Chapter 137: Big Secret
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Then it’s nailed.” said Murong Xue smilingly. No one in Qingyan city knew how to make yogurt. So once her yogurt shop was open, people would all scramble to buy.
“It should be in a prosperous street…” Ouyang Shaochen suggested while looking at Murong Xue.
“I know…” Murong Xue nodded. In a busy street, there would be more potential guests. And they could earn more money.
Standing on the rooftop of the opposite side of Flowing Snow Pavilion, Ye Yichen stared at Murong Xue and Ouyang Shaochen talk and laugh while sitting on that carving queen-size bed through the open window, with her face looking terribly gloomy.
He was worried that the Earth Yang Grass might not suppress her Ice Poison. So he brought the Fire Lotus seeds for her. But now she was sitting there all good, and even flirting with Ouyang Shaochen.
It seemed the Earth Yang Grass could protect her life for now. So his worries were totally unneeded.
Ye Yichen suddenly clenched his hand, ‘crack’, the white porcelain bottle got crumbed into powder. The porcelain powder and the Fire Lotus seeds were mixed together, gone with the breeze.
He then flew away without turning back.
Watching him fade away in the distance, Ouyang Shaochen snickered…
“What are you looking at?” With a soft voice coming in his ears, Ouyang Shaochen turned around and saw Murong Xue was also looking out the window…
“Nothing!” Ouyang Shaochen tried to block her view, “If you want to open a shop, youe need to make full preparations. It’s late. Let’s go find some sources of goods and see if there’s an appropriate site…”
“OK!” Murong Xue nodded slightly. The yogurt she was gonna make was made of milk. If she wanted to open a shop, she’d need a great amount of milk. So she really needed to find a stable source…
Night fell. Song Qingyan lied in bed after eating dinner. She gritted her teeth whiling looking at the direction of Falling Snow Pavilion, thinking, “Prince Ouyang has been in there for long. Murong Xue must have used some witch craft to get him enchanted! That shameless bitch! When I’m recovered, I’m gonna teach that bitch a lesson…”
A breeze blew on. Suddenly the half closed window got pushed open. Two guards jumped in carrying a bamboo chair on which was sitting a woman wearing a loose apricot dress, with a clean chignon and pale face. It was Qin Yuyan, princess of Mo Bei!
Song Qingyan was surprised, “What are you doing here, my princess?”
“Of course I am here to see you.” said Qin Yunyan smilingly. After getting seated on Song Qingyan’s bed, she slapped her in the face. Pia! Five bloody red fingerprints were shown in Song Qingyan’s fair skinned face, and even with a wisp of blood at the corner of her mouth.
She slowly turned to Qin Yuyan, with astonishment, “What is this for , my princess?”
“Are you asking me? Do you forget what you have done in Prince Jing Mansion?” Qin Yuyan raised her eyebrows and glared at Song Qingyan: On hearing that Song Qingyan used rosemary acid on Yichen, she wished she could have torn Song Qingyan limb from limb!
She got badly injured at the time. So it was not convenient for her to teach Song Qingyan a lesson. And now since she got busted, Old Prince Jing hated her, Yichen wouldn’t see her, even those servants looked down on her, which made her quite frustrated. So she asked the servants to carry her out for some air, and also retaliate Song Qingyan by the way!
“I…I didn’t mean to…” Song Qingyan stuttered, with her face turning ghastly pale. She also felt wronged: She only wanted to be a concubine. She never meant to snatch Qin Yuyan’s position as the first wife. Why would she be so angry?
“Even if you don’t mean to, the fact is the fact!” Qin Yuyan looked at her ruthlessly and said with an ice cold voice, thinking, “She really overreached herself! Who gave her the courage to try to seduce Yichen?”
A guard was walking slowly towards Song Qingyan. He was wearing the dark blue guard’s clothing, wearing a bloody cold face. Every step of his was binging with a beat, like the Death was approaching.
Song Qingyan was astonished, seized with terror. She shouted while trying to squeeze into a corner, “Somebody help…Somebody help…help…”
“I have emptied your place before I came. So however hard you cried, no one is gonna save you!” Qin Yuyan flashed her eyes at her with all contempt: Anyone who tried to steal her man should take the punishment!
The moment the guard was trying to catch her, Song Qingyan yelled in a pucker, “I know a big secret of Murong Xue. If you can spare me, I will tell you now!”
“Really?” Qin Yuyan cast a glace at her randomly, looking quite suspicious. Murong Xue was so smart. How could she let Song Qingyan snoop a secret from her?
“Really. I mean it! Trust me!” Song Qingyan nodded, and sputtered, “My grandmother has served in the Marquis Mansion for many years. She has eyes all though the mansion. So every move of Murong Xue is under her eyes. As for the secret, I also scooped it by accident…”
This big secret was only known to herself. She meant to save it for own use. But now since Qin Yuyan was going to end her, she could only offer it to her in exchange for her own life.
Qin Yuyan nodded and then said slowly, “If this secret is useful, maybe I will consider to let you live!”
“Trust me, my princess. This secret is very useful for you. If Murong Xue knows that her secret is leaked out, she would foam with rage!” said Song Qingyan fiercely, with kind of cold light flashing in her eyes. She and Murong Xue were like fire and water. She would be willing to do anything as long as it could do harm to her.
She then moved by Qin Yuyan’s side and murmured, “The secret is…”
With a string of notes flew into her ears, Qin Yunyan suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes, with kind of excitement. This was indeed great news which she should make full use of. Maybe this could drive Murong Xue crazy. By the should, Old Prince Jing should also know she was way much more outstanding that Murong Xue!
With the warm light shining on the ground, the antique streets were bustling with people. Murong Xue was also one of them. Looking around those closely linked shops, he murmured, “This street is so busy. It’s not bad if I open a shop here…”
They had checked seven or eight shops in a few days, which were all at good locations. But for now she only planned to open one yogurt shop. So she needed to make detailed comparison and then decide the location…
Looking at her exhausting delicate face, Ouyang Shaochen said gently, “There is a tea house in front. Let’s go drink some tea and have a rest.”
“OK!” Murong Xue approved. She was indeed a little tired after a whole morning’s walk…
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Come on…” Suddenly those passers-by were running past them to the same direction…
Murong Xue was a little confused, so she stopped a man, “Excuse me. I see you are all running in a hurry. Could you please tell me what’s going on?”
The man said with bated breath, “Someone opens a yogurt store there. Quite tasty and the price is reasonable. They’ll be sold out if we’re late…”
