The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Gao Di was puzzled. "Second cousin, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Zhongyi smiled and said, "Cousin Gao, I'll take you out to play. Where do you want to go? I'm very familiar with Dali City."

Gao Di declined politely, "Second cousin, I have an appointment with the head steward to play cards this afternoon, so I won't be going."

Zhou Zhongyi's expression changed slightly, and he reached out to stop him. "Cousin, cousin, I'm going with you."

Gao Di looked at him strangely. "Second cousin, did the chief steward also ask you out?"

Zhou Zhongyi laughed dryly, "No, but I'm a VIP and regular customer of Changfuji. We're neighbors, and we used to play cards together."

"Oh." Gaudi thought thoughtfully, "Cousin, why don't you fight now?"

The smile on his face froze at the corners of his mouth. Zhou Zhongyi stopped and said reluctantly, "I remembered that I have something else to do. Cousin, you go by yourself."

In Anlan Hall, Lu Yun rubbed her chin after listening to Cai He's words. "Tell me, what is Zhou Er thinking? Is he stupid?"

Am I wrong or is he just a fickle playboy?

Zhou Zhongyi returned to the courtyard in a state of despair and began to lie in wait for the corpse for another day until Manager Liao came to invite him over.

In the Sansi Hall, the King of Nanyue held his teacup and blew a breath of air comfortably. He had been lucky in the card game recently and was winning big.

"Zhongyi, your uncle Dong's little daughter Panpan will be in Dali this afternoon. Please go pick her up and take your sister Panpan around the city."

Zhou Zhongyi was dejected. "Yes, father."

The King of Nanyue waved his hand in disdain and said, "Leave quickly." He didn't want the dead child's gloomy face to ruin the feng shui plan he had worked so hard to build.

After lunch, Zhou Zhongyi ran into his cousin Gao, who was happily rushing to the next door, and suddenly felt hopeless. It took him half an hour to reach the designated location as required.

Miss Dong was wearing a peach-pink dress, with almond eyes, rosy cheeks, red lips and white teeth. She stood under a tree full of peach blossoms and attracted a lot of attention.

With her eyes curved, she bowed slowly, "Pan Pan greets the Second Young Master."

Zhou Zhongyi nodded and said, "Miss Dong, there's no need to be so polite."

Dong Pan said softly, "If Second Young Master doesn't mind, you can just call me Panpan."

Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were vacant. "Miss Panpan, where do you want to go? I know most of the shops in the city."

Dong Pan pouted slightly, looking innocent and sweet. "Second brother, I heard that Changfuji in Dali City is very famous. I want to go and have a look. Grandpa likes to eat spicy chicken very much. Panpan wants to bring some back to honor him."

Zhou Zhongyi's eyes focused, "Then let's go to Changfuji."

Dong Pan followed his second brother into the carriage. The carriage was not big, so Zhou Zhongyi could only sit on the outside uncomfortably, glaring at Dazhi with great disgust.

At the entrance of Changfuji, Zhou Zhongyi showed his wooden sign and was taken upstairs. Dong Pan whispered, "Second brother, you're amazing! You actually have a VIP wooden sign! Panpan wants it too."

Zhou Zhongyi was so frightened that he quickly put away the wooden sign and pulled the waiter over to ask, "Is your parent here?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, I will ask the steward to come over right away."

Zhou Zhongyi's spirits lifted, he straightened his robe, and posed in the style he was most satisfied with.

Dong Pan's lips curled slightly. When she heard footsteps coming from the stairs, she quickly put on a gentle and harmless smile and leaned closer. "Second brother, thank you for taking me on this trip. Changfuji is indeed well-deserved of its reputation."

Zhou Zhongyi nodded proudly, "Of course."

The person at the stairs saw a man and a woman having an intimate conversation.

Without pausing, he placed the dishes from the waiter's hand on the table one by one. "Please enjoy your meal, my dear guest."

Dong Pan rolled his eyes, picked up a piece of meat floss with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. "Well, it tastes really good." After saying that, he nodded to the maid beside him.

The maid took out a piece of silver from her purse and placed it on the table. She raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly, "My young lady is kind-hearted. This is a reward for you."

Zhou Zhongyi's face darkened slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the silver being put into someone's sleeve. "Thank you, my dear guest."

The maidservant angrily scolded, "Is this how you treat guests? A dog barks and wags its tail after eating buns."

Dong Pan covered his mouth and scolded in a low voice, "Congxi, stop talking." Then he apologized to Zhou Zhongyi, who was standing beside him with an extremely grim expression, "Congxi grew up with me. I spoiled her. Second brother, please don't bother with her."

He didn't even look at the person in front of him from beginning to end.

Zhou Zhongyi's face was stiff. "Miss Dong, the scenery of Blue Moon Pool is also very nice."

Dong Pan stood up gracefully, with a look of admiration on her face, "Second brother, please take me to the Blue Moon Pool. I heard that drinking the water from the Blue Moon Pool..." She suddenly stopped talking, and a few traces of red clouds appeared on her face.

The waiter said with a forced smile, "Your Excellency is well-informed. If lovers drink the water from the Blue Moon Pond on a full moon night, the God of Love will bless them to grow old together and never be separated."

Zhou Zhongyi was silent. Dong Panpan shyly glanced ahead and said softly, "What a coincidence! It's still a few days before the fifteenth."

Dashou stood there, watching them leave expressionlessly. With a ding, a small silver nugget was thrown onto the table.

The waiter said indignantly, "Boss, the shop is now on the right track. You don't have to watch over it all the time."

Dashou nodded, turned and left without saying a word.

"You're going to Kyoto?" Lu Yun looked at Cai He in surprise. "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

Caihe left the inner room quietly and closed the door.

Dashou looked at the scenery outside the window, his expression no different from usual. "Sister, I plan to open Changfuji back to Kyoto. This is a plan I have thought of a long time ago."

Lu Yun remained calm. "Although these matters can be handed over to our managers, if you're worried, you can make a few trips yourself. However, the northern border is currently in turmoil, so it's better to open a shop slowly from South Vietnam to the north. Plus, I'm pregnant now, and I'd feel empty if you left." After saying this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "After getting pregnant, people are always sentimental. There's no rush to open a shop. First, let the baby in my belly meet her aunt."

Dashou's eyes moved slightly and he no longer mentioned the matter of opening a shop in Kyoto.

That night, Cai He told Lu Yun everything she had learned. After listening, Lu Yun shook her head and sighed, not knowing what to say. Lying on the bed, Zhou Boli held her in his arms. Seeing that she looked worried, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yun glared at him, "None of you men are good."

The prince, who had been scolded for no reason, felt quite aggrieved. He gently stroked his wife's back and said, "What have we men done to you, my lady?"

Lu Yun burbled out the entire story between Dashou and Zhou Zhongyi, and finally sighed, "It's not like our Dashou has to get married, but it's so unclear and confusing that it's really uncomfortable. On the one hand, he does this to my Dashou, and on the other hand, he does this to my Dashou with another woman. My sister was confused for a while when she was young. What if she gets hurt..."

The more Lu Yun spoke, the more worried she became. Her eyes turned red and she lay in her husband's arms without saying a word.
