Chapter 1637: Chapter 1629
Xin Lin had just entered when she saw Wan Niang greeting the guests.
After leaving Fengdong, Wan Niang, although no longer dressed in silk garments, replaced them with a simple bamboo hairpin and cloth skirt.
However, Wan Niang seemed to radiate a vitality she never had before in Fengdong.
Her fair face was rosy, and her brows and eyes sparkled.
"Business is doing well."
Xin Lin walked up with a smile.
Wan Niang was momentarily stunned upon seeing Xin Lin, but soon her face lit up with joy.
She quickly instructed someone to attend to the guests and pulled Xin Lin into the dining area.
"Xin Lin, you’ve finally come back. Ziyue and I were worried sick."
By now, Wan Niang was familiar with Xin Lin, knowing that although Xin Lin often appeared petite, she was about the same age as Ziyue.
Xin Lin had helped the mother and daughter greatly; she was their savior.
Wan Niang knew Xin Lin had lost her mother and felt much compassion for the child.
Upon Xin Lin’s inquiry, she learned that Mu Chen, after returning to Purple Cloud City, had told Ziyue that Xin Lin was causing big trouble in Fuzhou.
This time, significant events occurred in Fuzhou, with the new emperor ascending the throne, causing quite a stir in the Jun Kingdom, between Shengri and Tuyuan.
In contrast, the Vassal Countries’ reaction was much smaller.
In fact, most Vassal Countries merely received the message that the Fuzhou Emperor had passed, and the new emperor ascended the throne. As for anything else, the Vassal Countries knew nothing.
The news Mu Chen brought back was also only partially understood.
He mostly guessed that Xin Lin was related to the third Miss of the Tu Su family, but he didn’t dare to presume the exact nature of their relationship.
Hence, he specifically told Murong Ziyue, intending to probe Murong Ziyue’s knowledge.
Murong Ziyue’s face showed calmness after listening, indicating she wasn’t worried about Xin Lin; she believed Xin Lin merely went for training.
But in reality, Murong Ziyue was very worried; she contemplated that if Xin Lin didn’t return within a few days, she would go to Fuzhou to find Xin Lin.
Xin Lin just pouted upon hearing this.
This Mu Chen really liked to stir things up.
If she had known, she should have properly taught him a lesson that day at Haotian Platform.
"I’m fine, really. I’m planning to visit Ziyue soon to surprise her and Little Xin Zhuo."
Xin Lin missed them very much.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they heard a commotion outside among the guests.
"Let’s go and check."
Xin Lin and Wan Niang stepped out.
It turned out some tables of guests were causing trouble.
"What kind of lousy Spiritual Food is this? Two-star Spirit Food, my foot! It tastes so bad, must be pigswill!"
"Exactly! I ate here last night and ended up sick all night; the Spiritual Food here isn’t clean."
Three to five burly men each stood by a table, shouting.
Seeing this, the other customers dared not linger; they hurried to settle the bills and left.
In just a moment, only the troublemaking guests remained in the once lively Chu’s Restaurant.
"These people, they’re back again."
Wan Niang’s face showed distress; clearly, these individuals weren’t causing trouble for the first time.
Chu’s Restaurant wasn’t large, typically a small business. Since De Yue Building was reorganized, no one had caused trouble again, and business had been good.
The staff rolled up their sleeves, faces flushed red, ready to act.
"Where’s Master Ma?"
Xin Lin looked around the crowd but didn’t see Ma Jingtian.
With Ma Jingtian’s fiery personality, he would have already dealt with these local ruffians.
"He’s gone to the Spiritual Cuisine Master Association and hasn’t returned yet."
Just then, Murong Ziyue walked in.
