Chapter 895: Chapter 895: Bring a Table of Top-Class Banquet (2nd Update) Chapter 895: Chapter 895: Bring a Table of Top-Class Banquet (2nd Update) This inn was a typical storehouse structure.

The front house along the street served as a restaurant for passersby to dine and rest, while the back house featured guest rooms for lodging.

Although it wasn’t very large, it was kept very clean and tidy. Additionally, being located on the main street of the town, it did quite a good business.

It was noon at the moment, and waves of delicious food aromas wafted from the front restaurant, tantalizing to anyone.

At least Xue An had caught Chan’er secretly swallowing her saliva more than once.

Having endured hunger for so long had made the young girl unbearable with hunger.

Thus, the scent of food lingering in the air was simply a torment for her.

But out of fear of being sold, Chan’er said tremulously, “Young Proprietor, let’s not go, we still have half a cornbread, right? You eat the bread, and I’ll just drink more water!”

Xue An stopped in his tracks and turned to look silently at the young girl.

Under Xue An’s gaze, Chan’er appeared very uneasy, lowering her head and fiddling with the corner of her dress.

“Chan’er, you really disappoint me!”

Ye Xiaochan shuddered, “Young Proprietor….”

Xue An shook his head, “You mean to say you don’t listen to me anymore?”

Ye Xiaochan hurriedly shook her head, “No, how could I not listen to the Young Proprietor’s words, but….”

“There’s no buts. Since I, the Young Proprietor, said we are going to have a feast, then that’s exactly what we shall do. Follow me!”

Xue An said indifferently, then walked confidently towards the front restaurant.

As Ye Xiaochan watched Xue An’s retreating figure, she felt that the Young Proprietor, having recovered from a severe illness, seemed a bit strange, even the tone of his speech had become much more domineering.

But the Young Proprietor was right. I am his servant, and I naturally should obey his words, even if he really wants to sell me, I have to comply, and if it comes to it… I’ll just end it all after!

Yes, that’s it!

Ye Xiaochan thought wildly, decisively making up her mind, and then followed step by step behind Xue An into the restaurant.

The restaurant wasn’t too large, but it was doing very well; the hall was filled with customers.

The waitstaff bustled back and forth, serving dishes and pouring drinks, a scene of busyness.

“What would you like…” a waiter began to greet them, but when he saw it was Xue An, he stopped himself.

Now, within the entire inn, who didn’t know of this unlucky scholar who had fallen ill as soon as he entered the inn?

Such a guest, who couldn’t even pay the inn charges, what could he possibly order?

Thus, the waiter somewhat disdainfully turned to leave.

Just then, Xue An said indifferently, “Bring us a private booth, and a table of the best feast you can prepare!”

The waiter was stunned.

Had he heard wrong?

This poor scholar was actually asking for the best feast?

“You…”

“Didn’t you hear? Go prepare it!” Xue An said without brooking any argument.

Perhaps intimidated by Xue An’s demeanor, the waiter meekly led Xue An to a private booth, then turned and left.

But as he was about to head to the kitchen, he suddenly came to his senses.

No, how could such a poor scholar afford any feast?

If he really brought him the order, and he couldn’t pay afterward, wouldn’t the Shopkeeper blame it all on me?

No, I must tell the Shopkeeper about this.

The waiter thought to himself, about to turn and leave.

Just at that moment, a girl in plain clothes, though plain in looks yet quite attractive, happened to pass by and seeing the waiter standing there, couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s wrong?”

The attendant, upon seeing the woman, hurriedly said, “Sister Yue, here is what happened: the scholar who fell ill upon arriving at our inn suddenly recovered and, bringing his maid here, insisted on having a fine banquet. I was just about to inform the Shopkeeper!”

Upon hearing this, the girl’s expression turned cold, and her brows furrowed tightly, “Alright, I’ll see to it myself! Let’s not alarm my father about this for now!”

“Yes!” The attendant naturally didn’t dare to say anything else.

For this girl was none other than the daughter of Yang Zelin, the Shopkeeper of the inn, Yang Yue.

As the Young Proprietor, Yang Yue’s attitude toward others was starkly different from that of her father.

At least she wasn’t as stingy and greedy as her father.

Therefore, all the staff in the inn both respected her greatly.

Yang Yue arrived in front of the private booth.

Speaking of a private booth, it was actually just a space partitioned off by curtains.

Yang Yue took a deep breath and lifted the curtain to enter.

The first people she saw were Xue An sitting there drinking tea and Ye Xiaochan standing beside him.

Seeing Xue An, Yang Yue’s eyes filled with disdain, and she turned her head away, calling softly, “Chan’er!”

Ye Xiaochan, who had been lost in thought, looked up on hearing her name and smiled brightly on seeing Yang Yue.

“Sister Yue!”

Looking at Ye Xiaochan, whose chin had grown noticeably thinner, Yang Yue was filled with heartache.

She had always felt deep sympathy and pity for this girl, who was about the same age as herself but had suffered much more in life.

Since the time Xue An fell ill right after settling in, it had been Ye Xiaochan alone who hustled to prepare concoctions and medicine.

If that were all, it might have been bearable.

But soon, Xue An’s illness had exhausted all their funds.

Even then, the young maid did not give up; she tried everything to cure her master.

Eventually, she pawned everything she could, to the point where she couldn’t even afford meals.

All these circumstances were observed by Yang Yue, who admired and sympathized with her, thus began to secretly aid the young maid.

For instance, when no one was watching, she would bring food to Ye Xiaochan’s room or help her purchase medicine, and so on.

For all this, Ye Xiaochan was immensely grateful.

But soon,

all this became known to Yang Yue’s father, the greedy and stingy Shopkeeper Yang Zelin.

He was furious and issued a strict order.

He forbade Yang Yue from offering even the slightest help to Ye Xiaochan.

At that time, Yang Yue didn’t quite understand.

It was only a meal, why was her father so furiously upset?

But as it was her father’s command, she dared not defy him and could only watch everything helplessly.

Following that, Shopkeeper Yang Zelin started to target the servant and master, isolating Ye Xiaochan completely.

However, Ye Xiaochan resiliently persevered, tirelessly caring for Xue An day and night.

Yang Yue was naturally aware of all this.

So when she heard that Xue An had woken up, her heart was initially relieved, and she felt happy for Ye Xiaochan.

But soon, she learned from her father,

that Xue An, having just awakened, had actually wagered that he would settle all their meal and lodging bills by sunrise the next day; if he failed, he would lose Ye Xiaochan to the inn.

At that moment, Yang Zelin was smug.

But upon hearing these words, Yang Yue felt as though she had fallen into an ice pit and then became furiously angry.
