Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 230: Tang Fei

During the meal, Xuan Ming had already brought Xuan Ying back.

As soon as Xuan Ying arrived, he stood by the window, watching the spectacle, and clapped in appreciation whenever something exciting happened.

"Haven’t seen a lion dance performance before, this little fool." Le Zhao shook his head with a light laugh.

As several people sat sipping tea, they heard a commotion downstairs.

"How could there be none?" someone shouted, "Shopkeeper Zhang, how can you say that our young master is a regular here, yet today, after finally inviting Miss Red Butterfly out to watch the lion dance, you claim there’s no room on the second floor? What’s the meaning of this?"

Only to hear Shopkeeper Zhang say with difficulty, "I’m really sorry, Tang Gongzi. The last private room was just given to some esteemed guests. I didn’t know you were coming!"

"So, does that mean those people’s meal hasn’t been served yet?" the person shouted.

"That’s right!" said Shopkeeper Zhang, "Those guests just arrived, haven’t had time to serve their meal yet!"

"Well, that’s good." the person said, "Go and tell them, we’ll cover their meal costs if they move downstairs."

"This...might not be appropriate."

Shopkeeper Zhang had been running the tavern for years; other things aside, he had a keen eye.

Those few, at a glance, weren’t ordinary people. He wouldn’t dare offend them!

"Why?" The person suddenly raised his voice several notches, "Isn’t our young master’s status enough for Shopkeeper Zhang to make this trip?"

"No, no, I’m not saying that. It’s just..." Shopkeeper Zhang continued with difficulty, "If Tang Gongzi wants the private room, why not discuss it with those guests yourselves?"

"Hah—" Tang Gongzi said, "I would like to see what kind of people make Shopkeeper Zhang so apprehensive."

He looked at his arrogant retinue and said, "Yuanbao, let’s go upstairs."

"Yes, young master!" the retinue scoffed at the shopkeeper before going upstairs with Tang Gongzi.

"Young master, in my opinion, we should pick another place." The lady named Red Butterfly said, "I’ve been playing the zither all day and I’m hungry now."

"Didn’t Die’er say she wanted to eat the drunken shrimp here?" Tang Gongzi said, "Don’t worry, just wait a bit longer!"

"Yuanbao," the man called out to his retinue again.

The retinue understood, reached out, and knocked "bang bang bang" on the private room where Shen Qinglan and the others were.

The conversation downstairs naturally couldn’t escape the ears of the few people upstairs. Xuan Ming looked at Duan Yunfei, as if asking whether to open the door or not.

"Go ahead." Duan Yunfei raised an eyebrow, "I want to see which young master is so arrogant."

While speaking, he glanced teasingly at Yan Yijie.

Unexpectedly, the other party sat there comfortably, seemingly uninterested in the people outside the door.

It was rumored that the magistrate’s illegitimate son, Tang Fei, born to the second concubine, was three years older than Tang Wan and loved indulging in wine, women, and gambling. He was a typical idler.

Just as Xuan Ming stood up, the door was pushed open.

"Giving you the courtesy of knocking, yet you don’t open!" The retinue angrily pushed the door open.

"Ah! You..."

His expression froze instantly upon seeing Yan Yijie.

"What’s wrong?" came his master’s unhappy voice from behind.

The retinue suddenly turned his head around, hung his head, and said, "Young, young master, I think we should change to another private room!"

"Why?" Tang Fei frowned.

The retinue shifted aside, the faces of several people inside were illuminated clearly in the lantern glow around.

Tang Fei’s pupils shrank instantly, and without thinking, he grabbed his beauty and hastily turned around, wordlessly rushing downstairs.
