Chapter 412: The Substitute is Found
"You and that Kabei are not from Dakang, right? Tell me! What is your purpose in getting close to Ranran!" Yun Yue frowned and spoke in a fierce tone.
Miao Yi looked at the arrogant Yun Yue standing in front of her, and inexplicably felt that this girl's personality was somewhat similar to her own.
"Speak! What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?" Yun Yue raised her eyebrows.
Miao Yi smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Are you Ranran's fourth sister? You are so fierce, you scared me."
"Stop pretending! What is your purpose?" Yun Yue yelled again.
Miao Yi crossed her arms and curled her lips: "What purpose could I have? Yun Ran has a soft personality and a kind heart. I like her very much."
This is the truth. She really likes Yun Ran more than the moody, cunning and domineering Du Qian.
"But she is not my target." Seeing Yunyue's angry look, Miao Yi suddenly wanted to tease this girl who had a temperament similar to hers.
"Who is that!" Yun Yue clenched her fists and glared at her fiercely.
"It's second brother Yun Ran... Oh, it should also be your second brother, Yun Chenglu." Miao Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"How dare you!" Yun Yue was so angry that she almost hit him. "My second brother is General Zhao's deputy general! If you dare to touch him, you will never leave Dakang!"
Seeing her angry look, Miao Yi chuckled: "What? Why would I touch him? I like him so much."
"Like...like?" Yunyue was stunned.
While she was stunned, Miao Yi went to the lobby in front.
In the lobby, Rong He and Yun Yue found a quiet corner by the window and played chess casually.
Yunhua and her little boy Yun Chengxi were feeding dried meat to the lonely king.
What surprised Yun Ran the most was that her elder brother was actually sitting with her master. The two of them were talking and laughing, and no one knew what they were talking about.
The guests who came to the lobby to eat were all enjoying the delicious food seriously. The bright sunshine shone in through the windows and sprinkled on the ground, making it quiet and warm.
She suddenly felt that this seemed not bad.
At the side, Uncle Chang, who was checking the bill, called her softly, "Little Boss, it's time to serve the new dishes."
Yun Ran came back to his senses and counted the days on his fingers. A month had passed and it was time to serve new dishes.
Their Shanhailou restaurant launches a new dish every month for diners to taste. If the diners respond well, they will consider making this dish a specialty of Shanhailou.
What to do? She frowned and pondered.
She recalled the impromptu dish of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" she had prepared at Yunyue's engagement party in Feishui Village.
Yun Ran curled his lips and smiled, how about this, but I need to make some minor changes.
In the evening, Rong Bing took Rong He and Yun Yue back to the Rong family in the capital. The eldest brother and third sister also left, and Shanhai Tower suddenly became quiet again.
Yun Ran leaned against the door and watched the carriage go away, feeling a little disappointed.
Miao Yi came over at some point and asked, "Did your second brother come back with you when you went home this time?"
Yun Ran nodded: "Yes, but my second brother also took some time to come back. He only stayed for one night and left again after the engagement party."
Miao leaned his hand on his cheek and sighed, "Oh, so busy. I thought he would come back to Kuizhou to see... you."
Seeing her worried look, Yun Ran smiled and said, "I'll be back in a few months. I'll definitely be back during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay then." Miao Yi pouted and played with her hair which she had braided into small braids.
Yun Ran stood up, went into the lobby, took out a small basket, and stuffed it directly into Miao Yi's arms.
"I think you're just too idle, so you have time to think about men! Go buy me a live chicken and some fresh pork."
Miao Yi's eyes lit up: "Are you going to make a new dish?!"
Yun Ran nodded.
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Miao Yi suddenly stood up with the empty basket, rushed to the street with light steps, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ran watched her figure disappear on the street and sighed softly. He had to get busy quickly.
After returning home, she saw Brother Rong and Fourth Sister hanging out together every day, and she started to miss Brother Xiaojing.
As long as two people are together, even if they do nothing and don’t talk, they will feel very happy and very happy.
This is what Yunyue said to her.
So, wanting to see someone and wanting to be with that person, is that love?
If that's the case, then she must like Brother Xiaojing very much.
The last time Ye Jingzhen left in a hurry, she said she wanted to cook for him, but she didn't have time.
I can only wait until the New Year, Yun Ran thought.
On the other side, Miao Yi went to the market as if she was familiar with the place and bought a lively little chicken. She also went to buy a few pounds of fresh pork with fat and meat, and then walked back humming a song.
Yun Ran is a good cook and she loves all the dishes she makes.
The last time Yun Ran tried a new dish, he asked her to help taste it. The shrimp and tender tofu soup was fresh and fragrant, and the tofu was smooth and soft. She couldn't get enough of it.
I don’t know what Yun Ran wants to do this time.
The sky gradually darkened and the pedestrians on the street quickened their pace.
Miao Yi also quickened her pace, wanting to go back quickly and let Yun Ran cook.
Suddenly, a large pale hand stretched out from the narrow alley next to her, grabbed her hard, and dragged her directly into the alley.
Miao Yi felt a chill on her back and all the hairs on her body stood up.
She bit her lower lip, and her hands hidden in her sleeves silently clenched a few poisoned silver needles.
The man was very strong. He grabbed her arm with one hand and pinched her neck with the other. It seemed that if she dared to struggle or call for help, he would use his strength to strangle her to death.
The alley was dark and long, and the man dragged Miao Yi to the end of the alley before stopping.
Taking advantage of the moment he stopped, Miao Yi suddenly attacked and tried to insert the silver needle into the man's throat with swift movements.
However, a low, broken voice rang out: "It's me."
The tip of the silver needle stopped an inch away from the man's pale neck.
"elder brother?"
Miao Yi lost her strength and the man let her go.
Standing in front of her was a young man wrapped in a black robe. His face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes with a faint green glow.
Miao Yi stared at the eyes and frowned slightly.
The man didn't say anything and took off his veil. His pale face was covered with blue veins, which looked weird and scary.
And on his shoulder, there was a big golden snake coiled, it was the snake wizard.
"You...how did you become like this?" Miao Yi took a deep breath, looked at the man like this, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
She hadn't seen the snake witch for several years. The snake witch left Nanlin with a man who claimed to be the prince of Dakang Kingdom, saying that he was going to find a substitute for her sacrifice. Since then, there has been no contact.
The snake witch did not answer her, but said: "Ayi, the substitute... has been found."
