An Ying gently patted Lin Xiao's back and said softly, "Go to sleep."
After being tormented by An Ying for so long, Lin Xiao was already tired. Now that An Ying's gentle voice whispered into her ear, Lin Xiao felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
After Lin Xiao fell asleep, An Ying sat by the bed and looked at Lin Xiao's sleeping face for a long time. Then, he left without looking back.
When Lin Xiao woke up and didn't see An Ying, even her spirit became particularly listless.
However, when she went to rest at noon, she saw An Ying standing in the hall talking to Lin Guangye. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a sweet smile.
For the next few days, An Ying came to Chun Feng Restaurant every day to report, and every time, he spent a lot of money.
Lin Guangye was delighted to see how An Ying spent money like it was dirt.
Lin Guangye quickly surrendered to the power of money and became close friends with An Ying.
A few days later, An Ying was even directly invited by Lin Guangye to have a meal with him and Lin Xiao.
An Ying's thoughts were very simple. He wanted to get familiar with Lin Xiao through Lin Guangye and then achieve his goal of marrying Lin Xiao.
Lin Guangye's thoughts were also very simple. He felt that An Ying often looked at Lin Xiao.
Since An Ying was so rich and had taken a fancy to Lin Xiao, he would definitely give a lot of betrothal gifts in the future.
Lin Guangye loved money. Now, he had even more reason to bring Lin Xiao and An Ying together.
In this way, Lin Xiao and An Ying became familiar with each other in Lin Guangye's name.
An Ying came in and out of Chun Feng Restaurant with a particularly high profile. Those who ate at Chun Feng Restaurant often knew that Chun Feng Restaurant recently had a rich customer who would go to Chun Feng Restaurant every day to spend a lot of money.
Although Jiujiu specialized in hunger marketing and didn't pay much attention to this, it was inevitable that some customers would stay and listen to the gossip of Chun Feng Restaurant. When they heard that a new customer had come to Chun Feng Restaurant recently, and the kind who spent a lot of money, they became curious.
On this day, after Jiujiu finished her work early, she sat on the second floor and ate melon seeds while watching Chun Feng Restaurant.
Once she looked, Jiujiu realized that she seemed to know the person who went to Chun Feng Restaurant.
It was not an exaggeration to say that enemies on a narrow road.
Wasn't this the man who killed Li Qian in her previous life?
Even though he wasn't dressed in black, Jiujiu would recognize his face even if it had turned into ashes. It was the man who killed Li Qian because she looked at him and Lin Xiao.
Li Qian wasn't the only one who would remember this grudge. Jiujiu also remembered it.
However, Jiujiu was curious as to why this man kept running to Chun Feng Restaurant.
Could it be that there was some kind of treasure in Spring Breeze House that made him forget to leave?
In her previous life, Li Qian didn't know why the man killed her because she looked at him too much. However, Jiujiu linked it to the emperor who was thrown into her courtyard covered in blood. Then, she linked it to this man's fiendish appearance. Jiujiu suspected that this man was most likely the assassin who tried to assassinate the emperor.
Jiujiu had only been here for a short period of time, and most of her time was spent on cooking. Her martial arts were mostly for self-defense. It was a fool's dream to think that she could deal with someone powerful enough to run into the palace and assassinate the Emperor.
Jiujiu thought for a moment, then told Gao Hei that there was something wrong with the man in front of her. She told him to tell the little prince about it.
Gao Hei came over after the emperor left, so he was most likely one of the emperor and the little prince's people. She couldn't go wrong telling him about this.
As expected, after Jiujiu told Gao Hei, the little prince ran over with an anxious expression the next morning.
As soon as he entered the room, the little prince grabbed Jiujiu's arm and pulled Jiujiu towards the inner courtyard.
The little prince pulled Jiujiu into the room and closed the door. After confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is what you told Gao Hei true?"
Last night, Gao Hei suddenly came to the prince's residence and told him that Jiujiu said that Director Li, a frequent customer of Chun Feng Restaurant, looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him before when the emperor was thrown into the courtyard.
When the emperor was captured by the assassin, the assassin had wanted to kill him. Fortunately, the emperor pretended to be a substitute and was only seriously injured.
Moreover, the assassin had brought the emperor all the way from the palace to here, so he had been seriously injured. It was normal for Jiujiu to have seen him move slowly.
Although the little prince felt that it wasn't normal for Jiujiu to say that the man looked like an assassin, he still chose to believe Jiujiu.
Because there was finally news about the assassin that they had been investigating for a long time, the little prince couldn't help but be a little excited. He gripped Jiujiu's arm tightly, causing Jiujiu to gasp in pain.
When the little prince heard Jiujiu gasp, he quickly released her and apologized softly, "Sorry, I was a little too excited."
Jiujiu glared at the little prince exasperatedly. She rubbed her arm as she said, "Of course it's true. Also, why would I lie to you for no reason?"
Jiujiu indeed had no reason to lie to the little prince.
The little prince grunted in agreement. After glancing at Jiujiu, he asked softly, "Are you sure it's that person?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Although it was dark outside, I remember his back clearly. I wasn't sure at first, but when I saw his back yesterday, I suddenly thought of him, so I had Gao Hei come to tell you."
Jiujiu spoke with such certainty, as though she was telling the truth.
When the little prince, who had been feeling uneasy at first, saw this, he instantly believed her.
First of all, he was very familiar with Jiujiu and knew very well that Jiujiu had no reason to lie to him. Second of all, Jiujiu's reason sounded too fake. Oftentimes, a reason that you thought was fake was actually the truth.
The little prince glanced at Jiujiu, told Jiujiu not to tell anyone else about this, and left in a hurry.
Since the little prince came in a hurry, he naturally left in a hurry as well.
For the next half a month, Jiujiu didn't see the little prince again. Even Gao Hei went on strike every few days. She didn't know where he went.
Fortunately, Jiujiu had received a hundred taels of gold and a hundred mu of fertile land from the emperor, so she didn't have much interest in continuing the restaurant. After the banquet at the end of the month, she directly said that she was going to go into seclusion to research new dishes and didn't accept any more orders.
Jiujiu's actions directly disappointed the diners who wanted to eat Jiujiu's dishes.
However, since Jiujiu didn't accept any more orders, the diners who couldn't eat Jiujiu's dishes naturally turned their attention to Chun Feng Lou.
During this time, Chun Feng Lou was overcrowded.
The biggest victim of Chun Feng Lou's overcrowding was An Ying.
When Chun Feng Lou's business wasn't very good, he could still talk to Lin Xiao and touch her hand.
But now, Chun Feng Lou was overcrowded. He didn't even have the time to greet her, let alone touch her hand.
