Chapter 73 What does the princess want to do now?
Yun Qingqing and Mu Hongling found a secluded place on the second floor to talk.
"I want to buy your Tianxiang Pavilion. Name your price." Yun Qingqing said straight to the point.
Mu Hongling was stunned.
"Princess, what you mean is..."
"Don't worry, I'm not only buying this place, I can also take in all the girls. If they don't want to stay, they can find another home and leave on their own."
Mu Hongling's expression changed slightly, and she said:
"Princess, I'm afraid that's not possible. The girls in this building are all slaves and cannot redeem themselves. If they are left outside, they will be bought and sold like goods. I run this place to give them a place to live. If I sell Tianxiang Pavilion like this, I'm afraid it's... inappropriate."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"I understand. After all, we just met. You have no reason to believe that I will treat them well."
Mu Hongling paused, feeling a little embarrassed, but she did not refute her words.
"What if I tell them that after I buy this place they won't have to entertain customers anymore, and as long as they behave well they can be freed from their slave status within a year?" Yun Qingqing said calmly.
"Really?" Mu Hongling looked at her in shock. "Princess, are you really willing to do this?"
If an ordinary merchant said this, Mu Hongling would just think he was bragging.
But the person in front of me is the Regent Princess!
With her status and position, it would be a simple matter for her to give some poor women good citizenship as long as she was willing.
"But I have a condition." Yun Qingqing knew that the other party was already moved, so she struck while the iron was hot.
"...Please speak, Princess." Mu Hongling calmed down, but became a little alert again.
That’s right, there is no such good thing in this matter. Let’s first see whether you can accept the other party’s conditions.
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly:
"I'm very busy on weekdays and it's impossible for me to manage the business myself, so my condition is that you must stay and continue to manage it for me."
"...Is it that simple?" Mu Hongling raised her eyebrows slightly.
"That may not be the case." Yun Qingqing thought about the jade fan in her hand and gestured to her, "If you manage my business for me, you will inevitably be involved in this kind of things. Think it over carefully. If you don't want to, don't force yourself."
Mu Hongling didn't hesitate for long.
She stared at the fan for a moment, then bowed and said:
"I am willing to share your worries. As long as you are willing to release them from slavery, I will not take a penny from the Tianxiang Pavilion. I will leave all my sisters to you!"
Mother Yu was surprised:
"The owner spent all his savings to buy this building. How can he just give it away without taking a penny?"
"I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more." Mu Hongling said calmly, and then looked at Yun Qingqing, "But I hope that the princess will write down the conditions you just mentioned. If you cannot do it after one year, I have the right to take back the property."
"Great, deal." Yun Qingqing made the decision immediately.
When Mu Hongling took Mother Yu to get the property deed and account books, Qiao'er smiled and said:
"You actually acquired such a large business without spending a penny. You are worthy of being called a lady!"
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly without explaining.
The first time Yun Qingqing saw Mu Hongling, she could clearly see the golden light of merit on her body, and when she said that she would not take a penny, the light increased a little more.
If I insist on using the silver to buy Tianxiang Pavilion, most of the merit will be mine.
In her previous life, she was a powerful being who sacrificed herself to save the world. How could she be willing to steal the merits of a mortal?
"But Miss, why do you suddenly want to buy a shop? Your grandfather is the richest man in Jiangbei. If you want a shop, can't you just go to him? And this Tianxiang Pavilion...what can you do with this place?"
Qiao'er felt a little embarrassed. This brothel was already famous. If people knew that the Regent Princess had become the owner of this place, what would happen?
"I bought this place because the weather, location, and people are all in line with my requirements. As for it being a brothel..."
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, there will soon be no one alive who can remember this incident."
Qiao'er was confused:
"ah?"
At the corner downstairs, a certain prince who was eavesdropping on the conversation with his extraordinary hearing also looked dazed.
...What does she want to do?
