Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The middle-aged man widened his eyes, looking at Gu Lingqiao: "Miss Gu really has a poor memory. We just met last night, and today you’ve forgotten. Or perhaps Miss Gu wants to default on debt and pretend not to know someone lowly like me."

Last night, this Miss Gu went to his restaurant and ordered a whole table full of dishes, all delicacies from the mountains. The shopkeeper originally thought he had a big client, but who knew, after the young lady finished eating, she had no money to pay the bill and arrogantly claimed she was from the War Prince’s Mansion.

The middle-aged man’s reminder finally made Gu Lingqiao recall who this man was. It turned out to be the shopkeeper of the tavern; no wonder he seemed a bit familiar.

Gu Lingqiao: "What’s the matter? Owe you a little money, and you chase up to the door?"

Shopkeeper: "This money may be small to the young lady, but it’s extremely important to someone like me. Perhaps without it, our restaurant might even go bankrupt."

Is it that serious?

Gu Lingqiao expressed disbelief.

Long Rui asked, "Shopkeeper, how much in total did she eat?"

The shopkeeper respectfully replied, "In response to the Prince, Miss Gu spent a total of one thousand five hundred taels of silver in our shop."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Gu Lingqiao called out: "How is this possible? How could I possibly have eaten that much silver? Oh, you shopkeeper, you’re extorting money from the War Prince’s Mansion. Brother Rui, quickly arrest this unruly person."

With Gu Lingqiao shouting like this, the shopkeeper was truly frightened, his face instantly turning pale. He didn’t want to chase debts either, but this Miss Gu ate too much; she specifically ordered the most expensive ingredients in their restaurant. If he didn’t chase the debt, he’d suffer a loss.

The shopkeeper, lacking some confidence, said: "Miss Gu, you can’t speak against your conscience. Last night, the ingredients you ordered were all the most expensive, and they are indeed worth this price."

Gu Lingqiao completely ignored him, clinging to Long Rui’s arm and acting spoiled: "Brother Rui, this unruly person is too hateful, what do you think should be his punishment?"

Long Rui gave a thin, cold smile: "What’s the matter? You ate without paying, and now you want to arrest him?"

Gu Lingqiao coquettishly said: ":Look at Lingling, she’s so small, how could she eat that much money? I don’t care, he’s definitely slandering Lingling, Brother Rui, you have to punish him for me."

Long Rui reached out and rubbed his temples, then turned to the steward and said: "Steward, go to the accounting room and bring one thousand five hundred taels of silver to the shopkeeper."

The steward shot a fierce glance at Gu Lingqiao, bowed his head, and replied: "Yes."

The shopkeeper left satisfied with the silver.

Fortunately, the Prince was reasonable, unlike this Miss Gu who was completely unreasonable. Clearly, she ate so much silver but claimed she hadn’t. As the saying goes, only women and petty people are hard to deal with.

The steward escorted the shopkeeper out, leaving only Long Rui and Gu Lingqiao in the hall.

Long Rui glanced at Gu Lingqiao and lightly asked: "Lingling, I heard you don’t like the food in the mansion?"

Sure enough, that damned steward still reported to the Prince about her not liking duck heads.

"Brother Rui, it’s not my fault, blame that damned management."

"What’s wrong with the steward?"

"Lingling has liked eating duck heads since she was young. Brother Rui knows that."

"Hmm."

"But that damned steward, I don’t know if he’s intentionally making things difficult for Lingling, boils the duck heads so terribly. Sometimes they’re even undercooked. Brother Rui, imagine, would Lingling dare to eat bloody duck heads?"
