Lu Jinfeng and Madam Li had lived in Xingyu Village for more than ten years. Although they had been bullied and rolled their eyes many times, their lives were at least safe.
However, a few months ago, some kind of mysterious killer appeared and wanted to take Lu Jinfeng's life.
It was probably at that time that news of Lu Jinfeng's relationship with the North King Palace spread out.
However, it was still a mystery to them how the news had spread.
Qin Tianshui stopped, seeing her unfriendly expression, he leisurely drank a mouthful of tea before saying: "Don't be agitated yet, how long have I known you, the person who assassinated your Lu Jinfeng had already appeared, of course I did not reveal it, I do not have that kind of godly ability, how could I predict his future?"
The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile, "I don't know if you can predict the future, but it shouldn't be that simple for you and Master Chen to come to the Linzhou to investigate this case at that time, right?"
Qin Tianhai sighed, "Little girl, being too smart isn't a good thing for you."
However, since she knew, she had to be smart even if she wasn't. After all, there were some people that she cared about.
"Tell me, are you here for Lu Jinfeng?"
Then, just in time for the poison pastries, he went to the cell to see the play and get to know her.
Starting from her side was the best opportunity to get close to Lu Jinfeng.
Otherwise, why would he shamelessly go to Xingyu Village to join in on the fun after helping her escape from prison?
His goal all along was to find an opportunity to get close to Lu Jinfeng.
However, at that time, the main reason I came to Linzhou City was to find out about those people in the prison. Coincidentally, I met with you during that time, and only got to know Lu Jinfeng when I was just right.
He didn't know whether his words were true or false, but hearing his words, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, Qin Tiansei's intentions weren't pure. In the beginning, she had some confidence that as long as he didn't do anything that would truly hurt them, she would be able to open and close her eyes. Qin Tianshui was not a good person, but it was not a bad thing for them to have a good relationship with him.
A royal relative could easily resolve many matters.
Even though she thought this in her heart, she still looked gloomy on the surface.
Qin Tiansei rubbed his nose, "Alright, let's stop this. The weather is so good, it's not suitable for us to lose our temper, right? Although I have some reasons to get close to you, I have never done anything to hurt you, and have even helped you quite a few times, haven't I? "
After pausing for a moment, he added, "Also, I want to find Lu Jinfeng, who is the heir of the North King Palace, to do something that is beneficial to each other on the basis of cooperation, but I don't want to do anything to him. Although our goals are different, we can still become friends and chat merrily together."
The usually eloquent Chen Mu drew back the corners of her eyebrows. Although she didn't quite agree with what Qin Tianshui had said, his words were still acceptable.
As a businessman, she was the one who felt the most about people who were close to each other. There was no such thing as an eternal friend, only eternal benefits. A prince like Qin Tiansei had no reason to help them. Now that she knew he had other intentions, her heart was at peace.
"So that's why you're saying, you just want to work with Lu Jinfeng on a few things?"
"Yeah, this kind of thing might be beneficial for him." Qin Tiansei shrugged. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. I won't do anything to him either." In the capital, the power of the North King Palace is even greater than a idle prince like me. If I want to deal with Lu Jinfeng, I have to avoid doing anything right? "
As he spoke, the wine and dishes from the restaurant had already been served. Qin Tiansei smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about the things that are disheartening. You have just arrived at the capital, so I should show you my hospitality. Here, have a taste of the city's most unique good wine and dishes."
Qin Tianshui was still a prince after all, and he didn't care about how much he spent even if he spent it. Thus, when the food and wine were served, both Chen Mu and Chen Qingyun were a little dumbfounded.
Sweet and sour carp, steamed pork ribs, mao tofu, roast lamb, roast chicken, fried duck in sauce …
This was something they could count. What they could not count were all dishes with different types of ingredients.
Seeing that Chen Mu Mu and Chen Qingyun were a little dazed, Qin Tiansei introduced with a smile, "You two should have never seen this dish before right? This is a White Jade Lotus made from the best tofu and added with ten unique ingredients.
Chen Qingyun had long since been unable to hold himself back, he anxiously reached out with his tofu chopsticks and grabbed the petals of the tofu, wanting to bring them to his mouth. However, he had forgotten about the freshness of the tofu, the petals of the tofu which he had just picked up had not left his plate, and before they could even reach his mouth, they had already fallen onto the table.
"This …" Chen Qingyun was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, my hand is shaking."
"It has nothing to do with the trembling of your hands. It's just that the tofu is too tender, so it's only natural that you can't take it." Qin Tiansei said as he handed a spoon to him. "Just like me, first scoop the tofu petals into the bowl and then slowly eat them. It'll be much more delicious like this."
Chen Qingyun mimicked him as he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of tofu petals into his mouth, and said in surprise: "This taste is really good."
As he spoke, he scooped up another piece of tofu and placed it into the bowl in front of Chen Mu Mu. Blinking his bright eyes, he said, "You should try it as well. This taste is simply too great."
Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head, and disapproval flashed across his face. After he placed the tofu petals into his mouth and savored them, he shook his head even more.
Qin Tiansei's expression turned ugly. "Not tasty?"
"It's not as delicious as I thought." Chen Mu Mu Bai replied directly, "I'm a bit old, not smooth enough, and not soft enough."
"What do you mean?" He had eaten Chen Mu's cooking, and although he was not displeased, the doubt in his words was still very clear.
"If the tofu petals were fresh and tender enough, they would have scattered upon touching the chopsticks. You wouldn't have been able to pick them up at all. And you saw it just now." Chen Mu looked at Chen Qingyun and laughed, "He was able to use the chopsticks to pick it up, and only when he was ready to eat did the tofu drop from the chopsticks.
Qin Tiansei was speechless. "You're so picky. Could it be that you can make tofu petals that taste even better than this one?"
"Of course." In the past, when she lived alone, she was picky with her mouth. Although her culinary skills were not comparable to those 5-star chefs, in terms of ingredients and principle, she was better at holding the dishes here.
Qin Tiansei looked at her with interest. "If there's a chance, you can try your cooking skills again."
"Let's talk about it when we have the chance." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't reply prematurely, but said with a smile, "For a naughty and picky Royal family like you, your appetite is very hard to please. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't do such a thankless task."
"Aren't you very confident in the dishes you cook?" Qin Tianshui sneered.
"But you know I'm a country girl, not a cook." Chen Mu Mu Mu retorted.
Qin Tianshui: "…"
There were a total of thirty-eight dishes on the table. Qin Tiansei was quite enthusiastic as he enthusiastically introduced every dish.
Chen Qingyun happily buried his head in his food, while Chen Mu Mu seemed to shake her head in regret at every dish.
In the end, Qin Tiansei's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damned girl, I'm the one treating you today. Can't you give me some face and say that it's delicious? You can't be happy until you slap my face, right? "
In any case, he wasn't able to put on the airs of a prince in front of her, so it didn't matter if he occasionally slapped his own face.
Chen Mu Mu shrugged and said fearlessly, "If it doesn't taste good, then it doesn't taste good. Could it be that I can't say it?"
Qin Tiansei narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a delicacy that even the late emperor was praising endlessly."
"So what? Robby has his own favorite dishes. I might not like the taste that he likes." Chen Mu Mu replied, "What's more, I've clearly eaten better food. Why do I have to hide it? It's not tasty enough to begin with."
"You really dare to say that." Qin Tiantai had a helpless expression on his face. "So noisy. Aren't you afraid that others will hear of it and arrest you for blasphemy against the will of the late emperor?"
"I remember that the late emperor wasn't a fatuous ruler." Chen Mu paused for a moment. "The current Emperor doesn't seem to be either. I've already said that the food in this restaurant isn't tasty. Could it be that he really wants to lock me up?"
"I'm afraid of you." Qin Tianshui felt a headache coming on, "If you're so capable, next time you make a table of food that's even better than Lin Xian Building, I'll definitely support you with my hands and feet."
"I will." Chen Mu Mu smiled mysteriously.
"When?" Qin Tianli seemed to sense something and asked.
"It depends on your mood and luck." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied.
"So, you're really planning to open a restaurant in Beijing?" Qin Tianshui asked.
In the past, Chen Mu Mu Mu was in the food business, so Qin Tianshui didn't find it strange that she wanted to open a shop.
Chen Mu Mu nodded, "It will open."
Qin Tiansei's eyes flashed, and he chuckled: "So you want to compete with this Lin Xian Building for business?"
Chen Mu Mu opened his eyes wide, and looked at him strangely: "Seeing you speaking up for the Lin Xian Building, could it be that the boss behind the Lin Xian Building is you?"
Qin Tiansei's smile froze on his face as he lightly waved his folding fan. "It's not me, I still don't have that much ability to grasp Lin Xian Building in my hands."
Hearing Qin Tiantai's words, Chen Mu was stunned. "Based on what you said, isn't the background of the Lin Xian Building simple?"
"Of course it's not simple. After all, this is a restaurant that the late emperor praised. If you go up against it, there's not even the slightest bit of benefits." Qin Tianli said.
Chen Mu sneered, "The natural selection of resources, the law of the jungle, there are so many businesses in this world. It doesn't mean that I can't open another restaurant since he opened one, right?"
Qin Tianliang was slightly startled, "You almost made a mistake. I'm not opposed to you opening a restaurant, but rather, I want to remind you that you can't afford to offend the person behind this restaurant."
"I can't afford to offend too many people. It's more than enough for one or two of them." Chen Mu paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Tiansei, "You must know who the master behind the Lin Xian Building is based on what you have said. Based on our relationship, you should at least remind us, in case we go around and play around with you."
