Chapter 457 - 457 Crashing the Door, Changing Ownership of the Store
Reborn to Be A Noble Wife
âItâs not something that can be rushed right now, father has it in his mind anyway, but itâs going to be at least a while before father may have to check it out.â
Qu Mingcheng soothed her.
Qu Qiuyan although not very willing, but also can only be first, this time she is not dare to go to the father, originally thought it was just a sentence of things, but did not think that the motherâs things involved in their own, on this point, Qu Qiuyan the more I think the more aggrieved.
They are still small, sometimes see through, but the mother must be more than their own experience, did not remind themselves to pay attention to the Jingyu County gentleman not to mention, but also actually drag their feet, if not the mother of this action, today a store thing, really is not a thing.
Qu Qiuyan here the more you think the more angry, but also the more you think the more aggrieved, lying on the table and crying for a while.
After Qu Mingcheng came out of the Hibiscus Pavilion, he thought about not going to look for Qu Zhizhen, and went straight back to the East Courtyard, his fatherâs intention, of course, was to let himself have less contact with his mother and sister, and at this time, his father was in a fit of anger, and if he knew that he was meddling in the matter again, he was bound to reprimand himself.
Since the last time, Qu Mingcheng is also considered to have learned from his mistakes, that time although he had been planning for a long time, but in the end, he was wrongly expected Qu Mo Yingâs side of the people to be loyal to her.
This next step requires even more care to be taken!
After returning to the East Mansion from the side door, Qu Mingcheng called for a carriage to go out from the East Mansion, he had to go to that store first to take a look, there was always some deep meaning when his mother said so.
The carriage came all the way over to the entrance of the store, and when he looked at the empty plaque on it, the coachman froze as well.
âWhat, itâs here?â Qu Mingcheng felt the carriage stop and said to the coachman from inside.
âThe second prince â¦â¦ slave clearly remembered that it was here â¦â¦ but now â¦â¦ it seems that it is not!â The coachman said in confusion.
The boy picked the curtain, Qu Mingcheng got down from the carriage, took a look at the store in front of him, also froze for a moment, the door of the store was slightly closed, the entrance was empty, the most important thing was that the plaque on it was gone, couldnât see the name of the store, and the whole store looked as if it had been removed.
âIs this the place?â Qu Mingcheng asked, he really hadnât been here before.
âThis is the place, the lackey has brought pastries to Third Miss before.â After the boy looked around, he definitely said, he hadnât brought pastries to Qu Qiuyan before, and had been here several times.
âGo up and ask whatâs going on?â The store looked like something was wrong anyhow.
The boy went over, first asked the two stores on the right and left, all said they did not know what was going on, maybe the store is to be renovated, or maybe it is to be reorganized, I heard that the store was dismissed yesterday, and I heard the previous store mate say that the old store was reopened, and that he did not want the old mate, but was looking for a new one.
Hearing the boy return the words, Qu Mingcheng froze for a moment, what was Qu Mo Ying going to do? Was this to organize the people left behind by mother? Or did Qu Mo Ying discover something?
Pulling his sleeve, Qu Mingcheng brought the boy to the door of Weihui, and the boy went up and gently knocked on the door.
But no response was heard from inside.
The boy carefully pushed open the door, but saw the door over a boy, eyes cold look at him, should only just come over, hand stretched out trying to open the door.
The light outside the store was bright, the store was dim, just like this the two boys confronted each other, and the Qu Mansionâs boy was scared and couldnât help but take a step back, inexplicably balking.
Qu Mingcheng frowned and took a step forward himself, looking at the boy, or rather the little fellow, who came out from inside.
âWhere is your shopkeeper?â Qu Mingcheng asked.
The little fellow who came out inside glanced at Qu Mingcheng and gave him a sideways salute, âOur shopkeeper is not in the store right now, may I ask what this gentleman is looking for from our shopkeeper?â
âIâm from the Qu Mansion, you know?â Qu Mingcheng hesitated and asked.
The fellow didnât look like he recognized it and looked Qu Mingcheng up and down, âThis gentleman, Iâm a fellow who was only recruited and donât know what happened before this store.â
Does that mean you donât know anything?
Qu Mingchengâs brows furrowed more and more, this matter was fundamentally different from what he had originally thought.
âDo you know which one is the proprietor of your store?â Qu Mingcheng asked again.
The fellow shook his head, âI donât know, may I ask who the gentleman is looking for?â
âI am your proprietorâs son.â Qu Mingcheng unhappily said, raising his eyes to look around, only then did he realize that the store was empty, there was actually nothing in it, it was particularly cold not to mention that it was also particularly strange.
Qu Mo Ying doesnât open the store anymore?
âThe son of our proprietor? What proof is there?â The fellow stopped at the doorway and looked Qu Mingcheng up and down a few times, still not intending to get out of the way.
âHey, our son is the second son of the Qu Mansion, the pastry store you have here has always been owned by our Mansion, if you donât know, look for your old man here to come over, itâs bound to be clear.â The boy stood out and said loudly.
âThere are no more old people here, all dismissed.â The fellow nonchalantly glanced at the boy and said.
âHow come they all resigned, what happened?â Qu Mingcheng asked in a deep voice.
âI really donât know about this, when I came here there was no one left, saying that the work was not good all quit, the shopkeeper wants to find new people and reopen the store.â Buddy said.
Thatâs as good a thing to say as not to say.
âWhen will your shopkeeper come back?â Qu Mingcheng said impatiently.
âIâm not sure about this, it seems like theyâre going out to get goods, but I donât know if itâs around here or somewhere else, Iâve only just arrived and donât dare to ask too much.â The fellowâs answer was still dripping.
But it pissed Qu Mingcheng off.
âYou know everything, what did you get you as a fellow for?â The boy glared at the fellow in exasperation.
âI donât know, maybe itâs because Iâm better at working!â The mate stretched his arms to show that he had the strength.
Seeing such an unintelligent look, Qu Mingcheng was furious, raised his eyes to look at the store and lifted his foot to go in, but was stopped by the fellow, âThis gentleman please stay, there is no one else in the store right now, and they donât sell anything.â
âOur duke is your proprietor.â Qu Mingcheng stopped in his tracks, and the boy beside him rebuked loudly.
âOur proprietorâs surname is Yue, not Qu.â The partner house justified, âI suddenly remembered, just now you gentlemen said it was Quâs house, but our store name was originally clearly started with the word Yue, and the fellows on the side said that our proprietor was surnamed Yue, which gave us the store name that started with Yue.â
Qu Mingcheng was about to be laughed at, he actually let an uninformed fellow stop him, and for such a reason.
âIâm afraid you donât know, the surname Yue is the main mother of our house, but she passed away long ago, now this store is under the control of our fourth miss, and our fourth miss is surnamed Qu.â The boy servant said.
âThis gentleman is also Fourth Miss Quâs own brother? Also born of the main mother?â The fellow seemed to be a more forceful one, and actually didnât budge, looking at Qu Mingcheng with a skeptical face.
It only made a Qu Mingchengâs face cold with anger.
He was born of the Yu clan, certainly not the Yue clan.
Although he was indeed Qu Mo Yingâs real brother, he was also unwilling to admit that he was born to Yue.
âThis gentleman should please, Iâm really not clear about these things, even if itâs the matter of the party, itâs also the people in the store on the side who told me, our shopkeeper didnât say anything, even if youâre really sent by the Fourth Miss Qu, I wouldnât dare to let you in at this time.â The fellow reached out and touched his head, tangled.
The foot was half a step but not allowed.
Qu Mingcheng was really exasperated, reached out and pointed at the fellow, then didnât say a word, turned around and walked away, itâs useless to say anything to an idiot who doesnât know anything, itâs better to wait for that shopkeeper to come back and talk about it, anyway, this matter canât be rushed for a while.
The boy glared fiercely at the fellow twice and turned around to follow Qu Mingcheng away.
When the two of them left, the fellow closed the door, this time it wasnât left ajar, it was just shut tight, and marched off to the backyard.
In the main house in the backyard, Zhao Gongzi was sitting in the narrow main room, with only a table in the middle of it, with some case files on the tabletop, frowning as he examined them.
âMaster, itâs people from the Qu Mansion coming over.â As soon as the fellow entered the door, what looked stupid just now, immediately cleared up, his eyes were stern, and at a glance, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.
âSomeone from the Qu Mansion? What does Fourth Miss Qu have to do?â Mr. Zhao said carelessly, without lifting his head, he picked up the tealight in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then slowly put it down.
The eyes stayed on the case file in front of him, and he didnât lift his head.
âItâs not Fourth Miss Quâs person, saying something about Fourth Miss Quâs brother, and saying something about this store being owned by the Qu Mansion, itâs really uninformed.â The fellow said.
âFourth Miss Quâs brother?â Mr. Zhao finally raised his head.
Qu House of things he let people check very clearly, this Qu four miss is not what the pro brother, there is that step room born a pair of children, and this step room is a ruthless, I heard that this Qu four miss born, originally no eye disease, because of the reason of this step room.
This stepfamily is a vicious, poisonous woman with a heart of gold.
It goes without saying that this one right here is the son born of that woman.
âWhat was asked?â Zhao Gongzi said faintly.
âIt seems like he wants to see the shopkeeper of this store, and a moment later he asked the old man of the store, looking at this should be that he still doesnât know about the matter of the storeâs change of ownership.â The fellow recalled Qu Mingchengâs appearance just now and summarized, âMaster, what does this son of the Qu family mean, is it possible that he still wants the store back? The yamenâs seal has already been stamped, what is the meaning of going back on his word like this?â
Mr. Zhao quietly didnât speak, his eyes raised to look out the window for a long time before he said, âPass a message to the Fourth Miss Qu, let her find out for herself why this Mr. Qu came over, it looks like this has some meaning, let her find out for herself!â
âWhat about those people â¦â¦?â The mate said hesitantly.
âIf Fourth Miss Qu wants it, it s not impossible to add some money â¦â¦ to buy it for her.â Zhao Gongzi said carelessly.
âYes, master!â The fellow answered and retreated!
