The other party was a prince; she didn't want to have the chance to take it but not live to spend it.
He Nian's refusal was unexpected by Gong Yu. His voice was slightly deep, "You can take it as an introduction. I want to see Miss Mingyue."
See the bright moon?
He Nian's eyes instantly turned defensive. What was a prince like him doing seeing Mingyue?
“I’m not familiar with Mingyue, you can go find Mingyue yourself.”
No, she had to tell Mingyue about this, just in case something went wrong.
The prince is synonymous with vying for the throne, which means trouble. The more He Nian thought about it, the more determined she was to stay away from this person.
"Nothing else, I'll be going now, goodbye."
Gong Yu couldn't stop him, so he had to help deal with the He family's affairs first, trying to gain their favor.
Mingyue sipped her fine tea, listening lazily to He Nian's rambling.
Do you think he's plotting something?
Mingyue watched He Nian gulp down his tea and silently tugged at the corner of her mouth. "It's not a conspiracy, it's more like a cooperation. My wealth is comparable to that of a country, and he's not the first person to come looking for me."
In the land of Yue, agriculture, industry, and commerce are the main industries. Although merchants are ranked last, everyone loves money and most consider themselves superior.
However, without financial support, princes vying for the throne cannot accomplish many things, such as networking among officials or maintaining an army and purchasing provisions.
"What should we do? He knows your location now, and he'll harass you every day. Maybe... we should sneak away?"
I should have known better than to save Gong Yu. I never expected that despite all my precautions, I still couldn't prevent it from causing trouble for Mingyue.
Mingyue: "..." Very well, you are the first female lead she has ever met who wants to kill her official love interest.
“No need for that.” Mingyue put down her teacup. “Let’s talk about your business. Have you found a storefront yet?”
Hearing this, He Nian became deflated. She had looked at several storefronts, and when they heard that she was a woman and wanted to rent one, they all made excuses to refuse, or said that it was too far away and not worth it.
"No, I plan to stay in town first and continue running my stall. I'll buy a storefront instead of renting one."
What I envisioned was wonderful, but I never imagined it would be so troublesome in practice. I really don't know how Mingyue managed to build such a large business.
Mingyue: "It's fine."
After chatting for a few more minutes, He Nian left. Mingyue looked at the uninvited guest with great interest. "What brings you here?"
Liu Zhenzhen's face was pale. Ever since she woke up last time, she felt like she had a very long dream, a dream so real that it terrified her.
Her health deteriorated day by day. The Liu family called doctors for her, but they couldn't find the cause. They just told her to take good care of herself. She saw the bright moon in her dream, so she came to find them.
"I don't know either, I just wanted to come and find you."
That dream was so bizarre and fantastical, if I told you about it, I'd probably be burned as a monster, wouldn't I? Fear showed in Liu Zhenzhen's eyes as she twisted her handkerchief in distress.
Mingyue pushed a cup of tea toward Liu Zhenzhen, saying, "There's nothing much to offer."
The aroma of tea filled the air. Liu Zhenzhen picked up the delicate teacup, took a sip, and gradually calmed her restless emotions. The frown between her brows dissipated, and she unconsciously finished the cup of tea.
Looking up again, Liu Zhenzhen looked at Mingyue with a somewhat unfamiliar gaze. Suddenly realizing something, she was startled. Why was she drinking tea at a noble family's house?
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she shakily rose from the chair, making a move as if to kneel down.
"etc."
Liu Zhenzhen looked at Mingyue with a puzzled expression.
Mingyue smiled gently, "Let's go back."
"Thank you, Miss Mingyue."
Liu Zhenzhen slightly bent her knees in a bow, then ran off with a pale face.
