"Miss, please come in."

Yan Yiyi was sitting right opposite the door. When she looked up, she saw a slim girl walking in. The waiter at the door respectfully invited her in.

She had just met this girl not long ago. She was the girl on the second floor who was obsessed with her eldest brother.

Judging from the waitress's address and her familiar behavior, she has a close relationship with the owner behind the shop and is most likely a family member.

The General's Family...

Emm...the chances of my brother being selected as a son-in-law have increased again!

The Hua family is one of the most powerful families in the martial arts world, and they also have a certain reputation and status in the court. However, compared with the noble generals, they are not as good as they used to be. Of course, this is only on the surface.

If a head-on confrontation really came to a head, Yan Yiyi felt that it would be possible to frame the other party with "treason" and have him and his entire clan be executed.

The above is purely Yan Yiyi's subconscious assumption of the worst about the other party, and then when she found that she could deal with the other party, she no longer had to worry.

"Wife, what are you looking at?" Xin Ye turned around and looked, and found nothing unusual.

"Nothing, just looking at a beautiful woman!"

Xin Ye smiled silently. It was okay to look at beautiful women, but if he looked at handsome men, he would have the opportunity to ask for some benefits. Alas, what a pity. He had not met a few relatively good-looking men in the capital for several days.

"Hey~ Isn't this the unmarried Miss Gu from General Gu's family?"

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye looked at the sound and saw a young woman in a pink cloak came into the store. She was standing in front of Miss Gu, with no disguising sarcasm on her face.

Miss Gu's spicy hot pot was just served, but after taking a bite, she felt so disgusted by the young woman in front of her that she lost her appetite.

She put down her chopsticks, rolled her eyes, and said sarcastically, "Who was it? It turns out to be the second young master's wife of the Zeng family."

The guest next to Yan Yiyi asked the person sitting at the same table with him, "I don't think there's anything wrong with your tone. Cousin, what's going on?"

My cousin answered quietly, "The second young master's wife of the Zeng family was the daughter of a noble marquis, and she married the second son of a concubine of the Zeng Shangshu Mansion, and she had a child before marriage. It was a very ugly scene at that time."

"Oh~ I see, no wonder Miss Gu used that tone."

"Well, what's this? The eldest daughter of the Gu family is the same age as the wife of the second young master Zeng. They have always been at odds with each other. Although both are legitimate daughters, the wife of the second young master's family, the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, has twelve daughters, five of whom are legitimate. The wife of the second young master Zeng is not favored in her family.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter of General Gu's mansion is the old lady's daughter who came later in life, and the only daughter in the family. She was brought up under care.

Look, Madam Zeng Ershao is jealous of Miss Gu, so she has been targeting her~"

"So that's the case... Then why can't Miss Gu get married?"

"The old lady passed away a few years ago, and Miss Gu had to observe mourning for three years. Didn't that delay things? Not only did her marriage get delayed, but her second brother's imperial examination was also delayed. Otherwise, her second brother would have had a great chance of becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination three years ago. What a pity."

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye looked at each other in tacit understanding. So, the second young master of the Gu family would be a strong competitor to his brothers. This... the top scholar seems a bit uncertain~

"Well, I heard that the gambling house has opened, and many people are betting that the second young master Gu will become the number one scholar."

Hearing this, Xin Ye couldn't help but ask the man next to him where the gambling house was. In order to support his brother-in-law, he said he would go and place a bet to support him.

The conversation here was not loud, but the two parties being discussed heard it. The other party did not make any malicious remarks, so they could not get angry and could only pretend not to hear it.

Especially, their opponents are right across from them.

Miss Gu raised her chin proudly: "Did you hear that? My second brother is widely recognized as someone who has a high chance of becoming the top scholar, while your husband who barely made it into the rankings is not in the limelight."

"You!" Mrs. Zeng Ershao was choked and unable to refute.

Miss Gu snorted: "You should go back and nurse the baby."

When talking about her son, Mrs. Zeng Ershao felt herself getting stronger again: "Yes, I have a son, which is better than you who are unwanted. You are so skinny, and I don't know if you can give birth to a child!

I don't know which family is so unlucky to marry a hen like you who can't lay eggs."

Miss Gu slammed the table, stood up and sneered, "So, you are the hen that lays eggs? Hahahaha, this is the first time I hear someone compare themselves to a hen, you beast!"

"You!" Madam Zeng Ershao glared at Miss Gu, "How dare you scold me? I'll teach you a lesson!" As she said that, she lifted up her sleeves and was about to pounce on her and tear her apart.

Seeing this, Miss Gu picked up the spicy hot pot in front of her and poured it on the wife of the second young master Zeng. The greasy soup and various side dishes flowed over the plump chest of the second young master Zeng.

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

The next second, Young Master Zeng's wife let out an angry roar, breaking the eerie silence, and rushed towards Miss Gu regardless of anything.

This is the territory of General Gu's mansion. No matter who the other party is, the shop assistants will not allow their young lady to be bullied in their shop, and they all rush over to protect Miss Gu.

Madam Zeng II brought two maids and two servants with her. Since their master had joined the battle, they naturally could not fall behind, and the two sides started fighting directly.

Yan Yiyi watched this farce and gave an objective evaluation: "That Miss Gu was too kind. She should have poured the spicy hot pot on the other person's face. There was hot sauce in the soup. If even a drop splashed into her eyes, she would be in pain."

Xin Ye nodded with a smile and agreed, "That's true. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. Look, the enemy has succeeded.

If that woman scratches my face, I'm afraid it will be disfigured. I wonder how good the doctors in the capital are and whether they have any special scar removal cream."

The cousins ​​at the next table watched the quarrel on the other side and listened to the alternative comments of the young couple here. They felt that this spicy hot pot meal was more worthwhile than ever before and was simply wonderful.

In the end, the majority defeated the minority, and the second young master's wife and her gang were thrown out of the shop. There were only two waiters running errands in the shop, plus the shopkeeper at the counter and the two maids brought by Miss Gu, so they were equal in number to the other side.

But Miss Gu was protected at the back, while Madam Zeng II Young Master was the main force, so they could not match the other side in fighting power, especially since the other side was a woman and from Shangshu Mansion. The shopkeeper and the waiter were somewhat restrained when they took action, and they all had several scratches on their faces from Madam Zeng II Young Master.

Fortunately, Miss Gu was not stupid. She did not dare to go forward to fight, but at least she would go for help. She ran back to the backyard and called out to the aunts and chefs in the kitchen. They all came out to fight, and she outnumbered the other side and successfully won the victory.
