Chapter 489 Warning
He picked up a teacup on the table and threw it towards the second floor.
When the first one missed, he threw the second one, and then the third one. The white cat was very agile, and it dodged the cups with just a slight movement.
Seeing that the people below had stopped attacking, he sneered mockingly, with a look of contempt.
This caused another burst of laughter in the hall.
Li Yanlin was so angry that his face turned red. The ridicule from the people around him filled his eardrums. He couldn't help but pick up the teapot on the table and was about to throw it up, but was held back by the person next to him.
Wan Shiyao held Li Yanlin's arm tightly, his eyes full of disapproval.
"Brother Li, this cat's fur is soft and clean, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary wild cat. Moreover, this is the largest restaurant in the capital. The boss doesn't care about such a commotion here. I'm sure the owner behind it must be of high status."
Wan Shiyao's words did not persuade Li Yanlin, but instead made him even more angry.
He suddenly threw Wan Shiyao aside and said, "So what? This beast was the one who started the trouble. Even if I kill it, I am still right."
Wan Shiyao staggered twice and was supported by the person next to him. He advised, "Brother Wan, why bother? Even if that beast has an owner, so what? Our brother Li is not without a backer."
After hearing this, Wan Shiyao's eyes darkened, he stepped aside and said nothing more.
Li Yanlin had already thrown the teapot out. As the teapot was much heavier than the cup and Li Yanlin was not a strong man, the teapot was not thrown in front of the white cat, but fell on the stairs with a crash.
Originally everyone was watching the fun and paying attention to Li Yanlin's actions. This crisp sound made the whole hall quiet down.
The tea mixed with broken porcelain pieces fell all over the floor, and next to it, the emerald green skirt was splashed with a lot of broken porcelain slag.
Following the hem of the skirt, there is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green short jacket and a turquoise long skirt. She has a rabbit fur scarf around her neck and a veil so her face cannot be seen. She looks gentle, fresh and refined.
No one saw when the girl was here, but she was affected anyway, and it depended on how Li Yanlin handled it.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yanlin. Li Yanlin was also confused by the sudden appearance of the person and did not react for a while.
When I came to my senses, the girl had already reached the second floor. She seemed to be going up, not down.
Li Yanlin swallowed his saliva. Although he didn't mean it, the many books he had read told him that he should apologize.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw the girl gently holding the white cat in her arms, stroking its fur lovingly. The white cat also lay in the girl's arms with a comfortable look on its face, letting the girl do whatever she wanted.
Seeing this scene, Li Yanlin's words of apology instantly changed direction and he started asking questions.
"Is this beast yours?"
Chunhua frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with Li Yanlin's words. But she just glanced at him, turned around and left with the white cat in her arms.
Li Yanlin couldn't stand it anymore. It would have been fine if his words were ignored, but he actually wanted to leave. He turned around and ran upstairs.
But he was stopped only halfway through. Two guards, one on the left and one on the right, holding long swords, stopped him on the spot.
Although there was no expression on her face, no emotion in her eyes, and she was just looking at him quietly, Li Yanlin already felt a chill down his spine and could not help but take two steps back.
Looking at the faces of those people below who were about to laugh, Li Yanlin felt unwilling to accept it. When he thought of his backer, he raised his fighting spirit again.
He shouted at Chunhua who was on the second floor and had not yet entered the private room: "As expected, the owner resembles the beast you raise. It didn't even say an apology after hurting someone. It's no better than the prostitutes in Yanliu Lane."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out and, with a bang, crashed onto the first floor where he had just been, breaking the tables, chairs and benches all over the floor.
The people around also moved away and let out a cry of surprise.
Li Yanlin felt pain all over his internal organs, a sweet and fishy smell spread in his mouth, and it was difficult for him to even breathe in his chest.
He struggled to sit up, using all his strength, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
The two guards who had kicked him down were the ones who had stopped him just now. Now they were standing in front of him with serious faces, looking at him as if he were looking at a corpse.
Chunhua also stopped and did not continue to enter the private room, but waited aside.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and a water-blue figure walked out.
The finest satin sparkled in the light. There was a jade buckle around the waist, decorated with bells. Every step she took would make a slight sound, which seemed to soothe her heart.
There was a red flower ornament painted on her forehead and her head was covered with pearls and jade that looked very valuable. Although she was wearing a veil, one could tell at a glance that she was noble and aloof.
Seeing Qingyun coming out, Chunhua lowered her head slightly and said, "Miss."
Qingyun glanced at Chunhua's skirt, reached out to take the snowball and stroked it gently.
Anyone with eyes could tell who the white cat belonged to. They could also tell that the woman was not a simple person, but some people were blind.
Li Yanlin was now filled with rage, and he cursed at Qingyun, "Bitch, so this beast is yours? Well, you let someone beat me up. Do you know who I am?"
Qingyun raised her eyebrows and walked down with the snowball in her arms, her movements gentle and slow, with Chunhua Qiuyue following behind her.
"Who... are you?" She seemed to think about it seriously, causing people around her to want to laugh but not dare to.
Li Yanlin's face turned red, both because of shame and anger, but when she thought of that person's instructions, she could only say: "I am here to take the imperial examination. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are a daughter of an official. The Dali Temple will not let you go."
Hearing his high-sounding words, Qingyun burst out laughing, but she had already walked in front of him.
The smile on his face just now disappeared in an instant, and his sharp eyes swept straight at him, as if turning into substance and torturing the man in front of him.
Li Yanlin was scared. He was scared at the mere sight of her.
Qingyun quickly retracted her gaze and walked out. Others consciously made way for her.
All I heard was an irresistible voice saying: "Li Yanlin, a student from Qianzhou, made irresponsible remarks about the royal family and humiliated the eldest princess. He shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane as a light punishment and a severe warning."
After he finished speaking, the man had already walked out of the reception building. Only the owner of the reception building was still standing at the door, with an attitude of seeing him off respectfully.
Soon, the people from the Dali Temple took Li Yanlin away.
The people around sighed, some were scared, and some were laughing at the joke.
But smart people know that the most important crime Qing Yun was convicted of was probably the one that slandered the royal family.
The smart ones kept their mouths shut, and the stupid ones no longer dared to discuss it openly.
In fact, when the two guards came out, someone saw the badges on their waists, which showed that they were guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they just turned a blind eye as it had nothing to do with them.
