Chapter 441: Doting on Her Grandson (4)
Madam Li was furious. This kid was too arrogant!
“Aiya, don’t keep talking to my good grandson!” The Old Madam was unhappy. She hadn’t even said enough. Why was this niece-in-law so blind? Didn’t she see that her face was already saying “Hurry up and leave without disturbing me and my good grandson”?
Madam Li wanted to ask more, but Old Madam chased her away.
The old madam saw that his good grandson was irritated and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
!!Yan Jiuchao snorted. “She keeps staring at me. I don’t like it.”
The old madam said without thinking, “Then I don’t like it either! We won’t see her anymore!”
Madam Li’s plan to find another chance to investigate the truth was killed just like that.
“Aunt w.a.n.g.” On the way back to the West Manor, Madam Li kept thinking about Yan Jiuchao.
“What’s wrong, Madam?” Aunt w.a.n.g asked.
“Don’t you think that child looks familiar, as if you’ve seen him somewhere before?” The more Madam Li thought about it, the more she felt that way, especially that pair of eyes.
How could Aunt w.a.n.g dare to look her master in the eye? She only said, “He’s from the Helian family after all. It’s no wonder that you think he looks familiar.”
“Is that so?” Madam Li felt that those weren’t the Helian family’s eyes. Whose were they? Madam Li couldn’t remember.
… .
On the busy street, a carriage stopped in front of a lively pavilion. On a golden plaque, three big words were written—Juxian Restaurant.
Yu Wan lifted the curtain and took a look. “This is where Grandma asked us to come?”
“Yes.” Qing Yan jumped off the carriage and reached out to help Yu Wan.
Jiang Hai coldly blocked his hand and handed over his arm. Yu Wan did not care about Jiang Hai’s small actions, but she did not hold his arm. She easily jumped down at this height. Qing Yan snorted in amus.e.m.e.nt. Jiang Hai ignored him and silently retracted his hand, handing the carriage to the doorman of Juxian Restaurant.
In order to facilitate travel, Yu Wan changed into men’s clothes and waved a folding fan in her hand, looking like an elegant young master. Since Helian Beiming had changed her name, she was Young Master Yan. She swaggered into Juxian Restaurant.
A waiter came up to them with a smile. “Young Masters, you don’t look familiar. Is this your first time at our Juxian Restaurant?”
Yu Wan lowered her voice and said, “Yes, it’s the first time, but I’m not here to eat. I’m here to ask you for information.”
“Ask for information?” The waiter was stunned.
Yu Wan waved her folding fan and said, “I heard that you can buy information here, right?”
The waiter smiled. “Yes, we have many customers from all over the country. We’re well-informed. You don’t have to pay for it. As long as we know, we’ll tell you when the customers ask.”
If that was the case, then this shop was too good at doing business, right? However, when she thought about it, they did not lose anything. They only exchanged a few pieces of information, but they were willing to buy an expensive table of food and drinks. They still earned money.
The waiter smiled and said, “Do you want to sit in the hall or the room upstairs?”
Yu Wan said, “The room.” Her family had a mine and did not lack money!
The waiter led the three of them upstairs. Juxian Restaurant’s business was booming. There was only one room left. The lowest expenditure was fifty taels. Yu Wan did not even blink and booked the room.
They entered the room.
Yu Wan said to the waiter, “If there’s any good wine and dishes you’re good at, feel free to bring them over.”
The waiter nodded vigorously. “Yes! Yes! I’ll go now!”
It was rare to see customers who did not bargain these days! The waiter left eagerly.
Not long after, a large table of fine wine and delicacies was served one after another. It had to be said that it was not unreasonable for people to spend so much in Juxian Restaurant. Just the taste of this table of dishes was comparable to the imperial banquet in the palace.
The three of them, who originally had ulterior motives, were stuffed.
Looking at the large table of plates that had been swept away by the wind, Yu Wan finally did not forget about tonight’s business. She called over the waiter from before and asked him, “I heard that there’s a Fire Lingzhi in the Capital. I wonder if it’s true.”
“Fire Lingzhi…” The waiter looked troubled.
Yu Wan threw him a silver ingot. The waiter’s eyes darted around.
Yu Wan threw him another gold ingot. The waiter hugged the gold and silver and said to Yu Wan, “You have to ask our shopkeeper about this. Young Master, wait a moment. I’ll call the shopkeeper over now!”
The shopkeeper came quickly and cupped his hands at the person in the room.
“Alright, alright. There’s no need for formalities.” Yu Wan knocked on the table with her folding fan. “I’m here to ask about the Fire Lingzhi.”
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, “The Fire Lingzhi has been sold.”
Yu Wan frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
The shopkeeper said, “Oh, originally, the Fire Lingzhi was the treasure of Chunhui Hall. Then, a rich young master bought it and gave it to the courtesan of Paramount, Dong Xian’er. If Young Master wants this Fire Lingzhi, I’m afraid you have to meet Miss Dong.”
“What kind of place is Paramount?” Yu Wan asked Qing Yan softly.
Qing Yan said, “A brothel.”
Yu Wan : “…”
Paramount was not only a brothel, but also the most famous brothel in the Capital. It was decorated like an immortal palace. As for the Dong Xian’er that this shopkeeper mentioned, she was the most outstanding courtesan since Paramount was established.
She had already won the champions.h.i.+p of the Courtesan Compet.i.tion for three years in a row and was worthy of the t.i.tle of the number one beauty in the Capital.
However, no matter how delicate a beauty was, her temper was famous for being bad. If she wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h something from her, she probably could not do it with money. If she used force, the four experts under her were all golden-masked sacrificial soldiers.
After hearing the shopkeeper’s explanation, Yu Wan sighed in her heart. Was he forcing her to enter the brothel again?
