After Liu Anhe returned home, she quietly told her husband what had just happened.

Ling Zhi was extremely surprised. Last time he couldn't find out who the girl was from, but this time he actually met the real person.

Pacing back and forth, he couldn't hide his curiosity and said excitedly, "No, I have to go and see."

"Hey, what are you going to do? Don't scare people."

"From a distance, I saw that my third brother seemed to like that girl very much. He was smiling all the time and was very attentive."

Liu Anhe pulled her husband to sit on the chair and walked back and forth, which gave her a headache.

Ling Zhi finally sat down, drank some tea, calmed down, and said,

"Don't get involved in this matter, and don't tell our parents. Third brother said that the girl's family is not well off, so don't get involved, or she will resent us."

Liu Anhe thought about it, nodded in agreement,

"Well, even if I didn't tell her, Song Yue saw it. She was so angry that her eyes were wide open. She has always liked my third brother, so don't do anything out of line."

"Don't worry, I will tell my third brother to be careful. But I guess Song Yue won't take the initiative to ask. If my parents knew about it, they would probably not stop me but come to propose marriage right away."

Ling Zhi knew Song Yue a little bit, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"But not telling her doesn't mean she won't sabotage it. You are all women, so try to persuade her more when you have time."

Liu Anhe nodded, but felt a little headache. Song Yue had always been stubborn and was afraid she would not give up so easily.

Ling Zhi asked some more details, such as his appearance and height, and was happy for his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.

Let’s go back to Yunzhi Pavilion. At this time, Jiang Yun has already entered Ling Yun’s special room on the second floor.

The charcoal fire inside was burning vigorously, and Jiang Yun felt hot after a while, so she took off her mask and cloak.

Ling Yun took the mask and looked at it. It looked like a face towel, but also like a mask, and it had two ears.

"What is this? You did this too."

Normally masks are made of metal or wood, but this one is made of cotton.

"This is a mask. It's made thicker for winter, it can block the wind and protect your mouth and nose."

Jiang Yun touched the tip of her nose and the water beads at the corners of her lips, which were stuffy from wearing a mask.

Ling Yun said with a half-smile, "Didn't you say you would come tomorrow? Why are you here today? Do you want to see me?"

Ah Sheng, who pushed the door open to bring snacks and tea, was nearly frightened and fell down, but luckily he had a steady footing and did not make any mistakes.

"Ling Yun, you're so greasy." Jiang Yun looked disgusted.

"So good?" Ling Yun was confused.

Jiang Yun touched the non-existent stubble on his chin and tried hard to think of an adjective.

"Just like you just now, um~ how to explain it? Oh, right, it's like eating a piece of fat meat, so greasy."

"puff"

Ah Sheng felt that he was in great danger. Why couldn't he hold back? He should have endured it a little longer, put down the snacks, and laughed outside. Now he was dead.

"Brother A Sheng, are you also attracted by the temptation?" Jiang Yun felt that A Sheng was his ally at this moment.

"No, no, Master Jiang, you are joking. Master Jiang, please have some tea and try some freshly baked snacks."

Ah Sheng is feeling miserable, the master's eyes are piercing me to pieces, wuwuwu

"Thank you, Brother Asheng." Jiang Yun picked up a piece of sesame crisps, it was really delicious.

"You're welcome. As long as Master Jiang likes it."

Seeing him eating with relish, Ah Sheng couldn't help but feel happy. It would be even better if he could ignore the master's prying eyes.

Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy. "I will take my leave first."

Ling Yun deliberately said in a wronged tone,

"Xiao Yun, you can't say that to me. It will make me sad. Come with me to see the lanterns tonight, okay?"

Then he reached out and took the sesame seeds from Jiang Yun's mouth. He wanted to put them in his own mouth to taste them, but he held back.

At this time, Ling Yun felt that the two of them were making good progress, they could already joke around, and simple physical contact was not frowned upon. If they asked each other to go out for a walk, it would be a natural thing for them to be together in the future.

"Well, I won't say anything. But there were too many people at night, and my brother wouldn't let me go out, so he just let me watch at the door."

Jiang Yun said as she picked up another piece. Not recognizing what it was, she took a big bite.

"Well, it's so sticky, so sticky and greasy, uh, so uncomfortable..."

I choked and couldn't spit it out or swallow it. It felt so uncomfortable.

Ling Yun checked it anxiously, patted his back and scratched it with his hands, he was very anxious.

"Spit it out quickly and let me see it."

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no major disaster occurred.

He patted Jiang Yun's back gently, and seeing that he had vomited and his face looked normal, he gently stroked him to help him calm down.

"Okay, have some tea, Shunshun."

Jiang Yun refused to eat another bite of the remaining food. He just drank some tea and prepared to leave.

Ling Yun sent the person to the downstairs of Yuelaiju and came back immediately.

With a cold light in his eyes, he said coldly,

"Ah Sheng, go call the shopkeeper, the dim sum chef, and the waiter to the lobby. Close the store early and prepare twenty more plates of lotus seed paste cakes."

Ah Sheng didn't know why his master was so angry now when he was fine just now, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

After a while, the store door was closed and many people stood in the lobby.

Ling Yun was at the head of the table, his brows and eyes were a little cold, and he said, "Today's lotus paste cake is delicious, you all should try it."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that it was strange, but they still took a piece and started eating.

"There's still one piece left. Who hasn't eaten it yet?" He pointed to the piece left on the plate.

The head chef stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Boss, Master Chen is on sick leave today."

After a pause, he continued, "Among the cakes that Master Chen is usually in charge of is lotus seed paste cake."

"Ugh, I'm choking. Give me some water."

Soon everyone who had just eaten the lotus seed paste cake started to make a mess. Some swallowed it, while others choked and couldn't stand it.

They patted each other on the back and felt better after vomiting. In just a short while, several mouthfuls of vomit had been left on the ground.

A round-faced young man ran to Ling Yun and knelt down.

"Master, check it out. On weekdays when the master is on vacation or taking leave, I make the lotus seed paste cakes. I have never made any mistakes."

His words were also confirmed by the master chef and the shopkeeper. Ling Yun slammed the table and said angrily,

"Whoever did this, tell me now and I'll give you a lighter sentence. If I find out, I'll punish you severely."

The crowd didn't dare to make a sound. A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks in the corner glanced evasively, then immediately lowered his head to cover his eyes.

Ling Yun's eyes flashed with hostility, and he said sternly, "Investigate."

With just one order, Ah Sheng led a few people to the kitchen. Soon, the ingredients for making lotus seed paste cake were brought up.

The shopkeeper glanced at the chef, who understood and stepped forward, pinched a little, rubbed it open, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

He said, "Master, this is mixed with glutinous rice flour and chestnut flour. These two are cheap and easy to get. On the contrary, lotus seeds are expensive this year."

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the person in charge of purchasing immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he had only done it this time. He regretted in his heart why he did not stand up and admit it just now. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret, and he was directly arrested and handed over to the official.

He also asked the waiter and the accountant to check with all the customers who had bought lotus seed paste cake, compensate them with their money, and give them gifts as apology.

Ah Sheng was really curious about how the master knew that there was something wrong with the lotus seed paste cake today.

I followed my master upstairs to pack up and prepare to go back home. I saw the snacks and tea still laid out, and I suddenly felt enlightened.

It seems that my master is willing to risk his life for the beauty he loves. Uh, beauty is not the right word, it should be male beauty.

------

As for Xiuzhu, she waited at the door for half an hour before she saw Jiang Yun and Ling Yun come out.

It was winter and her forehead was covered with sweat. She was afraid that Song Yue would beat and scold her if she didn't bring back any news.

Jiang Yun was wrapped too tightly and was not tall, so no one recognized him as a boy.

Xiuzhu saw that the two were not as close as before, and the third young master's face turned frighteningly dark after he sent the people away.

He hurried back and told Song Yue. After hearing that, Song Yue felt relieved.

I secretly wondered if the two of them were having an unpleasant conversation, as they had already started a quarrel at this very moment.

After this incident, Song Yue felt that she had to make plans early, and it would be best to get the matter done before it was too late, otherwise there would be more trouble.

After finishing the business in the store, Ling Yun was ready to go home. No matter how the little thing was invited, he refused to go out at night.

Looking at Ah Sheng who was following him, Ling Yun remembered that he had not yet settled accounts with this man.

Haha, Brother Asheng.

Seeing his master's malicious smile, Ah Sheng felt that he could still save the situation.

He said seriously, "Master, I have a way to get Young Master Jiang to come out tonight."

"Oh~ tell me."

"Actually, Young Master Jiang wants to go out, but his brother is worried. So as long as we ask his brother to release him, Young Master Jiang will come out." Ah Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his brain working at full speed.

"I can think of a way to trip up Young Master Jiang's brother, and the rest is up to the master."

Ling Yun decided to let Ah Sheng go for now. As long as he could get the job done, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let's give it a try."
