Xing Manfeng took a long breath and sighed loudly, "This Ye Gongzi is really terrifying!" You say who in this world can stand him, if he marries home, he will definitely die! ā€

"Hehe, having said that, but that Ye Gongzi is really handsome, if he can really marry home, he will be a treasure to offer, and watch it every day, isn't it a pleasure." Xing Manlan patted Gu Tongye's shoulder, smiling meaningfully.

Gu Tongye's face sank, and he quietly avoided Xing Manlan's hand, and smiled without smiling, "Lord Xing can't talk nonsense, although Ye Zhenyan is a nerd, but others are understanding people, and if you say this, it will ruin the innocence of other men." ā€

The smile on Xing Manlan's face froze, and then nodded awkwardly, "That's true, it's because I didn't think it through." ā€

Out of Yizhuang, the sky had darkened, and there were desolate streets all around, and only one or two people could be seen hurrying by.

Gu Tongye looked back at Yizhuang, a little uneasy.

"Miss Gu, don't worry, we have arranged for the yamen to stay outside Yizhuang, as long as Ye Gongzi needs them, they will go in to help."

Xing Manfeng caught a glimpse of Gu Tongye's worried look, and secretly said that he didn't expect this Gu Tongye to be still infatuated, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"If you're not at ease, we'll stay here and wait for him." Mu Xiu suddenly approached Gu Tongye and said in a low voice.

Gu Tongye shook her head, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she always felt a little uneasy, as if something terrible was going to happen, and this feeling was even stricter when she walked out of Yizhuang.

"It's getting late now, there is a restaurant near here that has a good five-flower brew, why don't we go there and drink while waiting for Ye Gongzi's news?" Xing Manlan built yƬ road.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Xing Manfeng immediately echoed.

So the four of them turned around and walked towards the restaurant not far away.

"Little Second Sister!" Xing Manfeng raised his hand and shouted.

"Come on, what do you want, guest officer?" The little second sister ran over immediately, shook the rag on her hand, and asked earnestly.

Xing Manfeng looked at Xing Manlan, Xing Manlan waved her hand, motioning her to look at it.

"Okay, let's have a piece of beef, a piece of white chopped chicken, a portion of braised pork ribs, a portion of Dongpo meat, a portion of mapo tofu, a portion of tofu soup, and then a plate of peanuts, two plates of cooked vegetables, and a pot of stuffed pork belly!"

Xing Manfeng skillfully reported the name of the dish, and asked Gu Tongye when he was finished, "Miss Gu, do you have any dishes you want to order?" ā€

Gu Tongye shook his head, "Let's just feel free." ā€

Xing Manfeng nodded, and didn't ask any more, anyway, she knew Gu Tongye's craftsmanship, maybe the signature dishes of this restaurant were tasteless in her opinion.

Maybe it's because it's night, and there aren't many people who come to the restaurant to eat, so the food is served quickly, and in less than a cup of tea, the dishes they ordered are almost finished, only the five-flower brew has not yet been served.

"Little Second Sister!" Xing Manfeng shouted dissatisfiedly, "As for our wine, why hasn't it been delivered yet?" ā€

The little second sister ran up embarrassedly and explained apologetically, "The guest officer is really sorry, there are a lot of people during the day today, and the five flowers we have stored have already been sold out, I didn't know before, I didn't remind the guest officer, I'm really sorry, why don't you change to another wine?" ā€

Xing Manfeng's body was shocked, his eyes were round with anger, and he shouted angrily, "What do you little second sister do, our sisters are all brewed for your family's five flowers, and now there is no wine and what kind of food do you eat, aren't you kidding me!" ā€

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The little second sister apologized again and again, her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the saber on Xing Manfeng's waist, and she became more and more nervous, and the bridge of her nose was sweating.

"Well, you don't look good lately, eat more meat." Gu Tongye picked and chosen, and finally found a piece of braised pork ribs that were fat and thin, and looked good and put them in Mu Xiu's bowl, and then looked at Mu Xiu with a smile as if no one was around.

Mu Xiu pushed his hand and began to put on his face again, "Don't eat!" ā€

"Why? You haven't eaten anything today, you're going to starve! "Gu Tongye himself is a gourmet, so he is very particular about food health, not only to have three complete meals, but also to pay attention to balanced nutrition.

Mu Xiu had a straight face, as if he had a deep hatred with the ribs, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat!" ā€

Gu Tongye was helpless, now that there were outsiders present, it was even more impossible for her to lose her temper or use strong means to force Mu Xiu, so she had to serve him a bowl of tofu soup, and said earnestly, "Since you don't want to eat, let's drink some soup to warm your stomach." ā€

Xing Manlan saw this qiē in his eyes, with a look of disapproval on his face, and stared at Gu Tongye for a few seconds, and sighed faintly before he went to deal with Xing Manfeng's affairs.

"Enough, stop arguing, what is it like." Xing Manlan grabbed Xing Manfeng and reprimanded, and Xing Manfeng was immediately deflated.

When the two were about to order another drink, Xing Manfeng was so dead, and with sharp eyes, he saw a man walking downstairs with a jar of five-flower brew, and immediately shouted, "You stop!" ā€

The other party was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he smashed the good five-flower brew on the jar, and the fragrant and intoxicating smell of wine spread throughout the restaurant.

"Okay, you little second sister, you obviously have five-flower brew, you dare to lie to me!" Xing Manfeng grabbed the placket of the little second sister's clothes and asked angrily.

"Guest officer, don't be impulsive, listen to me, listen to me!" The little second sister was so frightened that her guts were about to break, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free of Xing Manfeng's palm.

Xing Manlan was also a little displeased, you said that you are a restaurant, but you have wine but you deceive customers that you don't have wine, isn't this obviously looking down on people!

"Oh, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Xing Zhutou begs you to raise your noble hand and let go of this little second sister, the old woman is here to compensate you!" A lean old woman hurried upstairs and shouted loudly.

Gu Tongye and Mu Xiu also stopped bickering, and looked at the person who came at the same time.

Xing Manfeng squinted at the visitor, "Are you the shopkeeper here?" ā€

"Exactly, Xiaomin's surname is Wang, and his single name is a benevolent character, which is the shopkeeper of this restaurant." The old woman stepped forward and saluted everyone, and she didn't even miss Mu Xiu, but she was a person who could look at people's eyes.

"Since you said it was a misunderstanding, then you can make it clear, what is the misunderstanding?" Xing Manlan looked at Wang Ren sharply and asked in a cold voice.

Wang Ren looked around and said, "My lord, can you take a step to speak?" ā€ā€•ā€•

"It's not a secret, there is indeed a jar of five-flower brew in our store, but my little girl is young and ignorant, he heard that Lord Qin unfortunately died, so he secretly took a jar of five-flower brew to worship the adult, oh, that is, the altar that Xiao Xiao'er broke before. That jar of wine had been sacrificed to the dead, although Wang was a businessman, but I didn't dare to make everyone's money with my conscience, so I asked the little second sister to tell Xing Zhutou that the five-flower brew in the store had been sold out. It's really ...... Alas, please don't spread the word about it! ā€

Wang Ren said and sighed, originally she was reluctant to say these words, lest outsiders listen to it and damage her youngest son's reputation, but now he has to tell him frankly.

When Xing Manfeng heard this, he frowned and asked, "What is the relationship between your little girl and Lord Qin?" As far as I know, Lord Qin is the first time I've come to Yushan Town! ā€

When Gu Tongye heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Mu Xiu, who understood, nodded and turned around and walked out of the room.

Wang Ren stood there embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before saying ambiguously, "This, this is actually nothing, that is, Lord Qin likes our family's five-flower brew very much, so he often comes to sit in the restaurant, sometimes for half a day, so after knowing that she is dead, we are all very sad, so we want to take some five-flower brew to worship her." There's nothing special about it. ā€

Seeing that Xing Manfeng wanted to ask something more, Gu Tongye stepped forward to interrupt her, smiling and muddy, "Okay, since the shopkeeper has said so, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, Xing Zhutou, I see that this day is getting colder and colder, let's let the shopkeeper hurry up and give us a warm pot of wine, so let's warm up." ā€

After Gu Tongye finished speaking, he looked at Xing Manlan, although Xing Manlan was puzzled, he still helped persuade him, "Don't talk nonsense, it's cold, hurry up and go back and sit." After saying that, he returned to his seat first.

Although Xing Manfeng still wanted to ask some more things, since her cousin had said this, she couldn't dwell on it anymore, so she could only follow back to her seat sullenly.

Halfway through the meal, Mu Xiu came back.

"Let's eat something first." Gu Tongye got up and pulled Mu Xiu to sit in his seat, handed him the warm wine that had been served again, and put some hot dishes into his bowl.

Mu Xiu only drank a glass of wine, and then opened his mouth to talk about what he had seen.

It turned out that Gu Tongye saw that the shopkeeper was talking and his eyes were evasive, so he suspected that she must have hidden something, and the reason why she hid it was because of the little girl in her mouth. So she asked Mu Xiu to go out to monitor the child, and at the same time spoke out to stop Xing Manfeng from continuing to entangle the shopkeeper, she believed that as long as the shopkeeper went out, she would definitely go to Xiao Qi'er to ask him.

And what happened was as she expected, the shopkeeper retreated and turned around and went to the backyard, and found Xiao Qi'er and told him not to go out lightly, let alone mention Qin Hairong's matter to others. The shopkeeper said that Xiao Qi'er and Qin Hairong had a huge disparity in status, but now that Qin Hairong is dead, Xiao Qi'er can't think about her anymore, just think that woman is a dream, and forget about it when she wakes up from the dream.

When the little girl heard this, she cried loudly, and then the shopkeeper did not mention some comforting words.
