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 those 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 can't redeem themselves. If they were to wander around, they would just be bought and sold like merchandise. I run this place to provide them with a place to stay. If I just sell Tianxiang Pavilion like this, I'm afraid it would be... 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's expression paused slightly, a little embarrassed, but she did not refute her.
"What if I tell them that after I buy this place they no longer have to entertain customers, 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 small 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 bone fan in her hand and gestured to her, "Managing my business for me will inevitably involve you in this kind of things. Think it over carefully. If you don't want to, there's no need to 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, Princess. As long as you are willing to release them from slavery, I will not take a penny from Tianxiang Pavilion. I will leave all my sisters in your care!"
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've made up my mind. There's no need to say more." Mu Hongling said calmly, then looked at Yun Qingqing. "However, I hope that Princess will write down the conditions I just mentioned. If you can't do it after one year, I have the right to reclaim the property."
"Great, deal." Yun Qingqing made the decision immediately.
When Mu Hongling took Mother Yu to get the property deeds and account books, Qiao'er smiled and said,
"You actually managed to acquire such a large business without spending a penny. You are truly 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 became even brighter.
If you insist on using the silver to buy Tianxiang Pavilion, most of the merit will be yours.
In her previous life, she was a powerful being who sacrificed herself to save the world. How could she be tempted to steal the merits of mortals?
"But Miss, why do you suddenly want to buy a shop? Your grandfather is the richest man in Jiangbei. If you need a shop, can't you just go to him? And this Tianxiang Pavilion...what can you do with this place?"
Qiao'er's face felt a little hot. This brothel was already famous. If people knew that the Regent Princess had become the owner here, what would happen?
"I bought this place because the timing, location, and people are perfect for me. As for it being a brothel..."
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, soon there won't be anyone alive who can remember this."
Qiao'er was confused:
"ah?"
At the corner downstairs, a certain prince who was eavesdropping on the conversation with his extraordinary hearing also became dazed.
...What does she want to do?
