The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Chapter 372 The plan failed

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

After lunch, Yu Ying was about to leave when Ye Ling quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister-in-law, please sit still. Senior Brother Ji, let's discuss some serious business. I saw a small path on the left just after entering the mountain gate. A little further in, there's a two-story building. Why is it abandoned?"

"I don't know when it was built. We don't use it now for two reasons. First, it's too close to the mountain gate and inconvenient. Second, the place is surrounded by huge rock cliffs on three sides, making it difficult to expand. It's too small to be used for anything, so there's no need to renovate it and we basically threw it away," said Ji Ruochen.

"Great, Senior Brother Ji, can I renovate it and use it to start a small business? Make some money?"

Ji Ruochen was confused: "Doing business? What kind of business are you doing in Langya Pavilion? Making money? Don't you have any money to spend? Yuan Yuan, go get the money..."

"Wait, wait," Ye Ling said quickly, "I have money. I just don't want to live a life of idleness. You guys won't let me leave the mountain gate, and I'm almost bored to death. You have the final say on the land and houses of Langya Pavilion, so I came to ask you. I can pay the rent."

"What's the point of rent? As long as I'm here, Langya Pavilion is yours. But why did you choose that place? That building..."

Seeing Ji Ruochen hesitate to speak, Ye Ling immediately became interested: "What's wrong with that building? Is there a story? Is it haunted? Is it a haunted house?"

"It's not a haunted house, but I heard someone died there. I'm not sure how, but it happened about twenty years ago."

"It's not a big deal. I've killed so many people, why would I be worried about him killing people? It doesn't matter."

"What kind of business do you want to start? Have you asked the Pavilion Master? Does he agree?" Ji Ruochen asked three times in a row.

"I haven't asked. Why don't I ask you first? I'll ask my senior brother if I have a place. I want to... open a restaurant."

"What?" Ji Ruochen was surprised: "You opened a restaurant in Langya Pavilion?"

"What else? If the people of Langya Pavilion want to have some fun, they have to go down the mountain through formalities. It's too much trouble, and everyone is tired of eating from the same pot. I have a kind heart and enjoy helping others. You could say that good things should be kept within the family! And, most importantly, we can find work for my sisters so that they can all earn their own living and not rely on you men."

"Your sister?"

"Yes! Su Su, Meng Jing, Qian Qing and others. Of course, if you are willing, you can also join us. We can make money without relying on men," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"If my husband agrees, I have no problem with that." Yu Ying really wanted to join Ye Ling's circle.

"You should go ask the Pavilion Master first. I think he probably won't let you do this," said Ji Ruochen.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go first."

"Let's go together, husband, let's go." Yu Ying also followed Ye Ling and left.

The two walked for a while and chatted for a while before parting.

Yu Ying sighed slightly as she watched Ye Ling's retreating figure. "I really envy her. She's good at martial arts and can talk. My husband has never been so happy to have a meal with me as he is today. Today, because Ye Ling is here, I even remember clearly what she doesn't want to eat."

"Miss, after all, we have known each other for a long time."

"You're right. The only thing my grandfather told me before he left was: Don't mess with Ye Ling, and don't talk behind her back. Because Langya Pavilion is her territory, the Pavilion Master and the three envoys are all her brothers. Others are really envious of her."

"Miss, do you really want to join her? Open a restaurant together?"

"If she invites me, I will. Let's go back." Yu Ying said and walked slowly onto the suspension bridge. She was no longer afraid.

Ye Ling came to Ganlu Palace. Mo Yufeng was taking a nap, so she stayed in the study and waited.

An hour later, Mo Yufeng woke up, and Ma Tao quickly reported: "The eldest lady has been here for a long time and is in the study."

"I got it. You can go and get busy." Mo Yufeng entered the study and saw Ye Ling sleeping on four cushions lined up in a row. He turned around and went back to his resting room, brought out a thin blanket, and told the people outside to count and move around.

Mo Yufeng returned to the study, gently covered Ye Ling with a blanket, and then sat down at the desk to start reading the letters.

Because what you think about during the day you dream about at night, so Ye Ling had a daydream. She dreamed that Jiuyou came back, but he was holding Princess Zhao in his hand, saying that he came back to say goodbye to her. In the dream, she cried, and cried very sadly.

"Junior sister? Junior sister? Wake up, wake up." A man's voice came, very vague.

Suddenly, Ye Ling woke up with a start, sat up, and looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face: "Senior Brother Yue? What are you doing?"

"Why do you want to return it to me? What did you dream about? You cried so sadly that I couldn't wake you up even if I called you," Yue Chi said.

"I..." Ye Ling only then realized that she had shed tears in her sleep, and quickly wiped them away: "I... was just dreaming, you heard it wrong, I didn't cry."

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Yue Chi didn't want to say more, because he and Mo Yufeng knew in their hearts that he must have dreamed about Jiuyou.

"What do you want from me?" Mo Yufeng asked.

Ye Ling expressed his idea of ​​opening a restaurant, and it was just as Ji Ruochen expected.

Mo Yufeng firmly disagreed: "You have no money to spend? Senior Brother will give it to you, don't make trouble."

"Brother, I have money, but I don't want to wander around doing nothing all day like a burden."

"Who said you were a burden?"

"No one told me, I just felt bored."

"That won't work either. Opening a restaurant will cause chaos. Give up this idea," Mo Yufeng said firmly.

"Junior Sister" Yue Chi continued, "The place you chose is very unlucky. People have died there."

"I've even killed someone."

"Two different things. It is said that seven or eight years ago, a maid in the pavilion ate the forbidden fruit and got pregnant. The man did not want to take responsibility, and she was afraid of being drowned in the pond if she was discovered, so she hanged herself in that building. When she was found, she was almost rotten to the core, and there were flies and maggots everywhere. You could smell the stench from far away," Yue Chi said with a frown.

Ye Ling felt sick after hearing this: "Hey~ If someone is missing, why don't you look for them quickly? Why is he so disgusting?"

"That place is remote, so no one thought of it. Later, someone smelled a foul odor and discovered it. The baby in her belly was over six months old. I heard it was... horrifying. Cai Yang should have seen that scene. If you don't believe me, go ask him."

"I'd better not ask. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."

"Junior Sister," Yue Chi whispered mysteriously, "Do you know that since that incident, that building has become a forbidden area? It's said that at night, people often hear a woman's miserable cries, which are particularly creepy. Are you still planning to open a restaurant there?"

Ye Ling shook her head like a rattle: "Too disgusting, no no no."

Yue Chi smiled slightly: "Junior sister, listen to the Pavilion Master, don't bother. You can grow some vegetables, flowers, etc. If you don't have money, just tell me. I have plenty. Anyway, I can't spend it all by myself."

"I'm not poor, so I don't have to open it, but... I'm going to take a big risk and go see that building tomorrow. I've only seen it from a distance on the hillside before."

"Where are you going? It's disgusting."

"The body hasn't been dealt with yet?" Ye Ling was surprised.

"It's been dealt with, but it's all abandoned. It's boring."

"I'm bored. Since you won't let me open the restaurant, I'll find something exciting. I'll go see tonight if there are any ghosts."

"No," Mo Yufeng still disagreed: "It's late at night, go to sleep and don't do anything stupid."

"Oh!" Ye Ling could only agree.

Around noon of the second day, the restless person began to form her expedition team, which included Su Su, Qian Qing and others.

But things went against our wishes. The weather suddenly changed and it started to rain heavily, disrupting all the plans.

Ye Ling stayed alone in her room in the west courtyard, leaning against the window to watch the rain, her mind racing: Mengmeng, where did Jiuyou and the others go? Did they also get caught in the heavy rain?

"Master, you said you wouldn't think about him anymore, so why is it that whenever you have time, your mind is full of Jiuyou?"

"Yes! I really hope that at this moment, he can suddenly appear and say that he regretted it halfway. Don't you think it's ridiculous and a bit wishful thinking? Senior Brother Xuanyuan said that once a man decides on something, he will not easily turn back. So, he won't regret it, right?"

"Master, please stop imagining things. If you're really bored, just practice some martial arts."

"I've been practicing for several hours every day these past few days, isn't that enough? I originally wanted to open a restaurant, but my senior brother wouldn't let me. But now I think he's right. Opening a restaurant here will disrupt the balance of Langya Pavilion's system and easily cause chaos. So I'll just stay here for a while. After all, we're not short of money."

"That's right, we are not short of money. You should practice martial arts well and make full preparations to become the top martial arts master."

Just as Ye Ling was lost in thought, Qian Qing entered the courtyard holding an umbrella. "Miss, someone from Dizi Hall said you have a guest. He's waiting for you in the living room."

"Who is it?"

"Yue Kun."

"Yue Kun? Why is he here?" Ye Ling muttered, picked up the umbrella and left.

In the living room of Dizi Hall, Yue Kun had already obtained the information he wanted and was chatting with Yue Chi. When he saw Ye Ling enter, he stood up and said, "Miss Ye."

"General Yue, long time no see!" Ye Ling said with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, Miss Ye?"

"Very good, please take a seat and let's talk." Ye Ling acted like a host. "General Yue, what business has brought you to Langya Pavilion? If it's inconvenient to talk about it, you don't have to."

"It's not inconvenient at all. I just asked Langya Pavilion for some information. I've already got the news about the remnants of Phoenix Mountain," Yue Kun said.

"Ohhhh, I know about that."

"I didn't expect you had already killed Liang Jian."

"It's just a coincidence, Liangxue just escaped."

"It's okay. Once we get down the mountain, I'll send him a warrant to arrest him and see where he can hide." Yue Kun said as he took out a letter: "Miss Ye, this is a letter from His Majesty himself, for you."

A guard took the letter and handed it to Ye Ling. Ye Ling did not rush to read it, but put it away and said: "I will read it when I have time."

"Okay, if you get a reply, you can continue using that secret village. Also...if Blood Prince comes looking for you, please let me know so he can pass a message to His Majesty."

"Blood Prince? What happened to him?" Ye Ling asked.
