As Xie Lingqin watched the two figures disappear into the distance, she felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through her mind.
Do they really think her life doesn't matter?
Then, a gust of wind blew by, and Xie Lingqin, her face stiff and cold, looked at the dagger in her hand.
Throw it away?
It's a real shame, the workmanship is truly exquisite and the materials used are truly top-notch.
Not throwing it away?
Are we saving it for the New Year?
Forget it, just manage the money.
So Xie Lingqin tore off a section of her inner garment sleeve, wiped the dagger clean, and quickly bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding.
Okay, now it's balanced, one cut on each arm.
However, as she flicked her wrist, Xie Lingqin's fingertips slightly twitched.
Just now, when I caught the dagger, I think I touched the prince's hand... fingers.
So cold, like jade, chilling to the bone.
...
On the long street, the moonlight was like water.
"Your Highness, that dagger was a gift from Master Sengyun, who said it was extremely rare. You... don't want it?"
After hesitating and considering it carefully, Tingfeng asked in a low voice.
Yuwen Yao paused slightly. "You saw me throw it away?"
"Huh? Um... but you didn't take it back."
"Put it aside for now."
Yuwen Yao uttered two words, lightly flicked his fingers, a cold yet alluring glint flashing in his eyes, and walked forward.
Listening to the wind, he was completely baffled.
Temporarily put?
The Crown Prince's residence is so big, how could it not fit a dagger?
besides……
Forget it, I'd better not say anything more. The prince's heart is as unfathomable as the bottom of the sea.
...
Xie Lingqin was standing in front of an old house on South Street.
The vermilion paint showed signs of damage, and the bronze lock on the door was rusty.
Under the cover of night, it has an even more ancient and dilapidated feel to it.
I raised my hand and knocked lightly on the door.
When the door opened, a sweet and lovely young girl was there.
She wasn't exactly a young girl; she was about the same age as her, dressed in a plain-colored outfit, with dark and bright eyes and eyebrows.
The young woman glanced at the handsome man in front of her, her face flushing slightly. "Young master, may I ask who you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for Bai Yu."
"You're looking for my brother."
elder brother?
"Yes." Xie Lingqin nodded slightly.
"Then come in first, my brother is inside." The girl led Xie Lingqin inside and called out, "Brother, come quickly, we have a guest."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Yu was seen walking from another path.
She yawned as she walked, and when she saw Xie Lingqin, she waved and said, "You're here really early."
“It’s urgent, it has to be done.” Xie Lingqin said, glancing around with obvious disdain. “Such a grand mansion, and you’ve ruined it like this. There’s nothing of value around, and the plants aren’t even tended to…” Xie Lingqin shook her head. “It’s truly a waste of resources.”
"Anyway, there's no room for everyone." Bai Yu didn't stand on ceremony and gestured for Xie Lingqin to follow him.
“Brother…” The girl who had just been following behind looked at Bai Yu with expectant eyes.
"Oh, this is my sister, Bai Ling. This one... is called Yan She. He's not a good person. You should stay away from him." As she spoke, Bai Yu walked forward.
Bai Ling was left standing there, staring at Xie Lingqin's retreating figure, her face seemingly turning even redder.
My brother is lying; he's clearly a very well-mannered young master.
"I thought your family was deserted. I never imagined you had a younger sister," Xie Lingqin said as they walked through a long corridor.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu immediately became agitated upon hearing this, her face turning red and then pale. "I said, don't you dare lay a finger on my sister..."
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched slightly. Spending even a moment longer with this Bai Yu made her want to hit him.
She doesn't share the same hobby.
However, Bai Yu was unaware that she was a woman.
Following Bai Yu into a study, Bai Yu handed her a few pages of paper, full of confidence, "Here, as you said, after some selection, these are the best locations. I've also marked the prices, advantages, and disadvantages. You just need to choose carefully and you can finalize the deal."
Xie Lingqin took the paper from Bai Yu. She hadn't misjudged him. Bai Yu was very familiar with the capital. She had already considered these areas when she was strolling around before.
Not only that, he also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of these locations.
“However, I have to say…” Bai Yu crossed her arms, looking earnest, “It’s not that I don’t think highly of you. You’ve heard, haven’t you? The prosperity of Southern Qi, the domineering nature of Western Xia, and the ferocity of the barbarians, none of them can compare to the wealth of Northern Rong. In the capital of Northern Rong, there’s nothing that they don’t sell. That thing you mentioned, Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot), it’s really good.”
"If you believe it, that's fine." Xie Lingqin nodded with a smile.
That's right, she's going to open a hot pot restaurant in Beirong Jingcheng.
No, it's a Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) restaurant, and we plan to expand it to the whole world in the future.
She wanted to get rich first, then gain power.
"Let's go with this place. First, find someone with a clean record to talk to the other party. Remember, they must be sincere." Xie Lingqin's finger finally landed on a spot.
"Hehe." Bai Yu glanced at the place Xie Lingqin was pointing to. "You really have a big eye. The location there is indeed good and very prosperous. However, right across from it is the most bustling restaurant in the entire capital."
"Yes, that's why we need to leverage external resources."
Bai Yu waved his hand, disagreeing, "Don't think so simply, kid. Let's not even talk about how good your Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) shop, which I've never even heard of, is. If it really does well, will the restaurant across the street just watch its business get stolen?"
"Then let me ask you this: if my hot pot restaurant can also bring him customers, would he still worry about me stealing his business?"
You should know that Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) and restaurants never fight.
If handled well, it can be a win-win situation.
Bai Yu seemed not to understand, but nodded and chuckled, "Okay, I'll handle it. However, the owner of this land is an oddball. Let's see if he can take action."
