The next day, Xie An took some people to Yi's house, while Qin Siyu and others searched for places in the city that looked suspicious. Yu Wanqing and Li Shi went to the Jinyulou Chamber of Commerce together. Yu Wanqing certainly didn't come to Jinyulou without any preparations. You know, she still had a jade pendant given by Su Jingheng when she was in Wangjianglou. At that time, the other party said that with this jade pendant, she could eat and drink for free in Wangjianglou, but she had never been there once. I don't know if I can use this jade pendant to deceive the people in their store and tell them the news. "Senior sister? Why don't you go in?"

Li Shi looked at Yu Wanqing with a strange expression. Yu Wanqing had been preparing herself mentally for a long time at the door of the Jinyulou Chamber of Commerce.

Acting to deceive people was still a little difficult for her.

"It's okay, let's go in."

Standing at the door of the Chamber of Commerce for a long time was really a bit abrupt.

But what Yu Wanqing and the others didn't notice was that the window of the room on the left side of the second floor of the Jinyulou Chamber of Commerce was open.

The sun shone in from the window. Su Jingheng leaned against the window, with incense rising. He held the music score in his hand. His eyes inadvertently swept out of the window and happened to see two people hesitating at the door of the Chamber of Commerce.

"From Lingxu Sect?" He whispered to himself.

"It looks like it, sir." The subordinate standing aside also noticed Yu Wanqing and Li Shi and answered respectfully.

"People from Lingxu Sect always have a unique temperament that others don't have." Su Jingheng smiled and joked with his subordinates.

"Yes, they are always a bit simple, with no distractions, and they practice with one heart." The subordinate echoed.

"Unlike us, who are bothered by trivial matters in the outside world and rarely have free time." Su Jingheng sighed.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the scene he had witnessed before, where a man invited a beggar to dinner outside a restaurant.

In this Gushan City, there are countless rich people, but there are very few who are as generous as that.

And that person seems to be a disciple of Lingxu Sect.

People from Lingxu Sect have come once.

Although it is not good to refute Lingxu Sect in this way, he does not intend to tell Lingxu Sect about the Yi family in the name of Jinyulou.

In his plan, it is best to separate Jinyulou and Yi family without any connection.

It is also because he has been busy collecting clues and improving his strength recently, and he has relaxed his control over Jinyulou.

He actually let the Yi family take a lot of things in the name of his future in-laws.

It was only when the people from Lingxu Sect came to check that he noticed that the furniture used by the Yi family to restore the scene was actually taken from Jinyulou.

Yu Wanqing walked into the Jinyulou Chamber of Commerce, gently placed the jade pendant in her hand on the counter, then smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "I want to ask something, is it convenient for the shopkeeper?"

Convenient?

Of course not!

Under the guidance of the owner Su Jingheng, Jinyulou has a prosperous business and a large source of wealth. Every day, countless people come to seek business opportunities and want to get a share of the pie. And the woman in front of him is obviously one of them.

For such people, the shopkeeper is no longer surprised. He didn't even look at Yu Wanqing, but just glanced at the jade pendant she put on the counter casually.

However, when the shopkeeper saw the words on the jade pendant clearly, he suddenly widened his eyes and showed astonishment on his face.

This jade pendant is only half the size of a palm, and the whole body is as warm as sheep fat, crystal clear, and delicate in texture. It is indeed a top-grade jade. More importantly, the three characters "Su Jingheng" were clearly engraved on the jade pendant.

That was the name of their landlord.

He had seen the landlord wearing this jade pendant before, but he hadn't seen it for a long time. He heard that it seemed to be given to someone else.

Could it be given to the girl in front of him?

The shopkeeper looked at Yu Wanqing's disguised appearance and was very confused.

But it didn't stop the shopkeeper from entertaining the two people: "The jade pendant brought by the girl is very valuable. I can't act on my own. So I'll call the steward and you can ask him if you have anything."

Yu Wanqing nodded, as long as Su Jingheng was not called to confront her face to face.

The shopkeeper respectfully went upstairs with the jade pendant and knocked on the door of Su Jingheng's room.

The subordinate opened the door and let the shopkeeper in.

The shopkeeper placed the jade pendant in front of Su Jingheng: "Master, someone downstairs is holding this jade pendant to inquire about the news."

Su Jingheng and his trusted subordinates looked at each other. They were the two Lingxu Sect disciples they had just seen.

Su Jingheng picked up the jade pendant and recognized that it was the one he had given away.

He still remembered the little girl he gave it to, who was smart and insightful, and had great literary talent.

She is only at the peak of Qi Refining, and as a chores disciple of Lingxu Sect, she looks like an ordinary farm girl.

Now she is a disciple of Lingxu Sect.

The world is changing.

Seeing their owner holding the jade pendant with a lot of emotion, the shopkeeper and his subordinates looked at each other and felt that this matter was not simple. Their owner, who had always been indifferent to women, would show such emotions.

"Since she asked, tell her. Xihuan, you go and entertain her." Su Jingheng handed the jade pendant to the subordinate named Xihuan.

"Yes."

Xihuan was about to leave with the shopkeeper.

"Wait a minute." Su Jingheng didn't know what he was thinking.

"Invite her here to entertain her, it's a good opportunity for me to take a look."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper came down not long after he went up, and there was a person following behind him.

The handsome young man clasped his fists and saluted: "I am Xihuan, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce."

Xihuan handed the jade pendant to Yu Wanqing: "This is the young lady's jade pendant."

Yu Wanqing took the jade pendant: "I wonder if the manager is free..."

"Yes, of course I am free." Xihuan led Yu Wanqing upstairs: "Why don't we go upstairs to the private room to chat first."

Yu Wanqing had no objection.

Li Shi was also ready to go with him, but the shopkeeper quickly stopped him: "Young lady, please wait downstairs for a while. I will ask someone to prepare whatever you want to eat and drink."

Li Shi had no choice but to wait downstairs.

Xihuan pushed open the door, and a faint wooden fragrance came to his face.

The room was decorated in an antique style, and the exquisite carved screens divided the room into different areas. There was a guqin placed by the window, and the sunlight shone through the window on the strings, shining brightly.

There are several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, adding a bit of elegance.

There is a copper incense burner on the table, with light smoke curling up, exuding a peaceful atmosphere.

The whole room is full of tranquility and elegance, as if it can make people forget the troubles of the world. However, if there is a person who knows the value of things, he can see that every decoration in this room is valuable.

It's a pity that Yu Wanqing is the one who doesn't know the value of things.

However, Yu Wanqing, who has been educated by Lingxu Sect, can see that there are many protective spiritual treasures in this room.

No matter how Yu Wanqing looks at it, he feels that this room does not look like a room for entertaining guests, but more like someone is living here.

A screen separates the inner and outer rooms. Su Jingheng is sitting in the inner room. When Yu Wanqing just came in, he recognized that this is the woman who invited the beggar to dinner outside the restaurant before.
