"I sent people to Lengjia Village to look for you, but they said you were not there. I went to the county town, but the people there didn't find you either. I thought you had an accident!"

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open.

The waiter guarding the gate was pushed and fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper stood up hurriedly, "Master Qin!"

A greasy young man in brocade robes entered the private room surrounded by servants.

"Mr. Leng, I have long admired you."

The shopkeeper stood in front of Leng Ruoxue and said, "Mr. Qin San, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know who Mr. Leng was and couldn't contact him? Now you've contacted him."

Young Master Qin San walked to the seat where the shopkeeper had sat and glanced at his attendant.

The attendant wiped the chair and table with the handkerchief in his arms, and the third son of the Qin family sat down.

The attendant clapped his hands again, and two maids came in with white jade teapots and cups, and started to make tea for Mr. Qin San as if no one was around.

I went out after taking a bath.

"Shopkeeper, please."

The attendant who was wiping the chairs made a gesture to the shopkeeper, asking him to leave.

The shopkeeper looked at Leng Ruoxue in embarrassment.

"Wait!"

Leng Ruoxue calmly called out to the shopkeeper.

The attendant glanced at Young Master Qin San, who nodded.

"Please ask the shopkeeper to ask the servant to go to the No. 1 Courtyard of Tianzi in Hongfu Inn and tell Leng Yi that Mr. Qin wants to treat me to a meal."

The shopkeeper glanced at Master Qin, who didn't care at all. "Go ahead, and go to Koufuxuan and order 10 signature dishes for them."

The shopkeeper sighed and went out.

Young Master Qin said nothing, and Leng Ruoxue also said nothing. They drank their tea peacefully and asked the waiter to bring some fresh fruits and pastries from the store, which they started to eat.

Seeing this, the attendant also asked the maid to bring two plates of fruit and two plates of snacks.

Leng Ruoxue took a look and said, "Okay, a plate of lychees and a plate of mangosteens."

Suddenly I felt that the grapes and apricots in front of me no longer smelled fragrant.

Young Master Qin looked very disgusted and ate one anyway and then stopped eating.

He washed his hands with soap, looked at Leng Ruoxue, and pushed the lychees and mangosteens in front of him towards him.

Leng Ruoxue was in a dilemma: should she eat it or not? Should she keep the core?

The door to the private room opened.

The young man in white clothes and black face, Leng Yi, came in.

"Leng Yi has met Mr. Leng"

He bowed and found a seat to sit down.

Only then did Leng Ruoxue look at Leng Yi carefully.

The white brocade robe has silver patterns on it, and the white jade belt has golden auspicious cloud patterns on it.

The white jade crown is crystal clear, and the facial features are delicate...except that it's a little darker, there's nothing wrong with it.

The ring is no longer the green one, it has been replaced with a white mutton-fat jade one.

Where did this outfit go? Why didn't I find it?

Young Master Qin was also looking at Leng Yi. There was no one with the last name Leng in the capital's noble families.

I don’t know what rank he is as an official in the local area.

It’s this face…why does it look so familiar?

"Qin San, why are you coming here instead of staying in the capital?"

As soon as Leng opened his mouth, Young Master Qin San stood up in surprise.

"you you……"

"What do you mean, aren't you going to treat me to a meal? Where's the food?"

The third son of the Qin family knelt down, and when his followers saw this, they also knelt down.

"Don't kneel to me, a guard, kneel to Master Leng"

Qin San wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around to kneel before Leng Ruoxue.

"Mr. Leng, I really just want to treat you to a meal."

Leng Ruoxue looked at Leng Yi. He was handsome, dark-skinned, and healthy.

Leng clenched his fist and coughed.

Finally someone noticed me.

Ever since she saved herself, Leng Ruoxue treated the four of them as ordinary guards.

Regardless of my name or origin, am I really that ordinary? Can I not attract the attention of a village girl?

If she hadn't asked someone for help today, she would have thought that she had just rescued a few kittens and puppies and kept them by giving them some food.

How did she know that she could defeat the young master of the Duke's Mansion?

"Wake up! This fruit is good."

Leng Ruoxue didn't hesitate to take the fruit from Mr. Qin and started eating it, carefully spitting the core onto her handkerchief.

Master Qin gave a look, and the servant went out tactfully, brought tea and fruit to Leng Yi, and also served two plates to Leng Ruoxue.

"Leng Yi, do you have anything else to do?"

Leng Ruoxue asked Leng Yi.

Leng Yi: ...dump it after use?

"fine"

Leng Yi was depressed.

"We are all fine now, Mr. Qin can go back now. I have to let go of what happened today. Remember to settle the bill and have the food delivered. I am hungry."

Leng Ruoxue looked at Leng Yi and nodded slightly.

Master Qin laughed dryly, bowed, and walked out.

Fortunately, I didn’t say anything, otherwise I would have been in great pain and couldn’t get out today.

Leng Ruoxue: Fortunately, I can suppress Leng Yi. If I can’t, I will fight him myself. I just feel a little sad about the loss of money.

"Eat lychees. If you don't eat them now, you won't be able to keep them. Remember to leave the core for me."

Leng Ruoxue greeted Leng Yi rudely.

Leng Yi: ...The village girl knows that this is lychee?

"By the way, what's your surname, sir?"

"Nangong Yi, Miss Leng, you should just call me Leng Yi."

Nangong Yi ate a lychee in frustration.

"Will this Mr. Qin reveal your identity? Is it safe?"

"Safety"

"That's good, how about we discuss business?"

"what business?"

"Does Soap know?"

"I know, that's what we use every day."

Nangong Yi was puzzled. He had been out for more than half a year, but he had only come into contact with soap in Lengjia Village.

"I sell soap in the city, and the money I used to buy the mountain and the land was all earned from selling soap."

"I also said that General Leng's military salary should not be that much."

Nangong Yi used to think that everything Leng Ruoxue bought was paid for by Leng Zejin, and he even suspected that Leng Zejin had embezzled military pay, but now he no longer has to doubt it.

"Let's work together to sell soap. You don't have to worry about the cost and the selling price. You only need to take 2% of the transaction amount. How about that?"

Nangong Yi: Do I need your little money? I don’t just need this little bit.

"Don't rush to refuse. I need you to be my backer. I can also thank you for saving my life. Thank you for sending me the person today."

Nangong Yi was about to refuse, but after hearing this, he felt it was difficult to refuse.

"2% is a bit too much, it should be a little less, just a token of appreciation."

"It's okay. This 2% is not much for me. I don't lose anything since I have such a big backer like you."

"How do you know I sent that person?"

Just as he finished speaking, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the food.

"I'd like to borrow your light to try the signature dish of Koufukuen today."

Leng Ruoxue waited for the waiter to go out and invited Nangong Yi to eat.

Nangong Yi was not polite either.

"I'll be auctioning soaps at Yipinju tomorrow. Do you want to come and keep the place in check?"

"Yes, as a guard."

A soap is being auctioned? How bizarre.

"Who is that Third Young Master Qin?"

Nangong Yi:……

"The Third Young Master of the Duke's Mansion"

"The Duke's Mansion... I don't know how high of an official position it is. How about this, tell me which officials you can't control? If I see them again in the future, I won't call you, just run away."
