Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

217 Information

The waiter put down the teapot in his hand and hurriedly ran towards the group. “I’m sorry! Please come in!”

The tall and strong maidservant looked at the waiter with disdain. “Prepare a private room with a good view for our lady!”

The waiter looked at them awkwardly. “I’m really sorry, but the private room has just been filled. Do you think…”

“What do you mean?! Do you want our lady to sit in the hall with these irrelevant people?” the maidservant asked angrily, as if she looked down on everyone in the hall.

The maidservant’s words clearly angered the people in the hall. Some people were already pointing at the maidservant, and some people with fiery tempers immediately jumped up. Fortunately, they were appeased by their companions.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, the waiter immediately bowed and apologized to the crowd while trying his best to suppress the guests’ anger.

A young lady in a light yellow dress standing behind the maidservant coughed lightly, indicating for the maidservant to stop attracting attention.

The maidservant immediately took half a step back and stood beside the young lady, but she still looked at the waiter with disdain.

The waiter cursed her inwardly, but he still smiled at them on the surface. “There’s really no more private rooms in this small shop. Why don’t…”

The lady in the light yellow dress smiled at the waiter. “There’s no need. Just arrange a clean seat.”

The waiter looked relieved and immediately led the way for them.

The other lady in the orange dress looked dissatisfied. Although she didn’t say anything, one could tell that she was unhappy.

When the two of them passed by Kong Rui, Kong Rui suddenly frowned.

She glanced at the woman in the yellow dress, as if surprised, but then she quickly recovered.

The servant standing at the side seemed to have noticed Kong Rui’s abnormality and hurriedly asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

Kong Rui shook her head without saying anything. However, as the group walked away, she looked at the woman in the light yellow dress again.

There was a familiar smell on the woman’s body, similar to the smell she had smelled in the Li family’s ancestral hall that day.

Kong Rui wasn’t sure, so she could only wait and see.

After the group sat down, the crowd returned to their original lively state.

Kong Rui listened to the conversation of the people around her. The content was that the Li family had brought back a mother and son who were allegedly the mistress and illegitimate child of the second elder of the Li family.

Not long after the mother and son entered the Li family’s residence, the queen sent a team of guards to summon the mother and son into the palace.

The Li family’s patriarch didn’t want to let them go, but he couldn’t go against the queen openly, so he followed them into the palace.

After that, the palace guards didn’t leave the Li family’s residence. Instead, they surrounded it.

Although they didn’t restrict the entry and exit of the Li family’s residence, they still guarded it strictly.

No wonder when Kong Rui saw Li Han just now, she covered her face with a veil.

If not for the fact that she could vaguely see Li Han’s face and Xiao Cui beside her, Kong Rui wouldn’t have been sure that it was Li Han.

Li Han’s entry into Tianxiang Restaurant didn’t attract much attention and she seemed to be deliberately avoiding everyone’s prying eyes. Otherwise, with Li Han’s personality, she probably would have been even more boisterous than the maidservant.

Kong Rui couldn’t help but wonder who was waiting for Li Han in the private room.

The servant bowed and whispered into Kong Rui’s ear, “Miss, that maidservant was so arrogant just now. Do they have some sort of prominent background?”

As soon as the servant finished speaking, two young men in gray robes appeared at the entrance of the teahouse.

The two of them were dressed similarly. Although the gray gown wasn’t eye-catching, the material used was high-grade.

One of the men had a jade pendant that was completely white at his waist and there seemed to be a totem engraved on it. The other man had a black jade flute at his waist. The flute was engraved with totems, which seemed to be the same as those of the jade pendant.

Kong Rui sized up the two of them. Their clothes were similar and they had the same totem, so they must be young masters of some unknown family.
