Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 747 Inquiry (First Update)
"Tavern?"

The coachman was surprised.

"Shui-Lord Rong, why do you suddenly want to go to a place like that?"

Shui Xingqiu usually doesn't drink alcohol, and even at palace banquets, the cup in front of him is always filled with water.

It is said that when he was a child and living in exile, he was bullied and forced to drink a lot of alcohol, almost losing his life.

So from then on, he never touched that thing again.

The monarch was understanding and gladly granted him this privilege.

Shui Xingqiu didn't speak, but only gave him a cold look.

The driver was instantly terrified!

How could he forget that the person in front of him was never known for his good temper!

He actually dared to question his decision!
"My lord, please forgive me! I—"

"ASAP."

Shui Xingqiu interrupted him and lowered the curtain.

Under the clear blue sky, with people passing by from time to time, he had no intention of wasting time here and attracting attention.

The driver, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly replied, "Yes! Yes!"

Having said that, he cracked his whip.

"drive--!"

The horse-drawn carriage hurried through the streets.

The coachman was also visiting the capital for the first time and was not familiar with the roads. Fortunately, Yunlai Tavern was extremely famous, and he could ask any person on the street for directions.

So they arrived smoothly without spending too much time or effort.

"My lord, this is Yunlai Tavern!"

The driver wiped his sweat and, while speaking, looked at the tavern in front of him with barely concealed surprise.

"It's not even noon yet, and there are already so many customers?"

It was bustling with people coming and going, quite lively.

Shui Xingqiu stepped down from the carriage, his gaze slowly sweeping across the scene.

Although his meeting with Xiao Chenglin yesterday ended badly, it piqued his interest in Ye Chutang. He wanted to see just how capable this woman, who was so highly praised, really was.
When it comes to Ye Chutang, the most famous and the quickest way to learn about her is through this Yunlai Tavern.

As soon as Shui Xingqiu stood still, a sharp-eyed waiter came forward with a smile to greet him.

"Sir, did you make a reservation?"

“No,” Shui Xingqiu said.

A tavern that requires advance reservations?

The waiter exclaimed, "Oh dear, all the seats on the second floor are full today. How about the lobby on the first floor?"

Shui Xingqiu didn't care about any of that and eventually sat down in a secluded corner.

"Your wine is the best you have; just bring a pot of it."

"okay!"

The waiter agreed and was about to turn and leave when Shui Xingqiu asked again, "I heard that this is the property of the second young lady of the Ye family?"

The waiter looked at him with some surprise. "Sir, are you from out of town?"

This is common knowledge in the capital, so anyone who asks this question must not be a local.

Moreover... this person was dressed in luxurious clothes, had an extraordinary temperament, and especially possessed a face that was unforgettable.

When the waiter asked, he already had the answer in his mind.

Such a person would certainly not be unknown in the capital.

"Our tavern was indeed set up by the Second Miss!"

When Ye Chutang was mentioned, Xiao Er's eyebrows danced with pride.

"You've come at the right time, sir! The wine at our tavern is something you can't find anywhere else!"

Seeing his eager attitude, Shui Xingqiu wanted to continue asking questions, but he soon discovered that although the waiter seemed enthusiastic, he was very tight-lipped whenever asked about anything related to Ye Chutang.

They were talking about things that are common knowledge and trivial.

As for more information, Shui Xingqiu tried again and again, but failed to get a single clue.

His brows furrowed, and he finally realized, belatedly, that...

—This Ye Chutang does seem to have some tricks up her sleeve.
