Chapter 7: The Queen's Invitation

In the Fanjin Pavilion, Shen Qingyun nestled on the couch, holding a cup of tea in his hand with half-squinted eyes, looking very comfortable. Chu Rui and Shu Rui were both waiting for Shen Qingyun's orders at any time.

"Miss, can Madam really come up with three thousand six hundred taels of silver in five days?" Shurui opened his mouth, and Shurui thought more calmly than Chu Rui.

"Of course it can't be, although she has embezzled a lot of money over the years, but it has been filled in to her loser brother, and she doesn't have much savings. She has several shops in the Prime Minister's Mansion in her hands, and she was still profitable some time ago, but she is not good at running them, and now several shops are beyond her means. For five days, let alone asking her to take out 3,600 taels of silver, even if she was asked to take out 1,000 taels, she couldn't take it out. Shen Qingyun smiled and answered Shurui's question.

"Since she can't take it, why does the young lady bother so hard to get the prime minister to agree?" Hatsurui didn't have any doubts, but now his heart is full of question marks.

"She has the middle feed of the Prime Minister's Mansion in her hand, and the shops in the Prime Minister's Mansion are very promising, are there those shops that are still worried about not earning three thousand taels?" Shen Qingyun spoke, she naturally knew that Xu Yanyun couldn't come up with money, so what she wanted from the beginning was not money.

"It turns out that this is Miss's plan, Miss is clever." Chu Rui was happy when she heard it, but she didn't expect her young lady to be so strategic.

"Follow your young lady well, there will be more interesting things in the future." Shen Qingyun smiled and looked at Chu Rui to speak.

"We'll go to the casino again tomorrow." Shen Qingyun narrowed her eyes and spoke.

"Miss, I'll go and return the ledger." Shurui added on the side.

"No, I have one more thing to confirm tomorrow." Shen Qingyun shook her head, today in the gambling house, she felt a kind of demonic aura from Nan Wuyue's body, but it was very faint and disappeared quickly, so Shen Qingyun wanted to confirm where the demonic aura came from.

"Okay, you're tired too, rest early, I don't need anyone to keep vigil." Shen Qingyun got up from the couch and moved to the bed slowly, no longer caring about the two of them.

The two looked at each other for a moment and left.

The three of them set off early the next morning, and Shen Qingyun lazily instructed in the carriage, "Let's go to the Zhenyu Pavilion for breakfast." ”

As soon as Shen Qingyun's words came out, the two of them were so frightened that they all looked at her and went to the Treasure Pavilion! Isn't her young lady crazy, Zhen Yu Pavilion is notoriously expensive, a small plate of dim sum has to be sold for dozens of taels of silver, where do they have so much money to squander now.

"Miss, isn't it appropriate for us to go to the Treasure Pavilion now?" The first stamen opened his mouth to remind.

"If there's anything wrong, go there. Isn't there still silver, and when it is gone, it will naturally be useful. Shen Qingyun opened her mouth nonchalantly.

In the end, the three of them still came to the Zhen Yu Pavilion, although the dishes inside are more expensive, but the environment is absolutely first-class, whether it is decoration or service, people feel very comfortable.

Shen Qingyun didn't have much interest in this, but Chu Rui was different, she had never been to such an upscale place, this was her first time here. What's more, her young lady is really good to her subordinates, as long as they are not in the prime minister's mansion, they all eat together, and this kind of treatment and enjoyment makes Chu Rui happy.

But soon Chu Rui returned to reality from joy, because since Shen Qingyun arrived at the Zhenyu Pavilion, except for taking the initiative to choose a seat by the window, he didn't speak anymore, and kept looking out of the window.

Chu Rui and Shu Rui didn't bother, and like Shen Qingyun, they looked out of the window for a long time, but they didn't see anything.

"Miss, what are you looking at? There's nothing special about it, is there? An hour later, Chu Rui finally couldn't help but ask.

"I haven't seen anything, and I can't tell you yet." Shen Qingyun pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything, which made the two of them itch in their hearts.

"Miss, will you reveal a little bit?" Chu Rui still wants to know.

"Secret, but you'll soon find out. Okay, let's go to the casino. Shen Qingyun shook her head, then got up and planned to pay off the account book.

Shen Qingyun refused to say a word, and the two had no choice but to give up and follow Shen Qingyun out, but something unexpected happened when they went downstairs.

"Miss Shen, do you have time to have a cup of tea together?" When he went downstairs, a man came up to him, Shen Qingyun wanted to turn sideways and miss him, but he didn't want the man to stop first.

Shen Qingyun looked at the person opposite, and knew that he was a noble person as soon as he looked at his clothes, not only handsome but also extraordinary, especially a jade pendant on his waist made people see at a glance that he was not a character to be messed with.

Shen Qingyun admired his appearance in his heart, and I have to say that he is really good. Nan Wuyue is also good-looking, but she looks a little demonic, this one in front of her is heroic and good-looking, why didn't she find that there were so many good-looking men in the mortal world when she was a demon before.

"Do we know this son?" Although Shen Qingyun is greedy for beauty, her mind is still clear, she just wants revenge, she doesn't want to pay attention to irrelevant people and things, not to mention that she is still a person who knows trouble at a glance.

"We don't know each other yet, but we'll know each other soon." The man smiled, he was not surprised by Shen Qingyun's vigilance.

"Then you don't need to know each other, I don't like to make friends." Shen Qingyun looked at the person opposite and spoke coldly, but he didn't lose a point in terms of momentum. After finishing speaking, he stopped paying attention to the person in front of him and left directly.

The man didn't stop it, he just smiled indifferently. Although Shen Qingyun was a little cold, he liked it, and sooner or later Shen Qingyun would need him.

"Lord Wang, why don't we find out our identities?" After Shen Qingyun left, the young man who followed the man spoke.

"No, she's so shrewd, she knows it." The man known as the prince shook his head, went upstairs with a smile on his face and didn't care, remembering the results of the investigation he saw yesterday, he knew that Shen Qingyun would definitely become his partner.

"Do you know that person just now?" On the carriage, Shen Qingyun opened his mouth to ask Shurui.

"Shu Rui doesn't know, but the jade pendant on the man's waist just now should be for the royal family. Miss, do you want to check it out? Shurui spoke.

"No, since he has a special status, he will definitely not come to me easily, but now that he has taken the initiative to find us, he will not give up if he does not achieve his goal." Shen Qingyun shook her head.

"But miss, what is he asking us to do?" Hatsurui couldn't figure it out.

"Shurui, do you know which prince the Prime Minister's Mansion likes the most?" Shen Qingyun already had some eyebrows in his heart.

"The Prime Minister seems to prefer the eldest prince." Shurui just arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and naturally didn't know much.

"I know, don't tell anyone about this when I go back today. It won't be long before our Prime Minister's Mansion will be lively. Shen Qingyun showed a sly smile.

Shurui and Chu Rui glanced at each other, her young lady always thought further, the carriage soon arrived at the gambling house, Shen Qingyun walked in unhurriedly, "Shurui, do we still have any silver?" ”

"Miss, our silver has been used up for breakfast, and now there are only ten taels left." The book opened.

"That's all there is left, let's play two before returning the ledger." Shen Qingyun frowned, his eyes swept over the gambling table in the room, and then pressed the remaining silver on the table, and won back a hundred taels after a while.

Chu Rui and Shu Rui were speechless in surprise, it turns out that this is what his young lady said after the money is spent? It's exciting, isn't it?

"I said, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion won't be so short of money, why come to me all day long to smash the field. I'm running a small business, and I can't help but do it well with you, a great god. Nan Wuyue didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and stopped Shen Qingyun, who wanted to continue betting.

"How come, your great cause is not inferior to my hundreds of taels." Shen Qingyun was pulled aside by Nan Wuyue.

Nan Wuyue smiled bitterly, not knowing how she had provoked such an insatiable person.

"I'm here to pay off the books today, thank you." Shen Qingyun returned the account book in his hand to Zhao.

"It seems that your things are going well, but I don't lend this account book, isn't it too insincere for you to thank you verbally like this." Nan Wuyue watched Shen Qingyun speak, revealing a treacherous smile.

"Okay, so what do you want to do?" Shen Qingyun was very cooperative.

"Why don't you treat me to a meal?" Nan Wuyue suggested with a smile.

"Okay, since you said it, how can I refuse. The time and place are up to you. Shen Qingyun readily agreed, after all, she hadn't thought of the answer she wanted.

"How about being at the Treasure Pavilion at noon in three days?" The Nan Wuyue lion opened his mouth.

"Okay, no problem. You don't have to greet me, I'll play a few more rounds and leave. Shen Qingyun nodded, not caring about Nan Wuyue's expensive place, anyway, the money to invite him to dinner was won from his gambling house.

Nan Wuyue wanted to cry without tears, regretting that she had no mouth just now, which would only make her own money secretly.

"Today, I will take my leave, but you are a blessed land, and I will often visit and take care of your business in the future." Shen Qingyun looked at Nan Wuyue's appearance and felt funny, she was just teasing him.

"Okay, okay Miss Shen go slowly, go slowly." Nan Wuyue put on a smiling face and made a gesture of please.

After leaving the gambling house, Shen Qingyun and his party went directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion was very quiet, Shen Qingyun knew that this was just the calm before the storm, but she also cherished such a peaceful time, and there were some things she had to think about.

In the next few days, Shen Qingyun did not go out, and lived a leisurely life in the mansion all day long, but Shurui and Chu Rui were not idle, and Shen Qingyun instructed them to find out the spies sent by various courtyards.

"Miss, Miss has found it." Chu Rui ran into the house excitedly, and after three days of hard work, they finally found the spy who had been stuffed in.

"Who is it?" Shen Qingyun was half-lying and closed her eyes to recuperate, but she opened her eyes when she heard Chu Rui's words.
