"The lady said, it's a joke, how can the young one be afraid of guests?"
The guy's eyes were averted, seemingly natural, but his tone already revealed his timidity.
Song Shuwan sighed secretly, this guy just said that he didn't have three hundred taels of silver here, so don't anger Princess Taining.
At this time, she also realized that Princess Taining's guard had killed someone intentionally. Was it Princess Taining's order in advance? Kill her to scare her?
If there was no accident, what method would Princess Taining use?
"Oh, it's best not to be afraid, otherwise, I will think of smashing your place."
The boy froze, not even daring to raise his head this time.
There was silence in the teahouse. Overt and covert eyes fell on Song Shuwan and his party. Song Shuwan wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them. In the end, she simply remained silent. Princess Taining was obviously not a good person, so she said less. Wrong.
At this moment, Princess Taining dismissed the waiter impatiently: "Just bring some tea and snacks."
The guy responded and left in a hurry.
Then, Princess Taining looked at the young boy: "Tell me about your situation."
"My name is Lin Enli, and I am a merchant passing by here. When I was doing business with the Sun family, the Sun family suddenly robbed my goods and asked me to sell myself to the Sun family. I didn't want to, so I found an opportunity to escape. I met you two on the road, and luckily you two took action and saved my life."
Princess Taining held her cheek with one hand: "Robbing goods and forcing people to sell themselves. The Sun family is so familiar with it. It seems that they have done such things often. You don't need to thank me. I didn't save people in vain."
Lin Enli's eyelids twitched, but his face remained respectful: "I understand, please rest assured, young lady, as long as I contact my family, I will definitely send a heavy thank you gift to the two young ladies."
Princess Taining sneered: "Look at me, do you think I am lacking someone to thank you for the gifts? Not only me, but the person next to me is also lacking."
Her face was still pure, but it was completely different from the way she looked when she first met yesterday.
However, this made Song Shuwan feel relieved.
She didn't care that Princess Taining showed all her bad and ferocious temperament. What she was most afraid of was that Princess Taining had always maintained a weak and resolute appearance, but she was doing something secretly.
Lin Enli stood there blankly: "If you don't want to thank me, what does the young lady want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin En immediately saw the woman in front of him twitching her fingers at him. He hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward and continued: "Miss, please clarify."
"I don't want to talk nonsense, so listen carefully. I don't want the thank you, but I want the Sun family to fall. Can you do it?"
Lin Enli's body stiffened. If he could bring down the Sun family, how could he be chased by the Sun family and ask passers-by for help?
In the silence, Princess Taining raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you can't do it. If that's the case, then follow me. If someone wants to kill me, just remember to block the knife for me. Just retreat."
Lin En was immediately worried. Why did he become the one blocking the knife before he spoke? Moreover, he is the only male in the Lin family, how can he stay with a woman?
"Miss, please change the conditions. The Lin family can't do anything, but it is still possible to meet some of the conditions of the lady. As long as it doesn't trip the Lin family or let me block the knife, everything else is fine."
Princess Taining said calmly: "But I don't lack anything, huh? Miss Song, what do you want?"
Song Shuwan didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to herself. After a brief moment of confusion, she shook her head: "I don't have anything I want. Mr. and Miss can make the decision, but... you have a distinguished status and have many guards around you. You don’t need a helpless person, right? If such a person stays by your side, there is a 90% chance that he won’t be able to help you, so don’t let him become a burden, what do you think, Miss?”
She didn't know what Princess Taining meant, but she didn't want to see Lin Enli become the one to block the knife, so she simply gave her advice.
Princess Taining sighed: "Miss Song, what you say is so interesting. If you want to save people, just say so. That's all. You can go, I don't need you to repay your kindness."
Lin Enli glanced at Song Shuwan gratefully, but his face was still facing Princess Taining: "Thank you for your kindness. I will send you a thank you gift from the Lin family soon."
After he saluted, he turned around and walked downstairs.
"Puff——"
At this time, a long knife suddenly appeared and penetrated directly from Lin Enli's back to his chest. Blood gushed out. The smile on Lin Enli's face was still hanging, but his whole body had fallen forward.
There was a chaotic sound, and Lin Enli's body rolled down the steps to the first floor. In an instant, the entire first floor fell into chaos. The previously silent guests ran out frantically. Within a moment, the entire first floor was empty.
Song Shuwan froze, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Why did the princess kill him?"
Next to him, the waiter in the teahouse was holding a tray. He neither moved forward nor retreated, and finally froze in place.
Princess Taining glanced at him and waved to him: "Don't stand there. What I don't like the most is people who waste my patience."
The waiter was afraid of death, so after a sudden shock, he quickly put down the tea and snacks, and then ran quickly.
Princess Taining didn't pay attention. After the maid behind her poured the tea, she slowly picked up the tea cup and answered Song Shuwan: "I want to kill him."
Just four words blocked all the words in Song Shuwan's mouth.
Although the current Holy Emperor is so kind, why did Princess Taining develop such a vicious temperament?
At this time, Princess Taining tilted her head slightly: "Why don't you say anything, Miss Song? But you think my words are not enough to explain?"
Song Shuwan's lips curled up in a stiff arc: "Princess is joking, any explanation you want will do."
"Ah--"
Princess Taining smiled sarcastically and said coldly: "Hypocritical, Song Shuwan, you actually think I'm cruel in your heart, right? So what? I'm just a commoner, I'll kill you, but it's you, I want to kill you You are in great trouble."
With a "crash" sound, Princess Taining poured tea onto Song Shuwan.
Under the sudden movement, Song Shuwan had no time to react. Just as the tea was about to be poured out, a piece of clothing suddenly appeared and just caught the tea.
Hualin casually threw the clothes on the ground and said calmly: "Princess Taining has golden branches and jade leaves. You can kill anyone you want, but this is not the capital, and this is not a place where you, Princess Taining, can be arrogant."
Princess Taining's face darkened: "I recognize you. You are the person next to Prince Ning. Why, Prince Ning wants to protect her?"
Hualin smiled: "Your Majesty just doesn't want to cause trouble. Princess Taining, this Miss Song will leave Anyuan City with Your Majesty in the future."
He didn't say much, but with just one sentence, Princess Taining was completely silenced.
After a moment, Hualin turned his head and said, "Miss Song, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the inn."
