Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Opening a Shop in the Capital (2)_1

Upon arriving at the inn, the astute housekeeper, who was as cunning as a monkey, met each of the young masters from Fourth Miss’s family in turn and hurriedly paid his respects to them.

When he saw Cai Wei, he ostensibly glanced at her one more time without much thought. Indeed, the Miss that Master Huo was fond of had a stunningly beautiful appearance, as if she was a nation-falling beauty. She was incomparably gorgeous, making the Misses in his own mansion, who were considered pretty, look quite plain. No wonder Young Master Huo was deeply in love with her!

However, Cai Wei wasn’t in a hurry to leave with him. Instead, she sweetly said, "By rights, we should not reject our maternal grandfather’s kind intention to have us live in his mansion. However, we are all businesspeople who make a living from our small businesses. Therefore, if he could allow us to continue doing business, we would move in. If not, we would only be able to accept his kind intention. We wouldn’t dare to cause trouble at the mansion."

Hearing this, Steward Cao didn’t dare to make the decision on his own and hurriedly returned to the mansion to report the message.

Duke Du AnGuo, when he heard that Cai Wei wanted to do business, couldn’t help but be furiously angry. He roared, "What an unsuitable thing to do severely undermining the goodwill of Young Master Huo towards her. Since ancient times, the four occupations ranked honorable people highest and businesspeople were seen as doing the lowest occupations in society suitable for those who couldn’t make a living. Since she is now the daughter of the Duke An Guo’s Mansion, why should she expose herself, losing face by doing such a lowly thing? You tell her, from now on, all of their family’s living expenses will come from the public budget of the mansion. She doesn’t need to earn money to support the family."

Upon hearing that, Steward Cao agreed and bowed profusely before leaving the room. He was about to return to the inn when someone behind him called his name. He turned around and saw Du Yu Lang, the eldest son of the head household, quietly following him and beckoning him to stop, saying, "Steward Cao, please hold on. I have a question for you."

Du Yu Lang was a well-known playboy in the Capital. He was fond of beautiful women and even despite having several beautiful concubines, he was still not satisfied. He spent his days frequenting brothels and the Chu Pavilion. He seduced any pretty maid or daughter-in-law in the mansion and often sighed, lamenting about the unattainable beautiful women.

Some days ago, Huo Yuan, the famous handsome young master from the Huo family, who rarely had any interaction with their mansion, sent someone to express his wish to invite Miss Du Mei, who had fled long ago with her family, to come back and live in their mansion. It seemed like he was falling for the eldest daughter born to the Fourth Miss.

Huo Yuan was a famous handsome and lovely young master in the Capital. He was very proud and even Miss Liu Piao Piao, the most famous courtesan in the Capital, who had fallen for him, was deemed unworthy by him. In the end, Liu Piao Piao died of lovesickness.

Everyone knew that Liu Piao Piao was a stunning beauty whom he coveted, however, Huo Yuan did not think highly of her, which showed how high his worldly criteria were.

When he heard that Huo Yuan had taken a liking to the daughter of his concubine, his first thought was that this cousin whom he had never met must be a ravishing beauty, even ten times more beautiful than Liu Piao Piao. This is what had caused Huo Yuan to fall so deeply for her.

However, such a beauty grew up in his family. If she ended up with someone else, wouldn’t it be such a pity?

Upon being questioned by Du Yu Lang, Steward Cao hurriedly bowed and laughed, saying, "What can I do for you, Young Master Du?"

Du Yu Lang took a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that my cousin, whom I have never met before, is blessed with a beauty that could overthrow cities and ruin states. Is that true?"

Steward Cao was taken aback, not expecting that Du Yu Lang would have such thoughts.

Young Miss Biao is the one whom Young Master Huo is deeply in love with. Master Huo and his sworn son, Cao Jin, had a very close relationship, which greatly helped his business over the years. He could not allow Du Yu Lang to steal Young Master Huo’s beloved, could he?
