After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 125 Counterproductive

After Wan Weiran told Lin Ting about his idea, Lin Ting agreed.

After leaving Wanhetang, Ye Xiaoman really had a kind of admiration for Lin Ting. This time she used Lin Ting to go to Minzhou, but if she wanted Yuzhu, she would help her.

"Miss Ye, the time for your appointment with Master Qu is almost up. I'll take you to the Tea House."

After getting on the carriage, Ye Xiaoman sat close to Lin Ting, lifted her face with her hands, and sighed.

"Mrs. Lin, have you ever been to the Tea Talk House? Do you know what the most expensive teas and snacks there are?"

Ye Xiaoman was still thinking about what method she should use to make Qu Yuanxun afraid of her.

She is a lady from a wealthy family. Qu Yuanxun likes simplicity, so it is normal for her to be a little extravagant.

After all, her family has plenty of money, and she has been generous with money since she was a child.

She couldn't persuade her mother, so she asked Qu Yuanxun to say that he looked down on her. Wouldn't that ruin their relationship?

Ye Xiaoman thought this was a good idea.

“The tea and snacks at the Tea Talk House are quite popular in Wenzhu County, but Miss Ye helped me, so I won’t charge you and Master Qu for anything you want to drink today.”

Ye Xiaoman sat up straight and listened to Lin Ting's words. Could it be that she opened the Tea House?

"Mrs. Lin, you opened the Tea House?"

Lin Ting nodded: "My sister and I opened this business to make a living."

At noon, Ye Xiaoman's mother tried to inquire about Lin Ting's identity. She should be a woman from a small village.

But judging from the way she was dressed, she didn't look like someone from the village at all, and she was the teacher of the owner of Wanhetang.

After a while, she became the owner of Chayulou. Ye Xiaoman felt that there was a story behind her.

"Mrs. Lin, what does your husband's family do?"

Lin Ting: "Farming, planting!"

Lin Ting's answer was simple and rough, and Ye Xiaoman also knew that it was not good to keep asking about other people's family affairs.

But Lin Ting was from Madam Qu's side, so she couldn't tell Lin Ting that she wanted to ruin her relationship with Qu Yuanxun.

After entering the Tea House and explaining their purpose, Xiaofu knew to take Ye Xiaoman to see Qu Yuanxun.

It was naturally impossible for Lin Ting to go with others to see each other.

She went off to do her own thing.

Qu Yuanxun arrived early, and because of his special status, Lin Lin arranged a private room for him.

This private room is the most elegant in the entire Tea House. Not only does it have paintings drawn by Shen Qingzhou himself, but you can also see the scenery outside by the window.

"What would you like to drink, Master Qu?"

Qu Yuanxun's eyes were a little evasive. He came here to meet Ye Xiaoman. For some reason, he felt a little flustered when he met Lin Lin.

"Let's talk about it later."

"it is good!"

Lin Lin stepped back, and when she walked out of the private room again, she happened to meet Ye Xiaoman who was brought in by Xiaofu.

This collision made Qu Yuanxun stand up from his chair, and his heart skipped a beat.

It was obvious that there was nothing going on between him and Lin Lin, but when Lin Lin saw him looking at another woman, Qu Yuanxun instinctively didn't want her to find out.

"Master Qu, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Lin Lin turned around and glanced at the two people in the private room. It was obvious that Qu Yuanxun couldn't look at them freely at this time with her, an acquaintance, around.

Lin Lin instructed Xiaofu to take good care of the people inside. Maybe this person would be the wife of the magistrate of Wenzhu County in the future, and they couldn't afford to offend her.

Seeing Lin Lin walk away nonchalantly, Qu Yuanxun nodded to Ye Xiaoman and sat down again.

Ye Xiaoman saw every move of Qu Yuanxun, and it was Xiaofu's entry that broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Master Qu, Miss, would you like something to drink?"

Qu Yuanxun raised his hand and motioned Ye Xiaoman to order.

Ye Xiaoman didn't even look at the price and spoke directly to Xiaofu.

"I only eat the most expensive food and drink the most expensive drinks."

The most expensive tea is not worth a few silver coins for a family like Ye Xiaoman.

But doing so can leave a bad impression on people.

"OK, just a second!"

Xiaofu left, leaving only the two of them. The most frightening thing about the entire private room was the sudden silence in the air.

In the end, it was Qu Yuanxun who spoke first.

"Miss Ye has grown up. The last time we met, you were still a child. It seems that I have grown old now."

Qu Yuanxun meant something. He was ten years older than Ye Xiaoman, so she could find someone better.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoman smiled and tilted her head. She was originally worried that Qu Yuanxun would fall in love with her, but after coming to Chayu Building, she no longer had to worry about this problem.

"Master Qu, I heard that you've been alone for seven or eight years. Was it because Old Madam Qu forced you to come see me this time?"

Qu Yuanxun didn't say anything, but that was the fact.

“I was also forced to do this because you are the county magistrate and have a great chance of promotion. The Ye family wants to have a marriage alliance with the Qu family.”

After hearing Ye Xiaoman's direct words, the awkward atmosphere in the private room gradually faded away, and Qu Yuanxun also relaxed a lot.

"So what does Miss Ye mean?"

Ye Xiaoman has someone in her heart, but isn’t Qu Yuanxun the same?

"Master Qu, you were quite nervous when you saw me. Were you afraid that the lady just now might have misunderstood you?"

Qu Yuanxun looked like someone had caught his tail. It was ridiculous. To him, Lin Lin was the same as Wan Weiran and the others.

"Ms. Ye, please be careful with your words. The person just now was Madam Lin's sister. We just knew each other and are just friends."

"is it?"

"Yes!"

Qu Yuanxun answered with extraordinary firmness. There was nothing wrong between him and Lin Lin. They just helped each other.

No matter what Qu Yuanxun said, Ye Xiaoman was determined that she was not wrong.

You can't hide your love for someone's eyes. Ye Xiaoman knows this very well because she is the one who gives but doesn't get a response.

When I see someone I like, my eyes always look towards him/her unconsciously.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. This is not the issue you and I are discussing now, Mr. Qu. Since both of us are arranged by our family elders.

Don't bother with polite words or scheming. Why don't you just reject Madam Qu and tell her that you don't like me?"

At this time, Xiaofu and others brought in tea and snacks and said to the two of them.

"Master Qu, Miss Ye, this tea was offered by our Madam Lin. Madam Lin said that if Miss Ye wants to try anything else, she can order it."

Ye Xiaoman nodded, she understood Lin Ting's kindness.

After serving the tea and snacks, Xiaofu and the staff of Chayulou left again.

Qu Yuanxun also wanted to tell his mother that it was impossible for him and Ye Xiaoman to be together.

In his eyes and memory, Ye Xiaoman was just like his sister, and he was afraid that she would disappoint the expectations of both families.

"Ms. Ye, you and I have the same idea, but if we could go against our family's arrangements, we wouldn't be meeting here.

My mother is in poor health, and Madam Lin has repeatedly warned me not to get angry. If I go and tell her I don't like you, it will definitely backfire."

Ye Xiaoman was also very upset. Marrying Qu Yuanxun was the future direction that the Ye family could rely on.

But she already has someone in her heart, and this is not the only path the Ye family can take.

"What do you want to do, Master Qu? I don't want to marry you."
