Chapter 81: Bloodsucking: Homicide Case in Heyang County
Ye Jiuge had an excellent sleep, enveloped in Zi Shang’s faint fragrance.
The next morning, after she washed her face and rinsed her mouth, Qing Mama came to the house and reported, “Eldest Miss, the horse-drawn carriage is ready. Lord Wan and Lord Bai responded earlier this morning saying that they would be punctual for your appointment. Will you be going over now?”
“Yes, I’ll go now!”
Ye Jiuge knew that Wan Ziyang and Bai Songling would arrive early. It wouldn’t be polite for her to make them wait. She dressed in a mauve blind-stitched tunic with a clove design and put on a matching curtain hat. She refused Qing Mama’s company and went to the Yuwu Teahouse alone.
As she exited the carriage, she removed her curtain hat, successfully scaring off the shop assistant.
“Lady, we are a teahouse, not a medical center.” You must be in the wrong place!
“That’s right, I am here to drink tea.” Ye Jiuge, whose face was swollen like a pig’s, replied aggressively.
“I apologize, but our main hall has been reserved. I am afraid there are no other seats,” the shop assistant refused her tactfully.
Ye Jiuge’s face was too frightening. If she were to sit in the main hall, the other customers could not converse and enjoy their tea.
