"Oh! Master Sheng, you are here!" The landlord greeted him with a smile on his face. "Why did you come here so suddenly?"
Sheng Hongye glanced at Madam Qin, who was too excited to control herself, and smiled softly: "I heard that someone was eager to see me, so I responded and came."
Madam Qin nodded vigorously, and walked to him with a cane, staggering but extremely determined: "Yes, it's me! It's me who is looking for you! Mr. Sheng, do you still remember me?"
Sheng Hongye looked her up and down and nodded slightly: "Of course I remember. Madam Qin."
"That's right!" Old Madam Qin was so excited that she could hardly breathe. She lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Sheng, I have an important matter that I would like to ask for your assistance. Can we find a quiet place to talk?"
Madam Qin deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that others might hear her.
After all, although buying a property was a necessity for her, she didn't want others to know about it.
After all, this kind of thing is not glorious.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Qin couldn't help but feel secretly thankful.
Fortunately, she did not reveal the truth that Sheng Yunrong had tricked her son into divorcing her in a rage. Otherwise, once everyone knew that she had secretly transferred the real estate under Sheng Yunrong's name, she would have been blamed by countless people who were not aware of the situation.
But no one knows about it now. If her transfer of the property is discovered, it would seem that Sheng Yunrong secretly took the Qin family's property for herself and then secretly transferred it back.
"Okay." Sheng Hongye nodded slightly, having already planned for her visit.
The people around saw that Old Madam Qin really left with the mysterious young man, and they all showed surprise.
"Could it be that this old lady Qin is really the VIP guest of those two mysterious gentlemen?"
"Not really... With Madam Qin in this state now, which wealthy family would be willing to make friends with her Qin family?"
"Perhaps the Qin family really has some extraordinary treasures hidden! Remember when Qin Wenyuan took that concubine a month ago, the emperor and queen, as well as Prince Jing and Master Tu Su, all came in person, didn't they?"
"Who says it's not true? But... His Royal Highness Prince Jing is about to go to war. Why doesn't his close friend Master Tu Su hold a grand banquet for him as usual?"
"Indeed... Master Tu Su seems to have not appeared for some time."
"Now that you mention it... it's indeed a little strange. I don't know what exactly happened..."
Deep in the alley, there is an inconspicuous little inn. Sheng Hongye and Old Madam Qin walked hurriedly and went up to an elegant private room on the second floor.
Old Madam Qin looked around. The simple decoration seemed a bit shabby in her eyes. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through her heart.
"The famous Master Sheng is actually such a gentleman!" She muttered to herself, and couldn't help but look down on the famous Master Sheng. It was really hard to accept that he only chose this simple little inn to eat with an old woman like her in the city.
"Madam Qin, let's get back to business." Sheng Hongye noticed that she looked unhappy and reminded her softly.
"Well, all right!" Madam Qin suppressed her unhappiness and forced a flattering smile on her face, "Master Sheng, have you sold the mansion of my rebellious wife?"
Sheng Hongye pretended to be in deep thought, and after a moment he shook his head: "It hasn't been sold yet."
A gloom flashed across Old Madam Qin's eyes, like a dark cloud passing through the night sky.
She had long been suspicious and had specifically asked her son whether what Sheng Yunrong said about selling the house and her rescue from prison was true. Now it seemed that it was all nonsense!
"Sheng Yunrong, this vicious woman, actually schemed like this to alienate us mother and son!" She was burning with anger.
"Ahem." Realizing that Sheng Hongye was still across from her, Old Madam Qin quickly calmed down and put on a smile again. "Actually, what I want to discuss with Master Sheng today is related to my daughter-in-law."
"Oh?" Sheng Hongye frowned deliberately, "I wonder what it is that makes Old Madam Qin come to visit in person?"
"Actually... the house purchased by my rebellious daughter-in-law... is not under her name!" Old Madam Qin said in a firm tone.
"What? It doesn't belong to her?" Sheng Hongye pretended to be surprised.
"That's right!" Old Madam Qin gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with anger. "That woman is ambitious and greedy. She is lazy and indulges in pleasure all day long. When she encounters trouble, she either cries or curses. My son couldn't stand such a woman continuing to be the mistress of the house, so he had to drive her out of the house. Unexpectedly, she quietly embezzled the family property and bought the abandoned property!"
Madam Qin raised her old face, tears welling in her eyes, and stared at Sheng Hongye closely: "Mr. Sheng, please judge for yourself. How could such a woman have the money to buy real estate? Everything she wears, wears, and uses is our Qin family's property! That is the property accumulated by my son and I through hard work!"
"She quietly embezzled the money and bought the property! If Master Sheng hadn't led me here that day, I would probably have died without knowing it. This woman actually did such a thing behind my back!" As Old Lady Qin spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she was filled with grief.
"Really?" Sheng Hongye's smile gradually became as cold as ice.
His hands were clenched into fists beneath the table.
He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would lose control and knock down Madam Qin.
For the sake of Sheng Yunrong's grand plan, he endured the dirty water thrown by Old Madam Qin and swallowed it deeply.
"That's true!" Madam Qin seemed to have endless things to say, and in the end she burst into tears, dripping one tear after another in a sympathetic way. "Mr. Sheng, look at the crime this woman committed. It's intolerable! My poor son... is still in prison! How can I survive alone?"
Sheng Hongye was already fed up with her, so he asked her directly about her real purpose: "Madam Qin, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
The words that Old Madam Qin had been waiting for for for a long time finally appeared. She suddenly raised her head with a firm look in her eyes.
"I hope you can transfer the property under Sheng Yunrong's name to mine!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Sheng Hongye's eyes.
It turned out to be just as my sister expected.
"Okay." Sheng Hongye's answer was unexpectedly quick.
A satisfied smile bloomed on Old Madam Qin's face.
"But..." Sheng Hongye raised his lips slightly, "There are additional conditions."
"Conditions? What conditions?" The joy that had just risen in Old Madam Qin's heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
She looked at Sheng Hongye with some annoyance.
This Mr. Sheng is really hard to understand. He is so young, but his actions are so complicated.
There are conditions attached to doing a favor.
Enough——
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was that woman Sheng Yunrong who took away the Qin family’s property.
This Mr. Sheng actually dared to put forward conditions.
How shameless!
