Enraged that he had failed to disrupt Gu's restaurant business, the Seventh Prince overturned the table.

Plates and bowls clattered all over the floor.

The diners around were all terrified.

After all, the Emperor of Qi was very indulgent and ingratiating towards the Prince of Nanyue. The diners were afraid of offending the Seventh Prince of Nanyue, and some of them paid but dared not eat and left directly.

Su Qianqian didn't give the Seventh Prince any face. She walked over and slapped him twice across the face.

"Huangfu Yuan, hurry up and pay up, or you won't be leaving Gu Ji."

Although the diners thought Miss Su was very capable, they all assumed that she would choose to swallow her anger towards the prince of Nan Yue, since the emperor regarded foreigners as treasures.

Unexpectedly, Miss Su dared to hit the prince of Nan Yue and even made him pay compensation.

The four guards brought by Huangfuyuan stepped forward to stop her, but they couldn't get close to Miss Su at all. They were easily defeated by Mo Xiaobei and Xiangming.

Xu Ruofeng brought over the abacus, and quickly calculated the total amount by moving the beads around.

"Master Su, the plates, bowls, and teacups that the Seventh Prince broke are worth a total of three hundred and eighteen taels."

Wu Qing, the Seventh Prince's attendant, was trampled underfoot by Xiang Ming, but he still managed to retort, "They're just ordinary plates and bowls, not worth that much money at all. At most, they're only worth a few taels of silver."

Su Qianqian showed the guests the mark on the bottom of the plate, "These are specially made plates and bowls with Gu Ji's mark burned on them. I had a total of 10,000 pieces burned, for the sake of good fortune. Now, a few sets are missing from the 10,000 pieces. My good fortune has been ruined. Asking you for more than 300 taels is already a bargain for you."

The guards the Seventh Prince had left outside noticed something was wrong and rushed in.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the Third Prince of Nan Yue arrived.

"Miss Su, please don't be angry. I'll make it up to you on his behalf."

After receiving the money, Su Qianqian instructed Mo Xiaobei to lead a group of men to throw the Seventh Prince and his guards out of the restaurant.

The sun was blazing outside, and the seventh prince felt dizzy and lightheaded from the heat.

This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a humiliating disgrace. He was not only slapped, but also thrown out of the house like a chick.

The Seventh Prince was so angry that his veins bulged. "Su Qianqian, I will never let you get away with this. I will definitely kill you."

Su Qianqian stood at the entrance of Gu Ji's restaurant, looking down at the Seventh Prince: "Huangfu Yuan, I'm only sparing you this time because of the Emperor of Da Qi. You'd better keep a low profile. If you dare to provoke me again, you'll regret ever being born."

The Seventh Prince returned to the Sifang Pavilion, brandished his sword, and slashed the newly decorated room to pieces, also injuring the Third Prince's face.

Although bright red blood flowed from the Third Prince's face, the wound was not deep.

"Seventh brother, don't be impulsive."

"Huangfu Hong, who told you to pay for me? Get out, get far away from me, I don't want to see you again."

Huangfu Hong stepped out of the house and stood in the blazing sun outside, his face extremely gloomy.

The mere presence of Miss Su was enough to make Seventh Brother lose his composure.

The seventh brother was impulsive and ignorant. He didn't know what his father saw in him that made him the crown prince.

Huangfu Hong felt that he was much better than Huangfu Yuan.

It would be great if the Seventh Prince died in Daqi, but it seems that no one in Daqi has the courage to kill him.

No, he overlooked one person; perhaps Miss Su has the courage.

That girl is both intelligent and brave; dealing with the Seventh Prince should be a piece of cake for her.

Judging from Seventh Brother's expression, he will definitely seek revenge on Miss Su again.

All he needs to do is sit back and watch the show.

In the past, Huangfu Hong felt that he had no hope of becoming emperor, because his father doted on his seventh brother, and his seventh brother's mother's family was extremely powerful.

But now things have changed.

The variable is Miss Su. With Miss Su around, he could compete for that position.

If Miss Su kills Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother's mother will definitely use all the power of her family to avenge him.

With Miss Su keeping Seventh Brother's mother in check, he can focus on developing his power and building his own influence.

The Third Prince could hear the Seventh Prince's hysterical shouts from inside the room: "Su Qianqian, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

The backyard of Gu's house was very lively.

Brother Yuan sat under the peach tree eating his meal, and received praise from many of the other workers.

"Brother Yuan, well done."

"Master Su is fair in rewarding and punishing. Brother Yuan, you have made a great contribution this time and you will surely be rewarded."

Many people are speculating what reward Brother Yuan will receive this time.

However, Su Qianqian announced in public, "Brother Yuan disregarded his own safety and violated Gu Ji's employee code of conduct. He will be fined one month's wages. Remember, the first thing to do in an emergency is to save your own life."

Brother Yuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Master Su, I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

But he doesn't regret sacrificing his life to protect Gu's business. If he encounters something like this again, he will still do everything in his power.

Su Qianqian took out a peach and handed it to Brother Yuan.

The peaches are fragrant and about the size of a small watermelon, with a lovely pink skin.

"Although you made mistakes, you also made contributions, Brother Yuan. This peach is a reward for you."

Brother Yuan took the peach, tears streaming down his face.

He arrived late and missed Su Qianqian distributing peaches to the staff.

But now, through selfless dedication, I have received this reward.

Brother Yuan held the precious peaches, unsure of what to do.

One of these peaches could sell for more than ten thousand taels of silver, and he knew his family would definitely not want to eat them.

Just as he was worrying, Feng Yuanxi came over.

"Brother Yuan, are you selling these peaches? I'll offer eight thousand taels of silver."

Brother Yuan had heard that when Miss Su distributed peaches to all the employees, she stipulated that if they wanted to resell them, they could only sell them to Gu's own people.

Among our own people, Feng Yuanxi is probably the only one who can afford eight thousand taels.

Feng Yuanxi patted Brother Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yuan, if you encounter something like this again, call me. I can eat cockroaches too."

The main reason was that he didn't want to miss the opportunity to work for Miss Su.

Both parties were very satisfied with the peach transaction.

Feng Yuanxi held the peaches and inhaled their fragrance deeply.

Brother Yuan held the eight thousand taels of silver notes, looking completely stunned.

If it weren't for Gu Ji, his family would have had trouble even eating. They probably wouldn't have been able to save a hundred taels even if they worked hard from dawn till dusk their whole lives.

But now he suddenly has eight thousand taels of silver.

Hu Pingfan gave up his life savings to follow Miss Su, and then he became rich.

He got a job working for Miss Su through Hu Pingfan's connections, and ended up making a fortune.

Following Miss Su is indeed a promising path.

When some of his brothers from the northern frontier came to Beijing to visit relatives last time, they criticized him and Hu Pingfan for neglecting their duties by following women around.

If those brothers knew about the eight thousand taels, they would definitely flock to Miss Su's side.

After thinking for a long time, Brother Yuan realized that eight thousand taels of silver could buy a small house near Gu's place, so his wife and children would no longer have to live in the dangerous slums in the south of the city.
