C72 He Borrowed a Knife to Kill People



C72 He Borrowed a Knife to Kill People

The air suddenly froze!    

    

Lyi Qingyan crossed her arms and looked at Tang De, frowning.    

    

Su Xiaoyun, who was by the side, looked at Lyi Shaotian with her sexy and charming eyes. Her beautiful eyes blinked and it was unknown what she was thinking.    

    

She originally thought that Tang De had invited them to this luxurious private banquet purely to thank Chen Bei for saving her life.    

    

However, no one had expected that Tang De would invite Lyi Shaotian and the people of Lyi family. What did he mean by this?    

    

The air was silent. Only the clear sound of Lyi Shaotian's shoes stepping on the floor could be heard. The sound was getting louder and louder.    

    

Lyi Shaotian slowly walked to the dining table. Looking at Lyi Qingyan and Chen Bei who did not look too good, a deep smile flashed across his handsome face. He said, "Sorry to bother you all. I also did not expect Old Master Tang to invite us tonight. I am very honored."    

    

Lyi Qingyan crossed her arms over her chest. Her delicate and pretty face coldly stared at Lyi Shaotian's handsome face. In her heart, Lyi Shaotian's favorability had dropped to zero.    

    

Chen Bei turned his head and looked at Tang De. The corner of his mouth curled into a ruffian smile, "Old Master Tang, are you complaining that there are too few people and that it is too quiet? If Old Master Tang likes to be lively, just tell me. I will definitely call a few decent looking girls to make Old Master Tang feel comfortable."    

    

Old Master Tang's expression turned serious and he laughed, "You two have misunderstood. Letting young master Li come over was my brother Lyi Hong's idea. The Imperial Court has matters to attend to, so I called him back at the last minute. Lyi Hong asked me to invite all of you at this private banquet, saying that there was some misunderstanding between all of you. There is no need to be so stiff. After this meal, we will be a family from now on."    

    

Lyi Qingyan's beautiful eyes were cold. Misunderstanding? She clearly knew what Lyi Hong's intention was, but how could she be willing to dissolve it just like that? The Lyi family... that place that was filled with scheming and coldness, she did not want to go back anymore. If it wasn't because of the internal strife within the family, she wouldn't have followed her father, Lyi Yang, to the Huhai.    

    

She had already lost her heart towards the Lyi family in Yanjing. It could be said that she had almost become the Lyi family's enemy. How could they let go of their grudges just because of a single sentence from Old Master Tang?    

    

"Misunderstanding..." Lyi Shaotian's sword-like deep eyes swept across Chen Bei and Lyi Qingyan. The corner of his mouth curled up, "There are indeed many misunderstandings between Qing Yan and I. If Qing Yan can let go, I naturally won't mind."    

    

"You..." Lyi Qingyan's exquisite and beautiful face froze. Lyi Shaotian's tone was indifferent and casual. It was as if everything that happened before was done by Lyi Qingyan.    

    

"Okay, okay, okay. Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and sit down and have a taste of the cooking of these dishes." Tang De laughed and broke the awkward atmosphere.    

    

Lyi Shaotian and the others took their seats. There was a long table with many exquisite dishes. These dishes were expensive. Even Lyi Qingyan, who was used to eating delicacies, was slightly moved when she saw these dishes.    

    

Because Tang De specially invited a national level imperial chef from Yanjing! The top imperial chef who presided over countless national banquets naturally produced the best dishes among the dishes!    

    

Even if he was born in a wealthy family in Huhai, Being held in Lyi Yang's hands since she was young, this was also the first time she was fortunate enough to taste a dish of this level.    

    

On the other hand, Chen Bei did not seem to be in the mood to eat at all. He opened the bow with his left and right hands and ate and drank. He did not have any manners or manners at all.    

    

In this banquet hall that was like a high-class society, there was only Chen Bei. He was as rude as a wild beast, attracting the attention of the people of Lyi family.    

    

Suddenly, Eldest Aunt spoke, breaking the silence, "Qingyan, is this how your husband eats?"    

    

Lyi Qingyan turned her head and saw that Chen Bei did not have any elegance at all. His left hand held the chicken leg and his right hand held the spoon as he gulped down the soup.    

    

Even when he was eating the chicken leg, He smacked his lips and ate in an awful way.    

    

"Qingyan, although your father has a disagreement with the Lyi family, But he's also an upper-class man. Your tutor shouldn't be bad, but your husband... When you eat, you're like a servant, and you don't look like you've been tutored at all. If this gets out, people who don't know... I thought the son-in-law recruited by the Lyi family was a male slave..." Second Aunt stared at Lyi Qingyan meaningfully. Her words were full of sarcasm.    

    

Second Aunt's words reached Chen Bei's ears. A deep light flashed in the depths of Chen Bei's calm eyes.    

    

Lyi Qingyan turned her head and saw that Chen Bei really ate and drank without restraint. He didn't have the slightest bit of recuperation, and he seemed to treat this place as his own home.    

    

"Brawler..." Lyi Qingyan spat in her heart, but on the surface she still replied with a calm expression, "Thank you for Second Aunt's suggestion. I will make him pay more attention in the future."    

    

Chen Bei curled his lips, "Eat when you want to eat. You can use any method you like to eat. I never care about these things. After all, I haven't eaten my fill yet. I'm not a busybody!"    

    

Chen Bei replied plainly. His tone was calm, but his words were sharp.    

    

Tang De raised his wine cup and smiled. "Chen Bei, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would have died in hell. Without you and that mister, I would not have lived until today."    

    

Chen Bei's expression suddenly changed. A hint of ridicule flashed across his face. He raised his wine cup and gently touched Tang De's. He said respectfully, "Old Master Tang, you are blessed. I just happened to be able to save you. This... this is my lifelong honor!"    

    

Lyi Qingyan's pretty face slightly froze by the side. She looked at Chen Bei in a daze. Chen Bei's flattery was too good. He quietly blew on Tang De... This was how high officials in the royal court liked it!    

    

"Bootlicker..." Lyi Qingyan secretly spat and pursed her red lips. A rare cold glint actually flashed across her beautiful eyes. Clearly, she was extremely displeased.    

    

If Chen Bei saw this expression at this moment, he would definitely be incomparably stunned. He would never have thought that Lyi Qingyan would actually be jealous...    

    

"How is Old Master Tang feeling recently?" Chen Bei smiled, his eyes full of concern.    

    

"He's fine. I've been eating the prescription you gave me. I feel more energetic than before every day. His illness is getting lighter and lighter now," Chen Bei said. A smile appeared on Tang De's pale and weak face.    

    

"Chen Bei, I am working in the court. In the future, if you can help me, feel free to speak. I, Tang De, will do my best." Tang De's solemn promise made Chen Bei's face stiffen.    

    

Lyi Qingyan's beautiful face also froze. She did not expect Tang De to make such a promise so quickly.    

    

If it was anyone else, they would have been excited. Tang De! He was an important official in the court! It was the dream of countless people to have such a high position in the court!    

    

"Old Master Tang, are you sure it was because of the prescription that saved you?" Suddenly, Lyi Shaotian asked casually.    

    

"Of course. Without the prescription, I probably wouldn't be able to wake up now." Tang De nodded.    

    

Lyi Shaotian smiled and looked at Chen Bei meaningfully. He said slowly, "Are you sure this prescription cured your terminal illness?"    

    

"What do you mean?" Chen Bei asked. Old Master Tang was surprised.    

    

"Nothing. I was just curious. I sent someone to study this prescription a few days ago. I found it was just a common prescription to treat the stomach." Lyi Shaotian spoke slowly. His tone was cold.    

    

Tang De frowned. Lyi Shaotian continued. "I didn't believe it at first. After all, Mr. Chen is Lyi Qingyan's husband. Later, I asked the experts of Huhai City for advice and they all became determined. This is just an ordinary prescription, not some miraculous medicine to cure incurable diseases."    

    

As Lyi Shaotian spoke, Tang De's frown deepened. He glanced at Chen Bei and Lyi Qingyan and stopped smiling.    

    

"If Old Master Tang doesn't believe me..." Lyi Shaotian paused for a moment and clapped his hands. The golden door was pushed open, and a few experts with white hair and white coats slowly walked in from outside.    

    

Lyi Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly understood Lyi Shaotian's intention of coming today. He came today purely to stir up trouble!    

    

This Young Master Lyi of Yanjing really did not plan to let them go at all!    

    

"Old Master Tang, these are the authority of the Huhai City's TCM world." He slowly raised his hand. "Tell Old Master Tang what this prescription is for."    

    

"We have studied every herb on this prescription carefully. We found nothing unusual about it. This prescription will never cure Old Master Tang's terminal illness!" One of the elders stepped forward. He glanced at Chen Bei." Old Master Tang, please don't believe in any triads in the future. If this prescription can really cure a terminal illness, the few of us... From now on, out of the medical world!"    

    

Shua!    

    

In the banquet hall, the elegant violin suddenly stopped in the corner. The air was silent!    

    

Lyi Shaotian turned his head and looked at Chen Bei, who had always been calm. The corner of his mouth curled up in a strange and eerie manner.    

    

"Mr. Chen, what else do you have to explain?" Lyi Shaotian's eyes were cold. He had planned this for a long time. Tang De wanted to thank Chen Bei for saving his life. He wanted to borrow Tang De's hand to get rid of Chen Bei.    

    

He wanted to teach this son-in-law of the Lyi family a lesson - borrowing a knife to kill people!
