Chapter 269 This is a restaurant, not a charity
Even though Han Nian'an wanted to give in, she couldn't resist Yang Manman's attempt to use her as a punching bag. When her scalp was pulled so hard that it hurt, she didn't care about anything else and fought back.
Although it was not dinner time, there were still many customers in Ningxiu Restaurant. With people coming and going on the street and watching, the news soon reached Jiang Suining.
She was not far from Ningxiu Restaurant. When she rushed over, Han Nian'an and Yang Manman were still fighting.
Han Nian'an's hair was disheveled, a lot of her hair was pulled out, her cheeks were red and swollen, and even her dress was torn a lot.
Yang Manman was not much better off. The most striking thing was the three scratches on her neck from fingernails. The skin was torn and blood was oozing out, which was particularly conspicuous.
Although the waiters at Ningxiu Restaurant wanted to mediate the fight, since both of them were women, they couldn't really step forward and could only stand aside and persuade them anxiously.
But obviously, their persuasion did not work.
Jiang Suining pushed through the crowd and said something indifferently as he walked over.
"I have already sent someone to notify the Marquis of Changning's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they will be here soon."
When these words were spoken, both Han Nian'an and Yang Manman were stunned. Then, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Jiang Suining angrily at the same time.
“What right do you have to inform the Prime Minister’s Mansion!” Yang Manman gritted her teeth, “Bitch, you deliberately want people to laugh at me!”
"It's easy to see Miss Yang making fun of herself. After all, this scene is already lively enough." Jiang Suining's expression remained unchanged.
Although she didn't know why Yang Manman and Han Nian'an were fighting, she would not interfere if the two of them went to some other place as long as they didn't cause trouble in her own territory.
"Bitch, you..."
"If I were Miss Yang, I would rather leave quickly than waste time cursing. After all, no matter who comes, it would be embarrassing to let the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion see you in such a state."
Yang Manman's face looked extremely ugly. Feeling the people around her pointing fingers at her, she gritted her teeth, took advantage of Han Nian'an's daze to kick her, and then quickly left.
When passing by Jiang Suining, he did not forget to say something.
"Just wait and see, we are not done with this matter yet!"
Jiang Suining curled his lips and chuckled, not taking the threat seriously at all.
After signaling to the waiters, they immediately dispersed the onlookers and persuaded the guests who were watching the fun to return to their respective seats.
After everyone had dispersed, Jiang Suining looked at Han Nian'an.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Han Nian'an's cheeks were red and swollen, "Did you really send someone to notify the Changning Marquis' Mansion?"
Jiang Suining raised an eyebrow, "No."
She just said it casually and sent Yang Manman away.
Hearing the word "no", Han Nian'an's shoulders sank and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Suining looked at her and asked, "Are you here to see me today?"
Han Nian'an pursed her lips. In fact, she couldn't explain why she came to find Jiang Suining.
She knew that the other party would definitely not help her, but if she continued to stay in the Changning Marquis Mansion, she would really go crazy.
Looking at the entire imperial city, apart from Jiang Suining's territory, she couldn't even think of any other place where she could breathe, even though... when she got here, she would be met with Jiang Suining's contempt and ridicule.
Seeing that Han Nian'an didn't say anything, Jiang Suining smiled lightly.
"Walk slowly, don't send."
"Don't!"
Seeing Jiang Suining chasing people away, Han Nian'an bit her lip and spoke hesitantly.
"I, I really have nowhere to go. Can you take me in for a while, or even let me sit in this Ningxiu Pavilion for a while?"
Hearing Han Nian'an's submissive and pleading tone, and then looking at her embarrassed appearance, Jiang Suining seemed to show an expression of reluctance and sighed.
"Do you have money?"
"What?" Han Nian'an was stunned.
Could it be that Jiang Suining felt pity for her and wanted to give her some money?
Thinking of this, Han Nian'an hurriedly shook his head.
"No, you know, I'm living a miserable life in Changning Marquis's Mansion. I can't even get enough food, let alone money. I can't even take out a penny."
"If that's the case, then..." Jiang Suining frowned, looking at the expectation in Han Nian'an's eyes, and after a slight pause, he changed his tone, "Then why should I keep you."
Han Nian'an suspected that he had heard it wrong and looked at Jiang Suining in confusion.
The latter said slowly: "If you have money, you can come in and order a table of wine and food, even if it's just a pot of tea, I won't chase you away. But you are penniless, this is a restaurant, not a charity, you have come to the wrong place."
Han Nian'an's face darkened, "Jiang Suining, are you really going to be so heartless?"
Jiang Suining tilted his head slightly and looked Han Nian'an up and down.
"It seems that Aunt Han has a bad memory. I have said something very clearly before. There is no affection between you and me, and naturally there is no such thing as ruthlessness."
"Okay, even if there is no love between us, don't you always boast that you are kind-hearted? Even in the summer, you paid for those people to enjoy the cool air for free. Why do you do that now..."
"You don't deserve it." Jiang Suining interrupted Han Nian'an.
"you……"
"Xi'er, go and notify the Changning Marquis' Mansion to pick them up."
"Don't! Can't I just leave?"
Han Nian'an spoke hurriedly.
Jiang Suining looked at her and said, "Also, please don't bother me again in the future. Otherwise... I can't guarantee that I can resist returning all the things you did to me."
Han Nian'an's step trembled as she met Jiang Suining's eyes that didn't seem like a joke at all. She suddenly remembered the time in her previous life when Jiang Suining saved her from the brothel.
Although she felt that there was not much sisterhood between her and Jiang Suining at that time, at least it was Jiang Suining who saved her when she was most desperate.
But now...
If I had known this would happen, I would have kept everything the same as in the last life!
Han Nian'an left Ningxiu Restaurant with legs as if filled with lead. Even though she was reluctant, she finally returned to Changning Marquis Mansion. After all, apart from here, she had nowhere else to go.
He walked into the Marquis' Mansion in a daze, and when he entered the back garden, he happened to meet Liu Yuan and the guests she was entertaining.
Seeing Han Nian'an in a dishevel, Liu Yuan frowned and scolded him.
"How can you be in such a state? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass the Marquisate in front of the guests?"
Han Nian'an glanced at the guest Liu Yuan mentioned. It was a woman of the same age as her. Her surname was Cai. When she went out today, she overheard the maids talking about her. She said that she and Liu Yuan were close friends and they got married a few months ago. It seemed that she married into a family of officials.
Seeing that the other party's clothes and pearl hairpins were very expensive and her complexion was very rosy, Han Ning'an guessed that the other party must be quite favored and lived a very good life.
A feeling of loss and bitterness welled up in my heart, but then it turned into numbness.
Han Nian'an told herself in her heart that no matter how the other person was doing, it had nothing to do with her.
Retracting her gaze and lowering her head, she apologized, "I'm sorry."
"No problem." Cai Qingyun smiled leisurely, "You must be Han Nian'an's Aunt Han, right? It seems like we are destined to be together."
"What kind of fate?" Han Nian'an wondered.
Cai Qingyun kept smiling as he looked at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan said, "I heard that your Han family had been secretly communicating with the Gongsun family before, intending to form a marriage, but you insisted on becoming the prince's concubine, so the matter was dropped. And Ayun is marrying into the Gongsun family."
