Chapter 251 Don't be ungrateful
As soon as the group arrived at the inn's entrance, a waiter immediately came to greet them.
The waiter's gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Yu Zhiyi's face for a few more moments, before he smiled and asked the Marquis of Wu'an's heir, who seemed to be in charge, "Sir, would you like to eat or have a bite to eat?"
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an gave a mocking smirk, which quickly vanished. He then pointed to Yu Zhiyi beside him and said, "This is our master."
The waiter was taken aback and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, miss. Are you here for a meal or just a quick bite?"
Yu Zhiyi's cool gaze swept across the waiter's face, and she said indifferently, "We'll stay here. Please take care of our horses. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
"Alright!" the waiter called out into the shop. "There are twenty-four guests. A few people, please lead the horses."
Before long, two more waiters came out and drove the horses to the backyard in several groups.
There weren't many guests at the inn. It was lunchtime, and there was only one table of guests in the lobby on the first floor, a man and a woman who looked like a young couple.
The lights in the guest rooms on the second floor were all off, indicating that there were no other guests staying there.
As soon as Yu Zhiyi entered the store, that uncomfortable feeling intensified.
It was eerily quiet, filled with overwhelming resentment.
She glanced around the inn and quickly got a sense of what was going on.
At that moment, the couple at the next table had just finished their meal and were preparing to go upstairs to rest.
Yu Zhiyi's gaze darkened when she saw the bones on the table.
The innkeeper himself stepped forward and warmly greeted them, "Please have a seat, esteemed guests!"
Then he took out the menu: "Gentlemen, what would you like to order?"
He smiled and recommended, "Our shop's most famous dish is this braised pork knuckle. Besides that, these other dishes also sell very well."
"I'm not exaggerating, this tastes absolutely amazing!"
The inn's kitchen is located on the right side of the lobby on the first floor, separated only by a curtain.
At that time, flames flickered in the direction of the kitchen, and the sound of stir-frying dishes could be heard from time to time.
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "If there are no guests, who are you cooking for?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, his round face looking incredibly honest: "We're human too, we need to eat."
Yu Zhiyi nodded, glanced briefly at the menu, and quickly ordered a few dishes: "Six tables of dishes, serve the same dishes to each table."
The shopkeeper was taken aback: "You...you just want this?"
The Marquis of Wu'an's son's eyes darkened: "We don't need Miss to pay for our meals. Please bring some meat dishes instead."
Therefore, he doesn't like going out with women, and he looks down on female bosses.
Long hair, short on brains.
This large group of tall, strong men, having traveled all day, were exhausted and hungry, and were counting on this evening's meal to restore their strength.
Let's not talk about fancy dishes, but at least there should be some meat in the dishes, right?
But all the dishes that Lord Yu ordered were vegetarian!
Celery with peanuts, stir-fried shredded radish, stir-fried shredded potatoes...
Just hearing the name makes one feel nauseous.
They're not short of meat and vegetables, why are they being so stingy?
Yu Zhiyi glanced at him indifferently: "Captain Song, don't forget that you need to listen to me completely on this trip. If you displease me, I don't know if I'll be able to control my tongue when we get back..."
Eat meat?
You can eat human flesh without worrying about incurring negative karma.
If this person were to act recklessly in other matters, she certainly wouldn't be a saint and step in to stop them.
But those who were doxxed were victims, and she naturally couldn't let them suffer further harm after their deaths.
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir's face was so ugly it looked like it could drip water, but he had no way to disobey Yu Zhiyi's orders.
Putting aside the fact that he was the captain of the guard appointed by the emperor himself, and that he had to ensure Yu Zhiyi's safety and obey her orders at all times, her third-rank official position alone was enough to suppress him completely.
He clenched his fists, his voice almost crackling with ice: "Please forgive us, Miss, we will do as you say."
Seeing that the veins on the man's face were bulging, as if he was about to hit someone, Jiang Liuyun quickly stood protectively beside Yu Zhiyi and said coldly, "My sister is kind-hearted and can't bear to eat the meat of those animals. She doesn't want to commit any killing. Letting you eat vegetarian food is also to accumulate merit for you."
"Don't be ungrateful, this is for your own good."
Yu Zhiyi: "..." That's a good explanation.
When she refused to eat meat, the waiters and the manager all looked at her with suspicion.
She was just thinking of what excuse to come up with when the silly boy unexpectedly came up with a good one.
Yes, she's from the Taoist sect, so it's normal for her to be compassionate, right?
She gave Jiang Liuyun an approving look, then looked at the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an and said coldly, "Liuyun is right. Committing fewer killings will only benefit you, not harm you. I am doing this for your own good. If you insist on not listening, you will bear the consequences."
After saying that, he ignored them and said to the shopkeeper, "Bring them this way, with extra rice, so they're all full and won't say I'm mistreating them."
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an: "..."
Do they need this food?!
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled after a long while.
Tolerate!
When he got back, he was determined to tell his mother everything he had seen and heard along the way, so that she would know the true face of this charlatan!
The shopkeeper was a plump woman in her thirties with a kind and honest appearance.
After responding with a forced smile, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes as he turned away.
I thought they would be a flock of fat sheep, but they turned out to be a bunch of poor bastards.
We can't even afford meat.
Damn it.
She's still calling herself a "Miss".
but……
Back behind the counter, she glanced at Yu Zhiyi subtly.
This woman is really beautiful.
She has a good temperament.
If we were to sell her, we could certainly fetch a lot of money.
The problem is the group of guards around her.
Yu San Niang was always cautious in her actions. After glancing at Yu Zhiyi twice, she looked away and, while pondering, turned her gaze elsewhere.
Ordinary people would never suspect the sinister schemes hidden beneath her innocent smile.
Yu Zhiyi sat down facing Yu San Niang, glanced at her face twice, and then quickly looked away.
They actually set their sights on her.
interesting.
Jiang Liuyun sat down next to Yu Zhiyi and whispered, "Sister, is there something wrong with this inn?"
During this time, he had been secretly protecting Yu Zhiyi, so he naturally knew her abilities and understood that she wouldn't make baseless accusations, nor would she be so petty.
My sister's sudden unusual behavior today must mean something's wrong.
At their table sat Yu Zhiyi, Li Rou, and Jiang Yuchuan and his son.
Logically, there should be six people per table, but the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an did not want to sit at the same table with people he disliked. He was worried that he would not be able to resist punching that swindler a couple of times.
Yu Zhiyi naturally didn't care what others thought. Seeing that Jiang Liuyun trusted her so much, she couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you afraid that he really is an arrogant and domineering person?"
Jiang Liuyun snorted: "I know you're not like that, sister. Besides, that guard captain is so annoying, it's perfectly normal for you not to like him."
He immediately opened his two round eyes and looked at her: "What exactly happened?"
