Chapter 237 Trouble Comes Knocking” (2/2)
……
Back over at the main reception hall, a group of people was currently whispering and arguing away. It’s pretty obvious they were angry and disgruntled here, which only got worse and amplified once Bai Yan arrives at the scene.
“Miss Bai Yan, I like to know what sort of fault my granddaughter did that your people had to go make trouble for her.”
“And my poor daughter, she’s already at the point where she can’t get out of the bed! You must give us a proper explanation for this!”
“That’s right. You may be the owner of the Flower Brothel, but that doesn’t excuse you from randomly assaulting others! If we don’t get a proper answer then things won’t end here!”
Ignoring the rowdy comments shooting her way, Bai Yan first took her seat at the main master chair before speaking out using that indifferent tune of hers: “It sure is lively today to have all of you come find me this morning.”
Though her words didn’t carry with it a single threatening phrase, but that aura and fierce might was more than enough to intimidate everyone present.
So this is the Mistress of the Flower Brothel, Lord Cang’s woman! Are we really able to retreat after coming here?
“Miss Bai Yan.”
From within the crowd, a middle-aged man was the first to step forward: “Others may be afraid of you, but I Zhang Fei Yang am not! You may be the owner of the Flower Brothel, but that doesn’t give you the right to condone your subordinates in attacking innocent bystander. I believe I speak for everyone here today that unless we get a proper answer, none of us will stand idly by!”
Unmoved by the threat, Bai Yan’s composure remains lazy and comfortable on that chair: “And what sort of answer are you expecting of me?”
“Your people beat my daughter so at the very least some compensation should be in order. Some Dan pill will be enough.”
How can they not extort such fine stuff from the woman? It’s no secret among the nobility that the pills in Bai Xiao’s possession are all from Bai Yan, making this the perfect opportunity. Especially when they are in the right, right…..?
