A young man dressed as a businessman entered the teahouse with an entourage. The man came to the second floor of the teahouse, saw Liu Yunqing, and walked straight over.

"I've met Madam Jiang Heng in Xia Dongsheng Buzhuang." The man came to Liu Yunqing and saluted.

"Mr. Jiang, please sit down." Liu Yunqing stood up and bowed in return. Although Liu Yunqing already knew that the other party was up to something, he still had to maintain superficial etiquette.

"I had the honor to meet the Marquis once before, and I still remember it fresh. The Marquis and his wife are so talented and beautiful that others really envy them." After Jiang Heng sat down, he complimented them.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your compliment. However, there is no need to say these words in this scene. Mr. Jiang, just express your intention directly." Liu Yunqing is here to solve the problem, and being straightforward is the most efficient.

"Today, I am here to solve the problem for Madam. Shouldn't Madam treat me to a cup of tea?" Jiang Heng asked with a smile, not caring about Liu Yunqing's attitude.

"There is tea, but let me treat you to a drink. I have to set up an archway to make a good show. Mr. Jiang is quite thick-skinned." Liu Yunqing said sarcastically.

"Haha, madam is also a sweet-tempered person. However, madam wrongly blamed me. I am just here to help. If I was trying to get in trouble, how could I come to see madam now? Whether madam believes it or not, I am just here to help. I’m here to help.” Jiang Heng was not angry, but still had a smile on his face.

"To be courteous for nothing is to be a traitor or a thief. Mr. Jiang won't be helping in vain. Just tell him if you have any conditions." Liu Yunqing didn't believe that the other party would kindly help for no reason.

"Of course my help won't be in vain, the price is 20% higher than the market price." Jiang Heng was still smiling.

"Is that just this?" Liu Yunqing waited for Jiang Heng to continue to raise conditions, but Jiang Heng stopped.

"Yes, that's it." Jiang Heng replied firmly.

"You spent so much money just for the 20% profit?" Liu Yunqing obviously didn't believe it. The other party was just looking for this little money. The colleagues are enemies, and the benefits gained by waiting for Xiajia Buzhuang to default will definitely be more than the 20% profit.

"It's really hard to be a good person now. If Madam is worried, I'll add another 20%." Jiang Heng smiled even happier.

"That's not necessary. I believe you for now. Can the delivery be delivered today?" Although Liu Yunqing still has questions, tomorrow is the delivery deadline, and there is no other way at the moment.

"Of course you can. Madam can go inspect the goods and take them away at any time." Jiang Heng replied seriously.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, tell me the address, and we'll pick up the goods in half an hour." Now that we've decided, we should complete the delivery as soon as possible to avoid any further accidents.

"I'll wait for you, madam." Jiang Heng took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Yunqing. Obviously, he was sure that Liu Yunqing would trade with him.

Half an hour later, Liu Yunqing brought shopkeeper Li and two clerks to the address given by Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng was already waiting. After a brief exchange of greetings, shopkeeper Li took the clerk to inspect the goods. It was exactly the cloth they needed, just a lot more. Soon, both parties completed the transaction.

"Madam, you can leave an address and I'll send someone to deliver the cloth." After the transaction was completed, Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"No need, but I still need Mr. Jiang to help me take care of it overnight. We will transport it away tomorrow. I wonder, Mr. Jiang, if that's okay?" Liu Yunqing has no plans to transport the cloth away now.

"Of course you can. We will fully cooperate with you in whatever Madam wants to do. Our Dongsheng Cloth Shop not only provides good layout, but also provides excellent service." Jiang Heng naturally had no objections and even praised himself by the way.

"Then we'll leave first and pick up the goods early tomorrow morning." After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he took Shopkeeper Li and others away.

After passing an intersection and making sure Jiang Heng couldn't see them anymore, Liu Yunqing stopped.

"Shopkeeper Li, send someone to keep an eye on this place. If there is any problem, report it in time. There will be no problem. Early tomorrow morning, send someone to take the goods away and put them into our warehouse." Liu Yunqing ordered.

"Madam, why don't you take it away now? Aren't you going to take it directly for delivery tomorrow? Why put it in our warehouse? That way you won't be able to catch up with the delivery time." Shopkeeper Li was very puzzled by Liu Yunqing's arrangement.

"Do as I say, I have my own opinion. By the way, I will go with you when the goods are delivered tomorrow." Liu Yunqing always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Originally, Liu Yunqing thought it was Jiang Heng, but now it seems that there may be someone else behind it.

After dealing with the affairs of Buzhuang, Liu Yunqing took Lian'er to look at other shops, and did not return to the Hou Mansion until dark. As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, Liu Yunqing felt that something was different from usual, but for the moment he couldn't tell what was different. Liu Yunqing hadn't visited Xia Jingyao for a few days. He came back early today and took Lian'er to Xia Jingyao's yard.

"Madam." The servants in the courtyard greeted Liu Yunqing quickly when they saw her.

"Is the Marquis asleep?" Liu Yunqing asked.

"Madam, the Marquis is not in the room. He is entertaining guests in the front hall." The servant replied truthfully.

"The banquet guest, who is here?" Liu Yunqing asked.

"I don't know about this little guy. He seems to be from the imperial capital." The servants didn't know either.

Liu Yunqing was not very curious about Xia Jingyao's guests. Since Xia Jingyao was not here, he went directly back to his yard. After a tiring day, Liu Yunqing asked Lian'er to prepare hot water. She wanted to take a bath to relieve her fatigue. As soon as Lian'er left, Butler He came.

"Madam, the Marquis asked the villain to invite Madam to the front hall." Butler He said after saluting Liu Yunqing.

"Go to the front hall, isn't the Marquis entertaining guests? Why are you asking me to go? If I don't go, tell the Marquis that I have gone to bed. Also, remember to remind the Marquis that if you don't want to die, just Don't drink. Such an old man doesn't know how to cherish himself at all. Before his injury has healed, he entertained guests and drank them to death." Liu Yunqing's anger suddenly rose. She didn't even know why she was so angry.

"The villain will take his leave first." Butler He walked out of the room with a smile on his face. Although Liu Yunqing was angry, his concern for Xia Jingyao in his words was genuine.

Butler He came to the front hall and repeated Liu Yunqing's meaning in Xia Jingyao's ear. Of course, some words have been replaced by Butler He, but the general meaning has not changed.

"Since she doesn't want to come, let her go." Xia Jingyao nodded.

"Brother Jing, who doesn't want to come? Is there anyone else coming?" A woman sitting next to Xia Jingyao asked.

"No one." Since Liu Yunqing didn't come, Xia Jingyao felt there was no need to say it.

"We haven't seen each other for so long. Let's get drunk today. Come on, let's continue drinking." A man who was slightly older than Xia Jingyao next to him said, holding up his wine glass.

"Zhao Tan, you guys have been tired from traveling today, so just drink here and get drunk another day. We haven't seen each other for so long, let's catch up on old times." Xia Jingyao did not go to hold the wine glass.

"Yes, brother, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, let's talk more." The woman next to him also persuaded.

"Okay, then let's drink some other time. We haven't seen each other for several years, and you won't come back to see us." Zhao Tan put down the wine glass and complained.

"We couldn't help ourselves when we were at the border. We can get together more in the future. When you come this time, stay longer." Xia Jingyao was very happy for the arrival of the two of them. Apart from Pao Ze on the battlefield, Zhao Tan is his best friend and only friend.

The three of them reminisced about their childhood and looked forward to the future, and they didn't leave until they were young.
