Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Upon hearing the voice, Madam Li slowly closed the account book, a faint smile appearing on her face. She said softly, "Yu'er is here. You must be exhausted after just returning."

Fang Yu walked to the table, picked up the account book that Li Shi had pressed down, glanced at it casually, and then asked, "Mother, what are your plans for these stockpiled goods?"

The Li family had long considered this issue.

She confidently replied, "When our shop opens and new products are launched, we can sell these old items at a low price or give them away as gifts to customers. This way, we can clear out our inventory and also attract some new customers."

After speaking, Li looked up at Fang Yu with some trepidation and hesitation, as if hoping to get some affirmation and support from her daughter.

Fang Yu smiled slightly, first pouring Li a steaming cup of tea, then gently comforting her, "Mother, you just need to do what you want to do, without worrying too much about gains and losses. Even if the final result is not satisfactory, we will have gained experience."

Li frowned deeply, her heart shrouded in a dark cloud, unable to dispel the unease and doubt that lingered within her.

Despite Fang Yu's repeated reassurances, she still felt a little uneasy deep down.

Fang Yu gently held Li's hands and looked at her with tender eyes, saying, "Mother, why don't you think about it from a different perspective? This embroidery shop was already facing closure, and even if those stockpiled goods were used to pay off debts, it would still end up being a loss."

"Your idea is perfectly fine. It leaves customers with a good impression of our store and also allows us to clear out these goods smoothly. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Hearing Fang Yu's reasonable words, Li's anxious heart finally calmed down a little, and she slowly nodded to indicate that she agreed with his statement.

Coming back to her senses, Madam Li glanced casually at the deep night outside the window and sighed softly, "It's getting late, Yu'er, you should get some rest. These days, the restaurant has been so busy, and you two sisters have been running around doing everything. I haven't been able to help at all."

"Mother, don't say that." Fang Yu said, "Xin'er and I haven't been able to help with the embroidery workshop either. It's getting late, Mother, you should rest early too."

Fang Yu got up and went out. Before leaving, she winked playfully at Li Shi, then gently closed the door and turned to walk towards her room.

......

The first rays of morning sunlight gently bathed the earth, and the entire city of Yunjing seemed to be covered by a golden veil, appearing exceptionally beautiful and serene.

As the heavy palace gates slowly opened, Xiao Jingqi's tall and slender figure walked out with steady steps.

"I haven't seen the sun in a long time."

Xiao Jingqi tilted his head slightly, gazing at the warm sun in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Wu hurried over, bowed to him, and immediately reported: "Master, the Liu Zi you instructed me to keep an eye on seems to be being watched by someone else now."

"According to my observation, the other party seems to have some personal grudge against him and does not intend to take his life. Liu Zi is currently at Lingxiang Tower. I wonder if Master intends to arrest this person for questioning immediately?"

"I will personally go and meet this man."

Xiao Jingqi turned and left with his men.

They had barely left when Xiao Lanzhi arrived at the palace gate, panting heavily.

I was stunned when I saw the empty scene in front of me.

After a while, Xiao Lanzhi came to his senses, turned around and slapped Mo Shisan hard on the shoulder, saying angrily, "If it weren't for you wasting time eating, how could Zizhao have left like this!"

Mo Shisan staggered from the blow, quickly scratching his head and licking his still-dampened lips. He then hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please calm down. I know where the Prince went. Let's hurry and catch up with him; we can still make it in time."

Hearing this, Xiao Lanzhi felt slightly relieved, but still couldn't help glaring at Mo Shisan before urging, "Then stop dawdling and let's go!"

The two hurriedly ran towards Lingxiang Tower.

Xiao Lanzhi originally intended to tell the Qin Prince's guards about Fang Yu.

But then she thought again, with Fang Yu's intelligence and quick wit, she might soon notice some clues and make things worse.

So he decided to hold back for now and see how things go.

Just as Fang Yu was about to step out of the room, Xin Jiyan rushed in from outside.

He looked nervous, and as soon as he got close to Fang Yu, he hurriedly leaned down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Miss Fang, regarding Liu Zi, after observing him secretly for the past two days, it seems that another group of people are also watching Liu Zi. It looks like they also want to arrest him."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu frowned slightly, then decisively turned around and quickly returned to her room.

In no time, when she came out of the room again, she had completely changed her appearance after disguising herself.

This time she did not choose to dress as a man, but only changed her clothes. Even so, the change was so great that it was difficult to tell the difference.

In particular, a huge black mole has appeared on her originally beautiful face.

The mole looked like an ugly toad lying there, making people feel a chill and a bit disgusted.

Seeing Fang Yu's peculiar attire, Xin Jiyan couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times, and asked with a face full of suspicion, "Miss Fang, are you sure you want to go to the biggest den of iniquity in Yunjing looking like this?"

Fang Yu, however, curled her lip dismissively and snorted, "What 'debauchery'? It's just a brothel! Enough talk, let's get going!"

With that, she took the lead and walked towards the door.

Xin Jiyan shook his head helplessly and could only follow closely behind her, heading together toward the legendary Lingxiang Pavilion.

When the two arrived at Lingxiang Tower, they were amazed by the magnificent and beautiful building before them, even the well-traveled Xin Jiyan couldn't help but marvel at it.

The Lingxiang Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation; its extravagance was beyond imagination and could not be adequately described in just a few words.

A constant stream of all sorts of people came and went, including both elegant men and graceful women.

Judging from their attire alone, all of them were dressed in fine clothes and wore dazzling jewelry, clearly indicating that they came from wealthy families.

Fang Yu and his companion had just reached the door and hadn't even taken a step inside when they were stopped by the waiter standing at the door.
