After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

When Madam Du heard this, she said, "Why not? Your house is small, and there is no room for more people. If you don't mind, just bring all of Jin'er's fellow apprentices to my house. Anyway, my place is big, and you can have fun however you want. What do you think?"

"Ah?" The three of us looked at Mrs. Du in surprise. Although Jinping's fellow apprentices were all very well behaved, Mrs. Du had no objection to so many people coming to the Du Mansion to celebrate the New Year, but what about Lord Du? What about Du Changfeng?

Du Changfeng is not only stubborn, but also easily offends people with his words. What should we do if Wanren offends Master Lu and he refuses to teach Jinping?

Mrs. Du saw that we were hesitant and said immediately, "Okay, it's settled. I'll talk to your father when he gets back from duty, and then I'll clean up the house and you can come directly."

I said hesitantly, "Jin Ping's teacher is also at our house. Let's go back and discuss it with him before making a decision. If Master Lu doesn't agree, we can't force him."

After hearing this, Yiping and Jinping nodded quickly.

Mrs. Du had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. Anyway, I'll ask the servants to clean up the house in a while. No matter what Master Lu means, you guys must come and accompany me for a few days."

Seeing that Mrs. Du was so determined, I had to say, "Of course, how could we bear to leave our mother and not spend the New Year with her?"

Mrs. Du was very happy to hear this and said, "These are my good children."

I glanced outside the door and saw that it was getting late, so I had to say, "Mom, we have something else to do today, so we have to leave. We'll come visit you next time."

Mrs. Du saw that we were leaving and couldn't help but said anxiously, "Your father should be released soon. You should wait for him to come back. It won't be too late to have dinner together before leaving."

I shook my head and said, "It's troublesome to leave the city. There will be curfew after dinner. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

Mrs. Du said, "If you can't leave, then don't leave. Just stay here tonight."

I said, "It's really inconvenient to have guests at home. Let's go back and ask Master Lu, and then come back tomorrow to answer mother."

After saying that, I stood up. Seeing this, Yiping and Jinping also stood up.

Mrs. Du saw that we wanted to leave and said sadly, "Then you must reply to me as soon as possible. I will wait for you at home."

The three of us nodded together and bowed to Mrs. Du. I said, "It's cold outside, so you don't have to see me off. And if you know we're coming, don't wait outside the door. It's cold, and I'm afraid you can't handle it. If you get sick, we'll be sad."

After hearing this, Mrs. Du almost wanted to cry again.

The two children at home were never so caring, leaving her alone at home every day, cold and lonely, facing only four walls every day, so lonely and empty. Now there are three such caring and well-behaved children around her, this liveliness finally makes her feel like she is living a normal life, so she is very afraid that we will not want her and leave her alone again.

Mrs. Du held Yi Ping's hand tightly and refused to let go. She said, "You promised to come and accompany mother. You can't break your promise."

I quickly said, "No, don't worry, mother. I will ask my eldest brother to come and tell you the news tomorrow."

Mrs. Du was delighted when she heard this and said, "You two should come too. Mother likes lively occasions."

Yi Ping said, "Don't worry, mother. We will definitely not abandon you."

Mrs. Du felt relieved after getting the confirmation and insisted on sending us off, but we held her back.

When we came out of the Du Mansion, the sun had already set. We had wasted too much time and were afraid that we would not be able to get back before dark, so we immediately ran to the first shop.

The two shops Zheng Xian gave us were both on Chang'an Street, but one was at the beginning of the street and the other at the end of the street. Since we were going out of the city, we went to the one at the beginning of the street first.

I found the store according to the address on the property deed. I didn’t expect that the store was right next to Wangyue Tower, and it was a very luxuriously decorated jewelry store!

The three of us stood in front of this jewelry store called Xingyaoxuan and were a little afraid to lift our legs!

Such a location, such a shop, and such a luxurious jewelry store, Zheng Xian gave it to me?

Due to the city-wide control, business was not doing well, and Xingyaoxuan only opened a side door to welcome customers, but there was still a waiter standing at the door to greet guests.

The guy saw that the three of us were dressed casually and didn't look like we were here to spend money, so he didn't want to bother with us.

I took the deed to the clerk and asked, "Excuse me, is your boss here?"

The clerk glanced at me and asked, "What do you want from our shopkeeper?"

I can't believe that such a big jewelry store would hire a clerk who looks down on others as a receptionist. It's really a bad apple that spoils the whole barrel.

My face darkened and I said, "Of course I have something to talk to your shopkeeper about. Ask him to come out and see me."

The waiter didn't move, glanced at me sideways, and said, "If every customer came to see our shopkeeper, our shopkeeper would be very busy. Tell me what you want first, and then I can report to the shopkeeper and see if he wants to see you."

I stretched out my leg and kicked the waiter, and he flew backwards into the house. Soon, I heard screams like a pig being slaughtered.

Yiping had even seen beheadings, so a kick like that wouldn't have caused her any trouble. But it was the first time Jinping saw me hitting someone, and my ferocity frightened him. He leaned over to Yiping and asked in a low voice, "A-Man, if you hit someone, do you have to pay for it?"

Yi Ping snorted and said, "If there is any compensation, it should be paid by them."

Yingchun was the calmest one. With the protection of His Majesty, beating and scolding a servant was no big deal.

Yingchun followed me in calmly.

Yiping and Jinping hurried to follow.

There were not many guests in the house at that time. There were only two or three servants who came to pick up the reserved jewelry. When they saw the waiter being beaten, they were so scared that they all huddled in a corner and dared not say a word.

The waiter who was kicked had been helped up by others. The shopkeeper also hurried out from the back hall. Seeing the waiter being beaten, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Before the guy could say anything, I walked into the room.

The guy immediately pointed at me and said, "That's him. He hit me."

The shopkeeper walked towards me with an angry look on his face and shouted, "Why did this guest hit my waiter?"

I sneered and said, "Why? Because he looked down on others and didn't do his job to greet the guests."

The waiter got anxious and shouted, "You're talking nonsense. When have I ever failed to do my duty and serve customers?"

I didn't waste time talking to him. I took out the deed and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, saying, "I want to find someone who can make the decision. Can you please call him out?"

The shopkeeper's face changed when he saw the deed, and he bowed to me and said, "I was notified a few months ago that the shop had changed owners. But after a few months, the new owner still hasn't shown up. I didn't expect the new owner to be such a young man. I'm sorry. I'm here to meet the new owner."
