Chapter 28: Not even a drop of soup was left

  Really?

  Whats good?

  Dont say goodbye and leave, is it all over? ??

  He Lean thought for a whole night and day, but still couldnt figure out what the two characters meant. After dinner with Old Lady He, during some idle chatter, she instructed a maid to bring over a beautifully scented notepad with osmanthus fragrance, and said with a smile:

  "Yi Qin Wangfus Yi Wang is marrying a secondary wife, you go on behalf of your grandmother this time. Although shes just a secondary wife, it still counts as having a name, and since were in Fengzhou City, we should give some face after all. Its also suitable for someone of your age to visit various families more often. Your grandmother is old and wont join these lively events."

  "But," He Lean said, "its still somewhat improper for a concubine-born daughter like me to send gifts to the Yi Qin Wang Fu."

  "Whats wrong, child?" The old lady patted her hand and said, "You were raised by me, even if youre born out of wedlock, your weight is different from others. Youre a good kid, Grandma believes that people with discerning eyes can see that youre a precious jade, not a stone. Dont belittle yourself, besides, Grandma will back you up."

  He Leans heart warmed up with gratitude, "Thank you, Grandmother, for loving me so much." But she still didnt want to attend the banquet, didnt want...to meet that bright red. After all...it was well-known that Xiao Yi Wang and Yue Jun Wang were relatives and good friends, and at that time, Yue Jun Wang would also be attending the banquet in Fengzhou City, and she really didnt want to have any connection with him or any other royal family members.

  He Lian changed into mens clothing and went to the newly opened Jili Wine House next to the Fugui Wine House on the street, just to taste it. He saw that although it was a new opening, there were indeed many customers coming and going, and there was a long queue waiting outside the door. People said:

  "This is the best restaurant Ive ever had in Fengzhou City, the most! The most! The most delicious wine house, their fragrant and smooth wontons are even smoother than the skin of the girls at Yingchun Building."

  Yingchun Building was the largest and most luxurious brothel in Fengzhou City. The girls inside, He Lean had seen when he passed by dressed as a man, were truly delicate like flowers. Its no wonder that this newly opened Jili Wine House is quite something, so she joined the long queue with an attitude of learning and research. By the time it was her turn, two incense sticks worth of time had already passed.

  Sitting in a crowded corner where she could only eat at a makeshift table, He Lian watched as the waiter brought over a bowl of their signature fragrant and smooth wontons. She first took a spoonful of the clear broth to drink, but after savoring it carefully, the familiar yet strange flavor that unfolded on her tongue made her furrow her brow in suspicion. She then took another spoonful of the clear broth to drink, her expression gradually becoming solemn.

  He Lean picked up a small wonton to eat, and her suspicion in her heart became even more certain. She calmly paid the bill and left, because there were many guests and the waiter was busy, no one noticed her. The guest next to her saw that she had left so much food uneaten, without thinking, he pulled her bowl of wontons over to his side and wolfed it down, finally not leaving a single drop of soup...

  He Lean walked towards the Rich and Noble Wine House, lost in thought. Only after entering did he come back to his senses, just in time to see the large doors of the wine house being quickly shut by two unfamiliar men dressed as waiters. A familiar voice floated down from the second floor, "Youre here."

  She raised her head and before she saw the owner of this voice, she was scared by the fortune tellers who filled the entire hall, "......"
