After Nanling and Lu Qian came up, Zhou Quan and Li Mai sat together and introduced themselves to Yun Chang and Nanling.
Nanling knew about Yun Chang, Chu Yan, Zhong Hui, and others when she was in the capital. They were all people who had helped Li Mai, and she was naturally grateful to them.
She had met Chu Yan and Zhong Hui, and had treated them to meals, but she had never met Yun Chang.
Upon seeing this young general, who had been granted the title of a prince of a different surname in his youth, Nanling nodded secretly. This man was no ordinary person; at such a young age, he had earned a lifetime of wealth and honor through his own strength.
He became Xiaomai's godbrother, something she never dared to dream of before.
After the two got to know each other, Yun Chang personally poured Nan Ling a cup of tea:
"I am very grateful to Miss Nan for her care and help to my sister in the past. If Miss Nan encounters any difficulties in the capital that I can help with, please send someone to call me and I will do my best."
Nanling quickly stood up to thank Yun Chang, "Your Highness Yun, you're too kind. I received more help from Xiaomai, so I should thank my sister more!"
When Li Mai heard Ling Jie call her elder brother Yun Wang, she coughed lightly and looked at Lu Qian. Sure enough, she saw Lu Qian looking at Yun Chang in disbelief.
After Yun Chang and Nan Ling exchanged pleasantries and sat down, they met Lu Qian's incredulous gaze.
He glanced around at everyone in the private room. Oh, Lu Qian was the only outsider here, and he didn't tell him his identity.
Therefore, he waved his hand at Lu Qian, "Identity is not important. Here, I am just Xiaomai's older brother and your good friend Yun Chang."
Lu Qian swallowed hard and quickly replied, "Yes."
Father, I've made something of myself! I've actually become friends with the Prince of Yun.
He naturally knew who the Prince of Yun was; there was only one prince of a different surname in the capital, and he was a young general.
Actually, when he first met Yun Chang, he had guessed that he might be the King of Yun, but he felt that it was absolutely impossible. The King of Yun should be either attending court every day or protecting the dynasty on the border!
I never imagined he really was the Cloud King, and also Li Mai's older brother!
My God, isn't Li Mai the sister of the King of Clouds?
No wonder this woman is so capable and amazing!
But that doesn't make sense. If she's the sister of the King of Yun, how could she marry Zhou Quan, a cripple? He remembered that after getting to know her better, he also learned that Zhou Quan was a cripple when Li Mai married him.
He thought Zhou Quan's leg had been broken by Li Mai, but luckily he didn't ask out loud.
However, he couldn't figure these things out, and he didn't dare to ask. Now that he knew Yun Chang's identity, he could only be careful and absolutely could not do or say anything wrong in front of him, otherwise he might lose this most precious friend in his life.
Li Mai glanced at Lu Qian and said, "You can't tell anyone about my brother's identity, including your family. If my brother's identity becomes known in this town, then the Lu family's wealth will come to an end."
Lu Qian cares most about the fact that the Lu family is now the number one family in the town. Li Mai used this to scare him, saying that if his older brother wanted to live here quietly for a year, his identity could not be revealed.
"I understand, I won't tell. I know he won't have any peace if his identity is exposed, but we're friends now!"
After Lu Qian finished speaking, he pursed his lips and glanced at Li Mai, "You're just trying to scare me!"
Li Mai smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. You're good at everything, except you're a coward."
Lu Qian covered his forehead, not wanting to talk to this woman. He glanced back at Zhou Quan and said, "Control your woman. All she does is bully me every day."
“My wife is great. She’s telling the truth. Can’t you even let someone tell the truth?” Zhou Quan glanced at him indifferently and poured tea for his wife.
Lu Qian: ......
He doesn't have a wife, he can't afford to get hurt!
Where's Xiaotao? Why isn't Xiaotao coming over yet?
"I'll go arrange the meal; you all have some tea first." After talking for a while, seeing that it was noon, Lu Qian stood up and went out to arrange the meal.
Li Mai followed him out and gave him instructions: "Bring one of each of the restaurant's signature dishes, and also arrange lunch for the waiters in my restaurant. Xiao Tao will be coming over for lunch in a little while."
“Okay!” Lu Qian agreed.
"Also, bring out a few jars of good wine, let's drink to our hearts' content today!"
"Okay!" Lu Qian went to make the arrangements.
Just as Li Mai was about to go back, four people came up the stairs.
The waiter led the way. When he saw Li Mai, he smiled politely at her, nodded, and walked past her.
The three people behind them, one walking in front and two following behind, clearly identified themselves as a master with two guards. They went directly to the room next to Li Mai's residence without even looking at her.
Li Mai's gaze fell on that person, who was wearing clothes from her own shop.
And this person, this aura, is very similar to the person she sensed watching them from across the street.
Li Mai squinted, a possibility suddenly occurred to her, she raised an eyebrow, and returned to the private room.
She and Zhou Quan made eye contact, and she gestured towards the next room. Zhou Quan understood and listened carefully to the sounds coming from next door.
After sitting down next to him, Yu Ze casually asked the waiter, "Brother waiter, is the customer next door from this town? The girl at the door looked familiar."
"Yes, sir, that lady just now was the owner of the Red Pomegranate Clothing Shop next to our restaurant. The clothes you're wearing are from her shop. I suppose you've run into her when you went shopping for clothes before!" the waiter said while making tea for them.
"Oh, I see. That's why it looked familiar. Thank you, waiter. Please give me one of all your signature dishes." Yu Ze said generously.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment!" the waiter said politely before leaving.
After he left, Yu Ze's guard whispered, "Master, there are about seven or eight people next door, and Miss Nan is there too."
"Okay, I got it. Let's eat first. We've been traveling all this way and haven't had a proper meal yet. Let the others come up and eat with us!" Yu Ze said casually.
"Yes!" the guard Yu Feng replied and left.
The Yu family mainly deals in jade, with shops in various places. They also run their own security escort agency to safely deliver their goods to the shops.
The escort agency is the only legitimate way to support martial arts masters.
Therefore, the Yu family's escort agency has been established for decades, and they almost never take on outside business, only escorting jade artifacts for their own family.
The Yu Family Escort Agency employs many skilled individuals, among whom the most well-known are the chief escort, Yu Gou, and his sixteen gold escorts and eighteen silver escorts.
As for the 108 Heavenly Escorts and Earthly Escorts secretly maintained behind the scenes, each of them possessed extremely high martial arts skills, and they were distributed among the various branch escort agencies of the Yu family.
The Yu family is wealthy, and even with so many experts at their disposal, they cannot shake the Yu family's foundation in the slightest.
