The blue - robed man strolled back to Feng Yunshu's side and gently tapped the bottom of his robe with his fan.
"Miss, do you appreciate my skills?"
Feng Yunshu smiled. "Amazing. Your skills are truly remarkable..."
"Then, could I catch your fancy, miss?"
"Um... well..."
Feng Yunshu was taken aback. As the man suddenly leaned forward, she instinctively took a few steps back. "Sir, can we talk this through calmly?"
The blue - robed man hooked his lips into a smile. "Miss, why do you always seem so afraid of me? Do I look that scary?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration struck Feng Yunshu. This sounded so familiar. Where had she heard it before?
At this moment, Chang Dazhu across the way saw his thugs all knocked to the ground and panicked for a moment.
"This is outrageous! I think you folks clearly came here today to pick a fight with the Chang family. Since you're causing such a ruckus, we'll see you in court! I'd like to see if you can still be so arrogant in front of the magistrate!"
Feng Yunshu stepped forward a few paces and looked at Chang Dazhu with a cold expression.
"Mr. Chang, it was clearly your men who started the fight today. How can you act so justified?"
Feng Yunshu sneered. "All along, the manager of the Five - Spice Pavilion was Chang Fang's father. You have your own business. Now that Chang Fang's father has passed away, logically, the management right of the Five - Spice Pavilion should belong to Chang Fang. What business is it of yours?"
"Don't give me that. How old is Chang Fang? Can he manage such a large restaurant? Before my second brother passed away, he told me to take good care of the Five - Spice Pavilion and Chang Fang. I never expected Chang Fang to go astray. As his uncle, it's only right for me to discipline him. What's wrong with that?"
"Hehe," Feng Yunshu smiled again, then turned and walked to little Chang Fang. "Little Chang Fang, how old are you?"
"Fourteen."
"Do you think you need your uncle's discipline, or do you have your own ideas?"
As she spoke, Feng Yunshu winked at Chang Fang. "I heard from you before, little Chang Fang, that you wanted to transfer the Five - Spice Pavilion, right?"
The young boy was a bit stunned. He blinked at Feng Yunshu, then nodded in perfect cooperation. "You're right, pretty sister. I do have this intention."
"Good."
Feng Yunshu turned to look at Chang Dazhu and the others. "Everyone here, did you all hear that? Chang Fang is fourteen now. He's not an ignorant child. He can fully exercise his due rights."
"And he also said he wants to transfer the Five - Spice Pavilion. I approached him before and said I wanted to buy it. Isn't this just perfect?"
Chang Dazhu's face changed drastically. Before Feng Yunshu could finish speaking, he immediately interrupted. "No! I won't agree! The Five - Spice Pavilion is the foundation of the Chang family for generations. It's finally achieved its current reputation. How can a young boy just transfer it as he pleases? There's no such simple thing!"
"I think you crazy woman are probably a swindler. You see that Chang Fang is innocent and try to induce him to transfer the Five - Spice Pavilion so you can get the management right. You're extremely insidious and despicable!"
Feng Yunshu turned to look at little Chang Fang. "Little Chang Fang, do you believe me or your uncle? I'll buy your Five - Spice Pavilion with two hundred thousand taels of gold, and I promise you can still be the manager. Are you willing?"
As soon as Feng Yunshu mentioned "two hundred thousand taels of gold", the on - lookers were all shocked, their jaws almost dropping.
"I didn't expect a crazy woman like you to be so bold. If you can take out two hundred thousand taels of gold at once, I, Chang Dazhu, will bite the stone lion at the restaurant entrance on the spot!"
Chang Dazhu sneered contemptuously. "But if you can't, you and this blue - robed man have to kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize, and bark like dogs. How about it?"
"This is what you said yourself, and everyone heard it. If I can take out two hundred thousand taels of gold now, he has to perform biting the stone lion on the spot. You all have to be witnesses."
Feng Yunshu tilted her head and smiled playfully. "Mr. Chang, don't you usually like to eat pig intestines, especially the uncleaned ones? I suspect your brain is probably blocked by pig manure."
Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was just too vivid.
Chang Dazhu blushed with anger. "Stop talking nonsense! Can you take out the silver or not? If you can't, you two should obediently work as servants for the Chang family!"
Feng Yunshu smiled nonchalantly. "Then watch closely."
Just as Feng Yunshu was about to take out the banknote worth two hundred thousand taels of gold from her purse, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the blue - robed man standing beside her. Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Oops... Sir, I just had a momentary brain freeze. I do have a banknote for two hundred thousand taels, but it's not entirely mine... I also promised someone to keep one hundred thousand taels for them..."
Feng Yunshu slapped her head and whispered in the blue - robed man's ear, looking a bit flustered.
"If I spend this one hundred thousand taels of gold without permission, that person will surely not let me off easily. What should I do... Sir, do you have one hundred thousand taels of gold on you? Lend it to me?"
"It's okay." The blue - robed man hooked his lips and whispered. "Since it's in your custody, it's yours. You can use it as you like. He won't blame you."
"Really? But he has a very bad temper and is extremely vengeful. If I really spend this silver, he will definitely cause trouble for me..."
Hearing this, the blue - robed man's tone became a bit strange. "Are you sure he has a bad temper and is very vengeful? Could the miss be talking about your husband?"
Feng Yunshu nodded. "Yes, it's him. He's... hard to describe..."
"Really? Hehe."
The blue - robed man suddenly let out a dry laugh. "Miss, you can use it first. If your husband追究起来, I'll explain it for you. I'll pay off this debt of one hundred thousand taels for you. You can just divorce him and be with me."
Feng Yunshu blinked, then suddenly got close to the blue - robed man's ear and deliberately slowed down her breathing. "Sir, are you really that fond of me?"
The blue - robed man trembled slightly. His ears immediately turned red, and he hurriedly looked away.
Feng Yunshu accurately caught the blush on his ears and understood at once. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes and eyebrows.
Sure enough, the old fox is still an old fox. I'd like to see how long you can keep up this act.
"I suddenly think that you, sir, are really good - looking, and you're stronger than my husband. Maybe I can really consider kicking my husband to the curb and running away with you."
The blue - robed man was stunned for a moment.
Feng Yunshu took out the banknote from her purse and walked slowly to Chang Dazhu. Then she unfolded the banknote and slowly waved it in the air.
"Mr. Chang, come on. Open your eyes wide and see if this is a banknote for two hundred thousand taels of gold. This banknote was issued by the Tianxia Bank and can be cashed at any time."
Seeing the banknote for two hundred thousand taels, Chang Dazhu shivered in fear. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and tried to reach out to take it. Feng Yunshu immediately dodged and showed the banknote to the others with a smile.
"Everyone, did you all see it? A banknote for two hundred thousand taels of gold, neither more nor less. So now, let's welcome Mr. Chang to perform biting the stone lion for everyone."
