After taking a bath, Rong Qingqing looked at the several large boxes in the room, still feeling somewhat excited.
She thought it best to sell the cumbersome items like sandalwood and cloth for cash, which would make it easier to run away in the future.
However, it was obviously inconvenient to have so many boxes piled up in the house, so she had to find another room to put them.
But she was tired today and really didn't want to move, so she decided to just leave it for now.
The next day.
Rong Qingqing found Changlin and told him about Hong'er and the others, asking him to have someone help her find out their whereabouts.
Changlin agreed without hesitation.
Seeing how readily he agreed, Rong Qingqing felt she had to reciprocate in kind.
This head guard seemed to be someone who wouldn't be swayed by money, so she figured he must like beautiful women. With a smile, she said, "Head Guard Changlin, I heard that Chunyan Pavilion has recently acquired some girls. Next time, I'll invite you to have some drinks with them."
Changlin: "..."
He coughed lightly, "I appreciate your kindness, Madam, but I wouldn't dare trouble you to spend money."
"You're too kind. It's settled then. I'll book the whole place. You can bring your brothers too." Rong Qingqing had a knowing look on her face and made the final decision. "Alright, I have to go out now. I'll leave Hong'er and the others in your care."
"Don't worry, Madam, I will find their whereabouts as soon as possible. As for..." drinking and carousing at Chunyan Pavilion, that's fine.
Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Rong Qingqing had already left with her entourage.
Changlin was a little tired; he had never even considered drinking with brothels.
...
Among the shops that Lan left to her daughter was a restaurant called Wangchunlou.
It has quite a reputation in the capital, and is considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant with good business.
Rong Qingqing then decided to meet with the managers of the several shops at Wangchun Tower.
Before the managers arrived, she toured the restaurant.
The restaurant is quite large, with three floors.
Apart from the lobby and the second floor, which are used to entertain guests, the third floor is not open to the public.
Rong Qingqing thought that she could set up an office area on the third floor in the future.
After walking around for a while, she returned to the lobby.
At this moment, the restaurant manager had already gathered all the waiters in the restaurant and was waiting there to be at her beck and call.
Seeing her come down, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to inquire, "Miss, what brings you here today?"
The restaurant owner's surname is Xu, and he is over forty years old this year. He was once promoted by the Lan family.
So when he saw Rong Qingqing, he was excited, but also a little respectful.
Rong Qingqing realized this and secretly rejoiced that Chen Shi and Rong Yiyi had only been managing the shop for a short time and hadn't had time to remove them. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome for her to take over again.
"Uncle Xu, thank you for your hard work these past few days," she said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Manager Xu's eyes welled up with tears. "Miss, please don't flatter me. Those were just things I should do. It wasn't hard work at all. On the contrary, it was you, Miss..."
He had heard a little about what had happened to the young lady recently, but unfortunately, he was just a manager of a restaurant, and even though he was worried and anxious, there was nothing he could do to help.
Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed.
"A lot has indeed happened during this time, but it's all in the past now." Rong Qingqing could tell that Manager Xu genuinely cared about her, so she smiled and offered a comforting remark.
