Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Chapter 154 The Owner of Huashuiyuefang

Yang Jianwu withdrew her hand, letting Mo Ye hold her.

Mo Ye inhaled deeply, afraid that one day he would forget... Was he unwilling? Probably! Did he regret it? What good would regret do? The moment he hesitated, the current situation was sealed!

After a while, Mo Ye finally let go of her hand, his previous dejected expression gone. He gently flicked Yang Jianwu's nose and said with a wry smile, "Have you been wanting to tell me this for a long time?"

Yang Jianwu stuck out her tongue. "It wasn't long, it was just one thing after another, and it just so happened that it didn't feel right."

"Will you be with Puyang Xuan?"

"Hmm?" Yang Jianwu shook her head like a rattle drum. "I don't want to. Being friends with him is fine, there's no pressure at all. But if we were lovers, I'd be at a huge disadvantage!"

"Hehe~ Does Puyang Xuan know what you're thinking?"

"He knows that this guy even wants me to marry him once before we get a divorce! Can you believe how outrageous that is!"

Mo Ye seemed to understand now why Xiao Wu'er felt no burden when she was with Pu Yangxuan. Pu Yangxuan always placed himself on the same level as Xiao Wu'er, and the two often joked and teased each other like close friends. In order to establish physical equality, he could even choose to let Xiao Wu'er be with someone else first... Mo Ye knew he couldn't do that...

"General Yang and Madam Yang will definitely find someone for you. What are you going to do?"

"Whatever! Rather than forcing myself to stay together and just going through the motions, I'd rather be carefree on my own!"

"makes sense……"

The two walked and talked, from personal feelings to social circles, and then to the state of Dongli. It was less of a chat and more of Yang Jianwu giving Mo Ye a lesson!

……

The Huashuiyuefang in the capital was very large, and its menu was the most comprehensive in the entire Dongli. Puyangxuan couldn't help but order a large table of dishes when he saw the exquisite dishes on the menu. When Yang Jianwu arrived, the last few dishes had just been brought into the room.

"Sword Dance, come and eat! See if this suits your taste!"

Yang Jianwu was also surprised when she saw the table full of food. "Ah Xuan, you're exaggerating! We can't possibly finish all of this..."

"Some of these are new products from Huashuiyuefang that you definitely haven't tried yet!"

Yang Jianwu looked at the maidservants setting out the dishes and decided to continue pretending not to know them...

Mo Ye knew the true master of Huashuiyuefang. Since Xiao Wu'er hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't bring it up himself. "Then thank you very much, Brother Puyang, for your generosity!"

"Don't be shy, everyone, eat more!"

Yang Jianwu stared at Puyang Xuan as if he were an idiot. "Ah Xuan, when you were at Huashuiyuefang, didn't you feel that I was very familiar with them?"

Puyang Xuan nodded as he served Yang Jianwu food. "I've heard that the owner of Huashuiyuefang is surnamed Jiang, and she's a woman. You and their mistress must be very close friends, otherwise the manager and Liangyan wouldn't treat you with such respect! So I thought, we've troubled them for so many days, and Hongyun doesn't know when she'll recover. Since we all need to eat, let's patronize their business!"

"That makes so much sense..."

"Try it quickly, the food is getting cold!"

"Oh……"

Yang Jianwu ate the food Pu Yangxuan had put on her plate, hesitating whether to tell him the truth. But if she told him the truth, she wouldn't earn any money. For the sake of that money, she pretended not to hear him...

After eating five different dishes, Yang Jianwu patted her round belly and exclaimed, "I'm so full!"

The maidservants served everyone tea to cleanse their palates. Mo Ye thought of the unfinished Baihao Yinzhen tea at Jubaozhai and felt a great pity. He wondered when he would be able to drink tea personally brewed by Xiao Wu'er again.

Puyang Xuan felt the same way, but he believed that opportunities had to be found. He kept pestering Jianwu every day, and he refused to believe that there would be no opportunity!

"Miss, Aunt Jiang is here!"

Liangyan led a beautiful woman into the private room. The woman was nearly forty years old, but she took good care of herself and, with the aura she had cultivated over many years of managing a business, looked to be only in her early thirties.

Puyang Xuan tapped and moved next to Yang Jianwu. "This must be Boss Jiang, right?"

Yang Jianwu nodded, "Yes, I'll call her Aunt Jiang!"

Mo Ye thought of the Ghost Doctor, and it wasn't surprising that Yang Jianwu could befriend people much older than herself.

After Jiang greeted everyone, Puyang Xuan took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Hello, Aunt Jiang, I'm Puyang Xuan, a friend of Jianwu. I'm sorry for causing you trouble these past few days at Huashuiyuefang! If Jianwu ever needs your help again, please take good care of her!"

Madam Jiang smiled faintly, "Young Master Puyang is too kind. Her affairs are my affairs, and I will do my best to fulfill any request she may have!"

Puyang Xuan marveled at Yang Jianwu's ability to make friends. She was a seasoned businessman who had to be careful to guess what people she was talking about. There were very few people like Jiang Shi!

"Sword Dance is so lucky to know Aunt Jiang!"

Jiang was somewhat flattered. "No, no, I'm just too lucky!" she said, and walked towards Yang Jianwu.

Puyang Xuan assumed the two would exchange pleasantries, so he returned to his seat to drink tea.

Jiang approached Yang Jianwu and respectfully performed a servant's greeting, saying, "Greetings to Miss!"

Someone spat out the tea they had just taken a sip of, "Cough cough... Sword Dance..."

Puyang Xuan was filled with indignation, finally understanding what Jianwu meant when she said, "He dies from talking too much!"
