Chapter 172: Boss Li, a businessman from Nanxin
The most ruthless are the imperial family.
After Jun Wenshu bit her tongue and committed suicide, the emperor did not even come to mourn her. He hurriedly had her carried out of the palace and buried.
He hated her so much that he didn't even let her enter the imperial mausoleum.
In the end, the Wu family took her body back and buried it in the Wu family's ancestral tomb.
When the Deng family heard about these things, Jun Wenshu had already been buried.
Deng Youning sipped tea while listening to Ying Shi telling her about the interesting things that happened in Beijing during this period.
"By the way, do you know how my elder sister Deng Xuelian is doing recently?"
For some reason, she suddenly thought of Deng Xuelian.
The Queen and Jun Wenshu are both dead. I wonder if she, who was taken away and tortured by the Queen, is also dead?
Ying Shi shook her head in embarrassment, "Miss, since Deng Xuelian was taken into the palace by the Queen's people, there has been no news of her."
"We don't know whether she is dead or alive now."
Deng Youning curled her lips. She was really unhappy that she didn't hear the news that she had died.
"Forget it, don't worry about her. She hates us to the core now. If she doesn't die, she will definitely come to seek revenge on us!"
Not only Deng Xuelian, but also his exiled father Deng Zheng.
Calculating the time, he was exiled for 3,000 miles. If he hadn't escaped on the way, he should have reached the northern border by now.
But how could he not run?
Li Tianzhuo's men have been following him, and heard that he went to the south.
When he was staying in an inn, for unknown reasons, the inn caught fire, and Li Tianzhuo's people lost contact with him since then.
Deng Youning felt that a person who valued life so much and was so shrewd would never die like this.
These days, business at her dock is very brisk, with many goods from Nanxin arriving.
And she discovered that the number of people from Nanxin in the capital seemed to be increasing.
I don’t know what this sign is!
Deng Youning raised her eyes and looked at the sun outside the window. "It's almost time, let's go."
Today, she made an appointment with Han Xinxin, a businessman from Nanxin and Han family's second cousin, and Mu Hao, the young master of Qingzhou's richest family and Deng Ren's apprentice, to discuss business at Tianfulou.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she saw Li Tianzhuo's carriage.
"Ningning, get in the car."
Li Tianzhuo called her over.
Xiu Ming also waved at Ying Shi in a naive manner.
But he was met with a cold eye from Sakuratoki.
"Why are you here?"
Deng Youning asked in confusion.
"Of course I am accompanying you to discuss business. The capital has been unstable recently, with a large number of people from Nanxin pouring in, and they all have skills. I don't know what to do."
"Although you have Senior Brother Mu and Cousin Xinxin to accompany you when you go to discuss business, after all, you are dealing with people from Nanxin, and I am worried!"
Li Tianzhuo's concern and worry for Deng Youning were written all over his face.
It was as if he would feel uneasy if she left his sight for even a second.
"Then in what capacity will you go?"
"My bodyguard? My childhood friend? Or..."
Deng Youning teased him on purpose.
Li Tianzhuo took her hand unwillingly and said, "Of course it's my sweetheart!"
That day, Deng Youning detoxified the emperor and found that the emperor would not live long. Jun Chenyi then sent a pigeon to ask people from Yaowang Valley to come and treat the emperor.
Obviously, their statements were surprisingly consistent with Deng Youning's.
The emperor was dying, so naturally he had no intention of taking charge of many things.
He has recently turned a blind eye to the affair between Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning.
He knew that Princess Youning stood on the side of Old Nine, and among his many descendants, Old Nine was the one who least wanted him to die.
Therefore, now he is in a disguised way reassured about Deng Youning.
The sound of horse hooves ticking in the elegant room of Tianfulou.
"Ningning, this is the Nanxin businessman who wants to do big business with us, Boss Li."
"Oh, Master Li is here too!"
When Mu Hao saw Deng Youning and the others arriving, he hurriedly introduced them to them.
Deng Youning nodded to Boss Li generously and naturally, but when Li Tianzhuo saw Boss Li's appearance clearly, he showed panic.
He looked unhappy and apologetically pulled Deng Youning out before she finished her ceremony.
"Ningning, tell Mu Hao not to cooperate with him. He is not an ordinary citizen of Nanqin!" Li Tianzhuo said nervously.
His whole body even began to twitch, like a suspect hiding from the police.
I was very resistant to that boss Li.
"Why?"
"Azhuo, do you know something? Do you know him?"
Deng Youning couldn't figure it out and asked with a frown.
Suddenly something went wrong on their side, and the three people in the private room chased out.
Li Tianzhuo glanced at Boss Li behind him and gasped for breath.
"Anyway, I won't hurt you!"
"I feel a little unwell, so I'm leaving now."
He ran away in panic, leaving Deng Youning confused.
Deng Youning: ???
What is going on?
She sighed helplessly, not understanding at all.
"The one just now..."
Boss Li spoke calmly and asked about Li Tianzhuo.
His voice was gentle and noble.
"Sorry, my friend suddenly felt unwell and went to see a doctor." Deng Youning explained casually.
As she spoke, she finally had the chance to take a closer look at the man in front of her.
Boss Li was dressed in plain white clothes, yet he looked elegant and noble.
After the incident with Manager Fan’s batch of cloth that was soaked in water by Gu, Deng Youning understood a little more about the cloth business.
Even if all the money in Tianfulou was sold, it would still not be enough to buy one sleeve of the suit he was wearing!
Could it be that he is a member of the Nanxin royal family?
"Ah, in that case, why don't we discuss cooperation another day?"
Boss Li took the initiative to give up the negotiations.
Ever since he chased out just now, his eyes have been fixed on Li Tianzhuo's fleeing back.
"Master Li was fine yesterday, why is he suddenly feeling unwell?"
"Is he sick again?"
Mu Hao scratched his head in confusion. Li Tianzhuo was too abnormal today.
"Master Li?"
Boss Li seemed very curious about him.
"Yes, he is the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, his name is Li Tianzhuo."
"Oh, by the way, I heard he's from Nanxin too!"
Mu Hao, this big leaker, was almost about to report all the information about Li Tianzhuo to Boss Li.
Deng Youning glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"Li Tianzhuo..."
Boss Li murmured the name and chuckled softly.
It felt like suddenly hearing news from an old friend.
Deng Youning felt a little creepy.
He really knows Azhuo, so he won’t cause trouble for him, right?
"It's our fault today. Boss Li has just arrived in Dongji Capital. He hasn't tasted the food here properly, right?"
"Waiter, call your shopkeeper in person and serve Boss Li well. Put up all the signs of Tianfulou. I'll pay for it!"
Deng Youning said with great wealth.
"Cousin, please help me take care of Boss Li."
"Brother Mu, come with me."
Before Deng Youning left, she did not forget to take Mu Hao, the big colander, with her.
Boss Li agreed readily on the surface and returned to the private room to eat peacefully, but he secretly asked his guards to follow Deng Youning and the others.
He had to look more carefully to see if that Lord Li was him!
Sixth brother, it turns out you are not dead yet!
