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

Yu Qingli came out of the mansion, harnessed the carriage again, and galloped all the way to the shop she ran.

The lights were just coming on, and most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Occasionally, some inns and restaurants also lit lanterns in front of their doors. There were groups of people on the street, and night was gradually approaching.

Yu Qingli's carriage galloped all the way, raising countless clouds of dust. Yu Qingli, who was on the carriage, was extremely anxious. She blamed herself for this. She had thought that it would take two or three days for her father to take action against the shop, but she didn't expect that he would take action in advance. It turned out that she was careless.

"Faster"

Yu Qingli gave the order in a cold voice, and the driver did not dare to neglect it. Although he could not figure out what had happened to the young lady, her expression vaguely made people feel a little scared.

"Miss, this is the fastest. Where are we going?"

East of the city

The several shops owned by Yu Qingli are basically located in the east of the city. When her mother chose the place, she was attracted by the prosperity of the location. Most of the residents here are wealthy businessmen, as well as some wives of officials, favored concubines and the like.

Yu Qingli has three shops in this town. The two cloth shops are not small in scale. In Yu Qingli's hands, the business is even better. After her mother passed away, she has not had the energy to take care of this business. It was not until recent days that she began to remember that this is her last capital and she must not lose it.

Yu Qingli was extremely anxious, hoping that everything was not too bad.

As the carriage galloped, the sound of its rutting became faintly strange, and the driver quickly pulled the horses and stopped the carriage.

“Why did you stop suddenly?”

Yu Qingli's face was filled with anger. She reached out to lift the curtain and spoke harshly to the driver.

The driver looked innocent, "Miss, we can't go any further in this rut. The axle has cracked. It will break on the road in less than a hundred meters."

Yu Qingli jumped off the carriage and told the driver who was checking, "Take off the reins and give me a horse."

The driver was a little hesitant. If he unloaded the horse hastily, he didn't know if it would be frightened. Frightening the horse was one thing, but if the young lady accidentally fell, he would probably not be able to bear the responsibility.

“Why hasn’t it been implemented yet?”

"Miss, how about I hire a carriage for you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

The driver muttered, "Miss, can you ride a horse?"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Yu Qingli looked up and saw a tall horse galloping towards them in the night. The lights on the roadside illuminated the chestnut body of the horse, making it shine brightly, and even Yu Qingli's eyes lit up.

Murong Yanhui was riding on a horse in a black robe, with a faint smile on his lips. His bright eyes could not hide their brilliance even in the night.

Yu Qingli smiled slightly, her reinforcements had arrived.

The horse slowed down slightly when passing by Yu Qingli and the others. Murong Yan stretched out his long arm and grabbed Yu Qingli's outstretched hand. He lifted it up with force, and the next second, Yu Qingli was already sitting on the horse's back.

Yu Qingli only heard a deep male voice amidst the whistling wind, "Hold on tight."

Then, all that was left was the sound of the horses' hooves and the wind blowing towards them.

The driver of the Yu Mansion only heard the sound of horse hooves passing by his ears. When he came to his senses, the young lady had disappeared. He was horrified. Who was the man on horseback just now? Could the young lady have encountered a thief?

Neither of them spoke a word along the way. Yu Qingli was anxious, but she also knew that the horse's speed had reached its limit. If Murong Yanhui hadn't supported her from behind, she would have been thrown off the horse long ago.

The distance that would normally take an hour to cover took them less than half an hour, and they were already outside the cloth shop.

The horse gradually stopped. Murong Yan jumped off the horse and reached out to catch Yu Qingli who jumped off with her. Yu Qingli turned her head to look at the horse and recognized it at a glance as the horse named Bloody.

"Thank you, Bloody"

Murong Yanhui smiled faintly, "I thought that the person you should thank is me, right?"

Yu Qingli didn't have time to pay attention to him. Although she didn't know how he knew she was coming to this shop, as long as the destination was right, it was fine.

Seeing that Yu Qingli didn't say anything, Murong Yanhui was not angry. Anyway, he had plenty of time. After reaching an agreement with her today and playing a self-torture trick with her, Murong Yanhui returned to Yu Mansion early. Because he was bored, he slept all day.

When he woke up, Yu Qingli and the others had also returned. After habitually following Yu Qingli and observing her every move, Murong Yanhui vaguely guessed where she was going. Fortunately, he had prepared blood for a night tour today. This was really a coincidence.

Because it's getting late,

The door of the cloth shop was tightly closed. Yu Qingli walked forward and knocked on the door "bang bang bang".

After a while, the vermilion door finally opened, and a man who looked like an apprentice came out with sleepy eyes. After seeing Yu Qingli, he declined, "Miss, our shop is closed. If you want to buy fabric, please come back tomorrow."

Yu Qingli was furious. The apprentice looked like he was completely lost in sleep. How could he have closed the door and gone to sleep at this hour? He hadn't checked on the shop for half a month. How could it be in such a state?

The apprentice was about to close the door again when he was stopped by Yu Qingli. "Where's your boss? Ask him to come out and see me."

The apprentice was stunned. Whose lady is this? It's already dark, why is she here acting crazy?

“Go quickly”

Yu Qingli shouted coldly, and the majesty brought from the previous life suddenly woke the apprentice from his trance. Looking at the fierce young lady in front of him, he thought, "Okay, I'd better go in and report."

The apprentice walked in, and Yu Qingli followed him in on her own. After Murong Yanhui stopped bleeding, he also followed him into the cloth shop.

In the cloth shop, there were some cloths scattered around. Judging from the colors and materials, none of them could be considered top quality. The cloths neatly arranged behind the counter were all very ordinary cotton and linen cloths, and even silk and brocade were rare.

Yu Qingli frowned. What's going on? How can we continue this business if we don't have any good materials?

This area is located in a prosperous street and targets the wives and daughters of officials. The best-selling items on weekdays are silk and satin. The cotton cloth used by ordinary people is just a small amount, and sometimes some are given as gifts to customers to make soles for shoes.

Although Murong Yanhui didn't understand business, he couldn't help but sneer, "This shop is really interesting. There's nothing good in it. Why would they open a shop with just these materials? They should just take these fabrics to those common areas and set up a small stall."

Yu Qingli's expression changed, but she knew that what Murong Yan said was true. In this situation, there was really no point in continuing to open the store, otherwise the income for this year would not be enough to pay the rent of the store.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, had a round head, and a fat and round body. He looked like a big ball. His already slender eyes were squeezed into a slit by the fat on his face. There were two goatees under his slightly collapsed nose, and there was a hint of smile on his thick lips.

When the shopkeeper saw Yu Qingli, his expression changed immediately. He lowered his head in shame and walked forward to salute Yu Qingli respectfully.

The apprentice beside him was confused and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"

The slightly fat hand patted the apprentice's head and said, "You stupid boy, you don't recognize the real master. The young lady is here."

The apprentice glanced at Yu Qingli. The light was too dim just now and he couldn't see Yu Qingli's appearance clearly. Now he saw that although she was wearing plain clothes and cloth hairpins, her expression was vaguely fierce and noble. The arrogant look that came from her bones made people feel awe when they saw her.

Looking at the man next to her, his every move was full of nobility, and the black brocade robe he was wearing did not look like he came from an ordinary family.

"Ms. Headmaster, how come you have time to come here today?"

Yu Qingli snorted coldly, "Shopkeeper Li, if I don't come again, this shop will probably have to change its name within three days."

Shopkeeper Li had a face full of guilt, yet also a sense of unspoken grievance. Yu Qingli glanced at her and said, "If there is any hidden truth, then tell me why this good shop has become like this today."

Hearing Yu Qingli's question, Shopkeeper Li was a little surprised. "Miss, are you kidding me? I have already reported what happened in this shop to your house a long time ago."

Yu Qingli's brows were cold, and a thought flashed through her mind, "You said you had already reported it, but to whom did you report it?"

"It's like this." The apprentice next to him took over the conversation, "After the incident, our shopkeeper immediately asked me to go to the Yu Mansion to find the head lady, but I heard from the housekeeper that the lady was not at home. It made sense to tell the master about this matter first and then inform him after the lady returned. So I will report this matter to the master of the Yu Mansion for the time being."

"You mean, my father knows about this."

"Yes, that housekeeper surnamed Jiang also knows."

Yu Qingli remained silent. Murong Yanhui beside her also felt strange. Why did Yu Zhengsha hide this matter from Yu Qingli?

It seems that the relationship between this father and daughter is not as simple as it seems.

Yu Qingli thought for a moment and then said seriously, "My father is usually very busy with official duties and probably forgot about it, so I don't know the whole story. If you need anything from me in the future, you must find me in person."

"Yes," Shopkeeper Li replied seriously.

"Okay, now tell me what happened in the shop these days."
