The servant looked at Shangguan Linger who entered and smiled faintly. “The Lu family’s restaurant is different. Even Lord Fu often comes here. It’s not worse than those big restaurants.”
Mdm Yu agreed.
The Shangguan family was no longer the same as before. They had to keep a low profile.
Lu Sheng was backstage instructing He Zhang about Mdm Yu’s breakfast, so Shangguan Linger did not see her.
However, the first thing Qiuer saw when she entered was Lu Ran and He Lai.
“Miss, look at those two people.”
She gestured for Shangguan Linger to look in the direction of Lu Ran and He Lai.
When Shangguan Linger looked up and saw He Lai chatting happily with the guests and Lu Ran, who was silently memorizing the menu, she could not help but be stunned.
“Constable Wang is here!”
When He Qin saw Constable Wang walk in, he hurried forward with a smile.
He Lai and Lu Ran also looked towards the door.
Ever since the last time, Constable Wang not only respected Lu Sheng but also everyone in the He family and Lu family.
After entering, he bowed slightly to He Qin and smiled. “My Lord said he would come over later and asked me to reserve a spot for him.”
He Qin smiled and nodded. “Ask Lord Fu not to worry. His position will always be reserved for him.”
Constable Wang packed some breakfast and left.
When she heard that Fu Xianyun was coming, Shangguan Linger was surprised and hurried to find a seat by the window.
She had been to the Lu family’s restaurant twice before and knew where Fu Xianyun and Yu Linglong liked to sit. Hence, she specially chose the next table.
When Lu Sheng returned from the kitchen, Shangguan Linger had already sat down with her back facing her. Hence, she did not see Shangguan Linger, and neither did Shangguan Linger see her.
After about fifteen minutes, Fu Xianyun brought his family to the restaurant.
Ever since Fu Xianyun took over the position, the atmosphere in Huang Yang Town seemed to have become much more relaxed.
In the past, whenever Magistrate Shangguan was in office, the commoners would avoid him for fear of being punished.
Fu Xianyun was different. Once he went on the streets, the people greeted him and chatted with him.
Moreover, Fu Xianyun would only wear his official uniform when he was in court. Most of the time, he would wear casual clothes.
In addition, he looked gentle and refined. He always had a smile on his face and did not look stern at all. This made the citizens very happy to be close to him.
Lu Sheng was naturally happy to see such a phenomenon.
The more popular Fu Xianyun was, the better the business of the Lu family’s restaurant would be.
When Shangguan Linger heard the commotion outside the restaurant, she knew that Fu Xianyun and Yu Linglong had arrived.
She turned back and saw Fu Xianyun walking in with Fu Shuo and Yu Linglong.
She stood up happily and was about to greet him.
Unexpectedly, the usually indifferent Yu Linglong had already smiled and greeted the girl at the counter.
“When did Miss Lu return?”
When Shangguan Linger saw the face of the person at the counter, her smile froze.
Yu Linglong actually knew Lu Sheng. Moreover, it seemed like the two of them shared a close relationship.
“Miss Lu, didn’t Sihan come back with you?”
It was Fu Xianyun who asked this question.
Lu Sheng smiled and replied, “I’ve been back for a few days. Something happened at the magistrate court, so the Lord has not returned yet.”
“However, he should be on his way back to Huang Yang Town now.”
“I heard that our sister-in-law is here too. Why don’t I see her?”
Yu Linglong had received a pigeon messenger a few days ago saying that Fu Sisi had also come to Huang Yang Town. However, after waiting for a few days, she still did not see her.
After that, she went to the Chu Mansion and heard that Chu Sihan had not returned yet.
She had thought that Lu Sheng would not be back so soon.
