Chapter 2396 Bring a Message 59.0
When Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao slowly walked to the vicinity of the flower hall, they happened to see Shen Cha coming out of the flower hall and calling the servants to prepare dinner for Xia Chen.

"Remember to tell Mr. Mo not to eat so much greasy food. Forget about the big fish and meat. It's already late, and eating these will easily cause indigestion."

"Yes, just keep it light."

"Yes, there could be more varieties, but the portions shouldn't be too large, and it would be better if there were some soups."

"Yes, I've made a note of it."

"The most important thing is, no matter what it is, don't add coriander, onions, or spicy flavors. Just a little bit of salt will do. Also, don't add any dried shrimps or dried shrimps, which are from the sea. Although they are fresh, people probably have already gotten tired of them. By the way, we can put a few slices of the ham we brought from Second Master last time in to enhance the flavor."

"Yes, General."

When the servant saw that Shen Cha stopped talking after saying these, he thought that he had finished giving orders, so he bowed and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry!" Shen Cha stopped the servant who was about to leave, "Send someone to ask Lao Tang if there are any braised dishes left today. If so, buy some more duck tongues, chicken feet, etc."

"Yes, General."

"Go for it!"

There was absolutely nothing to order this time, so the servant bowed and withdrew. According to Shen Cha's instructions, he went to the kitchen to see Mr. Mo and asked someone to buy braised food from Lao Tang.

After the servants left, Xue Ruitiancai, Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao walked out from the shadows, went to Shen Cha, who had already noticed their presence, and chuckled at her.

"What are you laughing at, Brother Xiaotian?"

"After listening to your instructions just now, I can confirm who came." Xue Ruitian looked in the direction of the flower hall, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "He really got out. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother didn't stop him. It's quite strange."

"We didn't stop him because we asked for help. After all, this is a big deal. Only he has lived on the sea for so long and is familiar with the islands on the sea. He can really help us."

"That's true." Xue Ruitian nodded, "But once they are released, they will most likely not come back, right?"

"He will definitely stay for a while. It will be helpful for us if he stays longer." Shen Cha smiled and looked around. "Where are Xiao Ye and Xiao Linzi?"

"There's something going on in the dungeon. I'll ask them to go over and take a look." Seeing Shen Cha's worried expression, Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "It's not Yanyou, it's those shopkeepers we caught before, they're making trouble again."

"What are you making such a fuss about? Or do you feel wronged? Did we catch the wrong person?"

"You're right. That's what they're yelling about. Second brother doesn't have time to take care of them. After all, Yanyou's situation is our focus. So, I'll let Xiao Ye and Xiao Linzi go and take a look. These two are very good at dealing with scoundrels."

"The fact that they are making such a fuss shows that they are very guilty and definitely have something to hide." Jin Miaomiao hugged Shen Cha's arm, yawned, and said, "Otherwise, they would definitely be quiet. After all, the innocent are innocent. They are doing this now because they are worried that some of them might not be able to bear it and tell us something, thus revealing their secrets. That's why they are making such a fuss, hoping to use this momentum to force us to let them go."

"Then they are just daydreaming. It is absolutely impossible for them to leave." Jin Jing raised an eyebrow. "We can let Yanyou go because his departure is useful to us and beneficial to us. As for them, just stay in there honestly! Also, Yanyou is targeting us. It can be said that we have different positions, but they are native Daxia people. Their ancestors, at least three generations, have been Daxia people. If they still work for the Qinglian Sect, it would be adding crime to crime."

"That's what I mean." Shen Cha nodded. She was about to say something when she saw Xue Ruitian suddenly smile behind her, then rush past her. She sighed softly, pulled Jin Miaomiao and turned around.

When she turned around, she saw Xia Chen and Xue Ruitian hugging each other. Shen Haolin was standing on the steps, looking at them with a faint smile on his face.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I should call the brothers as well. Little Jiujiu hasn't seen his brothers for a long time."

"Don't worry." Xia Chen waved towards Shen Cha, "It's too late today. It won't be too late to see you tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Cha nodded and pushed Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao in front of Xia Chen. "Seventh brother, this is Xiao Jing, and this is Miaomiao."

"Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I still remember you." Xia Chen nodded at the two of them. "Haolin and I saw that you were taking a long time to come in, so we wanted to come out to see what you were doing. In the end, we saw you standing outside talking. What's the important matter that you can't wait until you get inside to talk about it?"

"Nothing, I just asked someone to prepare dinner for Brother Seven." Shen Cha smiled, climbed the stairs, and walked to Shen Haolin's side, "Let's go in and talk!"

Shen Haolin waved to Xia Chen, took Shen Cha, and they all entered the flower hall together.

The servants had already prepared hot tea and snacks. Jin Miaomiao and Shen Cha poured hot tea for everyone before sitting down.

"Seventh brother, why didn't you bring any followers with you when you came to the border?" Shen Cha took a sip of tea and looked at Xia Chen, "Where is your luggage?"

"I've brought them all, they're all behind me!" Xia Chen smiled, "They're not as fast as me, and I'm anxious to see you, so I came a step ahead. They should be here tomorrow at noon or afternoon."

"Okay, arrange for someone to wait for them." Shen Cha nodded, "This is the situation now. The Marquis' Mansion is not convenient for you, Seventh Brother, to live in. You can only live in the Duke's Mansion."

"I won't live with you, nor with the Marquis' Mansion. I'm going to live with Second Grandpa."

"Live in a teahouse?" Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "No, you..."

"I know what you're thinking. I won't run away. I just told Xiaocha and Haolin that we must see what the person behind this looks like and we won't run away easily." Xia Chen smiled, "Of course, I won't go today. I have to stay at the Duke's Mansion."

"That's good. If you run away, we won't be able to explain to His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Don't worry, there are things I want to see here. Even if you chase me away, I won't leave." Xia Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian. "I heard that Miao Miao's uncle and the kid from the Xiao family live in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Hey, Old Seven, you're really well-informed!" Xue Ruitian looked at him with a half-smile, "Where did you get the news?"

"I can tell the fortunes!"

"Really?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows. "Since you are so good at fortune-telling, why don't you calculate whether you will be beaten?" As he said, he threw a cushion at Xia Chen, "Tell the truth!"

"I met Xiaoyun, and he told me!"
