Just then, Ba Liang exclaimed in shock, "Oh dear, half a jin! What... what's going on? Why are Second Master and Young Master He fighting?"
Upon hearing this, Ban Jin was extremely anxious. He immediately rushed over, shoved Ba Liang, and shouted at him impatiently:
"You idiot, what are you yelling about! Hurry up and separate them, are you really going to just stand by and watch our master get beaten up?"
"Oh, right, right! Pull it open, pull it open..."
As if waking from a dream, Ba Liang quickly turned around and shouted loudly to the two restaurant waiters standing behind him, "Quickly, you two hurry up and pull Second Master and Young Master He apart! Be quick about it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two men finally came to their senses and rushed forward like a swarm of bees to break up the fight. One of them, while running, kept muttering:
"Second Master, you and Young Master He have been good brothers for so many years. Can't you talk things out properly? Please don't resort to violence... Ouch!"
"what!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly punched right in the face, making him wince in pain.
Meanwhile, Ba Liang was even more unlucky. He was hit in the eye by a flying punch for no reason, and his eyes instantly filled with tears. He covered his eyes and squatted on the ground.
He cried so hard he was heartbroken, muttering, "What did I do to deserve this? Waaaaah..."
Seeing this, Half-Jin glared fiercely at Eight-Liang, thinking, "This idiot!" He cursed angrily.
"I asked you to mediate their fight, but instead you just spout useless nonsense! Look at the two of them fighting so fiercely, they're evenly matched. Do you think they'll listen to your advice?"
"Hurry up and call a few more people up to forcibly separate them!"
"Oh, right, right, right!" He didn't even care about the pain in his eyes and immediately ran out.
After a while, two more people rushed up from downstairs. Without saying a word, the group immediately took action, working together to forcibly separate the two people who were tightly embracing and reluctant to part.
The two seemed to be engrossed in their own world of fighting, completely oblivious to the actions of others, until they were forcibly separated, at which point they came to their senses.
Meanwhile, outside the private room, a large group of guests, eager for a good show, had gathered.
They all craned their necks, widened their eyes, and stared intently at Shen Xiujin and He Wenxuan, their faces displaying typical gossipy expressions.
Their gazes met from time to time, as if they were conveying some unspeakable secret with their eyes.
Just then, someone in the crowd who thought he knew the inside story lowered his voice and muttered quietly:
"Did you know? I've heard some rumors about this. I heard that Shen Xiujin actually fell in love with someone else, abandoned his original lover, and started dating another woman."
As for He Wenxuan, he came specifically to seek justice for his beloved woman who had been wronged, and that's how the two of them ended up fighting!
Before the words were even finished, a chorus of gasps of amazement erupted from the surrounding crowd. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Wow...really? Is it just a made-up story?"
Another person quickly chimed in, "Of course it's true! There were several people there just now, and everyone clearly heard their heated argument!"
I bet their affair is already all over the place by now! Tsk tsk tsk, they really fought pretty hard, hehehehe…”
Then someone else chimed in, "Hey, something's not right! I don't think Shen Xiujin is the kind of man who would start something and then abandon it!"
Wasn't he just getting along famously with Miss Zhou from the General's mansion a few days ago? How come another woman has suddenly appeared who's made him change his mind?
"Hehehe, I don't know either? Let's just sit back and wait for the juicy gossip!"
Just as everyone was discussing this, a waiter suddenly seemed to remember something, exclaimed "Oh!" to the person next to him, and then lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously:
"Hey, hey, do you remember Su Qianqian, who used to help out at our restaurant as a handyman...?"
These words immediately piqued the interest of those around, who pricked up their ears. Another waiter nearby quickly chimed in, responding like a straight man in a comedy duo:
"Oh, of course I remember! Isn't she that audacious woman who dared to throw a meat pie directly at Master Shen, burning his hand in the process? I was the one who went to fetch the doctor for him back then!"
The waiter nodded repeatedly, then began to recount the story vividly: "That's right, that's her! It seems that young master came here specifically for her, saying that he and the second master did... you know..."
"Really or falsely?"
"Why would I lie to you? I don't have any money. I'll tell you a secret, but you can't tell anyone!" the waiter said, rolling his eyes.
The young waiter patted his chest and assured him, "Hey! Don't you know me? I'm very tight-lipped, I definitely won't tell anyone! What do you know? Just tell me already, don't keep me in suspense."
The others also pricked up their ears, eavesdropping on Er's words, and kept nodding in agreement. Yes, their mouths were sealed shut too. You'd better hurry up and tell us, they're all listening!
The waiter then lowered his voice and said, "What's the rush? Do you know that Second Master's coachman isn't my fellow villager Wang Ergou? I only heard about it from him."
This Su Qianqian used to always try to "accidentally" bump into our Second Master. Once, she even recklessly charged straight at his carriage, just to deliberately "crash" him!
At this point, the waiter's face showed a lingering fear as he continued, "Er Gou also told me that this woman is quite strange! Even someone as powerful as Second Master is terrified of her."
Er Gouzi specifically told me that if I ever saw her on the street, I should stay far away and not fall into her trap…
And so the waiter went on and on, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded and astonished.
The young waiter couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, is this true or false? If it's really as you say, then this woman is truly strange!"
"That's right! Otherwise, why would Er Gou have taken the initiative to remind me? And Er Gou also told me that he's almost driven to the brink of heartbreak by that Su Qianqian."
Every time he rushed to catch the carriage, he was on tenterhooks, afraid that if he cracked the whip even a little too hard, that blind, crazy woman, Su Qianqian, would recklessly ram into the carriage. Tell me, who wouldn't be terrified in that situation?
"Oh my, look at Er Gou, the coachman from your village. He's really quite dedicated."
They didn't even run over and kill that crazy woman. But then again, if they had, the trouble would have been much bigger.
"Hey! Tell me, could it be that Second Master was driven to desperation by this crazy woman, which is why he turned to General Zhou's daughter and sought her affection?"
After all, the Second Master has always been single, and he has never been interested in any woman over the years.
But suddenly, he fell in love with that Miss Zhou. Tell me, if it weren't for the shock of that crazy woman, Su Qianqian, how could Second Master have undergone such a drastic change?
Just then, the shopkeeper came running towards them, his face covered in sweat, muttering something as he ran.
He had just returned from an outing and was looking forward to resting for a while, but he didn't expect to hear that something had happened upstairs! This startled him so much that he staggered and rushed upstairs in a panic.
As luck would have it, he had just run upstairs and hadn't even gotten his footing when he overheard the two waiters talking.
Upon hearing that voice, the shopkeeper was instantly enraged, leaning back so hard he nearly fell to the ground.
He cursed inwardly: "Oh dear, these two little brats! If the Second Master hears them say that, I'm afraid I'll lose my position as manager!"
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in anger, and he sternly rebuked the two young waiters:
"You two little brats, instead of working properly, you dare to slack off and watch the fun! Get downstairs and get to work right now, or don't blame me for deducting all your wages for this month!"
When the two men heard that the shopkeeper was going to deduct their wages, they turned pale with fright and trembled all over.
They were secretly cursing their luck. They had thought that they could sneak into the crowd and watch the excitement while the shopkeeper was away, but who would have thought that the shopkeeper would suddenly come back and catch them red-handed!
At that moment, the two looked at each other and saw fear and frustration in each other's eyes. They both thought to themselves, "Oh no, this is bad." Then, they took off running downstairs.
Watching the two flee in disarray, the shopkeeper was still furious, muttering curses under his breath.
However, when he turned around to face the crowd of onlookers outside the private room, his expression changed drastically in an instant, transforming into a smiling and amiable one.
He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed repeatedly to the people around him, smiling obsequiously as he spoke…
"I apologize to all guests for disturbing your meal. As an apology, I hereby announce that all diners today will receive a 20% discount per table. Alright, let's all leave now..."
However, some people still didn't buy it and continued to stand aside openly, watching the show. The shopkeeper was at a loss, since they were all big shots and he didn't dare to offend any of them.
So he secretly hid to the side and started watching the drama unfold! Well, this shopkeeper's motto is: if you can't get rid of me, I'll join you!
