Meng Qixue had to deal with the troublemaking guests for a day, and was exhausted when she returned to the princess's mansion. However, there were still people who were not interested and chased her to the door of the house to cause trouble for her.
The visitor is Shu Yiyan’s neighbor, a girl named Meihua.
Shu Yiyan has been following Meng Qixue to develop in the capital these years. After he stabilized, he built a small courtyard in the city and took his mother over.
Eight years have passed, and the frail boy has grown into a handsome young man. His outstanding temperament and superb painting skills have attracted the hearts of many young girls.
Plum blossom is one of them.
She learned the news about Shu Yiyan's arrest from her mother-in-law, and immediately ran to the princess's mansion to argue with Meng Qixue. She opened her mouth with indignant accusations: "Miss Meng, don't go too far! Yiyan is just your employee.
I have not sold myself to you, nor am I your scapegoat!
Why do you let him bear the charge of poisoning people for you!"
Meng Qixue frowned, "Sister, can you clarify the situation when you come to find trouble? When did I let him take the blame for me? Besides, this is between me and Shu Yiyan, what does it have to do with you?"
Mei Hua was speechless by her rebuke, but she still kept a shy face and continued to mess around, portraying Meng Qixue in her words as an unruly young lady who didn't care about the lives of her servants.
Meng Qixue was upset when she heard this and ordered someone to gag her and drag her out.
After sending away the uninvited guests, Meng Qixue began to investigate Shuiyunjian's competitors.
In recent years, there have been countless restaurants competing with Shuiyunjian for business and imitating Shuiyunjian's cuisine and business model, but in the end they all ended in failure due to technical problems.
However, there were a few restaurants that remained in the end, and one of them, Thyme Restaurant, was doing very prosperously. In just three years, it had opened more than a dozen branches.
Meng Qixue ordered people to keep an eye on the movements of several restaurants, report any special circumstances immediately, and take care of everything. She also ordered her servants to prepare bedding and food, and then personally took these things to the Yamen.
However, the time of her arrival was somewhat unlucky. When she arrived, Meihua was holding a food box, standing outside the cell and crying to Shu Yiyan about her various evil deeds.
"Brother Yiyan, I feel really sorry for you! You endured hardship in the cell because of Miss Meng, but she didn't care about your safety at all and didn't even look at you!"
Shu Yiyan stood a few steps away from her, with a look of alienation on his face: "There was a sudden accident in Shuiyunjian. Qixue must be too busy to be busy. It makes sense that she couldn't spare the time to come and see me."
middle.
Furthermore, I had food and drink in prison and didn’t suffer much, so what does it matter if she doesn’t come to see me?”
Seeing that he was still talking to Meng Qixue at this time, Mei Hua's heart suddenly became cold, "Brother Yiyan, you are stupid. She has already put you in jail, how can you still protect her?!"
Shu Yiyan's face turned cold, and there was a layer of mist between his brows and eyes, with a hint of cold spring, "What happened today was my idea and has nothing to do with Qixue. Don't make trouble in front of me and my mother!"
Miss Chen, it’s getting late, you’d better go back early, I, Shu Yiyan, have already had dinner, and even if it’s not eaten, I don’t need you to deliver the meal!”
Mei Hua was holding back her tears, but after listening to his extremely heartless words, her tears were no longer controlled and fell, "Brother Yiyan, don't you really understand how I feel about you? I like you.
It’s only good for you!”
Shu Yiyan turned away, his voice still cold: "Miss Chen, I am not a good match, and I have no plans to get married in the next few years. You'd better choose another lover as soon as possible."
"So you plan to keep guarding that little girl until she is seventy or eighty, until she dies alone?" Mei Hua asked, crying.
"I will not let brother Yiyan die alone."
Meng Qixue walked out with a food box. The little girl was wearing a bright red cloak and her skin was as white as snow. Like the hot summer wind, it warmed the cold cell.
"If brother Ri Yiyan falls in love with any girl, even if it is a princess in the imperial city, I will find a way to help him marry her home.
But one thing is that the girl he likes must be of good character and not a talkative woman like Miss Chen."
Mei Hua was humiliated by her words and became so angry that she raised her palm to hit someone. However, she was pushed down by a servant on the side without even touching Meng Qixue's hair.
"Brother Yiyan!" Meihua looked at Shu Yiyan with tears in her eyes, hoping that the man could say something to her.
But Shu Yiyan didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and his expression remained calm and distant, "Miss Chen, go back, and don't come here again."
Mei Hua was humiliated and ran away crying.
Meng Qixue looked at her back and shook her head. While opening the food box and taking out the food, she teased: "Brother Yiyan, you really should marry a wife, otherwise a girl would come to me and cry every day, and I would suffer too."
I can’t stand it.”
Shu Yiyan stared at the hot food on the floor with a smile on his lips, "Just wait a little longer."
When you grow up, you won't angrily complain to me that the adults in your family are unreliable. When you are alone and have no relatives to take care of you, when you don't need me, I will leave again...
Meng Qixue just complained casually, and after complaining, she pushed all kinds of food in front of him with a smile, "Eat quickly, I specially asked the chef to make big elbow, pork belly, and yam pork ribs soup, which is very nourishing!"
Shu Yiyan didn't stretch out his hand, but stared at her with burning eyes and asked, "What about you? Have you eaten well?"
"Ah..." Meng Qixue stuck out her tongue guiltily, "I haven't had time to eat yet. I'll eat it after I bring you the food."
Shu Yiyan understood her temperament and pushed the food out again, "You don't have to wait for a while. Let's eat together now."
The servants in the small kitchen are really good at preparing a full meal, and there will be enough food for two people.
Meng Qixue did not forget to complain to him about this difficult day while eating, from how troublesome the troublesome guests were to how annoying Shuiyunjian's business rivals were. Finally, she patted her chest and promised Shu Yiyan that she would find out this matter as soon as possible.
thing, rescue him.
Shu Yiyan didn't say a few words during the whole process. At the end, he helped her put away her rice bowl and said helplessly: "You don't have to be anxious about the investigation. It's good for me to live in the cell. But you, you must remember to eat and sleep on time, otherwise you will have a long life."
It’s useless to cry when you’re not high anymore.”
"I know, you are more nagging than my father." Meng Qixue was most afraid of his nagging, so every time at this time she would grease her soles and run away, and this time was no exception.
I thought it would take a lot of trouble to successfully rescue Shu Yiyan, but I didn't expect a turning point that night.
The wandering genius doctor Zhang Xuan suddenly came to the capital. As soon as he entered the city with a greedy appetite, he rushed to the princess's mansion to have some food, and bumped into Meng Qixue who was returning from delivering the food.
Meng Qixue immediately ordered someone to prepare a table of food for Zhang Xuan, and told him about Shuiyunjian's difficult situation at the dinner table. This chapter has been completed!
