Chapter 107: Imprisonment

  Third sister, I'm going to Tianxiang Building later, are you coming or not? Xi Mei asked her third sister.

  After all, when girls grow up a bit, they can't go out so recklessly, their reputation is important.

  So, take advantage of the time when you can still play more and go out and have fun while you can.

  As expected, after Xi Mei finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in Xi He's eyes, but it slowly faded away.

  I'm not going, Mother still wants me to accompany her to the mountain to burn incense today. Xi He said disappointedly after struggling for half a day.

  Downstairs, put on the butterfly shoes embroidered by your elder sister, Xi Mei said, don't worry about this, I'll go tell Mother.

  Out of the house door, looking at last night's goose feather-like snow, today the sun is already out early to work in the sky.

  Lowering her head, she took a look at the empty courtyard and thought to herself: "It's about time we planted something in our yard. Otherwise, it looks so bare and ugly."

  Her eyes swept around in a circle and saw her mother's shadow sweeping snow, so she ran up to her. However, before she could get there, she was scolded by her mother.

  It's so slippery, do you still want to run over? What if you accidentally fall? It's almost New Year's, don't get into trouble! Although the tone is serious, but the eyes reveal a strong concern.

  So, Xi Mei carefully walked over and whispered to her mother, "Mother, I have to go to the wine tower today. Can San Jie come with me?"

  Zhao looked down and saw Xi Mei's somewhat nervous face, thinking to himself, yes, in this situation, his family would have to send someone.

  But early in the morning, her husband went to the workshop. As a woman who stayed at home, it was not suitable for her to go out and show her face.

  Looking around, I had no choice but to let Xi Mei go. Xi Mei accidentally created a hot pot, and it was reasonable for her to go. It's better if Xi He goes too, the two can take care of each other, and she can also be at ease, thinking so.

  Mr. Zhao nodded in agreement, go ahead, but be careful, don't cause trouble for the Wang family.

  As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Mei opened her eyes wide in incredulity and stared at her mother. Hadn't she just misheard? When had her mother become so easy to talk to?

  Zhao looked at her silly appearance and intentionally put on a serious face, saying: "Do you still want to go or not? If you drag your feet any longer, none of you will be able to go."

  As soon as she finished speaking, her younger sister had already run far away. Mother, then I'll go with third sister now. I will miss you~~~

  Zhao's hand holding the broom paused slightly, and then she smiled lightly, saying "This girl".

  After all, in this ancient times that is shy to express emotions, Xi Mei's passionate and unrestrained attitude still gave Chen Tian Fa couple a big shock. But as time passed by, they slowly got used to it, if for a period of time Xi Mei didn't act spoiled, I reckon the father of the child wouldn't be accustomed to it either.

  Cough, the topic has gone off on a tangent.

  But then, Xi Mei and Xi He walked out of the Chen family's main gate. As expected, Wang Zi Han had already sent a car to wait outside.

  Seeing the two of them come out, Erzi quickly ran up and smiled: "The two ladies, you've finally come out. How about it? Shall we go now?"

  In recent years, I've followed Wang Zihan to the Chen's house many times. Erzi has also become familiar with several people and is no longer so awkward when speaking.

  Supporting Xihe sister on the carriage. After a brief instruction, with a crack of the whip, the horse-drawn carriage headed in the direction of Tianxiang Building...

  The second son is indeed Wang Zihan's exclusive driver, and before long, the sound of his voice came from outside the curtain, "Two ladies, we've arrived."

  As she walked into the wine house, Xi Mei found that inside was not as bustling with people as she had imagined, but rather quiet and deserted, with only a few people dressed in uniform.

  "Is your young master home? Has he arrived?" Xi Mei asked with some unease.

  Facing him, Qin Zhuang came hastily, his hair was also combed neatly, and he wore a brand new dark blue robe that had never been seen before.

  Probably seeing Qin's small mustache also combed neatly, Xi Mei forgot her previous unease and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  This smile stunned everyone present. Xi He poked her and whispered, "Xi Mei, what's wrong with you this time?"

  Excuse me, I couldn't help it. Xi Mei was barely holding back her laughter and apologized repeatedly.

  Finally, after shifting her gaze elsewhere, Xi Mei asked, "Aunt Qin, what's going on today? Why are there so few people coming?"

  Qin Zhuanggui smiled and stroked his beard, saying with a mysterious face: Not less, not less, our entire second floor has been booked by someone.

  "What?!" exclaimed Xi Mei and Xi He in unison, then looked at each other in surprise, asking in puzzlement: "Who has such a big hand, to book the entire second floor?"

  Qin Guan was taken aback and replied, "I didn't think of that either, but they were quite generous with their gift, and I was too busy being happy."

  After a moment, he asked nervously, "Nothing will happen, will it?"

  Being scolded by Xi Mei like this, Qin Zhuang also became suspicious and fearful.

  Xihe looked at the two people who were muttering to themselves and sighed, what's there to worry about? We're doing business openly and honestly, can't we just avoid any trouble? Stop scaring yourself.

  Opposite Qin's shopkeeper thought for a moment, it was this matter, they were honest and did business, what was there to be afraid of? He shook his head, secretly scolding himself for being more and more useless with age, not even as good as a ten-year-old girl.

  Then, Uncle Qin, since the second floor has been booked by someone, why is the first floor still so quiet?

  This silly girl, you go to the restaurant every day at dawn, don't you see that business is booming in that restaurant? Of course, it's not until almost noon when people come to eat that there are more people.

  Afraid that she would say something astonishing, Xihe pulled her aside and said, "Don't say anything more, aren't we here to help? Come on, let's go to the kitchen and see if we can be of any assistance."

  Before she could refuse, Xihe pulled her into the kitchen.

  Not mentioning Xi Mei's selfless dedication for the entire morning, it was almost noon when, as Qin Zhuo had expected, more and more people started to arrive.

  A stout middle-aged man swaggered into the tavern, opened his mouth and said, "Hey, you guys have something new here, what's it called? That pot thing?"

  Thought for half a day without thinking of it, shouted loudly, no matter what pot, hurry up and bring it to the old man.

  The young waiter hastily came forward, led him to the table, wiped it with a smile and said: Alright, sir, please wait for a moment, we'll bring it over right away.

  Ran into the kitchen and shouted: Table 3 wants a spicy hot pot.

  The aroma of boiling hot pot gradually filled the entire hall. People who didn't plan to eat here were also attracted by the fragrance.

  Hey, boss, give us a luxurious room. Of course, too many people isn't good either, you know? We just got comfortable for a short while and then something happened.

  Only to see Qin Zhuang running up with a smile and saying: "This guest officer, it's really unfortunate, our second floor VIP rooms have all been booked today. You see..."

  Looking at the newcomer with a difficult expression, although it was said to him, but also reminding those who came later. You can eat, but the small shop really doesn't have a private room anymore.

  "What's going on? This floor is so noisy, how can we eat?! Someone said in a fluster."

  This sentence successfully enraged other diners who were happily eating on the first floor, hey, what's with the way you're talking?

  Can't you speak? If not, then get out of here quickly!

  Everyone is angry, and this person just muttered a sentence in a low voice. That's what I'm saying.

  Afraid that things would get worse, Qin Zhangzi had to step forward and laugh, "It's all right, it's all right. If you're not satisfied with the mess here, we can have the food delivered to your mansion. You can eat there in the comfort of your own home."

  Thus, they finally persuaded this fastidious diner to leave.

  In the kitchen, Xi Mei, who was helping to wash vegetables, curiously asked her third sister, "Sister, what kind of person is that on the second floor? They still haven't come down. And besides, they've occupied the entire second floor, making it impossible for us to eat even if we want to."

  Xihe listened to her nagging, put the big white cabbage she had just washed on one side to drain the water, and said, "This has nothing to do with you, why are you so concerned?"

  Xī jiě kǔ xiào, zěnme bù guǎn tā shì le, zhè bǐ mǎi mài dà duō shù qián kěshì jìn tā dòu ne, zhè rén píngbái wú gù de zhàn zuò dà de dì, fáng ài le tā zuò shēng yì, nǐ shuō, tā guǎn de liǎo guǎn bù liǎo?

  Hey, girl, have you already forgotten that I've paid you?

  Her eyes rolled around and Jixia got up, covering her stomach and said to Sanjie: "Sanjie, I'm not feeling well, I'll go to the toilet."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Xi He's reaction and quickly ran away.

  Guess what this girl ran out of the kitchen for?

  That girl, unable to hold back her curiosity, wanted to run up to the second floor to see who that guy was, so wealthy and extravagant, that he could book the entire second floor.

  Avoiding the bustling hall, dodging the shopkeepers darting around the hall, and hiding from Prince Wang Huan who arrived late.

  Sister quietly climbed up to the second floor alone.

  Unlike the lively atmosphere of the first floor, the second floor was eerily quiet. If it weren't daytime, Xi Mei would have probably been scared off and run back to the first floor already.

  Her feet stepped on the ancient and fragrant corridor, Xi Mei temporarily forgot what she came for.

  Looking at the sunlight pouring through the window and sprinkling on me, warm and comfortable, it makes people feel happy.

  Her fingers slid across the door, feeling the rare stillness and tranquility.

  Just as she was passing by one of the rooms, the door suddenly opened from inside!

  What's even more astonishing is that before I could clearly see the scene in front of me, a pair of bony hands stretched out from inside and dragged me in.

  The whole process was like a flash of lightning, and in an instant, Xi Mei was so shocked that she forgot to cry for help!

  Her mind went blank for a moment, but soon, Xi Mei reacted and wanted to resist. However, she was no match for him, and before she could even move, she was tightly wrapped in his arms.

  His eyes were also firmly covered by a large hand.

  Darkness, fright, in an instant, Xi Mei didn't even know what she was thinking about at that moment.

  His hands were held behind his back by someone, and he was about to kick the person with his legs, but unfortunately, his legs were tightly clamped between the person's thighs.

  No matter who is held in such a posture, they will be terrified and uneasy, right? Of course, Xi Mei is no exception.

  Struggling desperately, she didn't expect it to be in vain, and was tightly trapped in someone's arms. Suddenly, a feeling called fear rose up in Xi Mei's heart.

  There was a faint breathing in her ear, and the large palm trapped herself in his arms. The room was filled with the sound of her own heartbeat pounding wildly, and Xi Mei felt like she was going to pass out...
