Yang Ruxin already knew that Gu Qingheng had a good impression of the people from the Princess Residence. Since that’s the case, she might as well get acquainted. Jiang Fangfei is fourteen this year, two years younger than this body’s current age, so they’re indeed of similar age.
More importantly, the Princess Residence doesn’t ddle in political affairs, so befriending them cos without pressure.
Of course, if the people from the Jiang Family aren’t friendly, she wouldn’t waste her affection on indifferent people.
She imdiately asked Gu Di to send a reply to the invitation, then took Du Juan, Du Yunpeng, and Mark to leave the General Residence again.
This ti, Yang Ruxin left the house disguised as a man, without using a carriage.
Just as they arrived at the door of the Gluttonous Store, she saw a subtly luxurious carriage parked by the roadside, and the person standing beside the carriage...
Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes inelegantly.
"Lady Xinxin." Yun Xiu bowed to Yang Ruxin without stepping closer. "My master is waiting for you in the shop."
"Please address as Mrs. Gu or Madam Gu." Yang Ruxin glanced at the carriage, confirming it was empty since Yun Xiu ca over to et her. She figured she couldn’t refuse, but had no wish to sit in the sa carriage as an unrelated man.
Yun Xiu remained silent.
Yang Ruxin was also silent. If he wouldn’t change the address, they could waste ti like this.
She was a married woman; it was an undeniable fact. Even strangers could tell from her hairstyle. Yet this person still called her "Miss," clearly on purpose; this was disrespectful to her husband, which she wouldn’t allow.
Yun Xiu frowned, just about to step forward, but Du Yunpeng and Mark imdiately blocked Yang Ruxin, looking at him provocatively.
Yun Xiu knew that if it ca to a fight, his odds weren’t great, and it wouldn’t look good. After a mont of confrontation, he finally lowered his head: "Sister Xin."
Yang Ruxin laughed scornfully. Qi Jingyun was indeed persistent, but no matter, as long as he didn’t call her "Miss," she could accept "Sister Xin." She then turned her head to Mark: "Go and inform the General." Though she knew Gu Qingheng wouldn’t misunderstand her, she didn’t want him feeling uncomfortable.
Mark gave a slight nod and then turned to leave.
Only then did Yang Ruxin walk toward the carriage, casting a sideways glance at Yun Xiu: "Let’s go." She then jumped straight onto the carriage without even using the footrest.
Yun Xiu sighed internally; he understood his master’s thoughts, but alas, the King of Xiang is affectionate yet the Lady of Jade is indifferent, and besides, she already has a husband. If the Emperor or the Empress found out that the master had feelings for a married woman, it would surely cause a fury.
It might even bring a deadly disaster to the other party.
However, he was rely a guard and couldn’t advise against it.
Qi Jingyun’s shop was in the south of the city, close to Chang’an Street, though not directly on the main street, still it was considered a decent location.
"This used to be a Silk Brocade Workshop, but business wasn’t good." Yun Xiu provided a brief introduction.
Yang Ruxin stepped down from the carriage and first took a look around. The road in front was quite wide; two carriages could pass by each other. Then she looked at the shop; even without going inside, she knew the space was ample. This was a six-door shop facing the street.
Entering through one of the open doors, the space indeed was large, about two hundred square ters. Plus, there was an upper floor; no matter what kind of business was run, it would be more than sufficient. More excitingly, going through the back door of the hall revealed a large courtyard with two sections.
"Are you satisfied?" Qi Jingyun appeared behind Yang Ruxin at so point.
