Chapter 20 - Forceful
[T/N: This chapter is part 2/2 of ko-fi chapter for this week! I hope I will be able to get 2 more Ko-fi so I can update 2 additional chapters for next week as well :D] "ShangGuan Master?" Ling Xuan slightly raised her eyebrows, laughed and said, "Mother Lin, my uncle is a literary cultured person. The most disdainful of all are the tricks of doing business. If ask him to deal with this matter, will he not hate me this niece?" ShangGuan Liang, who was ShangGuan Yan Lan"s father, was gentle on the surface but in fact, he was a very scheming and calculative person. He was the most despicable insidious villain.
Mother Lin did not know how to continue the conversation. She also knew about this. Previously when Madam was willing to go back to ShangGuan house, Master was unwilling to see her. He always despised her because she was doing business, an unscrupulous businessperson.
However, when the business that Madam was doing was getting bigger and bigger, and when it had spread throughout the four countries, Master had begun to regret. No matter how disdainful the businessman, it was impossible to despise the silver that was earned. Who did not know that silver was a good thing!
"Alright. For this matter, this Miss knows what to do. Cher, you stay here to take care of Second Miss. Mother Lin, you follow me to the main hall." The reason for this arrangement was because she didn"t want Mother Ling to stay behind and bully Ling Yan.
"Yes." Mother Lin was helpless. She could only respond with Cher.
Yun Ling Xuan was ten years old, but similar to her dead father, she was quite tall. She looked like a twelve or thirteen year old girl instead. Her temperament was calm and there was a sense of peace that was inexplicable.
When Ling Xuan and Mother Lin arrived at Yun Family"s main hall, it was already very noisy and messy inside. Even when Ling Xuan walked in, those people would ignore her presence. They continued to talk on their own and their expressions were very agitated.
Ling Xuan wasn"t in a hurry at all. She sat down in the main seat, slowly drank the red jujube tea that Uncle He had poured for her. Those people ignored her, she would also not open her mouth...
Those shopkeepers were old fritters. They originally thought about using the momentum to push down the ten-year-old girl, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to win the game. However, they were noisy for a long time, yet she didn"t say a word. They couldn"t help but feel weird.
"Miss, today we have come to Yun Family because we want to ask regarding Yun Family"s business, do you still want to do it? The person who asked first was from Tao Di restaurant, Shopkeeper Yuan. He seemed like a gentleman. Looked like someone who would scheme even when being friendly.
This Tao Di restaurant was the most famous in the capital. They were not only famous in Dong Yan, but also in Nan Yu, Xi Qin, and even the coldest Bei Han. At the beginning, ShangGuan Yuan relied on her unfamiliar cooking skills, slowly grew in power, and infiltrated the other kinds of businesses. Her abilities were quite big. She was able to get a close relationship with the n.o.blemen, so her fame was even louder than Yun Qing.
"This Miss has been sitting here for a long time. I thought that all the shopkeepers are here to chat about their daily lives. You all have muttered for a long time but this Miss still doesn"t know what is going on. Shopkeeper Yuan is so aggressive, what do you want to do?" Ling Xuan"s voice was neither loud nor soft. It was good enough to penetrate the whole hall. This had attracted all the shopkeepers" attention to her.
"Miss, that is Yuan Shopkeeper. When Madam just started doing business, he was one of the first batches of the old shop a.s.sistant. You can"t be so rude to him." Mother Lin saw everyone was looking at each other, so she couldn"t help but try to smooth things over.
Yuan Shopkeeper was somewhat uneasy, but after listening to Mother Lin"s words, he straightened his back. He arrogantly said, "Miss is still very young, so it"s natural that you do not understand our hardship. It"s a pity ah! Madam is no longer around, otherwise, such a thing won"t happen at all!"
