Chapter 133 That's the smell of vinegar
It would be strange if Xiao Muheng had no ill intentions. Wasn’t the bloody lesson he learned in his previous life tragic enough?
Ah Man walked forward with a fierce face and pushed the man away fiercely. Lu Xiang walked past him to the private room with a gloomy face. The coldness in his deep eyes was like thousands of unmelted glaciers, and deep in his eyes was suppressed hatred that was about to burst out.
"Miss, are you okay?" Ah Man asked nervously.
Lu Xiang took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily: "It's okay, I just felt a little bad when I met someone I disliked."
Disgusting person!
Ah Man remembered Xiao Muheng deeply, and her pink fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.
"Miss, what do you need to eat?" the waiter asked with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
The girl looked young, but was as pretty as a flower. It was understandable that she met a lecher who wanted to approach her and talk to her. They opened the door to do business, and it was not convenient for them to interfere in the affairs of the customers.
"Drunken duck, roasted pigeon, two of your signature dishes, and a random vegetable. Serve these dishes slowly, and serve the pot of Longjing tea first." Lu Xiang said.
The waiter responded, "Okay, wait a moment, young lady."
As soon as the tea was served, Chu Jinyan pushed the door open and walked in.
Lu Xiang turned his head and saw that the corners of his eyes were slanted, his black pupils were full of light, his spirit was dazzling, and his whole body was wrapped in a sharp and powerful aura.
"Why did you arrive so early?" Chu Jinyan asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Xiang smiled slightly: "I have a request to make, so I dare not be late. The Eighth Prince came down very early as well."
This was a cup of tea earlier than the time they had agreed on.
Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang helplessly and said, "How can I ask a girl like you to wait for me? I don't want you to arrive earlier."
Lu Xiang laughed and asked Ah Man to notify the waiter to serve the dishes.
Chu Jinyan quietly enjoyed Lu Xiang's arrangement. He supported his forehead with one hand. His movements were casual and leisurely, yet they made people feel noble.
After Lu Xiang finished giving his instructions, he asked, "What can I do for you?"
Lu Xiang poured a cup of tea for Chu Jinyan and held it in front of him with both hands. The corners of her curved mouth contained a well-behaved and sweet smile, which made Chu Jinyan feel sweet in his heart.
Although this girl is pretending.
"Your Highness granted me three requests at the beginning. Now I come to ask for the first grace." Lu Xiang said.
"Tell me about it." Chu Jinyan took the teacup and took a sip.
Well, the tea she brews is always very fragrant.
Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "A few days ago, the son of the Yongyi Marquis had a conflict with someone in a brothel over a prostitute. During the scuffle, he accidentally hit his head on a stone and died on the spot. The Dali Temple arrested the person who had the conflict with him and sentenced him to beheading. This was an accident, but because the person who died was the son of the Yongyi Marquis, the Yongyi Marquis put pressure on the Dali Temple to avenge his beloved son."
"Hmm? So you want to save the person who had a conflict with Cao Wende?" Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang with deep eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"
If you taste it carefully, you can smell a sour smell coming from him.
That's the smell of vinegar.
"The son of one of my uncles." Lu Xiang thought Chu Jinyan was just curious, so he said, "There were many people at the time of the dispute. It's hard to say who pushed Cao Wende or if he just slipped and fell. But the young men who went to the brothel with Cao Wende were all from prominent families. Marquis Yongyi didn't dare to pursue them, but he had to find an outlet to avenge his beloved son. Ordinary people with no power and influence became the targets of his anger."
"Why haven't I heard that Minister Lu has a younger brother?"
"He's not my father's brother."
"Are you familiar with this uncle's son?" Chu Jinyan asked again.
"I've never seen it, but I was entrusted with a task." Lu Xiang said blankly.
Your Highness, have we strayed off topic?
"Yeah." Chu Jinyan's mood suddenly became much happier: "If you exchange a request for a life, the other party will owe you a great favor. Is he very useful?"
"Hehe." Lu Xiang smiled slyly: "It's not a loss anyway."
"It's rare that you ask me for help." Chu Jinyan smiled softly, his voice was deep and touching: "I'll send the person out to you the day after tomorrow or New Year's Eve at the latest."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Somehow, Lu Xiang felt her ears were a little itchy and slightly hot, so she subconsciously touched them.
The waiter served the dishes. Yuanfeng brought them in and did not let the waiter stay at the door for long. His face was as cold as a demon, so the waiter did not dare to ask any more questions.
Yuanfeng was standing guard at the door, his complaints about Sheng Xian gathering into a river in his heart.
I never had such a good relationship with him and A'man before. He would even follow them to the pharmacy to buy things, and he was trying to get information for his master. Bah, it's obvious that this bastard is just lazy.
"Ah Man, you...ah..."
Ah Man came out of the pharmacy and suddenly someone rushed over from the side and called her. She was so scared that she jumped up and punched him.
Sheng Xian covered his eyes that were hit and glared at her with a look of grief and anger.
"Are you blind? You beat people without even looking." Did this girl take a power pill? How come she became even stronger? She hit him so hard that it hurt him to death.
Ah Man finally understood who the person was, but he didn't feel guilty at all: "You wanted to get beaten up, you blame me?"
Wouldn't it be better to show up properly? You had to scare me like this, you deserve it.
Sheng Xian: “…”
This girl is stupid, he can't bother with her.
"I heard you buying croton seeds with the waiter. What do you want to do?" Sheng Xian hissed in pain, followed Ah Man closely and asked.
Ah Man quickly ran to the restaurant: "I'm constipated, is there a problem?"
When Sheng Xian heard this, his handsome face suddenly became constipated.
How could he have so much free time to come and discuss the problem of constipation with this damn girl?
Ah Man returned to the restaurant and did not go to the third floor. Instead, she pulled the waiter who had just led them to the third floor to a corner.
The waiter looked at Ah Man with a confused expression.
Ah Man's eyes were black and bright, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her face was pretty. At this moment, she was standing in front of him with a smile on her face, which made the waiter dizzy.
"What's wrong with you, girl?"
"Has the food of the gentleman who talked to us on the third floor been served?"
The waiter blushed and said, "Not yet. I'm just about to serve the food."
Ah Man's smile deepened when she heard this. She handed a silver ingot to the waiter and said, "Please do me a favor. Let me serve him the food later."
The waiter took the silver and gave Ah Man a meaningful look.
It seems that this girl has other ideas. She is taking the opportunity of serving the dishes to show off in front of the young man in an attempt to climb up the rich ladder.
"Miss, this is not good. If that young man holds me accountable, I will lose my job." The waiter said in embarrassment.
As he finished speaking, Ah Man stuffed two more silver ingots into his hand.
"If we really want to hold someone accountable, I'm the one who's at fault. Just pretend you don't know. If you don't do it, I'll find someone else."
"Okay, then you wait for me here and don't make any noise." The waiter said and went to the back hall.
This is the corner between the back hall and the main hall. Guests will not go here. Even if someone sees it, they will only subconsciously think that it is a maid from the master's household coming down to give other instructions.
