Lan Caiwei focused on the children who were performing in the center of the stage: "What on earth are you performing? It's so unsightly! I wonder what kind of people they are and what kind of dance they teach."
The children all regarded Su Qing as their wife and elder. How could they tolerate Lan Caiwei's slander, and they all defended Su Qing.
"Auntie, what we perform is a dance for people to see, not a dance for people to talk about!"
"Yeah, if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. It's like the eyes are growing on us!"
"Yes, I don't even have the most basic qualities. It's really unspeakable. I really don't know where the superiority comes from."
The children complained to Su Qing one after another.
Lan Caiwei walked up to them, ready to teach them a lesson. At this moment, Tang Qiunan immediately stood in front of the children: "Miss Lan, they are just children, please respect yourself."
"Can't children accept punishment?" Lan Caiwei was furious.
"It was you who spoke rudely first, and the children spoke last." Tang Qiunan's words were very direct and clear.
Lan Caiwei knew Tang Qiunan's kung fu and knew that she was no match for her, so she had no choice but to stop her activities. She was a typical bully and afraid of the strong.
Zhou Zheng looked like a tiger with a smile on his face and came to smooth things over with a smile: "Okay, children, let's continue singing and dancing! Miss Lan, we have an upper box for you to enjoy. Qiu Nan and Su Qing, you go and greet the new guests."
Su Qing and Tang Qiunan stopped their debate for Zhou Zheng's sake.
But Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts did not stop.
When Zhou Zheng sent Lan Caiwei upstairs, Tang Qiunan immediately complained loudly: "You Lan Caiwei, you have been idle all day long, cheating and cheating under the name of the crown prince's sworn sister, and you still come to us to show off your power."
"Without the relationship of the crown prince's sworn sister, she is nothing. How dare you come to our painstaking restaurant and act unscrupulously!"
Su Qing grabbed Tang Qiunan's hand and gently comforted her: "Don't worry about it. When our restaurant becomes popular, we will press her face on the ground and rub it."
Tang Qiunan naturally couldn't stand a self-righteous person stepping on her head: "Now I think Zhou Zheng and your face should be spared."
Su Qing was helpless. It seemed that the relationship between Tang Qiunan and the prince had become much stiffer because of this idiot Lan Caiwei.
Su Qing secretly concluded in her heart that she must be humble and low-key when dealing with others, otherwise it will lead to disaster.
Accompanied by Zhou Zheng, Lan Caiwei went to the upper box. She felt that the service at the top was not bad, and she couldn't get over it for a while. There were also children who had been trained by Su Qing to play the piano.
It can be said to be very comfortable.
Without Lan Caiwei to cause trouble, the three of them began to discuss the reasons for the poor business of the restaurant. In the end, they concluded that the restaurant had just opened and there was not enough publicity and word-of-mouth reputation.
So the three of them discussed it all night long before they separated.
The next day, when Su Qing was at a loss for business in the restaurant, several uninvited guests came to the restaurant.
It's not just Xie Shuting, Zhou Zheng and other young masters.
Zhou Zheng saw Su Qing's confused look and gave her a look.
Su Qing instantly understood that it was Zhou Zheng who led Xie Shuting and his friends to come to support him.
Su Qing asked the waiter to come forward and serve: "Hello, sir, what side dishes do you need?"
"The first-class private room, all the signature dishes, and there will be singing and dancing!" Xie Shuting is worthy of being a person who hangs out all year round. He looks quite generous. "Everyone is open to play today, and I will reserve the place!"
Su Qing looked at Xie Shuting's arrogant appearance. On the one hand, she wanted to complain about his squandering, but on the other hand, she was grateful for his help.
Xie Shuting brought many good friends. These people were either from aristocratic families or high-ranking officials, which established the restaurant's ability to serve prominent people.
It can attract many people of this level to open up the market.
While enjoying it, Xie Shuting inspected and compared. After returning home, he wrote down his own experience and opinions to Zhou Zheng, who then discussed with Su Qing and made improvements.
At night, Su Qing went to see Xie Shuting: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for supporting my restaurant."
"Qing'er, you're welcome. Your restaurant is my restaurant. Why shouldn't I support my wife's restaurant?" Xie Shuting was clearly trying to get closer to each other, but his words were still a bit distant.
Su Qing nodded, but Xie Shuting immediately picked up the paper and looked like he was going to work.
She knew the hard work of the superior, so she didn't bother her too much: "Qing'er will adopt all the opinions of the prince, Qing'er will resign."
Xie Shuting nodded slightly.
Su Qing couldn't see through Xie Shuting. Was he trying to find out the truth about the death of his mother and concubine, or was he using this as an excuse to enter the court?
Is he a playboy, or is he using this mask to protect himself?
Does he like himself, or is he just using himself and playing hard to get?
All kinds of things made Su Qing full of curiosity about Xie Shuting.
After being approached and tested again and again, she believed that Xie Shuting was not heartless towards her, but she didn't know what the relationship was like and how far it would go, and she didn't have enough confidence in herself.
In the end, Su Qing came to the conclusion faintly in her heart: Everything must be settled slowly.
Xie Shuting was handling government affairs when the guard handed him a note: "The second prince's adviser asked me to give it to you."
Xie Shuting took it and unfolded the note. There was an address inside.
He knew that this was the address of the maid who had served his mother and concubine back then: "Qiu Da, follow me to this address tomorrow."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Guard Qiu Da replied.
The two of them came to the address on the note together, which was in a remote village.
Xie Shuting came to investigate personally, which shows how seriously he takes this matter. His heart was beating like thunder. This maid who had been with her mother and concubine all those years ago must know the truth.
He took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and then waited quietly for someone to open the door.
"Who is here..." A rather old voice answered.
Xie Shuting saw an old man with gray hair: "Excuse me, is this Chun Mian's address?"
Chunmian was the name used by the maid when she served her mother and concubine. As soon as the old man heard this name, he immediately closed the door and said, "She is not here. You have found the wrong person."
Xie Shuting once again confirmed the address on the note, which is here: "Old man, I just want to ask a few questions."
"What kind of evil did Chun Mian do? Even now, I can't live peacefully." The old man sighed.
Xie Shuting saw the difficulty and anger in the old man's eyes through her cloudy eyes.
He immediately took out a piece of indigo silver and said: "Old man, this is a little bit of my thoughts..."
The old man patted down the money: "Is this how rich people insult others? Isn't Chun Mian's situation just something that can be spent with money?"
