Ruan Tang reached the second floor according to the direction pointed by shopkeeper Luo, and then turned to the southeast.
The style of this inn is circular, with two large staircases.
There are three floors in total, each floor will have one or two VIP rooms, and the southeast location on the second floor is where the most distinguished room on the second floor is located.
Ruan Tang found the target room without much effort.
When she arrived, she inquired about it and found out that this merchant had some money and was willing to spend money. Therefore, the room he stayed in must be of high standard.
Ruan Tang walked to the door of the wing, folded her hands in front of her, put on a dignified look, and then signaled Xiaofeng to knock on the door for her.
After knocking on the door, the two of them waited for a long time, but the door did not open and there was no response from inside.
Ruan Tang had no choice but to signal Xiaofeng to knock again.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
Ruan Tang couldn't help but frown.
"Madam, why don't I go down and ask Shopkeeper Luo if this man has gone out and forgotten something?"
Ever since Ruan Tang gave birth to the child, she has not allowed Xiaofeng and Ling Qing to call her master. She originally asked them to call her by her name, but they refused.
After much deliberation, I had no choice but to let them call me 'Madam'.
In this way, Ruan Tang will be saved a lot of trouble.
Because she often needs to go out and show off, if she is a single woman, many things are not particularly convenient.
Take buying a house as an example. Although the landlord does not see proof that you are married, if he knows that you are an unmarried single woman, he will not be willing to buy or rent the house.
Although she could buy it in the names of Xiaofeng and Qingfeng.
In the past, she often did this.
And she was also a single woman before, so she had nothing to worry about.
But now that she is the mother of two children, it would be more appropriate to call her Madam outside.
It also saves you a lot of gossip.
Ruan Tang nodded, "Go ahead. There are many customers in this shop, so it's not surprising that he forgot for a while."
Xiaofeng turned around and went downstairs to find Shopkeeper Luo, while Ruan Tang stood waiting.
But she just turned her head slightly and glanced elsewhere, and saw a familiar figure.
But soon the figure was blocked by the pillars on the corridor.
Ruan Tang's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, leaning her head to look at the pillar.
It was okay not to look at it. When she looked at it, she was stunned, but she quickly reacted and ran down to a nearby pillar to hide.
She actually saw Ruan Qingluan.
When the Ruan family collapsed, she knew that Ruan Qingluan had taken refuge with Shen Qianyi.
Ruan Qingluan had never harmed her, so she ignored her again.
I didn't expect to see her here after so many years.
But why is she here?
She took refuge in Shen Qianyi. Even if she couldn't enter the Duke's palace and become the crown prince's wife, she might as well become Shen Qianyi's concubine. So why did she come here? What are you doing here?
Ruan Tang hid behind the pillar and peeked out to look at her.
There was a fat man with her.
During the conversation, Ruan Qingluan still held his arm, and the two of them looked intimate, unlike ordinary friends.
Could it be that Ruan Qingluan was abandoned by Shen Qianyi? Is she hooking up with someone else now?
Ruan Tang couldn't help but be curious in his heart.
No matter what, she didn't want Ruan Qingluan to know that she was here.
She quickly went downstairs while Ruan Qingluan and the fat man entered the wing.
Xiaofeng happened to ask shopkeeper Luo and was about to go up to find Ruan Tang. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked up the stairs, he saw Ruan Tang coming down the stairs with an anxious look on his face.
Xiaofeng wanted to call her, but Ruan Tang raised his hand to stop him.
Ruan Tang said softly: "Go back first."
Xiaofeng was confused, but didn't say anything. He turned around and walked downstairs with Ruan Tang.
Shopkeeper Luo saw Ruan Tang coming down and hurried over to greet him.
"Boss Ruan, that guest..."
"Shopkeeper Luo, I still have something to do in the store. I'm going back now. I'll come back to see that distinguished customer another day."
"Okay, okay, boss Ruan, please go and do your work first, and come back when you have time. Anyway, the distinguished guest has paid one month's rent, so he won't leave so soon."
Ruan Tang nodded to him and took Xiaofeng to leave the inn.
But as soon as she crossed the threshold of the inn, she stopped and walked back to the shopkeeper's table.
"Shopkeeper Luo, in the Peony Wing on the second floor, how long has the guest lived here?"
Shopkeeper Luo had benefited from Ruan Tang and had nothing to hide from her.
"I just came here. I checked in yesterday. It's a coincidence that the girl in the wing has the same surname as Boss Ruan, and her surname is also Ruan."
Ruan Tang curled his lips towards her, understanding in his heart, and secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
She took Xiaofeng out of the inn, then gave Xiaofeng a few words, then got on the carriage and went home, not even staying in the restaurant.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the people and things in the past, and Ruan Qingluan was not a good person to begin with, so it was best not to let her know that she was here.
After Ruan Tang got on the carriage, she was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the building she wanted to buy.
After leaving the inn, Xiaofeng told her what he asked shopkeeper Luo.
It turned out that the merchant was a weirdo. He rarely went out. Usually, his personal attendants would go out to do things for him. Occasionally, the shopkeeper saw him going out once or twice, but he was wearing a curtain hat.
Just now Ruan Tang and the others knocked on the door but he didn't open it. It must be because the entourage was not there that he didn't open the door.
Ruan Tang didn't think it was anything.
She had traveled all over the country and had been doing business for so many years, and she had met all kinds of people. She didn't think it was strange to be like this.
It's just a matter of personal communication habits.
Now that he knows his temperament, even if he goes to the inn to look for him, he may not be able to see him.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go to the poster to discuss it again. At the worst, you can add some more money and let the poster discuss it with the merchant. Maybe it can be done.
When Ruan Tang arrived at the building, the door happened to be open.
Ruan Tang was very happy.
She quickly got out of the car and walked in. Sure enough, the landlord happened to be there, and there was a strange man next to her.
The host was surprised when he saw it, "Boss Ruan, why are you here?"
She had already explained to Ruan Tang before that his building was promised to someone who paid more than her.
Ruan Tang didn't say anything before. He thought she had given up. Unexpectedly, she came again today, which surprised him.
"Isn't it because I can't sleep when I go back? I'm thinking, why don't I come again and ask Boss Zhang to see if we can discuss it again?" Ruan Tang greeted him with a smile.
The host looked embarrassed, and then looked at the man next to him.
"Boss Ruan is really sorry. It is this young man who wants to buy my building. We are about to sign the deed and pay the money."
Ruan Tang couldn't help but turn her eyes to look at the man, and when Ruan Tang looked over, the man nodded slightly towards her.
