"Little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Zhiyun was lost in thought, the proprietress waved her hand in front of her.
Zhiyun came back to her senses and looked at the proprietress quietly.
"What are you thinking about?" the proprietress asked her again.
"I was wondering, since the Lord of Teng Mansion loved Queen Usuda so much, why didn't he die with the queen after she passed away?" As he said this, Zhiyun raised the corner of his lips, and it was an extremely ironic smile.
The proprietress also smiled. Unlike the irony in Zhiyun's smile, the proprietress's smile was full of charm. She said to Zhiyun, "Do you believe everything I said?"
Zhiyun was stunned, "Why, are they all fake?"
"Not really," the proprietress's red lips curled up sharply. "Who really knows what the story was like hundreds of years ago? Everyone hears a different version. You might hear one story from me, and another local might hear another. Those stories about hundreds of years are probably all made up."
Zhiyun: “…”
Depend on--
No one would really believe that a person could live for hundreds of years.
Before that, Zhiyun wouldn't have believed it.
But Han Qingrang had personally admitted that he was the master of Teng Mansion and also Murshidi. Although he told her so, in fact, which of these words were true?
He loved lying to her so much...
"Boss lady."
"Hey, go ahead."
The proprietress looked at Zhiyun with a smile.
Zhiyun leaned over and picked up the melon seeds on the ground one by one, saying as she did so, "You told me this story. Do you believe that the Master of Teng Mansion really lived for hundreds of years?"
"Believe it!" The proprietress told her not to pick up the melon seeds on the ground because there were plenty of them on the plate.
Zhiyun really didn't pick it up, she would just sweep it up later.
"Then why do you believe that a person can live for hundreds of years?" She wanted to hear what the proprietress would say.
The proprietress spoke meaningfully, "Of course, anyone else wouldn't believe it, but he's the Lord of Teng Mansion. This entire Water City belongs to him. What's more, this Water City even predates the existence of Simantu. As far as I can remember, as long as I've lived in this city, the Lord of Teng Mansion has never changed, including since my mother's generation. The owner of this Water City has never changed. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but have you ever seen the true face of the Lord of Teng Mansion, Madam?" Zhiyun asked the Madam again.
The proprietress shook her head: "What a pity, an ordinary person like me is definitely not worthy of seeing it."
Zhiyun stopped asking and fell into deep thought.
After all, they are all rumors, and what you hear is not necessarily true.
She could still trust Han Qingrang a little more.
Because no matter what, Han Qingrang was the only person she could trust, and this was her unconditional trust in him. So after analyzing it, she felt that these words were more likely fabricated and could not be taken seriously.
Zhiyun drifted here for two days, turning around twice from morning to night, and finally returned to the original place.
It's not easy at all.
"Madam, I'm going out for a while. I hope the hotel won't disappear when I come back?" Before leaving, Zhiyun was worried that the door would no longer be there when she came back, so she went somewhere else.
"That depends on whether you come back or not. I think you won't come back after you go out this time."
The proprietress was leaning against the counter, fanning herself with a fan and smiling charmingly. When the fan blew, her hair fluttered gently, looking extremely charming.
"I don't know yet, maybe I will come back." Zhiyun said.
The proprietress pursed her lips and hummed, "Of course I'll be back before nine o'clock, but you have to be careful when you go out. Don't think this place is too safe."
Zhiyun thought she was someone who could withstand teasing, but every time the proprietress laughed, she still got goosebumps.
The boss lady is a rare beauty at this age, with this figure and this voice.
"Then I'll leave." Zhiyun was about to go out.
Not far behind, the proprietress's voice came again: "Be careful, protect yourself, remember what I said, don't treat everyone here as a good person, not everyone you see is a good person."
Zhiyun turned around and looked at the proprietress.
Finally, he nodded, "I understand."
With the boss lady's words, Zhiyun felt at ease to go out.
She contacted Teng Qianqian and was on her way to meet her.
The current situation is that Teng Qianqian has already made it clear to Teng Yuande about her being here. Teng Yuande also knows that Teng Qianqian has been protected by Zhiyun during this period of time, and now he is eager to see her.
This time, with Teng Yuande's permission, Teng Qianqian came out to pick her up, and Zhiyun entered the mansion very smoothly.
This was the second time she saw Teng Yuande. The first time was the day she was driven out of the mansion. She happened to see Teng Yuande returning home, but she couldn't go forward under the circumstances at that time.
"Hello, Miss Zhiyun, it's an honor to meet you." Teng Yuande stretched out his hand and greeted Zhiyun.
Zhiyun extended her hand and shook hands with Teng Yuande.
Teng Yuande was very friendly to her. During the conversation, Zhiyun expressed her intentions. Teng Yuande promised her that he would take her to meet the head of the family and would not let her wait for long, just in these two days.
Zhiyun, who had been delayed in the hotel for two days, thought that things had become difficult, but she did not expect that after returning, everything developed much more smoothly than she had imagined.
At least, after meeting Teng Yuande, all arrangements were accelerated.
In other words, in two days, she will be able to see Han Qingrang.
Teng Yuande arranged the best room for Zhiyun to stay in, and Zhiyun readily agreed to stay. She didn't have anything else in the hotel, so she didn't need to go back to get it.
In order to meet Han Qingrang smoothly, living here is her best choice.
Teng Qianqian took Zhiyun to the place where Teng Yuande arranged for her to stay.
As soon as she entered, Teng Qianqian immediately bowed her head and apologized to Zhiyun: "I'm sorry, Zhiyun, I didn't know that the hotel would change its location, so you stayed somewhere else for two days before coming back."
"It's okay, I'm back!" Zhiyun didn't take it to heart.
This has nothing to do with Teng Qianqian, it’s mainly because the boss’s wife cheated her.
But Teng Qianqian really didn't think about this.
She hadn't been back for so long that she completely forgot that some houses in this water city would move at night, such as drifting on the water, and would move to a different location and direction the next day.
When she left the hotel, she only remembered to remind Zhiyun to be careful and not go out at night, but she didn't think about this at all.
"Is Teng Lisa targeting you?" Zhiyun asked about Teng Qianqian's situation over the past two days.
"No, how could she dare!" Teng Qianqian sat down. "With Daddy here, she wouldn't dare do anything to me."
"That's good." She was worried that Teng Lisa would attack Teng Qianqian.
