Half an hour later, Mu Yunhan took Xiaomi into Wu Yanzhuang's courtyard.
Jin Fan stopped Xiaomi: "She can only wait here."
Mu Yunhan tried to reason with him: "She is my maid. I need her help. She has a tight mouth and won't talk nonsense."
Jin Fan sneered: "You just bought a maid, so you trust her so much? Maybe she is an undercover agent placed by others to spy on you?"
Mu Yunhan retorted: "What can I spy on? The recipe for Ruyi Tea is in my head. I don't want to give it to you, and no one can take it away."
Jin Fan said: "If I say you are not allowed to come in, you are not allowed to come in."
After finally getting Xiaomi as his personal bodyguard, but he wouldn't let her in, what's the point?
Mu Yunhan turned to leave: "Excuse me, Master Jin, to apologize to Master Wu for me. I'm afraid my agreement with him cannot continue."
"Are you threatening me?" Jin Fan was furious. He turned to Xiaomi and raised his hands fiercely: "Why don't you get out of here? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
He looked very scary. I thought that Xiaomi, a yellow-haired girl, would be frightened and cry for mercy and leave voluntarily. That would save trouble.
Unexpectedly, Xiaomi looked at him expressionlessly, showing no fear at all.
Jin Fan couldn't put down his raised hand and couldn't take it back, so he simply slapped Xiaomi on the shoulder. If he couldn't take care of Mu Yunhan, couldn't he take care of a little girl?
He waited for the two women to scream, but saw that both women were extremely quiet, staring at his hand expressionlessly.
What a weird feeling, Jin Fan thought, when the gray shadow in front of his eyes flashed, and his palm actually fell empty.
Looking at Xiaomi, she had already changed her position, standing in front of Mu Yunhan with an expressionless face, and said calmly: "Miss, please go first, and I will leave behind."
Such a fast movement... Jin Fan put away his contempt: "Where did you buy the maid?"
Mu Yunhan smiled: "I won't tell you, you just need to know that I must be accompanied by her. This is my rule."
Jin Fan looked directly at Xiaomi, lifted up the legs of his robe and pinned it to his belt, and gestured: "No, she must stay. I can't trust her."
"A Jin, let her come in." A low and hoarse voice sounded, and Wu Yanzhuang walked slowly.
He shaved his beard, wore an elegant duck-egg green Confucian robe, and wore a shiny jade bracelet around his waist, which restrained the evil spirit of a military commander. He looked several years younger than before, as if he was in his twenties.
A handsome young scholar.
Jin Fan's face was full of shock. When he met Wu Yanzhuang's indifferent warning eyes, he quickly looked away: "Yes."
Wu Yanzhuang turned around and walked in: "Miss Mu, please."
Mu Yunhan motioned for Xiaomi to follow with the rattan box.
This time the location is not at the waterside pavilion, but under an old locust tree.
The coffee table is made of large pieces of jade, futons are scattered randomly on the ground, and moss is mottled all around. It is quiet and elegant, and it is a good place to drink tea.
Mu Yunhan praised: "Great place."
Wu Yanzhuang smiled faintly, asked her to sit down steadily, pointed to the flower basket on the side and said: "I don't know what flowers you want to use today, I asked them to cut two branches of each."
This is a giant flower basket, with a total of one or two hundred flowers of all kinds in it, many of which are rare species that are not commonly seen. Mu Yunhan made a rough calculation, and it was worth dozens of taels of silver.
She was a little unsure about what Wu Yanzhuang meant: "There's no need to spend so much money. Flowers are second, and tea and incense are the most important."
"Hmm." Wu Yanzhuang sat down opposite her, with only a coffee table between him and her, less than an arm's length away. (To be continued)
