"Ah... S-spare, spare my life..."
The man being choked soon turned red in the face. His will to survive compelled him to grab the other person's hand and plead for mercy. It seemed he was about to be choked to death.
Everything changed so fast. Feng Yunshu had already prepared to dodge, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened suddenly.
There was an unfamiliar yet extremely familiar aura in the air. Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately turned to look at the newcomer, and the gazes of everyone else present also shifted to the person.
The man in front of her wore a silver mask and a black robe with gold trim. His whole body exuded a cold and fierce killing aura.
With just one glance, Feng Yunshu quickly recognized his identity. Even without seeing his true face, just by seeing this familiar silver mask, she could instantly guess that he was Helan Yanting.
She rarely saw him wearing black clothes. Now that she saw him at a glance, he seemed to have a bit more of the overbearing aura that she rarely noticed before. And judging from the imposing manner of his actions, there was no trace of a sick person on him at all.
Sure enough, he was an out - and - out big liar!
Just as Feng Yunshu was looking at him, Helan Yanting pressed the man against the nearby table. He glanced at the man coldly and said, "Immediately kowtow to her and apologize. Otherwise, bear the consequences."
"Spare my life, hero! I really didn't mean to disrupt the place on purpose. I was just taking money to do things for others. There's a rightful debtor for every wrong. Miss and hero, spare this humble life of mine!"
Seeing that the man had confessed everything, Feng Yunshu sneered and glanced at the so - called poisoned man who was still pretending to be ill beside her. "Didn't you say you were poisoned? This poison doesn't seem very strong. Why haven't you been poisoned to death by now?"
As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and poured out a black pill. "I have an antidote here, specifically for your kind of illness, and it's definitely 'effective as soon as it's taken'. Come on, take it."
The "poisoned man" glanced at the pill in Feng Yunshu's hand. A strong sour smell assailed his nose, making his face turn green. He really couldn't hold it back this time and vomited.
"Grandma, you're really my grandma! I know I was wrong! We won't dare to act pretentiously in front of you again. Please spare my life, miss!"
Finally, the whole incident of disrupting the place was brought to light. The on - looking crowd around was almost stuffed with the "gossip" of this evening.
"Everyone, you've all heard and seen, right?"
Feng Yunshu put away the black pill and looked at all the diners present unhurriedly. "Today, these four people clearly joined hands deliberately to disrupt the Wuxiang Tower. The so - called poisoned food and the so - called serious poisoning are all blatant lies!"
"Manager Jia, ask the waiter to find the government officials. Let these shameless scoundrels suffer a bit."
After this incident, Manager Jia had a new understanding of this young and beautiful boss in front of him. He nodded repeatedly and turned around to call someone to drag these people down.
"Everyone, today's incident really disturbed your dining mood. To show our apology, all the meals and drinks in the restaurant are free today, and each person present will be given a pot of the restaurant's special - brewed wine. Welcome everyone to come again next time to taste the signature dishes of Wuxiang Tower."
Feng Yunshu's speech was flawless and very impressive. The diners who were in a bad mood at first all beamed with smiles after hearing it. They all threw the little episode just now to the back of their minds and sat down to continue drinking and eating.
After dealing with this matter, Feng Yunshu looked at the man standing beside her who had been looking at her all the time. She snorted unhappily and said, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
"My lady still remembers me. I thought my lady would forget about me from now on."
"Can you please pay attention to your words? I'm not your wife anymore. Don't call me that blindly. Don't let people misunderstand in public."
"Oh? Who said you're not?"
"Didn't you see the letter of divorce I left?"
Looking at Helan Yanting's bewildered expression, Feng Yunshu began to suspect that he might not have seen her letter of divorce.
Just as Helan Yanting was about to reply, a clear voice behind him interrupted their conversation -
"Sister Feng!"
Hearing the voice, Feng Yunshu looked up. A young man in a light - blue robe, with a fresh and bright appearance, was running towards her with a big smile on his face.
The last time she saw Xiao Changfang, he was being bullied. His clothes were dirty and his hair was a bit messy. Seeing him so neatly dressed today, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but sigh. If this was in an era with celebrities, he would definitely be a debuting young heartthrob.
Who doesn't like to look at a handsome young guy, especially one who is so to her liking. Feng Yunshu immediately beamed with a big smile. She bypassed Helan Yanting and walked forward. "Xiao Changfang, I almost didn't recognize you in this new outfit."
Xiao Changfang was shy. He blushed and scratched his head. "But Sister Feng is always so beautiful. I can recognize Sister Feng at a glance."
"Hey, have you eaten honey? Why are you talking so sweetly?"
Feng Yunshu was逗笑 by Xiao Changfang. She patted his little head.
Xiao Changfang was immersed in the joy of seeing the fairy - like sister again. Suddenly, he felt a cold aura approaching him. He looked up and saw a tall and straight masked man in a black robe in the distance looking at him.
The confused Xiao Changfang subconsciously pulled Feng Yunshu behind him a bit and said carefully, "Sister Feng, that black - robed man seems to be up to no good. He's been staring at us. We need to be careful."
Seeing Xiao Changfang's vigilant look, Feng Yunshu looked up at Helan Yanting with a dark face. She really couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
"Sister Feng, why are you laughing?"
Xiao Changfang still didn't understand the situation. The next second, a gust of wind blew past. The hand that was just holding Feng Yunshu was now empty. Looking up, he saw that Feng Yunshu's hand was already being held by Helan Yanting.
"Hey, who are you? Don't touch Sister Feng!"
Xiao Changfang thought Helan Yanting had bad intentions. He was anxious to come forward and deal with him, but Helan Yanting just casually pressed his fan against Xiao Changfang's head, and the boy was stuck in place and couldn't move.
"You're just a kid. Even if you grow for another ten or twenty years, you'll never be a match for this young master."
"You bad guy, let go of Sister Feng quickly!"
Xiao Changfang was like a little trapped animal, baring his teeth at Helan Yanting.
Afraid that he would get hurt, Feng Yunshu quickly grabbed Helan Yanting. "Come on, Your Highness. You're such an adult. Why are you arguing with him? Xiao Changfang is my younger brother. If you want to bully him, you have to ask me, his elder sister, first."
As she spoke, Feng Yunshu reached out and slapped Helan Yanting's fan away.
"He's your younger brother? Why haven't I ever heard that you have a younger brother?"
After hearing this, Helan Yanting looked at Changfang and then at Feng Yunshu with a puzzled look on his face.
"He's my adopted younger brother, not my biological one. Isn't it normal that you don't know, Your Highness?"
Feng Yunshu replied to him unhappily. "It's getting late. I think everyone should go back home."
