However, Father Xu didn't believe it. Xu Yutang had been staying in the attic since childhood and had few friends. She had only been in the capital for a few days. Where could she have met someone of noble status?
Everyone in the capital knew that Zuiyin Tower had a powerful backer, but Father Xu was not familiar with the capital and didn't know about this.
In his eyes, Zuiyin Tower was just a bigger restaurant and would definitely not dare to provoke the Xu family.
So Father Xu sneered, "You little brat, I think you're just spouting nonsense. So what if the emperor knows about this?"
"I'm Xu Yutang's father. I gave birth to her and raised her. If she disobeys discipline and leaves home without permission, as a father, it would be truly harmful to her if I let her go!"
These words sounded high - minded and won the approval of many people.
The Dragon King: [Judging from this situation, they're determined to take Xu Yutang back, aren't they?]
Lin Yu: [This whole family is rotten to the core!]
The Dragon King: [Little cutie, there are still three days until a full month. Do you want a gift from me in advance?]
Shen Baozhu was afraid that Father Xu would just drag Xu Yutang out. She just took a casual glance and then continued to stare at Father Xu.
The Dragon King: [It's a fruit that can increase strength. It can let Xu Yutang punch someone to vent her anger with her own hands.]
Upon learning what the gift was, Shen Baozhu immediately became happy. "Yes! Thank you, Dragon King!"
In the blink of an eye, there were two small black fruits in Shen Baozhu's hand. They were even smaller than a fingernail and looked bitter.
But Shen Baozhu didn't hesitate and ate one directly. To her surprise, the fruit was not bitter at all. Instead, it had a faint sweet taste.
Since the incident with the Earth - Shrinking Fruit last time, the Dragon King had been warning in the orchard every few days. Now, although not every fruit in the orchard was delicious, they were all edible and would never have a situation like last time.
After Shen Baozhu ate the fruit, there was no reaction at first, but she trusted the effect of the Dragon King's fruit very much. So she rushed towards Father Xu.
When Father Xu saw Shen Baozhu rushing towards him, he frowned tightly.
Xu Yutang always caused him trouble. He didn't know where this little girl came from. If she got hurt, the Xu family might be blamed.
But before Father Xu could dodge, he was knocked flying by Shen Baozhu's head.
"Ouch!"
All the people who witnessed this scene gasped in unison. The groom who was dragging Xu Yutang also took a few steps back to keep a distance from Shen Baozhu.
Lin Yu: [Baozhu has become a strongman.]
Lin Yu: [If Yutang wants to beat Father Xu, it's better to do it at the Xu family. Filial piety was quite important in ancient times.]
Lin Yu: [Even if the Xu family was wrong first, if Yutang beats her father in public, people will still talk about it.]
The Qingyun Real Man: [Go to the Xu family to beat him.]
With Lin Yu and the Qingyun Real Man's reminders, Shen Baozhu understood what to do.
She first rushed to the groom's side, fed the fruit to Xu Yutang, and then, under everyone's shocked gazes, dragged Father Xu outside. "Sister Yutang, Baozhu heard everything. Your father is talking nonsense. You've been living at Baozhu's house all along. You didn't elope with any disciple."
"Your father must have misunderstood. Baozhu will go home with you to explain."
The Dragon King: [That's right, that's right. Go home and explain to them with your fists!]
As a dragon who often communicated with fists, the Dragon King highly recommended this method. As long as the fists were strong enough, communication would be smooth.
Xu Yutang was being dragged by the groom. Even though she had already sent a message to the waiter, she still felt extremely desperate.
She could feel that everyone in the hall was looking at her. Those looks were full of contempt and ridicule... And she was being dragged on the ground like a brute.
Even though she felt humiliated, Xu Yutang didn't want to obediently stand up and follow Father Xu.
Hearing Shen Baozhu's words, Xu Yutang felt sorry in her heart. Baozhu was still young and didn't understand the danger of human nature. The Xu family didn't care about her at all. There was no such thing as a misunderstanding. In the eyes of the Xu family, she was just so despicable.
When Xu Yutang heard that Shen Baozhu wanted to go home with her to explain, she was shocked. No, she couldn't let Baozhu get into danger too!
Xu Yutang struggled subconsciously, and then there was a loud noise "Bang"!
Shen Baozhu's excited voice came from her ear. "Wow, be gentle, Sister Yutang. The bad guy has been knocked to the ground."
Xu Yutang looked up in confusion and saw the groom who had been controlling her lying on the ground. He seemed to be seriously injured.
The Dragon King: [See, how amazing my fruit is!]
Lin Yu: [Yutang is badly injured. I'll go find some medicine for treating injuries.]
Xu Yutang stood up blankly. She saw Shen Baozhu winking at her. "Baozhu..."
"Sister Yutang, quickly do as I did. Drag this bad guy to your home. We'll explain it clearly to your family." Shen Baozhu's tone was as cheerful as ever.
Urged by Shen Baozhu, Xu Yutang gently grabbed the groom's hair and tugged tentatively. Surprisingly, the groom was really pulled by her.
Xu Yutang looked at it in disbelief and tried again.
Watching the groom move with her action, Xu Yutang was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was filled with joy.
The humiliation just now was swept away. She also imitated Shen Baozhu and dragged the groom outside.
Seeing Shen Baozhu's small body dragging Father Xu, Xu Yutang felt a little heart - ache and took Father Xu over on her own initiative.
Father Xu was knocked flying by Shen Baozhu. He was a little afraid of Shen Baozhu, but when he saw Xu Yutang, he started scolding again. "You unfilial girl! I'm your father. Not only did you befriend a monster, but you also allowed the monster to bully your father. You're an unfilial daughter!"
"Let go of me quickly, or... Ouch!"
Shen Baozhu stepped on Father Xu's foot, successfully making him shut up.
The Dragon King: [Who is the monster referring to? Is it the little cutie? Good, this human has offended me.]
Lin Yu: [Where is it bullying? It's really funny. Just now, they dragged Yutang like this. They didn't care if Yutang's clothes were torn or if there was a bigger hole on the ground. They didn't care if Yutang was in pain.]
Lin Yu: [Now, treating him in the same way is considered bullying?]
The Qingyun Real Man: [Good step.]
Even the good - tempered Lin Yu was angered by Father Xu. [Baozhu, remember to punch him a few more times!]
The Qingyun Real Man: [Don't get involved in karma.]
The Dragon King: [It won't! The effect of the Strength Fruit is very obvious now. By the time they get to the Xu family, the effect will start to wear off. At most, it will just give the Xu family a good beating. There won't be any big problems.]
Shen Baozhu didn't understand the words of the Qingyun Real Man and the Dragon King, but she knew that the effect of the fruit would wear off. So she asked the waiter to go to the palace gate to find the guards and report the news. "Just say that Baozhu has been kidnapped by the Xu family and needs Uncle Emperor to save her!"
Some diners with sharp ears heard this and couldn't help but look at Xu Yutang, who was dragging Father Xu and the groom. Who was kidnapping whom!
Shen Baozhu still remembered Lin Yu. She deliberately stood in the middle of the hall and repeated the words. "Father of Sister Yutang, I didn't bully you. You just dragged Sister Yutang like this. Baozhu was just imitating you."
"If this is considered bullying, it was you who bullied Sister Yutang first."
With Shen Baozhu's innocent words, the whispers accusing Xu Yutang of being unfilial also disappeared.
