I made the villain right.

Time flies.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Muci suggested: "It's time for lunch. Yunshuijian is right in front of us. Let's go there to eat, little fairy. I've already reserved a seat."

Shi Jin thought for a moment and asked Fan Hua, "Fan Hua, do you want to go?"

Li Muci knew that if Fanhua didn't go, Shijin would most likely not go either, so he generously and straightforwardly invited Fanhua, "You should come with us, too. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Fan Hua curled the corners of his lips strangely and agreed, "Okay." Shi Jin was a little stunned for a moment when he saw that Fan Hua agreed so readily, but did not think much about it.

After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at Yunshuijian.

The store was crowded and bustling with people, and business was booming. The waiters were in a hurry, busy running around serving the customers, and the delicious food on the table made people linger.

Yunshuijian is divided into two floors. The lower floor is where ordinary people spend their time, and the upper floor has independent private rooms specially designed for wealthy people.

Li Muci was a frequent visitor to Yunshuijian. When the waiter saw him, he took him upstairs to the private room that had been booked in advance.

Li Muci and Fan Hua were both tall and strong, and they walked much faster than Shi Jin, while Shi Jin was still looking around. They saw that everyone had entered the private room, but she was not yet.

As soon as Shi Jin went up to the second floor, she ran into Xu Wusheng who was coming out of the private room. She met him suddenly and faced him face to face. She hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She gave a polite smile and said, "What a coincidence." She looked behind him, but didn't see Yun Youying, but saw the masked man, so she asked in confusion, "Isn't Yingying with you?"

Xu Wusheng didn't know that the Yingying that Shi Jin mentioned was Yun Youying. After hearing this, he looked puzzled and asked, "Who is Yingying?"

"Yun Youying"

Xu Wusheng suddenly realized and explained: "Ying'er is not with me. Miss Shi is looking for her because of something."

Shi Jin waved his hand, "No, I'm just asking."

Xu Wusheng saw Shi Jin coming here alone, so he asked casually, "Miss Shi, are you here alone?"

"No, I have an appointment with a friend." The two chatted calmly.

Li Muci saw that Shi Jin had not entered the private room for a long time, and there were only him and Fan Hua there. The situation was a bit awkward, so he hurried out to look for Shi Jin.

Suddenly, a figure popped out from a private room, and Li Muci shouted to Shi Jin: "Little fairy, stop standing there like an idiot, come here!"

Li Muci's shout attracted the attention of Xu Wusheng and Shi Jin. Since Xu Wusheng was standing in a blind spot, Li Muci did not see him, but he saw Li Muci.

"Oh, okay," Shi Jin replied loudly, then said goodbye to Xu silently and walked into the private room.

Feng Nanyi, who was standing behind Xu Wusheng, had a deep gaze and suddenly said, "This Miss Shi seems to be very popular recently."

Xu Wusheng smiled calmly and said suddenly, "Yes, if I am not mistaken, the man just now was the prince of Yunbohou Mansion. My brother has a new rival in love."

The ancestors of the Yunbohou Mansion for three generations were all important officials in the court. Li Muci's great-grandfather and grandfather were both military generals with outstanding military achievements. They had followed the previous emperor to conquer the Ji Dynasty and were deeply respected by the people. His father was a first-rank official of the Yunbohou Mansion, with a high salary and high position. Li Muci was the only son and was very spoiled. He behaved unruly and was arrogant.

After a moment of silence, Xu said silently: "Sir, I bet that my brother will not get what he wants."

"Your Highness is right," Feng Nanyiyi said respectfully.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them left Yunshuijian.

Shi Jin didn't know what delicious dishes there were. While she was struggling to choose what to eat, Li Muci had already reported a few dishes that he thought were delicious.

Fan Hua was the abnormal one. He didn't choose any dishes and seemed not to care what to eat.

After Shi Jin had made his choice, he slowly asked, "You all have made your choice?"

Shi Jin and Li Muci nodded in succession, just when they were wondering why Fan Hua asked this.

Fan Hua leisurely picked up a recipe book, handed it to the waiter, and said calmly: "I want all the dishes in this book."

There are at least a hundred dishes on this menu, which is a huge number.

Shi Jin was stunned and Li Muci was dumbfounded. Fan Hua's actions made them work in vain.

The waiter was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again: "Sir, are you sure?"

"Hmm." His voice was cold and no emotion could be heard.

After getting the answer, the waiter hurried downstairs. Today was a big deal and he couldn't be careless.

Seeing Shi Jin and Li Muci looking shocked, Fan Hua explained, "It's a rare opportunity to come to Yunshuijian, so of course I have to taste all the dishes."

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "This is too much. I guess I won't be able to finish it."

"Don't we still have the prince here? There should be no problem. Don't you think so, prince?" Fan Hua said with a hint of mockery in his words.

"Yes." Li Muci did not react. He just knew that he could not say no in front of Shi Jin.

Shi Jin rolled her eyes, and heard something fishy in Fan Hua's words. She felt something was strange. She looked at Li Muci and forced a smile, hoping that he would be fine.

Li Muci realized later that something was wrong. Fan Hua's words clearly implied that he was a big eater. He was not a pig that could finish a hundred dishes. It was obvious that he was deliberately making fun of him.

His eyebrows were filled with anger, and he said unhappily: "Fanhua, you are clearly making fun of me"

“Just now, the prince said that he would take us to taste delicious food. Is he going to go back on his word? But I’m afraid we can’t call the waiter back now.” There was a hint of innocence and helplessness in his tone, but there was a strange light hidden in his eyes.

Li Muci refused to admit defeat and said, "It's just a few dishes. I don't mind the money."

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Muci looked Fan Hua up and down, thought for a moment, and looked like he didn't quite understand. Then he asked Shi Jin, "Little fairy, how did you fall for him?" After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Fan Hua, his eyes full of disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Hua slowly frowned, narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Muci, his eyes became dark and dangerous. Although he knew that Shi Jin's love for him was not real, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart when he saw Li Muci say this.

His deep eyes were filled with a bit of sharp coldness, and he asked in a cold voice: "Your Highness, this is wrong. Why can't Miss Shi like me?"

When Li Muci met Fan Hua's eyes, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he felt a little scared, but it disappeared after a few seconds. He looked down on the world and said narcissistically: "You look plain and weak, how can you be as handsome and suave as me?"

Fan Hua sneered and said indifferently, "If the prince's eyes are not good, he should let a doctor take a look." There was sarcasm in his words.

It was really infuriating. Li Muci was very angry with him. Shi Jin covered his face with his hands and avoided his gaze, pretending not to see it.

Seeing this, Li Muci had to suppress his anger, snorted coldly, and said: "My eyes are fine, you don't need to worry about it."

As time passed, dishes were served one after another, filling up the table. People were dazzled and didn't know which one to eat first.

Some dishes were not served as there was no room on the table.

Shi Jin stared at the plate full of dishes in a daze. He saw Fan Hua and Li Muci were very calm, chewing their food slowly and elegantly.

After a while, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish closest to her and started eating.

Seeing that Shi Jin was a little restrained, Li Muci poured her a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Little fairy, don't be polite and eat as much as you want."

"Thank you," Shi Jin said politely.

Seeing this, Fan Hua frowned, picked up a chicken leg for Shi Jin, put it in her bowl, and gave her a faint smile.

Shi Jin showed a dry smile and thanked him quickly: "Uh...thank you, I can do it myself"

Not wanting to be outdone, Li Muci also picked up a piece of braised pork for her.

In this way, the two of them became more and more intense, with each other taking turns to put food into her bowl one after another. The food in the bowl had already piled up into a small mountain and was about to overflow.

Shi Jin gradually became irritable. She sighed deeply, closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. She stared at the two of them with cold eyes and said loudly, "That's enough, both of you."

Shi Jin's sudden temper stunned the two of them, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, Shi Jin raised his hands and said as gently as possible: "I don't have hands, I can pick up what I like to eat myself, so I won't bother you two."

After hearing what Shi Jin said, the two of them stopped picking food for her and stopped fighting temporarily.

Shi Jin ate her own food. Looking at the pile of meat, she felt a little amused and helpless. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully. While eating, she thought that she never wanted to go out with them again.

Everyone ate quietly and fell into a period of peace.

Even though the three of them were eating desperately, they couldn't even finish what was on the table, let alone the dishes that weren't served later. It was such a waste.

The three of them looked well-fed and satisfied.

"Burp~" Li Muci burped and called the waiter outside the door, who came over immediately.

The waiter greeted him with a smile, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"Check out," Li Muci said.

"One hundred taels of silver"

"What? So expensive?" Li Muci asked in surprise. He didn't have that much silver on him. He felt embarrassed and glared at Fan Hua.

Seeing this, Fan Hua curled up his lips into a smile, his face filled with unbridled interest.

After a moment, Li Muci looked a little unnatural. He took out his purse and handed it to the waiter, saying with a lack of confidence: "I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring enough money. I'll buy it on credit first."

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, our store doesn't give credit, please don't make it difficult for me."

Seeing this, Shi Jin took out the purse from his waist and wanted to pay for the remaining money. Li Muci immediately stopped him and said hurriedly: "Little fairy, you don't have to pay."

Shi Jin had no choice but to obey him, but she forgot to hang the purse back to its place and put it behind her seat.

His strong self-esteem would not allow Shi Jin to pay for him.

Li Muci looked at the waiter and said seriously, "How about this, you wait here first, and I will give you the money as soon as I return home."

The waiter thought about it and said reluctantly: "Okay"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fan Hua stood up slowly and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to trouble yourself. This meal will be considered as my treat to you."

After saying that, Fan Hua took out a gold leaf and handed it to the waiter. The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the gold leaf. He immediately took it with an expression as if he had found a treasure. He said to Li Muci, "Prince, your friend is very generous." The waiter took the money and retreated.

Li Muci was caught off guard and was stunned for a few seconds. He shouted to the waiter, "Who said we are friends?" He realized it later and found out the trick. He said, "Isn't this the point?"

He seemed to have thought of something and his face changed. He glared at Fan Hua, "Okay, you, you guessed that I didn't have much money today, so you deliberately ordered a lot of dishes just to see me make a fool of myself. I don't need that little money, so there's no need for you to treat me." His tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"But the prince is just short of this little money now."

"Don't be complacent. I'll let you pay for it first. I'll pay you back as soon as I get home."

"No need, just consider it as a greeting gift."

"I don't want it"

Shi Jin Shi Jin looked at the two people bickering and grinding their teeth, her face turned pale. The drama between the two men gave her a headache.

“You two are really energetic, but I’m a little tired, so I won’t disturb you anymore.” Shi Jin couldn’t bear to watch it anymore and wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Li Muci followed her out. When they went down the stairs, Shi Jin accidentally found that the purse on her waist had fallen on the seat. She planned to go back to get it, so she said to Li Muci: "You go downstairs first, I left something behind and need to go back to get it."

"Okay," Li Muci said and went downstairs.

On the way back to the private room, Shi Jin was thinking about the pain of not eating the dishes she hadn't tried before. That was all money, so she planned to pack up the dishes and take them back.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and saw Fan Hua and the waiter saying, "Send the dishes that are not served to the West Corridor Street and give them to the beggars over there."

"Hello, sir," said the waiter kindly.

Seeing this, Jin's eyes turned and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at Fan Hua.

When the waiter went out, he met Shi Jin at the door and greeted her. Only then did Fan Hua see Shi Jin standing at the door. He looked at her in confusion, wondering why she suddenly turned back.

Shi Jin walked in calmly, smiled at Fan Hua, and explained calmly: "I forgot to take the purse."

Then she walked to her seat to get the money, tied the purse around her waist, and said to Fanhua, "Let's go together." Fanhua nodded.

The two walked side by side and went downstairs together, meeting Li Muci downstairs, and the three of them left Yunshuijian.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and night fell quietly.

General's Mansion.

Shi Jin and Shi Wei had dinner together, and it was rare for Aunt Zhao to be there too.

Because he ate too much at noon today, Shi Jin didn’t eat much at night.

Shi Wei saw that she had no appetite, frowned, and asked: "Jin'er, what's wrong? Why did you eat so little today?"

Shi Jin shook her head and said weakly: "Nothing, I ate too much for lunch and couldn't eat dinner."

Shi Sheng coughed and said in a serious tone: "Sister, a girl should be reserved. What's the point of you chasing after Fan Hua all day?"

Shi Wei also agreed, "Yes, it's outrageous. Besides, I heard from Zhilu that Fanhua is weak. How can he take care of you? Not only can he not take care of you, but you have to take care of him instead. Dad doesn't agree with you two being together. Jin'er, you should find someone else to pursue him."

How could this kid Zhilu let the cat out of the bag? She has already chased him for half of the time, there is no way she will let go.

Shi Jin explained: "Didn't we agree on this last time? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Fan Hua is just feeling unwell temporarily, it's not like he will never get better. Why can't he take care of me? Besides, I have hands and feet, I'm not delicate, I don't need someone to take care of me every day."

Shi Sheng said firmly: "Big brother and father have the same attitude"

Seeing the two men's tough attitudes this time, Shi Jin suddenly showed a sad look and said resolutely: "Dad, brother, I know you are concerned about me, but I have made up my mind. I fell in love with Fan Hua at first sight, and I have a deep affection for him. I will not marry anyone else in this life."

"I'm full, you guys take your time eating." After saying that, Shi Jin left angrily.

Aunt Zhao looked at Shi Jin's receding back, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes gradually became darker. In an instant, she ate the food in the bowl calmly.

After walking away, Shi Jin let out a sigh of relief. She just wanted to find a reason to leave. She didn't want to listen to her elder brother and her father nagging in her ears. It seemed that she still had to find a way to make them accept Fan Hua.

凡府

Fan Hua's bedroom was bright and spacious with flickering candlelight. On a sandalwood table, there was an envelope with a camellia stuck on it. Fan Hua was leaning lazily on a chair. He was wearing a loose robe made of Qushui purple brocade. His eyes and eyebrows carried a sense of laziness. He stared at the letter in his hand in a daze, his eyes gradually deepening, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

This was delivered on time by the Shijinpai people at noon today. It contains embarrassing and cheesy words, which can easily make people fall for it if they read it too much.

What was written on the letter was: Even though there are thousands of beautiful women in the world, I only love you.

Shi Jin's handwriting is elegant and round, and his strokes are as smooth as clouds and smoke.

After a moment, he put the letter into the envelope, slowly stood up, walked to the table beside him, opened the drawer, took out the intricately carved wooden box inside, opened it, and put the envelope in his hand inside.

In addition to the envelope, the wooden box also contains a red bracelet and a prayer belt.

After a moment, he closed the wooden box and put it back in its place.
