Manager Song was startled.
Manager Song would have turned that down if the question had come from someone else, but this was the Elder Prince of the Feather Mulberry Land and if he wanted to sell the dish in the Feather Mulberry Land, then it would be a matter of business instead.
However, Manager Song did not dare to nod at this question directly.
Instead, he thought for a while and said seriously, “Elder Miss owns this restaurant, so if you would like to have some discussion about business, you will have to speak with Elder Miss instead.”
Prince Muyi was very excited. He was here for Lady Chaoyan! So that was such a coincidence.
“Can I see your Elder Miss?” Prince Muyi asked happily.
“Yes, but it is getting late today, I will take you there tomorrow,” Manager Song said politely.
Prince Muyi nodded.
One more day of waiting was fine. Then he could make use of the time and think about how to carry out this plan, but the most important thing right now was to finish the food.
He was in such a good mood that Prince Muyi asked his guards to have a taste of this dish too.

It was only late at night that the group left.

The following day…
It snowed early in the morning.
Qing added one more fire basin in the room, fearing that Gu Chaoyan would feel cold.
Gu Chaoyan did feel very cold. She was wearing a fox-fur coat as she was seated on the chair. With hot tea in her hands, she did not even feel like reading.
Sword One threw a look outside and said emotionally, “I am afraid there will be a lot of snow from today on.”
Gu Chaoyan shivered, feeling even colder after hearing this.
“Elder Miss, what about spending the winter in the south next year. It is warmer there!” Sword One suggested in an expectant tone. Sword One liked the south very much.
Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan found it was a great idea. She did not have to stay in the capital.
She was about to discuss something about the South with Sword One when Xiu Jie knocked at the door. “Elder Miss, Manager Song brought the Elder Prince of the Feather Mulberry Land here. They want to speak with you about something, Manager Song wonders if you will meet him or not?”
That Prince from the Fan Nation? What was he doing here?
However, if Manager Song was bringing him here personally, then he must be up to something important.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while. “Please ask them in. It is cold in the lobby, so we can meet here instead.”
Xiu Jie nodded and disappeared. He was bringing the guests in.
Soon Xiu Jie came in with the guests.
Manager Song was familiar with the paths here. He had to make regular reports to Lady Chaoyan regarding the Yellow Crane so he knew the mansion well.
Prince Muyi, on the other hand, was nervous. He had not even noticed what the mansion was like – he was too nervous.
Lady Chaoyan was still like before – she was dressed in a white blouse and wearing a white fox-fur coat. She was huddled inside, looking as if she was suffering from the cold.
He was sizing up Lady Chaoyan, who did not quite notice him.
Instead, she looked at Xiu Jie and said, “Xiu Jie, you can stay and listen to our talks. You need to help me run errands, not work as a housekeeper in the mansion.”
Moved, Xiu Jie took a seat.
Gu Chaoyan turned to Manager Song. “Anything you need to tell me?”
