Chapter 3990: 4.1590 Challenging Them?

Qiaomu and Mo Lian had been staying in the academy in quiet seclusion during this period, not seeing anyone.

Only just before leaving the academy did they speak with Yun Cong and Yun Piaomiao.

When discussing the matter of saving Murong Xun, Qiaomu naturally wished to handle it entirely herself.

Yun Cong, deeply distraught, naturally couldn't stop the young girl.

He only said, "Tell me whatever you need," before sadly leaving Donglin Garden.

Although the young girl hadn't uttered a single word of blame from beginning to end, he couldn't overcome the self-reproach in his heart.

There was a way to help him recover from this blow.

As long as Murong Xun awakened, the knots in their hearts would naturally completely dissipate.

"I will definitely save Master," Qiaomu secretly vowed in her heart.

Twenty days later, Qiaomu and Mo Lian leisurely returned to Longyan City. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Caidie Xuan, they noticed that, at some unknown point, a Lin Family Restaurant had opened right across the street.

Qiaomu called out to Shopkeeper Hu, who immediately scurried out, beaming. "Crown Prince, Crown Princess have arrived! Quickly, please come in."

Qiaomu saw that her Caidie Xuan was still packed with guests. Seeing them all stand to greet her, she waved her hand. "No need for formalities, please sit down and continue eating."

Everyone hastily thanked her and then sat down with smiles.

Qiaomu and Mo Lian didn't disturb them, following Shopkeeper Hu to a private room on the second floor.

As they walked, Qiaomu specifically checked several private rooms on their second floor.

Seeing that the rooms were already occupied by guests, with not a single one empty, indicated that business was still very robust.

At this point, it was actually past the usual mealtime. To have such good business was something other establishments couldn't compare to.

Qiaomu sat down, leaned closer to the Crown Prince, who was fanning himself, and enjoyed the cool breeze.

She then asked with a curious expression, "Old Hu, a Lin Family Restaurant opened across the street. It wouldn't be that Lin family, would it?"

Was the name chosen so casually?

Old Hu was busily attending to the two, urging the staff to quickly serve some of their signature dishes.

Hearing her question, he couldn't help but get angry, rolling his eyes. "Who else could it be? Isn't it that Lin family from Rongcheng? Heh heh! They've been challenging our Caidie Xuan for seven days now."

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Hu was seething. "They have daily special promotions and go around the streets pulling people in. And look, they even found a few very handsome young men from Spring Full House to flirt with those aunties and grandmas! They've lured everyone inside!"

Mo Lian: ...

Looking at Old Hu's seething anger, he must have been stewing for more than just a day or two.

"But I just looked, and our shop's business is still good."

"That's right!" Old Hu's face filled with pride and joy when he spoke of this. "Can any other place offer the dishes and the sacred rice of our Caidie Xuan? Even if they bring a few naked people to lie at their doorstep, hmph, they might not be able to compete with us!"

Old Hu spoke smoothly, but then he noticed the Crown Prince casting a faint glance at him. He quickly raised his hand and patted his mouth, chuckling. "This old servant misspoke."

How could he say such crude things in front of the little Crown Princess? No wonder the Crown Prince glared at him.

As they spoke, they heard the sound of gongs and drums from the building opposite.

The little Crown Princess excitedly leaned out the window to look.

"Huh, that 'scenery' standing across the street looks a bit familiar, doesn't it?"
