The woman's mouth was blocked and she disappeared in an instant.

Madam Huangfu said helplessly, "Madam Hou, I'm sorry to have made a fool of our Huangfu family!"

Lin Yiwan waved her hand: "It's okay, with you at the helm, the civil strife in the Huangfu family will soon be quelled!"

Old Madam Huangfu's expression changed. Can it really be calmed down?

But Huangfu Liu hasn’t been caught yet!

She didn't dare to think too much and quickly ordered the old nanny beside her to prepare a yard for Lin Yiwan and let her go and rest first.

At this time, the old lady of the wealthy family had already returned to her home. Her daughter, Huangfu Qingqing, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what did Auntie say? How many shops did she give us?"

The woman interrupted angrily, "You wish! That old wicked woman not only refused to give us the shop, but even gave us only 10,000 taels of silver for moving expenses. Is she treating us like beggars?"

Huangfu Qingqing's face suddenly darkened. She frowned and pondered, "Mother, money will eventually run out, but the shop is different. It can make money and ensure that we have enough food and clothing!"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have any solution at all. Now that old bitch has the support of the Marquis' wife in the capital, she doesn't take me seriously at all. If I say another word, she won't even give me ten thousand taels of silver!"

Huangfu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice after a moment, "Mother, I heard that Huangfu Lingyun came to the capital this time to become Marquis Zhan Yi's concubine?"

The woman was stunned for a moment before she burst into a curse: "No wonder, I was wondering how that bitch could find such help, it turns out she relied on selling her body, she is so shameless!"

Huangfu Qingqing frowned and said, "Mother, I am no less beautiful than Huangfu Lingyun. Since she can commit herself to Zhan Yihou and ask for his help, then I can do the same!"

The woman rolled her eyes and immediately thought this was a good idea.

She spoke quickly, "My dear daughter, I am counting on you. Hurry up and dress up and go to the city gate to look for that Marquis Zhan Yi. As long as you can please him, you won't have to worry about not getting the medicine shop in Jingcheng."

Huangfu Qingqing did not hesitate and immediately took a bath and changed clothes.

She chose a very exquisite dress and headed straight for the city gate with a food box in her hand.

At this time, Zhan Yan was leading people to search for Huangfu Liu's whereabouts. He heard a secret guard come to report: "My Lord, the Marquis's wife sent someone to bring you food!"

He rode swiftly to Huangfu Qingqing and looked at her with a frown, "Who are you?"

She quickly bowed and saluted: "I, Huangfu Qingqing, am here to bring some food to the Marquis on the orders of the Marquis' wife!"

Zhan Yan nodded indifferently: "Leave it to me!"

Huangfu Qingqing didn't hand over the food box, but turned to look at the inn not far away and said, "My Lord, I want to tell you about Huangfu Liu, but this is not the place to talk!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Do you know where he is hiding?"

Huangfu Qingqing nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I do know one of his secrets!"

Zhan Yan was silent for a moment before uttering two words: "Lead the way!"

Huangfu Qingqing tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and walked quickly towards the inn.

After entering the room that had been reserved long ago, she opened the food box and said, "My Lord, these meals must be eaten while they are hot. If they get cold, I'm afraid they will affect the taste!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the food, which was very rich.

He asked calmly, "You just said that the Marquis's wife asked you to deliver the food? Does she know what you delivered?"

Huangfu Qingqing immediately replied, "I know. Without her permission, how could I dare to deliver the food to the Marquis?"

"Bang!" The sharp sword in Zhan Yan's hand suddenly chopped down on the table, immediately scaring Huangfu Qingqing so much that she covered her ears and screamed.

She had never imagined that this handsome man who looked very elegant could be so scary when he suddenly lost his temper.

The murderous intent in his eyes almost turned into reality, making her feel cold all over.

When she realized what was happening, she asked in a trembling voice, "My Lord, what on earth did I do to anger you?"

Zhan Yan sneered, "How dare you so brazenly deceive me? You even came to deliver food under Wanwan's name. Didn't she tell you that I don't like fried tofu?"

Huangfu Qingqing was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. She really didn't know that he had any dietary restrictions.

She quickly apologized: "My Lord, please calm down. It was my negligence. I will remove this dish right away. You can eat something else first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the sharp sword fell on her neck.

Zhan Yan said coldly: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Huangfu Qingqing was so frightened that tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. She cried and said, "My Lord, I just wanted to bring you a meal. Please understand!"

Zhan Yan didn't believe her nonsense. He was afraid that the food was fake.

Without any hesitation, he directly cut Huangfu Qingqing's neck, causing her to scream in pain.

He sneered, "Still refusing to tell the truth?"

She choked up and replied, "My Lord, please spare my life. I just wanted to imitate Huangfu Lingyun to please you. If you like her, you can definitely like me, right?"

After hearing her words, Zhan Yan frowned immediately. What a mess!

He said angrily, "Who said I'm attracted to Huangfu Lingyun? Stop spreading rumors!"

Huangfu Qingqing blinked blankly. "Isn't it because Huangfu Lingyun became your concubine that you are willing to support her and her brother?"

Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "No!"

Huangfu Qingqing finally realized she had misunderstood. She said anxiously, "My Lord, please let me go. I can tell you Huangfu Liu's whereabouts. He has a private residence in September City, and I'm the only one who knows the exact location!"

She had already seen clearly at this time that the Marquis Zhan Yi in front of her would not be fascinated by beauty.

The only thing to do is to save your life first!

As expected, the murderous intent on Zhan Yan's face subsided a little, and he threatened in a deep voice: "If you dare to play tricks again, I will tear you into pieces!"

"Yes!" Huangfu Qingqing responded tremblingly.

She took Zhan Yan into a carriage and headed straight for the largest brothel in the city.

Zhan Yan frowned and asked, "Is Huangfu Liu's private residence a brothel?"

Huangfu Qingqing explained: "It's true that he opened the brothel, but his private residence is in the back. The owner of the brothel is his mistress, and she even gave birth to a son for him!"

Zhan Yan didn't expect that Huangfu Liu would hide so deeply!

As the carriage turned into the alley behind the brothel, two carriages appeared in front of it.

A woman came out holding a child, and the child asked softly, "Mom, where are we going?"

The woman replied in a panic: "Let's go to your grandfather's house in Jingcheng. Be good and don't make trouble. Mother will give you candy later!"
