scheming
The red oil in the spicy hot pot on the table was boiling, and the white smoke that came out was inhaled into Jin Manyue's nose, choking her and making her tears flow.
On the contrary, Qiu Wuji ate with gusto, but his face was expressionless, which made people feel a little creepy.
Jin Manyue would never have thought that the almighty Prince Heng would actually like spicy food.
In order to please Qiu Wuji, he started blanching the dishes, but there was a bowl of water in front of him, so Jin Manyue had to rinse the dishes in the water first after picking them up.
As soon as she put it in her mouth, the chili peppers immediately danced on her taste buds, and countless complex flavors impacted her soul. Jin Manyue soon couldn't stand it anymore and drank water in big gulps, completely losing her image as a wealthy girl.
Han Yi held back the urge to laugh behind him.
But at this moment, Qiu Wuji still wanted to ask, "How is it?"
Jin Manyue naturally didn't dare to say anything bad, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Very good."
"If you feel better, eat more." The smile on Qiu Wuji's face was fake.
Soon, Qiu Wuji put down his chopsticks. With this woman in front of him, he really couldn't eat.
But he wasn't in a hurry to leave, "Don't waste the rest, Miss Jin, finish it."
Jin Manyue had no words to express her pain and could only swallow all the pain.
Qiu Wuji just sat opposite and watched Jin Manyue eat.
Seeing Jin Manyue's embarrassed look, Qiu Wuji felt a little bored and said to Han Yi, "Han Yi, I'm going out for a while. You stay with Miss Jin."
Hanyi was watching a show when she was suddenly called. Before she could react, she just agreed.
Qiu Wuji came outside and looked down from the second floor. He could see Liu Zaixi and the people beside him at a glance.
The people who were crowding in the lobby just now were forced back by Liu Zaixi with force, and could only peek inside by leaning on the door frame. However, if they wanted to come in, they had to eat.
The booming business made it difficult for Liu Zai Xi to smooth out the curve of his mouth. The people standing in front of him were all walking money.
The corners of Liu Mubai's mouth unconsciously curled up along with Liu Zaixi's. At this moment, as if he had noticed something, he looked up towards the second floor.
When Qiu Wuji saw Liu Mubai noticed him, he smiled and waved his hand, looking very arrogant.
There seemed to be cold arrows in Liu Mubai's eyes, shooting at Qiu Wuji.
Noticing Liu Mubai's strangeness, Liu Zaixi followed Liu Mubai's gaze.
Qiu Wuji immediately changed his appearance. The flower on the high mountain should not be desecrated.
I don’t know why I pretended to be like this in front of Liu Zai Xi.
Liu Zaixi couldn't understand what Qiu Wuji was thinking, but it did bring her a large number of customers. However, her heart was always pounding.
Seeing that Liu Zai Xi no longer looked at him, Qiu Wuji slowly walked down from upstairs.
When Liu Zaixi saw this, the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.
Qiu Wuji walked in front of Liu Zaixi. Liu Zaixi didn't say anything or move.
"Don't ask me why I'm here."
Liu Zaixi thought for a moment and said, "It's so delicious, we welcome every customer, as long as you pay for your meal."
Hearing this, Qiu Wuji suppressed the corner of his mouth. He knew that this woman was very interesting. Once he missed her, he would never meet her again. It just so happened that he had been bored for more than ten years, so he would not let Liu Zaixi go.
"From now on, whenever you open a business, I will come until you are willing to marry me."
After saying this, Liu Mubai slipped a dagger from his sleeve and placed it directly on Qiu Wuji's neck.
Liu Zai Xi was at a loss. What was going on?
But he still quickly stopped Liu Mubai, after all, there were so many people watching outside the door.
"Alright, alright, Xiaobai, it's okay."
Liu Mubai's eyes were filled with bloodshot, but he still restrained himself, put down the dagger, stood in front of Liu Zaixi to block Qiu Wuji's sight.
Liu Zaixi poked his head out from behind Liu Mubai and said, "I'm sorry, my brother is emotionally unstable. You won't refuse to pay because of this, will you?"
"younger brother?"
Liu Zai Xi didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Yes, my brother."
"Brother?"
"yes."
Seeing that Liu Mubai did not refute, Qiu Wuji temporarily acknowledged the relationship.
There is nothing wrong with this relationship for Qiu Wuji.
Han Yi came down with Jin Manyue.
Kim Man-wol's lips were swollen from the spiciness, looking a little funny, but she still tried her best to maintain her image.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jin has finished eating everything."
Qiu Wuji didn't reply and continued looking at Liu Zaixi.
"You really don't want to marry me?"
Jin Manyue, who was behind him, dropped the handkerchief in her hand to the ground, and looked at Qiu Wuji in disbelief.
Then he turned and glared at Liu Zai Xi fiercely.
Liu Zai Xi sighed, knowing that nothing good was going to happen. Now he was going to make enemies.
"I don't like the prince. I hope the prince can find his true love soon."
Qiu Wuji heard the expected answer and turned away.
Jin Manyue stood in the middle of the lobby, twisting the handkerchief in her hand.
His eyes looked as if he wanted to chop Liu Zaixi into pieces, "Miss Liu, I treat you as a friend, is this how you seduce my man?"
The sound was so loud that everyone around looked over.
Liu Zai Xi raised his hands, looking very innocent.
"First, I didn't seduce him. Second, we're not friends. Third, he's not your man."
"Miss Jin, if you've finished eating, please pack up and go home. Your lips are swollen and spicy, which really doesn't look good."
Even though he was so angry that his teeth were itching, he couldn't do anything to Liu Zai Xi, so he had to get on the carriage in shame.
Xiao Zhu came out from the kitchen and had been paying attention to this side. If Jin Manyue dared to do anything to her young lady, she would immediately go up and fight him to the death.
When Liu Zaixi saw Xiao Zhu coming out, he said to Liu Mubai, "I don't know who you are, but you must be very powerful. Can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
Liu Zaixi said seriously: "Protect Xiaozhu, Xiaojia, Xiaoyi and the others. If anything happens to me one day, you, Xiaozhu and the others will split the money and leave the capital."
Liu Mubai didn't expect that Liu Zai Xi said this with the determination to die.
I wanted to say something, but couldn't stop myself, and finally I just said, "Okay."
Xiao Zhu burst into tears and began to persuade Liu Zaixi: "Miss, let's not open the shop anymore, okay? Let's leave the capital."
Liu Zaixi patted Xiaozhu's head as usual. "I might not be able to escape unscathed now. I think he did it on purpose, thinking I would seek his protection. But human pride is not something you can let go of overnight. Jin Manyue must want to kill me now. I just hope he doesn't take his anger out on you."
Just as Liu Zaixi had imagined, Han Yi asked Qiu Wuji in the carriage, "Your Highness, won't this harm Miss Liu? The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely find a way to get rid of Miss Liu."
Qiu Wuji took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, the Prime Minister's Mansion will kill her, but she won't die. The person next to her will protect her, but there's a high probability that she will lose something. Then, for revenge, she will come to me."
Han Yi looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, isn't this too despicable?"
Qiu Wuji looked at Han Yi coldly: "I have never been a good person. I only care about whether I can get what I want."
But why have you never smiled after you got it, Your Majesty?
Han Yi really wanted to ask Qiu Wuji, but she kept her mouth shut.
At night, the shops close and there are only a few pedestrians on the street.
Liu Zai Xi was happily counting money in the yard, Xiao Zhu was still looking sad, and Liu Mubai had the same expression on his face most of the time. If someone saw Liu Mubai at this time, their first reaction would probably be that this person was angry.
Liu Zaixi comforted the two, "Aiyo, life is short, look at it more positively. How can you be sure that they can kill me? I have a long life. Are you sure that I will die?"
Xiao Zhu immediately said “Pooh, pooh, pooh”.
"Miss, please stop talking. It's okay if we don't want to think about it anymore."
Liu Zaixi raised the corners of Xiaozhu and Liu Mubai's mouths, "Life is in the present, just live in the present, be happy."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to our room and get some rest."
Liu Zai Xi had just let her hair down when she saw the door being pushed open.
Xiaozhu came in holding a quilt.
"Miss, can I sleep with you, even though we are masters and servants?"
Liu Zaixi blinked and said, "Okay, but we shouldn't be considered master and servant, but sisters."
Lying on the bed, Xiao Zhu turned sideways and faced inward, not feeling sleepy at all.
On the other hand, Liu Zai Xi had already closed his eyes.
At the hour of Hai, sobbing sounds were heard behind me.
Liu Zaixi opened his eyes, turned his body around, and gently poked Xiaozhu with his finger, "Why are you crying?"
Xiaozhu turned her head, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and the pillow was already wet.
"You're not my lady, are you?"
Liu Zai Xi didn't expect Xiao Zhu to ask this question, but he soon felt relieved. After all, the difference between her and me is so big.
"Yeah, I'm not. I'm from another world and came here by chance."
Xiao Zhu was out of breath: "What about my young lady?"
Liu Zai Xi didn't want to tell the truth to the innocent girl in front of him, but maybe it was time for her to grow up sooner.
"I don't know. Maybe she's already dead. I just replaced her soul in this body."
Xiao Zhu was speechless. She cried for a while and then stopped sobbing.
"In fact, I already knew that you were not my lady."
Liu Zai Xi was stunned.
"My lady doesn't like spicy food, can't cook, and isn't as brave as you."
"But I still like the young lady, but I also like you. You are very good to me, just like a young lady, so no matter who you are, I don't want to let another young lady go."
Liu Zaixi listened to Xiaozhu quietly, her eyes moist. Since her parents died, no one has ever treated her so sincerely.
Liu Zaixi hugged Xiaozhu and said, "No, we will be fine."
Xiao Zhu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
The sound alarmed Liu Mubai who was next door. Thinking that he had encountered some danger, he immediately broke into the house.
Xiao Zhu was crying happily when she was suddenly interrupted and forgot what she was doing.
"Hey, Xiaobai, why are you here? Do you want a hug too?"
Liu Mubai knew that he was being rude and his face turned red under the moonlight.
"I'm sorry, I thought—"
Liu Zaixi got out of bed barefoot and hugged Liu Mubai: "Thank you too for protecting the store. You've all worked hard. Let's stay together from now on."
It's just a short sentence, nothing special, but it touches the heart.
Liu Mubai hugged Liu Zaixi back. This was the first time Liu Mubai took the initiative to express himself.
