Chapter 101: Quarrel
In the evening, Lu Sui came out of the palace and happened to meet Duan Yanzhou who was off duty.
"Tomorrow is a day off, let's go have a drink?"
Qingshu beside him hurriedly said, "Master Duan, drink by yourself. The master had a stomachache again yesterday and dared not drink."
"Qingshu, you don't understand this, do you? The old doctor said that most stomach problems are related to emotions. If your master's mood is good, your stomach will naturally feel better."
"You're talking nonsense." Qingshu naturally didn't believe him. He lifted the curtain and waited for Lu Sui to get on the carriage.
Lu Sui stepped onto the carriage and his low voice fell.
"Where are you going?"
Duan Yanzhou raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Where else can we go? Of course it's your Wanhelou. If I can eat for free somewhere, I'd be crazy not to go there."
Lu Sui said nothing, bent down and got into the carriage.
Duan Yanzhou jumped onto his horse and looked at Qingshu who was glaring at him angrily.
"If your master wants to drink, can you still control him?"
"Hmph, if you didn't mention it, the master would naturally not think about it." Qingshu sat on the shaft of the carriage and suddenly thought of something. His originally listless face suddenly came alive again.
Going to Wanhe Tower?
Then you have to go. The girl is there. As soon as the master comes, the girl must take the initiative to go forward to receive him. With this back and forth, the grudges between the two will be resolved and they will be as good as before, right?
Qingshu became more and more beautiful, and she secretly turned back to glance at the carriage behind her.
What I was thinking was that the master actually didn't want to drink.
I guess he's thinking about girls too?
Take this opportunity to see the girl, and then... hehehe...
The carriage left the palace gate and took an hour to reach Jinxiufang.
It was already dark at this moment, and the entire Jinxiufang was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Wanhelou is located in the most prosperous area of Jinxiufang. The lanterns upstairs and downstairs, including those at the main entrance, illuminate the entire restaurant.
The carriage stopped at the door. Qingshu jumped out of the carriage and was about to lift the curtain when a big hand stretched out from inside. The white and slender fingers lifted the curtain. Lu Sui bent down and strode out of the carriage.
Duan Yanzhou was already standing on the steps waiting for him: "Hurry up, I'm hungry."
Lu Sui ignored him and continued walking towards him at his own leisurely pace.
Duan Yanzhou had limited patience. Seeing that he was walking too slowly, he was too lazy to wait for him and entered Wanhe Tower before him.
At this moment, in the lobby, Jiang Yueyao was checking out the guests.
Suddenly she heard someone calling her, and she looked up and saw that it was Duan Yanzhou. Her face, which was originally slightly smiling, immediately smiled.
"Master Duan."
As she spoke, she was turning the abacus in her hand. The crisp 'clicking' sound accompanied by her soft voice was particularly pleasant to the ear.
"Did you just get off duty?"
"That's right. I'm so tired every day." Duan Yanzhou leaned on the counter and couldn't help but praise her when he saw her skillfully checking out and giving change.
"You are becoming more and more like a shopkeeper."
Jiang Yueyao raised the corner of her lips: "If you praise me for other things, I might blush, but I have been doing this job for seven or eight years, so I am naturally skilled at it."
After she finished speaking, she asked him, "You didn't make a reservation, did you? A table in the backyard just happened to be gone—are you alone?"
"How could that be possible?" Duan Yanzhou raised his hand and pointed towards the door, "Your Lord Lu is here too."
Jiang Yueyao turned her head and looked at Lu Sui who walked in from the door, and the smile on her face froze.
Then she looked away and pretended nothing had happened.
"That's perfect. The second room is for two people. I'll take you there."
As she spoke, she turned around from the counter and led Duan Yanzhou to the backyard without even saying anything to wait for Lu Sui.
Duan Yanzhou didn't notice anything unusual at first until he walked through the garden and entered the 'Erguifang'.
He and Lu Sui both sat down. When Jiang Yueyao just looked at him and spoke, he felt something was wrong.
So, he interrupted Jiang Yueyao's unfinished words with a straightforward look on his face.
"Xiao Yaoyao, you used to come here every day but you had no time to pay attention to me. You always followed your Master Lu around, calling him 'Master, Master' affectionately. Why didn't you pay attention to him today?"
Jiang Yueyao, who was trying to ignore Lu Sui, froze when he said that.
"Have I ever been this annoying?"
"Huh?" This time it was Duan Yanzhou's turn to be stunned, "That's not what I meant..."
"It's okay, I don't care." Jiang Yueyao closed the menu in her hand and said, "Let's serve these dishes for now. If they're not enough, please let me know."
After saying that, she turned her waist and left without looking back.
After she left, there was silence in Erguifang for several breaths.
Duan Yanzhou looked at Lu Sui, who was sitting opposite him. His eyes moved around his expressionless face for several times. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and lowered his voice to ask, "Did you have a fight?"
Lu Sui is fine.
He took the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of warm water.
He took two sips, put down the teacup, and then spoke slowly.
"I guess so."
Upon hearing the two quarreling, Duan Yanzhou's eyes lit up again and again: "Why are you quarreling? Is it your problem or hers?"
"Mine." Lu Sui answered very straightforwardly.
"You?" Duan Yanzhou was confused. "How did you offend her? Xiao Yaoyao has such a good temper. What did you do to upset her?"
I was probably annoyed by his questions.
Lu Sui frowned slightly.
"Are you that curious?"
"Of course I have to. Who would have thought that the great Grand Tutor would one day cause a little girl to lose her temper? This is a rare thing. If I tell others about it, I guess no one will believe it."
He said as he moved closer.
"Tell me quickly, what's the reason?"
Lu Sui poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, with a cold expression: "If you ask again, get out!"
"Tsk." Duan Yanzhou took the water cup and looked at him with an unhappy face, "I know it even without you saying it. With a bad temper like yours, who else but me can stand you?"
Qingshu on the side quickly interrupted.
"Master Duan, please don't say such things carelessly. The story between you and the master has already been spread all over the place. If this is heard by others, who knows what will happen next."
Duan Yanzhou looked indifferent.
"Just spread it, I still care about this."
"Besides," Duan Yanzhou teased Qingshu deliberately, "your master is so handsome, has a good figure, is very strong and has great endurance, and earns a lot of money. If we can be together, our lives will be worth it..."
Before he could finish his words, Qingshu rushed over and covered his mouth.
Then he heard Qingshu stammering in explanation.
"Miss, don't listen to what Lord Duan says. My master is very upright and it's impossible for him to like men."
"Really?" A slow female voice came, "Who he likes has nothing to do with me."
"Besides, I think Lady Duan is quite good, with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. She is a good match for your master."
Duan Yanzhou pulled away Qingshu's hand that was covering his mouth.
Turning her head, she watched Jiang Yueyao coming up with a tray, and subconsciously looked at the man sitting opposite her.
Sure enough, his face was gloomy and so dark that water seemed to drip out of it.
It’s over.
He is used to talking too much, and this time he went too far, causing a big misunderstanding.
Xiao Yaoyao, please listen to my explanation----
