Chapter 182: Walk the Talk

"Qingshao, I talked to my eldest brother, and when my father releases him, we'll leave!" Xiao Hanyin looked at her and said, "What do you think?" ”

Now, her business in the imperial city is getting more and more prosperous, and Xiao Hanyin doesn't know if she will be willing to leave.

"If you don't want to stay here, I'll go with you!" She came to the imperial city to do business, completely for Xiao Hanyin.

Since he was bent on leaving, Liu Qingshao would not stay.

"Thank you!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.

"We are an unmarried couple, and we should have advanced and retreated together, not to mention that I had planned to go back to spend the New Year with my stepfather!" Liu Qingshao didn't have any memories of the prosperous imperial city, "When your father is fine, let's go back to the town directly!" ”

There are still some days before the Chinese New Year, and it is still too late for them to rush back.

"Good!" No matter where Liu Qingshao wants to go, he will not object.

He knew that Liu Qingshao had a deep relationship with Duan Zhiming, after all, when her life was the hardest, only Duan Zhiming had been helping her unabated.

During that time, in order to help her pay off her debts, Duan Zhiming even secretly went to the dock to work as a coolie, just to make her live better.

Duan Zhiming is a pure-hearted person.

Over the years, he has always regarded Liu Qingshao as his daughter......

After the two decided, they continued to live their own little life.

Xiao Yifeng will be released because of the emperor's promise to the Xiao family, so neither Xiao Hanchen nor Xiao Hanyin was worried about it.

Although he is ambitious, he has great achievements in war and is a rare talent in the imperial court.

After this incident, even if the emperor will not reuse him, he will not easily put him in prison again.

Xiao Yifeng also knew the emperor's thoughts, so he didn't take risks and stayed in the prison all the time.

After a few days, Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin were ready to pack up their things and leave.

Xiao Yifeng was about to come out of the prison, and Xiao Hanchen had already sent a message to them.

Although the imperial city is good, it is not their home, and Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin do not have any sense of belonging here.

Xiao Han lived here in hiding, and remembered a lot of previous memories in his heart.

He didn't have the slightest affection for the Imperial City and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

As a result, just as they were about to leave, Liu Qingshao's men suddenly told them bad news.

It turned out that since Liu Qingshao came to the imperial city, she had never appeared in restaurants and other shops as the owner.

She usually disguises herself as a guest to check the accounts and deal with things in the shop.

Therefore, Liu Qingshao has been here for more than half a month, but no one knows that she is the owner of the restaurant.

The business of the restaurant is too good, harming the interests of some other wealthy businessmen, who have always wanted to find out Liu Qingshao's identity, but unfortunately they have used a lot of methods, but there has never been any clue.

Now, in order to force Liu Qingshao to appear, they have been privately rumoring that she is in the imperial city at the moment.

When Liu Qingshao learned about this, her pretty face sank.

These people guessed that she was in the imperial city, and they would definitely spare no effort to investigate her identity, if they really found out, she probably wouldn't be able to leave easily.

"It's okay, haven't there been people in other places who have been trying to find out your identity?" Xiao Hanyin knew that she didn't want to reveal her identity, so she said comfortingly.

"The situation in the Imperial City is different, there are too many rich and powerful people here, if I continue to stay here, sooner or later they will find out!"

When Xiao Hanyin had just returned to the imperial city, those people knew about his fake death, and it was only a matter of time before they wanted to check her identity.

"Don't panic, we'll take a long-term view of this matter!" Xiao Hanyin's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"I'll have someone find out the news tomorrow!" Liu Qingshao wanted to quietly go back to the town with Xiao Hanyin and accompany Duan Zhiming for the New Year.

He has no feelings for everyone in the Xiao family except Xiao Hanchen, and it makes no sense to continue to stay here......

Xiao Hanyin felt that her method was good, so the two decided to put the trip back for the time being.

At present, there are people secretly looking for their traces, and once they appear in front of people, many things cannot be hidden.

The next day, Liu Qingshao's subordinates disguised themselves and went out to investigate, and found that most of the wealthy merchants in the imperial city were looking for the owner of Chef Liu's restaurant.

In order to find Liu Qingshao, they even deliberately used the power in their hands.

However, they didn't find anything, so they put their minds on Liu Qingshao.

After all, she has always declared to the public that she is the steward of the shop.

Someone once came to the door to test her, but she was resolved by Liu Qingshao's wit.

She's been in this situation quite a bit, and she's handled it very well.

However, judging from the current situation, she may not be able to leave for the time being.

Those people were staring at her all the time, and once the clues were revealed, her identity could not be hidden.

Liu Qingshao was very helpless about this, she and Xiao Hanyin went to live a dull life, but they failed to do so.

Two days later, some powerful and wealthy merchants in the imperial city came to visit Liu Qingshao.

They all want to get out of Liu Qingshao's mouth, and at the same time find out the weakness of the restaurant.

The business of Liu Qingshao's shop was so good that it harmed the interests of those rich businessmen, and they put aside their grievances and united as one, bound to find the owner of the restaurant.

There are too many rich people in the imperial city, and since Liu Qingshao's restaurant opened, their business has faded a lot.

Some restaurants that are not doing well are now closed.

Today, Chef Liu's restaurant has become a thorn in the side of many wealthy businessmen.

In fact, they didn't think about cooperating with Liu Qingshao.

It's a pity that they haven't been able to find anyone, so they thought that Liu Qingshao deliberately didn't see anyone and wanted to steal all their business. classic

In this way, Liu Qingshao naturally became the target of public criticism.

However, she didn't care at all what these people thought.

There is inherent competition in doing business, and it is common for the superior to prevail over the inferior......

Liu Qingshao didn't want to deal with those rich businessmen with bad intentions, so she simply handed everything over to the shopkeeper to do.

She stayed at home and chatted with Xiao Hanyin.

After wearing it in ancient times, she taught Xiao Hanyin to play backgammon, and she learned Go.

When the two of them have nothing to do, they often play chess to pass the time.

Liu Qingshao felt extremely relieved......

Those rich merchants can be handed over to the treasurer to deal with, but some princes and nobles in the imperial city are not easy to offend.

Most of the wealthy businessmen in the imperial city have some power behind them, and Liu Qingshao has no foundation, but she doesn't plan to stay here for a long time, so she doesn't care at all.

However, those princes and nobles have to deal with it carefully.

Liu Qingshao didn't want to offend them, so she went out to deal with them in person.

The purpose of these people is the same, that is, they want to cooperate with her and then get a piece of the pie.

Especially those who have huge power and strong backgrounds, they want to take advantage of them without a trace.

Liu Qingshao talked to them with a smile on her face, but she always wanted to scold in her heart.

Their thick-skinned faces are almost as thick as the walls over there......

"Miss Liu, our master is very optimistic about the prospects of Chef Liu's restaurant, so he plans to buy shares, if you agree, no one will dare to go to the restaurant to cause trouble in the future!" The housekeeper of the Wenshan Marquis Mansion personally came to the door as a lobbyist.

"I'm sorry, the little girl can't do anything about this!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Qingshao's mouth.

"Please call your host, and I'll talk to him personally!" The butler said with a gloomy face.

"Our host has gone to the south to inspect the business, and we won't be able to come back for a while!" Liu Qingshao couldn't blatantly offend him, and she didn't want to agree, so she could only find an excuse to delay.

He is the steward of the Marquis of Wenshan, although he has no rights, but the identity of the master behind him is enough to make her jealous.

Now, it is inconvenient for Xiao Hanyin to show up, so these things can only be handled by her personally.

Liu Qingshao had already thought about it, anyway, they would leave in a few days.

At that time, unless the emperor comes, no one will want to persecute her.

"Can Miss Liu send a message to him, I believe he will definitely agree when he learns about this!" There was a hint of arrogance in the butler's words.

The Wenshan Marquis Mansion is not something that anyone can climb.

Now, if he is willing to condescend to the noble, he will personally come to negotiate with the little steward of a restaurant, which has already given them enough face.

The situation in the imperial city is complicated, if there is no one to support her, no matter how good the business of her shop is, this restaurant will not be open for long.

"The stakes are high, the little girl can only try her best to contact the owner!" Liu Qingshao gave him an ambiguous answer.

She knew very well in her heart that if she refused, the other party would definitely try her best to force her to agree.

However, Liu Qingshao didn't want to do this, so all she could do now was find a way to delay.

After they leave, even if the other party wants to make trouble, there is nothing they can do.

After Liu Qingshao sent them away, he went back exhausted.

Although they won't be coming over for the next few days, the matter will have to be resolved sooner or later.

After Xiao Hanyin heard about this, he felt extremely guilty.

If it weren't for him, Liu Qingshao wouldn't have been so tired at all.

All the forces in the imperial city gathered, no matter who they offended, it was enough for Liu Qingshao to be busy.

After Xiao Hanyin experienced the darkness of the palace, he was already full of disgust for this place.

"I'm sorry!" Xiao Hanyin's face was full of guilt.

"It has nothing to do with you, the business of the shop is good, and there will always be people who will be red!" In fact, when Liu Qingshao came to the imperial city to open a shop, he had already expected this.

Xiao Hanyin took her into his arms with a forbearant face, and everything was silent.

They all understood each other's intentions, and Xiao Hanyin didn't say anything more.

After a few days, things became more and more troublesome, and those people repeatedly urged Liu Qingshao, forcing her to be cornered.

After thinking about it a few times, Liu Qingshao decided not to hide her identity anymore.

Now, between her and Xiao Hanyin, there must be someone who discloses his identity, otherwise things will just get out of hand.

She thought that after a few days, she would be able to leave the imperial city.

As a result, the whereabouts of her and Xiao Hanyin have long been targeted.

For the sake of Xiao Hanyin's safety, Liu Qingshao made this decision.

After all, she is a businessman, and even if her identity is revealed, others will not want to take advantage of it to make a big fuss.

Xiao Hanyin is different, his identity is already sensitive, and he still left the imperial city in that way.

If his identity is revealed, the situation of the Xiao family, which has just stabilized, is afraid that it will make waves again because of this.

After Xiao Hanyin knew her plan, he said that he would not agree with anything.

However, Liu Qingshao is a person who does what she says, and no one can change what she decides.

The next day, Liu Qingshao arranged for someone to reveal her identity.
