She wanted to have silver, to find profitable channels like gambling houses, brothels, and taverns, so she needed to investigate thoroughly. It wouldn’t be good to leave someone with just one arm; it would be best if both arms were gone.
The old fellow didn’t seem too flustered after losing General Bu, which showed that he had gained quite a bit over the years, enough to support himself for a while. As long as those supports were destroyed, he would start to panic.
The influence of the Merchant Alliance was rapidly growing in the capital, quickly infiltrating all major powers. They were just waiting for Qing Luan’s command to carry out a complete overhaul.
No one dared to speak loudly about what was happening in the court, especially concerning the princess's death. Everyone kept their mouths shut, not even mentioning it to their families. They only said that the troubles caused by Yiluo and others had been resolved and that there would be no ceding of cities; they would fight to the end.
As a result, some amusing incidents occurred. For example, Madam Zhuang, upon learning that her daughter had been bullied, chose a provocative time to visit Jade Pavilion. However, she did not expect to be blocked at the door, being told that Jade Pavilion did not welcome her, leaving her feeling embarrassed and furious.
“Mother, should we just go back?” Zhuang Youlan saw more and more people gathering and blushed awkwardly, urging her increasingly enraged mother to avoid further embarrassment.
“Why should we go back?” Madam Zhuang clearly did not realize her situation and shouted arrogantly, “What’s going on here? Why won’t you let us in? This Jade Pavilion is open for business; could there be something shameful going on?” After saying this, her face was filled with disdain and sarcasm.
“Stop talking nonsense,” Little Luo said angrily. “Our young lady has said that no matter how much silver the Dealer offers, they can’t buy even a little bit of anything from Jade Pavilion. We are just following orders; Madam should not make things difficult for us.” Hmph! Those shameless people trying to make a scene here didn’t even consider whose territory it was.
“Hmph! We are here openly with silver to buy things. Zhu Qingluan is just a mere Merchant's Daughter; why shouldn’t she sell?” It was infuriating; she had never seen such absurdity—bringing silver but being turned away. Did she want to ruin her reputation in the capital?
“Because my young lady doesn’t want to,” Little Luo’s response was even more infuriating. “The shop is hers; the goods are hers. If she doesn’t want to sell to someone, then she doesn’t have to. What’s wrong with that?” Just because someone has silver doesn’t mean they can act arrogantly. Hmph! Who could compare with her young lady?
“What’s going on here?” Just as Madam Zhuang was about to explode, a curious voice broke the strange atmosphere. A slightly plump figure squeezed in. When Little Luo focused her gaze and recognized Huang, she curled her lip in disdain and let out a cold snort.
“Oh, it’s Madam Chen,” Madam Zhuang secretly winked at her and smiled. “Look at this Merchant's Daughter; she’s truly a Merchant's Daughter! I come bearing silver, yet she acts so proud as not to let me in—what a joke!” Today would not pass without properly deflating her arrogance; otherwise, all those years would have been for nothing.
"Hmph, those seductresses from the Dealer have all been tamed by her. I don't believe I can't handle a mere Girl."
"Well, there's nothing to be done. No one taught her manners since she was young. Just like her mother, the Merchant's Daughter, what kind of stage could she possibly step onto? Don't take it too seriously; it's bad for your health!" Huang was filled with resentment over losing her daughter. She thought that if she hadn't saved Chen Qingyuan back then, Yan'er wouldn't have had to marry in her place and would still be alive instead of perishing at such a young age. She wished she could gnaw on her bones and drink her blood.
"This lady, it seems you have no right to comment on my young lady's affairs!" Little Luo said coldly, looking down at her with disdain. "If you weren't so ruthless, how could my young lady be in this situation today? We should actually thank you for that. It's a pity your daughter was so useless that you drove her to death without bringing you any glory," she scoffed, matching Huang's sharpness with her own.
"You... you little wretch," Huang was enraged, waving her fists and shouting, "I'll beat you to death so you know what glory really is!"
Seeing Huang charging at her, Little Luo let out a disdainful snort and effortlessly sidestepped, shaking her head and clicking her tongue. "Madam Chen's skills are quite impressive; I assume she often practices with the maids at home?"
Huang missed her target and stumbled, nearly falling flat on her face. Once she regained her balance, the meticulously styled hair on her head was already in disarray. Coupled with her anger, she exuded a chaotic aura that made her look deranged. Ignoring the image she cared about most, she waved her hands and screamed, "Someone! Capture this little wretch for me! Whoever catches her will receive ten taels of silver..."
At that moment, Qing Luan stood in a room at Tianxiang Restaurant, observing everything clearly from across the way. Although she couldn't enter Tianxiang Restaurant openly, it wasn't difficult with Boss and the person in charge providing cover.
Watching Huang's ugly expression made Qing Luan want to laugh out loud—women who rely on their beauty ultimately lose everything. She thought of the best way to deal with Huang, a method that would make her wish she were dead.
As soon as they heard about the silver reward, everyone's eyes lit up with greed. Even the Dealer's guards showed signs of eagerness.
Faced with those predatory gazes, Little Luo curled her lip dismissively. "Even though I'm worth more than you all combined, I'll be generous and give you a reward!" Her words left everyone confused; they didn't understand what she meant until she pulled out a banknote from her pocket. Their eyes all brightened at once. "One hundred taels of silver... for just one punch at Madam Chen."
"Pfft," Qing Luan, who was sipping tea at that moment, sprayed it out upon hearing Little Luo's arrogant proclamation. She couldn't help but chuckle while glancing at that audacious figure as black lines appeared on her forehead.
"Hehe, this little Girl is quite interesting," Fu Tianlin remarked beside her, not reacting as dramatically but showing surprise in his eyes as he smiled.
Interesting, you are interesting, your whole family is interesting, Qing Luan seethed inwardly, cursing as she thought about Little Luo's domineering actions. She had no objections to her behavior; she just hoped that the chaos that would ensue could be controlled.
Little girl, even if you want to be domineering for once, please choose another place. Although it's our territory and we make the rules, attracting a bunch of lunatics will only bring trouble to us.
No matter how conflicted Qing Luan felt, those people heard the words "one punch for a hundred taels of silver," and in an instant, their gaze shifted from Little Luo to Huang, their eyes gleaming with a green light, bright and menacing.
"What... what do you want?" Huang stammered in fear, trembling as she stepped back, completely losing the anger and arrogance she had just displayed.
"Madam Chen, one punch for a hundred taels; just bear with the pain," someone said with a fawning smile as they slowly moved closer.
