The servant went forward and opened the door, and saw Yudong in front, with a frail woman wearing a veil standing behind her.
Yu Dong also saw the servant and took two steps forward and said to him, "This is our young lady."
"Our master is already waiting inside." The servant smiled and took a step back, making way.
At this moment, he couldn't help but say "fortunately" in his heart. Originally, the young master had no plan to go out, knowing that no one would come to Ling Anbo's mansion. But the young master happened to have things to do, so he decided to sit here first and then go to do his business.
Unexpectedly, someone really came to Ling Anbo's mansion.
Qu Moying followed Yu Dong into the house and looked up at a young man sitting in front of the window. He was a young man in his twenties, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and deep and strong facial features. Even though he was wearing a brocade robe of a handsome young man, he exuded a feeling that made people feel different from a weak scholar.
His gaze also swept over and looked at Qu Moying.
Qu Moying was sure that he had never seen it before, but he felt unusually familiar with it, as if he had seen it before.
Qu Moying frowned and thought about the men she had met in her mind. In fact, she had not seen many men, just a few, but she was sure that none of them was the young man in front of her.
This young man is of a completely different type from King Pei Qingmin of Wei.
Strong, solid, and slightly darker in complexion.
The two people's eyes met silently under the veil. The difference was that Qu Moying saw the appearance of the person opposite him clearly, while the person opposite him could not see Qu Moying's appearance clearly. When he saw Qu Moying wearing a veil, he frowned silently and looked a little displeased.
Then he shifted his gaze and looked towards Yu Dong, but was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Dong. Although the stunned moment was fleeting, Qu Moying still caught that trace of stunned moment.
Has this person seen Yudong
"Since Miss is here, please take a seat." The young man stretched out his hand and led her to the side, but did not stand up.
Qu Moying came over and bowed before sitting down opposite. Yu Dong stood behind her, glanced at the young man, and then lowered his head.
"Excuse me, sir, are you the owner of the ruby in the Yuejin Pavilion incident?" Qu Moying suppressed the doubts in his mind and went straight to the point.
"Excuse me, young lady, who are you?" The young man did not respond directly, but asked instead.
"The owner of Yuejin Pavilion." Qu Moying said frankly. Although the formalities at the government office had not been completed, once this matter was settled, he would be the legitimate owner. And now Madam Duan also acknowledged his status as the owner. It seemed natural for him to say it in advance.
"I remember that the owner of Yuejin Pavilion is from the Ling'anbo Mansion. I wonder which lady of the Ling'anbo Mansion she is? As far as I know, none of the three ladies of the Ling'anbo Mansion should be her, right?" The young man said coldly, his eyes swept over Qu Moying with a bit of sharpness.
The three young ladies of the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion are known to everyone in the capital. The eldest young lady is now the concubine of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. The second young lady was originally the Crown Princess but is no longer with us. After the incident of the third young lady was exposed, no one knew what happened to her. Some said she was dead, while others said she escaped, and her age did not match.
Although Qu Moying looked immature, he was fourteen years old after all, so he was naturally different from Ji Yanyue who was only ten years old.
"I am not a young man from Ling Anbo's mansion.
Sister." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said calmly, "The owner of Yuejin Pavilion has been replaced by me, so I will be the one to negotiate with you about the following matters."
"What do you mean?" The young man narrowed his eyes dangerously and leaned back steadily, with some fierce momentum.
The young man in front of him didn't look like a wealthy businessman. To Qu Moying, he looked more like the son of an official family, and moreover, the son of a large aristocratic family. He had a certain demeanor when he walked.
As the future Crown Princess, Ji Hanyue had been trained very early on in every move, and the young man in front of her gave her the same feeling as she did back then.
Qu Moying could never believe that such a man could be a wealthy businessman.
When he entered the door just now, there was a small detail that also caught Qu Moying's attention. Yuejin Pavilion belonged to the Ling'anbo Mansion. When he entered the door just now, no matter who saw him, they would definitely think that he was from the Ling'anbo Mansion. As a businessman, when he met a lady from a noble family, he had to stand up to greet her.
Merchants make money by being harmonious. Even if someone is plotting to take over Madam Duan's property, they will certainly greet him with a smile. This is the way of life they have been taught since childhood. How could they sit there so openly
This demeanor and appearance are definitely not that of an ordinary person, so the so-called plan to seize the property of the Ling Anbo Mansion is not as simple as he thought.
"Mrs. Duan has already sold the store to me." Qu Moying said bluntly.
"There are still unfinished cases in this store, young lady, how dare you take it?" The young man narrowed his eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes and fell on Qu Moying's veil.
However, he couldn't see the face underneath the veil, he could only vaguely see that it was a woman with good looks.
"Although this store belongs to Mrs. Duan now, it is reasonable for Mrs. Duan to buy it for me. Originally, it belonged to my maternal grandfather." Qu Moying said frankly.
This matter cannot be deceived. Since she has accepted this task, she is not afraid of her identity being discovered by the other party.
Taking over Yuejinge also means taking over this troublesome matter.
"Mr. Zhao's ruby is indeed a treasure, but it is impossible to ask the entire Yuejin Pavilion to buy it. Mr. Zhao, please make other requests. If I can meet your requirements, I will definitely do it." Qu Moying once again stated his purpose straight to the point.
"Miss, do you think this is reasonable? The government office should not have officially transferred the shop yet, right?" Young Master Zhao asked with a cold smile.
"It's true that there is no official document from the government, but Madam Duan and I have completed the handover. Yuejin Pavilion is now mine. The government has also filled in some formalities, but there are still some procedures that have not been completed. I have to wait until this case is completely settled before I can completely transfer it. So now I need to solve the problem with Master Zhao first."
Qu Moying did not hide the truth. Since Mr. Zhao said so, he must know about it. There would be no point in hiding it any further.
It is true that her position as a shop owner is somewhat unjustified to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent. If Mr. Zhao insists on using this aspect to make a point, she can also stop considering herself as the owner of Yuejinge and only see herself as the representative of Madam Duan.
Take full charge of this matter.
Because this store will be his own in the future, he, as the representative, can have all the autonomy and does not need to ask Duan Fu for help.
People ask again.
The contract is half completed. The completed part is the part transferred by Mrs. Duan. Now the only part left is the part confirmed by the government.
Young Master Zhao fixed his gaze on Qu Moying and examined her again, frowning slightly. His words sounded calm, but they stopped him from saying anything he had prepared. He was really surprised that she acted so flawlessly.
This young lady looked extremely delicate, almost frail. When she entered the room just now, wind blew through the door, lifting her long veil and her dress, making her look like an ethereal being. A woman like this looked like someone who should be carefully kept in a boudoir.
"What do you want to do, young lady?" Young Master Zhao asked slowly, acknowledging Qu Moying's identity.
"What do you think, Mr. Zhao? I think since you are here in Beijing to do business, it would be best if you are friendly and make money. If you need Yuejin Pavilion to do anything, I will definitely cooperate if I can. However, I really cannot give Yuejin Pavilion to Mr. Zhao. It is a shop passed down from our ancestors and it cannot be measured by money."
Qu Moying smiled slightly and spoke softly, feeling a little relieved. Since Mr. Zhao asked this, it meant that this was probably what he had thought of before.
All the previous ones were guesses. No matter how many guesses there were, they might not be accurate. But now it gave her a reassurance.
Mr. Zhao tapped his fingers twice on the table, thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand what you mean, Miss, but I need to think about this matter carefully."
"Okay, if Mr. Zhao has made up his mind next time, he can go to Yuejin Pavilion and inform the shopkeeper." Qu Moying stood up. Today's incident was originally a test for everyone. Since the other party came with intentions, it was naturally impossible to get things done all at once. Qu Moying could foresee that after Mr. Zhao returned, he would contact the Xiao family to find out the truth of the matter.
The shop that I had originally favored had changed owners, and no one could easily agree to it.
"Okay, thank you for your help, miss." Mr. Zhao nodded, agreeing to discuss the matter next time.
Qu Moying said goodbye to him and left with Yu Dong. Master Zhao stood up, walked to the window, looked down, and saw Qu Moying coming down from upstairs and getting on the carriage parked on the side. His eyes were deep and mysterious.
"Master, who is this young lady?" The servant came over and looked down curiously, and saw the back of the Qu Mansion's carriage.
"Go check, there shouldn't be many young ladies wearing veils in the capital who are surnamed Qu!" Young Master Zhao looked at the back of Qu Moying's carriage. He could see clearly that the sign of the Qu Mansion was very obvious on the carriage. Qu Mansion? He had just come to the capital and was not familiar with some of the less famous families in the capital.
The fact that she was able to obtain Yuejinge from Ling Anbo's first wife, Mrs. Duan, and that it was a legacy passed down from her ancestors, and that she dared to take over the shop even though she knew the case was not over, showed that this young lady was not an ordinary person and should not just be the daughter of that merchant family.
From the looks of it, she looks more like a young lady carefully nurtured by a noble family.
Is this what the daughter of a noble family carefully cultivated by the Great Zhou Kingdom looks like? She is completely different from the weak and frail girl in one's imagination, who needs help every few steps. She looks so frail that one would want to hold her in the palm of one's hand, but her behavior is indescribably sharp, straightforward, and calculating...
