C81 Stolen Business (2/2)
The purple bamboo in the courtyard was in full bloom, and a dense patch of it blocked out the scorching sun in the sky. Fragments of sunlight fell from the leaves, and bits of gold fell onto the stone path in the forest.
Passing through the small forest, Huai Jin arrived at the room that Yuwen Fei stayed in.
Everything in the room was neatly arranged, and there was no trace of a bed that had been slept in.
Huai Jin sat down on the table and touched the teapot on the table.
Everything in this room confirmed one thing, Yuwen Fei did not return last night.
Huai Jin gazed out of the window at the Purple Bamboo Forest and fell into deep thought.
Her eyebrows knitted together tightly. No, she didn't think that Yuwen Fei would be such a reckless person, but in the end, what happened between them that caused him to not return for the whole night?
The more he thought about it, the more confused Huai Jin became. His hand knocked on the table again and again without any rhythm.
His heart was thumping hard as if Yuwen Fei had met with some kind of mishap, but he was unable to calm down.
A gust of wind blew past the Violet Bamboo Forest outside the window. The leaves swayed in the wind, emitting a shrill whistle that brought a refreshing chill.
Huai Jin looked at the Purple Bamboo Forest, and her irritated heart started to calm down.
”He has Yun Jing by his side, he should be fine.” Huai Jin comforted himself in a low voice.
Furthermore, others did not know that Yuwen Fei knew martial arts, so even if he met with something, he should still have a chance to save himself.
Thinking of all these, Huai Jin's heart also slowly calmed down. Furthermore, she did not lack a single bit of her own power right now, as she still had Dan Niang … If something really were to happen to Yuwen Fei, she could still save him.
He released his grip and clenched his fist again.
Huai Jin let out a long breath of relief, ”Ran Mei, go to Honor!”
Dan Niang would never have thought that this person would arrive right after he sent the message this morning.
”young master has already decided what to do.”
Dan Niang poured the tea on the table and looked at Huai Jin in anticipation.
Although she already had other shops in her possession, as an important stronghold of the Xuanping Marquis in the capital, nothing could go wrong with it.
Moreover, Rong Ming was the first shop that Dan Niang had started to manage, and it had a different meaning in her heart.
Only after Dan Niang mentioned it, did Huai Jin remember that Dan Niang had sent a letter this morning. When Lan Ling interrupted her, she had almost forgotten about it.
Seeing Dan Niang's face filled with anticipation, Huai Jin unnaturally coughed lightly, took the cup of tea on the table, and then slowly said after taking a sip: ”Dan Niang, you should change the way you address us.”
Dan Niang was stunned, only then did she realize that the person in front of him was not her own young master, so the actual relationship between the two was already between master and servant.
Dan Niang, who had finally understood the situation, quickly changed her words, ”Master, this morning, quite a few families have come to cancel the order.”
Huai Jin put down the tea in her hand and calmly looked at Dan Niang, telling her not to panic. The current her was no longer that unruly princess from before. Raising her affability level was just a small matter to her. There was no need to be anxious. After all, this impression could not be brought up in an instant.
