After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 137 Settling down

Hearing Xiaoliu's question, Yu Qingli became interested. "Why? Xiaoliu, do you have any connections?"

Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment. "It's not really a connection, but when I was a servant, I got to know a few people in the Prince's Mansion. Maybe I can get some inside information."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Xiaoliu. She really didn't expect that Xiaoliu was such a thoughtful person. Thinking about it carefully, although Xiaoliu was not very old, he was very experienced and steady in doing things. I think it was related to his past experiences.

Seeing Yu Qingli's look, Xiao Liu's heart skipped a beat, and even his voice trembled slightly, "Boss, if you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say anything just now. Please don't chase me away."

Yu Qingli burst out laughing, "When did I ever say I was going to kick you out? Besides, you said you were doing all this to help me, right? I'm not an ungrateful boss."

Xiao Liu then showed a happy expression, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"Don't be so excited. Since I've already bought you, I won't drive you away easily." Yu Qingli smiled, "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless one day, I find out that you betrayed me!"

Xiao Liu lowered his brows, a complex expression flashing across his eyes for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Don't worry, Master. Xiao Liu will never betray you. The moment you bought me, you became my new master."

Yu Qingli smiled and said, "Okay, I was just kidding. Why are you so nervous? We can talk about business later. The most important thing now is to find a place to stay. Living in an inn like this won't last long."

"Yes, Boss, Xiaoliu will arrange it tomorrow."

Yu Qingli nodded with satisfaction. She really picked up a capable guy!

After dinner, Yu Qingli and Xiaoliu went back to their rooms to rest. Everything was peaceful.

Until the moon rose in the courtyard, a black figure jumped into the room from the inn window like a ghost, and Xiaoliu, who was originally sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes alertly, with a clear look in his eyes.

Seeing the person coming, Xiao Liu quickly knelt on the ground, "Master!"

The man raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "How is she these days?"

"My Lord, the young lady is doing well! I heard she's planning to buy a house, and it seems she's going to live in the capital for a long time!"

"Stay for a long time?!" The visitor narrowed her peach blossom eyes and sat down gracefully on the chair in the room. What was this woman up to?

When he left Luoyang City, he specially sent someone to follow her, fearing that no one would take care of her after he left. However, on the second day after Yu Zhengsha left Luoyang and returned to Beijing, he got the news that she had also come to Beijing.

He was dissatisfied but secretly happy in his heart, even though he knew that she was not doing this for him. What could be more joyful than being able to see the woman he loved so closely?

Seeing his master lost in thought, Xiao Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "If the master is thinking about the young lady, why not go and see her in person?"

Glancing at Xiaoliu sideways, the visitor said helplessly, "If I could see her, why would I let you follow me? Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since she wants to buy a house, the one in the south of the city is good. Find a reason to sell it to her!"

"Yes!"

The man glanced at the moonlight outside the window. If he didn't want to alert the enemy, how could he not look at her when she was only a wall away? !

He sighed again and ordered, "Xiao Liuzi, take good care of her!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust."

The man jumped and disappeared into the darkness outside the window like a ghost again. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xiao Liu hurriedly closed the window, pretending to be sleepy, and went to open the door. However, he was stunned when he saw the person coming. "Boss, it's so late, are you still awake?"

Yu Qingli smiled awkwardly. Perhaps it was because she had just arrived in the capital and had not yet adapted to the environment, but she was actually suffering from insomnia. When she was about to take out the medical book to read, she suddenly heard voices coming from next door. Although she could not hear it clearly, it was particularly distinct in such a night.

What concerned Yu Qingli the most was that the voice was so familiar that she couldn't help but stand up and come over to see what was going on.

"Are there any guests in your room?"

After asking, he felt it was a bit abrupt and quickly said, "Nothing, I don't mean to pry into your privacy."

But Xiaoliu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I have a habit of talking in my sleep. Am I disturbing the master's sleep?"

"Oh, no, no! You should go to bed early!"

As Yu Qingli spoke, she turned around and went back to her room. Thinking about the voice, she felt a little annoyed. She closed her eyes again and fell into a deep sleep in a trance.

An unexpectedly good night’s sleep!

Early the next morning, the sun was scorching hot. The scorching sun made the already dry Kyoto even hotter. Occasionally, people walked on the street in a hurry, perhaps walking in the shade of the eaves on the side of the road, hoping to get some shade.

When Yu Qingli got up, Xiaoliu had already gone out and left her a note saying that he was out looking for a house and would come back to report when he found a suitable one.

Such a considerate and capable guy really made Yu Qingli wonder if her luck was about to change.

When the sun was high in the sky, Xiaoliu finally came back, his face covered in sweat. He didn't even have time to rest, but went straight back to his room to report to Yu Qingli that he had found a nice house.

As Xiaoliu left the inn, she found that a carriage had been prepared at the door. There was even cold tea on the carriage to relieve the summer heat. Yu Qingli was a little surprised. Where did Xiaoliu get the money?

As if seeing Yu Qingli's confusion, Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Boss, have you forgotten? Boss gave Xiao Liu a lot of silver before. After deducting the money for my mother's funeral, there was still a lot left. I thought, since this is Boss's money, I should do something for him..."

Yu Qingli didn't know what to say for a moment. This Xiaoliu was really meticulous and impeccable. Even Meihong, who had been with her for many years, probably had never been so wholeheartedly devoted to her. What's more, Meihong had no intention of serving her.

Although he was a clerk, Xiao Liu was more like a good servant, an attendant, or even a servant. He took care of everything, no matter how big or small, and made her very satisfied.

Yu Qingli got on the carriage. The warm breeze blowing in from the window made her feel very comfortable. If she was not in Kyoto and if she did not have a deep hatred in her heart, she would really rather be a traveling businesswoman, traveling all over the country and seeing the scenery of the world.

As the carriage moved forward, the number of shops and people on the street increased. If she remembered correctly, they had already arrived at the most prosperous area of the capital, the south of the city!

This area is mostly occupied by officials, rich and prosperous, and can be considered a wealthy area in Kyoto. Could it be that the house Xiaoliu is looking for is here? Then the price must be very expensive!

As he was thinking this, the carriage slowly stopped. Xiaoliu's voice came from outside the carriage, "Boss, we're here!"

Yu Qingli got off the carriage and stopped at the gate of a huge courtyard.

This is a courtyard house with all the characteristics of northern houses. It is grand and spacious. Just looking at it makes people feel happy!

The yard was very tidy, and it looked like someone cleaned it regularly. What surprised Yu Qingli even more was that there were many beautiful roses planted in the yard, and even green lotuses grown in water tanks. It seemed that the original owner of this place was an elegant person.

A man in his thirties or forties, wearing a long gown, stood in the courtyard. He looked like the housekeeper of the courtyard. When he saw Yu Qingli coming in, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Are you the customer who wants to buy the house? I'm the housekeeper here, my last name is Liu."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. "Butler Liu, I just looked around. This courtyard is indeed quite nice. I wonder what the price is?"

Steward Liu said sternly, "My master has a family emergency, so he wants to sell this yard quickly. As for the price, it's absolutely fair, at least five hundred taels of silver."

"Five hundred taels?" Yu Qingli was a little surprised. Such a nice courtyard, and in such a location, must be worth more than that. She initially thought that it would cost at least two or three thousand taels of silver!

Seeing Yu Qingli's surprise, Butler Liu couldn't help but frown, "Sir, this price is already acceptable. If it's any lower, I might as well leave this yard idle. If the owner wasn't in a hurry to sell it, the price wouldn't be so low. Besides, your followers have already lowered the price once before. If they lower it again..."

Yu Qingli glanced at Xiaoliu in surprise. She really had picked up a treasure. This move saved her nearly a thousand taels of silver. Xiaoliu was really her lucky star.

"Okay! Since you're so straightforward, I won't continue to bargain. Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. I want this yard."

She made a good deal by buying such a nice yard at such a cheap price.

Butler Liu continued, "Sir, there are some furniture in this courtyard. The owner originally wanted me to sell it on his behalf. Since you've bought this courtyard, you're definitely going to live there. Why not buy the furniture as well? That would save you the money for furniture, right?"

Butler Liu had a smile on his face, looking like a businessman. Yu Qingli thought to herself that it seemed that this man was a good businessman, but she didn't know if he would raise the price on the spot. However, since she was going to buy furniture anyway, she might as well wait and see.

"Can I take a look at the furniture before I decide?"

"Okay, please follow me!"

Butler Liu brought Yu Qingli into the room. The room was very neat and fresh, with a touch of elegance everywhere. In addition, the furniture was very new, and some were even better than those on the market.

Yu Qingli was very satisfied with the furniture and asked, "How much do these furniture cost?"

"These pieces of furniture are all top-quality. Please give me three hundred taels of silver."

These pieces of furniture were indeed good items, and the price the housekeeper asked for was very reasonable. Yu Qingli did not bargain, and the deal was quickly reached.

Finally, I have settled down in the capital!
