The others turned to look, and saw Xiao Jinfeng walk in with a smile.
Seeing the Yun family having breakfast, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Did I disturb you all!~"
Little Xi Tian: "......"
You did.
Old Man Yun waved his hand, "Young Master Xiao is here, join us for breakfast. Huaihua, go get a set of bowls and chopsticks!~"
Jin Huaihua didn't move, continuing to eat her meal in silence.
This was the first time she had disobeyed Old Man Yun, so her heart was pounding...
Xiao Jinfeng's expression was a little awkward, and he quickly waved his hand, "No need to trouble yourself, I've already eaten!~"
After speaking, his eyes glanced at everyone at the dining table, finally settling on Shangguan Fang'er's face.
As he looked, Shangguan Fang'er's delicate yet haggard little face was almost identical to the beauty in the portrait...
The only difference was that her face was tired, her eyes were dark circles, and she was very thin.
That's right.
Xiao Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed Er Longzi hadn't lied, the person in front of him was indeed the princess of the Chen Kingdom.
"Why are you, you looking at me?" Shangguan Fang'er touched her face, feeling very annoyed. "You big pervert, believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and soak them in wine!"
Hmph, with that lecherous look, she found him very annoying.
Xiao Jinfeng: "......"
The dignified princess, talking about gouging out eyeballs?
She must be crazy.
"Miss Huaihua, thank you for the roasted potatoes you sent this morning, they were delicious!~" Xiao Jinfeng smiled at Jin Huaihua.
Jin Huaihua's cheeks turned red, she tightly gripped her chopsticks, and lowered her head to let out a "Mm."
Madam Gu narrowed her eyes, scanning Jin Huaihua and Xiao Jinfeng, and suddenly understood something...
A few days ago, Zhao Guihua said that Young Master Xiao might have taken a liking to Huaihua, but now the atmosphere between them was a bit subtle, perhaps something had happened.
Little Xi Tian puffed out her cheeks, hands on her hips, and glared angrily at Xiao Jinfeng, "Young Master Xiao, if you're not eating, then please leave!~"
Big bad guy, ever since he moved in, he's been acting suspiciously all day, definitely secretly investigating Xiao Jinheng...
Xiao Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Miss Yun, you don't need to have such great hostility towards me. I came here to inquire about who lives in the west wing of the Yun family's residence. I saw that the residence was built luxuriously, with a study, bathroom, bedroom, and main hall, but only two young maids live there. Where did the owner of the residence go?"
Little Xi Tian: "......"
Here we go again.
He had already asked Father and Mother a few days ago, but they had brushed him off.
He didn't expect this person to be so persistent.
Madam Gu knew that Xiao Jinheng was living in Dashui Village to hide his identity and not be known to outsiders.
Now that Xiao Jinfeng had come to their door, he must have other intentions, and she couldn't openly reveal Xiao Jinheng's whereabouts...
"Young Master Xiao, I've already said before, the person living in the west wing is a businessman. He is often away from Dashui Village, so our families don't have much contact!~" Madam Gu said faintly.
"Is that so?" Xiao Jinfeng narrowed his eyes after hearing this, "If there's no contact, then why do you live together?"
Heh, who are they trying to fool?
When Old Man Yun heard this, he tapped his large bowl with his chopsticks and said irritably, "Young Master Xiao, are you asking so many questions because you have some ulterior motive? If you think our old Yun family is not good enough, or if we have failed to entertain you properly, then please leave quickly. We won't serve you anymore..."
After speaking, Old Man Yun nudged Madam Gu, "Old woman, return that hundred taels of silver to Young Master Xiao. We can't entertain someone so suspicious..."
Seeing Madam Gu untying the money bag and about to take out the silver notes, Xiao Jinfeng panicked instantly...
"Everyone, please calm down, I didn't mean that!~" Xiao Jinfeng shook his head, "I am also a businessman, and I know that some merchants travel far from home and are often away from their residences. I completely understand. From now on, I won't inquire about these matters!"
If he were to set off back to the palace now, his plan to wait by the stump for the rabbit and trap the tiger would fail...
And Old Man Yun's actions were also to conceal Xiao Jinheng's identity and prevent Xiao Jinfeng from taking advantage.
Although they could hide it for a while, they couldn't hide it forever, but as long as Xiao Jinheng could be safe for one more moment, they would be relieved.
Madam Gu thought for a moment, then returned the hundred taels of silver to Xiao Jinfeng, "Young Master Xiao, we farmers are satisfied with simple meals. This hundred taels of silver is too much, we cannot accept it!"
Xiao Jinfeng held the hundred taels of silver notes, not knowing what to say...
A moment later, he smiled at Madam Gu, "It's okay if you don't accept the money. How about this, from now on, I'll cover all the grains and vegetables for meals. Just tell me what you want to eat, okay?"
Madam Gu didn't answer, and Old Man Yun didn't respond either.
Xiao Jinfeng glanced at Shangguan Fang'er again, then flicked his sleeves and turned to leave...
"Alas, this person, at first glance, is not a good sort!~" Old Man Yun leaned back in his chair and puffed on his pipe.
Yun Daman said, "Father, why don't I chase him out now!"
"Sit down, don't add fuel to the fire!" Old Man Yun said helplessly.
They couldn't handle this matter. It could only be resolved after Xiao Jinheng returned.
But before that, they needed to write a letter to Xiao Jinheng to prepare him mentally...
"Daughter, where were we?" Old Man Yun looked at Little Xi Tian.
Little Xi Tian said, "Father, I'm saying we should open a shop in the county town. We can let Sister-in-law and Sister Shanshan go there to cook. I'll sell my milk, and they'll open their restaurant. This way, our family won't be so tight on money!~"
Zhao Guihua's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Sweetie, Sister-in-law knew you had the best ideas. Don't worry, as soon as the restaurant opens, Sister-in-law promises to work hard and earn a lot of money..."
Du Tieshan pursed her lips and said nothing.
She felt that starting a business together would inevitably lead to various arguments and conflicts, which she desperately wanted to avoid.
"Daughter, but, but we don't have enough money to open a restaurant right now!~" Old Man Yun looked distressed.
Renting a place, raising dairy cows, opening a restaurant, hiring staff, renovating the house, etc., how much silver would all of that add up to?
Having the idea to make money was good, but it also had to be based on actual circumstances...
Zhao Guihua glanced resentfully at Madam Gu. Father and Mother were really something. Since Young Master Xiao gave them a hundred taels of silver, and it had already entered their family's pockets, why did they have to return it?
Even if they were proud, they had to consider the feelings of the entire family.
Seeing her father sighing, Little Xi Tian clumsily climbed onto the stool, patted her little chest, and said, "Family members, don't worry, I've got everything covered..."
