He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

Suddenly seeing such an extraordinary person as Yan Juzhi, the surroundings seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Luo Qingfan's eyes sparkled, and she subconsciously took a step forward, her face beaming with enthusiasm, revealing what she thought was her most unique smile.

"Sir, we are..."

Yan Juzhi's expression remained unchanged as he took the smoked chicken from the waiter's hand, without even glancing at Luo Qingfan.

However, when his gaze fell on Li Huai-ren, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He deliberately gave Li Huai-ren a cold laugh, then turned around and closed the door.

The action was completed in one smooth motion, leaving the three people outside the door completely exposed.

Luo Qingfan was shocked to realize that she had been ignored like this, and considering her words and actions just now, she suddenly felt like a clown.

People around her started pointing and whispering, and Luo Qingfan was immediately filled with shame and indignation.

Li Huai-ren was no better off. He always prided himself on being the most dashing and debonair man, but he never expected that in the mere Ning County, there would be a man with an even more noble appearance than him.

Comparing the two, Li Huai-ren felt he had been outmatched, and his face turned red and then pale.

The waiter, still resentful of Luo Qingfan's earlier threat to report them to the authorities, couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of noble family in the capital is this? They can't even afford a smoked chicken! And they have to have their wives pay the bill?"

"And another thing, kid, who is your mother? So the person standing next to you isn't your mother?"

"A perfectly fine young woman, mingling with someone else's husband and son, is this the rule of your marquis's mansion in the capital? You're not even as shameful as us common folk!"

The waiter's words made Luo Qingfan lose face even more, and she stepped forward angrily: "You..."

"Light sail!"

Li Huai-ren grabbed Luo Qing-fan, his face already showing signs of anger.

Luo Qingfan immediately shut her mouth.

"let's go!"

Not wanting to cause any further trouble, Li Huai-ren pulled Luo Qing-fan away hastily.

The man who had just come out of the private room was wearing the insignia of a close advisor to the new emperor.

This mark is not recognized by others, but Le Hoai Nhan’s grandfather, the former Marquis Chung Dung, was a close minister of the late emperor and had also worn such a mark, so Le Hoai Nhan recognized it.

This made him realize that there must be some important people in Ning County, and that the man from earlier was probably looking for someone.

After leaving Zuixianglou, the three of them did not leave. Instead, they found a stall nearby, intending to order a bowl of snacks and chat about their next plans while eating.

Inside the private room, Yan Juzhi stuffed the stolen smoked chicken into An Wuyang's arms, then turned his gaze elsewhere, without saying a word from beginning to end.

However, the increasingly cold atmosphere around him made An Wuyang realize that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

Yan Yan gently tugged at An Wuyang's clothes.

"Sister, you and Yan'er should go home!"

“Yan’er and her brother are rich. From now on, Yan’er and her brother will pay for everything when we go out. They will never ask you for money.”

Yan Yan smiled, her face flushed, clearly quite angry at what Li En had just said.

"Yan'er!"

Yan Juzhi suddenly interrupted Yan Yan.

An Wuyang felt embarrassed and gently put down the smoked chicken. He thanked her and prepared to leave.

Yan Juzhi picked up the smoked chicken again and stuffed it into An Wuyang's hand.

"Once something is given away, there is no reason for it to be kept."

Yan Juzhi was known for his eccentric personality, so whatever he said now was the truth!

An Wuyang thanked them again before hurriedly bidding farewell to the two.

What she didn't know was that after An Wuyang came out of Zuixianglou, Yan Juzhi and Yan Yan followed behind her, protecting her at a distance.

This scene was witnessed by Li Huai-ren and others who were having tea and snacks.

"Father, is that Mother? She's holding a smoked chicken in her arms!"

Rean smiled as An Wuyang brought home the smoked chicken he had been craving. Tonight, he would be able to eat smoked chicken.

But when Li En saw Yan Juzhi and Yan Yan behind An Wuyang, his expression changed immediately.

"The bad guy and that bad girl are with Mother too. What exactly is Mother's relationship with them?"

Luo Qingfan looked at An Wuyang following Li En's words, and her expression immediately became complicated.

Li Huai-ren's face turned ashen, and with a "crack," he crushed the teacup in his hand.

An Wuyang arrived home safely and saw her neighbor's third aunt drying fermented black beans. Upon seeing An Wuyang, the aunt filled a jar with the beans for her.

An Wuyang then gave one of the smoked chickens to her third aunt. Over the years, her third aunt had been one of the few people who had taken good care of her, and An Wuyang naturally wouldn't forget her.

Auntie San couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After returning to his room, An Wuyang put the remaining smoked chicken in the cupboard and locked it with a small padlock.

After putting his things away, An Wuyang lay down on the couch to catch up on sleep.

Since she injured her head, she has been feeling weak lately.

Furthermore, without the constraints of devoting herself wholeheartedly to Li Huai-ren and his son, she just wanted to rest.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

When An Wuyang opened her eyes, she saw Li En jumping around and rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Mom, where's the smoked chicken you brought back this afternoon?"
