Chapter 794 Did you kill the manager of Qingyunlou?

However, Xiao Qingyuan became even more furious after hearing what Yuan Zheng said: "If you don't like that Meng woman, you should distance yourself from her instead of letting others misunderstand and letting Shen Wantang suffer! What kind of brother-in-law and sister-in-law have such an incestuous relationship? Aren't they afraid of making a fool of themselves!"

Yuan Zheng was speechless. Besides, he didn't really care about all this nonsense. All he cared about now was whether he could escape the pursuit of Chu Yanluo's vengeful spirit.

"Gu Qianhan! What will it take for you to let Tang'er go?"

Xiao Qingyuan walked up to Gu Qianhan and grabbed his collar: "You don't deserve her, she should be mine! She was my princess consort in her past life! If you hadn't stolen her away in this life, she would still be my princess consort!"

Gu Qianhan had been getting annoyed by Meng Yunlan these past few days, and now Xiao Qingyuan had joined in the fray. His patience had finally run out.

"roll."

"Gu Qianhan, you dare tell me to get out? I think you're the one who should be leaving!"

"Can't you understand human language? If I tell you to get lost, then get lost, or I'll break your ribs again. I wonder if the ribs you broke last time have healed yet."

Xiao Qingyuan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he thought of Shen Wantang and forcefully suppressed his anger.

"Ink machine, bring out the stuff."

The inkjet printer stepped forward and handed over a box.

Xiao Qingyuan opened the box, took out the contents, and slammed it on the table: "This is for you! You and Shen Wantang get a divorce!"

Gu Qianhan didn't even look at it: "I've already said it, all those rumors about me and Meng Yunlan are just that, rumors. My wife and I are a perfect match, very loving. We will not get a divorce, so give up on that idea and stop pretending to be so affectionate."

Yuan Zheng leaned forward and curiously glanced at the things on the table.

Immediately, he exclaimed, "The land deed for Canghai Garden?! Qingyuan, isn't this the largest garden in your royal palace? You're giving this away? Are you crazy? Won't your father break your legs?"

Canghai Garden is not located in the capital, but in Beixingfu, which is adjacent to the capital. It covers a vast area and is a summer resort.

Last summer, when the weather was exceptionally hot, Yuan Zheng went to escape the heat with Xiao Qingyuan. When he entered Canghai Garden, even though he was well-traveled and had a fortune, he was still shocked by the garden's extravagance.

The royal garden truly lives up to its reputation, with all sorts of rare and exotic animals, precious flowers, trees, and a vast, clear lake stretching as far as the eye can see, as well as magnificent buildings that rise up in steps.

Such a large garden is simply not something an ordinary person can own. It's not a matter of money, but because if it's too big and too luxurious, it's beyond the bounds and would be punishable by death.

“Even if my father breaks my leg, I will accept it. If Canghai Garden can be exchanged for Shen Wantang, then it will be of some use.”

Xiao Qingyuan said seriously, "Well, Gu Qianhan, am I sincere enough? Besides, apart from Canghai Garden, we can discuss anything you want. I just want you to divorce Shen Wantang."

Gu Qianhan's expression remained unchanged, as if Xiao Qingyuan had presented not a royal garden, but a single leaf.

He stood up and walked out indifferently: "I will not divorce A-Tang, never."

It seems this place is no longer safe to stay.

If we can find one or two people here, we can't meet people or discuss important matters here anymore. We need to find a more secluded place.

Zuixianlou (Drunken Immortal Pavilion)

Shen Wantang was drinking tea, and naturally she knew nothing of what was happening in Jiyue Tower.

"Um... Second Young Madam, you didn't kill the manager of Qingyun Restaurant, did you? So that Zuixian Restaurant's business could surpass Qingyun Restaurant's?"

Shen Wantang choked, and almost spat out a mouthful of tea!

"Cough cough cough!"

She looked up at Li Yao: "How could it be me?! What nonsense are you thinking!"

Li Yao's expression held seven parts reverence: "Yes, yes, how could it be the second young mistress? I was just making things up. Please forgive my rudeness. It must have been the manager of Qingyun Restaurant who offended someone and was killed by a vengeful ghost. It has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Shen Wantang: "..."

How can she say she has nothing to do with her, but her face says it all: "You killed her"?

The manager of Zuixianlou followed behind Li Yao, and at this moment, fear was also revealed in his eyes when he looked at Shen Wantang, as if he believed that she was a woman who would stop at nothing to steal business and kill people without hesitation.

Shen Wantang shook her head helplessly. It's really great that after living three lifetimes, she still has to take the blame for Chu Yanluo.

Does she really look so ruthless and inhuman? To kill someone just to steal business? Is it really worth it?

"It really wasn't me!"

"Yes, yes, no, it's not you, it's a ghost, a vengeful ghost."

"..."

Shen Wantang wanted to sigh. Well, unless the Ministry of Justice solved the case, she probably wouldn't be able to clear her name with Li Yao anytime soon.

She decisively steered the conversation away from that topic and asked about Zuixianlou: "Has your mother made up her mind? Is she willing to help you take over Zuixianlou and make you the true owner of Zuixianlou?"

Li Yao quickly replied, "Yes, yes, my mother is willing! Last night, my mother also told my father about this, and my father informed the clan elders overnight. This morning, my mother bought Zuixianlou."

As she spoke, she took out a document: "Second Young Madam, please take a look. This is the document we have prepared. As long as you sign and put your fingerprint on it, we can become the owners of this Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

Shen Wantang was surprised that Li Yao and her mother acted so quickly. She picked up the document and read it carefully.

She then pointed to a line of text above with some surprise and asked, "Why is it now a 30/70 split? Wasn't it supposed to be a 40/60 split?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "My mother said that you are the second young mistress of the Duke's Mansion, and it is my great fortune that you are willing to support me and run this Zuixianlou with me. She told me not to be greedy, so she told me to split the business with you 30/70. From now on, you will own 70% of Zuixianlou and I will own 30%."

Shen Wantang was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Li Yao's mother was not only decisive in her actions, but also had a long-term vision and was not greedy for immediate small gains.

She shook her head: "Your mother is very generous. However, I appreciate her kindness. My 60% share of Zuixianlou is enough. So, let's stick to our original agreement of a 40/60 split. Take this document and revise it!"

Now it was Li Yao's turn to be shocked: "Second Young Madam, you don't want 70%? Don't you want to earn more money?"

Shen Wantang chuckled: "Of course I want to earn more money, but I don't need to take a 10% profit from you. We are partners, not competitors. We should work together to earn other people's money, instead of calculating gains and losses. That won't last."
