Hearing Liu Xinyue's words, the hand that was going to pick up the wooden ear suddenly stopped, turned around, and picked up another dish to eat.

"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. I don't want to eat the same thing as a country bumpkin." She suddenly glanced at Liu Xinyue and spoke with disdain.

However, ever since he received the news that wan chun tang was organizing an auction, he had left the countryside early in the morning. He had been in a hurry along the way, and didn't even have the time to drink a mouthful of saliva.

As a result, he did not care about He Jinlan at all, and started to eat in big gulps.

"Since you like it, then eat more. There's no need to be polite." After He Jinlan heard this, he smiled and said.

"Thank you Madam for your hospitality." Liu Xinyue smiled at He Jinlan, and without further words, he began to eat.

Seeing that, He Jinlan also slowly moved his chopsticks, and for a moment, only the sounds of a few people eating could be heard.

Halfway through their meal, a discordant voice sounded from the street outside.

"Make way, make way, Old Master Chong's carriage is coming, don't be so blind as to smash into it!"

Hearing this, Liu Xinyue put down his chopsticks, coincidentally, she was sitting by the window, so he turned his head and looked outside.

On the street, there was a carriage moving quickly. From the outside, the carriage looked quite domineering and the decorations were quite gorgeous.

Judging from the arrogant tone of the carriage driver, it was obvious that the owner of the carriage was of considerable status.

After thinking about it, combined with what she had heard just now, Liu Xinyue began to carefully observe the carriage. She discovered that on the side of the carriage, hung a sign, which looked like a very ordinary mountain, and this was the symbol of chong family.

It seemed like the owner of the carriage was someone from chong family, but he didn't know who the person inside the carriage was.

"Get out of the way, you dare to stop Old Master Chong's carriage, you are courting death!" The coachman waved his hand vigorously as he drove the carriage, causing the pedestrians on both sides of the road to quickly move aside!

When Liu Xinyue saw this, he felt even more contempt for this person. Wasn't he just a member of one of the ten great families?

Seeing that it was chong family that he loathed, Liu Xinyue didn't have any more thoughts, and prepared to retract his gaze and continue eating.

Suddenly, something happened. A little girl jumped out of nowhere from the front of the carriage. She was squatting on the ground picking up a candied fruit that had fallen to the ground, as if she hadn't noticed the arrival of the carriage.

"Which family's child is this? Get out of my way!" Get out of the way! "

The coachman didn't seem to have expected such a little girl to come out. Moreover, the speed of his carriage was very fast and the distance between the two of them was very short. It was too late to pull the reins.

"Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! "We have to run into each other!" The coachman pulled the reins while shouting, "If you don't get out of the way soon, I'm going to crash into him!"

The little girl in the middle of the street seemed to be frightened by the carriage and stood still. She didn't even know how to run away, but after what had happened to her mother, she was so scared that she fell to the ground crying.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyue, who was on the third floor, could not help but get angry.

"This damned chong family person, is he that cold-blooded?!"

Liu Xinyue wanted to save the little girl, but he was a doctor now, so he could not display any of his power. Furthermore, he could not let He Jinlan find out, otherwise everything would go to waste.

"This chong family person is really arrogant." He didn't know when, but when he walked to the window, he stood to the side and watched this scene with a hint of envy in his eyes.

When did he become so arrogant?! He did not need to become a vassal to others, just like how the Imperial Advisors revered him!

"Haven't you heard that arrogant people usually die too early?" When He Jinlan saw the envy in Huo Ran's eyes, he looked at him with disgust and said with a cold tone.

"He has chong family, the chong family of one of the ten great families!" Hearing that, he could not help but say to Liu Xinyue, "If the other party is arrogant, then he has the qualifications to be so. How could such a clan easily die?"

"Don't say that you can't eat grapes, I think you're just envious here."

Seeing that the two of them had reached the window and were not continuing to eat, He Jinlan stood up and walked over to take a look. Seeing that the little girl was about to be hit, he covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"Aiya, this isn't good. I'm afraid that this little girl is in danger!"

Although he was screaming, he didn't do anything.

Liu Xinyue couldn't help but glance at He Jinlan. One must know that this person had brought a lot of personal guards with him when he was travelling. If he truly felt that the little girl was in danger, he would have been saved long ago by his personal guard.

But the truth?

Liu Xinyue no longer looked at He Jinlan, but continued to pay attention to the little girl below. At this point, it was too late to stop the chong family carriage, as the horses had already been lifted up high.

Just as the horse's hooves were about to kick the little girl, a person walked out from the Fragrant Sky Tower's entrance. He quickly rushed out onto the street, grabbed the little girl and rolled on the ground.

Just as the person was rolling and hugging the little girl, the horse carriage's front foot landed on the place where the little girl used to be.

"Alright!"

"Well saved! "What a hero!"

"If I had been any closer, something would have happened!"

The people on both sides of the street clapped when they saw that the little girl had been rescued.

As for the little girl, she was tightly hugged by her mother and was crying tears of joy.

"Thank you, my benefactor, for saving me. Thank you."

After hugging for a while, the little girl's mother kowtowed to the person who saved her daughter before and thanked him.

"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, then thank the Third Marquis."

Who would have thought that this person would actually walk to the side, and then point at a man dressed in luxurious clothing standing in front of the door of the Fragrant Sky Tower.

"Thank you for saving my life, thank you so much, Third Marquis!"

The little girl's mother did not expect that it was the Third Marquis who saved her, so she quickly kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing this, the well-dressed man standing in front of the door of the Fragrant Sky Tower smiled and waved his hand. He then turned to look at the carriage that had finally come to a stop.

"Wayne, invite Old Master Chong down." Third Marquis Xiahou Lian naturally recognized the carriage that contained the chong family, and stood in its place facing the person who had originally saved the person, purposely saying the word "please" a little too heavily.

"Yes, Third Marquis." The man named Wayne immediately walked to the side of the carriage.

"Old Master Chong, the Third Marquis said that meeting is fated, and he wants to invite you for a meal." Wayne expressionlessly said, "I wonder if you would like to honor me?"
