After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

"You should take back the gifts that Master sent. Qingli really can't accept such valuable gifts!"

"Miss, you're welcome. Compared to your life-saving grace, these treasures are nothing. Besides, aren't you short of cash right now? Consider these as a small investment for you."

Yu Qingli said seriously, "If that's the case, then these things will be deducted from the profits that Qingli deserves in the future."

Young Master Yu looked a little unhappy, "Miss, don't you consider me a friend?"

"Qingli definitely didn't mean that."

"Well, today, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to visit the shop with me."

"Alright!"

Since it was an invitation from a partner, Yu Qingli had no reason to refuse. Moreover, since Mr. Yu was the investor, he naturally had reason to visit the store.

"Let's set off immediately without further delay. Didn't the young lady say there would be a rainstorm in the evening?"

Yu Qingli smiled upon hearing this and said, "Sir, you are absolutely right. Let me pack up a bit and then I will go with you right away."

Young Master Yu nodded slightly. He had already waited for such a long time, so he didn't mind waiting for a while.

Yu Qingli ordered, "Meihong, go tell father that Master Yu and I are going out for a while and will be back before dinner."

Mei Hong was stunned, "Miss, then this servant..."

"Oh, your wounds haven't healed yet, and it's too humid outside. If you catch typhoid, it won't be good. You don't need to follow me today."

Mei Hong said gratefully: "Thank you for your consideration, Miss, but..."

Mei Hong glanced at Master Yu. Would it be bad for the young lady's reputation if a man and a woman went out alone? If the eldest prince knew about this, would it cause unnecessary misunderstandings? Although Master Yu was in poor health, he was still a man, wasn't he?

Mei Hong's thoughts were in turmoil, but she couldn't say anything in front of Mr. Yu, so she could only worry in her heart.

Master Yu seemed to see that Mei Hong had something to say, so he stood up and walked out, "Then I'll wait for you outside the mansion, young lady."

Yu Qingli bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be right there."

After Master Yu left, Mei Hong said with a worried look on her face, "Miss, is it inappropriate for you to go out with this master like this?"

"What's wrong?"

"The young lady is still unmarried. If the eldest prince knew about this, wouldn't it be..."

Yu Qingli felt disgusted in her heart, but remained calm on the surface. "Don't worry, Meihong. Master Yu and I are just business partners. Besides, he and my father are old acquaintances. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, there wouldn't be any misunderstanding."

"But I'm still a little worried. How about I go with the young lady? I'll feel more at ease staying with her."

He really seems to be a loyal and diligent servant, but who can know what kind of intentions are hidden behind such concern?

Yu Qingli sneered inwardly. She was almost certain that Mei Hong's actions were ostensibly out of concern for her safety, but in reality, she was probably trying to find something to hold against her. She recalled her past life, and if Mei Hong hadn't instigated her, how could she have been banished to the cold palace?

"No need, Meihong, just rest and recuperate in the mansion. I'll be back soon after going to the store with Master Yu."

Yu Qingli was unwilling to give Mei Hong the opportunity to explore her background! In this life, she would be cautious against this enemy around her.

"Miss……"

"Alright, Meihong, go tell father! Master Yu is still waiting outside. I should leave now."

After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she walked along the stone path towards the outside of the mansion. It had just rained, making the pebbles under her feet very slippery. The flowers and plants on both sides made Yu Qingli's skirt a little damp, but it could not stop Yu Qingli's steps at all.

Yu Qingli didn't know whether Mei Hong had reported to Yu Zhengsha. When she walked out of the mansion, she saw a gorgeously decorated carriage parked at the door. It was even more luxurious than the one Murong Yan had ridden in before.

"Ms. Yu!"

Young Master Yu had clear features and lifted the curtain with his slender white fingers, greeting Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli walked a few steps to the carriage and got on using the stepping stone.

The carriage was as luxurious as imagined. Because it was summer, the seats were covered with fine bamboo mats. The carriage was very spacious, with a small coffee table in the middle. The coffee table was hollow and filled with ice cubes. The cool breeze made the carriage even cooler. On the coffee table was freshly brewed tea.

The tea fragrance is lingering and extremely refreshing.

Yu Qingli sat down opposite Master Yu. Master Yu raised his hand and lowered the bamboo curtain on the carriage, and then the carriage slowly began to move.

Young Master Yu looked a little pale, his tightly pursed lips turning pale. Yu Qingli asked with concern, "Young Master, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go to the shop today?"

Young Master Yu shook his head, and after a long while he recovered a little, he said with some self-mockery, "Excuse me, young lady. This is an old illness that I've had since I was a child. The fortune teller said I wouldn't live past twenty, but now these years seem like stolen years. I'm already very satisfied."

"Sir, you are quite open-minded. If you don't mind, you can just call Qingli by her name. Qingli is willing to be your friend."

Master Yu smiled faintly and said, "Then Qingli, please don't call me Master Yu. My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Yu. I consider myself a few years older than you, so why don't you just call me Big Brother?"

Yu Qingli's eyes lit up. "Brother Xiao, this is really Qingli marrying up. I just got the president of the Chamber of Commerce as my big brother. Wouldn't it be like a fish in water in the Luoyang business world in the future?"

Young Master Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. This Yu Qingli was really humorous.

The two of them talked along the way, and time passed quickly. Before they knew it, they had arrived in front of the shop that Yu Qingli had bought.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Yu Qingli noticed the difference in the shop. The shop, which was originally empty, was now filled with grain. Silk was originally sold here, but the shop front at the door had now been converted into a huge wooden barrel, filled with various grains.

Yu Qingli glanced at the tall wooden barrel. It was obvious that Xiao Yu had already considered that the heavy rain would wet the food, so he made such arrangements.

Although it looks a bit weird, it has to be said that it is an extremely good method.

"Brother Xiao is indeed a master of business. He transformed this shop into this in just one day."

"Qingli, you're too kind. It's just the result of years of experience. If you were my age, you would be even better than me."

The two were chatting and laughing when a voice rang out from Yu Qingli's ear, "Lili, why are you here?"

Yu Qingli turned her head and saw the beautiful "blood-colored" horse. On the tall horse, Murong Yanhui was dressed in black, with a crossbow on his shoulder. There were also a few wild rabbits hanging on the horse's back. It was obvious that he had just returned from hunting.

Yu Qingli frowned. It seemed that this prince was really free to go hunting in such a hot summer!

Murong Yanhui leaped off her horse and strode to Yu Qingli's front. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes revealed a devilish smile, "What a coincidence!"

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze wandered between Yu Qingli and that Young Master Yu. How did these two get together?

"Xiao Yu? Why don't you stay at home and take a good rest? You actually have the energy to go shopping with my Lili?" Although they were words of concern, Yu Qingli heard a hint of mockery in them.

Young Master Yu bowed respectfully to Murong Yanhui and said, "Prince Yan is in such a good mood. He's actually going hunting in such hot weather."

"Nothing. It's hot, and I don't have much of an appetite. I suddenly thought of getting some rabbit meat. You know, I never treat myself badly."

Listening to Murong Yanhui's tone, these two people seemed very familiar.

I can't help but feel curious. How many people does Murong Yanhui know?

Xiao Yu also laughed and said, "That's true. The prince is generous and frank by nature. He lives so freely. This makes Xiao envy him!"

Yu Qingli couldn't help but twitch her brows. "Bold and frank?" It was strange to use such a word to describe Murong Yanhui. Why did she always feel that he was as cunning as a thousand-year-old fox every time she saw him?

"Hahaha! This kind of evaluation is what I like!"

Murong Yanhui laughed heartily, appearing quite spontaneous. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, and it's obvious you two haven't had your meal yet. How about we dine together today? I see this place is quite close to the Taotie Tower, so why not go there?"

Murong Yanhui finished speaking without caring whether Yu Qingli and the others objected. He walked straight forward, pulled Yu Qingli's hand, jumped onto the horse, and said, "Xiao Yu, the king and Lili will go ahead and wait for you in the Taotie Tower!"

The words disappeared in the cool breeze after the summer rain along with the sound of horse hooves.

Yu Qingli felt a little bit unbelievable. In broad daylight, it seemed that she was kidnapped by this man named Murong Yanhui!

The sound of the wind whistled past her ears, and Yu Qingli felt that her slender waist was being hugged so tightly that she could hardly breathe. Just as she was about to speak, she felt Murong Yanhui's heavy breath behind her, and a thought flashed through her mind.

Is he angry?!

What Yu Qingli didn't understand was, what on earth was Murong Yanhui so angry about?!

Murong Yanhui ran wildly all the way, leaving Master Yu's carriage far behind. The splashing water soaked the clothes of the passers-by on both sides.

"Murong Yanhui, stop right there!"

Yu Qingli couldn't help but scream loudly, and Murong Yan's response to her was to hug her waist even tighter, almost as if to break it.

Yu Qingli was extremely depressed. What on earth was this damn man going crazy for?!

Murong Yanhui turned a deaf ear and ran away with Yu Qingli, but he went straight past the Taotie Tower and ran towards the dense forest on the outskirts of the city. Yu Qingli's heart tightened. Seeing that a rainstorm was about to come, what exactly was Murong Yanhui going to do?
