Just then, Cui Zique and Cui Zige arrived at Huarongzhuang. The waiter quickly and warmly greeted them, as he knew these two well; they were the regular customers he had mentioned before.

"Young Master Cui, Second Young Master Cui," he said, guiding the two men inside. "What would you like to eat today?"

Cui Zijue was thinking when he looked up and saw Xu Yuehuai, who was dressed as a man, on the second floor. He searched his memory carefully but had no recollection of her. He really couldn't figure out who she was.

"Who is that upstairs?" he immediately asked the waiter.

The waiter looked in the direction Cui Zique was looking and quickly explained, "Oh, that's a distant nephew of the Duke of Zhenguo. He's very generous. He gave me a silver ingot on his first visit today."

Cui Zige also looked up and, upon hearing from the waiter that he was a distant nephew of the Duke of Zhenguo, almost burst out laughing. Wasn't this guy afraid of biting off more than he could chew?

"The Duke of Zhenguo? As far as I know, he doesn't have a nephew at all!" Cui Zige knew that someone might be impersonating the Duke of Zhenguo, so he exposed them on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the waiter was suspicious and tentatively asked, "Really? Could it be that you're mistaken, Second Young Master? That person spoke with such certainty and was so generous. How could he be an imposter?"

Cui Zijue frowned. He glanced at Xu Yuehuai, who was dressed as a man on the second floor, and had an answer in his mind. After looking at the person's face carefully, he recognized that it was Xu Yuehuai.

Although he didn't know what Xu Yuehuai was planning to do, Cui Zique couldn't let Cui Zige ruin things like this, otherwise it would be so awkward when they met in the future.

After thinking it over, Cui Zique quickly tried to smooth things over for Xu Yuehuai, putting his arm around Cui Zige's shoulder and saying, "That's right, the Duke of Zhenguo does indeed have such a distant nephew. Second brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

After saying that, he subtly pinched Cui Zige's shoulder.

Having spent so much time together, the two had developed a certain understanding. He instantly realized something was amiss and quickly slapped his forehead, saying, "Look at my memory! I've completely forgotten. Didn't we meet once before? It's been years! I've forgotten his last name. Was it Li or Wang?"

"In response to Second Young Master, his surname is Li." Upon seeing this, the waiter hurriedly whispered a reminder, further confirming Xu Yuehuai's identity.

“It has indeed been a long time. I’m going upstairs to catch up with Brother Li. Would you like to come along?” Cui Zique said, preparing to go upstairs.

When Cui Zige saw that he was going to go upstairs again, he had no interest in it at all. He had just covered for his brother, but he didn't expect that the guy would guess right.

“Brother, you can go upstairs yourself. I’m not going. It’s your business if you’re on good terms with him. I don’t know him.” He said, then put his arm around the waiter’s shoulder with a lewd look and said, “Waiter, find me a beauty. I’m not going home until I’m drunk tonight. As for my brother, let him go meet his friends. He’s always been so boring.”

"Alright, alright." Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately took Cui Zige away and busied himself arranging a table for him.

Cui Zige secretly gave Cui Zique behind her a thumbs up, but Cui Zique shook his head and turned to go upstairs.

On the other side, Cui Zige was placed in a corner where the light was very dim, which suited him perfectly, and he was naturally very satisfied.

Cui Zique had already gone up to the second floor. When he reached the private room where Xu Yuehuai was, he couldn't help but tease her, "Long time no see."

Although it's just four simple words, it's full of meaning.

Xu Yuehuai didn't mind. She was just extremely curious as to why Cui Zique could recognize her so quickly. Was her disguise not good enough?

Little did she know that this disguise was only effective against people who had never seen her before; those who already knew her would see right through it.

She chuckled softly and made a shushing gesture, then stood up and let him in. She poured Cui Zique a glass of wine and then asked him to sit down.

After Cui Zique sat down, he looked Xu Yuehuai up and down again before speaking, "Hua Rong Manor is not suitable for women to visit."

After saying that, he poured the wine that Xu Yuehuai had poured onto the ground, indicating that he also knew there was something wrong with the wine.

Xu Yuehuai was even more curious after hearing this. Ever since she entered Hua Rong Manor, everything was shrouded in mystery, but she was still completely baffled. Hearing Cui Zique's explanation only fueled her curiosity.

Just as they were about to ask Cui Zique what had happened, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Stop! Stop right there!" Judging from the voice, it was the waiter from earlier, seemingly chasing after someone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai looked outside. The entire second floor was a circle, and she saw the waiter chasing after someone across the street, shouting, "Catch her! Catch her quickly! She's a woman!"

Xu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but before she could finish, the woman ran into her private room and slammed the door shut behind her.

This made Xu Yuehua frown. After all, she was also a woman disguised as a man. If she were discovered because of this, it would be a loss. She then wanted to tell the waiter to take the man away quickly.

As she was thinking, the woman began to plead for help from Xu Yuehuai, anxiously crying out, "Young master, young master, please save me! I'm doomed if they catch me!"

The woman looked around as soon as she entered, and finally called out for help to Xu Yuehuai, who was sitting in the main seat.

Xu Yuehua hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to cause trouble, but since it was a human life at stake, she quickly lifted the tablecloth and said, "I'm sorry to have wronged you, young lady."

"Thank you, thank you." The woman reacted quickly, breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her, and crawled inside.

Soon the waiter came in, and upon seeing the two people in the private room, his expression immediately changed. He respectfully asked, "Gentlemen, excuse me, did you see a woman dressed as a man running over here?"

Xu Yuehuai didn't say anything. She just shook her head slightly and then started eating the sesame seed cake by herself.

Cui Zijue, standing to the side, casually pointed ahead and then said coldly, "I hope no one will bother us anymore, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood." The waiter hurriedly replied. He couldn't afford to offend the two people in the private room. He then quietly closed the door and quickly went to chase after them.

Once the footsteps outside had faded into the distance, Xu Yuehuai slowly lifted the tablecloth and said, "Come out."
