Chapter 246 Invincible
"None of your business. Who I choose is my business, what's it to you?"
A man she had only met a few times started interfering with everything she said, showing no sense of propriety or tact. Whenever Song Chunxue spoke to him, it was like setting off a firecracker.
"Could you..."
"Could I please not appear in front of you?" Mei Yang's smile faded, and she looked very disappointed. "I didn't know you were here before; I only found out by asking around."
"..." Your face changes so quickly, is it like a turtle shedding its skin?
"The reason I know you have close ties with Lord Xie is because I've been keeping an eye on him these past few days to make sure he's not harmed by others, and I happened to see him leaving your house in the middle of the night..."
Song Chunxue lowered her voice, "Shut up, what you're saying will cause misunderstandings. We just had a few drinks together."
Mei Yang laughed, "Then why are you feeling guilty? No matter what you did, it's inevitable that people will overthink things if a man and a woman are alone in the courtyard for an entire afternoon."
Oh!
Song Chunxue put her hands on her hips and said, "Yes, I've got my eye on him. I don't like anyone else. If you know what's good for you, just pretend you don't know me."
"I don't think so. Even if you're interested in him, you spent so much time together yesterday, but there wasn't a hint of lust on your face. You definitely haven't slept together yet..."
"Bang!"
Song Chunxue blushed and, in a fit of anger, grabbed a gourd ladle from the side and slammed it hard on his head.
"Hiss..." Mei Yang raised his hand and touched the top of his head, his features almost scrunched up. He rubbed the faint red on his fingertips. "Sister-in-law, you have a cruel heart. You knocked my head open."
"..." Damn it, he thinks he can justify himself no matter what, right?
It's also her fault for not being calm enough. It's just that she encountered a shameless person, why did she have to get so worked up?
Now that she's smashed someone's head, it's still her fault in the end.
However, she didn't expect herself to be so strong.
It's just a gourd ladle, how could it bleed?
Could it be that he has a hole in his brain?
"Sister Song, what happened? What happened?"
Yao Man was pulled out by the waiter and saw the guests pointing and whispering about Song Chunxue and Mei Yang, while Mei Yang looked like he was seriously injured. She was both nervous and amused.
"Manager Yao, it's alright. It's my fault for speaking carelessly and making Sister Song angry, so she knocked on it," Mei Yang said, picking up the broken water ladle. "You should replace this one. It's so brittle, yet you still come to buy wine."
Yao Man's gaze shifted back and forth between Song Chunxue and Mei Yang.
"Don't go! Our tavern is opening today. Come in and have a seat. The prices are low. What would you like to eat, Master Mei? I'll have the kitchen cook you a couple of dishes."
At this point, Yao Man tugged at Song Chunxue's sleeve, "Since you've made someone's head bleed, shouldn't you apologize?"
"Pah..." Seeing Mei Yang raise an eyebrow, Song Chunxue changed her tune, "Fine, let's sit down and talk things out. I'll treat Brother Mei to a drink to apologize."
Mei Yang is someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. If she makes things too ugly, she will be the one who suffers in the end.
Yao Man led them to the inner room, and soon Xiao Liu cleared the table and brought out wine and dishes.
They then thoughtfully closed the door, as if afraid someone might disturb them.
A moment later, Song Chunxue realized that Yao Man probably knew Mei Yang was involved in a gang and didn't want her to offend anyone.
Song Chunxue calmly poured him a glass of wine. "Speak normally in the future. Don't provoke me or test me, or next time I'll be holding a stone brick instead of a water ladle."
Mei Yang laughed, "I knew you wouldn't say nice things, but I didn't expect you to threaten me. Sister Song, you're pretty tough."
"I'm not as tough as you. I'm usually easygoing, but I don't like to joke around with people. I just can't take a joke. Next time, speak properly and I promise I won't hit you."
"Pfft..." Mei Yang laughed out loud, "Cheng, I can tell you're really clueless about romance."
Seeing that his wine was empty, she poured him another.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head out now. Enjoy your drink, this meal is on me, don't be shy."
Mei Yang raised her hand to block her, putting down the chopsticks she had just picked up. "Why are you running?"
"I don't want to be misunderstood."
She felt extremely uncomfortable being in the same room as him.
This must be what is called a clash of personalities.
"So, you and Lord Xie aren't afraid?"
"Yes, Lord Xie is a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), and he never oversteps his bounds in his speech." Since he was so insistent, she decided to be more explicit.
"Then you'll have to finish your drink with me. Otherwise, it'll be so embarrassing for you to just leave like this. You'll be making Manager Yao drink with you, but she probably won't be able to today."
To save face, Yao Man would definitely have to accompany him.
As the second-in-command, she couldn't cause trouble for others.
She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of the pork and radish stir-fry; it tasted rather unpleasant.
Isn't this a waste of ingredients?
She tasted the chef's food last time, and it wasn't like this.
"It doesn't taste good, does it? I heard everyone talking about this dish earlier. I don't know what the chef was thinking. Stir-fried pork with white radish, it would be better to make radish and pork rib soup instead."
"Then I'll tell Manager Yao later."
Mei Yang became much more serious and drank two cups without saying a word.
"What have you been busy with these past few days? Haven't you gone to check on the fields?"
"Go again in a few days."
"Your outfit looks great, is it new?"
“…” Song Chunxue glanced at him, “Hmm.”
"She's becoming less and less like a farmer; this outfit makes her look even more delicate. I really want to marry her."
"..." Her chopsticks paused, and she looked at him coldly.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but speak my mind. Please don't take offense, Sister Song." Mei Yang sighed. "Scholars are reserved, but I'm a rough man and don't know how to hide my true feelings."
"I'm not like that with other women, I never..."
"I saw you putting your arm around someone's neck that day, and I also saw you trying to kiss that young wife's lips. You're not a decent person, so stop trying to make yourself look good."
"I..." Mei Yang opened her mouth, but finally laughed out loud and compromised, "Yes, yes, Sister Song is right to reprimand me, I will change in the future."
“No need. We have no relationship. If I were a man, I would also want to have three wives and four concubines. I don’t need to make things difficult for myself.” Song Chunxue smiled slightly. “Isn’t it a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive? The reason I don’t want to associate with you is that I have absolutely no interest in men.”
"So what are you interested in?"
Song Chunxue thought for a moment, then said, "Money."
"From now on, I'll make money for you."
Hearing his shameless words, Song Chunxue was no longer surprised.
"No need, I prefer to be self-reliant."
Mei Yang poured her a glass of wine. "Have a drink. I know you like to drink."
I have no idea.
“You just swallowed your saliva. Besides, the wine that Lord Xie bought yesterday was for you to drink.”
Song Chunxue glanced at him indifferently.
"Alright, alright, I know, I shouldn't have said it out loud," Mei Yang said, raising his glass. "If we can't be husband and wife, we can still be brothers."
"No need, it's obvious they have ill intentions."
"Haha, Sister Song really doesn't give anyone any face. Maybe I'm just a bit of a jerk. I actually feel pretty good when I hear Sister Song scolding me."
