Chapter 146 Congratulations
No wonder He Yuyan has been so confident these past few days; it turns out the problem that had been bothering her a few days ago has been solved.
"In that case, I wish Miss Xie a speedy recovery."
"Thank you for your kind words, Aunt Wu. I also hope that Sister He can cure the sores on my face soon..."
A smile bloomed on Xie Ningxin's lips.
Wu Weiwei nodded to her, then walked out of the Marquis's residence.
Xie Ningxin watched Wu Weiwei's carriage leave, then turned and walked towards Qiushui Pavilion in the Marquis's residence.
"Miss, aren't we going to Qiu Xinyuan?"
Xie Ningxin paused and gave Lixiang a wink.
"No, let's go to Lady Hou's Qiushui Pavilion first."
Wu Weiwei reminded her of something.
Although He Yuyan had informed the old lady in advance about her coming to the Marquis's residence to stay and seek medical treatment.
But now the Lady of the Marquis is in power, and the heir apparent's mother is the Lady of the Marquis.
Xie Ningxin's eyes flickered.
Since she was coming to live in the Marquis's residence, she naturally had to ask the Marquis's wife for permission first.
He Yuyan waited for Xie Ningxin in the courtyard, while Dingxiang went out to inquire.
But I heard that Miss Xie went to Qiushui Pavilion.
She frowned.
What does Xie Ningxin mean by this?
She had already asked the old lady for permission, so why did she still want to see the Lady of the Marquis?
At this moment, He Yuyan was only puzzled and did not think about anything else.
Wu Weiwei arrived at Ruyanlou.
She's here today to take over the territory.
I was busy with the Prince Fu Hui Building project for the past two days.
Now that things are over, it's naturally Minwang's turn to run his brothel.
She had just arrived when she saw that Chen Furong had already arrived.
"Sister Weiwei, over here!"
"Junior sister, you're really fast!"
Wu Weiwei looked at her with a smile.
Since they were taking over the territory, Chen Furong was naturally indispensable.
The crown prince went to Wu and Yue on official business.
Worried about being harassed by Prince Min, Wu Weiwei summoned Chen Furong.
As she approached, Chen Furong said happily, "Sister Weiwei, I heard about the hunting incident at Qingshan that day."
If I hadn't had something come up and couldn't go, I would definitely have taught that bastard Li Chengde a good lesson for you..."
Later, after hearing about Wu Weiwei from her aunt, she felt both worried and admiring towards her.
Thinking of how her senior brother Lu had been shot by one of his two concubines, Chen Furong suddenly moved closer to her.
"Sister Weiwei, did you deliberately shoot a sneak arrow at your senior brother that day?"
Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone..."
Chen Furong revealed a sly smile.
Thinking about her senior brother's humiliation made her feel very happy.
It's a pity I didn't get to see it in person.
If she told her second senior brother about this, he'd probably buy firecrackers and set them off for three days and three nights.
Seeing Chen Furong's expression, Wu Weiwei immediately laughed and said, "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm really bad at archery and horsemanship, it wasn't intentional..."
Because of the female lead's situation, Chen Furong, who was already disliked by Lu Hanting, has been neglected recently.
She harbored considerable resentment towards Lu Hanting.
Therefore, she not only felt no sympathy for her senior brother's recent miserable state, but also wanted to watch the show.
"Junior sister, I asked you to come here today because I have something to tell you..."
"what's up?"
Seeing Wu Weiwei's serious expression, Chen Furong's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing Chen Furong's nervous expression, Wu Weiwei took her hand.
“Furong, I plan to transform Ruyanlou into a beauty salon like Weiyuan, and I will give you half of the shares.”
"what?"
Chen Furong was surprised.
"What, you think it's not enough?"
Wu Weiwei deliberately teased her.
"No, no, no..."
After realizing what was happening, Chen Furong quickly refused.
"I don't want it! I can't have it!"
Chen Furong shook her head vigorously, like a rattle.
No reward for no merit.
This Ruyanlou was built by Wu Weiwei at great personal risk; how could she possibly accept it?
Looking at Chen Furong's frightened expression.
Wu Weiwei chuckled and said, "Junior sister, why can't we have it?"
If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been tormented to death by Prince Min long ago.
Not to mention they were able to take over Weiyuan.
All that followed was thanks to Chen Furong and her father, General Anxi, that the situation was resolved smoothly.
Chen Furong helped her so much, but it was only half of the property rights of Ruyanlou. What did it matter?
One firmly refused, while the other was determined to give.
In the end, Wu Weiwei couldn't persuade Chen Furong otherwise.
At Wu Weiwei's insistence, Chen Furong will receive a share of the profits every year from now on.
The matter was then dropped.
The two entered the lobby and found the environment to be completely chaotic and smoky.
All the good, usable furniture was taken away, leaving nothing for Wu Weiwei.
The walls are mottled, and the once beautiful decorations have been ruined, leaving only a shell.
As Wu Weiwei entered, she suddenly saw a charming and graceful woman slowly walking down from the second floor.
"Oh, isn't this Aunt Wu, the mistress of our Wei Garden? Is she here to take over our Ruyinlou?"
The woman in front of me was heavily made up and dressed in a flamboyant manner.
She looks exactly like a courtesan from a brothel.
Or perhaps she is the most favored courtesan here.
Qin Baihe never dreamed that Wu Weiwei would follow her wherever she went.
Originally, it was thought that Ruyinlou would be her stage, but unexpectedly, she had only been on stage for less than a month.
She hadn't made much money, and now Wu Weiwei was already reaching out to this place again.
She recalled receiving a notification a couple of days ago that Min Wang's Ruyanlou would be transferred to another owner.
She thought it was just a change of owners, and she would still be the mainstay.
But the madam told her that the owner was an acquaintance of hers.
After some inquiries, it was discovered that Prince Min had lost a bet with the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
Now, Ruyanlou has been transferred to the hands of Lu Shizi's concubine, Wu Weiwei.
Upon hearing this news, Qin Baihe nearly fainted.
If it weren't for Chen Qing's reassurance, she probably wouldn't be here today.
Chen Qing told her to calm down.
As long as she can gain Wu Weiwei's approval to stay and work.
When King Min sees her value, he will definitely come back to her.
As long as she can endure it, she's not afraid that Wu Weiwei won't fall into her hands.
That's why she stayed here today to wait for Wu Weiwei's arrival.
Upon seeing Qin Baihe, Wu Weiwei and Chen Furong both frowned.
It's really a narrow road.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Yihong Courtyard, Qin Baihe came to this Ruyan Tower and became its top courtesan.
Indeed, because she wasn't outstanding enough at the Grand View Garden, she was always overshadowed by Peony.
Now that Peony has reformed, there is finally no one to hold her back.
Why not continue to shine at Ruyanlou?
Thinking of the last time she came to Weiyuan to recruit people, Wu Weiwei's lips curled into a smile.
"Lily, I never expected you to become the most beautiful courtesan here. I forgot to congratulate you!"
Wu Weiwei made a pointed remark.
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, a smug look flashed across Qin Baihe's face.
Chen Furong, standing nearby, watched her smug and arrogant demeanor, but she didn't want to give in to her wishes.
"Right, Sister Weiwei?"
But you've forgotten that we're here today to take over Ruyanlou.
Are you sure this woman named Lily will like hearing your congratulations?
