The child pulled Xie Yinxiang to the side. “If you want to buy pastries, just let me know. I’ll get someone to send them to the Xie Manor for you to try.”
Xie Yinxiang shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m here for the lantern.
Last time, I left a message on it to see, so I want to see if it had been taken by someone fated.’
When Old Jiang came over, Xie Yinxiang handed over the token with three words engraved on it.
“A, C, D, lantern.” Old Jiang read it out loud and looked up to look for the lantern.
In order to distinguish each lantern from the other, there were a total of ten levels on the sturdy mahogany shelves. They were respectively named after the ten Heavenly Stems ordinals.
A, C, D, meant that the lantern was on the first row, third shelves, and was the fourth lantern.
Old Jiang looked around and then took down Xie Yinxiang’s lantern.
Gu Nuo’er leaned over and saw that there was indeed another person who had left a string of small words on Xie Yinxiang’s lantern.
Xie Yinxiang looked at the words “love can save” to match her words “floating duckweeds have no reliance”.
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
Who was this person? His tone was really arrogant and frivolous.
Could a woman with no one to rely on for support be able to resolve her difficulties just by finding someone to love?
If the person she found wasn’t a good person, it’d be a horrible life.
Xie Yinxiang couldn’t help but think of her deceased mother.
Moreover, the current Xie Yinxiang had already become the only daughter in the Xie Manor through her hard work and also receiving help from Gu Nuo’er.
Gu Nuo’er blinked and saw Xie Yinxiang raise her brush to leave a few more words.
The child was focused on watching Xie Yinxiang write.
Suddenly, she heard a man shout, “Pfft! What is this taste?! It’s too salty!”
Gu Nuo’er turned around and saw a young master in long clothes. He was originally sitting at the table and enjoying sugar cakes. After taking a bite, he suddenly spat it out.
The surrounding customers turned and looked at him, puzzled.
The child blinked her big watery eyes.
Did someone come to look for trouble again?
Auntie Qu was introducing the types of sugar cakes to other guests today.
When she heard this, she hurriedly walked to the noble young master’s side.
“Sir, is the sugar cake not to your liking?”
The man angrily handed the plate to Auntie Qu. “Try it yourself. What kind of strange taste is this? I’ve bought it many times at your shop, but it suddenly tastes so bad today! I’ve been queuing for an hour. You guys are too disappointing!”
Auntie Qu quickly took it and tasted it where the man didn’t bite.
She immediately frowned.
When Gu Nuo’er saw this, she knew that this man wasn’t here to look for trouble.
There was really something wrong with the pastry.
Auntie Qu asked, “Customer, I apologize. Shall I return your money?”
The man was unyielding. “Just return my money? I had queued for so long. You guys wasted my time!”
A soft voice interrupted, “Then how about we compensate you three times the amount?”
The man looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl who looked pretty, fair, and tender.
He knew that this was the princess’s shop and vaguely guessed that this might be Princess Yaoguang.
He pursed his lips. He originally didn’t want to let things go just like that.
However, if he offended the princess, he wouldn’t have a good ending either.
He said angrily, “Alright, there’s no other way out!!”
Gu Nuo’er said decisively, “Elder Sister Chudie, settle the bill for him. Refund him three times the money he paid.”
The child then gave out instructions in an orderly manner. “Anyone else who bought similar sweet cakes will also receive a compensation of three times the amount paid.”
If there was a problem with one pastry, it meant that there was something wrong with the batch of pastries..
