Chapter 159 He Doesn’t Marry a Wife

Duan Yunlang didn't win over many people, so he decided to go to Qingsong Bookstore together.

"There are so many people." A classmate said with emotion.

"Yun Lang, could it be that Qingsong Bookstore has released a new version of the novel?"

"No, I met my cousin this time and heard her say that the twelfth lunar month only comes out."

“There’s a queue to buy pens and paper. Please come again in the next month.”

After one person suggested it, everyone agreed, but since they had already come out, they might as well go to a tavern not far away for a meal.

"Let's go first while he goes to say hello to his cousin." Duan Yunlang sighed secretly and entered the bookstore.

"Shopkeeper, there will be a lot of people tomorrow." Duan Yunlang squeezed in front of shopkeeper Hu and sighed.

Shopkeeper Hu mistakenly thought that Duan Yunlang had a much better impression than Duan Yunchen, so he asked with a smile: "My cousin is here to see their boss?"

"No."

"My cousin, if you have anything urgent to ask, why don't you go directly to the east courtyard and let the door know." Shopkeeper Hu lowered his voice, "There are many people in the bookstore, and it is not convenient for my boss to entertain you."

"Forget it, why don't you come out and say hello to your cousin? Let's go to the shopkeeper."

Duan Yunlang swung his legs and left. When he walked out of the bookstore door, he almost bumped into a young man.

"Sorry -" Duan Yunlang frowned when he saw the man's appearance clearly.

Isn’t that the original owner of Qingsong Bookstore?

That guy didn't deny the things, and maliciously raised the price and sold the bookstore to his cousin!

Shen Ning, the former owner of Qingsong Bookstore, did not know the second son of the Shaoqing Mansion. He smiled and said it was okay, and walked in.

Duan Yunlang curled his lips and went to meet his classmates. As soon as he stepped into the tavern, he noticed that several classmates looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong?"

A classmate said excitedly: "Yunlang, my cousin actually owns more than a dozen shops!"

Duan Yunlang became wary: "How do I know?"

Meng Fei sneered: "They have heard people talking about it since they entered the tavern."

Duan Yunlang pricked up his ears and his face turned dark: "Those people are so boring."

Meng Fei didn't say anything in front of other people. On the way back to the Imperial College, he walked a few steps behind Duan Yunlang. He reminded him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Yunlang, your sister can open such a big bookstore, or not?"

If you're smart, I won't worry too much."

The Shaoqing Mansion was so kind that Zhi Tong could only coax the common people. Miss Kou and her grandfather's family really wanted to live happily together, so how could they reveal their wealth in such a high-profile manner?

Meng Fei thought like that and gave Duan Yunlang a sympathetic look.

That silly classmate was as innocent as a child.

Just as Meng Fei had slandered, Duan Shaoqing was so angry when he heard about it that he kicked a small stick away.

Now that the niece's wealth is on display, it's easy for people to worry about whether there will be any accidents in the near future.

He just suppressed his eagerness to kill and stayed at Yadong Yamen every month without incident, trying to cope with many people's inquiries about his niece either tactfully or directly.

From the old lady's side, I also received some messages from her.

Qingsong Bookstore's sharply increased customer flow finally decreased after He Qingxiao, who was wearing official uniform, came shopping with a few legs.

Xin You invited him to dinner for this reason.

He Qingxiao wanted to refuse, but he accepted Donglai's offer after hearing that it was at Miss Kou's wine shop.

In the wine shop, the shopkeeper and waiters did not change, but the chef was replaced, and a helper cook and a waiter were added.

Chef Fou Xinyou was hired by Shen Ning, the original owner of Qingsong Bookstore, on the recommendation of Shen Ning. He is very good at cooking and can make ordinary dishes that are both delicious and tasty.

Maybe in those few months, the dozen or so shops owned by Miss Kou were mentioned repeatedly. Many people came to eat at that sparsely populated restaurant out of curiosity, and found that the food was good and the price was affordable, so it kept the customers.

When Xin You and He Qingxiao arrived, there were three tables of people eating in the lobby.

The waiter in the wine shop said "Master," and seven or eight pairs of eyes looked over.

He Qingxiao stomped her feet, with a bit of worry hidden in her eyes.

Miss Kou is at the center of heated discussions. If word spread that they had dinner together, it is likely to generate some gossip.

Looking at Xin You again, the waiter nodded lightly and generously offered to go to the private room.

There were two private rooms in the restaurant, both of which were empty at that time. The two of them entered one of them and ordered food.

While waiting for the dishes, He Qingxiao took a sip of tea and expressed her worries.

Xin You listened and laughed: "Master He is worried about his reputation? Why is he begging for that? Master He doesn't think he is good at marrying under the identity of Miss Kou, right?"

What she asked for was to bring justice to her mother and let the person who harmed her get the punishment she deserved.

As for the rest——

Xin You glanced deeply at the man in front of her.

It's unknown whether she will be alive or not by then. It would be too luxurious for her to do otherwise.

"Speaking of which, he certainly made a profit."

He Qingxiao looked at the smiling girl with a puzzled expression.

"They know that if he has a good relationship with Mr. He, they can at least avoid some unnecessary troubles and people."

Ru Congyu's fingers lifted up the teapot and filled the cup in front of He Qingxiao with water.

"So Mr. He doesn't need to worry about that." Having said that, Xin You paused while holding the teapot and then realized, "Will this damage Mr. He's reputation and affect Mr. He's ability to marry in the future?"

Or she didn't think carefully, because most people mistakenly avoided Jin Linwei, thinking that he didn't care about reputation.

The word "get a wife" fell on his face like flying sparks. He Qingxiao had never thought that she was a thin-skinned person, but at this moment, she could clearly feel her face getting hot quickly.

He thought he must be blushing.

Xin You put the teapot down and took a sip of tea.

What she said was obviously untrue, but Mr. He's reaction seemed like she had become a slut...

Being poor and shy, how could he become the envoy of Jinlinwei Town?

He Qingxiao coughed slightly, and her face returned to normal: "Miss Kou is worrying too much, he has no intention of marrying."

When the word "get a wife" was spoken in front of her, it was inexplicably filled with heat, and behind the heat was an indescribable astringency.

He Qingxiao didn't want to think deeply about why.

Xin You unexpectedly raised her eyebrows because of his words: "Master He, aren't you planning to get married?"

"Um."

Xin You could tell that Mr. He was not serious about what he said.

She was not a very curious person, but at that moment she wanted to ask why.

"We're having dinner." The waiter's voice came from outside the dining room.

Soon the waiter came in with a tray and placed several plates of food on the table one by one.

The aroma of the food dispelled the previous atmosphere, and Xin You seemed to have forgotten her curiosity and assumed the role of host.

"Master He, do you drink?"

"Just have tea, there's something going on in Dongwu Yamen." He Qingxiao declined politely.

His intuition told him that he should stay calm in front of her to maintain his perfect sanity.

Xin You didn't try to persuade her. She picked up a piece of red oil belly silk with chopsticks, but stopped when she looked at the wrong person.

A picture suddenly unfolded in front of her. In the picture, the person in front of her, Zheng Fu, and the second prince, Prince Qing.
