Chapter 219 Someone Pushed Me
At this time, Chun Tao's maid was carefully wiping her young lady Jiang Li's shoes and skirt with a handkerchief, scolding the waiter non-stop: "How do you do things? You are so impetuous. If you dirty our young lady's clothes, I don't think you will be able to bear the consequences!"
"I...I...I really didn't mean it." The waiter stammered and explained again and again. Due to excessive nervousness, his speech was a little incoherent. His panicked voice soon attracted the attention of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper came over after hearing the noise. After seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately understood what had happened. So, he also hurried forward, bowed deeply to Jiang Li, and said apologetically: "Sir, I am very sorry for making you suffer. How about this, I will give you a small meal today and waive all the money. It's all my apology to you. Do you think it's okay?"
However, the waiter frowned and said, "Boss, it really wasn't me. Someone pushed me from behind, which caused me to accidentally bump into this distinguished guest." Before he finished speaking, the waiter at the side hurriedly wanted to explain, but the shopkeeper was quick-witted and interrupted him with an angry shout: "Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"
"You did something wrong and you're still trying to make excuses! You don't need to come tomorrow!" The shopkeeper's eyes were wide open and he glared at the waiter in front of him. He believed that the waiter was just looking for excuses for his mistake.
"It's really not me, it's really not me!" The waiter was so anxious that his face turned red, his eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to cry.
Jiang Li was originally in a trance, but she slowly came back to her senses when she heard the quarrel. She turned her head and looked at the waiter, who looked aggrieved. She couldn't help but feel a little pity for him, so she asked, "You said someone pushed you, who was it?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter looked up as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He first looked at Jiang Li, then carefully glanced at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper nodded slightly to show his permission, and the waiter said tremblingly, "It's the maid brought by the guest from Room No. 1."
The waiter's words made Jiang Li fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but feel confused. Who was living in Room 1? Why did the maid he brought with him have a dispute with the waiter? And at this moment...
"It's her!" A delicate voice was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Murong Xue walking quickly towards them with a maidservant in her arms, with an angry look on her face, followed closely by a large group of people with different expressions.
The maid's face was full of fear, and she kept shouting, "It's not me, it's not me! Miss, please spare me!" However, Murong Xue was not moved at all. She threw the maid hard to the ground.
"You still dare to quibble? I saw with my own eyes that you pushed the waiter to the ground!" Murong Xue stepped forward, stretched out her slender hand, pinched the corner of the maid's mouth, and said sternly.
At this moment, an extremely arrogant voice suddenly came over: "What are you doing? How dare you treat my people like this? Let me go immediately!"
Jiang Li couldn't help but frown when he heard this voice, and secretly sighed in his heart, because he was very familiar with this voice. The person who came was Wanyan Zhu'er, the fifth princess of the Jin Kingdom who was notoriously arrogant and domineering.
Murong Xue obviously noticed who was coming. She loosened her hand that was tightly pinching the maid's mouth, slowly stood up, and moved to block Jiang Li. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on Wanyan Zhuer who was striding towards this side. !
"Fifth Princess, Fifth Princess, please help me! I really didn't do anything, but was brought here by this young lady for no apparent reason!" The maidservant came to Wanyan Zhu'er with tears streaming down her face, hugged her legs tightly, and begged bitterly.
Wanyan Zhuer's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she shouted angrily: "You people are so bold that you dare to bully an innocent slave in broad daylight! Is there still the law? Is there still justice?"
At this time, Murong Xue and Jiang Li slowly walked forward, bowed to Wanyan Zhu'er, and said in unison: "Greetings to the Fifth Princess!" Although they did not have much good feelings towards the arrogant and domineering Fifth Princess, she was a princess of a country after all, so it was natural that they should show the proper etiquette.
Wanyan Zhuer glanced at the two with contempt, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be you two! Why, today you are not cowards like before?"
Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and explained with a smile: "Fifth Princess, please calm down. I was not feeling well a few days ago, so I could not attend the banquet. That's why I had to decline your invitation. I hope you will forgive me." It turned out that the day after the celebration banquet, Wanyan Zhuer sent someone to send an invitation to Jiang Li to attend a party. However, because Jiang Li was ill at the time, his mother Xie Lan declined on his behalf. I didn't expect to meet Wanyan Zhuer here today and cause such a commotion.
"Oh, that means Miss Jiang is fine now! This is really great, it's such a happy thing! I will send the invitation to your house someday. I am a newcomer to your Shang country, I am unfamiliar with the place, and everything is new to me. I hope Miss Jiang can be kind enough to take us around, so that we can appreciate the customs and culture of Shang country. What do you think?" Wanyan Zhu'er smiled and turned her gaze to the ladies from various families behind her.
