"My lady, we're here."

Yuan Qiu was dressed in a crimson-purple outfit and holding a folding fan. Although she was still dressed as usual, her expression no longer had the same rebellious and arrogant look as before.

She was seen jumping off a tall horse, then bending over and coming to a luxurious carriage behind her, and gently lifting the ochre silk curtain.

Then a tall and noble woman walked out of the carriage, followed by two tall and mighty male servants who looked very masculine.

"Flowers in the Mirror Snacks!"

Xiahou Yu, dressed in a crimson brocade palace robe, holding a sword, stepped on the driver's back and slowly dismounted from the carriage. He looked up at the large shop sign above the front door, and a glint of determination flashed in Xiahou Yu's eyes.

"My lady, this is the place." Yuan Qiu threw away the folding fan in his hand with a "snap" and fanned himself in a self-proclaimed cool manner.

"Cousin Yuanqiu, you are the daughter of the cousin of my father's half-brother's wife, so we are relatives. Since I am only one year older than you, you can just call me cousin."

Although Xiahou Yu looked down on this low-class relative who had gone through so many twists and turns, she came to Fufeng County for an important matter and still needed the help of the Yuan family, so she decided to humble herself and appease Yuan Qiu first.

"Yes, cousin." Yuan Qiu looked flattered. She became more attentive to Xia Hou Yu and the look in her eyes when she looked at her became more sincere.

"Let's go! As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Today I'll come and see the Jing Hua Yuan snacks that even the emperor praised for their exquisite craftsmanship and unique style." Xiahou Yu patted Yuan Qiu's shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Your Majesty?" Yuan Qiu's legs softened slightly when she heard that. How could a small folk snack shop be related to the emperor who was thousands of miles away?

"Heh...you don't know this, right?" Xiahou Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, admiring Yuan Qiu's ignorant look with great satisfaction.

"My cousin is very knowledgeable, while Yuanqiu is just a rustic country woman. Please help me solve my doubts. Yuanqiu would like to hear the details." Yuanqiu flattered her in a very polite manner.

Before this, Yuan Qiu always stayed around County Magistrate Xiao Yanlan, and had already learned her official flattery skills perfectly.

"Half a month ago, the Emperor's father-in-law, Mu Lanjin, returned from the dead and returned to the capital from Fufeng County. The Emperor personally led all the officials to greet him at the city gate. It was quite a grand occasion! Such an honor is naturally not something that anyone can obtain. After all, that old man Mu is the late Empress Feng's biological father."

Xiahou Yu looked at Yuan Qiu's stunned expression, his lips curled slightly as he continued, "I heard that when the father-in-law was wandering among the common people, he was taken in by a peasant woman, and that peasant woman happened to be the owner of Jing Hua Yuan Snack Shop in Fufeng County."

"The owner of Jing Hua Yuan snacks?" Yuan Qiu was shocked when she heard this, but she quickly suppressed her surprise.

"Yes. The father-in-law also brought back a lot of snacks from the Mirror Flower Yuan snacks. Even the emperor, despite the censors' dissuasion, tasted them himself and praised them in front of all the officials."

"So, cousin, you came here for the snacks at Jing Hua Yuan this time?" Yuan Qiu asked tentatively.

Yuan Qiu had previously heard from her mother Yuan Ba ​​that Xiahou Yu, the eldest daughter of Xiahou Jing, King of Pingxi, would be coming to Fufeng County soon.

In order to get Xia Houyu to come here sooner, Yuan Qiu even sent a letter to the capital, informing her that there was a man here who was very much to her liking. She had thought that Xia Houyu had come here for the ugly man in the store, but she hadn't expected that she had also come for the snacks at Jing Hua Yuan.

This is perfect, as it saves her from having to sow discord. As long as she stirs up trouble from time to time and provokes their conflicts, she can then sit back and watch the fire from the other side and use Xiahou Yu to vent her anger, the anger that was crushed by the "Golden Butterfly".

"Yes and no..." Xiahou Yu's eyes were cold and he looked at Jinghuayuan Snacks with a smile on his face.

Since the emperor likes the snacks from Jing Hua Yuan so much, and even his loss of appetite that lasted for a long time has improved because of the food from this shop, if she can get hold of the person and send him to the capital to present to the emperor, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

Moreover, she could also use this peasant woman as a spy for the Prince of Pingxi's Palace and place her in the imperial kitchen of the palace... As for the man that Yuan Qiu had mentioned to her before, she would just take him in.

So, Xiahou Yu brought two servants and Yuan Qiu with them, each with different thoughts, into Jing Hua Yuan Snack Shop.

"Boss, give me all the food you have here."

After entering the shop, Xia Houyu was served by a male servant and sat down at a table. Yuan Qiu walked to the counter and called out to Zhang San, who was busy in the shop.

"you……"

"You are Yuan Qiu!"

Zhang San looked at the woman who had come to his house to cause trouble with a look of horror on his face.

When Master Situ was in the shop, he easily knocked down the twenty thugs brought by Yuan Qiu, but now that Master Situ is not here, what should they do?

"What? You're open for business, but you're still categorizing your customers into different levels. Don't you want to sell to me?"

With Xia Houyu's support, Yuan Qiu leaned against the wall in a very rogue manner and raised her voice deliberately, attracting people waiting in line to buy things to turn around and salute her.

People who didn't know Yuan Qiu looked at the shop assistants Zhang San and Li Si with inquiring eyes, as well as Zuo An, who was sitting in front of the counter with his hands clasped behind his head, leaning back in his chair, legs crossed, and his eyes closed, resting without any image.

Those who knew Yuan Qiu all sneered in their hearts. Ever since the Sihai Casino and the Yuan Family Martial Arts School were crushed by the Golden Butterfly, Yuan Qiu had been hiding in his shell and dared not come out to cause trouble again. Now was his old problem coming back?
