Early the next morning, Yuan Yuan went to the Yu Mansion alone. She deliberately did not call Chai Yan because she made a special trip to return the thousand taels of silver notes.
It was at this time that Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling's master and servant also appeared at Xinglong Inn.
When Chai Yan heard the knock on the door, he thought it was a kite, but when he opened the door and saw two eldest ladies, he immediately felt a headache: "Hey, are there people like you? Just to listen to a story, as for... ....”
"As for that!" Jimo Qiao gave an affirmative answer, and then said: "You must have had enough sleep now, come with us..."
Jimo Qiao's tone and demeanor sounded like he was coming to arrest a criminal.
Chai Yan smiled helplessly. He didn't know that Yuan had already gone out. He thought that Jimo Qiao would not meet her for the time being, so he invited the three of them to move to the Xinglong Tea House next door.
Chai Yan shook his head as he walked and said, "I finally understand. If I don't finish telling you the story, I won't have a peaceful life, right?"
Jimo Qiao followed behind with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "It's good to know!"
Gu Ling and Doudou also chuckled twice.
There were very few guests at Xinglong Tea House in the morning. The storytellers and singers hadn't arrived yet. There were only a few scattered guests on the first floor, and the second floor was basically empty.
But this is exactly what Jimo Qiao and Gu Ling wanted. It is best to be quiet and listen to the story well.
So the four of them sat down at a table by the window on the second floor, ready to listen to Chai Yan's story.
Chai Yan hadn't had breakfast yet, so he ordered some food from the teahouse, and then started talking over tea while eating...
-------------------
On the other side, Yu Yuan has knocked on the door of Yu Zhongheng's house. Today, she is still wearing a veil that covers her face.
It was Yu Zhongheng's godmother who opened the door. She became excited when she saw Yu Yuan: "As soon as I heard the knock on the door, I knew it was you, girl. Come on, come on, please come in and sit down..."
The aunt smiled happily and prepared to welcome the kite into her home as she spoke.
But Yuan Yuan shook his head and said: "Auntie, I won't go in. I'm just here to return the banknote and I'll be leaving soon..."
With that said, Yuan Yuan took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Auntie: "Auntie, count them, no more, no less, exactly ten..."
However, the aunt did not accept the banknote. Instead, she forced Yuan Yuan into the yard, and then closed the door and shouted loudly inside: "Master, come out quickly, our benefactor is coming to our house!"
While shouting, the aunt had already ran behind.
Yuan Yuan didn't know how to refuse the aunt, so he had no choice but to stay, thinking that he would return the banknote later and say hello to Yu Zhongheng before leaving.
After a while, Yu Zhongheng came out from behind, waving his folding fan.
"Whoa!" Yu Zhongheng closed the folding fan with a flick of his right hand, then cupped his hands and said politely: "Zhongheng has seen the Yuan girl..."
At this time, Yu Zhongheng had a completely new look. Not only did he look handsome and tall in his brand-new attire, but the folding fan in his hand also gave him a bit of chicness and magnanimity.
It's a pity that the bruises and some wounds on his face have not healed yet, which undermined Yu Zhongheng's image of a handsome young man.
"Master Yu." Yuan Yuan cupped his fists and replied lightly.
When Yu Zhongheng saw that only Yuan was here, he asked, "Hey, why didn't Mr. Chai come?"
Yuan said: "Oh, he is resting in the inn..."
"Miss Yu Yuan, please sit down." Yu Zhongheng stretched out the fan in his hand and motioned Yu Yuan to sit down and talk.
Yuan Yuan turned around and sat down, then put a stack of banknotes in his hand on the coffee table and said, "I forgot to return these banknotes to you yesterday..."
Yu Zhongheng glanced at the banknotes, shook his head and said: "Miss Yuyuan, you should keep these banknotes. The lives of Zhongheng and Mudan were saved by the two of you, and this time you also destroyed the water that had been harming the people for a long time.
Robbery, so..."
"...No, no, I can't accept this money! Mr. Yu, you helped my master in the past, I...I can't accept it."
Lu Yuan just didn't want anything in return, so he didn't call him Chai Yan when he came. Otherwise, with Chai Yan's shamelessness, he would definitely have accepted it with a smile.
While the two were struggling with the return of the money, Auntie and Mudan walked out from behind.
Although Peony was injured, she has recovered a little after a night's rest. The physical injuries are secondary, and the more serious trauma should be mental and spiritual!
Mudan heard her aunt say that her benefactor was here, so she insisted on coming out to meet her and thank her again.
As soon as she saw Yuan, Peony knelt down in tears and said words of gratitude while crying, which made Yuan a little overwhelmed for a moment.
In the end, the aunt pulled Peony up, and after slowly stabilizing her mood, she helped her sit down.
After staying for a while, Yuan Yuan wanted to get up and say goodbye. She was not as good at getting along with others as Chai Yan. Facing three people by herself, Yu Yuan felt very uncomfortable. She even wanted to go back to the inn room to practice swordplay alone.
But as soon as she got up, Yu Zhongheng stopped her, and then said angrily: "Miss Yuyuan, yesterday Zhongheng learned from his godmother that five members of Ouyang's family were brutally murdered by gangsters overnight, while the Huzhou government office
The reward is only twenty taels of silver to catch the murderer. Five human lives are only worth twenty taels of silver. It is really ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"
"Why did Mr. Yu suddenly mention this matter?" Yuan asked in confusion.
Yu Zhongheng sighed and explained: "Miss Yuyuan doesn't know something. Zhong Heng and Ouyang Zheng, the eldest son of Ouyang, are close friends!"
Yuan Yuan was slightly surprised: "So that's it..."
Yu Zhongheng thought about it for a moment and then asked: "Miss Yuyuan, I wonder if you and Mr. Chai have time at noon?"
"At noon? Is there anything wrong, Mr. Yu?" Yuan asked.
Yu Zhongheng said: "That's it. In order to thank you two for saving your life, Zhong Heng wants to host a banquet for you two in Mingyue Tower. I hope Miss Yuyuan and Mr. Chai will not refuse."
"this......"
Yuanyuan hesitated. Mingyue Tower sounded like a crowded place, and what she disliked the most was crowded places.
"Miss Yuyuan, please give Zhong Heng a chance to thank you!" Yu Zhongheng said solemnly.
"Okay then, I'll go back and talk to him..." Seeing that Yu Zhongheng had helped him in the past, Yuan Yuan had no choice but to agree.
After Yu Yuan left, Yu Zhongheng took out three of the ten banknotes and prepared to go out.
"Master, will I accompany you to Mingyue Tower? My injury is fine..."
Mudan thought Yu Zhongheng was going to Mingyue Tower to order a banquet.
But Yu Zhongheng stopped Mudan and said coldly: "No, I can just go by myself..."
