Mrs. Lu's eyes flickered, and she was distracted for a moment before she said, "Well... that's normal. With her looks, it would be unreasonable if she didn't have any admirers."

The fact that someone admired her showed that Luo Lingyu was a normal pretty girl. If no man in Nanyang admired Luo Lingyu, Mrs. Lu would have doubted whether Luo Lingyu had a problem with her character.

Mrs. Lu asked worriedly, "Are Miss Biao and Mr. Fan..."

The servant replied: "I asked several ladies of the Luo family quietly, and they said that Mr. Fan has been trying to please Miss Biao, but Miss Biao never seems to respond."

After asking the servants, she asked the timid Qin. Luo Lingyu's wet nurse spoke in a trembling and vague voice. When Mrs. Lu asked, she began to wipe her tears and recall the bitterness, which made Mrs. Lu impatient. Qin repeated the same words: "...I really miss you, so I want to come and see you. Our girl has suffered since she was young, and I am worried when I don't see her for a day..."

"Alright, alright," Mrs. Lu had a lot of trivial matters to deal with, so she had no mood to listen to her talk. "Take Aunt Qin down to have a rest, and find a time to call Miss Cousin over and take Aunt Qin to see her."

Qin Ai hurriedly thanked her and expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Lu.

As the two sides were arguing, the maid Lu Yao came in and said, "Madam, Lingxi is here to get the monthly allowance for Xuesuyuan."

Mrs. Lu immediately asked someone to pay for it. She remembered that Lingxi was the maid Luo Lingyu brought from Nanyang. Lingxi knew Luo Lingyu's wet nurse, so she could let the two meet first. But Qin had already been taken away, and when Lingxi came in, she could only see her back through the screen. Mrs. Lu saw that there was no chance, so she didn't mention it.

Because Lingyu was taken out by Luo Lingyu, Lingxi was the only one left in the courtyard. Even though she was afraid of Madam Lu, Lingxi came to collect her monthly allowance. She lowered her head and dared not look at Madam Lu who was in a high position. She listened to Madam Lu's casual encouragement and nodded vaguely. Suddenly, Lingxi heard the crackling sound of wood scratching across the floor tiles. She turned her head and saw a figure going out from behind the screen.

Lingxi: “……!”

She stared with her eyes wide open, and in a trance, she seemed to see Qin Mu!

Lingxi's face immediately changed: Qin Ai... why did she come to Jianye? Why did she come to Jianye? Did Madam Lu already know about Nanyang's matter? !

Chapter 57

Lingxi was extremely confused. She vaguely felt that the figure was that of Qin Mu, but she also felt that there were so many similar people in the world. Qin Mu was in Nanyang and it was impossible for her to come to Jianye.

After leaving Mrs. Lu's courtyard and feeling the cold wind, Lingxi calmed down a little: Even if Qin was really here, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Maybe Qin was sent by Mrs. Luo to visit the girl? Taking another step back, if Qin was just here to give the girl some news... that wouldn't necessarily be bad news. The girl is busy running a cosmetics shop all day and night, and she has lost a lot of weight. This vague and unconfirmed little thing really shouldn't be told to disturb the girl.

Thinking of this, Lingxi decided to keep it to herself for now. She would meet the person who looked like Qin Mu in private, ask her questions clearly, and then tell Luo Lingyu.

Recently, Luo Lingyu has really put all her heart into the cosmetics shop that she is about to open. She has never had this kind of experience before, and it is difficult for her to ask other girls, because they will definitely answer her, "What are you talking about? Can't you just open a cosmetics shop? Why do you have to manage it?" The girls from the aristocratic families who were born in a comfortable life have never worried about money, so Luo Lingyu had to disguise herself and sneak into other people's cosmetics shops to learn from them.

When she showed Zhou Yangling the thick file she had compiled, Zhou Yangling was shocked: "So many? Did you read all of them yourself?"

Luo Lingyu was a little pleased with herself: "Yes. Although this is my first time, I will do my best to not let Zhou Lang worry about this. Zhou Lang only needs to pay and wait for the dividends in the future." She picked up the book and explained to Zhou Lang what she was going to do by the light. Luo Lingyu was good at speaking, and she put in more effort this time. After she finished speaking, Zhou Yangling looked at her with admiration.

Zhou Yangling said gently, "Sister Luo is really amazing. I am completely relieved to leave the cosmetics shop to you. You don't have to keep reporting to me. Since I have handed it over to you, you naturally trust me without any doubt."

Zhou Lang sat behind the desk, looking up at her with his warm and clear eyes, as if he trusted her and didn't care how she would mess up the cosmetics shop. Zhou Lang had great ambitions and a generous heart, and he trusted Luo Lingyu so much... Luo Lingyu blushed and felt a little ashamed. Because she was afraid that Zhou Lang didn't believe in her ability, she did her homework, exaggerated, and vowed to convince Zhou Lang. Unexpectedly, Zhou Lang didn't care at all...

Luo Lingyu slumped her shoulders, sat down, and honestly expressed her worries: "...I have never managed so many accounts, and I don't know how to look at them. Zhou Lang wants to establish diplomatic relations in Jianye, which will require a lot of money. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake in Zhou Lang's important plan..."

Zhou Yangling smiled: "It's okay. I have already communicated with my father and told him about my situation. Sister Luo just suffered a loss a few months ago, but I can bear it."

It was Prince Chen who had been looking for Zhou Yangling. As time went on, Prince Chen could not find Miss Zhou and became more and more anxious. The real Zhou Yangling, Zhou Zibo, who appeared in front of Prince Chen every day, knew best what Liu Chu was worried about. Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Zhou Yangling had no choice but to write a letter to her father, Zhou Tan. She did not tell her father that she was disguised as a man, but only said that she was already in Jianye and would use another method to examine the attitude of Prince Chen and other upper-class nobles towards the poor. Zhou Tan then wrote to Prince Chen and asked him to stop looking for his daughter.

Luo Lingyu sat next to Zhou Yangling, carefully revealing her lack of confidence, and Zhou Yangling gently comforted her... When Luo Lingyu left Zhou's house and got on the car to return to Lu's house, she had regained her determination and vowed to run the business well and not cause trouble for Zhou Lang. Zhou Lang was in poor health to begin with, and if he got sick because of her work in the cosmetics shop, she would really let him down.

In the beginning of June, the cosmetics shop jointly opened by Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling successfully opened near the West Market. The cosmetics shop was positioned to target wealthy common people, so it would not go the route of high quality and low price. On the first opening day, Luo Lingyu invited noble men and women to support her, and everyone agreed. Naturally, everyone did not know that Luo Lingyu opened the cosmetics shop out of poverty, just because Luo's daughter found a toy for herself like them. On Zhou Yangling's side, he invited several retainers of King Chen. Liu Chu was busy with government affairs and could not go to support Zhou Zibo, so he asked his people to go to support him.
