Chapter 24: Plans and Tracking (1/2)
Su Qianqian together with other concubines in the mansion has taken away the remains of Bai Aoxue ’s mother after her death just as Bai Aoxue expected.
What Xiangxue reported when she came back was similar to what Mumian said.
”Miss, according to the information I just got, that rice shop has been profitable for all these years, while the antique shop is not doing well since Concubine Su is arrogant and often takes advantage of the guests. Now few people visit there.”
After listening to Xiangxue’s words, Bai Aoxue sneered, and then slightly nodded, indicating that Xiangxue was allowed to continue.
”Even though rice shop is profitable, its profit is used to patch up the deficit of antique shop because of the huge loss of the restaurant. Concubine Su basically did not make any money in the past few years.” Xiangxue immediately finished.
”Why didn’t Concubine Su transfer the ownership of the restaurant to someone else?” Mumian was puzzled at aside.
”She dared not. She can't get through my uncle unless she was tired of living. Not to mention what my father would say. ”Clever of Aoxue answered Mumian.
”But, Miss. I just know that it seems that she has been keeping in touch with buyers these days. She wants to transfer the restaurant.” Xiangxue shot the news she pried.
”Miss, what should we do? This is left by my lady for you!” Mumian couldn’t calm down. She hurriedly shouted.
Bai Aoxue also fell into meditation for Xiangxue’s words. And she didn’t even think about that Su Qianqian would be as bold as brass.
”Xiangxue, do you know whether Concubine Su has found a buyer?” Bai Aoxue turned to look at Xiangxue, asked calmly.
”Miss, I heard that Concubine Su has found a few buyers, but they all know those twists and didn’t want to get involved. They all refused Concubine Su.” Xiangxue saved the surprised news for last.
Mumian, calmed her mood a little and just wanted to talk after she heard the words of Xiangxue.
”However, there is a buyer who has taken a fancy to the location of the antique shop. He has already signed a contract with Concubine Su and only waits for signature and title deed.” Xiangxue said, leaving no time for Mumian to come to herself.
”Buyer, who is he?” Bai Aoxue knew that this man was apparently not an ordinary people since he dared to get involved in such a trouble.
Xiangxue secretly observed the expression of Bai Aoxue but was still disappointed. Bai Aoxue did not show a trace of surprise or confusion.
”He belongs to Nalan family—ranking first among the Four Families of Great Continent. The person who wants to buy the restaurant is the next landlord Youhong Nalan.” Xiangxue told Bai Aoxue what she has inquired.
”Youhong Nalan? Ah, I don’t expect this naïve young man Nalan would want to roil the water even more turbid.” Bai Aoxue smiled gently.
She was not frightened by Youhong Nalan’s title and family background at all.
”Miss, what should we do now? I heard that Youhong Nalan is crafty and odd. He is not easy to be convinced.” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue anxiously.
Xiangxue, after hearing that ”crafty and odd” of Mumian, twitched the corners of her mouth.
And looking at entirely different expressions of them, Bai Aoxue guessed that Xiangxue and Youhong Nalan had some special relationship although she did not say anything.
”Mumian, don't worry, even though Concubine Su wants to resell the restaurant, it belongs to me. She had no choice.” Bai Aoxue comforted Mumian.
”Yeah, Mumian, you don't need to worry. Miss has her own ways. We need to have faith in her.” Xiangxue also hurriedly comforted innocent Mumian.
Mumian also felt that she should give Bai Aoxue more trust.
The grievances and humiliations of Mumian for these years have been dissolved by Bai Aoxue and were paid back to those people.
This kind of Bai Aoxue had a convincing momentum and an air of assuring.
Stareing at the ever-changing facial expression of Mumian, Bai Aoxue immediately knew what she was thinking.
”Miss, Concubine Su is such a jerk. We cannot let things happen like this as she wished!” Mumian sternly looked at Bai Aoxue .
Bai Aoxue just smiled after listening to Mumian.
As for how to tame Su Qianqian and her daughter, Bai Aoxue has already had her plans. If they didn’t go this far, Bai Aoxue will not do anything. Since they were impenitence, they should go to hell.
She never felt that she was nice. In such a complicated world, if she wanted to live, the only way was to be stronger.
She could survive from thousands of people and stood proudly at the top mountain in the preceding world.
Then, now in the troubled era of cold weapon, she would certainly be able to stand on the peak and live a free and unfettered life!
”Well, Mumian, don’t worry. We need a long-term plan about how to defend them. You could leave and take a rest since it’s already so late.” Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian and Xiangxue, and what was on her mind was not about Su Qianqian .
After listening to Bai Aoxue ’s words, Mumian and Xiangxue presented respects, and then slowly retreated.
Bai Aoxue looked at the dim sky and sighed slightly.
Stepping forward to the bed, she took out the nocturnal subterfuge cloth that she wore last time from under the bed.
”Something exciting would happen tonight.” Looking at the houses with flickering lights outside the window, Bai Aoxue said to herself.
Xiangxue and Mumian who just retreated each returned to their room.
Xiangxue, deftly closed her room door and then took out what she needed from a bag in front of the bed after checking around carefully.
Bai Aoxue would be shocked if she saw the scene, because the thing that Xiangxue took out was nothing else but a suit of nocturnal subterfuge clothed a night-walker needed.
Swiftly putting on the suit, Xiangxue immediately turned from a petite maidservant to a powerful mysterious night killer.
Secretly opening a slice of a window, Xiangxue looked around with vigilance and then quietly closed the window after making sure that Bai Aoxue and Mumian have turned off the lights in their rooms.
