The man saw Yun Chang and paused for a moment before respectfully calling out, "Miss Yun!"
Yun Chang looked at the man, confused, and asked, "Who are you?"
The man lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Your servant's name is Zhang De. I am a stable hand in Miss Yun's courtyard."
"Oh!" Yun Chang nodded and said, "Are you looking for Qin Su for something?"
"No, I'm just here to clean," Zhang De replied.
Yun Chang said, "Oh! Then please continue! I'll be going now."
With that, Yun Chang left, leaving Zhang De alone.
Zhang De watched Yun Chang's retreating back with a slight frown.
This Miss Yun, it seems, is not as simple as she appears. Her schemes are deep, unlike ordinary people. I wonder if Young Master has seen through her disguise?
Yun Chang arrived at Qin Su's courtyard and saw that a large vase in the courtyard had been smashed on the ground, with flower pot shards scattered everywhere.
Yun Chang's expression darkened, and she immediately entered Qin Su's room.
Qin Su was sitting in a chair, staring out the window blankly.
Hearing footsteps, Qin Su slowly turned around. When he saw Yun Chang, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. Immediately, Qin Su stood up and said, "Chang'er, you're here!"
"Mm!" Yun Chang gave a faint hum and walked to Qin Su's side, saying with concern, "Brother Su, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Qin Su shook his head, looked at Yun Chang, and asked, "Chang'er, why did you suddenly come today?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to see how Brother Su was doing and brought you some breakfast. Please eat something," Yun Chang said with a gentle smile, looking at Qin Su.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Su's eyes.
"Don't worry, I just came to see if Brother Su was better, nothing else. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" Yun Chang said with a smile, looking at Qin Su.
Qin Su looked at Yun Chang, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, and then said, "Alright then, Chang'er, you've worked hard!"
"It's no trouble," Yun Chang said with a faint smile.
As she spoke, Yun Chang took out a porcelain bottle from her embrace and handed it to Qin Su, saying, "Brother Su, this is a pill for treating internal injuries. You'll recover faster if you take it."
Yun Chang's actions caused another flash of surprise in Qin Su's eyes. He took the porcelain bottle and said, "Thank you, Chang'er!"
Yun Chang smiled faintly and shook her head, "It's nothing. Brother Su is so good to me, it's only right!"
After speaking, Yun Chang turned and walked out of Qin Su's room.
As Yun Chang reached the door, she saw Qin Su walking out. She immediately went to meet him and said softly, "Brother Su, I've already helped you take the pill. You should go back and rest quickly!"
Qin Su looked at Yun Chang and smiled, "Okay, you should also get some rest early!"
With that, Qin Su nodded at Yun Chang and then strode away.
Only after Qin Su left did Yun Chang heave a sigh of relief and turn back to her room.
Upon returning to her room, Yun Chang heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Yun Chang asked.
"It's this servant!" It was Zhang De's voice.
"Come in!"
With a creak, Zhang De pushed open the door.
Yun Chang saw Zhang De and asked, "Is there something?"
Zhang De walked in and said, "Replying to Miss Yun Chang, the Prince sent several jars of good wine and asked you to come and taste them."
Yun Chang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked, "What did you say? Did Brother Su send them personally?"
"Yes, the Prince sent them. The Prince said it was his gesture of goodwill, and he would be very unhappy if you didn't go!" Zhang De said.
Yun Chang's expression became somewhat peculiar. Why did she feel something was strange?
Qin Su wasn't just good to her; he was good to others too! Why was he so stingy with her?
However, Yun Chang did like Qin Su's attitude. He wasn't arrogant, overbearing, or cold. Sometimes, there was even a hint of doting. Yun Chang liked Qin Su, and she liked his disposition.
"Alright, let's go drink!" Yun Chang said with a smile.
Zhang De immediately followed Yun Chang out.
Qin Su was standing in the courtyard. Seeing Yun Chang arrive, a look of relief flashed across his face.
"What? Brother Su, do you think I'm particularly beautiful, so much so that you're stunned?" Yun Chang said, feigning shyness.
"Mm! Yes!" Qin Su nodded with a smile.
"Then don't look at other girls anymore, only me!" Yun Chang said, "Otherwise, I'll be angry!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Qin Su nodded repeatedly and said, "From now on, I'll only look at you, Chang'er, only you!"
Yun Chang smiled and nodded upon hearing Qin Su's words, then turned and walked away.
Qin Su watched Yun Chang's retreating figure, his smile growing brighter. Chang'er, I will always be with you!
The two went to the Drunken Immortal Tower. The owner of the Drunken Immortal Tower, seeing Yun Chang and Qin Su, immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "Miss Yun Chang, Young Master Qin, the private rooms on the second floor have been booked for a long time. Please follow this old servant!"
Qin Su and Yun Chang went up to the second floor together. After Qin Su and Zhang De were seated in the private room, the owner immediately ordered the kitchen to start serving dishes.
Yun Chang looked at Qin Su and smiled, "Brother Su, I've heard that the dishes at the Drunken Immortal Tower are extremely delicious. Is it true?"
"Of course, our Drunken Immortal Tower's cuisine is the best in the capital, and the most comprehensive!" the owner said, patting his chest confidently.
Yun Chang nodded upon hearing the owner's boast.
Not long after, the dishes were served one by one.
"Come, Miss Yun Chang, this is the signature dish of the Drunken Immortal Tower, called Crystal Shrimp Dumplings. This is our restaurant's prized possession. Please try it!" the owner introduced enthusiastically.
Qin Su looked at the shrimp dumplings on the table, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. He looked at Yun Chang and asked, "Did you make these shrimp dumplings?"
Seeing the admiration in Qin Su's eyes, Yun Chang curved her lips into a faint smile and said, "I created them myself!"
Qin Su's face showed shock after hearing Yun Chang's words, and he said, "Yun Chang, is this true?"
Yun Chang nodded and said, "It's true! Brother Su doesn't believe me?"
Qin Su smiled and shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I'm too shocked. I didn't expect you to be able to cook."
"That's because Brother Su has never eaten anything I personally made, so he doesn't believe it," Yun Chang explained with a smile.
"You're amazing, I'm almost jealous!" Qin Su said, looking at Yun Chang with a smile.
Upon hearing Qin Su's words, Yun Chang said with a smile, "Since Brother Su doesn't believe me, I can let you try."
"Mm!" Qin Su responded.
"Then, Brother Su, please!" Yun Chang said with a smile.
Qin Su picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a shrimp dumpling, and took a bite. It was indeed as Yun Chang had said, fragrant and tender, making one exclaim, "Mmm, delicious! I never expected your cooking skills to be so good, Yun Chang."
"Of course!" Yun Chang said, "I am Yun Chang! Yun Chang is not an ordinary woman."
"You're quite humble!" Qin Su said with a smile.
"That's right!"
The two chatted as they ate. Soon, the plate of shrimp dumplings was empty. Qin Su looked at the empty plate and chuckled helplessly, "My appetite is truly astonishing!"
Yun Chang smiled upon hearing Qin Su's words and said, "There's nothing that can be done, who told Brother Su to have such a terrifying appetite."
Qin Su smiled and said nothing.
After dinner, the two left the Drunken Immortal Tower together.
Halfway along the road, Yun Chang suddenly remembered that Qin Su did not seem to be wearing his official attire today.
Yun Chang stopped and looked at Qin Su, frowning.
Qin Su looked at Yun Chang and asked, confused, "What's wrong? Chang'er?"
Yun Chang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Su, I remember you weren't wearing your official attire. Why are you wearing it now? Are you planning to enter the palace for the concubine selection banquet?"
"What do you think?" Qin Su countered with a raised eyebrow.
"Then what are you going there for?" Yun Chang asked curiously.
"Guess!" Qin Su retorted.
"I don't know," Yun Chang said. "Brother Su, if you don't tell me, how can I possibly guess?"
"Guess, Chang'er!" Qin Su said.
Yun Chang looked at Qin Su, blinked her eyes, and asked, "If you want me to guess, then I can't guess."
"I want you to accompany me to the concubine selection banquet!" Qin Su said.
Yun Chang was slightly stunned upon hearing Qin Su's words.
"You're not willing?" Qin Su asked, looking at Yun Chang.
"No, I am willing!" Yun Chang quickly shook her head.
How could she refuse Qin Su?
