Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Sure enough, after just a cup of tea, Wei Jiayan and her group arrived at the teahouse called "Mingxiang Pavilion".

This teahouse is quite big, almost as big as a restaurant, with three floors in total.

The first floor is used to receive some ordinary people. Those who cannot afford too high a price usually sit on the first floor. It is like a restaurant lobby and has a stage. Usually they sing songs and sometimes tell stories.

There are small private rooms on the second floor, but they all have a minimum consumption requirement. If you don’t spend enough, you can only sit on the first floor.

The third floor is the best private room, which can even be used for rest. The private room is large enough to seat about 20 people.

Originally, the waiter wanted to take them to the private room on the second floor, but Dugu Xin said there were eleven of them in total, and they gladly accepted when he recommended the "Snow Top Green" to them, so he took them to the third floor.

At this time, Xun Feng was waiting for Wei Jiayan and the others downstairs. Seeing them coming, Xun Feng first greeted them and then said, "I'll take you upstairs, and then we'll go all the way to the third floor."

At this moment, Liu Jingyue just wanted to say: How nice it would be if there was an elevator!

Before entering the house, several people heard the sound of a pipa coming from inside.

Wei Jiayan was so furious that she practically burst through the door and said angrily, "I was wondering why you didn't want to go shopping with us? Turns out you're enjoying yourself here."

Hearing the tone, he knew without even looking at her face that Wei Jiayan was angry, so Chu Xiaoyi hurried forward to support Wei Jiayan: "Hey, Madam, what are you talking about? None of us knew that there was someone playing music alone here!" As he said that, he glanced at Qin Sanniang who was playing the pipa.

But Qin Sanniang seemed not to hear anything and continued to play the piano. After all, she was just performing to earn money honestly, so what was there to be afraid of?

Dugu Xin could clearly see that his sister-in-law was angry, so he chimed in, "That's right! We just wanted to take a break and drink some tea, but who knew we'd get a performance as a bonus after buying this tea?"

Wei Jiayan thought Dugu Xin was helping Chu Xiaoyi lie, so she looked at the other three and asked, "Really?"

The three of them agreed in unison.

Then Chu Xinghan and Chu Xingchen hurried forward to help their mother to sit down, and invited several other sisters and Li Chu to sit down, and then sat down.

After they sat down, he poured a cup of tea for each of them. Not to mention that they had been walking outside for quite a long time, they were actually a little thirsty.

Basically, they just picked up the cup and drank it, but there were three exceptions, namely Li Chu, Li Ruo and Dugu Jingyao.

Especially Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao, they realized something was wrong when they smelled the tea. Li Chu grew up in the palace and could smell that the tea was the scent of the tribute snow top green tea.

As for Dugu Jingyao, she spent most of the second half of her previous life in the palace, so she knew that this tea was the Snow Top Green Tea.

Both of them were puzzled, but they only paused for a moment before taking a sip without leaving any trace.

Just as they finished drinking, Qin Sanniang's song also ended.

Qin Sanniang then asked, "Dear guests, the guests who just came here didn't have any favorite songs. I wonder if the new guests have any favorite songs?"

Everyone knew that the wife of the Zhennan Marquis was angry, so they all looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and did not answer. Qin Sanniang was also a person who could read people's expressions. She naturally realized that the others were waiting for the wife to speak, so she waited too.

Wei Jiayan said without hesitation: "Miss, please leave first. We have something important to discuss."

How could Qin Sanniang not hear that this was an order to leave, so she stood up tactfully, holding her pipa and said, "Well, I'll take my leave, everyone. If you need anything, just ask the waiter to call me." After that, she left the room and closed the door.

Qin Sanniang was naturally happy. She could play fewer songs and still make money. She was naturally happy to have some free time!

The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

However, Li Chu was the first to break the silence because of his previous doubts: "Is this tea sold in this teahouse?"

Dugu Xin nodded and said, "Of course it's sold in this teahouse, is there anything wrong with that?"

Although Li Chu was puzzled, he was certain that this tea was Xueding Hancui. But wasn't this a tribute tea? How could it appear in a teahouse?

So he said without hiding anything: "I taste this and it tastes exactly like the snow-capped emerald green that was presented as tribute to the palace."

Chu Xiaoyi said, "Chu'er, did you taste it?"

Wei Jiayan also realized: "What do you mean by Chu'er tasted it? Do you also know that this is Xueding Hancui?"

Chu Xiaoyi nodded first, then shook his head and said, "To be precise, it wasn't me who tasted it, but the waiter who directly introduced it to us."

Then he added: "That's why we can go to the third floor and there's someone to play music for us."

After listening to it, Dugu Jingyao said, "It seems that someone took advantage of the tribute to take some tea leaves from it, which is why there are these snow-capped green leaves." After saying that, she took a sip.

Li Ruo, however, was filled with righteous indignation and said, "I suspect this has something to do with the Yang family. After all, the power of the palace is now in the hands of Concubine Yang. How could she not know that something is missing? Unless she's deliberately trying to protect it."

Although Li Chu also felt that what Li Ruo said made sense, he still said, "Ruo'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Ruo looked at Li Chu as if what I said was absolutely right.

Li Chu helplessly explained to Li Ruo, "I will report this to my father when I return to the palace, and we will investigate this secretly together."

Hearing this, Li Ruo's brows visibly relaxed a little.
