Phoenix Duchess - C2

In the last few days in the capital city, who didn’t know about the people. The second young miss of the Dong clan, Dong Lingwan, and the young marquis, Pu Jing, had a falling out in everyone’s eyes. More precisely, it was the old Madam Hou, the Grand Matriarch, who had fallen out with her. This action of Dong Ling Wan made many noble ladies sigh inwardly, feeling great.

The calligraphy piece was calligraphy, but the calligraphy piece was small. He was 25 years old, and was the only direct descendant of the Marquis’ Mansion. If he were to ask how this man was, he only needed four words to explain it. Only then would he be able to rule the world. Appearance, family background, and talent, which one of them wasn’t considered top-notch? It was because of this that the women in the capital were so eager to see him. However, what was most pleasing was not the quarrel between the two of them, but the fact that the great talented woman, the sickly beauty who was known for her gentleness and intelligence, actually dared to challenge the Grand Elder! This caused everyone’s eyes to go wide.

The Matriarch was famous for being picky in the capital. Pu Jing had had two wives before, and after less than a year of marrying into the palace, the madame had chosen the wrong words and sent them away. This made all those noble ladies who wished to marry into the house of the Marquis cower in fear before such an old mistress. No one could tell how Dong Ling Wan and Pu Jing had met, but on many occasions, the two of them had grown close to each other, and the matriarch seemed to be very pleased with Dong Ling Wan. Just when everyone thought that the young duke Cheng Ci was finally able to find a good wife and was preparing to receive their wedding invitation one day to drink with her, this matter appeared.

Although they didn’t know the specifics of the matter, everyone knew that there was no hope for the two of them.

At the east side of the capital city, there was a grand mansion with the two big words written in gold: Eastern Mansion.

The rich of the east, the poor of the north, and the poor of the south. He was talking about the distribution of the mansions of the different people in the city, and the fact that a merchant family of the Eastern Residence lived in the east side of the city, showing how powerful they were.

In the Eastern Prefecture, there was an extremely large courtyard known as the Embroidery Courtyard. There was a four-story pavilion in the middle of the Jin Jia Village. This was the first time such a tall pavilion had ever existed, especially since it was a woman’s embroidery pavilion. The pavilion was made of bamboo, and a signboard hung in the middle. There were three large words written in thick ink: Ancestral Treasure Pavilion.

From the elegance of the bamboo tower, it could be seen that the master enjoyed peace and quiet.

The fourth floor had an open window, and a young girl could be vaguely seen sitting by the window. She had a loose bun in her hands, and her eyebrows drooped slightly as she quietly embroidered the unfinished picture of a golden phoenix. On the corner of a rosewood table, there was a book of historical records.

A pretty maid came from afar with a letter in her hand. After going upstairs, she clearly quickened her pace.

“Sis?” Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by a person. The person who came was dressed in the same outfit as the maid, and there was a slight resemblance between their facial features, but compared to the former, this woman was older, and looked more dignified and dignified. It was because of this that she was worthy of the position of the head maid.

“What’s going on?” Glorifying Snow lightly knitted her brows, which seemed somewhat odd. The young miss enjoyed the peace and quiet. She had been troubled for the past few days, so wasn’t the commotion now sincerely trying to make her angry! If the ancestor inside was truly angered, he would destroy the mansion!

Only then did Tingyu remember that the person inside was not in a good mood. She scratched her head in embarrassment and sighed, “The lady said that she was afraid of receiving a letter today, so she asked me to wait at the gatehouse early in the morning. I also said who it was, it was that person!”

It was needless to say who the “man” was. From the looks of Yu, it was obvious who he was. He was afraid that this girl’s words would cause Dong Ling Wan to feel bad, so he instructed her to make tea while he carried the letter into the house. Before she could say anything, he heard the needlework lady ask softly: “How much of the Yue Clan’s storefront did you receive?”

“According to the Miss’s instructions, we have already taken more than 30%. There are still many shops left in the Yue Clan, do you want to buy all of them?”

“No need, stop!”

Dong Ling Wan raised her head, glanced at her, then smiled. “With so many powerful nobles in the capital, I am already the sole owner of nearly forty percent of them. If I don’t give others a taste of my sweetness, they will join hands to taste my sweetness.”

“Whether it’s doing business or not, you have to learn how to read people’s minds and know how to conduct yourself. It was said that merchants had great profits, but there were some things that one could never covet. When dealing with people, one had to have a bit of courage and be harmless to others. Otherwise, it would be impossible to negotiate this business. Do you understand? ”

“This servant understands.” Glue Xue nodded. However, she was absent-minded. She looked at the woman not far away and said hesitantly, “But …”

“Why?”

“Miss.” “Thank you, Young Marquis, for your letter.”

The woman’s hand that was holding the embroidery needle stopped. Her gentle face was filled with worry, as well as an expression that showed that she couldn’t understand what was going on. The woman didn’t raise her head. After a while, she replied, “Put it in the incense burner.”

Appreciating the snow was stunned for a moment. Was it left in the incense burner? Wouldn’t that be burning!

“What are you waiting for?”

“Miss, aren’t you going to take a look?”

So what if he saw it? It was nothing more than “having feelings but not fate, being together and being apart”. Instead of looking at it, he felt clean in his heart. Eastern Ling Wan put down the needle in her hand, stood up, and started flipping through the new account book on the table.

Seeing that she did not say a word, Xue Guan walked over to the incense burner and threw the letter in. At this time, Qing Yu just happened to enter the room and saw that the thing she had been waiting for for for most of the day had burned up like this. She was in a rush to shout out. However, only those close to her would know that she was indeed a gentle and quiet beauty, just like the rumors said. However, if she was in a bad mood, then she would change her face even more than that Sun Monkey, and would also be moody and like an ancestor. She was enjoying herself, but she had troubled her underlings. However, what made her even more worried was that Dong Ling Wan kept everything within her heart. The things beside her were still fine, but the matter of love … He was really afraid that she would become sick from holding her breath!

“The Flower God’s Day is coming. Have you settled the matters I instructed you to do?”

“It’s settled. Our young mistress is the empress of the palace. Naturally, we have to send you the silver first.” Glowing Snow smiled and stepped forward. At this moment, when Rain signaled her to think of a way, Glue Xue’s eyes flashed, “Miss, take a rest!”

Dong Ling Wan didn’t raise her head, and only replied indifferently before instructing the two of them to wait outside. Seeing her expression, the two of them frowned, but Dong Ling Wan then raised her head, “What are you waiting for, with a frown on your face? If I go, he’ll be waiting for me even better. I am Dong Ling Wan, like they said. You want me to be a part of the ‘Seven Desire’ family for twenty-eight years, what kind of man do you want to marry?

Hearing that she was trying to be brave, their complexions did not turn any better. Dong Ling Wan’er sighed, “It was clearly because I lost my lover. Why do you two seem to feel worse than me? Do you want me to coax you?”

“Look at how young miss’s words are not something a girl should say. You’re not ashamed of yourself either!” The snow secretly pulled on Rain’s sleeve, indicating that she should not be discouraged.

“That’s right, our young miss is worthy enough to be matched with that prince. How can she be taken advantage of by them? Our young miss is not someone he can afford to take advantage of!” His Majesty had summoned the three kings back to the capital and heard that he was already on his way to the capital. In the next few days, he had already left for the capital. In addition, since Crown Prince Rong and the young miss were so close, it was clear that he wanted to be on good terms with her. Didn’t he also want to inherit the throne of King Rong in the future?

Even though the owner was a merchant family, his ancestors had followed the ancestor to rule the world, and had obtained a special permission. Otherwise, the plaque at the front gate wouldn’t carry the words’ Mansion ‘, which could only be hung by first rank princes and ministers.

“Only your mouth is sweet!” Dong Ling Wan smiled, then reprimanded.

“It just so happens that the Flower God’s Day is in two days. Miss shouldn’t go out for a walk, it’s not good to be always bored.” Seeing that her mood seemed to have improved, Glowing Snow suggested taking advantage of the heat to strike the iron. Perhaps she felt that it was a bit unexpected, so Glue Xue smiled and said, “Who knows, maybe Miss will meet her real son!”

“When did snow learn to make fun of me?” Eastern Ling Wan turned her head to look at the white smoke coming out from the censer, and the faint aroma of pine smoke mixed with ink wafted out from the pavilion, overshadowing the lotus fragrance originally in the small room.

“That’s good too.”

Eastern Ling Wan felt a headache when she smelled the scent, so she lifted her foot and left the room.

The wind blew through the screen and quickly flipped the pages of the book. The incense burner continued to emit white smoke, incinerating the world …
