Chapter 231: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 28
Although it was not yet time for dinner, people had already started coming into the noodle shop one after another, and those who had heard about it started laughing.
The young men who came with the dandy young man also felt a little embarrassed when they saw this. They originally thought that Chen Bin was the future male owner of this noodle restaurant, so they followed him along because they more or less knew that there were several big shots who often came to this noodle restaurant to dine, and they were far beyond their reach.
Who knew it would turn out like this.
Several people looked at each other and planned to leave quietly.
"Chen Bin, forget it!"
"Chen Bin, I, I have something else to do, I'll leave first---"
Chen Bin couldn't stop his friend, but he couldn't swallow this anger. He stood in front of Shen Guli with his neck stiffened and glared at her with helpless and furious eyes.
"Dear guest, if you don't want to get into trouble, I advise you to pay for your table first."
Chen Bin: ----
Seeing that everyone around was watching him, Chen Bin held his breath and whispered to Shen Guli, "My cousin is Aunt Xuan from your house. Your father has agreed to marry you to me. If you apologize to me now and sell off the two worthless servants behind you, I will pretend that nothing happened and I can still marry you as my wife in the Chen family----"
Grape was close by, and when she heard him mention Aunt Xuan, her expression changed immediately, and she subconsciously tightened her hand that was supporting Shen Guli.
Shen Guli patted Grape's hand, ignored Chen Bin's words, and looked towards the door.
Commander Zhu, wearing light armor and holding a sword, strode into the hallway, followed by the waiter who had just run out to report to the police.
"Who is causing trouble here?"
Commander Zhu's loud shout frightened Chen Bin so much that he shivered, shrank his neck, and slowly turned his head to look.
Before he could see the person's face clearly, he heard Shen Guli's voice from behind him: "Commander Zhu, you're here!"
As the owner of the noodle shop, Lin Shu also stood up this time. Without the need for his young lady to speak, he told the whole story of Chen Bin and his men wanting to eat Overlord Noodles in a few words.
Before Chen Bin could think of what to say, Commander Zhu had already stood in front of Chen Bin with one hand on the hilt of his sword. "How could there be such a person eating and drinking in broad daylight? Is it because our city's defense patrols are lax? Come with me!"
Chen Bin, whose arrogance had long gone, was now like a chick being stared at by a tiger, with a face full of fear and not daring to move.
"No, no, I was just joking with my fiancée. No, I didn't expect her to take it seriously!"
Grape was angry again, "You are talking nonsense! Our lady hasn't even proposed marriage yet, and you dare to ruin her reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhu glared and said succinctly, "Your crime is even more serious!"
Chen Bin's knees suddenly weakened. He turned back to Shen Guli for help, "Mrs. Shen, your father is really proposing marriage to my family. We will soon----"
"Shut his mouth!" Shen Guli looked at Lin Shu, who quickly pulled the tablecloth in his hand and stuffed it into Chen Bin's mouth.
"Mmmmm-----"
Shen Guli bowed to Commander Zhu and said, "Thank you, Commander Zhu!"
Commander Zhu waved his hand and said, "It's my job!" With that, the soldiers following behind him stepped forward and escorted Chen Bin out.
"Boss Shen, if you have any questions, come to me, or find my men. I have told them to patrol this street more often."
"Thank you, Commander Zhu!"
"Boss Shen, you don't have to be polite. Since you are Xie Rong's benefactor, I should naturally take care of him. But the marriage that boy just mentioned doesn't sound like something he said nonsense to me."
"I don't know much about this matter. I will go home soon and take care of everything."
After seeing off Commander Zhu, Shen Guli returned to the back hall. "Lin Shu, have someone go to the restaurant in Yongkangfang to call Yingtao back. Tell her to go home and pack her luggage. We need to go back right away. Grape, grind the ink. I need to write a letter."
Lin Shu asked someone to run errands and came back with Shen Guli's letter finished.
He blew the ink dry, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Lin Shu, "Send this letter and the box to the Seventh Prince's residence. Remember, you must hand it to the prince personally!"
"Okay." Lin Shu picked up the box and said, "Miss, is there something wrong? I'll go back with you guys so that I can take care of you on the way!"
Shen Guli originally planned to take Lin Shu back with her, but she was worried that someone would come to her shop to cause trouble. "I can rest assured that Cherry or Grape will stay, as long as you stay. In addition to taking care of the noodle shop, you also have to keep an eye on the restaurant!"
Lin Shu hugged the box tightly and nodded.
"I asked you to train some people as soon as possible, so they can be used now!" Shen Guli said with a smile, "Don't worry about me, I've brought Cherry and Grape with me."
They have only been in the capital for a few months and their foundation is too shallow. This time when they go back, Shen Guli will pick out more people to bring with her so that Yingtao Linshu and the others can train them well.
After Yingtao packed up her things and came over, Shen Guli got on the carriage and hurried to Lin's farm.
On the other side, probably because the Seventh Prince had told the gatekeeper about this, Lin Shu nervously reported his identity. When the gatekeeper heard that someone from Guxiang Noodle House on West Street wanted to see him, he immediately sent someone in to report without saying a word.
Lin Shu was soon led into the palace.
Li Xuanzhi, who was about to go out, met him in a pavilion in the front garden.
"Did your young lady ask someone to make this?" Li Xuanzhi picked up a glass cup and looked at it carefully. He then held it against the bright sunlight, which reflected colorful spots of light. It was very beautiful!
Through the clear glass lamp, Li Xuanzhi seemed to see Shen Guli's face. Under the mask of calmness that did not match her age was a smart and courageous heart!
"Your young lady is full of surprises!"
Li Xuanzhi put down the teacup in his hand and opened the envelope. He read three lines at a glance and finished reading in a few breaths.
"Heh!" Li Xuanzhi curled his lips and smiled, looked up and asked Lin Shu, "Where is your young lady?" Why didn't she come by herself?
"The young lady has something urgent to do. I think she's on her way back to Yonghe Mansion now!"
"What's the urgent matter?" He pointed at the stone table and called a guard in a deep voice, "Ask four people to catch up with Miss Shen on horseback and protect her safety along the way."
The prince has his own guards, each with twelve men. The prince sent four of them to protect a woman. The captain of the guard was a little hesitant, "Are we going to let them come back after escorting them to their destination?"
Li Xuanzhi thought for a moment and said, "When we get there, we'll just follow Miss Shen's arrangements. If Miss Shen doesn't want to be bothered, let them hide their identities as palace guards and only serve as Miss Shen's guards. Everything should be done to protect Miss Shen's safety!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard took the order and left.
Li Xuanzhi then picked up the glass again and began to admire it again, "Manager Lin, you can go back. I'll take the things."
After Lin Shu left, Li Xuanzhi's eyes fell on the letter paper again.
