"Is this true?" The people who were listening were shocked. "Doctor Nalan is the chief physician of our Jinling State. He has always kept to himself and the Zhu family. Why would Mr. Zhu come to provoke me?"
"Haha, it is said that two days ago, the young master of the Zhu family was stripped naked and tied to the pillar of the hall of his own courtyard. In the early morning, a peddler passed by and opened the door, and saw the young master Zhu's naked body. He screamed in fear, and attracted a large group of onlookers. The Zhu family has lost all face."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Just thinking about the scene made them unable to stop laughing.
However, they were still puzzled, "But what does Young Master Zhu's embarrassment have to do with the Nalan Mansion?"
The person who broke the news earlier smiled mysteriously, then lowered his voice and said, "We have to tell you who gave Young Master Zhu, who always acted arrogantly in Yanjing City, a lesson. I told you, you must keep it a secret... It is said that the person was Nalan Feixue, the second lady of the Nalan Mansion."
"Ah! No way?" Everyone was shocked and asked, "You must have made a mistake. We heard that the two young ladies of the Nalan Mansion are both chaste, beautiful, and talented. How... How could they do such a shocking thing? Or maybe someone did it and put the blame on the second young lady of Nalan Mansion?"
The person who broke the news was suspected and immediately looked unhappy. He snorted, "What do you mean by framing me? If the Zhu family hadn't found solid evidence, why would they come to our house with such fanfare? Do you really think that the name of Dr. Nalan is just for show?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and chuckled, "If you ask me, it must be that Young Master Zhu can't change his lustful habits. When he saw Second Miss Nalan... Who would have thought that he would be severely punished by Second Miss Nalan instead."
"But... but Miss Nalan is an unmarried woman. No matter how outgoing and bold she is, how could she do such a shameless thing as stripping a man naked? No wonder the Zhu family came to her house so early."
Although the gossip around him was still going on, He Xi stopped using his internal energy to eavesdrop and began to taste the food that the waiter brought to him in a very good mood.
The snacks in front of him were fragrant and colorful. Hexi suddenly felt hungry, but as soon as the food entered his mouth, he could not help but frowning.
The taste of these spiritual foods was not really delicious, and could even be said to be bland. What disappointed her most was that due to cooking, more than 30% of the spiritual energy originally contained in the food was lost.
He Xi only took a few bites of each dish and put down his bowl and chopsticks in disappointment.
In her previous life, she had taken on a long-term mission. The target of that mission was extremely fond of food. In order to get close to him and obtain information from him, He Xi practiced cooking skills for several years and finally satisfied the target of the mission.
After the mission was over, He Xi found that the food in ordinary restaurants tasted bland to her, because her cooking skills had already reached the level of a top gourmet, which means that she had spoiled her appetite.
In this world, because of the survival law of the fittest, everyone's goal is to practice and become stronger. Eating spiritual food is just to replenish spiritual power. No one cares about the desire for food at all, so that the quality of food here is far inferior to that of her original world.
However, the people here don't care about the taste of the food, but He Xi doesn't want to make do with it. She has decided to go back and buy more ingredients, so that she can cook by herself and have enough food and clothing. As for these meals, they will be left for Dandan as spiritual food.
He Xi smiled slightly, collected the remaining food on the table, stood up and left Zuixianlou. (To be continued)
