Qu Moying did not go back home directly, but went to the teahouse where he had tea last time.
Before, Yu Dong saw a maid receiving silver. After she scolded and threatened her a few times, the maid told her everything, which saved her a lot of trouble.
There are still two shops opposite, one is a gold jewelry store and the other is a clothing store. The gold jewelry store in the Prince's Mansion is getting taller and taller, while the clothing store on the other side also looks very good. It can be said that they complement each other. You can buy fabrics or ready-made clothes, as well as many clothes-related accessories in the clothing store. Then you can buy some precious accessories such as jewelry in the gold jewelry store.
It's a rare opportunity to come out, so naturally I want to get things done in one go.
Yu Qian is the owner of a clothing store. Everyone in the store calls him Shopkeeper Yu. He has been running this clothing store for so many years and can be considered a good manager. Apart from some small hobbies, he is generally a very capable person and has made a lot of money for the Yu family over the years.
He looked very blessed, and was well-fed. Yu was also very nice to him, and gave him many benefits.
As a member of the remote clan of the Yu family, he has been valued by the Yu family and has been used smoothly for so many years. He must have his own unique qualities, and he is also extremely loyal to the clan.
Even though Yu was having a hard time in the Qu Mansion now, he still recognized Yu as his master. Whenever he made money, he would give it to Yu first. In the past, he would also try to please Yu. But now he could not see Yu, and even the banknotes he sent in were delivered to the third young lady.
It wasn't that he doubted the Third Miss, he just felt that the Third Miss was a lot harder to talk to than the Madam, and he did have something he wanted to ask the Madam for help with recently.
Although Madam's life in Qu Mansion was not very good, ever since the last incident in Prince's Mansion, people have been saying that Madam was cruel and harsh to her ex-wife's legitimate daughter, and then Madam fell ill. Yu Qian hadn't seen Yu for a long time.
He walked out of the shop listlessly, looked out the door, and didn't see anyone he wanted to see. Yu Qian sighed again.
He had previously wanted to let the servants of the Qu Mansion secretly pass the message to the Madam. Even if it wasn't the Madam herself, Aunt Hailan, who was by her side, would do.
Several days had passed since the message was delivered, but no one from the Qu Mansion had been seen. Yu Qian became more and more listless. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly saw a familiar person coming across the street. He quickly turned around and pretended not to see him, wanting to go back to the shop.
Unexpectedly, that person was also sharp-eyed. When he saw Yu Qian hiding inside, he immediately ran a few steps and shouted, "Manager Yu, Manager Yu."
Yu Qian wanted to pretend he didn't see anything, but the man's voice was so loud that even the shop assistants heard it and turned around to look at him.
He could only stop, trying hard to force a smile, and turned to look at the person who came: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Shopkeeper Lu."
Shopkeeper Lu’s shop was not far from his, and its size was smaller than his, but the two men had one thing in common: this one was also Qu Mansion’s shop.
Qu Moying was sitting in front of the window and saw the equally plump Shopkeeper Lu holding Yu Qian's hand affectionately, and the corners of her lips curled up silently. She had always asked Yu Dong to keep an eye on this side, but she didn't expect that she really discovered some extraordinary things. No matter whether it was Yu Qian or the current Shopkeeper Lu, they were all Yu's confidants.
Moreover, both of their shops were my mother's shops, but now
All of them were registered under the name of the Yu family, and all the profits were handed over to the Yu family openly.
Yu probably didn't want to spare Qu Moying's life, so none of the money from these shops with good profits went to Qu Moying. All the money went into Yu's hands, and it was very natural without any cover-up.
To the outside world, Yu claimed that these shops belonged to the Qu family or even to her.
And the shopkeepers under her also believed it firmly.
The two people at the moment both think that the richest person in the Qu Mansion is the Yu family. As long as Yu family gives them a little bit of money, it will be enough for them to solve all their problems. Unfortunately, they can't see Yu family now, so the originally small matter will become a big deal.
The bribed old woman seemed to act quite quickly. I didn't bring Yudong out today so that he could handle the matter, and this was just the right time.
"Manager Lu, is there anything I can do for you?" Downstairs in the teahouse, Yu Qian smiled and looked like he was joking, as if he just wanted to get through the door quickly.
"Shopkeeper Yu, the money you mentioned before..." Shopkeeper Lu has come here several times recently, but has never met Yu Qian in person. This time he finally saw him and got straight to the point.
It was extremely embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing in public. Yu Qian was anxious and came up to grab Shopkeeper Lu's hand and said, "Come on, let's go have some tea and talk first."
As he said this, he pulled Shopkeeper Lu towards the teahouse opposite.
Qu Moying saw them going up to the teahouse from upstairs, and lowered his eyes slightly: "Let's go and take a look."
Yuchun nodded, walked to the door smartly, opened it a little, looked outside, and sure enough, she heard voices coming from the stairs. Then she saw the two shopkeepers asking for a private room and going in. It seemed that they were going to discuss business inside.
"Miss, he's in, and the door is closed." Yu Chun turned around to report. Coincidentally, the private room was just diagonally opposite theirs.
"Are there people in the two rooms next to each other?" Qu Moying put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"There is no one in one room. I looked at the room on the right. The door was open and it looked like no one was there." Yu Chun looked carefully just now. That room was just behind the one the two people entered. One had to enter the room where the two people entered first, then the room behind it.
Qu Moying stood up and gently pushed the cup on the table. The cup flipped over, immediately wetting the table top, then rolled to the edge of the table, fell heavily and broke.
"Please give us an empty room. This one is in such a mess. Clean it up." Yu Chun understood the situation and walked outside. He beckoned a waiter over and handed him a piece of silver.
Looking at the silver in his hand, the waiter smiled and nodded repeatedly, then led them to the room they had liked before and served them tea again before leaving.
It's just a piece of silver. Not to mention breaking just one cup, even if all the snack plates inside were smashed, it wouldn't be that much.
Qu Moying sat down again, leaning against a wooden board.
These private rooms are separated by wooden boards, and the sound insulation is not very good. If you speak louder, people will hear it.
The two people inside were not speaking loudly at the moment, and seemed to be discussing something. It was difficult to hear clearly. Qu Moying lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, then slowly put it down, closed his eyes and listened quietly.
Her eyes closed and her hearing became clear.
After a few minutes, a few words, neither light nor heavy, fell into her ears.
"I really don't have any money." Yu Qian's voice.
"It's been so long. If we don't have money, we'll both be in trouble. Can't you see the lady?" Shopkeeper Lu said anxiously. He reached out and took a peanut from the table. He threw it into his mouth, but found it tasteless. He spat it out again, feeling very upset. "Why don't you return the money to me first and figure out a way to deal with it yourself?"
"I really have no money now." Yu Qian spread his hands.
"If you have no money, go to Madam. To Madam, all your money is nothing. You are Madam's brother from her mother's family, and you are different from the rest of us." Shopkeeper Lu said unhappily, "If you delay any longer, I will really be in trouble. When they find out, I am not Madam's relative. If I don't make this clear and Madam misunderstands, it will be bad."
"Madam, please don't misunderstand. I will explain to you when the time comes." Yu Qian said hurriedly.
"You can't even see the madam, why are you still talking about this? I heard that the two young ladies are in charge of the mansion now." Shopkeeper Lu was not really ignorant. He reached out and pulled Yu Qian's sleeve, "Return the money in my shop to me first. I need to buy goods now. At the beginning, you said that you would postpone it for a few days. Now several days have passed and you still can't pay it back. I can't buy any more goods."
Shopkeeper Lu also regretted why he lent the money to Yu Qian at that time. Now he couldn't get it back. He was so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep well. He was afraid that something bad would happen. He had been scared recently. In fact, he had helped Yu Qian with such things before, but Yu Qian would pay it back on time every time and nothing had ever happened.
But this time it was delayed for too long.
"I... I just have a few days, just a few days... It will be quick... Brother, help me again... Just a few days, I will go find Madam, if that doesn't work, I will find Miss Three... I will definitely pay you back." Yu Qian's forehead was sweating, and he said hurriedly, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, laughing to cover it up, "It's getting hot lately, it's almost summer."
"Are you really only here for these few days?" Shopkeeper Lu asked seriously.
"Yes, it will only take a few days. It will be quick. Don't worry, it will not be delayed any longer this time." Yu Qian said hurriedly.
"Brother, it's just these few days. If you delay any longer, I really can't take care of you. When I went to report the bill a few days ago, Miss San asked me about the purchase of goods. I said I would purchase them in the next few days, but I didn't make a good choice at the moment. If there is another accident, I... I can only give you up."
Shopkeeper Lu confirmed again.
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no mistakes this time. There will be no mistakes again. Nothing will happen." Yu Qian was now delaying for a while, and he was just short of swearing to the sky. His voice couldn't help but become excited.
Seeing how honest he spoke, Manager Lu had no choice but to trust him again. After all, he was a relative of the lady, wasn't he
Having said this, Shopkeeper Lu did not stay any longer. He said goodbye and left, leaving Yu Qian alone sitting inside, drinking tea. After drinking for a while, he felt bored and asked the waiter to go downstairs and buy him a pot of wine. He sat inside and drank it alone. The more he drank, the more upset he became.
Speaking of this, it was really an accident. This matter happened a month ago. At that time, he really didn't think it was a troublesome matter. No one thought that this was a trivial matter...
