Liang Wushuang also turned around and saw that the teahouse was so quiet. She couldn't help but wonder who was causing such a big commotion. She didn't dare to move and stopped by the stairs.
A man walked in from outside the door. He was tall, wearing a scarlet python robe, a gold-woven flying fish robe, and a black crane cloak. He had a handsome and feminine appearance, and it was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous. However, his expression was cold and sharp, and his aura was terrifying, which made people shudder and feel fear when they looked at him.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Supervisor Cheng of the Imperial Household Department had great power and was allowed by the Emperor to wear a dragon robe. The timid tea drinkers in the hall were trembling with fear, and no one dared to raise their heads to peek at the man who came in.
Yang Jiyan had never met Cheng Ying in her previous life. After she married into the Zhou family, as a wife of the Zhou family, her status was not high enough for her to have the opportunity to meet the powerful Governor Cheng.
But the only one in the world who could wear the python robe and flying fish robe, which was second only to the dragon robe, was Cheng Dugong.
A man as powerful as Cheng Dugong would actually come to this small teahouse for Liang Wushuang. It shows that she really found the right person. Liang Wushuang is indeed very favored by Cheng Ying.
Yang Jiyan subconsciously looked towards Liang Wushuang, but saw several people about to come down the stairs behind Liang Wushuang. When she saw Yu Qizhe's familiar face, Yang Jiyan subconsciously lowered her eyes and hid behind a maid beside her.
After Yu Jiao and the others came to meet up with Yu Qizhe, they sat on the second floor and drank two cups of tea. The commotion on the first floor only happened a moment ago, and no one on the second floor was aware of it.
Just after going down two steps, Yu Qizhe noticed something unusual in the tea room on the first floor. He raised his hand slightly and stopped several people from going downstairs.
When Lu Jin saw Cheng Ying in the scarlet python robe and flying fish suit, his face suddenly changed, and he said to the others in an inaudible voice, "It's the governor of the East Factory."
Liu Yaoyu took a deep breath and clenched Yu Jiao's hand with some fear. She was the only official lady among the three who grew up in the capital. Naturally, no one knew Cheng Ying's name better than her. Because of her father, she knew a lot about the rumors about how cruel and merciless Cheng was and how his mood was unpredictable.
Yu Fuling had a look of ignorance and fearlessness on her face, but she also noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn and cold, as if it was suffocating her.
"Come here." Cheng Ying walked slowly and stopped, his cold white fingers stretched out from the wide scarlet hem of his clothes. His broad palms were like fine jade, but the jade was warm, while his cold white hands seemed to exude a cold and harsh aura.
His tone was feminine, and although it was a gentle tone, it made people sound like a poisonous tongue spitting out information, making people tremble with fear for no reason and send a chill down their spine.
The people in the hall had no idea who he was talking to, and they all quietly raised their heads and looked in the direction Cheng Ying was pointing.
Lu Jin also looked in the direction where Cheng Ying stretched out her hand, and then he noticed Liang Wushuang. Emotions were surging in his eyes. Yu Qizhe pressed his arm imperceptibly, and Lu Jin silently smiled bitterly.
Under such circumstances, he certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to not care about the consequences.
Liang Wushuang had no idea that Lu Jin was watching her from behind.
She didn't expect that the person coming in would be Cheng Ying, but then she thought that Cheng Ying was the Director of the East Depot, so it must be him. Apart from Director Cheng, who else could make the East Depot's servants clear the way and make these people in the teahouse so frightened, respectful and fearful?
Everyone admires the strong, and Liang Wushuang is no exception.
Cheng Dugong is such a powerful and feared man that women would undoubtedly be willing to serve him even if he was a eunuch.
What's more, such a cold and heartless person is only good to her, and this kind of favoritism is something that others can never get.
When Liang Wushuang thought of this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright smile, and he walked towards Cheng Ying with light steps.
"Why are you here?" Liang Wushuang, with a pretty face like a flower, placed her hand on Cheng Ying's palm and said softly.
Cheng Ying glanced at Lu Jin on the stairs inconspicuously. Even though this man was looking up at others, he did not feel inferior to him.
He tightened his grip on Liang Wushuang's hand slightly, and Liang Wushuang's face changed. Cheng Ying's strength was too great, and it hurt her wrist, but she didn't dare to show it.
"I don't like to repeat what I said a second time." Cheng Yingwen's tone was gentle, but his words were far from tender. "I don't like people who can't remember what I said. Such people are really not obedient."
Such a gentle tone reminded Liang Wushuang of that day in the study. She felt cold all over. She could not care about pretending to speak softly and said hastily, "I have not forgotten. I remember everything the governor said."
Cheng Ying stroked her cheek with his fingers and patted her delicate cheek. His tone was still gentle, without any anger. "Then you have to tell me, who are you going to meet in this teahouse today?"
Liang Wushuang quickly shook her head and said in a weak and fearful voice, "No one! I was bored in the yard, so I came to the street to relax. I passed by this teahouse and came in to sit for a while."
Cheng Ying chuckled, and his handsome face became even more gorgeous and charming. Everyone in the teahouse was stunned by his gaze, with astonishment in their eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Governor Cheng was in a high position and had great power, this group of people would have stared infatuatedly.
In fact, no one dared to stare at it for too long, for fear that one more glance would cost them their life.
