Yuan Feng was shocked and doubtful, turned around, and walked in.
"My Lord, this is the letter sent by the young lady of the Marquis Mansion."
Chu Yunli hadn't gone out yet. He frowned slightly when he saw the letter in Yuan Feng's hand. Then he thought of something and stretched out his hand, "Bring it over."
"Yes." Yuan Feng handed over the letter with both hands and was even more surprised when he saw his master's calm face.
What is the relationship between His Excellency and the young lady of the Marquis Mansion?
They actually started exchanging letters...
His Lord was not interested in things between men and women at all, and even Lian County Princess Hualian's overtures were coldly rejected, but now...
Chu Yunli opened the envelope and the jade pendant fell into his hand. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that the woman would come to him so quickly.
He opened the letter and saw a beautiful handwriting.
The content she wrote was very brief. She only wrote two lines, mentioning the matter of repaying her kindness and asking him to meet at the teahouse.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the two lines of words carefully, with great interest.
"She can read?"
Yuan Feng looked at his master's face and felt more and more surprised that he could actually smile at a letter...
But he had no idea what the lord was talking about. Miss Jiang was a well-known talented woman. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and of course, she could read.
Chu Yunli put the letter away, opened the box on the side, put it in, and said calmly, "Tomorrow's things are all rejected."
Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and answered.
......
Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Ning was relieved when she learned that the letter had been sent. After Chu Yunli saw the letter, he would definitely come to see her tomorrow.
Rumor has it that the regent is cruel and ruthless. Even his own relatives can be sent to prison if they commit crimes. Everyone is afraid of him.
But she knew that Chu Yunli was an extremely sensible person, and he kept his word and would do whatever he promised, no matter what happened.
A fragrance of plum blossoms floated over. Looking up, the plum blossoms were quietly placed in the vase.
The petals are blooming in layers, cool and elegant.
She smiled faintly, stretched out her hand, and touched the plum blossom.
The next day.
Jiang Ning found a reason and told her mother that she wanted to go shopping with Miss Jin.
Madam Lin gave her a sum of money, and if she saw anything she liked while browsing the shops, she could buy them all.
Madam Lin wanted to accompany her daughter to take a tour of the capital, but the affairs in the back house of the Marquis Mansion were complicated and she really couldn't spare time. Now that she saw that her daughter had made a good friend, she was relieved.
"Go ahead, go ahead. If you don't have enough money, just tell Mother."
"I understand." Jiang Ning agreed.
Jiang Ning took Chun Lan out and went straight to the teahouse as agreed.
She asked Chu Yunli to meet at Qingxin Teahouse.
This Qingxin Tea House is Chu Yunli's secret business. She heard it from Jiang Mengyue's words in her previous life. They could have arranged to meet somewhere else, but after thinking about it, it was better to meet within his sphere of influence.
She didn't want the matter to get out. There were some things that she had to hide from everyone, especially the Marquis Mansion.
In the private room of the teahouse, if you open the window, you can see the bustling streets of the capital.
Jiang Ning picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked out the window.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Chun Lan walked in and said nervously, "Young lady, Lord Chu is here..."
Then Chu Yunli walked in.
Jiang Ning put down her teacup, stood up, and smiled slightly when she saw Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli looked at the woman with a flowery smile and was slightly startled. He always felt that there was a meaning to curry favor behind that smile. He had seen many people who flattered him, and he could tell people's thoughts at a glance.
Jiang Ning smiled from the bottom of her heart. The person in front of her is her money bag.
" Lord Chu, please sit down."
She also specially poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chu Yunli.
They have to talk about a large sum of money. It would be better to talk slowly over a cup of tea.
Chu Yunli glanced at the tea. He never touched anything that had been touched by others. Outside, he would test everything he put in his mouth to see if it was poisonous before eating it.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant.
If Yuan Feng were here, his jaw would definitely drop at this scene.
Jiang Ning glanced at Chu Yunli, and in order not to waste both parties' time, she went straight to the point and brought up the important matter.
After Chu Yunli heard this, he raised his eyes, his face was cold and calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"What do you want?"
Jiang Ning put her hand on the table, tapping it regularly and drawing complicated circles.
She seemed hesitant about what to say.
It seems a little awkward to ask someone for money when you just meet them...
