Chapter 123 Composure
He didn't hide anything from Qianli.
Before Shangguan Jin could ask, he admitted that he was the one who caused the four men in charge of the Ping'an Earl's mansion to be unable to stand up.
"To give Wanli and Qiuniang some venting."
The way that kid looked at Wan Li that day was incredibly lewd.
"As the older brother, I certainly can't let my younger sister suffer, right?" Lian Qianli said frankly.
"Wasn't it Wan Li who did it?" Shangguan Jin was still a little skeptical.
Lian Qianli shook his head.
"Madam, I really did do that."
Wan Li was eager to do it; she had even prepared the tools—the same ones the girls from Wan Hua Lou used when they caught flower thieves.
I realized that this was the capital city, not Jiangnan.
If things get too out of hand, it will be difficult to handle.
A little punishment will teach them a lesson.
Lian Qianli subconsciously wanted to extricate Hua Wanli from this matter.
It's not good for a young lady to be associated with those men who can't get up.
"Oh, it's a bit of a pity. I thought it was Wan Li who did it herself!" Shangguan Jin still felt it was a bit of a shame.
Lian Qianli gave an awkward laugh.
Should we let that girl Hua Wanli do it herself?
Hehe, don't let that girl's petite stature fool you, she's got a knack for handling men!
Because of the many beautiful women in the Wanhua Tower in Jiangnan, it once attracted many flower thieves to steal their fragrance.
As a result, none of the beauties at the brothel were pushovers; they were all arrested one by one.
Once those flower thieves are caught, Hua Yueniang won't show any mercy.
He and the girls in the building cleaned up themselves.
They stripped the flower thief naked and pointed out each part of his body to Hua Wanli.
"Prick this spot with a needle, and it will make his whole body itch as if a million ants are crawling all over him."
If you stab him here, he will feel as if a fire is burning in his heart, as if it is burning from his internal organs, and he will wish he could crawl into an ice cellar.
And here, just a pinch like this will turn him from a volcano into an iceberg..."
With each scream of the flower thief, Hua Wanli studied very diligently.
Wow, Mother is so good at dealing with men! Father must have been afraid of being disciplined by Mother, which is why he ran back to Ruyi Alliance alone...
The things that Hua Yue Niang prepared for Hua Wan Li.
Besides gold and silver threads, various sizes of silver needles, and all sorts of medicines...
In short, any man who gets targeted by Hua Wanli will definitely experience the most extreme treatment.
Even Qianli was genuinely worried that Hua Wanli was going too far.
Just then, a mission was sent over from the Ruyi Alliance, so he sent Hua Wanli away.
Once that girl leaves, after three to five days, when she comes back and sees that her brother has already stood up for her, she'll definitely forget about it.
"Is Miss Wanli not here?" Shangguan Jin asked again with a smile.
"Yes, I've gone out. I have some business to attend to and won't be back for three days," Lian Qianli quickly replied.
Shangguan Jin understood; he had gone on official business.
Hua Wanli wasn't there, so she drank two cups of tea with Shen Qingyue and was about to get up and leave.
After hesitating for a while, Lian Qianli still whispered a few words.
"Madam Shen, if there is any news from Jiangnan, I will send someone to deliver it to you."
It will probably take the third young lady of the Mei family two days to arrive in Jiangnan.
As for who I contacted and what I said, I will have someone deliver the news to your residence as soon as I have it.
Shangguan Jin was taken aback and looked at Lian Qianli without saying a word.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just felt that this was the right thing to do." Lian Qianli quickly bowed to Shangguan Jin.
Shangguan Jin glanced at Lian Qianli, then at Shen Qingyue behind her, thought for a moment, and then said a few words.
"Young Master Lian, can I trouble you with something?"
“I wouldn’t dare say it’s troublesome, Madam Shen, please speak.” Lian Qianli’s attitude remained respectful.
Shangguan Jin didn't mince words and said bluntly, "Young Master Lian has many connections and a wide network of influence."
Could you help me find a hilltop that nobody wants? I want to buy one.
Thousands of miles...
A hilltop no one wants? Where can you find one? He'll go pick one up too.
"Um, Madam Shen, you mean..." Lian Qianli was a little unsure what Shangguan Jin was planning to do.
Shangguan Jin sighed and remained silent for a while before saying, "I have to find a way out for our manor!"
If things really become unbearable in the capital, at least there's a place to stay outside.
Lian Qianli was taken aback at first, then looked up at Shen Qingyue, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and suddenly understood.
Lady Shen was probably thinking of having multiple burrows!
If things don't go well in the capital, we'll send them away in advance.
Even without the title of Duke of Dingguo, one can still make a living by living in anonymity.
Even at its worst, it's still better than the home of Vice Minister Mei, whose house was confiscated and he was exiled.
“Madam Shen, even I don’t know where there are any unclaimed hilltops.”
But I do know a few of these secluded mountain villas.
"Once I have time to organize it, I will definitely give Madam Shen a proper introduction," Lian Qianli said with a smile.
"Is there really such a villa? Is it expensive?" Shangguan Jin's eyes lit up.
"The price is negotiable. I'll show it to you when I've organized everything."
"Absolutely safe, quiet, and with a good environment; you could stay in the resort for three to five years without leaving." Lian Qianli guaranteed.
This is not an exaggeration on his part.
Ruyi Alliance does indeed own quite a few manors.
These were all gifts from people who wanted Ruyi Alliance to do shady things.
Since the leader of the alliance had no intention of moving, he collected all the land deeds and house deeds and threw them into his private treasury, waiting to give them to Hua Wanli as dowry or to Lian Qianli as betrothal gifts.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there's a place, it'll do. Even Qianli has a good eye for houses; if he says it's okay, then it definitely will be.
"Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Lian."
"You're welcome. Madam Shen has been a great help in helping Chun Buwan gain a foothold in the capital."
This is a small matter for you, nothing serious.
"However, Madam Shen, things haven't reached the final moment yet, and the outcome might not be so bad." Lian Qianli whispered a few words of advice.
"I know, I'm just thinking about the worst-case scenario to prepare in advance so I won't be caught off guard."
Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
"The newly launched kingfisher feather plum blossom tea in the building tastes quite good; I think the ladies and young women there will all like it." Shangguan Jin changed the subject.
Lian Qianli smiled and quickly said that he would definitely continue to work hard and make the Spring Festival Gala a success.
"When Wanli returns, I will definitely have her come over and personally brew a pot of tea for the old lady."
It's getting cold now, so it's best for the old lady to stay home as much as possible.
"Alright, then I'll wait for Miss Wanli to return at the manor."
Sister Yao, prepare the snacks that Miss Wanli likes.
"Young Master, please take this to heart. Farewell."
With that, Shangguan Jin left with Shen Qingyue.
Lian Qianli respectfully bowed.
Two days later, Hua Wanli returned!
