Chapter 15

"Xiao Ru, do you have any silver?"

Chen Ning touched her pocket and found that it was empty. She had left the king's palace in a hurry and had forgotten to bring any silver.

Xiao Ru took out her pouch and shook her head in frustration.

"I don't have any silver, only six copper coins. I just gave it all to the young miss."

Six copper coins?

It was only enough to buy a few steamed buns. Perhaps she wouldn't even be able to eat meat buns.

Chen Ning looked at the copper coins in her hand and swallowed her saliva. She prepared to leave with Xiao Ru.

"Young miss, quickly look!" Xiao Ru suddenly pointed at the second floor of the restaurant, "It's that lots of money."

"What lots of money?"

Chen Ning was puzzled. She looked in the direction Xiao Ru was pointing and saw that the window on the second floor was open. There was a black clothed man sitting by the window and behind him was a blue clothed youth.

Although they had only met in a hurry, Chen Ning had a good memory. She immediately recognized that the black clothed man was the person who had thrown out fifty silver coins without even blinking.

She remembered that the black clothed man's back was very pleasing to the eye, but his face was very plain and expressionless, just like a wooden statue.

His eyes, however, were extremely sharp, and the cold light in his eyes was threatening.

"Xiao Ru, why do you call him lots of money?" Chen Ning found it funny just thinking about it.

"Because young miss said he's stupid and has a lot of money." Xiao Ru straightforwardly said.

"Ha, ha, that's a good nickname. Xiao Ru, you're really smart." Chen Ning praised as she patted Xiao Ru's shoulder.

The master and servant stood at the door of the restaurant and laughed. They did not know that their conversation had already been heard by the black clothed man in the private room on the second floor.

Even the green-robed youth could hear it clearly.

What kind of person was this? He had such guts, daring to criticize his master behind his back! He even gave his master a nickname!

Lots of money ….. He was really as vulgar as he could be.

The blue clothed youth's mouth twitched. He looked down and saw Chen Ning.

He gave an "ah" sound and then said in a low voice, "Master, it's that girl!"

The black clothed man did not even look out the window. He just continued to drink and eat. Suddenly he looked up with a pair of cold eyes and stared at the blue clothed youth.

"Meddlesome." The man coldly said.

The blue clothed youth immediately went silent. He lowered his eyes and poured the black clothed man's cup.

Xiao Ru was still chattering downstairs.

"Young miss, that lots of money seems to be very rich. How about we let him treat us to a good meal?" Xiao Ru smelled the fragrance of the food in the air and her legs couldn't move.

"We don't know him, so why would he treat us to a good meal?" Chen Ning asked with a smile.

"It's because you helped him save fifty taels of silver. If you hadn't exposed that swindler, he would have lost a lot of money."

Ning smiled and shook her head, "I'm not going.

"Young miss." Xiao Ru pitifully looked at Chen Ning and rubbed her stomach, "This servant is too hungry to walk."

"There are buns over there, I'll go buy a meat bun for you to eat, alright?" Chen Ning weighed the six copper coins in her hand.

"Not good, what's so good about Ru? Young miss, smell this, this is lotus root boiled beef. Ah, there's also onion spareribs. Aiya, there's also my favourite chestnut roasted chicken!"

Xiao Ru desperately sniffed the fragrance coming from the restaurant. She swallowed her saliva as she reported the names of the dishes as if they were her family treasures.
