Chapter 146 Going down the mountain
The Queen glared at Mu Lingshuang without leaving any trace, then looked at Fang Yuanqi and said with a smile:
"I have already prepared it for you and Fu Ying."
After saying that, he looked at Li Ma who was standing beside him. Li Ma understood and took out six silver notes of one thousand taels from her bosom.
The Queen took it and was about to put it into the hands of Fang Yuanqi and Su Fuying.
Fang Yuanqi quickly refused:
"Mother, I have enough here. I don't need it for the time being."
Su Fuying on the side nodded frantically.
Back then, she was afraid of damaging the royal family's reputation, so she even opened the restaurant in secret. Who would have thought that her mother would be so open-minded.
Not only did they not think they were doing anything wrong, they even gave them financial support.
Of course, she also knew that she was benefiting from her fourth brother-in-law, and even the sixth princess.
But she was not jealous at all. Instead, she was secretly delighted with her own unique vision.
Now she was very glad that her husband pulled her on the carriage to the suburbs. Otherwise, even if she wanted to cooperate with her fourth brother-in-law, she was afraid that there would not be a suitable opportunity.
Now she has become the second largest shareholder of Hongyunlou, and every newly opened Hongyunlou is packed with guests, which is much better than running those mediocre restaurants.
Just as they were thinking about it, the Queen Mother looked at the two of them lovingly and said, "This is a token of my mother's love. You two should not refuse it anymore."
Seeing the queen say this, the two had no choice but to accept it.
After watching the man accept the money, the queen gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Mu Lingshuang looked at his wife and asked:
"Are we going down the mountain now?"
Seeing his wife nod, Mu Lingshuang smiled dotingly and ordered people to prepare the carriage.
Two carriages were prepared, and Mu Lingshuang and Fang Yuanqi rode in one.
Mu Lingyan and Su Fuying were in the same carriage, but Mu Lingyan stopped the carriage halfway.
Su Fuying didn't know what she was going to do, so when he saw her jump out of the carriage, he got out as well.
"What is the princess going to do?" Su Fuying asked in confusion.
Mu Lingyan didn't say anything, but reached out and held her imperial sister-in-law's hand, and walked towards her imperial sister's carriage with a clear goal.
Ever since she witnessed her brother-in-law's ability to turn water into ice, her mind is full of questions and she has many questions she wants to ask.
Qin Feng, who was driving, saw the Sixth Princess and the Fifth Prince's wife coming together. He hesitated for a moment and finally stopped.
"Imperial sister, aren't you bored with just the two of you in a carriage? My sister-in-law and I are here to keep you company." Mu Lingyan said as she lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Then I saw the imperial sister pinching a peeled grape and putting it to my brother-in-law's mouth. The most important thing is that my brother-in-law was half lying in the imperial sister's arms...
Facing the sharp gaze of the emperor's sister:
Mu Lingyan: "..."
Suddenly I felt that my presence was a bit redundant.
Are you worried that they'll be bored? Her sister doesn't look bored at all!
Su Fuying, who was tactful, quickly pulled Mu Lingyan back to their carriage.
However, the scene just now seemed to have taken root in Su Fuying's heart. Although she had long known that her brother-in-law was a woman, and knew that her brother-in-law had always been very... docile in front of the imperial sister, the scene just now was really unexpected.
The imperial sister in women's clothing is handsome and elegant, the imperial brother-in-law in men's clothing is charming and attractive, and the way they get along is so... warm!
Especially her brother-in-law’s blushing face, which made her feel as if the door to a new world had been opened.
It's a pity that she's already married, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Su Fuying quickly shook her head. No, she already had a husband and couldn't think about anything.
Mu Lingyan didn't think too much about it. She was thinking that she would let her husband feed her grapes like this someday...
As expected, my brother-in-law knows how to enjoy life. He doesn’t even have to eat grapes himself.
Fang Yuanqi, who had just reacted, didn't care about being sad anymore. His face flushed with shame and he was about to get off Mu Lingshuang's legs.
"Be good, they have left. Do you still want to eat grapes? Sister will continue to peel them for you." Mu Lingshuang pulled the person back and coaxed him softly.
Fang Yuanqi watched Mu Lingshuang's slender jade fingers dab some grape juice, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Grapes are delicious, but...
Seeing that his wife was about to refuse, Mu Lingshuang directly instructed Qin Feng who was driving outside:
"If the Sixth Princess comes to cause trouble again, just beat her out!"
"Sister!" Fang Yuanqi said coquettishly.
Mu Lingshuang brushed up some of her hair that had been scattered due to her frequent bowing of her head, and said in a charming voice:
"Be good, ignore them, and continue eating grapes..."
"Okay." Fang Yuanqi said weakly, and then continued to nestle in his wife's arms with peace of mind.
Anyway, I have already lost face. If I don’t have enough grapes, it would be a big loss.
But then Mu Lingshuang was no longer satisfied with just feeding grapes with her hands.
From mouth to mouth, to...
Then, along the way, with Mu Lingshuang's deliberate efforts, most of Fang Yuanqi's negative emotions were forced to dissipate.
However, when he got off the carriage, Fang Yuanqi felt a little uncomfortable when he met the teasing gazes of Su Fuying and Mu Lingyan.
Then Mu Lingshuang, who noticed that his wife was uncomfortable, just glanced at her lightly, and Fang Yuanqi felt that all the gazes on him disappeared.
Fang Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the two people's joking expressions, and cleared his throat and said:
"We have enough money now, so we will try to focus on some big restaurants."
Seeing the two nodding, Fang Yuanqi continued:
"We can buy an existing restaurant, or we can build our own. What are your ideas?"
After hearing Fang Yuanqi's words, the others also fell into deep thought.
The price of a ready-made restaurant will definitely be higher, but once it is set up, it can be opened directly.
If you build it yourself, it will definitely be more cost-effective, but it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
For a moment, everyone was a little embarrassed. Finally, Su Fuying, who had experience in running a restaurant, spoke up:
"Why don't we go around and look around? Whether we buy or build, we need a suitable location with enough traffic."
This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone, and Mu Lingshuang spoke first:
"Then let's split up and meet up here tonight. Then tomorrow we'll go to the restaurants we're interested in and decide which one to buy."
Mu Lingyan, who had been silent the whole time, looked at her imperial sister with disdain. She was too lazy to expose her imperial sister and acted separately. Needless to say, she and the fifth imperial sister-in-law would be in one group, and she and her husband would be in another.
As Mu Lingyan expected, after Mu Lingshuang finished speaking, he pulled his wife and turned around and left. As for where the remaining two people went, she didn't bother to care.
Anyway, the guards they brought with them were enough, so even if they encountered some minor troubles, they could handle them themselves.
My wife has been in a bad mood these days, so I should just focus on comforting her.
