Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 251 Reply

Tang Jingchen was waiting in the study room at the backyard of the spice shop. Xiao Guoer waved her healed hand in front of him and said in a tone of finally getting through it, "I can finally eat spicy food and seafood! I was so suffocated these past few days because of my dietary restrictions that everything I ate tasted bland. Now I'm all better and I can finally eat whatever I want!"

Tang Jingchen couldn't help laughing when he saw her drooling with greed. He knew that according to her personality, she must have been greedy after abstaining from food for several days, but at this time... Never mind, no matter what time it was, she could just have dinner early.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Jinxiang Tower."

Xiao Guoer was stunned for a moment, then immediately cheered happily, "I want to eat spicy crab soup, pork elbow with spicy sauce, shrimp with five-flavor wine sauce, and spicy chicken..."

After a series of dishes were announced, the owner of Jinxianglou, who was personally entertaining them, was stunned. Could two people eat so many dishes? I haven't seen Xiao Guoer for a few days. Has her appetite increased again?

But the young master didn't seem to care and even specifically told him, "Serve the food faster, we don't have much time."

The shopkeeper was worried that Xiao Guoer wouldn't eat well, so he hurriedly agreed and was about to go out to urge the cook to hurry up. Just as he reached the door, he heard Xiao Guoer's voice again, "It's okay if you can't finish it. I can pack it up and eat it slowly when I take it home."

The shopkeeper tripped and nearly fell, holding onto the door frame he thought to himself that it would be better to ask the waiter to prepare the lunch boxes in advance.

Although Xiao Guo'er was not very hungry, his appetite had been dull for so many days. When he saw the table full of delicious food, he seemed to be activated instantly and ate happily.

However, even though her fighting ability was not weak, a person's stomach space was limited after all. Tang Jingchen only accompanied her to eat a little and then put down his chopsticks. In the end, as the shopkeeper had expected, most of the dishes on the table were left, and they were all put into the prepared food boxes.

Having satisfied her craving, Xiao Guo'er skipped back to the palace. As soon as she entered the room and put the food box away, planning to have it as a midnight snack later, she was informed by Shi Rui, the maid who had taken care of her these days, that the Eighth Prince wanted to summon her.

Perhaps because of the injury on her hand, he had not summoned her to enslave her for several days.

Xiao Guo'er packed up simply and went to the Eighth Prince's study.

Unlike the situation of being enslaved that she had expected, the Eighth Prince summoned her to bring her good news - General Zheng rushed back from the northwest today and brought back a reply letter from Yingniang. She was overjoyed and couldn't wait to open it.

Zhao Yunrong watched her bright and moving big eyes moving across the letter paper word by word and line by line, with a mixed expression on her face. At the end, she even sighed sadly.

"Why? Your sister said in the letter that she is in trouble?"

"No, even if my sister had troubles, she wouldn't write about it in the letter to make me worry. But I'm thousands of miles away from home, without even a familiar person around me. How could she be as carefree as she wrote in the letter? She would definitely only report good news and not bad news."

Zhao Yunrong raised her eyebrows. These two sisters who were not related by blood actually cared about each other wholeheartedly.

"Don't worry. General Zheng said that he saw with his own eyes that your sister is living a very good life. Her clothes and jewelry are all very noble. Chen Fengyao treats her very well, and they have a good relationship."

Xiao Guo'er was relieved at this point. It would be great if Yingniang, who was stubborn and stubborn, could come to terms with it.

In her opinion, Chen Fengyao is more reliable than Zhou Fangye who cannot make decisions. Maybe Yingniang's fortunes will turn around if she follows him.

Just as Xiao Guo'er was about to leave, she saw a eunuch come in and report, "Your Highness, the Lord has already selected the gifts to congratulate the Zhou and Fu families on their marriage tomorrow. Please review them, Your Highness."

Xiao Guo'er was stunned and immediately felt unhappy. She didn't know how helpless and alone Yingniang was in the northwest, while Zhou Fangye had married a beautiful wife, had a wedding night, and lived a carefree life.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me run an errand tomorrow? I will definitely deliver the gift to the Zhou residence safely."

She wanted to take a good look at whether Zhou Fangye was happily welcoming his new life.

Zhao Yunrong raised his eyes to look at her eyes that were filled with resentment, thought for a while and said, "Well, you will go to Zhou Mansion with me tomorrow."

Xiao Guo'er was surprised, "The prince is going there in person?"

"Well, the Zhou and Fu families are both important ministers of the Li Dynasty. I personally go to congratulate them, which can be regarded as a representation of the royal family's attention and favor."

Originally he hadn't planned to go, but since she wanted to go, he might as well go with her.

Xiao Guo'er did not suspect anything and thought that there was no harm in following him. She could also take advantage of his power to intimidate others. She would definitely avenge Yingniang tomorrow when she found a chance.
