Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1480 - 299, Enemy (16)
Chapter 1480: 299, Enemy (16)
Lin Yuan glanced at Xia Zheng and mentioned that this matter was very tricky because Lin Yi still hadn’t found Mengzi, and with the person concerned absent, even with Boss’s testimony, it was difficult to bring Mo Zhu to justice.
If the previous matter with Dong Tian could be ignored, this one could not. Firstly, Princess Anle would never agree.
"You see..." Lin Yuan looked at Xia Zheng, noticing his equally grim and terrifying expression, her heart skipped a beat, realizing that Yao Hanai was in for a bad end.
"What else is there to see? Yao Hanai is nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing!"
Xia Zheng was still pursing his lips without speaking, when Yan Ruchun hurriedly came forward and interjected: "Lin Yuan, no matter what you think, I am not afraid of the Mansion of the Grand Scholar. If Yao Hanai throws Mo Zhu under the bus to take the blame, I’ll just find someone to forcefully teach her a lesson in secret! Humph, she dares to mess with me, she must be tired of living!"
Yan Ruchun wasn’t fully aware of the issue with Tian Hui’s carriage, she thought Lin Yuan’s inquiry to Xia Zheng was about framing Dong Tian.
Wei Boyu grimaced and quickly stepped forward: "Can’t you speak less?"
"You shut up!" Yan Ruchun glared, and Wei Boyu was silenced by her stare.
Lin Yuan silently watched these two nearly exploding folks and shook her head, looking back at Xia Zheng.
Although it was Tian Hui’s carriage that had been tampered with, Yao Hanai had no quarrel with Tian Hui; if anyone did, it was her.
Thus, Lin Yuan believed that Yao Hanai couldn’t directly tamper with her carriage, so she must have used Tian Hui’s carriage to harm her instead.
Xia Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly snorted coldly, looked at Yan Ruchun, and asked sternly, "How do you plan to teach her a lesson? Just beating her up is enough?"
Yan Ruchun was actually taken aback by this question. Yes, is just beating her up enough? Perhaps even kill her? Although she was furious about Yao Hanai throwing dirt on her father, there wasn’t any significant loss.
"This..." Yan Ruchun pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids slightly, and fell silent.
Wei Boyu tugged at the corner of his mouth, seemingly relieved.
Xia Zheng then looked back at Lin Yuan: "Leave this matter to me."
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened as she looked at him, feeling that the slight curve of Xia Zheng’s lips seemed to be brewing some wicked idea.
She couldn’t help but ask: "Have you thought of a good idea?"
Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow, caressing her hand back and forth: "Have you forgotten? The Crown Prince of Xiliang is planning to enter into a marriage alliance, right? We just lack a suitable substitute princess!"
Marriage alliance, substitute princess?
Lin Yuan’s eyes brightened, indeed, was Yao Hanai doing all this just to eliminate her and then monopolize Xia Zheng? Since what she was eagerly looking forward to was marrying Xia Zheng, then let her hopes be dashed, send her to marry far away to Xiliang!
Yan Ruchun was also stunned, but immediately smiled gleefully: "Great! That’s fantastic, Yao Hanai has always been so haughty, feeling that no man in the Capital City is worthy of her, not even the Prince. Perfect, let her go to Xiliang and become a decorative Imperial Concubine, competing with a bunch of women for a man, she will definitely love that kind of life, haha."
Not only that, but the Crown Prince of Xiliang is full of tricks and good at strategizing, just let Yao Hanai, this sinister woman, follow him, and they can scheme against each other!
Not only Lin Yuan and Yan Ruchun, but even Wei Boyu thought this plan was very good.
However, whenever Lin Yuan looked at Xia Zheng unintentionally, she always felt that the smile at the corner of his mouth was meaningful, as if this matter was not as they had imagined.
After the group discussed how to deal with Yao Hanai in the tea house, Xu Muqing’s maid also ran over excitedly, saying that Xu Muqing and Wei Borong had picked a lot of lively crabs by the river and had already sent them to Dong Tian.
The little maid also looked at Lin Yuan with a giggly smile, saying that her young lady was already waiting in Dong Tian, and asked her to prepare a crab feast at noon.
Hearing about the crabs, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but hook the corner of her lips, mentioning that her Dong Tian didn’t have the crab dish yet.
Speaking of eating, Xia Zheng was the first to laugh: "Crabs to eat? Haha, today is indeed lucky thanks to Second Fool, otherwise when could I taste the big crabs made by my own Yuanyuan?"
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but give him a look, as if he had meant that she had never satisfied this guy’s cravings.
But since Xu Muqing and Wei Borong had already bought the crabs, then they might as well have crabs for lunch.
She turned her head towards Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu, smiling, "Shall we go together?"
Wei Boyu was not shy at all, since the people who bought the crabs were his own younger brother and future sister-in-law, it was reasonable for him as an uncle to go and enjoy a meal.
But as for Yan Ruchun, thinking about her awkward status, although she really wanted to join, she still lifted her eyelids and shook her head: "I have to go back and tell father about this matter, I won’t join you for lunch."
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, she clearly saw the anticipation in Yan Ruchun’s eyes, why did she start acting so reserved?
But with a quick thought, Lin Yuan understood, previously this girl was carefree, but after the incident where Consort Liu scolded Xiao Linshuang, she probably felt bad about it.
"Talking can wait, it’s not urgent, let’s go, Dong Tian is just outside the tea house anyway, it won’t take up much time."
After finishing her words, without waiting for Yan Ruchun to say anything else, she had already left with Xia Zheng, and on her way out she didn’t forget to look back and repeat: "Hurry up, if you’re late, I can’t guarantee Mu Qing will save any for you!"
Xia Zheng also looked back and snorted at Wei Boyu, but with Lin Yuan there, he didn’t say the words ’don’t let Wei Boyu come and eat the crabs’.
After the two had left, only Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu, this pair of old foes, remained in the elegant room.
Yan Ruchun clearly hadn’t snapped out of Lin Yuan’s invitation, and was somewhat stunned for a moment.
Wei Boyu glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, couldn’t help but laugh: "Wow, the fearless Mother Tiger, Yan Smelly Mouth, can actually make such an expression? Tsk tsk, really should drag you out to the main street for everyone to see, it would definitely let everyone... Ow! What’s with that look! Didn’t you see my foot here? Stepping on it like that? Ouch, you’re stepping again! Didn’t we agree no hands, only words?"
Getting away from Wei Boyu’s feet, Yan Ruchun felt greatly pleased and swaggered out the door, still proudly muttering, "Carrying such stinky feet outside? Psh!"
Watching Yan Ruchun vanish at the doorway, Wei Boyu gnashed his teeth in anger. No wonder the women in the Capital city didn’t like to associate with Yan Ruchun, truly a foul mouth indeed!
