"Is this king scary?"
Han Ting suddenly spoke, his tone slightly raised, which made everyone braver.
Father Xu said quickly: "Eat, everyone, eat, don't be polite."
The dishes were served one after another quickly. Each person had a bowl of sea cucumber soup, and then:
Braised chicken with abalone.
Stir-fried swimming crab with scallions and ginger.
Steamed grouper.
A seafood version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Boiled nine-segment shrimp.
Steamed scallops with garlic sauce.
Steamed red flower crab.
Large oysters with garlic sauce.
…
Xu Jinyi was very satisfied with the dish. He not only earned money but also enjoyed a satisfying meal.
Couldn't be more satisfied.
Han Ting knew Xu Jinyi's hobby, so as soon as the dish came, he started to fix his sleeves out of habit.
Then he peeled the shrimps, gave Xu Jinyi a big oyster, and a yellow swimming crab.
The oysters were plump, flavorful, and large in size. One alone would not be enough to satisfy you, but there were only ten on the table. With Han Ting there, all five went into Xu Jinyi's stomach.
This is seafood. Although they are all officials, they don’t eat this kind of seafood often. They watched as all five oysters went into Xu Jinyi’s stomach.
Everyone was filled with regret, and even the few remaining ones didn't dare to move.
After all, who would dare to touch the one the Regent has set his eyes on? It's not like he wants to die.
"These oysters are cooked very well. Ask the kitchen to serve another plate to each table." Han Ting said.
Minister Xu's heart was bleeding as he calculated how much it would cost to add a plate of oysters to each table.
I don’t know if it’s because there were fewer ships going out to sea in ancient times and even fewer people fishing, but seafood was abundant, so these swimming crabs are so big, as if they have taken hormones.
Each crab weighs more than one kilogram, and the crab roe is even more delicious.
The guests were satisfied and happy with the meal. After all, they had watched a great show and eaten delicious food today.
During the meal, Han Ting was serving dishes to Xu Jinyi. All the delicious food went into Xu Jinyi's stomach, making her full.
As the guests left one by one, Xu Jinyi received another hint from her mother, but she pretended not to notice and took a sip of tea.
Mother Xu was so angry that when she thought of her eldest son, she spoke to the Regent timidly even though she was a coward.
"I heard that people from Medicine King Valley have come to the capital. I wonder if the Regent has received the news. Could you please help find out for Xiao Jin's sake?"
"No!" Han Ting said firmly, looking at Xu's mother with cold eyes.
The powerful aura made the Xu family members breathe more lightly and they didn't dare to speak again.
When he stood up to leave, his whole family stood up to see him off.
But Han Ting just stared at Xu Jinyi: "I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Xu Jinyi nodded: "Don't be so early, I'm sleepy."
"good."
Seeing that Xu Jinyi didn't get up to see people off, Xu's father kept winking at her, but she pretended not to see it.
After everyone left, Xu's mother took the initiative to attack: "Why didn't you speak up for your eldest brother just now? If you asked the Regent to find someone, he would definitely agree."
Xu Jinyi: "It's none of my business!"
Xu's mother glared at him and said, "That's your brother!"
"That's Xu Jingwan's brother. What does he have to do with me? And I remember the day I came back, you so-called family members loudly said that you would never recognize me as your daughter or sister."
"What are you talking about? You only recognize Xu Jingwan. What does Xu Qingyan's face have to do with me?"
When Mr. Xu heard what Xu Jinyi said, he finally understood that Xu Jinyi completely hated them.
"Didn't you say you had no relationship with the Regent?"
Xu Jinyi blinked innocently: "It doesn't matter, what relationship do I have with him?"
"Xu Jinyi, you are the daughter of our Xu family. Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you marry the Regent. He is the Regent. Even if you marry him in the future, you will still have to rely on your family, right?"
“Sometimes, you have to give yourself some wiggle room when doing things!”
Xu Jinyi glanced at them with disdain: "Maternal family? Do I have one? I don't seem to be listed in the family tree."
Hearing this, Father Xu's expression softened a bit. "You're angry about this, right? Tomorrow, I'll have the clan leader put you on the family tree."
"No need, so as not to upset your precious daughter, and I don't bother to be on the family tree."
Father Xu's face was grim. "Wanwan is your sister-in-law now, and those things in the past are in the past. Can't you stop holding on to them? Without your family, do you think the Regent will be interested in you as an orphan?"
Xu Jinyi looked at him coldly: "Do you believe that a single word from me can make you retire and return home?!"
"You dare!!" Father Xu stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
“You can try!”
When had Father Xu ever been so angry? "Get out! Get out of here! I want to see if the Regent will still look down on you after you leave the Shangshu Mansion!"
Xu Jinyi raised his eyebrows and said, "I've been tired of living here for a long time. I just don't know if you will beg me to come back after I leave."
Father Xu: "Xu Jinyi, don't think you can rest easy just because you've become the Prince Regent. I want to see what happens when you get tired of being played with."
"Even if you die kneeling at the door, I will never let you in."
"Okay, now that you've said it so loudly, you should write me a letter of severance, so that when I become successful in the future, you guys won't come to my house to ask for money."
Xu's father was so angry that he wrote a letter of severance and threw it away.
Xu Jinyi took a look and put it away after finding no problem.
"Bingxin, let's go, pack up your things and leave."
Xu's mother stood up and said, "You are not allowed to take anything belonging to the mansion. Since you are not my daughter, the dowry is not yours."
"Don't worry, I'll only pack my own clothes. I'll return the money if you want."
Xu's mother: "You are not thinking of going to the Regent, are you? A woman who comes to you on her own initiative will not be cherished."
"The cost of living in the capital is not something you can afford by practicing medicine and cheating people."
Xu Jinyi waved his hand and asked Bingxin to pack up her things. Then, under the gaze of Xu's mother, he slowly took out a stack of banknotes.
"Thirty-eight tables of banquets, six thousand eight hundred taels per table. How much is that? I wonder if it's enough to buy a big house in the capital."
A bloody taste rose in Xu's father's throat: "The Regent actually gave you so much money?"
Looking at Xu Jinyi's face, Xu's father suddenly felt that he had made a wrong decision.
For some reason, he always felt that he would be the one to regret it in the future.
"It seems to be more than that. Han Ting said that his money is mine. The money in the palace is mine, the money in his pocket is mine, and even his life is mine."
Ignoring Xu's father's horrified look, Xu Jinyi walked away with graceful steps.
When he was about to speak to persuade him to stay, Xu Jinyi stopped him: "Sir Shangshu, please don't ask me to stay. It's very embarrassing. Understand?"
After Xu Jinyi left, Minister Xu slapped Xu's mother in the face.
