Wei Shao'er's Good News

"Miss Wei looks so beautiful when she eats!"

Wei Shao'er sat gracefully at the long table, her sleeves covering her mouth as she stuffed large mouthfuls of food into her stomach.

Having been brought in as a foil, Zhang Xuezhou only politely drank a couple of sips of water, and the food on his plate had already disappeared.

He looked at the chicken leg he was holding, then at the look Wei Shao'er gave him after licking his lips. Zhang Xuezhou loosened his grip on the chicken leg and slowly pulled it back.

Three seconds later, the chicken bone, now devoid of any leg meat, was placed down by Wei Shao'er with remarkable elegance.

"Young Master Chen, Miss Wei not only looks beautiful while eating, she also has a huge appetite. Look, she's finished everything," Zhang Xuezhou reminded her.

"Being able to eat is a blessing. My mom always says that girls who know how to eat are healthy!" Chen Zhang said happily.

Chen Zhang's reaction was noticeably slow. Zhang Xuezhou's intention was more to suggest that the food on the table was finished and it was time to serve more dishes, but Chen Zhang was more focused on the way Wei Shao'er ate.

"Young Master Chen said, 'Three more catties of beef and a chicken... no, five catties of beef and two chickens!'"

Seeing Wei Shao'er's winking and gesturing behind his sleeve, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to speak up for him.

When Wei Shao'er held up five fingers and kicked him twice, Zhang Xuezhou quickly changed his tune.

"Yes, give me some more food, I haven't eaten yet!"

Chen Zhang snapped out of his daze and quickly urged the innkeeper to serve the dishes.

Several more people remained nearby, watching the strange group at the table.

Chen Zhang is as foolish as a landlord's son, Zhang Xuezhou is calculating and mysterious, and Wei Shao'er eats like a glutton.

The people were all different; one was after sex, another after money, and yet another after food.

The scene finally ended when Wei Shao'er let out a long sigh.

Wei Shao'er rarely spoke; after finishing his meal, he covered his face with his sleeve and took his leave before Chen Zhang.

"Miss Wei, when will I be able to see you again?" Chen Zhang asked.

She said she would definitely come if you treated her to a meal!

Zhang Xuezhou spoke for Wei Shao'er, saying what she couldn't say herself. Seeing Wei Shao'er's requests and gestures of thanks, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Wei Shao'er had snagged a long-term meal ticket from a complete fool.

"Is he possessed by an evil spirit, or is he just blinded by first love?"

Zhang Xuezhou once suspected that Chen Zhang might be under some kind of spell, which was why he only saw Wei Shao'er's good points and didn't notice that the other party was not only a good-for-nothing, but also pregnant.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't interfere with Wei Shao's good deeds.

Given how easily Wei Shao'er was able to steal from the palace, the target must have been someone he had studied for a long time.

Even without his help, Wei Shao'er could easily control Chen Zhang.

"Brother, it's your turn to pay the bill," Zhang Xuezhou patted Chen Zhang on the shoulder and said, "If you want to heal your right hand injury, you can find a doctor who treats sprains and bruises next to the Ji'an Pharmacy in the West Market during the day, and at night you can go to the first room on the left on the second floor of this inn; that's where the doctor lives!"

"Okay!"

Chen Zhang looked completely dazed, as if he hadn't yet woken up.

He looked at the second floor for a long time, then bought the goods on credit from the shop owner, and happily walked towards the West Market, clutching his injured right hand.

"Cousin, is there something wrong with this guy?"

Rong Tianding held the brocade robe that Chen Zhang had lost, along with his sword, jade pendant, shoes, and other items. He simply couldn't understand Chen Zhang and ultimately concluded that Chen Zhang's behavior was insane.

"Everyone has a moment of blindness in their life!"

Zhang Xuezhou sighed.

Wei Shao'er is at an age where she is young but also has the characteristics of a young woman. Her appearance is pure yet alluring, making her an absolute killer for men who are full of Qi and Blood but have little experience in love.

Chen Zhang was clearly the virgin chosen by Wei Shao'er, and he too fell into a love trap.

"Anyway, we should abstain from women and absolutely not let any woman seduce us," Rong Tianding concluded.

"The more experience you have, the less likely you are to have this problem," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "These kinds of things can only be guided, not blocked. The more you avoid them, the easier it is for them to fall for it. Those who are ignorant might even suffer a big fall because of old and ugly women!"

"How is that possible?" Rong Tianding exclaimed. "I can understand if you say a beautiful woman is a menace, but when did an old and ugly woman develop such abilities?"

"This kind of thing happens all the time, but you only focus on the pretty ones, so you think only pretty women are deceitful!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the Tuer people and couldn't help but sigh.

The people of Tur are not only skilled individuals who rise to the top to steal crucial secrets; ordinary people also engage in fraud, with marriage fraud being particularly prevalent.

Not all women who do this are beautiful; some are extremely ordinary-looking, or even ugly, but these people manage to find targets and cause many to fall victim to their schemes.

If Rong Tianding were to remain single for decades, Zhang Xuezhou estimates that Rong Tianding would be no different, content to be with any woman of average looks and talent.

But once you gain more experience, you'll be able to remain calm and composed when faced with these situations, and you won't be misled at all if you broaden your perspective.

Ultimately, these all boil down to a matter of perspective and experience.

"I'll introduce you to more outstanding women in the future, so you can nip problems in the bud from a young age," Zhang Xuezhou said.

How outstanding?

"Good-looking and capable," Zhang Xuezhou added, recalling Rong Tianding's requirements, "And also very wealthy!"

"That's absolutely amazing!"

Rong Tianding looked on with envy.

He envied women who were rich, beautiful, and talented.

Even if I don't marry her, just looking at her would be wonderful.

"What nonsense you're spouting—about being a fraud, old and ugly, and a womanizer—am I really that despicable?"

Only after Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding entered the room did they have to face reality.

Rong Tianding quickly learned what it meant to be a skilled fighter.

The silver and half a tael of coins that he had been holding from Chen Zhang were barely warmed in his hand before Wei Shao'er snatched them away.

"You're beautiful and you can fight!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Wei Shao'er, then at the silver and half a tael of coins in the other's hand.

"And extremely wealthy!"

"That money is ours!"

Rong Tianding let out a wail, but after being slapped by Wei Shao'er, he immediately lay obediently on the ground and remained silent.

"Look, we all think you're outstanding," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I brought my cousin upstairs to see what an outstanding woman you are!"

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Wei Shao'er weighed the silver in his hand and was immediately satisfied.

"Don't worry, I only resorted to such desperate measures because I was down on my luck," Wei Shao'er said. "Normally I'm quite gentle and never hit people indiscriminately!"

"I believe it," Zhang Xuezhou raised his hand and nodded in agreement.

"As long as I survive, I will repay what I have taken today in the future," Wei Shao'er promised.

"We're all friends, why are you talking about reporting me!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands repeatedly.

He didn't expect Wei Shao'er to repay him severely; he would be grateful if Wei Shao'er didn't get involved after causing trouble.

Zhang Xuezhou was also glad that Wei Shao'er had a younger brother, Wei Qing, in Chang'an City. This made Wei Shao'er more cautious in his actions, so as not to implicate or implicate his younger brother.

But Wei Shao'er's trip brought Zhang Xuezhou some good news that was hard to refuse.
