"Hurry up and get those people from Sky No. 1 Room to leave!" After Chong De finished speaking to Xiahou Lian, he immediately berated the shopkeeper who had his face beaten red.

"Let's wait first." Xiahou Lian stopped the shopkeeper, who smiled, and asked gently: "Please tell me, who is in Sky No. 1 Room?"

If it was coincidentally his other royal brothers, then he couldn't let Chong De be so impudent!

He raised his head and glanced at Chong De with some fear. Seeing that did not say anything, he quickly said to Xiahou Lian: "Reporting to Third Marquis, the ones in Sky No. 1 Room are Madam He and her guests from Prime Minister's Estate."

"Oh? So it's actually He Jinlan, that old lady! " Hearing that, Chong De immediately shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that no one else could hear him.

As for this Heaven Fragrant Restaurant, other than the first floor, the upper floors were all private booths, and the environment was extremely quiet as well. Therefore, even if one listened carefully, one would still be able to hear Chong De's shouts on the first floor.

As for Liu Xinyue and the others, who were in the Sky No. 1 Room on the third floor, because no one happened to be in the room, they naturally heard Chong De's shouts of 'old ladies'.

"…" Liu Xinyue's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused, and then put it down as if nothing had happened. He picked up the teacup and pretended to be drinking tea, but in reality, he was using the corner of his eye to see what He Jinlan's reaction would be like.

Just like her, there was also this fella sitting opposite her.

As for He Jinlan, who was called out to be one of the old ladies, his expression was unnatural for a moment at first but he quickly regained it back, still wearing the same generous and proper smile.

"I never thought that Old Master Chong and the Third Marquis would be here too. Why don't we go down and greet them?"

He Jinlan took the wet towel from Cai Ye who was at the side and wiped his mouth. After he said that, he stood up and prepared to go down to take a look.

He didn't expect that the door to the room would be pushed open so roughly at this moment.

Chong De, Xiahou Lian, and the shopkeeper's figure that had an embarrassed expression on his face appeared at the door.

"Yo, it really is that brat Liu Minshan's concubine." Chong De stood at the door and looked inside the private box quickly, and then shouted out loud: "Seems like the shopkeeper didn't lie to me!"

"…" With Chong De's words, He Jinlan immediately retracted the leg he was about to reach out with. He stood in his original spot and looked at, and smiled slowly.

"Just now, I heard the Old Master Chong's voice upstairs. I thought I heard wrongly, I didn't expect it to really be you." He Jinlan laughed as he looked at Chong De, and continued to speak, "Old Master Chong's voice is truly loud, I can even hear him on the third floor."

Chong De was the master of the chong family himself, so his position was still somewhat high, and just as Chong De had said, he was just Liu Minshan's concubine.

Therefore, with regards to what Chong De had just said, He Jinlan had no way of refuting and interrogating him; he could only think of a way to ridicule him from the side.

And the reason why she said those words just now, was because Chong De's words had too big of an impact on other people's eating.

It was a pity, however, that Chong De had never been in school for a few years and was even a person with a direct personality. He could not hide anything from He Jinlan, so he did not understand the meaning behind what he had said just now.

Chong De had thought that He Jinlan was praising him …

"Haha, I was born with a loud voice. There's no helping it, I can't change it!" Chong De laughed, his voice was so loud that it shook the entire private box!

"…" He Jinlan laughed awkwardly, but in his heart, he was continuously looking down on Chong De.

"Jinlan greets Third Marquis."

Not wanting to speak any further with Chong De, He Jinlan immediately bowed to Xiahou Lian who was standing beside him.

"No need for formalities."

Xiahou Lian raised his hand and smiled.

Seeing this, Chong De didn't seem to notice anything different between them. He walked into the private box in large strides and sat down on an empty seat.

"I'm so thirsty." Chong De sat there, and suddenly said.

"Cai Ye, hurry up and show Old Master Chong the tea!" Seeing that, He Jinlan immediately scolded Cai Ye.

After Cai Ye heard this, he immediately lifted his teacup and poured Chong De a cup of tea.

"Old Master Chong, Third Marquis, since we coincidentally bumped into each other here today, why not I be the host and invite everyone to eat together!" He Jinlan saw that Chong De did not have any intention to leave, and quickly thought about it, and laughed.

"Alright, as expected of Liu Minshan's concubine. After Chong De heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed.

However, he praised it too, yet he still didn't let go of the word 'concubine', which made He Jinlan feel extremely awkward.

He Jinlan really wished that he could tear Chong De into pieces right away. A concubine left and right, a concubine right and left.

Xiahou Lian watched the scene from the side and the smile on his face became even more brilliant.

One was chong family, the other was Prime Minister's Estate. If these two were to fight, it would be extremely interesting.

However, very quickly, the smile on Xiahou Lian's face froze for an instant, but it was so fast that no one present noticed it at all.

He had actually forgotten that this chong family and Liu Minshan were on the same boat, so it would not be so easy for them to start an internal conflict.

Moreover, this He Jinlan was just a concubine after all. Liu Minshan shouldn't be stupid enough to go against the chong family for a little concubine.

"Shopkeeper, collect all the rubbish here and serve me the most expensive dishes!"

Since He Jinlan had already spoken, Chong De naturally would not refuse. He immediately waved at the shopkeeper and pointed at the remnants on the table.

"Yes, Old Master Chong. This humble one will find someone to clean up now."

When the shopkeeper saw this, he immediately nodded his head and called for someone to come over. Very soon, the table was cleared of many untouched dishes.

"Hey, Third Marquis, what are you standing there for? Come sit down and rest for a while." Seeing the shopkeeper's speed, Chong De could not help but nod his head in satisfaction.

"Don't be anxious Old Master Chong, the food has not been served yet."

Xiahou Lian said as he walked to Chong De's side and sat down.

"Madam He, may I know who these two young friends are? Why don't you give us an introduction? " After sitting down, Xiahou Lian asked He Jinlan after seeing him.
