Even Yufeng's words made Su Yiqing feel even more strange, but some speculations were really not so easy to ask.

Su Yiqing didn't ask, but Lian Yufeng took the initiative to explain, "I know the boss behind Bibolou. If I didn't know the details of this place, I wouldn't have gone there to drink."

"But do you mind telling me, right?" Su Yiqing made a guess when she saw that Lian Yufeng didn't directly say who the boss behind the scenes was.

"Some things are really inconvenient to say." Lian Yufeng apologized, "It's not that I can't trust you, but some things must be kept confidential. If you tell you today to trust you, you might also tell someone you think is absolutely trustworthy in the future. This will easily spread to ten or ten, and more importantly, this secret has no meaning to you."

Su Yiqing was silent for a moment, looked up at Lian Yufeng, and said frankly: "Who is the boss behind Bibo Tower? It means nothing to me, but the singer Shui Zhongyue was indeed killed after walking out of my Dingwang Mansion. I don't really believe the conclusion of Yancheng Prefecture's conclusion. It said that ** was incompatible with his singer Shui Zhongyue, so I asked the guard to teach him a lesson in Shui Zhongyue, but it turned out to be severe. This seemed a bit too simple and unreasonable."

"If everything in this world is reasonable, there will be no so many disputes." Lian Yufeng smiled slightly, "Maybe things are so simple. Sometimes people like to complicate simple things, but if a woman in the world kills her, no one will get any benefits. Do you think so?"

There is indeed some truth. Su Yiqing actually felt that if she had the motivation to kill the moon in the water, she was the Meng family, but Meng Ye and his wife should have been instructed by the Bibolou. She had already let go of this matter, but Meng Guang asked that day, which aroused her thoughts and she couldn't help but think of this matter.

"Maybe." Su Yiqing decided not to ask questions anymore. She always knew that what the other party didn't want to say, and what she got after asking questions was mostly lies.

Even Yufeng obviously didn't want to answer this question, so he changed the question and asked: "Do you ask about this because of the Meng family? Do you care so much about the Meng family? Have you ever thought about... the family before?"

Su Yiqing was filled with a bell in her heart and looked at Lian Yufeng with caution.

"I just ask casually, there is no other meaning, don't be too nervous." Seeing her expression like this, Lian Yufeng hurriedly comforted her.

Su Yiqing lowered her eyes and said for a while: "I don't know. Maybe the distance will make people feel distant. I haven't seen them for a long time. It's fake to say that there is no relationship at all, but if you want to say how deep the relationship is... I don't know, I'm not sure before I see them."

It’s better to be around the mansion of the Uncle Zhou, but Mrs. Zhou is really terrible.

If possible, Su Yiqing hopes that she will no longer have any connection with Mrs. Zhou in her life.

Lian Yufeng said again: "I asked this because the Dajing mission will come sooner or later. If the peace talks between the two countries make progress and there will be more exchanges in the future, some old friends may come to Yancheng one after another. Have you ever thought that they might encounter them again?"

"I will be more careful." Su Yiqing could only answer this way.

Du Juan and Su Yirong both met. It would be not surprising to say that they met other people. Du Juan could also say that she had not been too wary of it before. As a result, she now has a veil inside and outside the mansion. Fortunately, many noble ladies are like this. They wear veils in the mansion. The servants in the mansion think it is too strange. She told the servants that women's skin is prone to aging, especially after blowing the wind. In order to protect the skin, she should wear a veil at all times to avoid the wind. At the beginning, she wore a veil at all times in the town. The wind and sand in the town are strong, and the woman's skin is very rough. Fortunately, it is covered with a veil. If she smoked a little herb on the veil, it would be better. I heard that it is a good idea to have a veil in Yancheng noble ladies now, which is quite interesting.

"Don't you want to meet them again? After all, blood is thicker than water." Lian Yufeng seemed to have a tentative intention.

"So what?" Su Yiqing had thought about this question a long time ago. Others were fine. She still had a compatriotism to Su Jinxu. She smiled bitterly, "If you really want to get along with them, I wish them good luck instead of appearing in front of them and causing trouble for them. I have reached this point today and have no way back. Since that's the case, why bother them?"

"You think they are doing well, what if they are not doing well?" Lian Yufeng continued to ask a hypothetical question.

"I don't have the ability to help them now. If they don't live well, my appearance will only add to the insult, right?" Su Yiqing felt sad again. She didn't like to do these things, as if she had told Lian Yufeng before.

"Don't like me asking these?" Lian Yufeng guessed Su Yiqing's thoughts again and smiled, "But you have to understand that the more questions you ask, more questions will appear. It has no meaning to ask these questions that have nothing to do with yourself."

"This happened around me, and it may even have something to do with me, how can it be said that it is meaningless?" Su Yiqing didn't like Lian Yufeng's tone very much, or this is the difference in the values ​​of the two. In Lian Yufeng's heart, maybe a woman like Shui Zhongyue's life is not worth a penny, and she will die if she dies. As long as it is not a conspiracy against him, she is different. Even if she doesn't know each other and knows that someone is innocent and dies, she still cannot remain indifferent.

Lian Yufeng sighed, "My princess, you have to understand what your identity is now and what environment we are in. Has the years when we wandered in the world made you more adapted to life outside?"

"Yes, or maybe I'm not suitable for living in a wealthy mansion." Su Yiqing also sighed, "It is said that people need to adapt to the environment, but adapting to the environment is not easy. I don't want to say anything else. Finally, I said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore, you can be busy."

Su Yiqing said and was about to leave.

Lian Yufeng hurriedly said, "Let's have a meal later?"

"No, maybe I don't have much appetite today." Su Yiqing politely rejected Lian Yufeng's proposal. In this atmosphere, eating is really meaningless.

Her intuition, no matter what the ultimate goal of Lian Yufeng is, should be revealed soon.

The Dajing delegation has been delaying on the road for several months. No matter how hard it is, it will be time to arrive in Yancheng. It is estimated that the truth will be revealed at that time. I hope that things will not be as bad as she thought.

But sometimes when she thinks about it, she feels that it doesn't seem to be so bad.

...

Mrs. Quan Si’s house.

Mrs. Quan Si calculated the accounts this month and found that the income was much less. Several of the most profitable shops were not wrong this month. There are many reasons. Some did not enter the fresh goods that customers like in time, while others opened similar types of shops next door, robbed a lot of business.

If there are only one or two shops with such problems, she thinks it will be normal. There is no business that will make money forever, and occasionally there will be downturns. However, there will be problems with several different types of shops at the same time, which is abnormal.

There is no need to check it out carefully. After thinking about it for a moment, she will know the reason.

She offended the Ding Prince's Mansion. Perhaps the people in the Ding Prince's Mansion wanted to teach her a lesson. A few days ago, I should have taken advantage of the popularity of the store and sold the shop quickly. However, I was too anxious at that time and the price would be very low. She felt that it would be fine if she was slower. She didn't expect it to be like this. She would have sold it at that time if I knew it.

However, it was not sold at that time, and now it seems even less cost-effective.

Mrs. Quan Si really regretted this when she thought of this. The most difficult thing in the world is the medicine for regret. Now she has no time to regret it.

She felt that for the sake of the present, she would hold on first and buy it in a hurry, which would give the people in the royal palace a worse impression. She might think that she was deliberately against the Ding Prince's Mansion, but just in case, she would make plans for some things early, such as some antique calligraphy and paintings at home, which would be exchanged for gold and silver.

When there are urgent needs, antique calligraphy and paintings will be cheaper when used for pawning, and gold and silver are better. Now, selling some good things you have collected little by little can the price be higher.

Fortunately, the business of the tea house is worse than that of the day, because the best channel for tea is to follow the manager who purchased by Dingwangfu to buy it, but it is not easy to follow now. Other channels are not as fast and convenient as they are, so there are no good teas, and the business is naturally much worse.

It doesn’t matter to Mrs. Quan Si, but Haitang is indeed a little anxious.

Thinking about how to make the tea shop business better.

Speaking of which, making money can really make people addicted to it. Haitang has only been helping with the tea shop for a few months, and she was still aloof at the beginning. However, because Mrs. Quan Si promised that the business was good, she would pay more dividends, so the business was bad, which affected her dividends at the end of the month, not to mention that some good teas are gone or not, so she could not taste them casually as if she thought, which made her even more heart-wrenching.

When he heard Haitang put forward a few suggestions, he looked very anxious. Mrs. Quan Si couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Haitang, there are good and bad business operations. You can't be in a hurry, take your time."

Haitang said: "Fourth Mrs., how can you not be in a hurry? I am not very good at doing business, but I also know that once some customers are lost, it will be difficult to turn back. We must find a way quickly."

Mrs. Quan Si said: "Miss Haitang, it's useless to be anxious in this situation now. Take your time. The reason why business has become bad is that the quality of our tea has declined a little. If the root cause is not solved, nothing will be useful."

"Yes, Mrs. Fourth, I'm just trying to say, why did the tea I have recently been much smaller in terms of quality and quantity?" Haitang was the one who was most puzzled.

Mrs. Quan Si could not tell Haitang directly, saying that due to some problems with the relationship with Ding Wang Mansion, the purchase channels were in trouble, and she said vaguely: "The checkpoints have been relatively strict recently, and sometimes it's like this, and it will be fine after a while."

"Is that true?" Haitang didn't quite understand this.

"Don't worry too much." Mrs. Quan Si perfunctorily said to Haitang, thought for a while, and then said, "It's rare that Miss Haitang, you care so much about the business of the store. It's all up to you recently. In this way, I'll add 20% of the monthly money to you next month."

"No, no." Haitang hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and he would not receive any rewards without any merit. The business of this tea shop was getting worse day by day. Why did she have the nerve to ask for monthly money? There was no reason at all.

"Just make up, don't refuse." Mrs. Quan Si smiled, "If you feel embarrassed, just sell more."

"I really can't ask for this." Haitang said seriously, "Even if you want to add it, you have to wait until the business goes up before adding it."

I'm afraid it will be difficult for this business to go up again during the period. Mrs. Quan Si thought to herself that the store is in a good location. If the business is really bad, you can close the store or sell the store, or rent it to another company to collect rent directly. However, there is still a Haitang in the shop that needs a case, so it can't close the store, so you can only hold on.

"Fourth wife, I heard that General Shao has not found her." Haitang suddenly asked a distracted question.

"Yes, I don't see anyone living or corpses dead, and I don't know what's going on." Mrs. Quan Si was actually concerned about this issue, but now things seem to have slowly cooled down. This is what Yancheng is like, with powerful people gathering, and there are many new things coming out every day. No matter how big the matter is, it will fade away without any further information. It seems that even the government is not working hard to search.

Haitang still cared about this. She was still thinking about the things she told Princess Ding that day. I wonder if it would have an impact on General Shao's wife, or since she had already told Princess Ding, she might not have been hiding it from the prefect of Yancheng that day. If she told Princess Ding, maybe the prefect of the prefect of Yancheng could find clues and solve the case as soon as possible?

After talking for a while, Mrs. Quan Si still had some things, so she left first.

Haitang thought about it alone for a long time, but didn't come up with anything, so he asked the shopkeeper of the tea shop to ask questions about the tea shop business.

Master Wang, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, was a little upset about Haitang asking every now and then. This woman had a lot of things, wasn’t it just that her business was a little bad? He was not in a hurry if there was anything great. What was this woman in a hurry? It wasn’t her business.

She didn't see Mrs. Quan Si was anxious, but the woman Haitang, she discussed it with him two days later and put forward a lot of opinions. She didn't have so much leisure.

When Master Wang saw Haitang, he said, "Miss Haitang, I have told you that there is a problem with the purchase channel. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. This product is not good, and the business is naturally bad. This is a fundamental problem. No matter how many countermeasures you can do, it is useless."

Haitang said: "That's how you want to think about other ways, or find out if there is any other way to purchase goods. If this road is not open, just go another one. You can't watch the business of the tea shop get worse day by day, right?"
