The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 193 Restaurant Changes Ownership

Jian Yue's heart was moved: Thank you? Could it be related to Xie Chujiao?

Fu Yun snorted coldly.

Seeing this fat guy speak so confidently, he must be in collusion with that Lord Xie. If she really goes to the authorities to report it, I'm afraid the officials will not handle it fairly.

"What? You bitch, are you scared? Hurry up and apologize to my little darling. One hundred taels is too little. I want two hundred taels as compensation. Keep an eye on her and don't let her run away."

Two servants rushed over, stood on either side of Fu Yun, staring at her with fierce eyes.

Jian Yue winked at Fu Yun.

Fu Yun understood and sneered at the fat man. He suddenly grabbed the two servants and hit them hard, who looked like conjoined twins. Then, he ran into the crowd.

Bang bang!

"Ouch!"

"what……"

The two were knocked to the ground, screaming. Fortunately, there was a crowd behind them, so they didn't fall directly to the ground. Otherwise, they might have been injured.

There was a commotion among the crowd, and Jian Yue took the opportunity to hide in the crowd.

The two servants hurriedly got up, enduring the pain all over their bodies, and hurried to help their master. They were both thin and frail, and it took them a lot of effort to help the fat man up.

The first thing the fat man did when he stood firm was to slap each of the two servants in the face: "Useless! Idiot! Go get someone to arrest that bitch."

The two servants covered their faces and did not dare to delay, and quickly ran to get help.

The coquettish woman was helped up by a midwife and a maid. Her face was distorted in pain and she kept sobbing.

This made the man so heartbroken that he hugged the girl in his arms, calling her "little darling" and "good boy" all the while cursing at Fu Yun.

Jian Yue walked to a tree on the side of the road and followed closely.

"Go check this person and the Lord of Qiongzhou Prefecture." Jian Yue ordered.

Fu Wu nodded and went immediately.

Fu Liu asked in a low voice: "Girl, are you still shopping?"

Jian Yue's mood was ruined and she no longer had the desire to go shopping: "Let's go back!"

Before the two of them walked out of the street, they saw five or six yamen runners walking quickly towards them. Pedestrians on the road gave way one after another, and Jian Yue immediately stood by the roadside, waiting for the yamen runners to pass before continuing on her way.

When I returned to the inn, Fu Yun had already returned. Seeing Jian Yue, he looked guilty and said, "Miss, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Master Fuyun, don't feel guilty. Sometimes trouble comes and we can't avoid it even if we want to. Besides, it's not your fault for what happened tonight. They were just looking for trouble on purpose. But you have to change your appearance tomorrow."

The next morning, when Jian Yue opened the door, she found Fu Yun and Fu Wu standing at the door.

"Come in and talk!"

Fuyun walked behind and closed the door.

Fu Wu whispered the news he had heard last night: "Qiongzhou Prefecture Lord Xie Mingjian is the second uncle of the girl's stepmother. He has been in office in Qiongzhou for five years. The previous Prefecture Lord was the girl's stepmother's father Xie Mingzhi."

"The man last night was called Jin Chengfu. He was a general manager of the shop under the wife of the Xie Mansion. He had great management skills and was a native of Qiongzhou. He was highly regarded by the wife of the Mansion. However, he was lustful, slick and ruthless. He was a bully in Qiongzhou."

After breakfast, Fu Yun disguised himself as a nanny with a dark and yellow face and followed Jian Yue out.

Fu Wu and Fu Liu were driving the carriage. The carriage crossed two streets and stopped in front of a "Yunshangxian Restaurant".

Yunshangxian Restaurant is one of the ten shops in Qiongzhou included in the dowry.

The guy sweeping the door saw a carriage parked at the door and came over to remind him: "Sorry, we don't sell breakfast."

Jian Yue and Fu Yun got off the carriage and walked straight to the door.

The guy was stunned for a moment: What's going on? Can't you understand what I'm saying?

"Hey - honored guest, please stay..." He dropped the broom and followed. Jian Yue and the other person had already entered the door.

Jian Yue turned around and looked at the waiter who followed in: "Call your shopkeeper out and tell him that someone is coming from Yanling Mansion."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, looking confused: "I wonder what the distinguished guest wants?"

Fu Yun said: "If something happens, it is not something you, a clerk, can decide. Let your shopkeeper come out."

Seeing Fu Yun's powerful aura, the waiter subconsciously shrank his neck and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and call the shopkeeper." After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

After a while, a short and fat man walked out slowly.

Jian Yue and Fu Yun couldn't help but narrow their eyes.

Why does this shopkeeper look somewhat similar to that fat guy from last night?

When Shopkeeper Jin saw that the visitor was a pretty girl dressed in plain clothes, his impatience was reduced a little. He smiled mellowly and said, "Excuse me, young lady, what can I do for you?"

Fu Yun continued: "Miss, come and inspect the restaurant to see how you are running it."

Shopkeeper Jin was completely confused: "Inspecting the restaurant? Are you kidding? How can you guys inspect the Xie family's restaurant? Are you guys still asleep so early in the morning?"

Jian Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she exchanged a glance with Fu Yun: "You said this Yunshangxian Restaurant is the Xie family's restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Jin raised his chin and said proudly, "Of course, this restaurant is owned by our master's wife."

Jian Yue's expression was slightly cold: "Are you sure?"

Shopkeeper Jin was displeased: "Of course I am sure. I have been the shopkeeper here for four years. Who are you? Why do you want to inquire about the restaurant?"

Jian Yue suppressed her anger and said calmly: "I thought this restaurant was good, and was planning to ask if it was for sale. Since it's the property of the mansion lord's wife, it definitely won't be sold. Sorry for disturbing you." After saying that, she turned and walked out.

Shopkeeper Jin looked at the two people's backs and felt a little puzzled. He yawned loudly, but the sleepiness had not yet gone away.

Last night, something happened to his elder brother, which made him very sleepy. He went to bed at dawn, and he was still not awake! He decided to go back and take a nap.

As for these two women, although he had his doubts in his heart, he knew that they didn't look wealthy or powerful and wouldn't cause any trouble, so he didn't need to bother with them.

Jian Yue returned to the carriage angrily, wrote down the list of shops, and asked Fu Wu to take the list to find out who the owners of these shops were.

After Fu Wu left, Jian Yue asked Fu Liu to drive the carriage to the home of the Yan clan leader.

The head of the Yan clan lived in the west city. Fu Wu had found out when he first came.

Most of the people living in West City are wealthy merchants, but the Yan clan leader's family can only be considered a moderately wealthy family.

An old courtyard with three courtyards, where three generations live, looks very crowded.

On the way here, Jian Yue bought two boxes of cakes, took out two jars of the third-grade Yanlingchun that she brought with her, and bought two rolls of silk fabric popular in Qiongzhou. Fu Liu knocked on the door of the Yan family.

An old doorman opened a side door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Fu Yun stepped forward to negotiate: "Old man, my daughter is the niece of the Yan family, and she has come to visit the head of the Yan family." As he said this, he stuffed two taels of silver into the doorman's pocket.

The concierge took the money and glanced at Jian Yue, his expression...
