Cloud City occupied an extremely large area. The roads in the city were crisscrossed, and there were many businesses. It was very prosperous.
The Golden Jade Tower was located on the most prosperous street in Cloud City. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the sound of hawking rose and fell.
Yue Li did not have much silver in her hands. After all, the original owner was living under Xiao Mingxue's nose. Other than the monthly allowance on the surface, she really did not have any other income.
The silver he had accumulated over the years was only a little over a hundred taels. It was impossible to buy too many things.
Thinking of this, he felt that since he was getting married, he should use this as an excuse to ask for the dowry of the original owner's mother, Cheng Lan.
All these years, Xiao Mingxue had been holding onto Cheng Lan's dowry. Who knew how much she would have left?
After entering the Golden Jade Tower, the waiter hurriedly greeted," Miss, please come in. How many people are there? Do you want to sit in the lobby or in a private room?"
She couldn't afford a private room, so she smiled and said,"Lobby, find a seat by the window.”
The waiter nodded and bowed. He led the people to a seat by the window and sat down. He took the menu and handed it over.
Nourished by the spirit spring water during this period of time, Yue Li's skin broke away from its original dark yellow color, becoming smooth and delicate. Coupled with her extraordinary temperament, it added a bit of charm to her delicate appearance, making it difficult to ignore.
After ordering the signature dish of the Golden Jade House and a pot of Longjing tea, Yue Li asked Bi Luo to sit down as well.
Bi Luo felt that she had nowhere to put her hands and feet. She sat there very cautiously, causing Yueli to smile.
"We're here to eat, not to be tortured. Relax.”
"This servant cannot relax." Bi Luo was trembling with fear. How could a servant eat at the same table as her master?
After teasing Bi Luo for a while, he saw someone enter the room. It was also a woman with a servant girl. The woman was extremely charming. Her waist was not full, and her lotus steps carried a bit of heroic spirit. Especially that pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, there was always an indescribable feeling.
The servant girl next to her had a solemn expression on her face as she said to the waiter who came up to her,"A pot of Jade Spring Wine and four signature dishes.”
"Alright, please take a seat. I'll be right there.”The waiter led them to sit down and walked away.
Coincidentally, these two people were sitting next to Yueli, back to back. Bi Luo's careful appearance was clearly superior when compared to the other party's maidservant.
Just as Yueli was lampooning, she heard a low voice coming from behind her." Miss, I've already checked. That Prince Zhongxin should be heading to the Falling Jade Pavilion at noon today. We can go there and set up an ambush first.”
The voices of the two people conversing were extremely low, looking at Bi Luo as if she did not notice anything, but Yue Li heard the words behind her clearly. In the noisy hall, her senses were concentrated in one place, and she could clearly distinguish the voices of the two people.
Ever since she let Jin Po drink her blood every day, she had to replenish her strength with spirit spring water every day. Not only did her memory improve a lot, but her hearing and senses had also changed sharply.
She continued to eavesdrop without batting an eyelid. It was great that it had something to do with Gu Qingcang.
From the meaning of his words, it seemed like he was going to assassinate her?
"Is everything arranged properly?"
"Yes, the first group has already left. We will meet up with Uncle Lu and the others here before heading over.”
"Gu Qingcang killed my sister. The Lu family must make him pay with his life.”
Lu Clan?
Yueli did not know where they came from, but since they dared to assassinate Gu Qingcang, it seemed like this family had some ability as well.
She did not want to meddle in other people's business, but since it was related to Gu Qingcang, she could join in the fun. She could also have the capital to negotiate with him to break off the engagement.
The waiter served the food, and the people behind only cared about eating and did not speak.
"After dinner, pack a few salted ducks and leave one for Mother He.”
"What? Then what are you doing, Miss?"
"I'm going to walk around, so you don't have to follow me.”Yueli lowered her head and ate it. As expected, the taste was not bad. Although it was a little expensive, it was worth it.
Bi Luo still wanted to say something, but when Yue Li heard that the person behind her was already preparing to get up and leave, she stuck her head out of the window to take a look. Indeed, she saw that someone had arrived outside.
Looks like it's that Uncle Lu.#
