Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Qu Tiantian stomped his feet angrily as he spoke, looking like a complete scoundrel.

"That food box is Miss Yuyu's treasure. It contains snacks she carefully prepared. It was meant to be shared with everyone. You took it away without permission. That's wrong!"

Cheng Chumo was so angry that he clenched his fists and raised his voice a few degrees, refuting Qu Tiantian righteously.

"I don't care. I don't think it's a big deal. Stop lecturing me here!" Qu Tiantian turned his head away, looking like he was refusing to admit his mistake.

He completely ignored the condemning looks from the people around him and his father's increasingly gloomy face, and still stubbornly insisted on his own twisted logic.

It seemed as if as long as he didn't admit it, everything he did would become justified.

While the quarrel was going on here, Yu Yu's family also noticed the commotion here.

Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled the still sobbing Yuyu over, and Lihao followed closely behind.

Xiaoyu looked at the tense scene before her, frowning slightly before asking softly, "What's going on? Why are they arguing again?"

Her eyes swept over the Qu family father and son, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao one by one, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart, but looking at Yuyu's red and swollen eyes, she felt distressed.

As soon as Yuyu saw Qu Tiantian, she pointed at him and cried out in a sobbing voice: "It's him, he must have taken my lunch box, wuwuwu..."

Anyone who sees that aggrieved little look will feel heartbroken.

Li Hao also said angrily, "Qu Tiantian, you are so mean. Why did you take Sister Yuyu's lunch box? It's full of our favorite foods. Return it now!"

Li Hao clenched his fists, his face flushed red with anger. He glared at Qu Tiantian with eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he wanted to snatch the food box belonging to Yu Yu from him immediately.

At this time, the people around also followed suit. A white-haired old man stood up and said to Qu Tiantian earnestly: "Yuyu has already said that you should take it back. It's someone else's property. It's not appropriate for you to keep it."

"That's right, look at Miss Yuyu crying so sadly. The lunch box must be very important to her. You are a grown man, so stop playing tricks on her." An old lady carrying a basket also hurriedly advised, with a look of blame in her eyes.

"Qu Tiantian, please return the lunch box to Yu Yu. A good child is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them. Everyone is watching us." Several young men also spoke one after another.

Everyone felt that Qu Tiantian had really gone too far this time. They all hoped that he would listen to advice and return the food box so that the storm could be settled.

Qu Tiantian twisted his neck, held the food box tightly with both hands, and said arrogantly: "I won't return it! I won't return it! Humph, I, I, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he wanted to turn around and run out of Zuixianlou.

Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Qu's face instantly turned ashen, and he shouted, "Where are you going, you bastard!"

As he said that, he took a step forward, grabbed Qu Tiantian's collar from behind, and pulled him back with force.

Qu Tiantian was strangled and coughed, but he was still struggling to break free, mumbling: "Let me go, let me go, I don't want to stay here anymore."

County Magistrate Qu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand as if to hit his son, but seeing his son's stubborn and unconvinced look, he finally held back.

He just glared at her, "If you dare to leave today, I'll break your legs! You did something wrong and you still don't repent, and you still want to slip away. How can you get away with it that easily? Hurry and return the lunch box to the owner and apologize to Miss Yuyu!"

A woman holding a child shook her head and said softly, "Look at Qu Tiantian. Even at this point, he's still thinking of leaving. He's such a willful person. No wonder the county magistrate is so angry."

An old man nearby stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and sighed, "Alas, this child has been spoiled. Now that he has made a mistake, he still doesn't repent and wants to leave. What will happen to him in the future?"

Several young men smiled at each other, and one of them lowered his voice and joked, "Look at how embarrassed he is. Being dragged by the county magistrate, he can't even run away. I want to see what tricks he can come up with now."

There was also an elderly woman selling vegetables who curled her lips and whispered to the people around her, "This Qu Tiantian, where has his usual arrogance gone? He should admit his mistakes now. We can't let him off so easily, otherwise he will become even more lawless in the future."

While everyone was talking, they stared at the Qu family father and son intently.

Cheng Chumo frowned, his eyes filled with displeasure. He took a step forward and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Qu Tiantian, you still want to leave, right? You did something wrong and took someone else's things, and now you want to just walk away? How can it be that easy?"

Qin Huaidao also sneered, crossed his arms, and stood aside, echoing, "That's right, do you think this Zuixianlou is your backyard? You can come and go as you please?"

"If you don't resolve this matter today, return the lunch box to Miss Yuyu, and apologize sincerely, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

The gazes of the two men were like two sharp blades, piercing Qu Tiantian straight, making him feel a little timid even though he originally wanted to struggle to leave.

But he still said stubbornly: "I... why should I listen to you? I'm leaving, what can you do to me?"

But the slightly trembling voice still exposed his guilty conscience at the moment.

In this tense atmosphere, the cats and dogs raised by Yu Yu from Zuixianlou came out.

The calico cat meowed as if to protest the noisy scene. It jumped onto the table beside it, its eyes wide open, looking at everyone vigilantly.

The two local dogs next to him also started barking "woof woof woof", and the barking echoed in Zuixian Tower, as if they were scolding Qu Tiantian for being ignorant.

Bichon Frise and Pomeranian also joined in the fun, hiding in corners or running around people's feet. Their barking sounds made the already noisy lobby even more noisy.

The majestic Husky walked over and glared at the cheating Qu Tiantian with a serious face.

One of the common people laughed and joked, "Oh, look at these little guys, they can't stand this anymore and have come to join in the fun."

Another person chimed in, "Haha, maybe they all know that Qu Tiantian was wrong and are trying to help Miss Yuyu get justice."

Everyone's attention was briefly distracted by these cats and dogs, but they soon focused their attention back on the Qu family father and son, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao and others.
