Chapter 248 A Trip to Dongfuju

The Min family's inner courtyard experienced a big storm.

It was past noon when Min Yao left the old lady's yard. When Jiang Wan saw her coming back, she immediately went to greet her with shining eyes.

"Sister Min, how is your stepmother?"

Min Yao smiled and waved his hand to send all the maids out.

"She explained her origins, and my father has written a letter of divorce to her. She is not allowed to take anything out of the house except the things she brought with her when she first entered the house."

Being divorced by the husband's family in this era is very damaging to one's reputation, but that woman totally deserved it.

Jiang Wan had no sympathy at all for the man who wanted to kill him and his mother.

It's better to be driven out of the Min family. Now that she has lost her power, let's see if the Liu brothers will still risk their lives for her.

All in all, her purpose was achieved on this trip today.

"Little Sister Wan, I am so sorry for you and your mother this time, otherwise our family would be a laughing stock. This is the thank-you gift my grandma asked me to prepare for you."

Min Yao took out a hundred taels of silver and put it in Jiang Wan's hand.

It's both a thank you gift and hush money.

Jiang Wan did not refuse. Other doctors had already taken it, but they were different and refused it. The old lady thought they had other intentions.

"Sister Min, we are doing this to protect ourselves. Don't worry, no one will say a word about these things once we leave this door."

"Thank you very much, Sister Xiaowan."

Min Yao smiled sincerely and invited Jiang Wan and others to have lunch at his house.

Jiang Wan refused directly.

There are many rules for dining in wealthy families, but they are the kind of people who don't like rules.

We might as well go to Dongfuju for a good meal. Jiang Wan said a few polite words and left with her mother.

"Mother, let's go to Dongfuju for dinner at this time? It just so happens that Anan and Baozhu haven't been to the restaurant yet, so let's go have a good meal together."

Yin Huaixi naturally nodded.

Baozhu blushed and shyly smiled.

"Master, I just had some cakes and drank a lot of tea in Miss Min's yard, so I'm not hungry yet. You guys eat, don't order mine."

Anan stared at the little sister suspiciously, and asked subconsciously: "Are you full with just a few small pieces of cake? I don't believe it. You can usually eat two or three bowls of rice and drink a bowl of soup, how can that little thing... um..."

Poor Anan had his mouth covered by the blushing Baozhu.

Jiang Wan knew what was going on at a glance.

Baozhu must be worried that eating at Dongfuju will cost a lot of money.

"Mother, I think your little disciple is being distant with us. Didn't we say we are a family?"

Yin Huaixi turned to look at Baozhu with a hurt expression on his face.

Baozhu couldn't bear to see her master unhappy, so she changed her words immediately.

"I'm so hungry, let's go to Dongfuju for dinner!"

The name Dongfuju appeared in the house many times because of its business dealings with Jiang Wan, but it was the first time for Anan and Baozhu to actually walk into the place.

Especially Anan.

Over the years, she had at most sneaked into the next village and had never been to the city. There were so many things she had not seen.

Yin Huaixi felt sorry for his little apprentice and thought that after dinner, he might as well take these kids for a good walk around the city.

"Hey!! Miss Jiang!! Madam Yin!"

The shopkeeper Yu had sharp eyes and recognized people from a distance and came over to greet them with a smile.

"Eh? Shopkeeper Yu? So you've come to Dongfuju."

Jiang Wan had heard that Manager Yu had been dismissed and thought she would never see him again. But she didn't expect the world to be so small and they met again so soon.

"Haha, people always go to higher places. Miss Jiang, please come in."

Shopkeeper Yu knew that the restaurant still traded oyster sauce with Jiang Wan, so he naturally treated the guests with great hospitality.

Not only did he give them the best seats upstairs, he also gave them three signature dishes for free.

All these added up to only a few hundred coins, which was not a big deal for the restaurant. But Jiang Wan felt the kindness and was definitely more fond of Dongfuju.

Shopkeeper Yu was not worried at all that his boss would be angry. If he knew, he would only praise himself.

Miss Jiang doesn't go to the city often, and even if she does, she won't eat at Dongfuju. This is the first time he's met her, so he has to treat her well.

Following the instructions from the shopkeeper Yu, the kitchen staff naturally had to cooperate and quickly served Jiang Wan's table of dishes.

"What? We were the first ones to arrive! Our dishes haven't even been served yet, but theirs have all been served!"

"Xiao Meng! I've told you so many times to keep your mouth shut when you're out there."

The man sitting at the same table immediately scolded the young girl named Xiao Meng, and the girl was so angry that her eyes turned red.

The table next to us was not far away, and the girl spoke so loudly that people at several tables around could hear what she said.

Jiang Wan was a little embarrassed.

She really didn't want to cut in line, but the shopkeeper gave the order downstairs himself, so she didn't know about it.

Now that the dishes are served, I can’t just say sorry I can’t cut in line and return the dishes.

Eat what you need to eat.

Why should a stranger make herself unhappy?

Jiang Wan called Baozhu and Anan to pick up their chopsticks.

Anan was more open-minded, and nothing mattered to him when delicious food was in front of him. He ate with gusto and kept serving food to the other three people.

Seeing how happily they were eating while there was only one dish on her table, Xu Meng suddenly became angry and started crying.

Xu Ling silently picked up a piece of food for his younger sister.

"Isn't this dish already served? Come and eat it."

His voice was a little soft, and only his deskmate Xu Meng could hear it.

"Brother, you are really useless."

Xu Ling paused with his chopsticks and his voice became much colder.

"If you are really angry, you can whip people with a whip like before. Then you will be arrested and locked up by the government. Try it and see if anyone will come to rescue you now."

Xu Meng bit her lip and picked up the chopsticks angrily.

Things are different now. She is no longer the high and mighty daughter of a general, but just an exiled pariah.

If it weren't for my uncle who secretly helped to set things up in Hailing City, they would still be living on coarse food in a remote village.

She couldn't swallow this anger now, but she had to swallow it obediently.

I spent money to eat out today but I have a mission. If I mess it up, I will definitely be punished when I get home.

Now she didn't dare to say anything anymore and just ate the food in her bowl in silence.

The brother and sister ordered three dishes and one soup, which was enough for two people to finish. However, the brother and sister only ate one dish and did not eat the rest.

Even after Jiang Wan's table had left, the two plates of food on their table were still full and had already gone cold.

"Brother, it's already this late, she shouldn't be coming, right?"

Xu Ling didn't say anything. He sat for another half a minute or an hour before finally giving up, asking the waiter to pack up the food and leaving.

If your plan fails today, you have to continue tomorrow.

Thinking about the little money at home, Xu Ling felt a little headache.

Dongfuju, I can't bear to go to my wallet every day. But if I want to get in touch with that girl, only Dongfuju can give me the chance.

We had clearly already made arrangements and she was going to eat at Dongfuju every now and then. Why hadn't she gone in the past two days?
