‘Wait a minute, putting aside how rich the Senluo Chamber of Commerce might or might not be, just the furnishings in this room alone are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!’
Qi Qingyao looked at the man in front of her.
The man looked back at her.
The two of them stared at each other for a while.
Qi Qingyao once again confirmed that this was the man who bought her medical herbs last night. They were definitely not going to admit that now, however…
“Hahahaha.” Qi Qingyao laughed a bit, then casually sat on the other side of the clay-stove table and grabbed a few of the cakes before popping them into her mouth. ‘Ah damn, these are really good.’
The attendant was strongly considering dragging the woman away.
Lu Yan waved his hand, indicating for the attendant to not worry.
After eating a few bites, Qi Qingyao said, “I didn’t come here to ask you to return my money.”
Lu Yan raised his eyelids and looked at the woman who was completely lacking in manners. “Then why has the lady come?”
Qi Qingyao popped a crab and tofu skin steamed bun into her mouth in one bite. Her expression was serious but she was unable to hide her excitement as she spoke.
“Are you lacking grandchildren?”
“…”
“Or daughters? I’m willing to have you as my dad,” Qi Qingyao blinked as she spoke in a kind tone.
“Father?” Lu Yan mulled over the word.
Qi Qingyao thought for a moment, before adding on seriously, “You can be my grandfather too, that’s fine by me. As long as you’re willing to take me as your god grandchild!”
Lu Yan’s expression instantly turned dark. “Woman, I’m not married.”
Getting to know one more god grandfather meant getting one more path in life!
In one stride, Qi Qingyao walked to the opposite side of the clay-stove table and sat down, side by side with the beautiful person’s shoulder. Expression solemn, she said very seriously, “Grandfather, why don’t you just acknowledge me? Look at me, I don’t look half bad, right? I’m rather pretty! Your reputation would not suffer if I was your grandchild. You won’t have to suffer any losses.”
Saying this, she even patted Lu Yan’s leg.
The attendant faltered and boomed, “Woman, if you spout any more nonsense, be warned that we…”
“That’s enough. Since this grandfather would like to rest, you, grandchild should also leave for now. Go find something to occupy yourself…”
Qi Qingyao dared not wait till someone came to chase her off. Grabbing a few more cakes, she rushed out, hooting as she went.
After the woman took off like a tornado, the attendant, who knew his master’s temperament well, disposed of the mattress and the sardonyx dish containing the cakes into the slag bucket.
As he was cleaning up, he said, “Master, we’ve come across a lunatic.”
“Haha.”
Lu Yan laughed as he petted the fortune cat on his lap.
The attendant sighed. “There are so many unusual characters in this rural town. I’ve only seen people who had vied to be master’s concubine or those who wanted to become the young mistress. Never have I seen someone who wanted to be your grandchild!”
…
After Qi Qingyao returned to her room, she finished the few cakes. When the time came for the afternoon meal, Qi Qingyao asked mysteriously when the servant entered through the door, “Mister, do you know the name of the person who lives in the room at the corner?”
“I’m sorry, Missy. I don’t know either,” the servant said as he scratched his head.
Qi Qingyao contemplated deeply for a moment. “Then, do you know what the Senluo Chamber of Commerce is?”
The servant gasped before finally saying, “The Senluo Chamber of Commerce is the number one chamber of commerce in Northern Liang. They have countless estates and shops under them, including the Yongchang Bank. The Senluo Chamber of Commerce is basically the millionaire of Northern Liang! ”
“…”
Qi Qingyao was stunned.
After being in a daze for a long time, she asked again, “Then, why is mine a normal window while theirs are calabash windows when that room and mine are both luxury rooms? They even have a multicolored table outline with gold, a mahogany bed, and a golden phoebe zhennan chair! The discrepancy is a bit too much, mister. This is discrimination!”
