"Of course it’s interesting, the Zhong Mansion has sothing interesting happening every day!"
Yin Xing laughed as she took the tea Lin Yuan poured for her. After drinking it in one gulp, she wiped her mouth and said with a smile, "According to your instructions, Young Master Zhong almost goes daily to greet the old lady, even during his nap ti. Just yesterday, he woke up the napping old lady, leaving her dizzy with anger, and she chased the young master out on the spot."
Lady Yun was not fond of Madam Ming, so naturally, she wasn’t fond of her son either. Previously, Zhong Xiaofei adhered to Madam Ming’s advice, maintaining etiquette in front of the old lady, never doing anything out of line, which is why Lady Yun had no additional feelings towards this little grandson.
But now it’s different. Since they’ve decided to leave with Xiao Fei, they first need Lady Yun and Zhong Yingming to be extrely disgusted with Zhong Xiaofei.
"Although it’s a necessary move, Xiao Fei is only six years old. Letting him do such things, I still feel sowhat guilty,"
Lin Yuan slightly frowned, thinking of that stubborn little boy, causing ripples in her heart.
He was about the sa age as Xiao Linshuang, a ti ant to be carefree, yet he had to get involved in the older generation’s entanglents.
Yin Xing quickly said, "Miss, it’s a temporary asure, and besides, I find Young Master Xiao Fei to be very clever. He understood after just one sentence from Xiao Huan, and later, he didn’t even need Xiao Huan, managing to trouble Lady Yun on his own!"
Speaking of this Zhong Xiaofei, he really is quite clever, doing things to trouble Lady Yun as if it’s second nature. Though he disrupted her nap, it left no room for bla; with his bright eyes, no one could bring themselves to reprimand him.
So, even though Lady Yun was thoroughly angered, she could only consider the child to be very unruly, unable to find any excuse to punish him.
"How is Madam Ming?"
"After taking Doctor Wang’s dicine, Madam’s condition is much better, and she can now stroll slowly around the room."
Yin Xing suddenly laughed, "Of course, credit also goes to the old lady’s bird’s nest and ginseng. I heard that because of these, the old lady was unwilling to eat properly for three days straight!"
Serves her right!
The Zhong family is laden with debts, yet this old lady won’t offer her dowry to pay them off and instead confiscates her daughter-in-law’s dowry.
Bear in mind, the person who absconded with a huge sum of money was the old lady’s relative!
Now she can’t stand to eat a little less of these delicacies, why doesn’t she look at what Madam Ming and those honest concubines in the mansion eat every day?
Speaking of Lady Yun, Lin Yuan was filled with disgust.
However, according to the clues provided by Xia Zheng, this old lady still has so valuables in her possession, if only they could be acquired...
Shaking her head, Lin Yuan thought she was being a bit naive. The previous accounts were clear, if Madam Ming let it go, she only needs to compensate Idle Tea House with sixty-five taels of silver.
Sixty-five taels of silver, Lady Yun could sell one of her estates for several hundred taels, she’d be a fool to use an estate to pay off debts.
However, there are always ways to get those good things, right?
"Is Zhong Yingming still the sa?"
Seeing Yin Xing nod, Lin Yuan gave a cold laugh: "I hear he had a very fine hobby when he was young. Find soone to set a trap, I’m quite interested in the estates in Lady Yun’s hands."
Having been by Lin Yuan’s side for a long ti, Yin Xing sowhat understood her master’s thods and intentions, and imdiately nodded in agreent: "Yes, I’ll have Lin Yi find a suitable person."
Since Madam Ming’s condition hasn’t fully recovered, there’s plenty of ti to do whatever she wants, Lin Yuan wasn’t in a hurry.
Yan Ruchun acted quickly, coming over excitedly first thing the next morning to drag Lin Yuan around to look at shop spaces.
"Look, these are the suitable store locations Boyu found for . Later, we’ll go check them out, and choose a suitable one to start renovations."
Lin Yuan yawned sleepily; she now regretted having Wei Boyu assist Yan Ruchun. Who would have thought Wei Boyu would be so efficient, finding suitable shops up for transfer in the Capital city overnight.
And there are so many!
Frowning and flipping through the four or five sheets Yan Ruchun handed over, they contained records of suitable shops in the Capital city, detailing the store nas, addresses, shopkeeper nas, transfer prices, and even the previous business status and reasons for transfer noted clearly.
