"This is not the time we made an appointment with you. You were half an hour late."
Fu Ming smiled and said, "I have a business problem, you can't just accommodate me, right?"
"Master Fu, you are half an hour late!" Anu said from the side.
"I'm sorry for keeping Miss Anu waiting for so long. I apologize to you. This is my apology!"
With that said, he handed the thing in his hand to Anu.
"I didn't even finish the peach blossom noodles you gave me last time. Mr. Fu is so polite!"
He is short-tongued when he eats people, and he is soft-handed when taking advantage of others. If he receives something again, Anu will not be able to complain.
No, Fu Ming said, "This is not my peach blossom stuff, it belongs to my couple. I would like to ask Miss Anu to give me a feedback after using it."
"Rival?" Anu said in disbelief, "Taohuamian, who has always been number one in the capital, actually has a rival?"
"More than just an opponent, he was simply beaten."
"We live on the same street, and their prices are much more expensive than peach blossom noodles."
"Oh my God!" Upon hearing this, Anu's first thought was that the other party was overestimating his abilities and dared to show off.
Who knows, Fu Ming said, "This time, our Taohua Nian may have met a real opponent!"
After saying that, Fu Ming let out a long sigh.
He said to Xiao Changfeng, "I'm already like this, do you still have the heart to scold me for being half an hour late?"
Xiao Changfeng rolled his eyes at him, "A person who is called a jade-faced fox will sometimes be in trouble?"
Fu Ming sighed again, "Maybe it's true this time!"
At this time, Qin Ji from Tianxiang Tower had already started playing.
His dejected heart was immediately attracted by the sound of the piano.
"Tianxiang Tower, is there a newcomer?"
"Sir, have you forgotten that you were the one who invited Xiao Hou to come here..."
"Oh, that's right," Fu Ming said, "There are a few new kabuki actors in Tianxiang Tower who are both beautiful and skilled. It was I who invited Xiaohou to come here!"
Xiao Changfeng is unintentionally romantic.
If Fu Ming hadn't been so thick-skinned, he would never have come here.
"By the way," Fu Ming asked while listening to the music, "in the past two months since I've been out, I heard that you experienced an "inhumane" assassination?"
This is somewhat of a bad joke.
At this time, the two people's words got to the point.
"But there is someone who needs my help. I heard that the assassin's whereabouts have never been traced. Maybe your people can't, but mine can..."
"No." Xiao Changfeng shook his head, "I will do this myself..."
After looking at Xiao Changfeng and then at Anu's complicated expression, Fu Ming said, "It seems that you have a very different feeling about this assassin. Could it be that he is an acquaintance of yours?"
Anu was also an excited person. She looked at her master intently, wanting to hear more from him.
The master only asked to find someone and was not allowed to hurt anyone, but he did not say what the relationship between this person and the master was.
They must have known each other, otherwise how could they be so merciful.
She has been with her master for so many years, but she has never seen such a master.
The most important thing is that she has never heard her master see or talk about it.
The master has known this woman longer than she did.
Thinking of this, Anu clenched his fists jealously.
"By the way, when I returned to Beijing this time, I heard some interesting things..." Fu Ming said, "I heard that the prince has taken a fancy to the concubine of the Nangong family?"
"This matter has only just spread in the palace. You have just returned to the capital, and your ears and eyes are very smart."
"I told you, I'm very good at asking for information. Do you want to tell me about the female assassin? Let me help you find it..."
After going around and around, Fu Ming returned to this topic.
"No need." The silver face was covered, and Xiao Changfeng's expression could not be seen.
"Okay," Fu Ming nodded in frustration, "I originally wanted to know who it is that makes our cold-faced Yama be so interested in it. It seems that I am doing something unnecessary!"
Unexpectedly, while he was teasing Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Han had already led people to investigate hundreds of people named Zhou Yao from the outside of the capital to the inside.
The reason why he started investigating from the outside was because he felt it was more convenient for people outside the capital to go to Lingyun Temple.
Unexpectedly, those Zhou Yao looked very unlike the person the master was looking for.
Finally, Xiao Han came to Ping'an Lane, Zhou Yao's residence.
At this time, Zhou Yao was holding a man's hand.
"Zhiqiu, I beg you, that is my only valuable thing, you can't take it away..."
He Zhiqiu's eyes were already red from gambling.
The people at the casino didn't know where they got the news. They knew that He Zhiqiu was the eldest son of He Guogong's family and came to collect gambling debts again.
It was on the day of He Guogong's fiftieth birthday that people from the casino came to visit. Only then did He Guogong know that his eldest son had secretly returned to Beijing and had lost everything in the casino.
The furious Duke He Guo completely severed all relations with He Zhiqiu in front of all the guests, and asked the people in the casino to find anyone who owed money.
So, people from the casino found where He Zhiqiu lived.
Zhou Yao, who was still immersed in the dream of accompanying He Zhiqiu back to the Duke's Palace, thought she had found the wrong door when facing the people in the gambling shop.
When she saw those people lifting He Zhiqiu off the bed, she suddenly realized that He Zhiqiu was actually a gambler.
"Everyone, my father is He Guogong, he will..."
"Forget it," one of the thugs said, "We have already been to the Duke's Mansion. He Guogong said that we will sever our relationship with you and that the Duke's Mansion will no longer have anything to do with your life or death."
"What?" Only then did He Zhiqiu realize that he was so angry because of his repeated gambling losses that he had long forgotten his father's birthday.
Unexpectedly, my father actually severed the relationship with me, then...
Before he could think of what to do, those people beat him wildly.
"I beg you, please..."
He Zhiqiu said, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, I will give you this house!"
"This house is only worth a few dollars, but it's not enough for you to pay off your gambling debts."
"The next door, plus the next door..."
He Zhiqiu decided to sell Zhou Yao's house without even thinking about it.
"What did you say?" Zhou Yao was stunned, "That's the house my husband left me. Why do you use my house to pay off debts..."
"Ayao, for the sake of my sincerity towards you for so long, please help me save my life first. Later, I will go to my father to admit my mistake. He will not really give up on me."
It was right to think about it. After all, He Zhiqiu was the biological father and son of Duke He Guo. No father would be so cruel.
As a last resort, Zhou Yao, who had reached this point, had no choice but to give her house to the gambling house.
She had already given the child to a childless couple, and was waiting to enter the Duke's mansion with He Zhiqiu. Unexpectedly, He Zhiqiu turned out to be a gambler.
I hate that I made a mistake, but at the same time I hope that he can really enter the house by himself.
Who would have known that when He Zhiqiu brought her to the Duke's Mansion, she would actually be rejected.
The same goes for coming to the back door.
The doorman said, "My eldest son, the Duke has said that you are no longer a member of the Duke's mansion, and there is no need to come again!"
He Zhiqiu said, "Then you go and inform my aunt, I..."
"My eldest son, Aunt Lan passed away the year after you left. You still..."
"What?" He Zhiqiu was completely stunned, "I was fine when I left. Why did my aunt pass away?"
