The Evil Emperor Chases His Wife: The Good-for-Nothing Lady Is a Genius

Nangong Jue and Jiang Xue were brought to the front hall. As soon as they reached the door, they smelled the fragrance of food.

"Oh, two distinguished guests, please take your seats."

The person who is speaking is Dongfang Mu, and he is now a member of the Dongfang family.

The other two men in their forties or fifties at the table were the second elder and the third elder.

Dongfang Mu introduced them one by one at the dinner table.

When the two elders saw Nangong Jue and Jiang Xue walk in, they immediately stood up and saluted towards them.

They saw that Jiang Xue and the other two were not very old, but because of Master Kong, they were very respectful to them.

The other members of the Dongfang family did not dare to act rashly in front of the two of them.

"Come on, come on, don't be polite, we are all family."

Dongfang Mu warmly invited Nangong Jue and Jiang Xue to sit down, "You must have worked hard on the journey. Come and try our Dongfang family's special dishes!"

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, while Nangong Jue said politely, "Thank you, Patriarch Dongfang, for your hospitality."

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting and laughing.

The second elder and the third elder asked some questions about cultivation from time to time, and Nangong Jue and Jiang Xue answered them one by one.

"By the way, Miss Jiang, I heard that you are a very good alchemist. Could you help me take a look at this old illness?" The third elder suddenly asked.

Jiang Xue glanced at him and smiled, "Of course, please extend your hand."

The Third Elder extended his right hand, and Jiang Xue gently felt his pulse. After a moment, she said, "The elder's pulse is stable, and there is nothing serious. He just needs to recuperate for a few days."

"This pill will help you regulate your breathing, and your leg disease will heal soon."

"Miss Jiang is indeed a skilled doctor!" praised the third elder.

After he took the pill from Jiang Xue, he couldn't wait to open it and smell it, then poured out a pill from the bottle.

"This...is actually an eighth-grade elixir?"

The third elder said with a look of surprise, looking at Jiang Xue as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

After hearing what the third elder said, the other people showed shock on their faces.

"I didn't expect Miss Jiang Xue to have such a strong talent. I wonder how old Miss Jiang Xue is?"

"Seventeen..."

.........

"Ten...seventeen..."

"He is already an eighth-grade alchemist???"

Dongfang Mu regretted asking Jiang Xue's age at this moment. Wasn't this a slap in their faces?

These people are actually over 100 years old.

These people who have lived for hundreds of years are not even half as capable as Jiang Xue. They wish they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, let's eat. Some people are born monsters. People like us can't compare to them."

Mr. Kong was drinking quietly by himself. After hearing that everyone had fallen into silence, he suddenly spoke to break the silence.

"Girl, you little brat, have a taste of our Dongfang family's cooking."

"Originally, our noble Dongfang family didn't know how to cook, but since becoming servants of the Su family for more than ten years, we have learned how to cook everything."

"These dishes are made according to the Su family's requirements and are made into medicinal dishes according to their tastes."

"Eating these medicinal foods can enhance your strength and strengthen your body."

"As to whether it will be effective, that is unknown."

Then, Dongfang Mu introduced the dishes on the table one by one.

Nangong Jue personally served the food to Jiang Xue, and she took a small bite.

"It is indeed a medicinal diet, but it is not as magical as you say. Adding so many medicinal ingredients is a complete waste."

"It seems that the alchemist of the Su family is also a half-baked person. He actually boiled the medicinal food directly and poured the water into the dish. If you don't get poisoned after eating it, you're lucky."

"However, the dish tastes good, but it's ruined by the herbs."

"No wonder the people in the Su family had rosier complexions but darker lips after eating the medicinal food."

After Dongfang Mu and the two elders heard Jiang Xue's words, their faces instantly became serious.

"That's because the amount in the medicinal food is small. The situation you are talking about is because they are suffering from a chronic poison."

"If you really want to eat medicinal food, I have a few books on medicinal food here that I can give to you."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, several books on medicinal diet appeared in her hands. She flicked her fingers, and these books appeared in front of Dongfang Mu in the blink of an eye.

"This is so embarrassing. You just gave the Third Elder the elixir. It's not appropriate for me to accept such a valuable thing from you now."

"I seldom use these things. For me, these things actually take up space."

"Besides, Master Kong is already a member of my Chengxian Pavilion. You are his family, which is equivalent to one of our own."

"We will also cook this meal later. After we learn how to cook the medicinal food you gave us, we will treat you to another meal."

"Why don't we go out to the restaurant to eat?"

After hearing Jiang Xue's words, no one dared to pick up their chopsticks for the sake of their own lives.

"Yes, let's go to the restaurant. Today is the Lantern Festival. After dinner, you can go shopping in the market of Penglai Fairy Island."

Jiang Xue and Nangong Jue's eyes met in the air.

"I have nothing to do, so I can go and take a look~~"

So Dongfang Mu called everyone in the mansion to go out and have dinner at the restaurant.

There were probably dozens of people in their group who walked into the restaurant together.

"Oh, what a rare guest! The Dongfang family, who used to run errands, can now become the host."

As Dongfang Mu and the people of the Dongfang family stepped into the restaurant, they heard a mocking voice coming towards them.

"This is the Ouyang family's restaurant. The one who mocked the owner is the eldest son of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Feng~~~"

The elder and Elder Kong standing behind him gave a brief introduction, and these words also reached the ears of Jiang Xue and Nangong Jue.

"Haha, Mr. Ouyang, everyone has downfalls. If someone hadn't helped the Su family to frame my Dongfang family, my Dongfang family wouldn't have had that downfall."

Although Dongfang Mu was angry, he also knew that what Ouyang Feng said was indeed the truth.

"There are dozens of you here, please go to the second floor."

"Come here, take the Dongfang family to the second floor and prepare five tables."

"Patriarch Dongfang is right. I didn't expect you to be able to kill the Su family."

After Ouyang Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left the restaurant.

"Did you have any unpleasant experience with the Ouyang family?"

Jiang Xue asked curiously.

"Probably not. I just heard that when our three major families first came in, they were chased away by the mermaids."

"They don't like us humans encroaching on their territory."

At the beginning, our three major families and the mermaids would fight almost every day, and the Su family would send people from our Dongfang family to make up the numbers.

From what Jiang Xue heard from him, she understood that the Su family's actions were most likely the work of the Ouyang family.

Even if there is dissatisfaction among these families, it is the Dongfang family that is dissatisfied with the Ouyang family, as for the Shangguan family.

They have a peaceful relationship with both the Ouyang family and the Dongfang family.
