Chapter 270: Chapter 268: Shopping and Resting, Enemies on a Narrow Road
The grey sky outside seemed to indicate that snow was coming, reflecting the mood of everyone at the moment.
“What a broken pavilion! Favouring the rich and despising the poor! I won’t come to this Silver Pavilion again.” Guihua was obviously angry.
“Alright, let’s not complain.”
Di Yelei said somberly, his brows furrowed, “If the shopkeeper and that maid were telling the truth, and she really is Prince Luo’s Prefecture Princess Thirteenth Luo, offending a Prefecture Princess is a capital offense. Our being able to leave the Silver Pavilion unharmed is really a lucky escape.” Everyone gasped.
“Is it really a capital offense? Is…this a joke?”
Liu Sisi found it hard to accept: “It was just an accidental collision with her, and yet it’s a matter of life and death. Is there any law in this world?”
Di Yelei sneered, “Law? Who made the laws? So, naturally, the laws are biased.”
“Hush! Don’t talk about it! Let’s go, don’t block the entrance and affect others.” Zhang Peng urged the others.
This was not something that could be spoken lightly!
They were right at the main entrance of the Silver Pavilion, and their presence was indeed obstructing.
The incident just now had dampened everyone’s spirits.
They went to another Silver Pavilion and picked a few silver ornaments randomly, then went to a garment shop to buy suitable red cloth and other fabrics. Everyone looked like they were wilted eggplants, listless and dispirited.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Sisi looked up at a nearby wine-house and suggested.
“It’s getting late, and the weather is getting colder. How about we go to the wine-house for some food before heading back?”
Liu Sisi’s suggestion naturally received unanimous approval from everyone.
“Indeed, especially these three children, who have been complaining about being hungry. Let’s go!”
The group then headed towards the wine-house.
At the moment, it was noontime, and the first-floor hall was packed with people.
A sharp-eyed waiter quickly came up: “There are seats on the second floor. Please, upstairs!”
Following the waiter’s loud announcement, the group went upstairs behind him and found an empty table in a corner to sit down.
Since they were all familiar with each other, there was no need for formality. They casually ordered a few simple dishes, and when the food arrived, everyone started eating. For a while, the sound of clinking plates and utensils filled the air.
Zhang Peng put down his bowl after he was full, and said with satisfaction, “The big wine-house in the county is indeed extraordinary, even the ordinary dishes taste different.”
His jest did not garner agreement from the others. Most of them were silently swallowing their food, without anyone talking.
“What’s going on? Why did everyone suddenly stop talking?” Zhang Peng asked curiously.
“What to say? There’s nothing good to say. Everyone’s eating. Eat, let’s talk after we’re full!” Di Yelei urged everyone from the side.
Liu Sisi took the opportunity to raise her head and look at everyone, then quietly continued eating.
In fact, she understood what everyone was thinking at the moment. Perhaps, they were still worried that the Prefecture Princess would take revenge?
