Chapter 349: It's not her private affairs that should be discussed
"Remember what I said, you won't be so lucky next time."
After saying this, Yan Yan retracted his sword and walked towards the Yipin Building with the guards.
What she said to Shen Shu just now was the truth.
For Yan Yan, Chen Shu's incident allowed her to successfully break off her engagement with He Qiming.
That’s why Yan Yan didn’t cut off Shen Shu’s hand.
But that's just one of the reasons.
The main reason was that she didn't want to fight on this street.
Although Yan Yan has been staying at the border for many years, she also understands that businessmen don't like to see blood.
Especially since the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
The whole street here is full of businesses, there is no need to implicate others because of He Qiming's mistake.
Moreover, Yan Yan quite likes Yipinlou.
The food here is delicious and the cooking methods are novel.
Yan Yan just came from the food street. Taking advantage of the activity there, she also won a lucky gift package.
Although she hasn't had time to open it yet, she feels that she will definitely like it.
No matter what, we have to give face to the owner of Yipintang.
The guard followed Yan Yan and walked into the Yipin Building together.
Xiao Er came forward timidly and said, "Dear guests, would you like to eat in or take away the food?"
In addition to dining in at Yipinlou, you can also pack up the food you want to take away.
While speaking, the waiter was very nervous, fearing that he might do something wrong and anger Yan Yan.
Yan Yan said succinctly: "We have booked a private room."
The waiter suddenly realized that the Yan family seemed to have indeed booked a private room on the third floor.
"Sir, please follow me."
It turned out that he had already booked a private room to dine, no wonder he was stopped and had to take out his sword.
In that situation, no one would feel good.
The onlookers on the first floor who had watched the whole process suddenly realized that Miss Yan wanted to have dinner at Yipintang.
He had booked a private room early, which was why he was blocked by He Qiming and that woman at the door.
It seems that Miss Yan did not want to offend Yipinlou, so she did not shed blood here.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing Yan Yan walk into Yipin Building, the crowd that was originally watching the excitement around dispersed.
Others should eat when they should eat and shop when they should shop.
Everyone who knew He Qiming remained silent and pretended not to know this person.
No one cared about Shen Shu who was still crying silently on the ground, and no one paid any attention to He Qiming who had just been kicked out by Yan Yan and was lying on the ground like a toad.
Although the crowd had dispersed, there were still people pointing fingers at Chen Shu and He Qiming.
"The Yan family has guarded the border for many years, but they bully the girl from the Yan family. This is really wrong."
"The girl from the Yan family also went to the battlefield and played her part in protecting the border. These two deserved it."
"They really overestimated their own abilities. Fortunately, they didn't make a fuss about it, otherwise this matter would definitely not be resolved easily."
"You're clearly taking advantage of others and still acting like a good kid. You're asking for it."
Shen Shu was dissatisfied and wanted to argue for herself.
But she was afraid that Yan Yan would come out with the sword again, so she wiped her tears and stood up.
Then he helped the disheveled He Qiming up, and the two of them left supporting each other.
Princess Lejia's eyes were gleaming with gossip: "It's really exciting! You should be ruthless when dealing with such people, otherwise he will be more aggressive next time. But this He Qiming really deserves a beating. He has been warned, but he still doesn't take it seriously."
Zhou Ying smiled and said, "Miss Yan handled it very well."
She actually quite liked the personality of this girl from the Yan family.
It not only taught He Qiming a lesson, but also avoided giving him room for criticism.
It will not bring any criticism to the Yan family.
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "She is very smart. I believe that the Yong'an Earl's Mansion will not be dissatisfied with this."
The engagement between He Qiming and Yan Yan was originally a matter discussed by both families, but he used this method to force the breakup.
It not only slapped the face of the Yan family, but also the face of the He family, and it also chilled the hearts of the Yong'an Earl and his wife.
Over the years, the Earl of Yong'an and his wife have given He Qiming a life of luxury and have devoted so much effort to him.
In the end, it was easily denied.
It's not even as important as a peasant girl whom I've known for less than half a year.
Only those who are favored will feel fearless. He Qiming dared to make such a fuss only because he relied on the special treatment his parents gave him.
At the beginning, Lady Yong'an was blinded by her love for her son and was at a loss.
When she realized what was happening, she began to follow her husband and shift resources toward her other sons.
The heir to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion cannot be such a confused person.
He Qiming wanted freedom, but was unwilling to give up his position as the heir to the Yong'an Earl's Mansion.
Only then did he think that the Yan family was causing trouble and he went to Yan Yan to make trouble.
Yan Yan is not as reckless as He Qiming thinks, but is actually very smart.
Even if they were to teach He Qiming and Chen Shu a lesson, they would do so only to the point where things got out of control.
As long as there is no loss of life, I believe that the Yong'an Earl and his wife would be happy to see Yan Yan help them teach their son a lesson.

In the private room
Yan Yan was looking through the names and pictures of the dishes on the menu, thinking about what to order.
This casserole porridge looks pretty good, so let’s order the seafood casserole porridge.
It’s quite cold anyway, so we should eat something hot.
But the portion of this casserole porridge seems to be quite large. I wonder if I won’t be able to eat anything else.
It was tea time at Yipintang and she wanted to order some snacks.
Just when Yan Yan was hesitating, the waiter suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
He carried the tray and placed the contents on the table.
"Sir, this is the Anxiang porridge, and this is the Anxiang tea."
Yan Yan smelled the faint fragrance and was a little surprised: "I haven't ordered yet. Besides, these are not on the menu."
Although she was slow, she still looked carefully at all the dishes on the menu.
There was clearly no food related to plum blossoms on it.
The waiter smiled and said, "This is a gift from our boss. It is made from plum blossoms from our boss's farm. It has not been officially sold yet, so I sent it here specially for you to taste."
Yan Yan was even more surprised, their boss.
Aren’t the bosses here Princess Yinghua, Princess Lejia and Miss Zhou?
Why did they send her food?
Yan Yan wanted to ask a few more questions, but the waiter had already left.
Her eyes moved to the bowl of fragrant porridge on the table, which looked quite delicious.
Snow-white porridge base, attractive plum petals...
It looks elegant and extraordinary.
Yan Yan looked at the cup of fragrant tea again. In the mist-rising cup, the half-opened plum blossoms slowly bloomed and floated up and down.
It's quite interesting.
Since it was sent by the host here, let’s try it.
It's not good to reject someone's good intentions.
Yan Yan picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fragrant porridge, blew it gently, and put it into her mouth.
The rice grains are extremely soft and glutinous, each one has burst into flower, and has a light plum blossom fragrance.
The smooth porridge and soft plum petals enter the mouth, and the unique fragrance of plum blossoms instantly invades every part of the mouth like a silent drizzle that moistens everything.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Yan Yan seemed to smell a faint almond scent.
After swallowing the porridge in your mouth, the fragrance still lingers between your lips and teeth.
The elegant fragrance of plum blossoms is brought to its extreme, quiet yet not vulgar.
No wonder it is called Anxiang porridge.
Yan Yan drank up half a bowl of the fragrant porridge in one go, and felt warm in her stomach, feeling extremely comfortable.
She put down the spoon, brought the teacup in front of her, and drank slowly.
Unlike other teas that are bitter, the dark fragrance tea is fresh and mellow.
As the warm tea takes a sip, a light and sweet aftertaste flows down your throat.
The elegant floral scent permeates between the lips and teeth, with a fresh almond scent.
Sweet, smooth and layered.
Yan Yan took another sip from the cup. She liked the taste.
Whether it is the Anxiang porridge or the Anxiang tea, they both have the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms, yet are warm.
It gives people a feeling of sudden warmth and chill, as if being in a garden in early spring.
I don’t know if it’s because of the Anxiang porridge and Anxiang tea, but Yan Yan felt that her throat, stomach, and even her whole body were moist and warm.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she felt indescribably relieved in her heart.
I didn't expect that I could taste such elegant food before leaving the capital.
After the Chinese New Year, she will return to the border.
In fact, for Yan Yan, breaking off the engagement with He Qiming was not a big deal.
The reason why He Qiming was whipped in the Imperial College was not only because he disturbed his grandmother, but it was also deliberate.
She didn't want to get into another marriage right after breaking off the engagement.
Now the whole capital city knows that He Qiming was determined to break off the engagement with General Yan's granddaughter because of a peasant girl. People on the streets are talking about this as a joke after dinner.
Yan Yanzhi is not in the backyard, but on the battlefield.
Grandfather was right. The Yan family has been defending the country for generations, and they would rather die on the battlefield.
Even though she is a girl, she can still take up sword and go into battle to defend this piece of pure land.
What people should be talking about is not her personal affairs, but her military achievements.
