Chapter 295: Yamen Runners Flatter Yang Manman

The first target Yang Manman chose was Bi Yingjie, but Bi Yingjie refused, saying that he had something to do at home and could not get away.

She also asked someone to make an appointment with a few young men who she usually played well with, but they were either busy or unwell.

Yang Manman was very angry, but the table at Ningxiu Restaurant had already been booked in advance.

Just when she was so angry that she wanted to go back home, she met several yamen runners from the Dali Temple.

"Isn't this Miss Yang? I didn't expect to meet you here."

The man who was speaking was wearing casual clothes and looked quite decent. When he saw Yang Manman, his eyes lit up.

Yang Manman glanced at the other person in confusion, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"Miss Yang is really a forgetful person. My name is Wu Cheng. We are all servants of the Dali Temple. We met Miss Yang when she went to the Dali Temple to observe the autopsy."

Hearing the other party say this, Yang Manman looked at them carefully again and finally had some impression.

"So it's you." Yang Manman said indifferently.

They were just a few yamen runners, of too low a status, and she didn't have the time to remember them.

"Yes, Miss Yang, what a coincidence. When you went to the Dali Temple before, we brothers were wondering how there could be such a generous and capable woman. We have been looking forward to meeting her again, but we didn't expect to meet her here."

When Yang Manman heard the compliment, her originally cold expression couldn't help but curl her lips and raised her chin again.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I am naturally different from those ordinary girls in the boudoir."

"That's right, Miss Yang is really different!"

The remaining few people quickly echoed.

"That's right, a heroine, admirable."

"It is truly our honor to meet Miss Yang."

Looking at Yang Manman's smug expression, Wu Cheng said with a turn of his eyes.

"Miss Yang, since we met each other it is fate. I wonder if you have time. Maybe we can treat you to a cup of tea?"

"Why drink tea? Drink wine!" Yang Manman said cheerfully, "I just booked a table at Ningxiu Restaurant. Let's go to Ningxiu Restaurant to drink."

"Okay, great, Miss Yang, please!"

Yang Manman's unhappiness was swept away. It didn't matter if Bi Yingjie and the others didn't show up, there were plenty of people who wanted to drink with her anyway!

When they arrived at Ningxiu Restaurant, the waiter already knew Yang Manman.

When she asked whether Jiang Suining was there, the waiter shook his head.

"Sir, our shopkeeper is not here today."

When Yang Manman heard that Jiang Suining was not in the building, she was disappointed for a moment, but she quickly cheered up.

Hearing her companions say that they wanted to choose a private room, Yang Manman immediately stopped them.

"Why choose a private room? You are so shy. Is it shameful to drink with me? It's in the outer room on the second floor!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Miss Yang. Miss Yang is really not particular about small matters!"

The flattery from several people made Yang Manman feel very satisfied.

After the food and drinks were served, after just a few words, she took the initiative to mention her cancellation of the engagement.

"It's just a breakup, what's the big deal? I'm not the kind of girl who cries all day. Breaking off an engagement is like the sky falling. For me, breaking off an engagement is a good thing."

Yang Manman held the wine glass, her face beaming with energy, and she deliberately raised her voice, as if she was afraid that other people in the building couldn't hear her.

Several people also raised their wine glasses, echoing each other.

"That's right, Miss Yang is a heroine, not one of those girls who seek death."

"You should call me Brother Yang. Come on, Brother Yang, let us toast you for your generosity."

"Yes, a toast to you!"

"Okay, let's drink together!" Yang Manman said heroically.

Jiang Suining sat in the private room, listening to the loud noise outside, and calmly flipping through the account book that Jiang Cheng had brought to him.

Xier came in with tea and said to Jiang Suining, "Miss, do you want me to remind them to keep their voices down? It's okay with Yang Manman, but I don't know who those people are. They are so noisy and have no scruples. We have other guests in our building."

"Those should be the runners from the Dali Temple." Jiang Cheng said from the side.

"Do you know them?" Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Cheng.

The latter nodded, "Miss, they went to Ningjinfang before, relying on their status as officials to get some free embroidery, saying that they were to be given to their lovers. Yunniang didn't want to offend them, so she gave them some. I was there at the time and saw it."

"Can the police just rob people's things at will? Isn't that robbery?" Xier said indignantly.

Jiang Suining frowned and walked to the window to look at those people.

Jiang Cheng walked behind her and reported in a low voice: "Miss, when these people went to Ningjinfang before, I felt that it was not the first time for them to ask for things from merchants. So I secretly asked around and found that other merchants on that street had also been asked for things by them. However, they didn't ask for much each time, and the price was not expensive. Everyone thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so no one reported them."

"You've thought it through clearly. There aren't many items and the price isn't expensive, so most merchants won't get angry. Even if you report it to the Dali Temple later, there won't be serious consequences because the price is low." Jiang Suining said as he looked at them through the window.

Listening to their compliments to Yang Manman, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

After her engagement was broken off by the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Manman must have been very unhappy and in urgent need of proving her charm, so she came out to show off in public. She wanted to show that she didn't care, but also wanted everyone to see that she was still the Yang Manman who was pampered by a group of men.

But the discussion about her breaking off the engagement has not completely passed. At this critical juncture, those noble sons will not get too close to her if they care about their reputation. Moreover, they also have to consider whether it will offend the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for these Dali Temple runners...

According to Yang Manman's temper and personality, she would most likely not take the initiative to ask them out. It was estimated that they met by chance or they took the initiative to find Yang Manman.

This fervent adulation at this moment...

Probably he has some ulterior motive.

Jiang Suining retracted his gaze and looked at Xier, "Reminding them to keep their voices down now will only make the noise worse. Tell the waiter to tell the guests around that there was a lot of noise in the building today. We at Ningxiu Restaurant in the Duke's Mansion cannot afford to offend. We will give you a 20% discount on the dishes when you settle the bill as a token of our apology. In addition..."

Jiang Suining paused and looked through the window at the yamen runners outside again.

"It seems these few people are plotting against Yang Manman. Let's keep a close eye on them."

"Miss, even if they have some ulterior motive, it is against Yang Manman. Why should we care?" Xier said in a muffled voice.

That Yang Manman had been targeting the young lady before, so no matter what she did.

Jiang Suining chuckled, "Okay, just give the orders, and just treat it as...watching the fun."
