Su Jin had made a visit to the Fengyuan County Justice of the Peace’s residence immediately. It was a path which she had change into accustomed to. Beforehand, she solely visited every time she had enterprise with Jiang Ru Yan. However as her meals enterprise prospered and grew quickly, she naturally attracted the Justice of the Peace’s consideration, and was granted an viewers with him.

Since then, her visits to the Justice of the Peace’s residence had gone a lot smoother. Each time she got here to their doorways, the servant would mechanically information her with out having to say something.

“You will have lastly discovered a while in your busy schedule to go to. As anticipated of a profitable businesswoman, it was so laborious to satisfy you earlier than my wedding ceremony.” Jiang Ru Yan complained playfully.

Though not but on the degree that may very well be known as shut pals, their relationship may very well be thought-about to be greater than regular pals with all of the interactions and exchanges they’d had over the previous few years. Now that Jiang Ru Yan was about to get married, their probabilities of assembly up could be much less sooner or later. Realizing this, she couldn’t assist however really feel a bit of unhappy.

Shrugging her shoulders helplessly, Su Jin casually slumped into the cushioned chair and replied: “Properly, I’m right here now. Anyway, there’s nonetheless three months till your wedding ceremony, why are you in such a rush to satisfy?”

Su Jin stuffed a chunk of cake into her mouth as she continued, “So… what’s the actual purpose you needed to contact me urgently this time?”

Jiang Ru Yan’s playful expression turned critical as she spoke, “Are you conscious that you’ve been focused by somebody?”

Su Jin remained calm as her eyebrows raised. “Oh? Do elaborate. This isn’t the primary time that somebody had supposed to hurt me. I’m used to conditions like that. For the girl to personally warn me this time, does my opponent have a robust backing this time?”

“My father hinted it to me just a few days in the past in a peculiar trend. After pondering, I spotted that he may need wished me to convey a precautionary warning to you to be in your guard.”

Realizing that Su Jin appeared barely involved in regards to the matter, Jiang Ru Yan couldn’t assist however really feel a bit of fearful.

With a solemn expression, Su Jin clasped Jiang Ru Yan’s palms. “Please convey my because of Justice of the Peace Jiang for the warning. I’ve taken acceptable countermeasures, so there is no such thing as a want to fret. I can deal with it.”

This was not the primary time she needed to face an opponent trying to coerce her into surrendering her commerce secrets and techniques. No huge deal.

She wouldn’t declare herself to be a magnanimous and kind-hearted individual both. If her opponent approached with aggression, she would reciprocate the identical with delight. If she wished to, eliminating her enemies could be as straightforward as crushing ants. With a single shot of an arrow, her targets would by no means know the way they died.

The world earlier than her second transmigration was way more brutal than her current one. Conflicts between tribes occurred nearly each different day, and that always resulted within the full destruction of 1 aspect. Life and demise was such a trivial incidence that she had grown numb to it.

Furthermore, the abilities she had painstakingly skilled prior to now weren’t only for ornament, particularly since her present physique appeared to have fully built-in with the physique she had prior to now.

Each inch of her physique and bones had been tempered over many years of harsh coaching. Even her archery talent, which was devoted to seek out raptors and different large beasts, was far past the requirements of odd individuals on this world.

Moreover…

Su Jin subconsciously brushed the nook of her eye. Su Jin had some tough guess in regards to the id of the individual Jiang Ru Yan talked about.

A chilly murderous aura crammed the air. No matter whether or not her opponent was royalty or from a noble lineage, so long as they dared to reveal their fangs at her, she would present no mercy.

Jiang Ru Yan felt reassured by Su Jin’s phrases. She enormously admired and revered Su Jin, a lady with no background and connections however was nonetheless in a position to forge her personal path to her present degree of success.

Listening to that Su Jin appeared to have correct countermeasures in place, Jiang Ru Yan modified the topic and began discussing about her wedding ceremony costume as a substitute…

……

Within the west courtyard of the Jiang household’s residence, Jiang Wan prevented the maid’s watchful gaze and quietly hid in a room, chewing and slurping endlessly. Simply as she stuffed the final piece of spicy gluten strip into her mouth, the door immediately opened.

The maid, Qinghe, sniffed the air and sighed helplessly. She shouted throughout the room, “Second younger woman, why are you secretly consuming snacks once more? If the Madam finds out, she is going to punish you once more. Pricey missy, please cease hiding and are available out now.”

Jiang Wan stepped out from the again of an oriental folding display screen, sustaining a peaceful expression. “That’s not true. Don’t make issues up. I didn’t eat any snacks in secret. Don’t blindly accuse me?”

Qinghe rubbed her brow and sighed. “Missy, are you able to wipe the chilli oil stains out of your mouth earlier than talking?”

Even when she blindly took her missy’s phrases at face worth, the stains round her younger woman’s lips informed a unique story.

God is aware of what sort of affect triggered her younger woman to select up such clumsy antics. In comparison with her mom, who was artful and overbearing when coping with issues, the daughter was a foolish airhead, though considerably lovely every time she tried to mimic her mom’s strategies, usually placing up an boastful and domineering entrance to cowl up her true nature.

Qinghe had lengthy since resigned herself to loyally serve this foolish younger woman. After meticulously tidying up the girl, she conveyed the Madam’s message, “The Madam has a message for you, second younger woman. Su Jin has come to go to our residence once more immediately. Madam needs so that you can work together along with her extra steadily.”

Though Su Jin was of commoner background, she now had immense wealth from her profitable companies. Previous to this, the Madam had seemed down on her and even reprimanded Jiang Wan for associating with Su Jin.

However issues have been completely different now. Even the Grasp had personally praised Su Jin, so the Madam had no purpose to go in opposition to him. She had even inspired Jiang Wan to get nearer to Su Jin.

Jiang Wan’s eyes lit up on the point out of Su Jin, and she or he was about to hurry out whereas holding the hems of her costume. In her coronary heart, Su Jin was equal to the god of spicy strips. Naturally, it goes with out saying that she would keep a detailed relationship with Su Jin even when it was only for her personal sake.

……

Whereas Su Jin and Jiang Ru Yan have been engrossed of their dialog, a notification from the System knowledgeable Su Jin that somebody was lurking exterior the door.

“Huh??”

Was the safety on the Justice of the Peace’s residence so lax that an intruder might simply break in?

Su Jin stopped speaking and gestured to Jiang Ru Yan to not make any noise. She quietly approached the door and immediately swung it open.

“Uwahh…”

A younger woman sporting a pleated emerald costume immediately plunged ahead, screaming in fright as her complete physique was about to crash onto the ground.

Su Jin sighed in resignation and prolonged a hand to help the stability of the brand new entrant, stopping her fall.

Jiang Ru Yan seemed on the surprising customer in shock. With barely raised eyebrows, she questioned the uninvited visitor, “Jiang Wan, why are you right here?”

They have been half-siblings from the identical father however completely different mom, and infrequently crossed paths with one another. She didn’t perceive why Jiang Wan would come over immediately.

There have been rumours floating round that the second younger woman of the Jiang household had a domineering persona and loved tormenting others. In brief, Jiang Wan was not straightforward to get together with. Though Jiang Ru Yan didn’t fully consider the rumours, she saved her distance and prevented pointless contact along with her stepsister.

Jiang Wan regained her stability and adjusted the hems of her costume. Along with her head raised arrogantly, she firmly declared, “I came around. Or am I not allowed to do this?”

Her tone was haughty however the phrases might hardly match her domineering antics.

Su Jin vividly remembered this younger woman. In any case, it was uncommon to return throughout somebody so exceptionally silly. She had impression of her and recommended with a smile, “Would you want to sit down and chat collectively…?”

Earlier than Su Jin might end talking, Jiang Wan rapidly sat down with a proud look on her face. “Since you might have proposed, I shall graciously impose in your goodwill.”

Jiang Ru Yan was not bothered by it. She was simply confused in regards to the objective of her stepsister’s go to. After Jiang Wan suspiciously, she determined to not suppose an excessive amount of about it and continued their dialogue on the designs of her wedding ceremony costume.

Unbeknownst to the each of them, Jiang Wan was panicking inwardly, all of the whereas sustaining her condescending and chilly act as she sipped her tea. How might she take part within the dialog with out making it awkward? Her thoughts was in chaos as she struggled internally.

At this second, her ears immediately picked up the phrase, “spicy snacks”, which introduced her consideration again.

“Spicy strips!? Which flavour?”

Jiang Wan blurted out with out pondering, keen to hitch within the dialogue.

Su Jin: “…”

(Not solely was this second younger woman an airhead, was she affected by hallucinations as nicely? Who mentioned something about spicy strips?)

Su Jin merely recommended to Jiang Ru Yan that lace strips would go well with her costume. How on earth did Jiang Wan’s head interpret it as “spicy strips”? Su Jin had an advanced expression on her face. Was decreasing of IQ a possible aspect impact of overconsumption of spicy strips?

Her recipe didn’t include any dangerous components both. She’s not assuming duty for this!

The individual in query, who had but to determine the scenario, was nonetheless Su Jin enthusiastically.

The System laughed uncontrollably like a madman. “Take a look at the drool on her face. There may be nonetheless some in my storage. Shortly take it out and let her have a style. Initially, I used to be uncertain and had not anticipated that spicy strips would change into common on this historic period, however I assume they actually do have an inexplicable magic.”

Jiang Ru Yan massaged her brow, feeling deeply ashamed. How did she by no means notice that her stepsister was a glutton?

Su Jin pretended to achieve into her chest pocket to tug out the spicy snacks from the System’s spatial storage. She handed them over to Jiang Wan and mentioned, “New flavour, further spicy.”

Some individuals have been solely able to pondering with their abdomen anyway.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Ru Yan had a questioning gaze as she requested: “You carry spicy strips on you wherever you go?”

Su Jin was dressed flippantly. The place did she even discover the house to cover them?

Su Jin casually made up a nonsensical excuse with out blinking, “Uh huh, for refreshment functions.”

“Certainly! This snack is so refreshing. Slurp… ha … slurp-“Jiang Wan clearly not cared about her picture and fortunately indulged herself within the snacks. The brand new flavour was actually spicy and invigorating.

Unsure if this flavour could be accessible on the market on her subsequent go to to the spicy snack retailer, she determined to protect a few of them.

Jiang Ru Yan: “…”

How was she supposed to take a look at her stepsister with a straight face sooner or later after discovering her true nature?

……

In a courtyard, a person was holding an extended sword. With a flick of his wrist, his whole determine moved so swiftly that it nearly left a path of afterimages, inflicting the leaves to rustle with every stroke of his sword.

“Reporting to your highness, I’ve heard that there’s a tremendous restaurant in Fengyuan County. The wine served there’s mentioned to be exceptionally mellow. Would you prefer to strive it?”

Sitting on prime of a tree department, Zuo Yi casually noticed at Ming Jun who was training the sword beneath. He had a relaxed manner, not like the standard critical and dutiful picture he carried.

He had been serving Prince Li since he was a toddler, and often acted prim and correct when dealing with official issues. However in personal, he was allowed to deal with the prince casually like a childhood good friend.

Ming Jue sheathed his sword, evidently focused on it. “Oh? Can it’s in contrast with the first-class eating places within the capital?”

Seeing that his lord was , Zuo Yi jumped down from the tree and patted his sleeves, bowing together with his fists clasped. “It’s rumoured to be on par, if not even higher than the perfect eating places within the capital.”

“Let’s go discover out then.”

He wished to style for himself, what sort of effective wine and alcohol this small county needed to provide, that might even rival the well-known eating places which had a historical past of greater than a century within the capital.

Earlier than lengthy, the 2 of them discovered themselves in entrance of a three-story constructing that occupied a substantial space of land.

On the prime of the constructing, three gold-gilded characters have been prominently embedded on the signboard, shining underneath the reflection of daylight. The title of the constructing was “Bai Wei Fang” (Hundred Flavours Tavern). Ming Jue’s pupils instantly shrunk when he noticed the signboard. He stared at these three phrases, with a glance of admiration on his face.

“What’s the matter, Your Highness?”

Zuo Yi was puzzled when he seen that his lord had change into misplaced in ideas for some time, and needed to interrupt him.

“It’s nothing. This restaurant doesn’t appear easy.”

Simply these three easy phrases, when put collectively, had expressed the profoundness of the restaurant. Ming Jue couldn’t assist however surprise who got here up with this title.
