Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 219 Shop Opening

Leng Yanxiu convinced himself and looked up at the disappearing figure again, his eyes filled with indifference.

"Master Miss Qu has left. Should we follow her and take a look? It's late at night..."

"You're worried? Then go ahead."

After saying this, Leng Yanxiu turned around and left without hesitation.

Xuan Lei scratched his head in confusion and muttered, "Don't they say women's hearts are as fickle as the sea? How come men are so fickle too?"

Looking at his master's back, he realized it belatedly and quickly caught up with him.

Qu Jingyao did not go home directly but went directly to a villa given to her by her grandfather. The villa was empty because no one had lived there since it was built.

This was a perfect time for her to act.

All the food in the space was stored by Qu Jingyao in the other courtyard. Looking at the full granary in front of her, she clapped her hands with satisfaction.

"This time it's foolproof."

"Master, it's already three o'clock in the morning, you should go back quickly."

Manman reminded her in the space.

Qu Jingyao looked up at the night sky in the yard and smiled.

"Walking back."

After saying this, Qu Jingyao checked everything in the yard, and after ensuring it was safe, she turned around and returned to the Haoshan Palace.

The first thing she did when she returned to the room was to go to the space. She came to the warehouse and looked at the things that were packed up. She couldn't help but sigh that it was really her little helper.

"As long as the master is satisfied."

At this time, in the Yanchu Palace, the emperor in the imperial study had not yet rested, and was sighing repeatedly in helplessness.

"Your Majesty, it's already four o'clock in the morning. You should take a rest. You still have to attend the morning court. How can your body handle it?" The eunuch beside him kept persuading him.

"Do you think my decision is right? This Haoshan Palace..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This old servant..."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, asking in vain. He stood in front of the hall door with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night sky outside. In the distance, the dark moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars around it twinkled faintly.

"My decision will not be wrong. I am the Son of Heaven. So what if he is King Haoshan? He is just a minister. Since my sister is ignorant of the current situation, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

After he finished speaking, he glanced sinisterly at the eunuch beside him.

"Show off."

He didn't know that the thief he was looking for was lying on top of those treasures and snoring soundly.

Qu Jingyao was also exhausted and fell asleep without even chatting with Manman for a few words.

After meeting Qu Jingyao, Leng Yanxiu took Xuan Lei directly out of Bianliang City.

Before leaving the city, he met King Xiang. The two had been close friends for many years, and this time they also came for the soldiers.

On the official road outside the city, Leng Yanxiu and Xuan Lei, master and servant, were riding on their Ferghana horses and galloping towards Yuan Shao. He also had to rush back to deploy as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao's situation was similar to Yan Chu's at this time. Both were facing internal and external troubles. His elder brother's health was getting worse day by day, and the actions of the princes under him were becoming more and more frequent.

He has always been conflicted about Qu Jingyao. At first, he just teased her like a little pet and comforted her to stay by his side. He thought she was just a living antidote, but he found that his heart was occupied by that little thing in his spare time.

He didn't know why this happened and felt inexplicably irritated.

Xuan Lei also felt that his master was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to open his mouth along the way. He just followed his master silently to protect him.

It has been quite some time since Qu Jingyao came to Yanchu.

Today happens to be the opening day of the shop.

Qu Jingyao arrived at Jiu Linglong early.

"Master, everything outside has been arranged. Do you have any instructions? If not, I will go to the front to greet them." Uncle Song stood respectfully in front of Qu Jingyao and asked for instructions.

"All good, go ahead and do your work, and bring the Qi family's visitors directly to the back."

"Yes!"

Uncle Song bowed and retreated.

Ling'er was also arranged to greet guests in the front today.

When Jiu Linglong opened, many people came here because of the relationship with several uncles.

Qu Jingyao was flipping through the booklet in her hand when Ling'er ran in.

"Master, the fifth lady of the Qi family is here."

"Please come in quickly."

Qu Jingyao stood up in surprise and walked towards the door.

"Oh, it turns out our boss is lazing around here." Qi Yuyao came over with her maid and fourth brother.

"Greetings to my aunt, my third uncle, and my fourth uncle. Please come in."

Qu Jingyao ordered Ling'er to serve tea.

The Qi Wenhai brothers did not expect that there would be so many customers coming to their niece's shop when it opened today. The front lobby was already crowded with people.

It is true that word of mouth spreads quickly. This is the first time that such top-quality jade has appeared at the same time in the city of Bianliang.

"By the way, Yao'er, this time your third uncle and I brought four people with us. All four of them are skilled in martial arts, so we'll stay in the shop for protection. If you're not here, it'll help prevent any trouble. Of course, with your uncles here, no one would dare to do anything. We're just taking precautions."

Qi Wenhai picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it gently, reminding Qu Jingyao that when running a shop, you will meet all kinds of people, but everyone who is important in Bianliang City knows that the Qi family is behind Jiu Linglong, so no one should dare to cause trouble.

"Yao'er thanks the uncles so much. This way, I can feel more at ease after I leave."

When Qi Yuyao heard her say that she was leaving, she held her hand reluctantly, with a sullen expression on her face, which made Qu Jingyao at a loss as to how to persuade her.

"Yao'er, when will you come back? I will miss you."

Qu Jingyao suppressed a smile and said, "Aunt, we will meet again soon. You must be more careful about who you are in the future and not be so open-hearted to everyone."

Qi Wenyuan nodded in agreement, then mocked his sister, saying that she was not as good as his niece.

"Fourth brother..."

"Okay, Xiao Si, stop talking bad about her. Don't you see she's embarrassed?" Qi Wenhai tried to smooth things over with a smile.

As they were talking, it was time for the host Qu Jingyao to show up, and Uncle Song sent someone to invite him.

The Qi brothers and sisters accompanied her to the shop in front.

The guests around were all guessing about Qu Jingyao's identity. The owner of Jiu Linglong was very mysterious. No one knew her background. They only knew that she was very close to the Qi family of Luoshan Palace.

"Everyone, today is the opening day of Jiu Ling Long. Every distinguished customer who purchases at least 50,000 taels of silver at Jiu Ling Long today will receive a custom-made Ruyi pendant made of various top-grade jades."

After she finished speaking, many people started talking about it. These Jiu Linglong items were all priceless and rare. It would be very prestigious to give one as a gift.

Many dignitaries came to choose in person.

Looking at the booming business, Qu Jingyao curled her lips into a smile and led her uncle and others back to the backyard.

"I'll leave my uncle's Jiu Linglong to you to take care of. I have to hurry back as soon as possible, otherwise my mother will be worried. Besides, the war is about to start, and I'm afraid that my family..."
