“Lord, it’s me.”
There were a few knocks on the door. Chu Yun’s voice could be heard.
When Lu Sheng heard his voice, she hurriedly shouted on behalf of Chu Sihan, “e in.”
Chu Yun, who was outside, was slightly stunned.
He had just pushed open the door when he saw Lu Sheng looking at him with a bright smile.
She even took the initiative to greet him. “Guard Chu, long time no see. Have you eaten?”
Chu Yun stared at her warily as he entered fearfully.
“Lord, is she alright?”
Chu Yun walked to Chu Sihan’s side and asked softly.
Lu Sheng was not as enthusiastic as she was today when she last saw him. Her sudden enthusiasm caught him off guard.
Chu Sihan teased. “It’s alright. Give her her reward and she’ll return to normal.”
So it was because of the reward!
Chu Yun was suddenly enlightened. He knew it. How could Lu Sheng be so friendly to him for no reason?
“Here, this is from Dali Temple.”
Chu Yun took out a stack of banknotes from his chest pocket. There were ten notes, each containing ten thousand taels.
Lu Sheng smacked her lips and received them with a smile.
“We’re rich! We’re rich!”
She dipped her finger onto her tongue and counted the banknotes with a smile.
Chu Yun was speechless.
Chu Sihan chuckled and ignored Chu Yun’s surprised gaze. He smiled and asked, “Since you’re rich, can you treat us to a meal?”
“Yes!”
Lu Sheng nodded heavily and looked at the two of them. “Lord and Guard Chu, feel free to tell me what you want to eat. However…”
She paused and said with an embarrassed expression, “Make sure it’s cheaper.”
“Wow!”
Chu Yun was shocked. “You just received a hundred thousand taels. What’s wrong with treating us to a more luxurious meal?”
“That’s true!”
She blinked guiltily and smiled awkwardly. “What do you want to eat?”
“Let’s go to Peach Blossom Restaurant.”
Chu Yun said maliciously, “The Peach Blossom Wine there is definitely top-notch. Moreover, the roast goose is famous in the capital for being delicious. Oh right, the Good Friend Peach Blossom Meat tastes very good too. Ah, there’s also Peach Blossom Fish Soup. The fish meat is tender and smooth, and the soup is white and fresh. It’s also excellent.”
Lu Sheng subconsciously swallowed her saliva, climbed up, and said to the two of them, “Let’s go, we’ll leave now.”
Chu Sihan raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you just finish your porridge?”
“Uh… I’ll digest it after walking for a while.”
She laughed dryly and urged the two of them. “It’s almost lunchtime. There are so many delicious things in this Peach Blossom Restaurant. If we’re late, there won’t be any seats left.”
Chu Yun nodded. “Miss Lu is right. It’s difficult to find seats in Peach Blossom Restaurant. We should go there earlier.”
The three of them walked from the inn to Peach Blossom Restaurant. Thankfully, there was still an empty table when they arrived.
What puzzled Lu Sheng was that almost everyone in the building was male. This was a little strange.
Lu Sheng did not know what was delicious, so she passed the privilege of ordering to Chu Yun.
Chu Yun happily ordered a table full of dishes. When she paid the bill, Lu Sheng was shocked.
This meal actually cost her more than fifteen hundred taels!
“Miss Lu, pay the bill.”
Chu Yun ignored her pained expression and urged her, but his eyes were full of smugness from successfully conning her.
“Chu Yun, give them the money.”
Chu Sihan suppressed his laughter and let Chu Yun pay the bill.
Just as Chu Yun’s face collapsed, he heard Lu Sheng say, “No need, no need! I promised this treat. How can I let you spend money instead?”
Lu Sheng forced a smile and reluctantly took out the banknotes to pay the bill.
After leaving Peach Blossom Restaurant, she could not help but plain. “Were we eating gold? It cost more than fifteen hundred taels for just a few dishes and two flasks of wine. Why didn’t they rob people?”
It was too ugly to be popular!
