In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Shen Qian saw that the young man in front of her did not speak wildly as she had imagined, nor did he act condescendingly and try to drive her away.

Instead, he invited me to share the table with a humble and polite attitude.

I couldn't help but look up to him.

The maid Qiu Qiu stood silently behind him the whole time, with her head down and not saying a word.

As a mere servant, she dared not comment on the interactions among such nobles.

After all, this is the richest place in Liangdu, where the powerful and wealthy gather.

Shen Qian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:

"That's annoying."

She really didn't want to miss this opportunity to taste the state banquet.

Who knows if we will have the chance to eat this state banquet again after we leave here and Liangdu is defeated.

The two servants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the distinguished guest agreed to share the table.

The two looked at each other, their worries written all over their faces: their jobs were saved.

In the private room, the two of them introduced the state banquet dishes to Shen Qian and the young couple. Shen Qian selected a dozen or so dishes that sounded appetizing, then nodded.

"That's all."

Her actions not only frightened the servant, but also frightened the young man and woman sitting opposite her.

One person, sixteen dishes!

Isn’t this too extravagant?

Didn’t she see the price written on the back of the dish when she ordered it?

The cheapest dish at a state banquet costs one hundred taels.

There were sixteen dishes, five of which were main dishes. Judging from the prices, she spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver on this meal.

Even if they are rich, even if they are from a wealthy family, they wouldn't eat like this, right?

Seeing the two people opposite looking at her, Shen Qian opened her mouth wide and asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

Facing Shen Qian's question, the man reacted first and shook his head repeatedly:

"No...nothing."

"I just feel that if my sister orders so much, it might be a waste."

Facing the man's concern, Shen Qian waved her hand nonchalantly:

"If you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it away. There are so many people at home anyway."

"The two of you take a look at what you want to eat and order it. We are lucky enough to meet today, so I will treat you to eat together."

"This...this is not good, right?" The young man felt a little embarrassed. He had clearly invited the people across the table to share the table, and he was planning to pay for the people across the table later.

But when he saw the other party ordered dishes worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, the idea of ​​paying the bill was instantly extinguished.

The monthly allowance his family gave him was no more than a hundred taels, so he had to ask his mother for two thousand taels so that he could come to Yanqiong Tower and have a good time.

But she is not like the other sister.

"You're welcome." Shen Qian said generously:

"Since you guys ordered it, I'll try it too."

"This is my first time in Liangdu, and I'm curious about the quality of the dishes at this state banquet."

Seeing Shen Qian's insistence, the two people opposite just ordered three more dishes and handed the menu to the servant.

Seeing this, the servant was about to leave.

Then I saw the door being opened from the outside.

Shen Qian looked in the direction of the door and saw a man in equally luxurious attire walk in. As soon as he entered, he spoke rudely to the man sitting opposite Shen Qian:

"Oh! I thought someone had taken the box."

"So it's you, the good-for-nothing second son of the Liping County baron."

"How can you afford to come to Yanqionglou today? Let me see how many dishes you, a poor fellow, can order."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and took the menu from the servant.

When he saw the nineteen dishes marked on the menu, his eyes widened. Looking at the prices, he realized that the total cost of these dishes would be over ten thousand taels of silver. Suddenly, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face:

"you.."

"If you have foul language, get out." Shen Qian said with a cold face, after taking a sip of the tea poured by Qiu.

The noble young man was obviously stunned by the sudden interruption.

He didn't expect that there was someone in this room who dared to speak rudely to him?

A pair of eyes suddenly looked at Shen Qian unkindly:

"She's quite pretty, isn't she?"

"I insulted your lover..."

"Slap." Shen Qian uttered in a cold voice. She now knew too well how powerful the Supervisory Office was.

His identity as the Inspector General was confirmed, and he had no reason to be timid in the face of this powerful second generation.

I had been planning to use it on the young man opposite.

As a result, the other party was humble and polite.

Let your plan go unfulfilled.

But unexpectedly, another person came here and was eager to slap him in the face.

"Yes!" Qiu Tian responded, but he had already pulled his hand away.

There was a crisp sound of ‘pop’.

The noble young man was stunned.

They start fighting as soon as they disagree with each other.

Even the two people sitting opposite Shen Qian showed astonishment.

They all speculated about Shen Qian's identity in their hearts:

This noble lady...could she be a count or marquise from one of the loyalist armies?

But his temper is too bad.

The other party is the eldest son of Marquis Linshui. In addition to his title, his father is also a fourth-rank general in charge of the 5,000 imperial guards in the capital.

"Bitch!" The eldest son of the Marquis of Linshui cursed at Shen Qian and Qiu Tian.

He turned around and shouted to the two servants behind him:

"You're just going to watch?"

"Why don't you come over and help?"

Faced with the roar of the eldest son of Marquis Linshui, the two servants following behind him reacted immediately.

Rushed forward quickly.

But before the two men could get close, Qiu Qiu kicked out twice, hitting their vital points.

The two servants instantly covered their genitals, fell to the ground in pain, and kept wailing.

Seeing this, the eldest son of Marquis Linshui was about to run away, but Qiu Tian grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him back.

Perhaps because his body had been drained by alcohol and sex for a long time, he could not stand steadily. When he was pulled back, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Slap your face." Shen Qian spoke again.

Qiu Qiu swung his palm and slapped the eldest son of Marquis Linshui in the face.

'Snapped! '

'Snapped! '

Crisp sounds echoed throughout the room. Because the door was not closed, distinguished guests passing by in the corridor outside came over one after another.

Looking into the private room.

I saw...the eldest son of the famous Marquis of Linshui was caught and slapped.

And the person who slapped him was a woman they didn't even know.

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces were as wonderful as they could be.

Especially those who came with the eldest son of Marquis Linshui.

They witnessed the calmness with which the dignified and elegant woman gave orders and the aura of a superior that she possessed.

No one dared to step forward to help.

The eldest son of Marquis Linshui was allowed to be dragged and beaten until blood oozed from the corners of his mouth and his cheeks swelled up like a pig's head.

"Do you know him?" Shen Qian asked, looking at the second son of the Liping County uncle who was sitting opposite her.

If he didn't know him, this pig-headed man in front of him obviously wouldn't be able to call out his father's title and the identity of his second son so accurately.

Facing Shen Qian's question, the man nodded repeatedly:

"My name is Bai Yichuan, and he is Du Xuyang, the eldest son of Marquis Linshui."

"Marquis." Shen Qian nodded after hearing this.

But Du Xuyang, the eldest son of Marquis Linshui, who had been beaten into a pig's head, stretched out his voice when he heard Shen Qian's voice.

I thought she was afraid of her father's identity.

He immediately started to speak out:

"Now you know you're afraid?"

"late."

"I will definitely report it to my father, no matter how bad you are..."

As soon as he uttered those two words, without Shen Qian's order, Qiu Tian swung his palm and slapped Linshui Hou's eldest son Du Xuyang hard in the face again!

Anyway, I've been slapped so many times before, so this one won't make any difference.

'Snapped! 'sound.

The boy's stubborn mouth was completely defeated.

"Take the token and go to the Supervisory Office to get one hundred men."

"Thoroughly investigate the Marquis of Linshui."

"If there is any withholding of military pay, we will handle it according to the rules of the Supervisory Office." Shen Qian looked at Du Xuyang who was beaten into submission, took out the silver-white token representing the Supervisory Office's Inspector from her waist, threw it to Qiu Tian, ​​and ordered.
