Nothing But A Tasty Treat
Jiang Yimian only smiled, still looking down and writing and drawing on the table, and said faintly, “The one who should be anxious is not me. Although I don’t know the purpose of that gift-giver, the one who should be anxious is him.”
After sending gifts for so many days, it’s about time they showed themself.
She wants to see who it is.
Liuer was stunned, only feeling that there was much Reason to it, and thought for a while before saying, “Do you want me to go and investigate first?”
In case that gift-giver has sinister intentions towards the Young Lady, she can also be prepared.
Jiang Yimian only waved her hand, smiling and saying, “No need, that person will take the initiative to come. You might as well think with Aunt Yun about the contents of this Capital Gazette.”
Since Lu Cijian said that she didn’t need to worry about the Ministry of Revenue, then she only needs to think about the content of the Capital Gazette.
First determine each section, and then fill in the content.
Liuer looked at the things drawn on the laid out paper on the table, stared for a long while before saying, “Is Young Lady doing this to make Bao Xiang Shop’s Business better?”
“Yes and no. In short, you will know when it’s done.”
As Two People were talking, Aunt Yun’s voice came from outside.
“Yimian, the Maid who delivered the Brocade Box is here, saying she wants to see you.”
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows and smiled, “They came really fast.”
A Purple-Clothed Woman was standing at the entrance of Bao Xiang Shop at this moment. As soon as the other party saw Jiang Yimian coming out, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Jiang, my Madam wants to see you.”
The Woman was dressed as a Maid, but she had an imposing manner.
Although she revealed a bit of a Smile when she saw her, the Smile was obviously not from the heart.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the person in front of her and asked, “Who is your Madam?”
The Purple-Clothed Woman straightened her back and said, “Duchess Anguo.”
Jiang Yimian was a little surprised. She had thought that the Chu Prince was looking for her, but she never thought it would be Duchess Anguo.
This person is Lu Chengyuan’s second wife, and no matter how you look at it, she is the opposite of Lu Cijian. She doesn’t know what her purpose is in suddenly looking for her.
Jiang Yimian was a little confused as she followed the Purple-Clothed Maid all the way to Yingchun Restaurant.
If she didn’t really want to know what this person was up to, she wouldn’t have followed.
Two People stopped in front of a private room on the Third Floor.
The Purple-Clothed Woman knocked on the door and said respectfully, “Madam, the person has been brought.”
The door carved with intricate patterns was opened from the inside.
The room was decorated very elegantly, with Murals painted on the walls, extremely exquisite, complementing the dancing Woman on the screen.
At this time, curling green smoke was burning in the Incense Burner, with a fresh and elegant fragrance, which made people feel refreshed. It is indeed the number one Restaurant in the Capital, no wonder it is liked by the Capital’s benefactors.
At this time, the Madam reclining in front of the desk was dressed in a luxurious attire, wearing the Capital’s new Cloud-Pattern Brocade Dress, and was being served snacks by the Maid beside her.
Seeing someone coming in, she didn’t make any movements, as if she didn’t see them.
It wasn’t until she finished eating a small piece of Jade Pear Cake that Chen Shuyu gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, signaled the Maids who were serving her to leave, and then opened her mouth and said, “You should know that Cijian is going to be married to Miss Xue.”
Jiang Yimian only glanced at her faintly, “Madam didn’t just ask me here to say these things, right? Why don’t you just say what you want to say?”
Chen Shuyu looked at the person in front of her a few more times upon hearing that.
The Woman was wearing a simple gray-blue long dress, which set off her elegance and tranquility, ethereal and immortal. She stood there with her back straight, without the appearance of being humble or ingratiating.
She was much more indifferent than she had imagined.
Especially that bright and moving face, coupled with that Clear and Cold refined Bearing, is no worse than those Daughters of a Prominent Family in the Capital, and even surpasses them.
With such a good Appearance, it’s no wonder that Lu Cijian likes her.
Sitting up straight, she then said, “I’m looking for you to give you some good advice.
Lu Cijian, a fake Young Master who grew up on an Estate since he was a child, has only made a little contribution now, which is nothing in the face of the entire Duke Anguo’s Residence.
Instead of being his concubine, you might as well choose another path.”
Originally, she wanted to watch the show, wanting Lu Chengyuan to see that the person his Son liked was just a Merchant’s Daughter with no background, but now, she suddenly regretted it.
Now Lu Chengyuan needs someone to help him stabilize the military power of the Imperial Guards in his hands, and Lu Lin, that good-for-nothing, can’t do it.
At present, only Lu Cijian has the possibility to do it.
Therefore, Lu Chengyuan wants Lu Cijian to follow his Plan.
But since Lu Lin can’t do it, Lu Cijian can’t do it either, otherwise, her and Lu Lin’s position in Duke Anguo’s Residence will definitely be shaken.
It was not easy to enter Duke Anguo’s Residence, and she had a stable life for so long, she would never give up the position that belonged to her Son.
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows, “I wonder what Madam Lu means?”
Chen Shuyu only sized up the person in front of her, and said with a light Smile, “Now Bao Xiang Shop’s Business is just so-so, you are clinging to Lu Cijian also for Silver, in order to enter Duke Anguo’s Residence.
I’ll tell you the truth, the Duke will not allow a Woman without any Identity or background to enter the Lu Family.
Or, at most, you can only be Lu Cijian’s bed-warming girl.
A concubine is not of much use to you, right? If you help me, only Bao Xiang Shop will exist in the Capital in the future.”
Although she doesn’t know who was behind Bao Xiang Shop before, it should be no Ordinary person.
But now that Bao Xiang Shop is declining, the benefactor behind it should have abandoned Bao Xiang Shop long ago. This Woman must have some ambition to become the Shopkeeper of Bao Xiang Shop.
Now that Bao Xiang Shop is being suppressed by Yan Yue Pavilion, she doesn’t believe that this Woman won’t be tempted by her conditions.
Since the other party doesn’t like the small gifts she sent, she might as well send a big one.
Jiang Yimian glanced at Chen Shuyu, only feeling that this Woman has something to her. If she were really a Merchant who only wanted to earn Silver, she might really listen to the other party’s words.
After all, if there is only one Bao Xiang Shop in the Capital, and it is also liked by Duchess Anguo, the Silver that can be earned will be greatly increased.
However, unfortunately, she prefers to do this kind of challenging thing herself.
Moreover, the words of the person in front of her are really not trustworthy. If she really helps the other party, she will probably be kicked away in an instant, and there will be no other chance at all.
It’s just a delicious-looking pancake, but it’s wrapped with full of Poison.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian didn’t speak, Chen Shuyu only smiled, looked at the Maid next to her and then said, “You don’t need to rush to refuse. When only Bao Xiang Shop exists in the Capital, you can have any kind of Man you want.
Although it may not be those high-ranking officials, at least you can find a good family. At that time, I will also help you.
You just need to let Lu Cijian drink this.”
Her conditions are top-notch. These lowly commoners are most likely to sell people out for a little favor.
She has arranged the other party’s remaining Days, and she doesn’t believe that this person won’t be tempted.
The Purple-Clothed Maid put an exquisite Small Porcelain Bottle on the table.
