The man and woman who walked into the store were speaking to each other softly. The man said with concern, "I thought there was no decent restaurant in the South District, but looks like I've underestimated this place. Sis, since you haven't been eating much for the past two days, you have to eat some food today."

The woman held her chest and nodded reluctantly, "Alright, I'll eat some then."

The man approached the shop and saw Lin Dan stirring a pot of braised pork. He could not contain the look of surprise on his face and said, "Oh? Are you able to make Qianzhou-flavored braised pork? It's a coincidence that we are from Qianzhou, can we have a bowl of that, too?"

Lin Dan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. The braised pork is sold out. Do you want to order something else? We also serve noodles and porridge here."

The man frowned, seemingly displeased. "But I only want braised pork and nothing else."

"I'm really sorry. If you want some braised pork, you can come early tomorrow." Lin Dan smiled.

She did not know who the man was, but Qin Er'niang knew. She quickly waved her hand and said, "It's fine, he can have my plate of meat." She wiped the cold sweat away from her forehead as she spoke, looking all flustered. If she was right, the two siblings were the children of Lord Dianqian, who was the only regional ruler with a different surname from the Emperor in the kingdom of Great Chu. He governed the Dianqian highland all year round and managed an army of 800,000. He was a man whom even the Emperor respected.

In order to display his loyalty, Lord Dianqian sent his son to receive education in the capital when he was very young, and his son was treated as well as the other princes. One year ago, he also sent his daughter to the capital when she was fifteen years old, and it seemed that she was preparing herself to enter the palace as a concubine. In short, the two siblings were extremely respectable people who could not be offended.

The man relaxed his brows, seemingly satisfied with Qin Er'niang's actions. But Lin Dan replied, "No matter what, we must observe the 'first come, first serve' rule. Er'niang has been waiting all morning, and this plate of braised pork should be hers."

Before the man could show his anger, Lin Dan had raised her head and took a close look at the pale lady before continuing, "Besides, I noticed that this lady has been holding her chest and seems to be a little dizzy. I'm guessing she's feeling nauseated from seasickness? In that case, she shouldn't eat greasy food. Shall I make some light food for the lady?"

The woman did not want to eat meat in the first place and nodded her head. "Sounds good, please make me some light side dishes. I don't really want to eat meat." She said that before giving her brother a fearful look.

The man thought about his sister's future and could not bear to see her suffer. He did not go against her wishes and nodded in agreement. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Tang Jiu. "You're here too, Young Marquis Tang? What a coincidence."

Tang Jiu nodded and said, "This shop was opened by my friend. Thank you for stopping by, my lord." What Tang Jiu meant was asking the man not to put the owner of this restaurant in a difficult spot.

The man was bestowed the title of a feudal lord in his early years by the Emperor. Although his status was higher than a marquis, he still had to respect Tang Jiu who was working closely with the Emperor. He immediately replaced his arrogant look with an approachable smile.

Seeing that he had a change of attitude, Tang Jiu handed ten copper coins to Lin Dan, and repeatedly reminded her to send him a message at the Ministry of War if anything happens to her.
