ck up all the holes you can find around."Fāng Jǐnxiù had seen how others caught rabbits before. She bypassed Zōngyù and directly commanded Zōngbǎi.Zongyu raised an eyebrow, remaining silent, wanting t...Fang Jinshui smiled and took a step back, moving to the side to make way for Jiang Chuang. She gestured with her hand, inviting him forward.

As soon as Jiang Chuan stepped through the door, he took out a bank note worth five hundred taels of silver and placed it on the counter.

"Since I'm inviting the young lady to dinner, of course you'd want the best private room here."

Wu Niang looked at the money on the table, unsure what expression to put on her face. The best private room in their establishment only cost thirty taels of silver per night, and Jiang Chuan had given them enough silver to book all the private rooms in their entire inn.

Did she take the money or not

After much deliberation, she still looked up at Fang Jinshu for help.

Just take it, Master Jiang is generous. Just bring up all the signature dishes from the restaurant later.

Why not accept the silver delivered to your door for free

He still doesn't know what kind of hole he's dug for himself with this drink. Isn't it a loss if he just throws away the silver

Only after Fang Jinshiu reassured her, Wu Ma dared to accept the silver note. Jiang Chuang smiled without saying a word and followed the innkeeper's guidance upstairs.

Most of the guests in the lobby had left after the commotion. Those who remained either had big guts and weren't afraid of trouble, or they were unwilling to waste their money; having already paid, they continued eating despite leaving most of it untouched. That would be a real loss!

The dishes at Yu Ba Food House are not cheap.

This isn't mealtime either, after sending the person upstairs, Wu Ma immediately went to the back kitchen to have them prepare.

After Fang Jinxiu entered the private room, Jiang Chuan closed the door behind her. She unconsciously raised an eyebrow and grabbed the precious sleeve crossbow hidden in her sleeve.

If Jiang Chuang dared to do anything out of line, she would shoot him full of holes.

Even with unparalleled martial arts, he couldn't dodge so many arrows within such a short distance.

"Fang, why are you so nervous"

After Jiang Chuang entered the gate, seeing Fang Jinxiu's wary eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you afraid of me"

Has his reputation in the capital already fallen to such a low point

Fan Jinxiu replied faintly, "Master Jiang's appearance at our wine shop today wasn't to invite me for a drink, was it"

"Now that there's no one else here, you can speak your mind."

Jiang Chuang walked to the table and sat down by himself. A waiter knocked on the door and brought in a pot of tea. Jiang Chuang was as comfortable as he was at home, showing no sign of tension that this was the territory of his competitor, even an enemy.

He poured a cup of tea for Fang Jinshu too, inviting her to come and sit.

"Lady Fang is as intelligent as I imagined. Come, sit here. I'll tell you anything you wish to know."

"I said I wouldn't hurt you."

If Fang Jinshu was that easy to believe other people's words, she wouldn't have lived to this day.

Although she had passed, her vigilance remained high, even as she sat across from Jiang Chuang. Her other hand remained clenched around the crossbow under the table.

She picked up the tea that Jiang Chuang pushed over, drank it in one gulp without any hesitation. She had been watching the commotion outside for a long time, and her mouth was indeed dry now.

After finishing, she found it wasn't enough to quench her thirst, and passed the cup back.

One more drink.

Jiāng Chuǎn was stunned for a moment, then smiled and picked up the teapot to pour her another cup.

Seeing Fang Jinshui take it and drink it down without hesitation, he rested his chin in his hand and asked.

"Want some more"

"No need."

"I thought Lady Fang had been wary of me all along. So, what You're not afraid I'd poison you in your tea"

He deliberately lowered his voice, his eyes narrowed.

Fang Jinshi smiled. "You're capable of poisoning me, that's quite a skill."

Jiang Chuang raised an eyebrow and said, "Knowing Madam Fang's medical skills are renowned, how dare I show off in front of such a divine physician"

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu frowned. How did Jiang Chuang know she was good at medicine

After arriving in the capital, she did not reveal her medical skills to anyone. She even had the health pills for the Seventh Prince concealed so that he wouldn't know they were made by her.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Jiang Chuang saw that she wouldn't admit it, and he smiled softly.

Fāng Jǐn xiù seeing this situation simply couldn't make head nor tail of it, strange, really too strange.

Since Jiang Zhuang is Yuan Buyu's person, he should know that she and everyone in her clan have made a death pact with Yuan Buyu. The two are absolutely enemies, not friends.

Since the moment he entered, no, since Jiang Chuang stepped down from the carriage, she couldn't detect any hostility on him.

Even, there's a bit of a feeling of wanting to please myself. Is that an illusion

If this was all an act, then Jiang Chuang's composure was too profound, so deep that even she couldn't detect a single flaw. She even doubted he wasn't an enemy at all.

Jiang Chuang continued to refill the tea for the two of them. After saying that, he began to chatter idly with her, claiming he would tell her everything she wanted to know. Every time Fang Jinshuu steered the conversation toward his purpose, he would steer it away, avoiding the topic.

Not until the buddy knocked again to bring out the dishes did Jiang Chuang exclaim in surprise at the full table of food. It wasn't even mealtime yet.

Just looking at it makes me hungry. I'm really starving.

After he finished speaking, he truly sat down and started eating. He nodded and praised as he ate.

"The taste is really good. I've eaten at all the restaurants in Beijing, but yours has the best food."

"As expected of vegetables from Jinxiu Mountain Villa, I'm really curious about your villa now."

"In such a barren place as Xizhou, Madam Fang was able to grow such delicious vegetables. Jinshu Mountain Villa truly lives up to its reputation."

He was eating and showering Fang Jinshui with compliments.

Fang Jinxiu had already gotten used to it. Jiang Chuang was too strange. Now, no matter what he said, she wouldn't be surprised or take it to heart. Before figuring out his true purpose for approaching her, she would maintain a watchful attitude towards everything.

"Heh heh, if it's good, eat more."

Should we put something in his food

Who calls him Yuan Buyu's person.

Fang Jinshi's lips curled up subtly. A small pinch of medicinal powder had been silently dissolved into the soup when she got up to serve the dishes.

She smiled and said, "If Lord Jiang likes it, eat more. After all, he spent 500 taels of silver."

She put the plate of stir-fried vegetables laced with medicine in front of Jiang Chuang. He was oblivious, even feeling a little surprised and flattered. He reached out and picked up a chopstickful of vegetables, sending it into his mouth.

After finishing, they were greatly impressed.

"Sweet and refreshing, being able to eat such vegetables this season makes the whole person feel much more comfortable and clear. It's much better than big fish and meat."

He didn't expect Fang Jinxiu to proactively serve him dishes, although his motive was quite suspicious.

Jiang Chuangming knew this dish might be problematic, but he ate it without hesitation.

After finishing, he silently felt his body. It seemed like nothing was different. Could it be that he overthought things

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Fang Jinshu sat back down and continued to ask persistently.

"Master Jiang, you've eaten and drunk. Now can you tell me your purpose"

If he dared to say that he came today just for this meal, she wouldn't mind adding a little more spice to the tea later.

It's no fun spending three days and three nights living in a toilet!

Jiang Chuang gracefully wiped his lips, looking nothing like the notorious Jiang Ye rumored to be as fierce as a tiger.

"I don't have any purpose, if I had to give a reason."

Jiang Chuang raised his head, his eyes suddenly becoming profound.

"Jiang wants to marry Fang as his wife."eryone financially. Su Yusheng, that kid, is now just like those lively little ones at home, treating her with utmost respect every day, being polite and courteous.Once arrogant and overbearing, with...
