Chapter 932: Threat
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I want to eat the cheese made by Ah Yu.”
“Master, please wait a moment. I’ll call the kitchen servants to make it. Coincidentally, they said that they bought milk today.” Lu Chuan quickly instructed.
Soon, Chu Heng ate the cheese. After two bites, he noticed that the taste was different. It was different from what Ye Muyu made. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he knew that there was nothing he could do.
He put some red beans in and felt the sweetness in his mouth. On then was he satisfied.
Outside, Lu Chuan went to the storeroom again. The storeroom here was not filled with money but with ingredients from Chu Heng’s hometown.
From some special fruit wine to rice grains, they were all from his hometown.
Lu Chuan quickly went to bring some ingredients out and asked the kitchen servants to make fish with pickled cabbages.
The fish was not from his hometown, but the pickled cabbages were.
There was no such dish in Jing City.
Chu Heng was halfway through his book when he called Lu Chuan in. “If the things from my hometown arrive, let me know immediately. Oh right, this is a reply to Ah Yu’s letter. Send it back as soon as possible.”
In the letter, he wrote that he wanted Ye Muyu to wait for his letter first. When the Emperor issued an edict, he might have to stay for a period of time.
Once he settled down, his family could be sent to his side.
In Luoping County…
Early in the morning, Ye Muyu got up and followed the princess into the county town.
This time, she did not walk into the county town. Instead, she rode a horse.
When they saw the princess arrogantly riding a horse into the county town, the surrounding commoners hurriedly moved away. It was obvious that they were used to it.
This was the first time Ye Muyu felt so helpless.
The princess finally stopped in front of the restaurant.
Liu Xiang, the eldest maid serving the princess, dismounted from her horse and shouted at the shopkeeper who came out to welcome her. “Shopkeeper, serve the best wine and dishes to the guest room on the third floor.”
“Alright, Princess, please.” The shopkeeper of the restaurant did not dare to go against the princess and quickly called people over to serve her.
Ye Muyu got off the horse and followed them in.
They went straight to the third floor. No one dared to stop them along the way.
After entering the private room, Ye Muyu was not surprised to see the bustling private room. She casually found a stool and sat down.
She saw the princess sitting at the dining table as if she was waiting for someone.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Liu Xiang came in from outside the door. She leaned close to Li Ruyi’s ear and said something. Then, she saw a smile on her face. She ordered, “Go and invite the Young General over.”
“Yes.” Liu Xiang left without hesitation.
After about fifteen minutes…
Just as the dishes were all served, Shen Qin arrived with a few deputy generals.
Seeing Li Ruyi in the room, Shen Qin walked in expressionlessly. He did not sit down and only asked, “Princess, why did you call me?”
“Of course, it’s to treat you to a meal.”
“Sit.”
“I don’t have time to eat. I have to patrol outside the county.” Shen Qin frowned.
“Do you need to do such a thing yourself with your identity as the Young General? Shen Qin, are you afraid of me?”
“Look, I didn’t make things difficult for her. I only asked her to accompany me. This is for your sake. If you turn around and leave now, I won’t be polite.”
Ye Muyu was discouraged.
Perhaps it was because she was Ye Hao’s sister and Ye Hao was Shen Qin’s trusted aide.
How could Shen Qin really let Li Ruyi do anything she wanted? His reputation was at stake. Because of this, Ye Muyu became the reason why Li Ruyi often threatened Shen Qin.
Shen Qin could not refuse and continued talking to the princess.
As for Ye Muyu, every time she was mentioned, it felt like she was offending them. It was really uncomfortable.
