Chapter 18 One Oddity
Xin Moyan deliberately chose to sit in the very center of the restaurant's main hall, surrounded by people eating there; it was truly bustling with noise!
Seeing his younger sister looking around curiously, Xin Moling said with a smile, "If Yan'er likes excitement, in a few days, brother will take Yan'er out to see the lanterns."
“Great! Brother, this restaurant is so big and the business is so good, the owner must be making a lot of money every day.”
"Hehe~ Yunxianglou has delicious food at reasonable prices. The managers and waiters provide attentive service. It is loved by everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people. The higher up the building, the more expensive the rooms are, and the more top-notch the service is. Its owner is mysterious and no one knows his true face. Yunxianglou has branches in all four countries, and this is the first one. Yunxianglou is quite famous in the four countries."
Knowing that his sister had lost her memory, he patiently explained many things to Xin Moyan.
"So that's how it is, it's actually a chain store!"
"What shop? What is Yan'er talking about?"
Seeing her muttering to herself, Xin Moling raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Xin Moyan grinned, revealing a row of flawless white teeth, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "No...nothing, brother, hurry up and have the food served!"
"Hehe~ Brother has given the order, Yan'er must be hungry, right?"
"It's alright! Yan'er ate a piece of jujube cake in the car just now, brother, that cake was delicious!"
"Then brother, please have someone prepare more at the manor..."
The brother and sister were chatting idly while waiting for their food to be served when a mysterious conversation suddenly came from the table behind them. Xin Moyan immediately strained her ears.
"Hey~ Is what you said true?"
The person sitting behind Xin Moyan proudly replied, "Of course! My cousin from my maternal uncle's family is a sworn brother with that Xuanwu Palace guard. If I hadn't accompanied my cousin to the palace gate this morning to deliver something, I wouldn't have known about this earth-shattering event!"
The person on the other side spoke with great disdain, shouting, "If you ask me, what you're saying is definitely wrong. Who is Prince Lie? How could he possibly make Princess Danhua propose to annul the engagement? It's more likely that Prince Lie himself would annul the engagement. It's strange, Princess Danhua is so devoted to Prince Lie, how could she annul the engagement so easily?"
Xin Moyan was listening with great interest, completely unaware of her brother's face, which was as black as ink. He was tightly gripping the Biyue Sword at his waist, afraid of frightening his sister, so he had to suppress his anger.
"Yan'er, don't listen. Your brother will teach those unruly people a lesson for you."
Xin Moyan quickly put her index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture, indicating to her brother to continue listening. She loved listening to gossip!
"Ha! I wonder what kind of face that Princess Danhua has, daring to covet Prince Lie. If the engagement is really broken off now, I wonder if, given the princess's nature, she will commit suicide out of shame and indignation?"
"What are you saying? No matter what, she is a princess. You're making it sound like she's unworthy of Prince Lie."
"She is certainly worthy of the title of princess, but you all know that Princess Danhua is not only ugly, but also vulgar and rude. In recent years, everyone in the capital knows that Prince Lie treats Xin Moyan like a flood or a ferocious beast. And that princess is shameless. Wherever Prince Lie goes, her figure is sure to be there."
"boom!"
Xin Moling slammed her hand on the table in anger and was about to get up and walk towards it when everyone around them turned to look at her. One of them seemed to recognize Xin Moling's identity, and his face turned pale with fright. He trembled and dared not say another word.
"elder brother!"
She quickly reached out and grabbed Xin Moling's arm, then gently comforted him, "Brother, don't be angry. We're here to eat, not to cause trouble. Ordinary people don't know the inner workings of the royal family. These few words are just to pass the time."
"Hmph! Using Yan'er to kill time? I will never allow that. After Yan'er has eaten, I will find out who those people are and teach these gossipy scoundrels a lesson."
"Brother~"
Xin Moyan tugged at his sleeve, blinked her eyes, and put on a slightly cute and adorable expression.
“Brother, if you were to overturn the table and stand up because of a few words from commoners, it would be unbecoming of the Grand General Protector of Yuanqi Kingdom. Brother, please forgive them!”
She didn't want to cause trouble the moment she stepped out. Besides, if even ordinary people could speak of her like that, who knew how bad her reputation would be behind her back!
Xin Moling's expression gradually softened. Since his sister had said so, he didn't want to resort to violence in front of Yan'er, lest he frighten her. So he could only nod slightly in agreement, but in private, he would not let those people off the hook.
"Go and see what's wrong with Xin Moling that makes her so angry."
"Yes, master."
The two looked down at the scene and couldn't help but feel strange. Why did Xin Moling's face suddenly turn so ugly, and even have a hint of murderous intent?
"Young master, why do you keep staring at this beauty?"
Hua Buyu looked at the man opposite her with a half-smile; he never looked at women.
Do you know who they are?
"I didn't know. I never imagined that Yuanqi Kingdom would have such beautiful people, and two of them at that."
As Hua Buyu spoke, his thoughts gradually became chaotic, and he even licked his lips in a rather lewd manner.
Feeling irritated, the person asked coldly, "Do you want to go back to Qiyun?"
Hua Buyu's expression changed drastically, and she waved her hands repeatedly to explain, "No! No, no, no, I was just talking nonsense, please continue."
"The two siblings are the Empress Dowager's nephews."
"The Empress Dowager's nephew? Isn't that the legendary handsome, dashing, and invincible General Xin Moling, and that ugly princess Xin Moyan? They don't look ugly at all!"
The person's lips twitched, but they didn't say anything.
"Young master, those brother and sister are just having a meal, why are you staring at them so much? Besides, that princess seems quite normal, not at all like a lovesick fool!"
"She is indeed different from the rumors."
Seeing that the young master's deep eyes were fixed on the princess, as if he were pondering something, Hua Buyu immediately had an idea. She quickly put on a flirtatious smile and said, "Young master, may I go downstairs?"
"What to do?"
"Naturally, I want to understand the temperament of the brother and sister. As for the princess... I'm delighted with her."
After saying that, she covered her mouth and smiled shyly, her eyes full of seduction.
"..."
"Hua Buyu, Xin Moling is known for protecting her sister. Do you dare to try and seduce her?"
Hearing this, Hua Buyu's eyes seemed to shine even brighter, and she said excitedly, "These brother and sister are both of the best looks. If they can't seduce the princess, they might as well seduce a general."
"..."
He felt that letting Hua Buyu return to Yuanqi was a mistake. This woman, no matter where she was, was, as she herself said, a complete oddball.
