Xiao Qi Feng had a lot of matters on hand so he did not stay for long here. When it was nearly time, he left the Great General’s Residence and left Xiao Qi Tian behind.
The three of them discussed some details and Qiao Tian Chang called for Lei An and the others to call back the soldiers who previously returned to their hometown. He would give them a body examination at that time and after that, he would head to White Mountain Village.
Time was needed after all to build.
When Qiao Tian Chang arranged all of these, Ning Meng Yao drew what the room needed to be like and handed it to Qing Xuan. “Qing Xuan, I’ll leave this matter to you. Watch the construction operation together with Uncle Jiang.”
“Yes, Young Missy.”
Seeing this, Xiao Qi Tian said, “Qing Xuan, don’t rush with this. Go after I obtain the land deed.” From what Ning Meng Yao said, she needed a lot of land and he was afraid they needed to give it more thoughts.
Qing Xuan’s gaze landed on Ning Meng Yao. He agreed only when Ning Meng Yao nodded her head.
Xiao Qi Feng was in grief, was he condemning him?
“I have to get things done quickly. I can’t wait to see the store open for business,” Xiao Qi Tian said in excitement.
Ning Meng Yao nodded and she was not anxious. “Go on.”
Qing Xue looked at Ning Meng Yao and suddenly started to talk, “Young Missy, do you think we can open a grocery store? We can sell some sort of snacks in it.”
Ning Meng Yao looked at Qing Xue. “You want to?”
“We do.” A few people nodded at the same time.
“You guys can do it on your own.” She handed to them what she knew. Since they wanted to open a store, they can do as they see fit.
The eyes of Qing Xue and the others lit up as they looked at Ning Meng Yao. “Young Missy, it’s decided then.”
“Yes, I’ll fork out the money to open a store. The profits will be divided among all of you as your dowry and betrothal gifts.”
Qing Xuan, who originally planned to leave, staggered in his track and almost fell. Was he being targeted without doing anything?
Qing Xue, Qing Zhu, and the others stared at Ning Meng Yao speechlessly. Why did she suddenly say that? But it was really interesting to see Qing Xuan looking as if she was struck by lightning.
Staring at Qing Xue and the others who were rejoicing at someone else’s misfortune, Qing Xuan stood calmly and turned to leave.
“Don’t feel embarrassed about it. You have to get married if you find someone you love. Actually, I think that Qing Shuang and Nan Yu fits quite well together,” Ning Meng Yao suddenly spoke of the two who were recently sticking together every day.
Qing Xue and the others covered their mouths and secretly laughed. The both of them were indeed close together these days. So what if Young Missy made fun of them when she had nothing to do? Qing Xue smiled evilly at the thought of that and she looked forward to the facial expression on Qing Shuang when that time comes.
Qing Shuang, who was studying the venomous worms with Nan Yu, suddenly sneezed very loudly followed by a few continuous sneezes.
Qing Shuang frowned slightly and had doubts in her heart. Did she catch a cold?
Nan Yu asked seeing her frown, “Are you alright?”
“I’m alright, I might have caught a cold. Let’s carry on.” Qing Shuang shook her head and did not mind at all. She continued analyzing the deadly worm in Nan Yu’s hands.
Nan Yu squinted his eyes and earnestly looked at Qing Shuang who was looking at the deadly worm in his hands and thoughts flashed through his eyes.
“What are you thinking about?” Qing Shuang called him a few times but he did not answer. She reached her hand out and waved it in front of Nan Yu.
Nan Yu got back to his senses and carried a deceptive smile on his ice-cold face.
“It’s nothing, let’s carry on.” Nan Yu lowered his head to look at the deadly worm in his hand. Qing Shuang blinked seeing him like that but did not mind. She carried on the topic with Nan Yu.
But afterwards, Nan Yu looked at Qing Shuang more than the deadly worm in his hands.
“Are both of them still locking themselves in a room to analyze the deadly worm?” Ning Meng Yao ate the soup Grandmother Qin stewed and asked with her eyebrows raised.
Qing Xue nodded. “Yes, they’re seriously analyzing almost to the point of skipping their sleep and meals.”
An evil smile flashed past Ning Meng Yao’s eyes. She called for Qing Xue and the others and whispered something to their ears.
Qing Xue was startled as she looked at Ning Meng Yao. “Young Missy, are you sure Qing Shuang would not seek revenge afterwards?”
“Even if she did, she wouldn’t dare to do so to me.” Ning Meng Yao was unbothered as she gestured with her hands. She totally ignored Qing Xue’s puzzled face.
