The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 319: clear
Chapter 319 Understand
“What are you afraid of that governor?! Everyone knows that our Bai family has the final say in Shuoyang City. No matter how powerful Bai Weiting is, he still has to listen to my grandfather! My grandfather is the clan leader! He will do whatever he is told to do without hesitation!”
“Although Bai Weiting is dead now, there is still a Bai Qingyan who has been conferred the title of Princess. Everyone in the world knows that Bai Qingyan has become the Crown Prince’s disciple. As long as we wait for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne… our Bai family will still stand firm! The Bai family is still the master who has the final say in Shuoyang City!”
Bai Qingyan paused, raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at Manager Liu who was following behind her.
Manager Liu nodded in understanding, stepped aside a few steps, and smiled as he let the others go upstairs first.
Bai Jinzhi suppressed his anger, pretended not to hear, and followed Bai Qingyan upstairs.
This time the eldest sister came back specifically to deal with clan affairs. Since the eldest sister heard it and did not care, she must have her reasons and she cannot act impulsively.
However, the waiter who led the way sighed imperceptibly when he heard this.
Bai Jinzhi twitched his ears and asked with a smile, “Why are you sighing, little brother?”
The waiter straightened his back as if frightened, and said with a smile: “It’s nothing, it’s just that in a few days… our Tianxianglou will change owners, and we don’t know if we can continue to work here. Sorry to bother you!”
Bai Jinzhi got a hint from Bai Qingyan and asked, “Change of ownership? Tianxianglou has always had good business, right?”
The waiter pushed open the door of the private room and respectfully invited Bai Qingyan and his party in. He complained while pouring tea: “Sir, you are probably not a local, so you don’t know how powerful the Bai family is. The Bai family has always been the one who has the final say in our Shuoyang City. They have done a lot of immoral things over the years. In the past, they had the support of the Duke of Zhenguo. Now that the Duke of Zhenguo has died, a new Princess of Zhenguo has come. I heard that the Princess of Zhenguo has an unusual relationship with the Crown Prince. It is said that when the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, the Princess of Zhenguo will be either the Queen or the Imperial Concubine! The Bai family… I’m afraid they will be even more arrogant!”
Bai Jinzhi almost burst into a curse, she gritted her teeth and looked grim.
“Did you hear all this from the Bai family?” Bai Qingyan sat down in front of the Eight Immortals Table, picked up the teacup with his jade-like fingers, and blew air into the cup slowly.
“Not only the Bai family, our boss is the county magistrate’s brother-in-law, and the county magistrate told us so!” The waiter had a bitter face, “The Bai family has already seized several shops, and suddenly they set their sights on our Tianxianglou. The county magistrate said that our boss can’t afford to offend the Bai family, so just give it to them! The Zhenguo Princess will be returning to Shuoyang soon. If we don’t give it to them… and cause trouble, it will be difficult to end, and our boss will be the one who suffers.”
“Hey, every time the Bai family took over a shop, they would cut the employees’ monthly salary in half! A few days ago… the shopkeeper of the Yu Lu Rouge Shop said that he had parents and children to support, and he couldn’t continue working with a 50% salary cut… The Bai family immediately found a reason to beat the man half crippled, and the old shopkeeper died that night! The old shopkeeper’s son didn’t say anything, but quietly went to the governor to sue the Bai family, but I think even the governor might not dare to intervene.”
Bai Jinzhi clenched his fists until his knuckles crackled. He was so angry that he didn’t even bother looking at the night view of Tuling Temple. He didn’t even have a proper meal before following Bai Qingyan back to the inn.
Seeing that Bai Jin was quite childish, Bai Qingyan found something for her to do. He asked her to arrange for someone to inform Ji Tingyu to meet tomorrow. Then she practiced with the red tassel silver spear in the courtyard of the inn. Steward Liu stood beside her and reported to Bai Qingyan what happened today.
“It seems that these younger generations of the Bai family did something behind the backs of the Bai family elders. Just now, the clan leader’s young grandson has called the head manager of Tianxiang Tower over and asked them to let the owner of Tianxiang Tower come over at noon tomorrow. They should be planning to forcibly buy Tianxiang Tower.” Manager Liu said.
It seems that there is no need for Manager Liu to set up the plan. Tomorrow noon will be the best time.
Bai Qingyan’s ears twitched, his eyes darkened, and he turned around and threw out the spear that was shining with a cold light.
Xiao Rongyan stood where he was without retreating, tilted his head to avoid the sharp tip of the spear, and grasped the gun body firmly with one hand.
Manager Liu lowered his head and took two steps back politely. He was horrified in his heart. It seemed that Xiao Rongyan’s skills were too good. He was so close to the young lady, but he didn’t notice it at all.
Bai Qingyan, who was panting, saw that it was Xiao Rongyan, and the hostility between his eyebrows disappeared: “Mr. Xiao likes to appear so quietly?”
Xiao Rongyan held a large black lacquer square plate in one hand, threw the silver spear in his hand to Manager Liu, stood at the door and did not move forward, and said: “Today, I saw that Miss Bai had a poor appetite, so I specially asked someone to stew red dates and bird’s nest and send it to Miss Bai.”
“How can I trouble you, Mr. Xiao?”
“Miss Bai has done Yan a favor, and this is what she should do.” Xiao Rongyan looked at Manager Liu with a smile.
Manager Liu placed his silver spear against the wall, stepped forward to take the red dates and bird’s nest that Xiao Rongyan brought, and said with a smile: “Thank you, Mr. Xiao, it’s getting late, Mr. Xiao should rest earlier.”
Bai Qingyan thought of Xiao Rongyan’s jade cicada, took off the purse around his waist, and shouted, “Mr. Xiao…”
“Miss Bai, what do you want me to do?” Xiao Rongyan became more and more presumptuous when he heard the voice, and walked towards Bai Qingyan with a smile.
Manager Liu quickly followed.
Bai Qingyan took out the jade cicada from her purse and handed it to Xiao Rongyan: “This thing is Mr. Xiao’s treasured thing, it is better to return it to its original owner.”
Xiao Rongyan looked at the purse in Bai Qingyan’s hand and recognized that it was something Bai Qingyan wore close to her body. The smile in his eyes became more intense: “Young lady, have you been carrying it close to your body?”
Bai Qingyan avoided Xiao Rongyan’s overly hot and deep gaze and said, “I don’t know when I will run into Mr. Xiao, so I brought it with me so that it will be convenient for me to return it.”
Manager Liu felt his heart skip a beat. The word “close” was too ambiguous. How was it different from being frivolous?
From the moment Xiao Rongyan invited the eldest and fourth girls to the VIP Inn, he could tell that Xiao Rongyan had ulterior motives towards their Miss Bai, but he never expected that Xiao Rongyan’s style of doing things was so reckless!
He took advantage of their eldest girl with his words, but she seemed unaware.
Manager Liu placed the soup bowl heavily on the stone table and said with a smile, “Young lady, drink it while it’s hot. Don’t let Mr. Xiao down.”
“Giving the jade cicada to Miss Bai is also the good intention of Xiao and my brother. I hope Miss Bai will not let it down.” Xiao Rongyan said with a smile.
Manager Liu: “…”
This Mr. Xiao is quite good at taking advantage of others!
Bai Qingyan stared into Xiao Rongyan’s eyes and said, “Manager Liu, please go down first.”
Manager Liu spoke reluctantly: “Yes…”
After Manager Liu left, Bai Qingyan asked, “Why did Mr. Xiao give me the jade cicada? If it was just a simple thank you…”
“You understand what I mean.” Xiao Rongyan’s mellow and gentle voice was particularly charming in this dark night.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. There is a gentle breeze. Under the bright moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying. Occasionally, the faint chirping of insects among the flowers can be heard.
A serious confession…
It’s the last day of this month! Dear friends, please support me with your monthly tickets…
