The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 34 Liu Taifu's Shop

After finishing his meal, Gu Fengyuan ordered someone to brew a pot of tea that Gu Lingxi had just brought.

Father, are you going to give away those two swords, Star-Picking and Cold Moon, in your armory?

*Pfft!* Gu Fengyuan spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of before it even reached his lips! "You brat, are you looking for a beating? Don't bother coming back! That's my precious treasure, don't even think about it!"

Gu Yunyang pouted. He knew his father would react this way! He wondered if his father would find out that it was his sister who wanted that face.

With his mouth agape, Gu Fengyuan couldn't wait any longer and took another sip of tea! The moment it entered his mouth, he sensed that this tea was unusual; was it really as Xi'er had said, capable of enhancing one's cultivation? After downing the tea, Gu Fengyuan clearly felt his Xuan Qi in his dantian surge like boiling oil in water, his Xuan Qi, which hadn't progressed in a year, now galloping like a swift horse! He simply picked up the teapot and gulped down the entire pot of tea in one go! Then he closed his eyes and began to cultivate!

Feng Rou'er laughed and scolded, "You old rascal! Your children are all here, who would want to fight with you for a drink!"

Gu Yunyang smiled; his father's reaction was exactly what he expected! Xi'er had given him this tea before! Its effects were no less than those of the Purple Profound Pill! If this got out, it would definitely be something that cultivators would fight tooth and nail for! He really didn't know where Xi'er got it from!

Before long, Gu Fengyuan excitedly opened his eyes! "Hmm, not bad, not bad! I've broken through a minor stage, reaching the second stage of the Spirit Profound Realm!" "Xi'er? What is this tea?"

Oh! This was a gift from a friend, so I'm using it to show my filial piety to my dad!

Hmm! You've won my heart! I didn't ask any more questions; daughters have their little secrets too! I stroked my beard and continued sipping my tea!

Father, those two swords are for my sister!

With another slurp of tea leaves, Gu Fengyuan glared at his son, his heart aching! "You unfilial son! What's wrong with me having some tea? Are you looking for a beating today? What did you say?" Realizing what his son had said, Gu Fengyuan was completely bewildered! "Xi'er, you want those two divine weapons?"

"Mmm!" Gu Lingxi nodded quickly.

Okay, Dad will have someone send it over to you in a bit! Without even asking any questions, he immediately gave away his precious treasure!

Gu Yunyang…Dad, am I really your biological son? The difference is too big?

Be careful when you play with it, don't hurt yourself! Is there anything else you need? Daddy will bring it to you!

Gu Lingxi was touched. What a good father! Dad, could you give me some money?

Ahem! Seeing his daughter so bluntly asking for money, Gu Fengyuan simply pulled out a five-hundred-tael silver note from his pocket! "Take this and have some fun. If you need more, come back to your father!"

Gu Yunyang... Dad, I want one too!

Gu Fengyuan snapped, "Get the hell out of here! You have so many shops, and you're still eyeing my retirement money! You're really asking for trouble if you don't discipline yourselves!" A chaotic scene erupted inside the house, with the father and son chasing each other around, busy with their own antics.

Feng Rou'er and her daughter were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt! Oh, this pair of lovable clowns!

Gu Yunyang felt heartbroken. The difference in treatment was too great! His sister had everything she wanted, while he not only didn't get what he wanted, but also got beaten up? Was she even his biological daughter?! He was so sad!

After leaving the main courtyard, the brother and sister went for a walk in the garden to digest their food!

"How was it? Happy that your wish came true?" Gu Yunyang said indulgently.

Mmm! I'm so happy! Thank you so much for your help, big brother! Next time I have something good, I'll definitely send it to you first!

Hmm, that's more like it. At least you have a conscience! Otherwise, I would have suffered this meal for nothing!

Gu Lingxi covered her mouth and chuckled to herself! It's so wonderful; her whole family spoils her like this. She's so happy!

Hey bro, can I ask you something?

Okay, you tell me!

Do you know who owns the cloth shop and teahouse next to Xiangyuelou on West Street?

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and realized where she was asking! After pondering for a moment, he said, "It seems that the owner of the cloth shop is Liu Yulin, the eldest son of Liu Taifu! I'm not too sure about the teahouse! Xi'er, if you want to know, I'll help you inquire tomorrow! What, Xi'er, do you want to start a business?"

Yes! Gu Lingxi nodded without hiding anything.

Our family also has two shops on West Street, but they are in a rather remote location. If Xi'er wants one, her older brother will give it to you as a dowry. At that time, Mother will also give you shops, estates, and villas!

"Brother, you're so kind!" Gu Lingxi's eyes welled up with tears.

Fool, why are you being so polite with us family! You're my sister, who else would your older brother love more than you?

Gu Lingxi wondered if her older brother knew they weren't blood-related siblings. Regardless of whether they were blood-related or not, Gu Lingxi had already decided on this older brother and this family!

The Liu family? Could it be the family of the little girl she saved yesterday? She hadn't taken it to heart, nor did she intend to ask for any favors! She simply accepted the jade pendant as a token of gratitude, to be used as food for Ali!

Oh no! Could Ahri have already eaten the jade pendant?! Really! He hurriedly returned to his room and flashed into his spatial dimension! Ahri, Ahri, where is that white jade pendant with the character "Liu" carved on it?

Ahri scratched her head, trying to recall! "I ate it, Master!"

Oh, you foodie, why are you so eager! You're really delaying important matters! Without the jade pendant, if he rashly goes to ask for an audience, he might not even be allowed to enter the gate. These high-ranking families are very particular about etiquette and tokens!

Master, Ahri has memorized the shape, and can spit out a piece that looks just like it for you!

"Yes! How could she forget? Wait a minute!" Ling Xi hurriedly went out and searched around, then took out a similar orange piece and gave it to Ali! In no time, an identical jade pendant was finished!

But! Gu Lingxi's lips twitched. It looked the same, but the orange color was a thousand times better! The refined jade had no impurities, and the feel was so much better than the previous piece? This?

Okay, that's fine. Hopefully I can get in!

After dressing in men's clothing and making some minor adjustments, Gu Lingxi, accompanied by Leng Feng and Leng Yu, climbed over the backyard wall! She didn't bring Hua Ying with her; that girl wouldn't be a burden if she went out without martial arts skills, so it was safer to leave her at home!

"Miss, this is it!" Following Leng Feng through a maze of turns, they arrived at a house! Seeing that the plaque above the door had been changed to the two large characters "Ling Mansion," Gu Lingxi nodded in satisfaction! Not bad, this Leng Feng is quite efficient! He handled things perfectly even without her instructions, saving her a lot of trouble!

Knock on the door, and a head popped out from inside. It was Leng Feng.

He hurriedly opened the door and let them in!

This must be your master. From now on, you must guard the gate well for him! Your master is kind-hearted and will not mistreat you and your husband! The old man couldn't speak, but his ears were sharp. He quickly nodded to show that he understood!

The old woman was cleaning when she saw someone coming. She hurriedly put down what she was doing and came over, gesturing excitedly as she asked the old man what was going on! Seeing the old man's gestures, she realized that the person in front of her was her master, and she was about to bow and pay her respects when Gu Lingxi stopped her!

This is a mute old woman, my lord. She can't hear either and only knows sign language. If you don't like her, just buy another maid!

Gu Lingxi shook her head. No need. She wasn't living here; she was just moving some goods around. This deaf-mute couple suited her perfectly!
