Chapter 309: The Farce Written by Anle
"My dear, all the scholars in the world... not just scholars, but people all over the world care about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. You have been slandered, and I see that many people believe it. If this continues, it will do more harm than good to you. If it continues like this, I am afraid that everyone will think that you are that kind of person."
Yu Shui thought An Qiao didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so she was still anxious and pointed fingers, just hoping that An Qiao could understand how serious the matter was.
There are rumors everywhere, and it's much more serious than the incident with beef brisket stewed with potatoes.
Many people even felt that it was a good thing that they had never eaten at this restaurant. How could a person who could abandon his mother and brother be a good person?
There were many people outside the door watching the fun and laughing. Early in the morning, the door was surrounded by people in three layers.
"Why don't you open the door? Are you too guilty to open the door?" A man with a loud voice stood aside and said with a smile, his eyes full of provocation and anticipation.
This is an acquaintance. When An Qiao first opened the restaurant, he came to cause trouble.
It seems that he is indeed a professional troublemaker.
Sure enough, as soon as this person finished speaking, many people echoed him.
"That's right. I didn't expect that this lady from the restaurant, who looks so decent, is actually this kind of person behind the scenes."
"Before, I saw her taking in little beggars, buying clothes for them, and paying them wages every day. I didn't expect she would be so mean to her family."
"Oh, who said it wasn't true? You're really good at pretending. You're really good at pretending."
"Alas, it is true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."
Many people gathered in the alley outside, pointing and talking about the Kyoto restaurant. They all looked hateful, but they also seemed to be righteous.
Even the entrances of the milk tea shop, Huancai Building and grocery store were affected and they lingered at the doorsteps.
An Qiao thought for a moment, looked at Yu Shui and asked, "Is Xu Banshan here?"
Yu Shui nodded, "Earlier, Mr. Banshan came as soon as he heard the news and was waiting for the young lady in the front hall."
An Qiao nodded and said, "I'm afraid other stores will be in chaos too. You can ask Dashu and Xiaoshu to go to different stores. Especially the milk tea shop and Huancailou. They are full of young ladies and it's not safe."
Yu Shui nodded again, then quickly turned around and ran out.
An Qiao sighed. Although verbal violence was scary, it was still tolerable as long as there was no real shouting for fighting and killing.
The day Anqiao drove Anle out, she thought of today. Anle was not a person who could swallow hatred, and she couldn't even resolve jealousy and unhappiness by herself.
What's more, she didn't give Anle face in public, but he and his classmates threw them out all at once.
Anqiao would find it strange if Anle didn't take revenge.
But I didn't expect that Anle would actually spend money to take revenge on me.
In a short period of time, this article was spread throughout Kyoto Prefecture and even caused so many disputes. This would have been impossible if it hadn't cost money.
Anle has neither fame nor reputation.
How could it be possible that he had such a great influence just because he was praised by his classmates?
An Qiao walked to the front hall while thinking. Xu Banshan saw An Qiao come out and suddenly found it funny.
"The young lady is really relaxed and at ease. She doesn't seem to be too worried about what's going on outside."
"What are you worried about? Don't I have you? You are my military advisor." An Qiao smiled and began to make tea. While making tea, she looked at Xu Banshan and said, "Let me tell you a story."
Xu Banshan looked at the tea in An Qiao's hand and said, "Young lady, talk to me while you make tea. It's been a long time since I've experienced such a moment of making tea."
An Qiao began to tell the story of her original life. Her tone was soft and gentle, as if without any emotion.
He carefully recounted every detail from his original body's memories.
He talked about his childhood, how he was sold, and then about the inhumane life in the palace.
When An Qiao shut up, the whole restaurant became eerily quiet. Xu Banshan also held the tea bowl lightly and was unable to speak.
"Are you surprised?" An Qiao asked, looking at Xu Banshan's expression.
Xu Banshan nodded. "I am a little shocked. The young lady looks like she was raised in luxury. She is very healthy and always has a smile on her face."
An Qiao shook her head and said, "My father has indeed provided me with a comfortable life."
Xu Banshan smiled with relief, "I used to feel that I was not living a satisfactory life, but now I think it is nothing special, still not as good as the young lady, and my mood is very peaceful."
An Qiao looked at Xu Banshan and said, "It's not that peaceful actually. I couldn't figure it out many times, but now it's your turn to not figure it out... I'd like to trouble you to tell me the story you just heard."
Xu Banshan nodded and said, "Young lady, don't worry. This is all I can do."
"This is already a great skill. Ever since you came to Kyoto Restaurant, I have never been afraid of others throwing dirty water on me. It is because of you that I am very grateful to you for this matter. If one day you come, perhaps I will not be used to it."
An Qiao looked at him seriously, her tone firm.
Xu Banshan glanced into the distance without leaving a trace, "The young lady's cooking is so delicious, I can't bear to leave for the time being."
"I'm just worried that all good things must come to an end." An Qiao also smiled and said seriously.
Xu Banshan nodded, "But don't worry too much for now, I will help you."
An Qiao placed the whole pot of tea in front of Xu Banshan and said, "I'll open the door now. The tea is hot, so be careful."
"Hahahaha, thank you for your concern, young lady. I will naturally be more careful." Xu Banshan laughed heartily, as if he had not been so happy for a long time.
An Qiao stood up and went back to the backyard. It was a time like this, she couldn't stay indoors. If she did, it would seem like she was scared.
"Young lady, what do you need me to do?" Zhao Hengzhi came out of the pastry shop and asked seriously.
"It's true that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. I don't need your help for now. If I need it, I will tell you. Your top priority now is to make more money and spend it on your wife." An Qiao rarely saw Zhao Hengzhi so serious and couldn't help but joked.
Zhao Hengzhi's face was visibly red. "It's fine if you don't need my help, but you're still teasing me. Sometimes I really don't want to care about you all day long."
An Qiao smiled happily, and the busyness of the morning disappeared at this moment.
"Guys, come out, the door is open."
An Qiao stood in the yard and shouted.
Everyone came out, but they all looked embarrassed.
"Are you going to open the door today? Young lady... there's already a lot of chaos outside. When Dahan and the others went out just now, they were almost eaten alive by those people."
The rain said timidly.
After all, it was she who told An Qiao just now, and it was An Qiao who instructed her, and she was the one who sent Dahan and the others out personally.
