Chapter 90: All for the Snack Shop
"Can Lady Qi clarify a bit more? It benefits both Lord Jiang and me, and the benefit is indeed substantial," Jinrong inquired.
Jinrong had witnessed the unexpectedly daunting Miss Ye in action. Apart from feeling that Ye Xinyan was somewhat alarmist, he had no particular reaction. This woman was not to be trifled with when she was in the capital city; though she couldn’t be said to possess outstanding eloquence, she often managed to choke her opponents with her words. Now a tiger fallen to Pingyang, if she paid attention to her method and delivery, wouldn’t she still have some debating skill left? He was actually quite eager to hear what shocking remarks Lady Qi could utter.
Jiang Yifan, however, was immensely impatient. After parting ways with this woman last autumn, he felt greatly relieved. He couldn’t even dream of getting entangled with this woman again.
Fortunately, after losing her status from the Duke’s Mansion, even upon encountering her again, she behaved quite sensibly. However, hearing her suddenly refer to him as "Lord Jiang" made Jiang Yifan feel extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Yifan gave Jinrong an unsatisfied glance; it was all due to this fellow causing unnecessary trouble. Regardless, he decided to ignore it. After all, if any troublesome issues arose later, it would be His Highness Prince Yu’s problem to solve—not his.
Qi Younian noticed the expressions of the two nobles and felt insecure about the situation. Although he hadn’t spent much time with his granddaughter, his own flesh and blood had her own method of handling things and wouldn’t embark on something uncertain.
Yet, the words uttered by Ye Xinyan had now unsettled the old master. Who were these two individuals? What kind of business deal could immensely benefit the Emperor’s son? If Ye Zi’s upcoming explanation couldn’t circle back to her preceding statements, what would they do then?
Ye Xinyan, catching sight of Jiang Yifan’s impatience, was infuriated within. Damn it, what’s so great about you? So you’re an Imperial Scholar who placed as a Top Scholar, but what does that have to do with Ye Xinyan? Did he think all the women in the world would be infatuated with him like the original host? Besides, he was nothing more than a renowned name and a pretty boy. After enduring so much, even the original host standing here wouldn’t have any thoughts about him.
