Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

Zhang Fumin smiled looking at Yuan, and introduced him to her "He is Yuan..."

Only then did Ning Xia realise something and thought in her mind 'Maybe... he is Young Lady's m-man? She got a lover in these past three months?'

'Then I have to show my respect to him.'

She humbly bowed her head and spoked "Young Lord. My name is Ning Xia... I am the maid of Young Lady."

Yuan glanced at Zhang Yuan and asked "Your maid?"

With a nod, Zhang Fumin stood up as she wiped the tears from her cheeks "Yeah, she was the one assigned to me as my maid when I was small."

"She grew with me and took care of me while I was in the palace."

Letting out a sigh, she continued "But when I fought with the people in the royal family and left the palace.. she came along with me. Silly girl."

Yuan and Ning Xia also stood up and Ning Xia glanced around at the room "Where did the landlord lady go?"

Zhang Fumin spoke "I have already.. paid the rent for this month and she left."

Ning Xia nodded her head "I-i... see."

Looking at her, Zhang Fumin asked "Xia, you could have asked Aunty Shen for the rent money... and I would have paid her later."

Ning Xia lowered her gaze and spoke in a soft tone "I-Its... I have already borrowed money from her for the past two months."

"And I saw that Aunt Shen's shop is also not doing well this month... So how can I go and ask her for money..."

Zhang Fumin could only sigh upon hearing this and spoke "Well anyway, the rent is cleared now..."

Ning Xia showed a smile and bowed her head "Yes, Young lady."

Looking at her body, Zhang Fumin spoke "Let's go and eat at Aunt Shen's place... It looks like you are having less food lately."

The three of them then walked towards the inn to have lunch there.

Entering the inn, Zhang Fumin shouted "Aunt Shen, we are here..."

The woman came out of the kitchen and smiled, looking at the trio "Wait for a while, I have almost finished my cooking."

Zhang Fumin hurriedly nodded her head "Yes, Aunt Shen... It's been so long since I ate your food. bring it quick."

She hurriedly took a seat and called out "Little brother, come."

With a nod, Yuan sat beside her on the table and Ning Xia was dumbfounded as she followed him.

She sat opposite them and asked "Um, Young Lady... young Lord is your brother."

With a proud smile, Zhang Fumin wrapped her hand around Yuan's shoulder "Yeah.. he is my cute little brother."

The woman's voice rang from the kitchen "Ahh, you are lying again. isn't he your lover?"

Zhang Fumin's lips twitched and she yelled at Aunty Shen "You old hag, shut your mouth."

"Oi! That's rude..."

"Ah, sorry..."

Ning Xia's eyes glanced at Yuan and saw the soft smile dancing on his lips 'So... he is just her Little brother, I see... i see... ok, good.'

'No No... why am I saying it is good? Ahh.'

A few minutes later, Aunty Shen came with plates of delicious food and the aroma tickled their noses.

"Yes, Aunty Shen... bring them fast."

Chuckling, Aunt Shen placed them on the table and Yuan took the first bite.

Aunty Shen looked at him and asked "How is it?"

Yuan showed a smile and nodded his head "Yeah, it tastes great."

Seeing his genuine smile, Aunty Shen was contended and nodded "That's good."

Zhang Fumin rolled her eyes "You don't ask us about the food?"

Aunty Shen replied "Well, I know... that you will like my food. But since this little brother is new, I asked his opinion."

Zhang Fumin gave a nod "Aunty Shen, your dishes are so good. but do you know, why there are fewer customers coming here?"

"Because the inn is quite shabby. If you could just renovate and advertise a little, You can get more customers and you should also get new workers."

Aunty Shen let out a sigh and walked back into her kitchen.

At this time, the door of the inn opened and Aunty Shen was surprised and hurriedly turned her head "Welco-"

But her face froze in shock looking at the beautiful woman with long black hair and red eyes, who was wearing dark blue royal robes.

Aunty Shen hurriedly ran to her and bowed her head in front of the young woman "W-Welcome to my Inn, Your Highness."

Zhang Fumin's eyes narrowed as she mumbled "Big Sister?"

The First princess of the Xiangli Kingdom, Xiangli Fei looked at the woman bowing in front of her and nodded her head "Raise your head."

Aunty Shen raised her head and asked in a humble tone "M-May I ask why you are here, your Highness."

Xiangli Fei briefly glanced at Yuan and her eyes widened in surprise, glancing at the elegant man eating his food.

"Um, Your Highness?"

Hearing Aunty Shen's voice, Xiangli Fei was snapped back to reality and with a light cough she spoke "I came to an inn and you ask why am I here?"

"Obviously I came here to have a meal... or I cannot come here?"

Aunty Shen hurriedly shook her head and guided her to the table "Please have your seat, Your Highness."

Xiangli Fei sat on her seat and Aunty Shen asked "What would you like to have, Your Highness."

Xiangli Fei glanced at Yuan in the corner of her eyes as she muttered "The best you can give..."

Aunty Shen was surprised but she hurriedly nodded her head "Yes, Your Highness!" and left for the kitchen

Xiangli Fei's eyes were set on Yuan as she thought in her mind 'I heard that Fumin came back to the kingdom with a handsome man beside her.'

'So I came to check on her... but who would have thought that, this man would be this gorgeous?'
