Ye Qianning sat in the carriage and could vaguely see outside through the gauze of the window. Except for the Gu family's businesses, many other shops on both sides of the street were closed.
The place that was bustling a few days ago has seen changes in just two days.
Some business-savvy vendors also felt that Dayu City might decline in the future and that their shops should be sold as soon as possible.
Many restaurant and inn owners also posted notices at their doors to advertise for sale or disposal.
"Miss." Du Yi called out, and the carriage slowed down.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems that Mr. Qian and Prince Xiyan are in the restaurant ahead."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qianning leaned over and lifted the curtain to look. There were two people sitting by the windows on the third floor of the first two restaurants on the left. From her direction, she could only see Qian Fanji's back.
Opposite him sat Xiliuyuan, who was saying something at the moment.
Ye Qianning listened carefully but didn't hear any sound.
"Miss, do you want to go up?" Du Yi asked.
"No need, let's go." Ye Qianning was about to lower the curtain when Xiliuyuan looked over.
When Xiliuyuan saw her, he picked up the wine glass in his hand and raised it slightly as a greeting.
Ye Qianning nodded in response.
Qian Fanji turned around and saw Ye Qianning in the car, with confusion in his eyes, as if wondering where she was going.
Ye Qianning raised his hand, stretched out two fingers of one hand and placed them on the palm of the other hand, moving the two fingers, indicating that he was just going out for a walk.
Qian Fanji nodded.
Seeing that he understood, Ye Qianning raised his head and laughed, then shrank back into the carriage.
Du Yi drove away.
Qian Fanji smiled and shook his head slightly, but the direction of their carriage seemed to be towards the city gate.
What are you doing out of town at this time?
"Miss Xiang seems different from before." Xiliuyuan said suddenly.
Qian Fanji retracted his gaze upon hearing this, and the smile on his lips faded: "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
"Back then, Xiao Wang had met Miss Xiang a few times in Beili. She was very murderous when she was young, but now her hostility has faded a lot." Xiliuyuan thought of her smile just now.
Bright and gentle, she could never unite with the murderous, violent and deathly aura of the Sifang Mountain back then.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't talk nonsense. This child has been gentle since childhood. How could he have murderous intent?" Qian Fanji said indifferently.
Xiliuyuan remained indifferent and silent.
The secret guards following Xiliuyuan twitched their lips.
Gentle since childhood?
How could he say this so calmly?
He had seen it before. The explosive aura even made them feel ashamed of themselves... And he had been gentle since childhood?
"How could a great country like Xiyan be without coal mines? I am really surprised that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally inquired about it." Qian Fanji returned to the main topic.
"That's how it shows sincerity. I wonder if Mr. Qian is willing to cooperate with Xiyan."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so sincere, I have no reason to refuse." Of course you have to make money.
"How about the price according to Xiyan's purchase price?"
"good."
Xiyan's coal purchase price is the highest among the four countries.
The hidden guard handed over the contract.
Qian Fanji glanced at the contract for a few seconds, then picked up his pen, signed it, and stamped it with his personal seal.
"Boss Qian, there's something I'm not clear about. Could you please help me figure it out?" Xiliuyuan took back the contract and folded it up.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Xiao Wang knows that Miss Ye is General Xiang's abandoned child, but I don't know why she calls General Zhan, Boss Qian and Boss Gu dad?" Xiliuyuan asked.
