Chapter 456: Very Good, I Can’t Eat Any More
Xie Jingmo said that those who have something to do at home should go back first.
When Fu Hai came out with the wine, he found that no one was missing outside.
Fu Hai swallowed and asked with a smile, "Is there no one among the generals going back?"
Xie Jingmo hummed calmly, "They all want to see how I can catch that heartless, ruthless, and heartless man who abandoned me after having sex with me!"
Fu Hai: “…Ah?”
Xie Jingmo's sharp eyes met Fu Hai's, and Fu Hai's heart skipped a beat, "Hahaha! Are you kidding? Xie...you are still so fond of joking!"
Xie Jingmo didn't laugh.
The night was getting deeper.
Xie Jingmo was still sitting on the first floor. The people around him were originally accompanying him, but Xie Jingmo asked them to leave.
In the end, only Deputy General Gao was left with him.
Deputy General Gao looked at the dark road outside and asked, "Why is Yun Zhao so wild now? It's already so late, and he hasn't come back yet?"
Just as Xie Jingmo was about to speak, someone came hurriedly from outside.
He was surprised to see so many people in the restaurant, but he went straight into the inner hall as he knew the place well.
I guess he went to find Fu Hai.
"Boss," the man came. He was a casual servant from the county lady's household. He usually came to the restaurant with her and was very familiar with the place. After finding Fu Hai, he was about to speak when he saw Fu Hai's eyes widen. "Hahaha! Brother Wang, why are you here? Is it because my wife is greedy again and asked you to come out to buy food?"
Servant, "My last name is not..." Wang...
Before he could finish his words, Fu Hai pulled him aside and poured peanuts into the servant's arms. "There's nothing left in the store today. Go quickly and find another store to eat."
The servant looked confused.
"No, sir, I came to tell you that our young lady said that your master got drunk tonight and slept with the county lady."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hai looked around like a thief, then his dark eyes lit up. "That's great, hurry up and go! Let's go!"
After saying that, he pushed the servant out.
When Fu Hai entered the room, he smiled apologetically at Xie Jingmo, "That... greedy guy, I'll send it back now. My dears, continue eating. If you need anything, call me."
That day.
Xie Jingmo sat on the first floor all night.
Deputy General Gao couldn't hold on any longer and went to sleep in the second half of the night.
Fu Hai was with him, his heart trembling with fear.
When it was almost dawn, Xie Jingmo slowly said, "Meiyu Village, it has a good name, a nice location, and lots of delicious food nearby. Was that why you chose this place?"
After a night of struggle, Fu Hai is now very calm.
He nodded. "Yes, this place is well-connected, with good transportation. It's also famous for its fat fish. When I left, I didn't leave empty-handed. I took a lot of money with me so that I could live comfortably."
Xie Jingmo nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Very good."
Xie Jingmo said, pointing to the private room on the second floor, "Is it suitable for me to sleep there?"
Fu Hai nodded, "It's appropriate."
Xie Jingmo went upstairs. When he waited for others to come up, Fu Hai had a look of despair on his face and rushed out with a knife.
Prepare to go to the county lord's house to inform her.
As a result, just as he took a step forward, he heard Deputy General Gao say, "Boss, you look so excited, strolling around the street so early in the morning, take me with you."
Fu Hai is not blessed, life is miserable: "...Okay."
Deputy General Gao really went to the morning market and was very interested.
Fu Hai was not in the mood and was thinking that Yun Zhao would be back after breakfast.
The huge lie he had concealed all night was about to be exposed.
What should he do?
How to explain to Yun Zhao and how to face Xie Jingmo?
He was pulling out the hair on his head, with a bitter face, feeling like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
Yun Zhao was originally planning to leave, but Chenxiang insisted that the fish was plump today, so she took her to go fishing herself. The chef at home was good at cooking fish, so she asked her to go fishing with him.
Children from wealthy families are full of tricks.
Although it is called fishing, in fact, there are servants all around, the cups are filled with fragrant honey, the plates are filled with exquisite snacks, and even the fish being caught are cooked on the spot.
Yun Zhao lay in the chair and felt that this was life.
She smiled happily.
suddenly--
She felt someone's gaze on her.
She stood up warily and looked around, but all she saw was the rushing river and willow trees swaying in the wind.
"What's wrong?" asked the county lady.
Yun Zhao lay back down and said, "It's okay, it might be an illusion."
Yun Zhao ate fish fillets at the county lady's house, took a nap, and went to see an opera with the county lady.
When going back, the county lady was reluctant to leave and asked Yun Zhao to come again tomorrow.
Yun Zhao sat in a carriage and said goodbye to the county lady while carrying a piece of delicious fish.
The carriage was too big to fit into the alley, so when it was almost at the restaurant, Yun Zhao got out and walked.
Before I even got close.
Then he saw that his own restaurant was brightly lit with candles.
Yun Zhao frowned in confusion, then turned his head to see that the candlelight in his private room on the second floor was also on.
She stopped in doubt.
Fu Hai is a very stingy person on weekdays. When no one is around at night, he only lights two candles.
No one except her, not even the county lord, was allowed to go to her private room without her permission.
Why is it so abnormal now?
Yun Zhao took two steps back and was about to leave when he heard a click behind him.
This voice is very familiar.
It was the sound of the scabbard falling back.
Yun Zhao turned his head and saw Xie Jingmo, who looked cold and expressionless, in the slightly dark sky.
Yun Zhao: “…”
No wonder.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, then raised the piece of fish in his hand. "What a coincidence! Do you want to eat fish?"
Xie Jingmo walked past her without any emotion, "It's a coincidence."
Yun Zhao sighed and followed.
The entire first floor of the restaurant was filled with deputy generals that he once knew. Yun Zhao touched his nose awkwardly.
She complained to Xie Jingmo, "What do you mean? Are you arresting me specifically?"
"How dare you? Who am I now that I would arrest you?" Xie Jingmo glanced at Yun Zhao and turned away unhappily. "I was just passing by on business. I heard someone said there was a good restaurant here, so I came in for a bite to eat. I didn't expect to run into an old friend."
Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
She was quite afraid to hear such burdensome words as Xie Jingmo had been looking for her all these years.
"Really?" Yun Zhao put the fish on the table. "When did you come and when did you leave?"
As soon as these words came out, Yun Zhao clearly felt Xie Jingmo's eyes turn colder. "In a few days."
Yun Zhao nodded, poured himself a cup of tea, and then looked at Xie Jingmo again.
His face did look sick, and there were dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping well, but he looked in good spirits, so it seemed nothing serious was happening.
She felt more relieved, smiled, and pointed at the fish pieces, "Try it, it's delicious. I've never eaten it before, but I tried it today and it was amazing."
Yun Zhao said this and called other deputy generals to come and eat.
Everyone looked at Xie Jingmo who acquiesced and stood up.
Yun Zhao smiled, took a piece himself, and asked them, "Is it delicious?"
"tasty!"
“It’s really delicious!”
“It’s really delicious!”
"It's different from what we ate before."
Yun Zhao smiled and said to Xie Jingmo, "You can try it too. If you like it, I'll have someone bring some back for you when you leave."
Xie Jingmo: "......"
very good.
I can't eat anymore.
