The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 628: Chapter 627: Fourth Sister

Waiting for a while is nothing; Huangfu Jingchen doesn’t mind waiting at all.

However, when the waiter was leaving, he couldn’t help but ask, "Your fourth boss..."

Whether due to his overly obvious expression or the waiter’s keen observation skills, just as he spoke halfway, the waiter knowingly smiled and said, "It’s a woman, our fourth boss is a lady!"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

Was that what he wanted to ask?

This waiter was too quick to make assumptions.

Hmm, he’d never guessed that the fourth boss of this Delicious Cuisine would be a woman.

As long as he knew Xia Wenjin was here, Huangfu Jingchen’s mind was at ease. He would continue to wait.

After promising Xia Sichen, Xia Wenjin thought it indeed necessary to visit Delicious Cuisine, and thus did not delay along the way.

However, upon arrival, she remembered that her brother had reserved a private room but forgot to ask for its name.

Just as she was about to find a waiter to inquire, she saw a woman, about twenty years old, with hair elegantly styled and light brows, slowly descending the stairs from the second floor.

Recognizing the familiar features, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Fourth Sister!"

The woman was slightly taken aback; she was indeed the fourth boss of Delicious Cuisine.

The bosses of Delicious Cuisine were a group of four siblings, all trained by the same mentor.

But apart from the staff in the restaurant, very few knew the fourth boss.

After all, Mu Ziyu rarely appeared at Delicious Cuisine, even if she did, she wouldn’t come to the front.

To her surprise, the first time she appeared this year, someone recognized her, moreover, called her what? Not Sister Mu, not Sister Yu, but Fourth Sister?

She was only ranked fourth in the sect!

What’s this connection?

Her displeased gaze turned to the source, finding a lovely young girl with delicate brows and a porcelain-like complexion, full of joyful reunion.

This made Mu Ziyu’s heart flutter; could she be a real acquaintance? A face so striking, could she have forgotten?

It wasn’t that she forgot, she simply didn’t know her, having never met her!

If she had, a face so distinctive, Mu Ziyu wouldn’t forget!

Seeing Mu Ziyu’s confused expression, Xia Wenjin realized she had mixed past and present in her excitement.

Mu Ziyu of this lifetime did not recognize her.

She promptly smiled graciously, "Fourth Sister, I’m Xia Wenjin. Might I have a word with you?"

Mu Ziyu had a somewhat cold disposition, yet facing a smiling young girl and her clear gaze like a spring, did not refuse, but nodded slightly.

Xia Wenjin happily moved forward, whispering softly, "I’ve acquired the scar-removal ointment and will give it to Sister Mu later!"

Mu Ziyu’s eyes darkened, shadowed with a deep coldness.

She surveyed her surroundings; this was the fruit of her brothers’ labor, a place that couldn’t afford disruptions.

Thus, she said, "Let’s speak in the VIP room!"

Avoiding the crowd, she truly wanted to see the young girl’s true intentions!

Her desire for scar-removal ointment was unknown to all, not even to her three brothers nor her mentor.

This was a secret, belonging only to her.

There were many men in Capital City who pursued her, wanting to win her favor, many of excellent standing, all rejected by her.

To outsiders, she appeared lofty and cold, proud as snow.

But it wasn’t like that.

It was her deeply entrenched insecurity.

Because on her chest, from below the left shoulder to her navel, there lay a scar, ugly and terrifying, which repulsed her at sight. She kept this secret, quietly seeking remedies to remove it. But it was from a childhood burn, and some remaining substances had embedded into her growing flesh, making it hard to remove.

This was also one reason why, at twenty, she remained unmarried, unwilling to wed.

Yet this young girl’s first words had directly exposed her secret.

Delicious Cuisine was a tavern specializing in grilled meats, yet, the four bosses’ mentor was not merely a chef.

This was only one of his skills.

Coincidentally, his eldest apprentice took a keen interest and diligently learned it, along with the four siblings establishing their reputation in Capital City.

Hence, these four siblings possessed skills beyond cooking!

Therefore, they attracted not only customers, drawn by the fame of Delicious Cuisine, but also adversaries!

Consequently, when Xia Wenjin exposed her secret, Mu Ziyu was shocked and wary, anger simmering with a hint of murderous intent.

Mu Ziyu’s lips curled slightly if the young girl was indeed sent by an enemy. Very well, she would ruin this painting herself!

Her expression was captured entirely by Xia Wenjin, who gave a soft laugh inside her mind.

Fourth Sister was the same as before, proud and cold, but truly passionate.

Pretending oblivious, she followed Mu Ziyu into the VIP room.

Usually serving as a temporary retreat for esteemed guests, or for the siblings to discuss business, it was elegantly furnished and serene.

Away from the main hall and private rooms.

What occurred here would go unnoticed.

Once Xia Wenjin entered, Mu Ziyu shut the door, her face dropping as she said coldly, "Speak, what’s your true motive?"

Xia Wenjin blinked, replying, "I have no ulterior motives; I’ve already said, I’m here to deliver medicine!"

"You... what medicine? Who needs your medicine?" Mu Ziyu frowned, her murderous intent undiminished, her gaze like a blade, peeling layers to see Xia Wenjin’s true thoughts.

Unfazed, Xia Wenjin calmly sat to one side, pulling out a small bottle from her sleeve, gently placing it on the table, "I’ve prepared this; no matter how old or stubborn the scar, this has the effect of removing dead tissue and promoting new growth. If it fails to remove the scar, you can deal with me at will! Of course, if you fear it’s poison, you may choose not to try, as if I’ve never been here!"

Mu Ziyu coldly laughed at her bluntness, "Your name is Xia Wenjin? Where do you come from? What’s your true purpose? Stop evading the question!"

Internally, Xia Wenjin sighed. She hadn’t intended to directly give Fourth Sister the ointment. After all, the siblings were wary and didn’t trust readily.

With her current ambiguous status, having exposed Fourth Sister’s most unwanted secret, it was no wonder Fourth Sister suspected her.

She quietly lamented, realizing she couldn’t hold herself back upon seeing those who treated her kindly in her former life, losing control of her joy.

Considering the situation, she reached into her sleeve, drawing out a dagger.

Mu Ziyu coldly laughed further, taunting, "Showing your dagger now?"
