Chapter 251 - Teach A Lesson
" Young Miss, this one is back " carrying a small pouch that was bulging like a hamster's cheeks filled with peanuts, Hong Xui walked inside her young lady's room. Her simple skirt fluttered in the air with her small steps, even though she was just sixteen, her every single movement was filled with grace because her every action dictated her young miss's status.
" You are back Hong 'er ?" Yu Meng who was sitting on her bed with her back against the headboard, looked up from the book she was reading when she heard Hong Xui call her, she closed the book and adjusted the shawl on her shoulders before getting down her bed and walking towards Hong Xui, her round eyes focused on the pouch that Hong Xui was holding " what's this? Did Mrs Lin give you some other trinkets to bring ?"
" No, young lady " Hong Xui shook her head as she placed? the pouch on her young miss's palm " Mrs Lin husband was the one who gave me this, he said that he hopes that we can look for a proper storefront in the capital and get ready for business as soon as possible or else if their shop's products get copied before the branch of their shop reached the capital then they will not be able to face the consequences "
" He is a smart man " murmured Yu Meng in appreciation, emptying the pouch on her bed - she counted the silver taels that Lin Chen had sent to them as a starting fund for their shop in the capital " to think they were able to earn more than hundred taels, this business that your young lady is interested in, is not that bad - Don't you think so too Hong 'er? "
" My lady is wise " praised Hong Xui without batting an eye " if My lady's business flourishes then even if Lord doesn't want to accept your talents he have to take a step back. Earning a hundred tael in just a day is not an easy task, even the most doted second master, your uncle cannot accomplish it "
" Hong'er you have crossed your boundaries. Be mindful of your words " said Yu Meng though her words were reproaching, her eyes were smiling as she played with the silver in her hands " but you are not wrong, to have his legitimate daughter be engaged to a fool only father would be blind enough to trust Aunt Liu so much, she is just a concubine but she is daring enough to stretch her hands all the way to the daughter of the official wife. Its time for me to teach her a lesson "
" Young lady is wise " chimed Hong Xui at once " but my lady what will you do about the engagement with the third young master of the Dong family ?"
"Isn't there my second sister, the apple of Aunt Liu's eyes? She will be the one taking care of this matter. After all, we are one family, as the daughter of the Yu family it's her responsibility to help her sister and family in time of need " sneered Yu Meng coldly before pouring all the silver back in the pouch and tying it up " Aunt Liu has worked really hard, as her Di daughter I can at least do this much. Because with her daughter ' shu ' status, there is no way she will ever be able to marry a legitimate Di young master in the capital, aren't I just helping her pave a way for the future ?"
" Young miss is right " Hong Xui agreed once again, this time she didn't even bother about opening her closed eyes. She already knew that even though her young lady looked kind, she was like a beast hiding her fangs - though her young lady allowed Concubine Liu to find trouble with her every now and then, Hong Xui knew that her lady wasn't just a soft persimmon and one day her young lady would retaliate against Concubine Liu with complete interest. Looks like the opportunity for which her young lady was waiting finally arrived.
" Call Captain Du, tell him that we will be leaving for the capital tomorrow morning " Yu Meng wanted to stay for a few more days with her grandfather but the situation in the capital was hectic, Lin Chen was right - now, that the products of Zhimei shop were becoming popular the chances of replicas were higher than before, it would be better for her to start looking for a good storefront in the capital as soon as possible and launch these products " And leave Hong Cui behind -tell her to wait for our letter, once we ask her to bring Zhimei 's products, she should do it as soon as possible and bring them to the capital. She will be in charge of safely bringing those products to the capital "
" as you wish my lady " bowing Hong Xui walked out of Yu Meng's courtyard calling for Captain Du and Hong Cui.
-
Su Wan and Lin Chen didn't know that their actions have caused quite a ruckus at? Yu Meng's grandfather's mansion. Unlike Captain Du who was running around the Yu mansion because he was responsible for safely escorting his young lady, the two of them were lazying around in their restaurant on the docks. After finishing up with their work, the two of them came to find Lin Yan who was busy at the restaurant.
" Wan Wan, you are here ?" Lin Yan who was busy in the kitchen immediately came out to the dining area when he heard that his wife have come to their family's restaurant. Because he was working in the kitchen, his shirt was loosely tied exposing his sharp collar bone. He had also started tying his hair in a long ponytail exposing his cold yet handsome face, thus when he walked to Su Wan's table he was a sight to behold.
" Yeah we are here to eat dinner, " said Su Wan as she feasted on the good looks of her husband , this was it - ah , she could feel her hp rising again !
