“Yes…” Shen Yucheng lowered his head in shame and said, “The brothers of Wang Mazi are all street hooligans and all servants in our restaurant were incapable of fighting with them, so we failed to stop them smashing our restaurant.”
“My Lord, it’s all my fault. Things wouldn’t go like this if I didn’t offend him yesterday.” Shen Yucheng kneeled down before Jing Yue and said with his eyes full of guilt.
“Don’t feel guilty. It’s not your fault.” Jing Yue motioned with her hands while helping Shen Yucheng up, “It’s my duty that I have no idea about such a big trouble. Don’t worry, I will find some justice for your suffering today.”
“Boss, please calm down. Wang Mazi has so many helpers that our restaurant will have no future in East Street if we offend him.” Shen Yucheng said in a hurry.
“Don’t worry, I won’t offend him.” Jing Yue said with the corner of her mouth twitched a little.
Shen Yucheng looked at Jing Yue with some confusion. He couldn’t figure out what else Jing Yue could do except giving more money to please Wang Mazi. It seemed that they could only do like that. Shen Yucheng sighed helplessly with this guess and felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
“Tell Wang Mazi that the owner of ‘Come With Money’ wants to meet him.” Jing Yue said to Shen Yucheng with a faint smile.
“Ok, I got it.” Shen Yucheng answered and realized that his guess would come true after hearing Jing Yue’s decision. He went out and sighed deeply outside the door, feeling quite exhausted.
Jing Yue sat back and looked out of the window silently. Xing Er was standing beside Jing Yue with his eyebrows slightly frowned and wondering how Jing Yue would deal with the problem when Jing Yue suddenly turned back to Xing Er and asked, “Are there any good bows in the palace?”
“…Yes.” Xing Er nodded after a while of pause. He looked at Jing Yue and felt a bit confused about her request.
“Let’s go home and practice shooting.” Jing Yue said with her eyebrows curved and walked away.
Jing Yue asked Xing Er for a bow as soon as they went back to the palace. She stood in the Lotus Garden and began shooting arrows at a tree with thick trunk. From the beginning of one shot at a time to three shots at the same time, Jing Yue’s skill of archery improved rapidly in only two hours, which shocked Xing Er who stood aside a lot.
“Good.” Jing Yue nodded her head and smiled pleasantly with her eyebrows curved. She gave her bow to Xing Er and said, “Take good care of it. We’ll take it to the restaurant tomorrow.”
Jing Yue turned back and went into her room without hesitation after finishing speaking, leaving Xing Er standing there with a shocked face. He was wondering why Jing Yue would like to take the bow to the restaurant. Did she plan to use the bow to frighten those hooligans so that they would be afraid of making any trouble again in the restaurant?
Xing Er looked at the bow with his eyebrows slightly frowned.
The next morning the door of Jing Yue’s room was opened when Yin Qiao was about to knock at it and wake up Jing Yue. Jing Yue stood in front of Ying Qiao, dressed well, which made Yin Qiao stunned for a while before she came to herself to extend due respects.
“Your Highness, let me serve you with the needs for washing your face and rinsing your teeth.” Yin Qiao bowed to her and Jing Yue agreed with her head nodding.
After that, Jing Yue found Xing Er already standing by the carriage outside the palace. She took a glance at Xing Er, went into the carriage and headed for the restaurant. When they arrived there, the front door of the restaurant was still closed, so Jing Yue entered from the back door.
