His expression suddenly turned melancholic. “Doesn’t Sister Ran like it here? Why would she want to find a new place to live?”
I smiled softly: “It’s good here, but it’s ultimately not my home. Now that my injury is almost healed, staying here would invite gossip!”
“Whoever dares to speak nonsense, I’ll drive them out of the mansion!” I saw the same firm determination on his pure face that he only showed when protecting Bei Ting Zi Han – a coldness inconsistent with his temperament.
Seven days later, I left the Biwater Villa’s courtyard with the green-feathered zither, also taking the maid Yue Rao, whom I had discussed with Yi Chen! I knew he would not refuse me! Although reluctant, he ultimately followed me!
I briefly surveyed the new residence. Though not large, it was elegant and satisfactory!
After settling everything, I took the new plan for tavern reform I had been studying and went out, with Yue Rao following closely behind, peeking and asking: “Miss, where are we going?”
I stopped suddenly, and she immediately bumped into me. Before I could speak, she covered her nose and complained: “Miss, what are you doing? You hurt Yue Rao!”
I rolled my eyes, feigning anger: “Look at you, becoming more and more disrespectful. You didn’t watch where you were going and now you’re blaming me? Should I apologize to you?”
The little maid lowered her head and stuck out her tongue: “Yue Rao doesn’t dare!”
“Doesn’t dare?” I suddenly raised my voice, my face cold: “What don’t you dare to do? I think you’re quite bold!”
At the entrance of Yu Huang Lou, the waiter saw me from afar and came forward with a joyful face, saying, “Miss, you’ve finally arrived! Our boss has been talking about you for days, sending me to wait outside and instructed me to immediately lead you to her as soon as you arrive!”
It seems this boss is also an impatient person. I found it amusing in my heart, but my face remained calm as water, and I smiled faintly, “Today, I am specifically here to see your boss!”
The waiter’s face visibly relaxed, and he said happily, “That’s wonderful!
Please follow me, miss, I’ll take you to the inner hall!”
