The east neighbor's smile is effective, but it's just a joke on you.

  "Is that Tang Jinxiu?"

  The young man in white heard this and withdrew his gaze from An Yan, lightly sneering and saying: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but you're just a joke."

  Upon hearing this, the young man in red raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, saying: "Tsk, tsk, Ruan Jialang is indeed heartless. Tang Jinxiu almost died for you, yet in the end, she only got such a comment from you. Truly, a ruthless person!"

  Finally, the red-clothed man stretched out a finger and lightly poked it at the chest of the white-clothed man Ruan Yuqing in front of him.

  When the man in red lightly touched him, Ruan Yuqing felt a surge of discomfort in his heart, but his face remained as calm as spring breeze. His left hand was holding a fan at this moment, but it was at this time that he tapped on the finger placed on his chest, smiling warmly and elegantly: "Young Master Li, when did you start caring about a woman's feelings?"

  In Ruan Yuqing's eyes, Tang Jinxiu was a married woman who still entangled herself with him, which was simply shameless. He detested such women to the extreme, and even if she were to help him put on his shoes, he would think it dirty.

  But he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart, this Tang Jinxiu was really like a different person at first glance. So elegant and refined, she really had a few points of Xue Er's demeanor.

  How could such a woman be compared to the Snow in his heart? Snow, that was a sacred lotus flower, unparalleled and untainted. How could Tang Jin Xiu, this kind of shameless woman, be compared to her? Although Tang Jin Xiu had some beauty, she was arrogant and willful, full of cunning tricks. In the past at the Tang Manor, wasn't she relying on her status as the eldest miss of the Tang family to bully Snow who was weak but strong-willed in every way? Later, she even entangled herself with him, this kind of woman, he most despised and disdained.

  Such a despicable woman, even her own father abandoned her, it's all her own fault.

  At this moment, An Yan's simple and elegant dress had completely become a imitation of Xue Er's dress in Ruan Yuqing's eyes. So, at this moment, after glancing at An Yan, he immediately felt a sense of rejection and disgust in his heart.

  Li Yutong gazed at Ruan Yugeng's slightly furrowed brow and the undisguised disgust in his eyes, a hint of pleasure flashing across his heart. He withdrew his hand, lightly picked up a cup of tea from the table, and began to drink, while those slightly slanted, enchanting eyes, however, flashed with an eerie glow when looking at Ruan Yugeng.

  "Right, Father really likes Xue'er and wants to adopt her as a daughter. At that time, when the three major merchant families of Qingcheng, Ruan, Li, and Tang unite, won't the entire Qingcheng be ours?"

  Li Yutong's enchanting eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, but that hint of mockery quietly lurked deep within her eyes, and Ruan Yugeng didn't notice.

  Ruan Yuqing's eyebrows and eyes showed a happy expression, and she smiled and said: "It's rare for Uncle Li to like Xue'er so much, I'm also happy for Xue'er."

  Although Xue Er is now the legitimate daughter of the Tang family, the fact that she was once a concubine's daughter cannot be erased. With this mark, Xue Er has been subject to some criticism in Qingcheng's high society. Now, Xue Er has gained the trust of the Li family. The Li family is the first family in Qingcheng, and not only did they produce an imperial concubine, but also a top scholar, their status and influence are immeasurable. With this relationship, Xue Er's identity immediately increased exponentially. His union with Xue Er will also become even more perfect. As if thinking of that happiest moment, Ruan Yuqing's face showed a warm and gentle smile. The tender feelings at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, however, made Li Yutong's eyes narrow slightly, revealing a hint of danger and coldness. Li Yutong's hand holding the teacup slowly tightened, but her expression remained unchanged.

  "By the way, what brings you to Hsinchu County this time?"

  Li Yutong seemed unable to continue looking at Ruan Yugeng's gentle face, and skillfully changed the subject.

  Ruan Yuqing's expression became slightly solemn, and he said in a warm voice: "Recently, Ruan's wine industry has encountered some problems, while Hsinchu County has always had an advantage in the wine industry. Therefore, I came this time to investigate and see if we can find a way to revive Ruan's wine industry."

  "Is this a place for humans? I think you're overestimating this small county town. What famous wine can such a small county produce?"

  Li Yutong's eyes were filled with disdain, and he really couldn't think of what famous wine in this humble Xinzhu County was worth Ruan Yuke coming to find personally.

  "It's hard to say, but I already have some ideas."

  Ruan Yuqing's eyebrows and eyes slightly raised, with a flash of sharp light in her pupils.

  "Do you think the Bamboo Leaf Green incident will happen again? Even if it does, it's likely to happen in Nanguan. The Silver Family of Nanguan is still the leader of Qin's wine industry, and no one can surpass them. Even the White Family, which was once famous for Bamboo Leaf Green, has now become a second-rate family in Nanguan."

  Ruan Yuqing was used to it, knowing that his friend had always been somewhat cynical. So, he just smiled and said: "I heard that the new Bamboo County's Bamboo Leaf Green wine is quite good. In the next few days, you can try it properly. Who knows, maybe another Bai Xian will emerge here, and Bamboo Leaf Green will make a big name for itself again."

  Although it's said that, because of the leakage of the secret recipe for Bamboo Leaf Green many years ago, Bamboo Leaf Green liquor is no longer a secret and can be found all over the country. However, the one from Hsinchu County is particularly famous, because the bamboo here grows slightly better. Ruan Yuqing says this, but it's actually because there have been rumors recently that a new Bamboo Leaf Green has come out of Hsinchu County, and its flavor is indeed new. And today, coming back to Mingyue Tavern, he also wants to give it a try. "Bamboo Leaf Green..."

  Li Yutong muttered the three words "Zhu Ye Qing" to herself, her heart thinking of something unknown, and a cold emotion flowed out from between her eyebrows. Ruan Yuqing didn't notice Li Yutong's change in expression, but he was actually thinking about discussing Zhu Ye Qing with the owner of Mingyue Wine House later. Perhaps this Zhu Ye Qing really had its unique aspects, and he could also gain benefits from it. The two people's different expressions were reflected in the green wine liquid, subtly revealing a different kind of meaning.
