“Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep them waiting . ” Lu Wenshu regained his refined and dull appearance as he started walking forward . It was as if Pei Wuchen imagined the whole part where Lu Wenshu cheered him up .
Just like that, the group of them advanced in a grandiose manner to the capital city’s number 1 restaurant, the Drunk Immortal Inn .
“Today, I wanted to invite Divine Physician Bai for dinner . However, Divine Physician Bai wasn’t willing and I had to invite all the other princes . Either way, everyone here is my guest . Order whatever you like . ” Lu Wenshu passed them the menu .
Bai Luochu remained seated and simply observed from the side . It was as if everything here wasn’t related to her . The reason she came was to show her respect for Lu Wenshu’s status .

Everyone else was there for the same reason . None of them were familiar with Lu Wenshu . They insisted on tagging along after Pei Qingfeng shamelessly asked to be invited . The real reason they were all here was because of how bored they were .
The atmosphere in the inn was rather awkward and it became the Fifth Prince’s stage . He was a person who mixed around with the hedonistic descendants and gangs of scoundrels . They indulged in the many pleasures the capital city had to offer . Hyping the crowd up was his forte . “Young Master Lu is too kind . We are outsiders tagging along for a free meal . Since you are paying for dinner, you should be the one to order . ”
Lu Wenshu no longer tried to argue and he called the waiter over . “Golden Shrimp Ball, Red Braised Pork, Steamed Pork Ribs with Pickled Plums, Squirrel Mandarin Fish . . . a Scalded Greens with a jar of Nü’er Hong . ”
As he called out the dishes, Bai Luochu’s heart sank . Her face started to contort in agony . Those were the dishes she loved in her previous life . It seemed as though Lu Wenshu had seen through her identity . Bai Luochu wasn’t sure if she would be able to keep it a secret .

“Oh? Young Master Lu actually has the taste bud of a young lady . ” When the Fifth Prince heard Lu Wenshu’s order, he quickly spoke up to make fun of him .
Lu Wenshu chuckled in response, “Everyone must find it amusing . My old friend loved these dishes . She isn’t around anymore and I can’t change my habit of ordering them . This is why I asked for your opinion . ”
When Lu Wenshu spoke, he stared intently at Bai Luochu . Bai Luochu detected Lu Wenshu’s gaze and she didn’t raise her head . Pei Qingfeng, who had always been paying attention to Lu Wenshu, caught his actions .
“Haha, it seems like Young Master Lu isn’t sincere enough . Aren’t you inviting Luo Chu for a meal? Why are you ordering things suited to your old friend’s taste? How can this be considered a treat?” Pei Qingfeng was very unhappy with Lu Wenshu’s actions . His words were like barbed thorns and were meant to make things difficult for Lu Wenshu .
None of the princes had seen this side of Pei Qingfeng . After all, he wasn’t someone who would get close to women . Moreover, he was someone who would treat everyone with respect . Why was he speaking to Lu Wenshu in this manner? Putting aside the fact that the members of the imperial clan knew a thing or two about the old friend Lu Wenshu spoke of… Wasn’t Pei Qingfeng stabbing a knife into his heart?

“Second Brother, Young Master Lu has already explained the reason behind his action . I know that you are on good terms with Divine Physician Bai but you shouldn’t get angry . Your injuries have only just recovered, please take care of your body . ” The one who spoke was the Sixth Prince who had always stood aloof from worldly affairs .
Bai Luochu frowned slightly . She couldn’t understand why this Pei Qingfeng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on by Lu Wenshu .
“I am angry because of the way he is treating Luo Chu . Has he thought about how she feels? What will others think if they eat together? They are not even married to each other . Now that there are so many of us here, he still called for dishes according to his old friend’s taste . Are you trying to curse Luo Chu because of the matter over the Green Flame Eagle?” Pei Qingfeng was infuriated as he thought about how his brothers were opposing him . However, he seemed to have forgotten that he wasn’t qualified to interfere with Bai Luochu’s life . After all, the Third Prince was sitting at the same table .
Lu Wenshu felt that Pei Qingfeng was rather strange . He ordered these dishes because he was certain that Luo Chu was Bai Luochu, and these were the dishes she liked . Why would Pei Qingfeng think that he was trying to curse Bai Luochu? It seemed like his guess was right . “It is true that I failed to consider Divine Physician Bai’s reputation . However, I invited all the princes along as well . It is better late than never . However, aren’t you better at ruining Divine Physician Bai’s reputation? You used your injury as a reason to overstay your welcome in the general’s residence . What is your motive for doing so? Your Second Highness better not forget that Divine Physician Bai is His Third Highness’s fiancée and also your future sister-in-law . ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Bai Luochu had no choice but to speak up, “I am a physician . I am clear about my patient’s injury . Moreover, there is no gender in the face of a physician . His Second Highness was injured because of me . His body has always been frail because of the obstructed meridians in his legs . Had it not been for His Second Highness, I would have died in the Falling Cloud Mountain Range . Taking care of him is my obligation . ”
Pei Qingfeng heard Bai Luochu’s words and raised his head with pride . Immediately after that, Bai Luochu said something which killed his mood .
“Since the waiter is already bringing the food up, we shouldn’t waste it . Otherwise, we will be showing disrespect to Young Master Lu . As for Your Second Highness, you should head back to your residence in order to prevent more gossip . ”
Pei Qingfeng was about to come up with an excuse but he was interrupted by Bai Luochu’s stare .
