Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Advice

After listening to Nanny Qiu’s words, Zhong Niangyao nodded and then took out a small vial and handed it over, "This is the Nine Revival Pills, as a reward for you."

Nanny Qiu was immediately surprised, "Madam, are you just giving me the Nine Revival Pills like that?"

Although her ultimate goal was indeed the Nine Revival Pills, she had not expected that the other party would give them to her so easily. She had just finished speaking when the other party, without a second thought, handed them over to her. For a moment, she found it somewhat incredible.

"This was the reward we agreed on before, wasn’t it?" Zhong Niangyao seemed quite natural, "Now that I have obtained the information I wanted, naturally it’s time to settle the reward."

"Hahaha, madam, you are indeed the most straightforward customer I have ever met."

Hearing Zhong Niangyao say this, Nanny Qiu didn’t put on any airs either; she naturally reached out, took the vial, and then said with a beaming smile, "Since madam has put it that way, it would look bad if I continued to hesitate. I hereby thank you for the reward."

"You’re welcome." Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, "You all responded quickly, and I am very satisfied."

"It’s good if Madam is satisfied," Nanny Qiu continued with a smile, "If there’s anything else you need help with, just ask. As long as it’s something Changsheng Hall can do, we absolutely won’t refuse."

Of course, that presupposed there would be a reward.

However, seeing how generous this lady was, she knew that the reward was definitely substantial. Therefore, if there really was a chance to cooperate again, she would be eager for it.

"Hehe, the matters to come are beyond the reach of Changsheng Hall." Zhong Niangyao laughed and shook her head meaningfully, "Doesn’t Changsheng Hall have a rule against getting involved in affairs of the Royal Family?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qiu’s face stiffened momentarily, but she then laughed it off, "As long as it doesn’t involve the Royal Family, we at Changsheng Hall are still open for business."

Seeing how generously the other party had acted, she was somewhat tempted to change her mind. Of course, that was just a thought. Even as the Hall Master, she couldn’t simply change the rules of Changsheng Hall. This was also for the safety of the many brothers and sisters of Changsheng Hall.

Having finished discussing matters, Nanny Qiu was also thinking about getting up and taking her leave. Mainly because sitting here, facing Zhong Niangyao was one thing, but facing the chill emanating from Lu Yichen, she always felt a sense of fear.

Thus, she quickly got up to take her leave.

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then looked towards Nanny Qiu with a smile that had a profound meaning, "Nanny Qiu, given that we know each other and have done business once, let me give you a piece of advice!"

"Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds receive evil retribution. Creating too much killing will eventually lead to no good end."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qiu’s face immediately changed; her initially cheerful smile had completely vanished, replaced by dissatisfaction and gloom. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But thinking of the mysterious Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, she ultimately swallowed back the words she had been about to say.

She forced a smile, "Thank you for the warning, madam; I will keep it in mind."

Although she said this, she was dismissive at heart. She had been doing this for so many years without any issue; it all seemed to be just scaremongering.

Besides, the business she was involved in was inherently about killing and plundering. If she were to cut ties now, she wouldn’t know how many people might want her dead!

Thinking this, Nanny Qiu quickened her steps to leave. Now, she did not want to hear any more words from Zhong Niangyao; she just wanted to hurry away.

After Nanny Qiu had left, Lu Yichen finally spoke indifferently, "Rarely are you so kind, and she doesn’t seem to take it to heart!"

"That’s her choice," Zhong Niangyao replied nonchalantly, "At least we know each other, so I thought to give an extra word of caution. Whether she listens or not is her own choice. I won’t interfere with others’ choices."

She could offer a warning, but she would not help others make decisions or persuade someone on what decision to make. She did not want to be entangled in others’ karma, lest she invite trouble.

Lu Yichen chuckled and shook his head, "This Changsheng Hall is likely to encounter trouble soon."

"It was also because she helped me locate someone today that I even bothered to say an extra word," Zhong Niangyao said with a laugh, "But I can see that she clearly doesn’t take my advice to heart. So, it seems many things are fated."

Lu Yichen nodded and didn’t pursue the topic further, "What do you plan to do next? Now that it’s confirmed that Zhong Mingxin is at Princess Mingyue’s Mansion, how do you plan to extract him?"

Zhong Niangyao’s eyes flickered, and then she spoke with a beaming smile, "Why, naturally we’ll just go and bring him back openly!"

Lu Yichen was curious, "Have you thought of a way?"

"No," Zhong Niangyao honestly shook her head before continuing, "But I think just being straightforward and forceful will do. We’ll just go straight there and take him away!"

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s plan, Lu Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head, "Alright, are we setting off now, or shall we head back to the inn to rest and find time to visit the Commandery Princess Mansion later?"

"Since we’re already out, it’s natural to go to the Commandery Princess Mansion first." Zhong Niangyao stood up and said with a smile, "I think Zhong Mingxin would be more than willing to see me."

As for Princess Mingyue’s opinion, that was utterly irrelevant.

Moreover, she felt that the reason Zhong Mingxin had not left was probably due to Princess Mingyue’s handiwork.

Lu Yichen always had no objections to Zhong Niangyao’s words.

Without any hesitation, Zhong Niangyao got up and left the tea house, heading straight for Princess Mingyue’s Mansion.

Lu Yichen followed closely behind.

Soon, they reached their destination, facing the Commandery Princess Mansion with its imperial plaque. Their hearts were undisturbed.

Zhong Niangyao felt she was still very polite, so she didn’t barge in but chose to knock on the door.

Before long, a slender man came out to open the gate. Upon seeing Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.
