Chapter 1808: 888 Brother Complex (Second Update)_2

The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "Royal law? This is the law of our Quyang City!"

Uh... With so much chaos at the border pass, it seems the local laws have indeed been altered.

Shopkeeper: "Arrest him!"

"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Qing extended a hand, gesturing to stop, "I am the Imperial Grandson!"

The shopkeeper pulled out a portrait from behind the counter and unfolded it with a snap: "Do you think I’ve never seen the Imperial Grandson before? Kid! This is the Imperial Grandson!"

Shangguan Qing looked at the ghastly image of a man with distorted features like a skeleton on the portrait, and shuddered!

My goodness!

Has the image of the Imperial Grandson really deteriorated to this extent?

Or is it that these days, a tear mole automatically makes you the Imperial Grandson?

Shangguan Qing seriously pointed out, "This is not the Imperial Grandson!"

The shopkeeper said, "How do you know he’s not?"

Shangguan Qing righteously replied, "Because I am!"

I, your young lord, have been the Imperial Grandson of Dayan for twenty years! Don’t I know better than you what the Imperial Grandson looks like!

Shopkeeper: "You don’t have a teardrop mole on your face, so you’re not!"

Having a teardrop mole doesn’t prove anything, but not having one certainly means you’re not!

This was a classic case of a scholar arguing with soldiers—reason wouldn’t work.

Shangguan Qing was so angry he almost blew his top.

Yet he couldn’t just shoot them with a fire-gun. After all, they’re just doing business; they hadn’t done anything wrong.

As Shangguan Qing was being held down awkwardly, Xiao Hen walked over calmly.

He looked at the scene inside the shop, surprise and delight surfaced on his face: "Brother, you really are here!"

Shangguan Qing turned his head and exclaimed, "You... you... how did you get... out?"

He initially wanted to ask how he got out, but realizing the revealing nature of this question, he quickly changed the last word.

How clever he was.

Xiao Hen said, "Oh, I finished my noodles, so I came to find you."

Shangguan Qing opened his mouth: "Then... did you settle the bill?"

"I did, it was a total of fifty-three taels. Brother, the wine was expensive." Xiao Hen frowned.

Shangguan Qing asked blankly, "Weren’t you without money?"

Xiao Hen’s eyes widened: "Brother, did you forget? You left the money bag with me."

Shangguan Qing: "Huh?"

Xiao Hen: "It was on your bench."

Damn it!

I did leave the money bag on the bench earlier!

So those fifty-three taels were paid with his money?

Shangguan Qing sucked in a sharp breath.

Calm down, calm down, it’s only fifty-three taels.

"Brother, here you go." Xiao Hen returned the money bag to Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing was briefly suspicious that this kid did it on purpose, but looking at Xiao Hen’s innocent deer-like eyes, he felt he might be overthinking it.

He took out a silver note to settle the bill.

The shopkeeper cheerfully sent the two off.

Shangguan Qing fumed silently, growing angrier the more he thought about it on the way back.

He wanted to see the kid make a fool of himself, but ended up being the one laughed at. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
