, relying on those empty names to protect her.

But the princess is a real relative of the emperor. Her father is the emperor, her brother is the prince, and her mother is a noble concubine. She cannot afford to offend just one of them.

After arriving at the princess's mansion, those people seemed to have expected her to come and took her directly in.

In the yard, Zhou Linrong was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea.

Although Ruan Ning was angry with her, she still had to be polite. In front of Zhou Linrong, she had to salute respectfully: "Your Highness, I heard that you went to Minnu's shop, maybe there was some misunderstanding. You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Linrong threw the tea cup directly in front of her with a "pop" sound and said arrogantly:

"What is a misunderstanding? Your food tastes terrible. I don't know if you did it on purpose. You want to harm me, right? I think you should stop doing this business and close it as soon as possible."

Ruan Ning looked at the hem of her skirt that was splashed with tea, bit her back teeth secretly, and muttered silently: You are not as knowledgeable as a fool.

After doing some psychological work for herself, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said slowly: "How could it be possible? The dishes in the store are all the same. Besides, we have been open for more than a month. Customers all say it is delicious, and we have never had it. There have never been any negative reviews.”

Zhou Linrong glared at her: "You mean, I have wronged you?"

Ruan Ning is so angry, so unreasonable, so damn difficult to deal with!

She suppressed the impatience in her heart and continued: "Anyway, Princess Jinzhiyuye, it's normal for her not to be used to a small shop like ours. However, I heard that the princess took away one of my waiters, could you please return him to me? ?”

When Zhou Linrong heard that she came to ask for someone, she immediately smiled. She took two steps towards Ruan Ning and pretended to think: "It seems that I have brought back a maid. She dared to openly disobey the princess. It's a good thing that I didn't beat her to death on the spot. "

Ruan Ning took a breath and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess is kind-hearted, Xiaoshuang is young and ignorant. Since the Princess is not satisfied with the food in the store, then you punish our store, why bother with a little girl?" make life difficult for."

Zhou Linrong sneered: "I understand, you just came to ask for someone from me, right?"

Ruan Ning nodded and was about to speak when she heard Zhou Linrong say: "I put my words here, if you want someone, this princess won't give it to you, what can you do to me?

*
On the way out, Ruan Ning had already cursed him with all the curse words in his life.

What does it mean to bully others? This Zhou Linrong has taken it to the extreme, garbage.

"Ah! I'm so mad."

Ruan Ning returned home while scolding: "Father, mother, they are too bullying."

After listening to Ruan Ning's explanation of the whole story, Ruan's father and Ruan's mother also said that there was nothing they could do. She was just a maid, and it was not worthy of them to mobilize an army to get her. Besides, she was a princess, and how could they offend the current crown prince's sister.

"And they shouldn't dare to do anything. They might release the person after a while."

Speaking of this matter, Ruan's mother also specially warned Ruan Ning: "I have heard about your affair with King Wu'an a long time ago, but he has not come to propose marriage for a long time. He must not be sincere to you. We, the nobles of the palace, cannot reach you." , you’d better stay away from him.”

Ruan Ning didn't have time to think about that at this time. When she mentioned King Wu'an, she remembered that the matter had arisen because of Xiao Lan, so asking him to find Zhou Linrong would definitely be helpful.

Speaking of which, it was a bit of a coincidence. Pei Jing and Qin Huai usually came to the restaurant from time to time to eat, but it happened that in the past half month, it was as if they had disappeared from the world. They didn't see Xiao Lan even once. Ruan Ning couldn't find Xiao Lan anywhere, so he had no choice but to go there. , she could only go to Wu'an Prince's Mansion in person.

*
This is Ruan Ning's first visit to the palace. The Gaomen Courtyard is very impressive and the guards are quite tight.

The concierge refused to let Ruan Ning in at all, and even said with disgust: "Go, go, everyone says they know the prince, so it's okay to let them in."
