Chu Ci walked down the stairs from the second floor and looked at the people downstairs in confusion. There are still people coming to the restaurant to eat in this kind of weather. These people must be fools, right?

When the young lady and the shopkeeper heard Chu Ci's voice, they both looked up at the stairs.

Chu Ci walked down from the upstairs with her sleeves fluttering in the wind. This scene can only be described in two words: fairy.

The young lady looked at Chu Ci with jealousy, then looked down at herself. Her originally clean embroidered shoes were now covered in mud and water, and even the edge of her skirt was dotted with mud spots.

Vanity made her lower her head, but soon she raised it again. No matter how nicely she dressed or how beautiful she looked, it didn't matter. She was the one living in Prince Rui's Mansion now.

Chu Ci looked at the angry Xiao Rou and said, "So you are Miss Xiao Rou from General Dingbei's Mansion. What brings you here?"

Xiao Rou looked at Chu Ci, her original anger put away, and she put on her clothes with a haughty look. She raised her chin slightly, looked at Chu Ci with her peripheral vision, and found a chair nearby to sit down. "Isn't this Chu Ci, the eldest daughter of the Chu Marquis Mansion?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Xiaorou pretended to pat her lips and said, "Look at my mouth. It's faster than my brain. I said this without thinking. For a moment, I forgot that the Chu family was already destroyed."

Chu Ci walked down the stairs. The two of them were so close that she suspected that Xiao Rou hadn't even touched her face just now, and she was pretending so well.

Chu Ci slowly walked towards Xiao Rou, pulling the shopkeeper and the waiter behind him. "It's normal for Miss Xiao Rou to forget. After all, your brain capacity is so small, and the little you have left can only fit Prince Rui in it."

Chu Ci's words made Xiaorou's hard-earned smile crack. She held on to the chair tightly, "Sister, I just forgot something and didn't react. There's no need to curse so harshly."

"You said I had no brains, but, so what? You're beautiful and smart, so what? Brother Rui still chose me."

"No matter how perfect you are, Brother Rui still gave up on you, didn't he?"

Chu Ci's face was dark. The only black spot in her life was Cang Mo.

"I just said that Miss Xiaorou's brain is not working well, but you didn't believe it and said I was scolding you. In fact, you don't know that what I said is the truth."

"I remember I told you before that I'm the eldest of my mother's daughters. Miss Xiaorou, who are you? Where did you come from? And you still call me sister?"

Xiaorou was choked by Chu Ci's words and couldn't say a word. She pointed at Chu Ci with her slender jade hand, and couldn't utter a word.

After talking for a long time, Xiaorou simply threw her hands away and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Chu Ci rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I didn't bring up this topic myself, you were the one who brought it up."

Xiaorou was furious. She stood up, slammed the table, and was about to say something, but was stopped in time by the little maid behind her, "Master, Master, calm down."

The little maid kept winking at Xiaorou, and only then did Xiaorou reluctantly suppress her anger temporarily.

Xiaorou glared at Chu Ci angrily, "Okay, little bitch, I can't deal with you, but can't I deal with a shopkeeper and a waiter?"

Xiao Rou looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter with a sinister look on her face. "That shopkeeper and the waiter were disrespectful to me. I'm going to drag them all out and chop them up."

Chu Ci looked at the shopkeeper and asked what happened.

The shopkeeper walked over to Chu Ci and pointed at Xiao Rou, "County Lady, this woman insisted on coming in to eat, and we're not open for business. No matter what we said, she wouldn't listen and kept barging in."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the waiter next to him, unwilling to be left out, walked up to the shopkeeper and said loudly, "Not only did she force her way in, she also hit people."

Chu Ci glanced at the waiter, and there was nothing unusual about him. He turned to look at the shopkeeper, and saw a palm print on the shopkeeper's face.

Chu Ci's eyes darkened, "Oh? Really?"

Chu Ci glanced at Xiao Rou's body, then winked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't react at first, so Chu Ci put his hands behind his back and gestured to the shopkeeper, who understood instantly.

Fortunately, his master was quick-witted. Xiaorou saw all of this.

The shopkeeper straightened his chest, looking righteous. "No, this lady is telling lies. She was missing a man and came in to insist on having sex with me. I didn't want to, so she slapped me in anger."

Chu Ci almost laughed out loud. He was indeed the shopkeeper, his acting was so convincing.

"If the county magistrate doesn't believe me, the waiter next to me can testify."

The waiter was frightened by the shopkeeper's words. Is it possible to say such words casually?

Seeing the waiter was dumbfounded, the shopkeeper kicked him and said, "Let me ask you, am I right?"

The waiter didn't react, but nodded subconsciously, "Yes, yes, it's just like what the shopkeeper said."

The waiter regretted what he said. He covered his mouth with his hands and looked at Chu Ci with pleading eyes, as if asking, could he not count what he had just said?

Chu Ci calmly shook his head. "That's definitely not possible. If it were possible, wouldn't that be false testimony?" False testimony is a serious crime.

Chu Ci looked at Xiao Rou, "Is what the shopkeeper said true?"

Xiao Rou shook her head frantically. She looked at Chu Ci and the shopkeeper as if they were two lunatics. "You guys are ganging up on me. I'm going to sue you. Sue you."

Chu Ci nodded. "You're right. This concerns your reputation. How about this? Let's go directly to the government. If you feel it's inappropriate, we can go to the emperor and talk to him. If I don't prove your innocence and allow you to withdraw the money today, I won't let it go. Don't worry."

Xiaorou's face immediately turned dark. This kind of thing was not good for women in this dynasty. She even went to hold the official uniform and ask the emperor for judgment. This was not a big enough matter. Was her reputation too good?

"I dont go."

Xiaorou stepped back, turned around and was about to run.

How could Chu Ci let her run away like this? She had been preparing for this move for a long time. "No, no one is allowed to run away. No one is allowed to leave until this matter is discussed clearly. If you don't trust me, we can go to the emperor to discuss it."

"Otherwise, let's not report to the police. We can just go directly to the emperor." After Chu Ci said this, he pulled Xiaorou out.

Xiao Rou pushed Chu Ci away with all her strength. "No, I didn't seduce you. I didn't want to be with the shopkeeper. I just barged in. I saw you coming in, so I followed you in."

"Who knew the shopkeeper would let you eat but not me, so I beat him up."

Chu Ci nodded in understanding, "Then how do we solve this?"

"I'll pay you, and you name your price."

Chu Ci nodded and stretched out his hand, "One hundred thousand taels."

Xiaorou was reluctant at first, but when she thought about going before the emperor, she handed over the banknote happily.

"Chu Ci, I won't let this matter go. Just wait." Xiao Rou gave the banknote and ran away.
