Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the employees of Fuman Restaurant saw Qin Wencheng, they were terrified.

“Y-young Lord Qin, why are you here?”

“Which room did that girl go to?” Qin Wencheng asked sternly as he fanned himself.

“The first room on the second floor,” a waiter quickly replied.

Qin Wencheng nodded and quickly left.

The employees looked at each other and thought to themselves that the woman who had just arrived was likely going to be cheated by Qin Wencheng.

Almost everyone thought that the heir of Duke Qin’s Residence was a refined, handsome, and noble young man. Many unmarried women in the capital regarded him as their ideal husband. If he was not engaged to the eldest legitimate daughter of the Qu family, many people would have coveted the position of his legitimate wife.

However, the employees knew that Qin Wencheng was nothing like what was rumored. Many young women had been taken away from this restaurant. Most of them were from ordinary families so they were easily taken by a few sweet words from him; they easily agreed to be with him without an identity. These young women’s backgrounds were not good, to begin with. Even if they were only with Qin Wencheng without a status, they could be considered to have flown up the social ladder no matter what. In any case, the employees felt that they were not in the position to sympathize with those young women.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoxiao stared at Qin Wencheng’s back as he went upstairs and muttered resentfully, “Hmph! She’s still pretending to be innocent. She must know that this restaurant is managed by the Qin family and deliberately came here to wait for Brother Wencheng!”

At this time, a waiter hurried over and greeted Yu Xiaoxiao, “Commandery

Princess.”

Yu Xiaoxiao was the future side consort of the Crown Prince after all. They naturally did not dare to neglect her.

However, Yu Xiaoxiao did not even spare the waiter a glance. She scoffed coldly and quickly went upstairs.

On the other side, Yu Yunxi had just taken a seat in the private room. She looked up and said to Meng Xia, “You should sit down too.”

“No, how can I sit with you?” Meng Xia quickly shook her head.

“This is an order. It’s boring for me to sit alone. Sit down,” Yu Yunxi said, pretending to be stern.

Meng Xia hesitated for a moment before she finally sat down.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Qin Wencheng and Yu Xiaoxiao walked in.

Yu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and said with a sneer, “Fuman Restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant. Aren’t afraid that you won’t even be able to pay for your tea?”

“Xiaoxiao, there’s no need for you to be so rude to this young lady,” Qin Wencheng said.

Yu Xiaoxiao’s smile froze immediately. She had known Qin Wencheng for many years. In the past, no matter how arrogant or despotic she was, even when she made things difficult for Qu Yu, he would not say anything. He would even praise her for staying true to herself. She did not expect that she had only mocked Yu Yunxi a little today, but she was reprimanded by him.

Although Yu Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied, she suppressed her resentment and said coquettishly, “Okay, Brother Wencheng. I understand. I was just worried that she wouldn’t be able to pay. It’d be embarrassing if that happens.”

Qin Wencheng was not in the mood to talk to Yu Xiaoxiao. He directly took a seat across from Yu Yunxi before he said, “Miss, don’t worry. What do you and your maidservant want to eat? I’ll treat you.”

Yu Yunxi felt like she had lost appetite when she looked at Qin Wencheng.

‘However, since he’s going to treat…’

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly. She chuckled and said in a leisurely manner, “Since the young lord wants to treat me, I won’t stand on ceremony then.” When she smiled, the iciness in her gaze faded a lot.

Qin Wencheng’s heart stirred again when he caught a glimpse of the outline of her delicate face under the veil. He quickly nodded and replied, “Of course.”

With this, Yu Yunxi called the waiter over.

“I want five servings of every dish in your restaurant.”

“Five servings?” the waiter was shocked. Then, he said softly, “Miss, can you finish them? There are so many dishes… It’ll take fifteen tables of people to finish all the food.’

Qin Wencheng chimed in gently, “That’s right, Miss. There are a lot of dishes in Fuman Restaurant. We won’t be able to finish all of them. We can’t possibly finish fifteen tables of food.’

“Who said we’re going to finish all of them? Earlier, I saw many beggars outside, and they looked hungry. I want to give the food to them,” Yu Yunxi said indifferently.

“This, this…

The waiter was a little anxious. After all, Fuman Restaurant had always been known for its elegance and nobility. Usually, their customers were nobles and high-ranking officials. Those who wore slightly worse clothes could not even enter the restaurant. As such, when he heard that the food would be given to the waiter, he could not help but worry about what their noble customers

would think. This was not different from destroying the reputation of their

restaurant.

Qin Wencheng’s smile also gradually vanished. If he really allowed the food to be given to the beggars today, his father definitely would not let him off.

Yu Yunxi rested her chin on the palm of her hand and sighed exaggeratedly before she said, “What’s wrong? Are you unwilling? Didn’t you agree very quickly earlier? Originally, I thought you were a kind person. As it turns out, you’re not even willing to spend this little bit of money.”

Qin Wencheng could only swallow back the refusal hanging on the tip of his tongue. His heart moved again when he looked at her sparkling eyes. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said to the waiter, “Just do it. The order has been given. Why are you still dawdling?”

With this, the waiter could only nod obsequiously. “Y-yes, Young Lord Qin. I’ll go now.”

The chefs in Fuman Restaurant worked quickly. In less than an hour, they prepared fifteen tables of food and brought it out to the beggars.

Unsurprisingly, there was a huge commotion at the entrance downstairs. The commoners were in disbelief, and the beggars were overjoyed. In just a moment, all the beggars within a radius of a few miles swarmed over.

At the same time, the window of another private room was pushed open.

Jiang Ying looked down at the commotion downstairs before he turned back to Feng Yili, who was sitting at the table, and said, “Your Royal Highness, the commotion is from the beggars snatching food…”

“Beggars?”

Surprised, Luo Xiuran stood up and walked over to the window to have a look.

After confirming that it was indeed as Jiang Ying had said, he muttered,

“Fuman Restaurant belongs to the Crown Prince of Xichu. Is he really so kind?”

At this moment, Jiang Chuan entered the room and hurriedly reported, “I found out that the young girl next door ordered the food, saying that she wanted to distribute the food to the beggars.”

“Luo Xiuran, don’t forget the reason we came to Xichu,” Feng Yili said coldly. His aura was cold and gloomy. Ever since Yu Yunxi passed away, it was as though his heart was sealed in ice. Nothing could move him.

“Okay, okay,” Luo Xiuran said sheepishly.

They had come to Xichu to seek revenge from the Imperial Preceptor. However, they had been here for a while now, but there was no sign of the Imperial Preceptor.

Luo Xiuran wondered when Feng Yili would ‘come back to life’. Now that Yu Yunxi was dead, did Feng Yili plan to follow her?

In the private room next door.

Qin Wencheng fanned himself and pretended to be gentle as he asked, “Alright, I’ve fulfilled my promise. Are you willing to tell me your name?”

“Do you really want to know my name?” Yu Yunxi asked with a slight smile as her eyes glinted coldly.

“Of course. We can be considered acquaintances now. How can I not know your name?” Qin Wencheng said with a smile.

Yu Yunxi replied, “Then listen carefully. My name is… Yu Yunxi.”

‘Yu Yunxi? Why does this name sound so familiar?’

Qin Wencheng’s smile stiffened slightly.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression was extremely unsightly. She said indignantly, “Yu? Is this a random name you came up with? How dare you give yourself the surname Yu?”

“Believe it or not, that’s my real name,” Yu Yunxi said nonchalantly as she smoothed out the crease on her sleeve. She had long lost her appetite, facing these two people. She looked at Meng Xia, silently sending an order.

“If your name is really Yu Yunxi, I’ll eat this bowl!” Yu Xiaoxiao said shrilly.

The people in the capital loved and respected the King of Zhenbei a lot. For this reason, in the early years, many of those with the same surname silently changed their surname as a gesture of respect.

For this reason, Yu Xiaoxiao was certain that Yu Yunxi was lying.

‘Yu Yunxi?’

When Yu Xiaoxiao’s shrill voice reached the next room, Feng Yili, who was drinking tea, directly broke the teacup. He did not care that the shards had cut his finger and that he was bleeding; he quickly stood up and left the room..
