Qin Yanning's lightness skills were now barely good enough to be presented to others. Meng Changyun wanted her to practice and led her all the way to Ping'an Restaurant.

Although the current government continued the curfew, Meng Changyun had already made preparations, so he did not encounter any patrolling guards along the way.

Qin Yanning followed Meng Changyun into the Ping'an Restaurant in silence all the way.

Inside the restaurant, the Qin couple were busy making their secret sweet osmanthus lotus root.

Seeing Meng Changyun bringing people over, the two were not surprised at all.

Qin Fu, the boss, even joked, "Young Master, you wanted to please the beauty, so you ordered the freshly baked sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root in advance."

Meng Changyun nodded without comment, and found a seat with Qin Yanning to sit down.

Qin Wangshi, who was busy in the kitchen, also came out and greeted the two of them.

Qin Yanning asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

Meng Changyun pointed to the purse in his hand and replied, "Silver."

Qin Yanning understood that it was all due to his wealth.

It turns out that Meng Changyun does things in a somewhat unorthodox way.

Soon, Qin Fu brought up a plate of sliced ​​sweet osmanthus lotus root.

Qin Yanning put down her chopsticks after taking a bite. Qin Fu immediately became nervous, "Miss, what's wrong with your taste?"

At this time, Qin Fu looked like a loyal and honest businessman. No one could have imagined that such a man would sell his own daughter.

Qin Yanning smiled broadly, "It's delicious. Boss and Boss Lady, please sit down and have some tea. It's still early in the morning."

Meng Changyun spent money generously. Although Qin Fu didn't understand why Qin Yanning invited them and their husband to have tea, in order not to offend Meng Changyun, a big client, he still called Qin Wangshi over.

The two sat opposite Qin Yanning and Meng Changyun and took the teacup handed over by Qin Yanning.

Looking at the tea leaves in the cup in front of him gradually expanding, Qin Yanning smiled and said, "I think the boss's restaurant is doing a booming business."

Qin Fu smiled wryly and said, "It's just a small business, and it's all thanks to the support of all of you nobles. If there were more nobles like you, our restaurant could be expanded."

Qin Yanning took a sip of tea and said, "Then the boss can pass this business on to his own children to inherit, so that they can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life."

The Qin couple's faces changed when they heard this. Finally, it was Lady Qin who spoke up, "To be honest, my lord and my lady, Old Qin and I are not destined to have children. We still don't have a son or daughter."

"I just arranged for Lao Qin to take a concubine this year. When we have a child, I can hold it in my arms. It will be something we can rely on when we are old."

When Qin Yanning heard Qin Wangshi's answer, although his face was as calm as water, ripples began to form in his heart.

There are still no children until now, so what is the original owner?

A thing to exchange for money?

The original owner still had some hatred towards the Qin couple in his body, and Qin Yanning's hands were trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Meng Changyun held Qin Yanning's hand. Feeling the warmth in Meng Changyun's hand, Qin Yanning's emotions gradually stabilized.

"Are you sure, boss lady, that you really don't have a child?" Qin Yanning asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangshi looked a little surprised. "What are you talking about, young lady? How could I not know whether I have given birth to a child or not?"

Qin Yanning raised his eyes and looked at Qin Fu and Qin Wangshi steadily, his eyes filled with tears.

"My last name is Qin too. Do you think I look familiar?"

Meng Changyun only felt that Qin Yanning at this moment was stubborn, and this stubbornness even overshadowed her fragility.

Although she was just a young girl, she exuded a captivating spirit at this moment.

Qin Fu laughed and said, "Miss, you are joking. You are a noble man. How can we, who are just digging for food in the dirt, have any relationship with you?"

Qin Wangshi looked at Qin Yanning and gradually realized that something was wrong. She reached out and tugged at Qin Fu's sleeve.

Qin Fu impatiently shook off Qin Wangshi's hand and asked, "Why are you pulling me?"

Qin Wangshi muttered something in a low voice, and Qin Fu's expression suddenly changed.

Qin Yanning saw clearly that it was her name that Qin Wangshi called out.

Qin Yanning tapped the table lightly. "Did you recognize me?"

Qin Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, please stop joking..."

Meng Changyun suddenly pulled out the sword on the table. The sword edge was shining coldly, and the tip of the sword was pointing at Qin Fu's throat.

Qin Fu felt the cold touch on his throat and couldn't help shivering.

Qin Wangshi was also frightened. Qin Yanning had learned some basic kung fu, and Meng Changyun had put muscle softening powder in the tea, so Qin Wangshi was tied up in no time.

After tying up Lady Qin, Qin Yanning sat back leisurely.

Meng Changyun handed her a handkerchief. Qin Yanning was a little puzzled. Meng Changyun said coldly, "Dirty."

Qin Yanning smiled, and this smile seemed to melt the ice and snow accumulated over the years.

She thanked Meng Changyun from the bottom of her heart and wiped her hands with the handkerchief.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Qin Fu's head and flowed down his face.

There was deathly silence in the restaurant.

Qin Fu whispered, "Auntie, we had no choice but to sell you to the Famous Sword Pavilion. Besides, aren't you fine now?"

"Look, he's living a life of luxury now, so why did you bother looking for him?"

"If I yell and alarm the patrol officers, you won't be in any trouble, will you?"

"So do you think your mouth is faster or my sword is faster?" Meng Changyun tilted the tip of the sword a little, and the blade scratched Qin Fu's neck, leaving a faint blood mark.

Qin Fu quickly begged for mercy, "Auntie, what are you going to do?"

Qin Yanning looked at Qin Fu and Qin Wangshi steadily. She reached out and took off the rag stuffed in Qin Wangshi's mouth.

"I just want to know, since you haven't had any children for so many years, do you ever regret selling me to the Famous Sword Pavilion?"

"Have you ever thought about taking me back?"

Qin Fu hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "You are our own flesh and blood. How could we not love you? We regretted it later, but we dared not do that since Mingjian Pavilion is so wealthy."

Qin Wangshi also nodded in agreement.

Qin Yanning's lips curled up into a scornful smile, "You lied, you can give birth to a child, what do you have to regret?"

Meng Changyun had already found out that Qin Fu had a mistress outside and now had a son and a daughter.

If that is the case, Qin Fu cannot be the kind of person who never forgets his wife. Then why does he still keep a childless woman as his wife now that he is rich?

Unless the King of Qin has something on him, or they have a secret to protect together.

Qin Yanning's voice was sweet, but her tone was chilling, "Because I wasn't born to you two."
