Chapter 186: The Richest Man in Northern Liang 10
Lu Yan waved his hand, gesturing for Dong Jing and the others to leave first. He wanted to see if she really dared to walk the talk!
He did not believe that she would.
Dong Jing and the other servants left, closing the door behind them.
After the door was closed, Qi Qingyao started to unfasten the cloth around her waist calmly, as if she was about to take all her clothes off.
Lu Yan wrinkled his brow at the sight. “Miss!!!”
“Ah, stop whining. I saw your legs, so I’ll let you have a look at mine! Then we’ll be even!”
The cloth around Qi Qingyao’s waist was already undone when she said that. Just as her clothes were about to fall, Lu Yan said exasperatedly, “Wait!”
“Hm?” Qi Qingyao looked up.
“You’re a woman!” Lu Yan said from behind gritted teeth.
“I am.” Qi Qingyao did not know what he was implying.
“You’re a woman, so you should preserve your dignity,” Lu Yan said with a frown.
Qi Qingyao shrugged. She said casually, “I’m a woman, so I’m very generous. I saw your legs, so I’ll let you see mine, and we’ll be even. I’m not like certain men who would pick on other people just because they saw their legs! Don’t you agree, Little Yanyan?”
“Stop!” The cloth dropped to the floor, and Lu Yan was finally at his limits. He said, “Stop untying it!” He was not interested in the legs of a married woman at all!
Qi Qingyao grasped her clothes so that they would not slip to the floor and said in a deliberately pitiful voice, “But you drove me out of the inn because of this…”
“I won’t drive you out anymore,” Lu Yan snapped.
Qi Qingyao pressed excitedly, “Then have you also decided to be my grandfather?”
Lu Yan’s voice was as cold as ice. “Do you still want me to drive you out?”
“No, no, no. I’ll take my leave now.”
Qi Qingyao grasped at her clothes while she knelt down to pick up the fallen cloth. She then quickly tidied herself up and tied the cloth around her waist. Only after that did she give Lu Yan a nod and walk out of the room unhurriedly.
Dong Jing and the others were confused. After they saw the woman walk out with her appearance mostly clean, they quickly entered the room. They noted that their master did not seem to be on the lower end concerning the situation. However, their master looked annoyed, and so they said carefully, “Master?”
“Whatever. We’re not going to drive her out now.”
“Huh?”
“…”
Dong Jing did not know how to describe what he was feeling right now. Hang on, did Master look at the woman’s legs, felt that they were even now, and thus decided not to drive her out of the inn?
Dong Jing reminded him, “But we’ve already bought this inn.”
Lu Yan seemed to not have heard him. He was still cursing, “I have never seen such a shameless woman in my life!”
Dong Jing: “???”
Did Master hear him or not?
So they would not need to buy the other inns, would they?
After Qi Qingyao returned to her room, the servant looked at her questioningly. As expected, the innkeeper told the servant that he no longer needed to drive the woman out. The servant was quite happy at this, as the woman was quite good-looking. She made for a good sight, as far as he was concerned.
The innkeeper said that the man who lived next to them was the young master of Senluo Chamber of Commerce. The servant knew about the Senluo Chamber of Commerce; it was the biggest and greatest chamber of commerce in Beiliang. They were extremely wealthy.
The family behind Senluo Chamber of Commerce had the last name Lu, probably.
How did the woman and the man with a cat know each other, anyway?
She had offended Young Master Lu, who bought the inn in response. Now, she had said something to him, which made him decide against driving her out of the inn.
How… Strange.
That night, after Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin brought Dabao and Erniu back to the inn, the children looked as ravenous as someone who came back to life after dying of starvation. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, they started on the roasted chicken.
Si Jin sat beside them, eating rice from his bowl.
Jiang Yeqian, who was rather observant, noticed that Xiaobao had a smile on his face. “Anything interesting today? You’re smiling.”
Qi Qingyao said gleefully, “Maybe it’s because I accidentally took Lu Yan’s pants off, which almost made him drive us out of the inn. I ran to apologize to him, and tried to take my own pants off so that he could have an eyeful.”
Jiang Yeqian, “???????”
