Xiao Tao anxiously asked, “Miss, has Yang Yang still not come back?”
“Boss, are you looking for me?” Gao Yang ran over, panting.
He looked at the lively scene in front of him and was completely stunned.
Oh my god!
He had only been gone for one hour—what on earth happened? Why were there suddenly so many people lining up to buy stinky tofu?
Could it be…
He turned to Gao Donghai and lowered his voice, “Grandfather, you must have spent quite a lot of money! You even hired so many extras to support the stall. That’s really generous of you.”
Gao Donghai looked confused. “My private money was confiscated by your grandmother. Where would I get money to do that?”
“But didn’t you say earlier in the mansion that you would find people to support me?”
Gao Donghai pointed at a few friends not far away. “Yes, aren’t they here?”
“Yang Yang, hurry up and serve the customers.”
Sigh! Grandpa really gave him a nickname again.
He had only gone back to the Gao residence intending to grab a quick bite and ask his grandfather to help find some people to support them.
Who knew his grandfather was secretly eating hot pot again? Seeing such a feast, he couldn’t resist sitting down and eating from start to finish, almost forgetting about the stall entirely.
“Boss, I didn’t slack off. I’ll go serve the customers now and maintain order.”
He immediately got into character and said seriously to Gao Donghai, “This customer, please go line up. If you’re late, you might not be able to buy it. Don’t think just because I’m your grandson you can cut the line.”
Gao Donghai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This grandson really changes his attitude fast. Just a while ago he was asking him to bring people to support the stall, and now that business was booming, he was acting all proud.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanren was furious.
He had originally spread rumors to make her a laughingstock, but instead, it had brought her even more customers.
He had even lost one tael of silver.
“Brother Zhang, Brother Shu, think of a way quickly! We must ruin her stall!”
Zhang Peng suddenly had an idea.
He pulled the two of them aside and whispered a few words.
Then the three of them ran toward the government office.
Zhang Peng even glanced back at the stall with an evil smile.
Hmph. Let her be proud a little longer.
A quarter of an hour later.
After standing by the hot oil pot for a long time, she was already sweating heavily. She drank a cup of cold water and finally felt better.
At this moment, several government officers approached. They were dressed in official uniforms with swords at their waists, looking imposing.
The leading tall officer said loudly, “Are you Liu Zhizhi? We received a report that someone accused you of setting up a stall and disturbing the public in front of the Sixth Prince’s residence. Evidence and witnesses are all present. Leave immediately.”
Liu Zhizhi glanced into the distance. “Zhang Peng, it was you three who reported me, right?”
Zhang Peng did not deny it. Instead, he said arrogantly, “Yes, it was us. So what? Do you deny disturbing the public?”
“Who did I disturb?” she asked back.
Zhu Yuanren quickly answered, “You disturbed the Sixth Prince.”
She sneered. “Oh? Then why didn’t the Sixth Prince send someone to drive me away? Do you have such a close relationship with him that you can decide for him?”
The group froze.
Of course they had no such connection with the cold and distant Sixth Prince.
Just then, the guards at the gate spoke up, explaining everything.
The officer frowned. The situation seemed unclear.
At that moment, someone called out, “The Sixth Prince is coming out!”
The crowd immediately parted.
The Sixth Prince walked out.
The moment Liu Zhizhi saw him, it was the first time she truly faced him since transmigrating.
He wore a dark green robe, a white belt around his waist, black boots, and his long hair was secured with a jade hairpin.
His aura was noble and cold.
He was tall, with sharp brows, deep eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. However, the iron mask on his face gave him a mysterious and eerie presence.
She politely bowed like everyone else and smiled sweetly. “Your Highness, am I disturbing you by setting up a stall here?”
To everyone’s surprise, his voice was cold yet calm: “You are not disturbing this prince. You may continue.”
Liu Zhizhi was slightly surprised, then smiled brightly. “Thank you!”
Zhang Peng and the others were stunned.
Impossible!
Could the Sixth Prince have been charmed?
He was supposed to be indifferent to women!
Zhang Peng said through gritted teeth, “Liu Zhizhi, just you wait!”
Gao Yang shouted after them, “Bring it on! My boss and I aren’t afraid of you!”
