Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1502 - 317, Sending Off (first watch of the night)_2

"In the future, you only manage the affairs within the Mansion; other matters, leave them all to Mr. Bin."

Tang Ruyan’s eyes flitted about in panic, although she was not allowed to meddle in other matters, as long as she was still kept by his side, it was fine.

"Yes, yes, Ru Yan remembers, Ru Yan remembers."

Yu Bin glanced sidelong at Tang Ruyan with a hint of secret glee in his heart. Without this clever girl in the way, he could do whatever he wanted freely.

The scandal of Yao Hanai’s secret meeting with her lover spread throughout the Capital city the very next day. Originally, many admired the Capital’s number one talented lady, but after this incident, it immediately provoked unanimous disdain.

To think that the typically dignified and noble ice beauty, was actually such a wanton woman to the core!

However, some believed that it was because Yao Hanai had heard the recent rumors in the Capital about her being sent off for a political marriage, that she deliberately leaked her secret affair, so as to avoid the marriage.

While many more were curiously guessing who that lover could be. Some said it was Xia Zheng, the second son from the General Mansion, but more people stood forth as witnesses that Xia Zheng had always been with Second Master Su, playing chess and drinking tea, and had never been to Yue Lai Tavern.

Others speculated it was the Second Prince, since he had previously visited to propose marriage but was rejected by Graduate Yao.

There were even those who suggested that the man was a young servant or a guard from Yao Mansion; Yao Mansion deemed the match improper and refused to let Yao Hanai marry him. Thus, Yao Hanai secretly met with this servant or guard.

"What do you think, how will Yao Mansion handle this matter?" Lin Yuan put down the brush in her hand and looked up at Xia Zheng, who was idly drawing something.

Xia Zheng curled his lip, looking as though he was relishing the spectacle: "Of course they’ll deliver the daughter to the Second Prince Mansion."

Deliver her? Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Won’t the Second Prince marry her? After all, Graduate Yao still has many students behind him, would they agree without a proper status?"

Xia Zheng smirked and lifted his head to look at Lin Yuan, giving a sly wink: "Hence, if the Second Prince admits to this affair, then Graduate Yao’s students will surely reproach him for not stepping forward immediately. If he denies it, Graduate Yao will certainly not let the matter rest, and will surely use all his power to fight Zhao Hongsheng to the end. Either way, it’s no good for him."

"Wrong to admit or deny, then how will Zhao Hongsheng handle this?" Lin Yuan leaned forward curiously, her eyes bright with interest.

"In my opinion, he will personally visit to propose marriage in the next few days, and completely avoid mentioning Yao Hanai’s secret affair."

Xia Zheng tapped the table with his finger, the corners of his eyes and brows brimming with mirth: "Moreover, if others inquire about this matter, he will certainly look troubled and give evasive answers. By doing so, in the eyes of the public, the Second Prince appears to be covering up the scandal for Yao Mansion by taking on this cuckold purposefully."

Lin Yuan snorted: "How clever of him, he clearly orchestrated this whole affair, yet he pretends to be innocent, truly scum!"

"Scum or not, his goals have been achieved. To avoid his daughter becoming the laughing stock of the city, Graduate Yao can only marry her to him. Moreover, Yao Hanai is not a woman content with mediocrity; after this incident, she will definitely work even harder to aid Zhao Hongsheng with ideas. But... "

Xia Zheng’s meaningful smile elicited Lin Yuan’s burning curiosity: "But what?"

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows at her: "Surely you have not forgotten there’s another woman beside Zhao Hongsheng?"

Indeed, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered. Isn’t there a highly intelligent Tang Ruyan beside Zhao Hongsheng? With those two together, there’s certainly a good show to be watched.

Haha. Lin Yuan laughed heartily: "Not just Tang Ruyan, but also Mo Zhu, Yao Hanai must still be unable to fathom how she fainted. Once she tears off her facade with Mo Zhu, just wait and enjoy the drama!"

When Zhao Hongsheng’s backyard catches fire, let’s see how he continues to fight with others!

Xia Zheng nodded in eager anticipation. That scoundrel Zhao Hongsheng even dared to send an assassin after Lao Fan, forcing him to wear this unspeakable green hat—such light retribution for him! When his backyard is ablaze one day, he would be more than happy to pour some oil on the fire.

As the two were talking, Shopkeeper Liu suddenly knocked and entered. Before he could speak, the trembling old shopkeeper was shoved aside by a young boy who barged in.

"Lin Yuan! Are you going to challenge Drunken Immortal Tower? No, you can’t possibly challenge Drunken Immortal Tower! What is he, you should be challenging my master if you want a competition!"

Watching Shopkeeper Liu teetering and barely managing to stabilize himself, Lin Yuan frowned and scolded Cheng Haoxuan who barged in: "What business is it of yours who I challenge! Why are you here in Dong Tian instead of managing your books at Red Smoke Pavilion? Leave, leave, we do not welcome you here!"

Cheng Haoxuan "eh’ed" and raised his eyebrows: "Why am I not welcome? Young Master I am here to dine at Dong Tian, where is the sense in shooing a guest away?"

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes and ignored him, while Xia Zheng huffed, "So Xiao Bai here knows he’s a guest, huh? Since you’re here to dine, please go to the main hall on the first floor or the elegant room on the second floor. What business do you have in Boss’ accounting room?"

Cheng Haoxuan bared his teeth, thinking hard before finally squeezing out a sentence: "Young Master I am not called Xiao Bai, call me Second Master Bai, Bai Er!"

"Fine, Second Master Bai, please go downstairs!" Lin Yuan glanced at Shopkeeper Liu, and seeing he was alright, didn’t bother with Cheng Haoxuan any further. Nor did she wait for him to bring up any challenge; she simply had him swiftly ejected.

She was not eager for a competition with Drunken Immortal Tower. Could she just shrink back and not accept when they were presenting a Challenge Letter at her door?
