The name of Room No. 1 in Fu'an Restaurant is Youhuangju, which gives people a sense of quiet and peaceful atmosphere as soon as they hear it.

The room is decorated with bamboo as the theme, with ink bamboo paintings hanging on the walls and emerald green bamboo potted plants placed by the windows.

When you walk into the room, you feel like you are in a bamboo forest and can feel the fresh air and the faint bamboo fragrance.

Opposite the door is the porch, on which stands a pot of blooming orchid, adding an inexplicable floral scent to the elegant room filled with bamboo fragrance.

As the charcoal fire burned, an inexplicable tea aroma instantly assaulted everyone. Even Li Shixian, who seldom drank tea, couldn't help but praise it.

"Shu Ting! This tea is different from the one you gave me!"

"Taste it."

As Xie Shuting spoke, she poured a lamp and pushed it in front of Li Shixian.

Looking at the amber-colored tea in the teacup, Li Shixian could no longer suppress the desire in his heart, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Aftertaste in the throat, the floral fragrance is lingering.

“Great tea! Just…”

Li Shixian pursed her lips and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why does this tea have a floral scent? It seems to be different from what I drank before?"

"This is of course the latest scented tea."

Li Shixian was shocked when she heard the sudden words. She immediately took out two copper coins from her bosom and held them quietly in her palm.

Seeing Li Shixian's expression of being faced with a great enemy, Xie Shuting quickly reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "We are one family, don't worry."

Only then did Li Shixian come back to his senses and feel regret for having let his guard down before. If the other party was a master, he would have been seriously injured.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xie Shuting with a resentful look, as if saying: "It's all your fault. You didn't have time to bring out such good tea."

Xie Shuting also sighed innocently, then looked towards the inner room and said loudly: "Since you are here, why are you still hiding in there?"

As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, a woman in green slowly walked out. She had a graceful figure and light steps, as if she had walked out of a painting.

The face was even more stunning, with skin as white as snow and facial features that looked like jade carvings.

As soon as the person stepped forward, a closer look revealed her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her slightly opened red lips, revealing the demeanor of a noble lady.

"Shu Ting! This is..."

The woman in green stepped forward with a smile, nodded to Li Shixian, and then bowed slightly to Xie Shuting and said, "This servant greets the young lady."

"this......"

Li Shixian looked at Xie Shuting with horror, and wondered in her heart: "Shuting! Could she be one of the two girls just now?"

"This is Lian Yue. She is a sister of Lian Xi and is also the owner of the Lotus Tower."

While Xie Shuting was talking and laughing, she looked at Li Shixian and said, "Lian Xi! This is Li Shixian. You can call her Miss Li. She and I are close friends."

"Yue'er meets Miss Li." Lian Yue bowed.

She knew clearly how good her lady was at judging people. Once a person could be described as a "close friend," she knew that her lady had exposed his true colors.

What's more, today is the year-end party of Lianjia Merchants. The fact that the other party can easily intervene shows that she is very important in the lady's heart.

"I don't deserve it. You are really amazing." Li Shixian praised repeatedly.

She was also shocked in her heart, because nowadays women are mostly bound by secular ethics and it is extremely difficult for them to engage in business.

Even in the martial arts world, women have many inconveniences, so she disguised herself as a man. At the same time, if it weren't for his amazing martial arts talent, I'm afraid she wouldn't have a place in the martial arts world.

"Miss Li, you are too kind."

Lian Yue stroked her hand and said calmly, "I have seen Miss Li mentioned in a letter before. Today I have seen her in person. She is indeed very beautiful."

"Miss Lian Yue, thank you for your praise." Li Shixian bowed slightly and said with some embarrassment.

She knew that Lian Yue was just being polite, but what she never expected was that Xie Shuting actually wrote a letter to Lian Yue and asked her to do something for her.

After watching the two of them exchange greetings, Lian Xi, who was eager to make a move, stepped forward aggrievedly, held Lian Yue's hand, and muttered, "Sister Yue."

"You! You are so old. If someone sees you like this, it will be embarrassing for the young lady."

Lian Yue's words were slightly complaining, and he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the tears from the corners of Lian Xi's eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Shuting was also relieved. Looking at the two sisters who had a deep friendship, she teased, "What? Are you complaining now?"

"Miss! I didn't do that. It's just... it's just that I can't control myself when I see Sister Yue."

"You! If others saw it, they would think I treated you unfairly."

Xie Shuting raised her hand with a joking smile and said, "You two should sit down too. It's just right for you to drink the tea that Lian Yue brought."

The two sisters looked at each other and sat down. After drinking some tea, Lian Yue gave a brief report on what happened in the past year.

Li Shixian sat obediently aside, drinking tea and listening to a story he didn't quite understand.

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting nodded approvingly. She had no doubts about Lian Yue's arrangement. After all, Lian Yue's business acumen in his previous life had been recognized by her.

"Miss! That's all the details. How do you plan to arrange the year-end party tomorrow?" Lian Yue asked softly.

"It's the same as in previous years! But this year I'm going to show up."

"No!~"

Lian Yue hurriedly tried to stop him, but suddenly felt that his tone was too harsh, so he softened his tone and said, "Miss! You can't show up now."

"Is it because of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Miss, do you know?" Lian Yue asked suspiciously.

"When I entered the restaurant today, I noticed something strange about it. I'm afraid you've been watched. Your back-up plans may not be very effective." Xie Shuting shook her head helplessly.

After she learned that Lian Chujun appeared in the restaurant, she realized that Lian Yue might want to use the Jiangnan Lian family to confuse the public, but Lian Yue underestimated the methods of the Ministry of Punishment.

Moreover, the Lian family merchants have been under the attention of Emperor Song Zhen for five or six years. During these five or six years, he may have grasped many of the Lian family merchants' hidden cards.

If she didn't put the Lian family's business out in the open, it would inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion. After all, the influence of the business was too great.

Lian Yue knew that as long as the conclusion was drawn by her young lady, it would be almost correct.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Miss! Is it all or..."

"All of them." Xie Shuting said without hesitation.

Lian Yue knew that her young lady had made up her mind, so she did not try to persuade her. She knew clearly that even ten oxen could not pull her back from her decision.

They drank tea for a while and discussed for a few more sentences. Then Lian Yue bowed and said goodbye to them and hurriedly left the room.
