Chapter Twelve Yuan Mansion Talking and Laughing

The next morning, Li Yuntong and his subordinate Lei Qingfeng came to Liu Chengxing's house. Lei Qingfeng knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Lei Qingfeng continued to knock on the door hard, and suddenly, the door was opened by the person inside.

"Why are you, Miss, why are you here?" Liu Chengxing, who was originally frowning, asked in confusion when he saw Li Yuntong and Lei Qingfeng standing at the door.

"I have something to talk to you." Li Yuntong smiled.

"Please sit down in the house first." Liu Chengxing said politely while closing the door.

After Li Yuntong entered the house and sat down, he slowly said, "I know you lost money in the gambling house last night, borrowed money and owed debts, and even asked a master named Zhao for money."

"How did you know?" Liu Chengxing whispered in surprise.

"If you don't know, don't do it yourself. If you can tell me the whole truth, it is what you did for Mr. Zhao. I can give you 101 or 20 yuan to pay off your debts and let you continue to work in the Li family's shop." Li Yuntong said straight to the point.

"Miss, are you really willing to help me? Give me one hundred and one or two silvers." Liu Chengxing said gratefully in disbelief.

"Yes, as long as you tell the whole truth. On the way to the capital, you were the one who quietly uncovered the tiles on my roof. The wound on your face was injured by me at that time, not by you when you went to the thatched cottage and hit the wall, right?" Li Yuntong asked seriously.

"Yes, Miss, you have guessed it. It seems that you can't hide it from you. I did something that I'm sorry to the Li family." Liu Chengxing said with a look of shame and embarrassment.

"If you sincerely repent, I can forgive you. I believe you are being instructed." Li Yuntong said earnestly.

Liu Chengxing breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Miss, this is the thing. Mr. Zhao also has a cloth shop. He saw that the business of the Li family's cloth shop is much better than that of his family, so he used money to lure me to do such a thing, which was to secretly replace the high-quality cloth that the Li family had transported to the capital to abandoned cloth, which damaged the reputation of the Li family's cloth shop and lost customers, so that his Zhao family's business would naturally get better."

"So that's how it is." Li Yuntong suddenly realized.

"This is one hundred and one two silvers here, you can take it." Li Yuntong said softly while handing the bag containing the silver to Liu Chengxing.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you for not remembering the villain's life. Thank you for giving you more than 100 silver. I will work for the Li family cloth shop in the future and repay your kindness." Liu Chengxing said gratefully while holding this heavy bag full of silver.

Afterwards, Li Yuntong took Lei Qingfeng to farewell and left Liu Chengxing's house.

After Li Yuntong returned to Li's mansion, she saw Mr. Li happy and smiling.

"What's wrong, Dad, why are you so happy?" Li Yuntong asked with a smile.

"Today, a new customer in Beijing ordered a large number of fabrics from our store. Since that fabric storm, most of the old customers have lost their time and have never seen any new customer ordering fabrics. So this is really happy." Mr. Li said happily.

"Really, it's great." Li Yuntong said with a smile.

"Mr. Yuan's family also sent someone to our cloth shop to order some fabrics today, and will go to Yuan's house to deliver fabrics tomorrow. Mr. Yuan has been buying fabrics from our house for many years. Even if the fabric happened that time, this is truly supporting and trusting our Li family's store." Mr. Li said with emotion.

"Dad, I will personally send the cloth to Yuan's mansion tomorrow. I will visit Mrs. Yuan by the way." Li Yuntong said with a smile.

"Okay, bring some gifts." Mr. Li instructed.

"Dad, I want to go to Yuan's mansion tomorrow, so let me go with my sister." Li Yuqing suddenly came over and said with a smile to Mr. Li.

"Okay, then you sisters and sisters will go together." Mr. Li agreed.

On the second day, Li Yuntong and Li Yuqing brought the cloth to Yuan's mansion. Their respective maids Caidie and Huanpei, Lei Qingfeng, a servant of the Li family, and Chen Shuangliang, the second in command of the Li family's cloth shop, and several men who carried the cloth.

When the group came to Yuan's mansion, they handed over the fabric ordered by Yuan's mansion to Mr. Yuan. After Chen Shuangliang collected the silver for Mr. Yuan to buy the fabric, he said goodbye with his friends and left Yuan's mansion and went back to the Li family cloth shop.

Li Yuntong and Li Yuqing passed by the lotus pond again on the way to Mrs. Yuan's room. I saw a small tender lotus pod in the center of the big pink lotus flowers, with big green lotus leaves shaped like umbrellas standing straight in the pond. The green and thin willow branches beside the lotus pond hanging to the edge of the pond, reflected in the pool water, dancing in the wind.

Soon, Li Yuntong and Li Yuqing came to Mrs. Yuan's room.

"Madam Yuan, we sisters are here to see you." Li Yuntong said with a smile.

"Madam Yuan, your complexion is much better than when we came last time. I really look much younger." Li Yuqing smiled sweetly.

"You sit on this stool and drink some hot tea and eat some fruits." Mrs. Yuan said enthusiastically.

"Mom, oh, the two Li girls are here too." Suddenly, Yuan Zhiyuan walked in and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yuan, long time no see you." Li Yuntong said with a smile.

"Zhiyuan, take these sisters to the pavilion and sit down. Yuntong and Yuqing, you can have lunch at my house at noon." Mrs. Yuan said enthusiastically.

"Okay, Mrs. Yuan." Li Yuntong replied with a smile.

Then, Yuan Zhiyuan took Li Yuntong and Li Yuqing to the pavilion next to the lotus pond.

"Miss Yuntong, I heard that you had delivered goods to the capital before." Yuan Zhiyuan asked curiously.

"That's right." Li Yuntong responded with certainty.

"There are very few things happening in business in a daughter's family." Yuan Zhiyuan smiled.

"Women can do business, women can make money to support their families like men. Of course, it's just that people are not used to these things now." Li Yuntong said seriously.

"My mother asked me to learn embroidery in the boudoir since I was a child. She often said that the business at home had to be done by men, and her daughter had to find a good husband to marry her." Li Yuqing said slowly and softly with a smile.

At this time, a servant from the Yuan family brought a few plates of fresh fruits and steaming tea.

"Come on, two girls, drink hot tea and eat fruits." Yuan Zhiyuan warmly invited him while pouring steaming tea into the teacups of the two Li girls.
