Chapter 2145 A Shop Delivered to Your Door
Cen Yi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I heard that County Princess Lu has been looking for a suitable shop these past few days, and wants to open a store?"
Shu Yu nodded. "That is indeed true."
It's no secret that she wants to open a shop in the capital. She met with two or three middlemen a couple of days ago and traveled around a lot. People can find out about it with just a little inquiry.
Cen Yi then said, "I have a shop on Futai Street. It's quite large, with a nice layout and a perfect location for you. If you, County Princess Lu, think it's acceptable, I can sell it to you for a thousand taels less than the market price."
Shu Yu almost choked on her tea. She looked up in surprise at Cen Yi across from her.
"You want to sell me a shop?" And in a place like Futai Street.
Futai Street is located at the intersection of the south and west sides of the city, and it is Shuyu's favorite location.
But after several days of searching, she couldn't find anyone to sell or even rent, let alone rent one.
People say that shops on this street are always in high demand; if one becomes available, it will be sold very quickly, not even lasting until the next day.
Moreover, the shops on this street haven't changed hands for a long time.
That's true, who would be willing to sell a shop with good business?
Shu Yu was very disappointed and could only look for other positions.
Unexpectedly, someone delivered a room right to my door, and the person was... my love rival?
Not only did Shu Yu find it unbelievable, but Hou Shi was also extremely shocked.
After the initial shock came suspicion. She had experienced the power struggles within the family. There were countless instances of women fighting tooth and nail over a man. This sudden, inexplicable favor to A-Yu must have some ulterior motive.
Fearing that Shu Yu might act impulsively, Madam Hou spoke first, asking, "What does Young Madam Zhou want? Since you call it a transaction, then the price Princess Lu paid must have been considerable. You..."
Cen Yi glanced at Madam Hou; she knew who she was, since her father-in-law and Lord Wan both worked for the Ministry of Personnel. Many people enjoyed discussing the affairs of Lord Wan's family.
Cen Yi had met Lady Hou twice, but she didn't expect that Lady Lu and Lady Hou had such a good relationship.
Upon hearing Hou's words, she knew what she was thinking and felt somewhat annoyed.
He then sneered, "What do you think I want? Do you think I still have feelings for Gong Xiao... Meng Yunzheng? Actually, you don't need to be so wary of me. I did take a liking to Meng Yunzheng's looks before, but I've been married for four years now. I wouldn't do anything to disgrace my family. If I really still had feelings for him, why would I wait until now to come knocking on your door?"
Meng Yunzheng arrived in the capital a long time ago, and he has been the subject of much discussion lately. Some people even deliberately brought him up in front of her to disgust and annoy her. How could Cen Yi not know this?
She deliberately waited until Meng Yunzheng went to the examination hall before coming over, just to avoid suspicion.
Shu Yu assumed that Cen Yi had no further ideas, so she raised her eyes and asked, "Young Madam Zhou, why don't you tell me what you want me to do?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Yi bit her lower lip, her face looking somewhat embarrassed.
He had been talking non-stop just moments before, but now he seemed unable to speak and remained silent for a long time.
She didn't speak, and the old woman behind her grew anxious, calling out helplessly in a low voice, "Miss..."
"I understand," Cen Yi replied, and under the encouraging gaze of the old woman, she looked up at Shu Yu, "Can you introduce me to someone?"
