LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 267 Going bankrupt
Seeing that Yuan Chu was full of confidence in the bet, Nangong Yu stopped worrying and only asked her why she was besieged at the door just now. Yuan Chuyi smiled helplessly, "I think there must be someone behind this matter, you have to help me check it out!"
"Okay, I'm going to question those people right now!"
When the guards arrested people just now, many people fled in all directions, but they still captured several and sent them to the Yamen. Yuan Chuyi had no interest in interrogating prisoners. She was busy trying the dishes now. Now that the Queen was here, she was also dragged to try the dishes and wait for Nangong Yu together.
"Well, these dishes are very delicious!" The queen praised, "Where is your restaurant? When it opens, I will sneak out of the palace and go to the restaurant to taste it."
"Okay, if you want to come, I will pick you up!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile, "If you can show your appreciation to my shop, then my shop will be full of glory!"
Yuan Chuyi's store was too small to be turned into a high-end restaurant, so she targeted the restaurant's customers as middle-class people, who did not have much money but also had certain financial capabilities. Therefore, the positioning of a restaurant is to be economical and the food must be delicious.
The queen looked at Yuan Chuyi worriedly, "Are you really sure you can get the Phoenix Blood Vine tonight?"
Yuan Chuyi nodded with a smile, "It shouldn't be a big problem!"
The queen held her hand and said, "If this can be done, that would be the best!"
She didn't want to see Xiao Jing die in the early Yuan Dynasty and be forced to surrender to Beidi.
While the two were talking, Nangong Yu came back, but his expression was not very good. After being chased by Yuan Chu, he was depressed for a long time before saying: "It was the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's family who asked them to do this!"
Yuan Chuyi smiled bitterly. She had never met the right minister's housekeeper, let alone offended him. Why did he treat her like this? It seemed that someone asked him to do it. He was complaining about her taking Xiao Jing as a bet last night. Unfair.
"Until brother comes back, sister-in-law, don't go out these days. When you enter the palace at night, I will send more guards to pick you up!" Nangong Yu said.
"That's no need. Although there are few people in our house, there are still guards. They can just send me to the palace." Yuan Chuyi didn't want to trouble others.
"Okay, then you must be careful. If anything happens, let me know!" Nangong Yu explained, escorting the queen back to the palace.
After seeing off Nangong Yu and the Queen, Yuan Chuyi continued to test dishes with the three chefs, and worked out the restaurant's menu with them before letting them go back to prepare for the opening in two days.
After finishing all this work, it was already late in the afternoon. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Chuyi was about to lie down on the soft couch and take a nap before preparing to enter the palace, but Yun Xuan hurried over and said that Xiao Jing was back. She was overjoyed and immediately wanted to go out to greet him, but when she thought that she had made a bet with him without his consent, even though it was a certainty that she would not lose, he would be angry if she could not be sure.
When she thought of this, she turned around and went to the ancestral hall, where she knelt down honestly.
Xiao Jing and his party rushed back after a long journey. He thought he would see Nahua's familiar smile as soon as he entered the door, but unexpectedly he didn't even see her figure.
"Where's the madam?" he asked the housekeeper as he entered the house.
"Madam, you are kneeling in the ancestral hall!" the housekeeper replied truthfully.
"Why are you kneeling in the ancestral hall? What mistake did you make?" Xiao Jing stopped and looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper lowered his head, not daring to say anything, and looked at Xuanfeng again. Xuanfeng groaned for a long time before saying: "It's a big mistake anyway! I was besieged and threw rotten eggs this morning!"
"What? Who is so bold and dares to embarrass our wife!" Xiao Jing immediately became angry. He had only been away from home for a few days, but his wife was bullied at home.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go see Madam first!" Yun Xuan said hurriedly from the side. On the first day of Yuanchu, she was really kneeling. She was afraid that her knees would hurt after kneeling for a long time.
Xiao Jing felt that Yun Xuan was reminding him very much, so he immediately walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.
Lou Xingyun, Xuan Yue and the others surrounded Yun Xuan and Xuan Feng, asking them what happened.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestors of the Xiao family knelt down in front of their tombs, praying in their hearts that they would not blame her.
Xiao Jing hurried in and saw her kneeling there upright. When she heard the sound of him coming in, she turned to look at him with tears in her eyes. Seeing her pitiful look with tears in her eyes, Xiao Jing's heart skipped a beat. He went to the ancestor's memorial tablet and kowtowed three times respectfully before taking her up.
"What big mistake did you make? Did you attack the emperor or the ancestors?" He took her out of the ancestral hall and asked anxiously while wiping her tears.
"It's more serious than these!" Yuan Chuyi said with a sad face.
Xiao Jing held her in his arms tenderly, "It's okay, it's okay. Whatever happens, I'll take care of everything. Don't cry, don't cry!"
Yuan Chuyi fell into his arms and cried: "If I sell you to Beidi, what will you do?"
"What?" Xiao Jing screamed, holding her up in shock and staring at her, "You, what did you just say? Who did you sell me to?"
"King Huan of Beidi, Beidi!" he cried on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty.
Xiao Jing suddenly let go of the hand holding her, feeling a little at a loss. After a long time, he looked at her and asked in a low voice: "How much did it cost?"
"If I don't have any money, I will wait for you to come back and plan to trade you for the Phoenix Blood Vine at night!" Yuan Chuyi looked at him timidly, fearing that he would strangle him to death in anger.
But Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked nervously: "Are you guaranteed to get the Phoenix Blood Vine?"
"Ying, it should be possible!" Yuanchu replied in a low voice.
Xiao Jing breathed a long sigh of relief and hugged her into his arms, "As long as I can exchange for the antidote to keep you safe, I am willing to die even if the Beidi people let me die!"
Yuan Chuyi raised his head and looked at him with tears in his eyes. This time they were true tears, "I don't want you to die. If you die, what's the use of the Phoenix Blood Vine? I want you and the child to be safe." , our family wants to live happily together."
Xiao Jing hugged her tightly into his arms. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she leaned in his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. She nestled in his arms and asked carefully: "The whole court is scolding me, saying that I have brought disaster to the country and the people, and destroyed the foundation of the court. You, Don’t you blame me or scold me?”
"I said, no matter what you do, I will bear all the consequences!" Xiao Jing said, "This sentence is not just words!" But he didn't expect that she would make such a big deal this time, "You sold me out What are you doing for King Huan? Are you going to be his slave?"
When Yuanchu heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter and got out of his arms, "I didn't sell you alone! If I wanted to sell you, we would sell it together as a whole! How could I sell you to Beidi alone!"
"Oh?" Xiao Jing was surprised, "You sold our whole family?"
"No!" Yuan Chuyi said, taking out the bet document from his arms, "But if we lose, it will be the same as selling our whole family!"
Xiao Jing took the document and read it carefully, then looked at Yuan Chuyi, "When you made this bet, were you absolutely sure that you could win?"
Yuan Chuyi smiled arrogantly, "Of course, otherwise how could I easily bet on you!" She caressed Xiao Jing's handsome face, "If I wasn't sure, even if I died, I wouldn't bet on you. Go gamble!"
"You!" Xiao Jing bowed his head and kissed the red lips, lingeringly.
"Why do you think of using me as a bet?" Xiao Jing asked in confusion.
Yuanchu smiled and said, "At that time, King Huan said that if the emperor did not bet with him, he would take the Phoenix Blood Vine back to the country the next day. I was anxious. Seeing that the medicinal materials were almost available, how could I let him take them away again? I was so anxious. , I thought of you, you are my most precious treasure, and you are also very valuable to Beidi, so I made a bet with him on such a condition!"
"I'm so glad it still has some value to me from Beidi!" Xiao Jing said with a smile, "What are you going to do tonight? What kind of piano can you really play?"
"I studied all night last night and figured it out. Just wait and see tonight!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile.
Seeing that he was so confident, Xiao Jing nodded with confidence, "Okay."
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Go wash up and change your clothes. It's time to enter the palace soon!"
Xiao Jing hugged her and went back to the room.
"Did you see Xuan Yue and get the Dragon Heart Grass?" Yuan Chuyi suddenly remembered that Xuan Yue went to find them.
Xiao Jing patted his chest, "Don't worry, I've got it!"
After he got the dragon heart grass, he kept it close to his body and kept it personally to make sure it was safe.
