Soon, we arrived at Songhe Tower.

Compared with ordinary restaurants and inns, this place is much more stylish.

Chang Shoufang went to take a shower and change clothes, and only Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue were sitting in front of the Eight Immortals Pear Blossom Table.

Lou Xinyue was silent for a long time, then suddenly spoke first: "Once the person is rescued, I will fulfill my promise and help you kill Master Jia in the shortest possible time. Once he is dead, the hunting order will be lifted."

"But don't let anything slip later!" she said in a serious tone.

Guan Ning played dumb: "What did you let slip?"

"What do you think?" Lou Xinyue was cold and seemed not to want Chang Shoufang to know her current background and identity.

"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you. Don't worry, I know my limits." Guan Ning said.

Lou Xinyue gave him a cold look and thought, who cares about your teasing!

Guan Ning asked curiously, "However, your background and Mr. Chang's background are completely unrelated. How come you two are so familiar with each other, even calling each other uncle?"

Lou Xinyue was cold and indifferent, like an iceberg. Although beautiful, she kept people at a distance. "What does this have to do with you?"

Guan Ning was choked and looked unhappy: "Ask, is it not okay?"

"Okay, but I don't want to answer." Lou Xinyue closed her eyes and folded her arms, looking very charming.

Guan Ning frowned: "I say, woman, is it because of your monthly period that you are so irritable?"

Lou Xinyue's face instantly turned cold, and her sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent: "What did you say?!"

"It's about menstruation!" Guan Ning deliberately provoked.

"Shameless scoundrel, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth off!" Lou Xinyue was furious, and the cold air sealed the entire private room. She could not help but take action, and the situation was tense and critical.

Snapped!

Chang Shoufang pushed the door open and walked in. In an instant, Lou Xinyue quickly sat back down, and everything returned to calm.

"Uncle Chang, you're here."

Guan Ning smiled at Lou Xinyue, as if to say, "Go ahead and do it."

Lou Xinyue gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes and brows were cold, but she couldn't do anything.

Chang Shoufang walked in, looking like a completely different person. His messy hair had been combed and tied up with a wooden hairpin, and his dirty clothes had been changed into clean ones. He looked radiant.

Although he is no longer the Minister of Revenue, he is still energetic and has the air of an old horse waiting to be stable. His weather-beaten face does not have the fierceness of people like Zhao Yi, but is only kind and calm.

"Tsk tsk, it's true that clothes make the man. Uncle Chang looks at least 20 years younger with this outfit!" Guan Ning praised without reservation.

Flatterer! Lou Xinyue cursed in her heart.

"Hahaha!" Chang Shoufang laughed, stroking his beard, as if he was very happy to hear such words: "Prince, you are too kind."

"I am already in my twilight years, but you, my prince, are in your prime. The future belongs to you."

In just a few words, it describes all the flavors of life.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Uncle Chang, you can't say that. Youth depends on your mindset. Some people may be old, but their hearts are still alive and they still shine brightly."

"Some people are young, but their hearts are dead. No matter how you look at them, they seem dead."

When Chang Shoufang heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise, and his whole body suddenly became enlightened.

"Youth depends on mentality. The prince is very insightful!" He bowed and at this moment even regarded Guan Ning as a peer.

Guan Ning grinned and said, "Uncle Chang, please take a seat first. The food is getting cold."

"I'll have a drink with you."

"Okay, thank you, Prince." Chang Shoufang bowed.

Lou Xinyue on the side was slightly surprised. It was obvious that Uncle Chang respected Guan Ning, a young man he met for the first time.

"I offer a toast to Uncle Chang. I wish you to overcome this hardship and have good fortune in the future."

Chang Shoufang had never seen such a satisfied young man before. His face was flushed and he raised his glass: "Thank you for your good wishes, Your Highness."

Lou Xinyue beside her also raised her glass.

The three of them drank it all in one gulp, and the dinner officially began.

Guan Ning was very relaxed, not feeling cramped at all: "Uncle Chang, I received news that not only have you been acquitted this time, but the court may also return the seized property."

Chang Shoufang smiled bitterly: "It's just a little money and some clothes. The house originally belonged to the court. There's actually nothing to pay back."
