I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 114 The Fish Has Been Hooked

"Why? Are you interested in Xia Hou Rui?"

"I'll send a pigeon to Fengyu Pavilion, and you'll know everything about his ancestors for eighteen generations."

Xin Youran: That’s not necessary.

"I noticed that you get mad whenever I mention Xia Hou Rui."

"Could it be that something happened between you two behind my back?"

Leng Yue was too lazy to pay attention to this person with a strange train of thought and asked impatiently: "What are you going to do next?"

"If you have nothing else to do, it's best to go to the inn and catch up on some sleep."

She went back to Yuemanlou Inn last night and didn't return until the hour of Yin.

Xin Youran noticed that Leng Yue was indeed not in good condition today. She probably didn't sleep well last night, so she smiled and said, "Xiao Yueyue, why don't you go back to the inn and catch up on some sleep? I'll go to Mingyuzhai and be back soon."

"If everything goes well, it will probably be even faster!"

Leng Yue frowned slightly, "Ming Yu Zhai?"

Although she didn't know much about the capital, she knew about Ming Yu Zhai. It was said that they had a lot of rouge and powder that were specially supplied to the palace.

The quality is definitely impeccable, but it is notoriously difficult to buy because of its high threshold. It is not affordable for ordinary people, so it is far less popular than Ningxiang Pavilion.

"Do you know where that is?"

Xin Youran could see the worry in Leng Yue's eyes. She patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked the waiter."

"I also expected to be rejected, but my real purpose is not to cooperate with Ming Yu Zhai, but to show it to Manager Guo."

Leng Yue didn't know what she was planning, so she decided to accompany her first. "I'll go with you."

Xin Youran thought about it and realized it wouldn’t take long, so she didn’t say anything more.

"Let's walk slowly and go around Ningxiang Pavilion later. I'll pretend to ask for directions, and you can take the opportunity to go to Ningxiang Pavilion to see if there's any movement."

Leng Yue nodded.

Xin Youran and Leng Yue walked slowly, and whenever they saw anything interesting on the street, they would go to the stalls to take a look.

Especially at the stalls selling delicious food, she actually didn't eat enough for breakfast, only 50% full. When she saw the stall selling Hubing, she couldn't move anymore.

"Boss, give me a Hu pancake."

"Xiao Yueyue, I see you didn't eat much for breakfast, do you want to have one too?"

"No."

"Oh well."

"Boss, add more meat."

Seeing the stall owner adding meat to her, she immediately smiled and said, "Boss, you are so kind. I wish you a prosperous business and a fortune soon!"

When the boss heard this, he gave another piece of mutton.

When paying, Xin Youran gave an extra penny and said, "Thank you, boss!"

"I want to ask you how to get to Mingyuzhai."

The boss understood everything as soon as he heard it, "Young Master, are you from out of town?"

Xin Youran nodded while eating the Hu Bing.

"More than one person has asked me about Ming Yu Zhai. I was thinking that everyone was going to Ning Xiang Pavilion, but for some reason, they changed their route today and went to Ming Yu Zhai instead..."

The boss's words made her chew slower. It seemed that something bad was happening in Ningxiang Pavilion faster than she had expected.

Now Leng Yue didn't need to go to Ningxiang Pavilion to find out, she already knew what was going on.

But when she turned around and called Leng Yue, she found that she had disappeared.

The speed is really fast!

"Thank you, boss. Please keep the money. I will come to patronize your business next time."

"Alright, have a safe trip, sir."

Xin Youran actually knew where Mingyuzhai was a long time ago, so she ate her Hubing while walking leisurely. Leng Yue should have arrived at Ningxiang Pavilion by now.

The owner of the Hu Bing patted his head belatedly, muttering to himself, "I don't think I told that young man just now where Yu Zhai is, right?"

Just after Xin Youran finished eating the whole Hu Bing, he patted the crumbs on his hands, and Ming Yu Zhai happened to be right in front of him.

She adjusted her sleeves and was about to enter Mingyuzhai when she was stopped by someone.

"Mr. Xin, my shopkeeper Guo is in love."

Haha, he was really patient and stopped her the moment she stepped into Mingyuzhai.

"Manager Guo? Which Manager Guo?"

"Xin is not very familiar."

"This... Sir, you forgot, Ningxiang Pavilion..."

The man who stopped Xin Youran was the servant who brought her into the reception room of Ningxiang Pavilion through the back door that day. Judging from his attire, he should be the assistant of Manager Guo.

She was really grand, having a deputy come in person to "invite" him.

"Oh, that's the boss Guo who always destroyed the bridge after crossing it."

Assistant to Manager Guo: ...

Speechless, not knowing what to do, "Mr. Xin must have some misunderstanding about our shopkeeper. He has prepared a banquet, please do me a favor, haha."

This time, even a banquet was prepared, which was much more advanced than good tea.

"Isn't this some kind of Hongmen Banquet?"

"I think Manager Guo is capable of anything."

Just when Xin Youran was in a stalemate with Manager Guo's men, Leng Yue came.

"Oh, sir, you made it so easy for me to find you!"

Leng Yue said this and put her arm around Xin Youran, the two of them sitting very close to each other.

Leng Yue has such acting skills, and her voice was so sweet that she got goosebumps.

"I told you to just wander around first, I'll do some business."

"Talk about business?"

After asking, Leng Yue looked up at the shop sign in front of her, "Ming Yu Zhai, it must be the most powerful incense shop now. There was a Ning Xiang Pavilion that could compete with it before, but it can't compete anymore."

"I just went to Ningxiang Pavilion to pick out rouge, but there were 10 or 20 people blocking the door, saying that the perfume I sold them last time was fake!"

"They're clamoring for Manager Guo to give an explanation!"

"By the way, we are talking about a shopkeeper named Guo, right?"

This question was asked to the shopkeeper Guo, who was not only speechless but also blushed.

"Mr. Xin..."

He looked at Xin Youran with almost pleading eyes, "Our boss said that you can propose conditions and the price can be negotiated..."

"You better go to the appointment, otherwise the shopkeeper will not forgive me..."

Xin Youran noticed that the man's body was shaking as he spoke, proving that Manager Guo must have beaten and scolded him a lot, perhaps even worse.

"Lead the way."

You and I are both cattle and horses. We are born in this world, so why should we make things difficult for each other?

Leng Yue was becoming increasingly confused. Who on earth did she want to cooperate with?

Immediately afterwards, Xin Youran and Leng Yue were led into a very hidden alley. Could this be a revenge against her?

She didn't do anything. First, she didn't go to the shopkeeper's house to question why he went back on his word, and second, she didn't expose his bad behavior in public. She was already giving him face.

Xin Youran's heart was pounding, but Leng Yue remained calm and was ready to use whatever tricks he had.

Until I walked to a house and saw a plaque on it - Ruoying Pavilion. Is this a restaurant?

The moment she pushed open the door, Xin Youran not only saw Manager Guo coming forward, but also saw a person, someone who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
