478 Guessed It (3)

Shen Miao was a capable person.

Hong Ling brought Shen Miao to the pavilion inside. Jingzhe and Gu Yu followed behind. Shen Miao asked, “I heard that the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop reopened not long ago. Two years ago…”

“Two years ago, something happened to the shopkeeper’s family. He closed his shop and returned to his hometown. Not long ago, he returned to the capital.” Hong Ling smiled and continued, “Speaking of which, Miss is the first old customer we received in our pawnshop.”

Shen Miao thought for a moment and nodded with a smile. When they arrived at the small pavilion, Hong Ling said, “I will go and call the shopkeeper now. Miss, sit here and rest for a while.” With that, she left.

There were plums and tea on the table, and the incense was wafting. This elegant room was exactly the same as before. A shop as big as the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop that had not been doing business for two years was actually still running. It did not look like it was rented to someone else.

Before Shen Miao could finish her tea, the sound of someone pushing the door open came from outside. She put down the teacup and saw someone walking in with a smile.

This person still had a baby face, but after two years, he looked a little mature. However… Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu who was dressed in loud clothes and thought that he was probably the only person in the capital who had the guts to dress like that.

When Ji Yushu pushed open the door and saw Shen Miao, his eyes lit up. Without holding back, he praised, “I originally thought that Miss Shaoyao was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. Now, it seems that Miss Shen is not inferior either. It’s been two years since we last met, and Miss Shen has become even more beautiful. I can’t find words to praise you.”

Hearing this, Jingzhe and Gu Yu both looked displeased. Ji Yushu’s words were like a hooligan catcalling a girl on the street.

Shen Miao smiled. “Shopkeeper Ji is richer than before.” She sized up Ji Yushu’s fancy clothes.

Ji Yushu sat down opposite Shen Miao and poured himself a cup of tea. He looked very happy, as if he was really happy to be reunited with her. He said, “I didn’t expect Miss Shen to still remember me. I heard that General Shen has just returned to the capital. Instead of visiting your friends, Miss Shen came to meet me. You really treat me as someone you trust. I’m very touched.”

Shen Miao was speechless. Last night, she had just met someone annoying, and now another one came. Shen Miao felt a headache coming on. Moreover, Ji Yushu said it with a serious expression, as if he really thought that Shen Miao was close to him.

Shen Miao coughed lightly. “Actually, I came today to do business with Shopkeeper Ji. I just returned to the capital and don’t know many things. I have to rely on All Knowing Scholar.”

Ji Yushu was stunned for a moment before saying, “Doing business? That’s easy. If Miss Shen wants to know anything, All Knowing Scholar will naturally do his best. As for the money, since I’m friends with Miss Shen, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”

Shen Miao smiled. “Money is not the issue, but the business I want to do with you this time is not easy.”

Ji Yushu said, “Miss Shen, you’re really funny. What can be harder than creating a fake rumor to bring down Prince Yu?”
