Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

A few days later, Dong Jiafu finished writing the first half of the storybook titled "The Fairy Sword", and after knowing that Dong Jialin had returned home, she gave it to him.

After Dong Jialin got the script, he was not as happy as the previous times.

"Second brother, do you think the script this time is not good? Why don't you look very happy?" Dong Jiafu asked directly.

Dong Jialin hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's not about the storybook. Many people are waiting for your new storybook now, so you won't have to worry about selling it."

"Then why are you so worried? Did you have a quarrel with Ru'er?" It could be either business or emotional, Dong Jiafu couldn't think of any other reason.

Dong Jialin hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything you can't tell me, brother?"

"Well, actually it's about the restaurant. I found a store with a great location which is very suitable for opening a restaurant." Dong Jialin finally told the truth.

"What obstacles did you encounter?"

If everything went well, he wouldn't have this expression.

"Do you know who owns that store?"

"It looks like someone I know, who is it?"

"That's the Qin family's shop, and Miss Qin is in charge of it now."

"Qin Fangsui?" Dong Jiafu was surprised.

Dong Jialin nodded. "It was her. I saw the shop was being rented out, so I went to ask, and I met Miss Qin. She said that if I wanted her to rent the shop to me, I had to agree to one condition first."

"What conditions?" Dong Jiafu had a feeling that this condition was related to herself.

Sure enough, I heard Dong Jialin say, "She wants you to meet her."

"I thought it was some condition," Dong Jiafu smiled faintly, "It's just to meet her, okay."

"But I always feel like she's hostile to you. Why don't you just forget it and look for another shop."

"Second brother likes that shop so much, how can he give it up so easily? Let's meet her at the teahouse tomorrow." Dong Jiafu also wanted to know why Qin Fangsui wanted to meet her.

Dong Jialin still felt something was wrong, "Afu, I don't want you to do something you don't want to do for me."

"What are you thinking, second brother?" Dong Jiafu said with a smile, "Qin Fangsui is not a tiger and cannot eat me. She just wants to see me. Maybe she will just chat with me for a few minutes and then rent the shop to us."

Dong Jialin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements tomorrow."

On the second day, Dong Jiafu received a message from Dong Jialin and went to the teahouse.

Dong Jialin was waiting for her at the door.

"Second brother, have the people arrived?" Dong Jiafu acted relaxed.

"Not yet, it should be soon, I'll take you upstairs first."

Dong Jialin specially arranged a quiet room for them. Not long after the two sat down, the waiter came with Qin Fangsui.

"I'm sorry, Miss Dong, to ask you out in this way." Qin Fangsui still had a generous and appropriate smile.

"It's okay. I just didn't expect Miss Qin to use such a simple thing as a condition for renting the store to my second brother."

"Ms. Dong is now well-known in Kyoto. It's not easy to see you, and I can't pretend to be sick and go to the clinic. It just so happens that Mr. Dong has taken a fancy to my shop, so I'll take this opportunity to make an appointment with Miss Dong."

"That really makes Miss Qin worry."

Dong Jialin watched the two of them talking back and forth, and hurriedly said, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk while drinking tea."

"Second Master Dong, can you let me talk to Miss Dong alone?"

Dong Jialin looked at Dong Jiafu and only left after seeing her nod.

"You guys chat."

"Thank you."

After the two of them sat down, Dong Jiafu poured tea for Qin Fangsui, "Miss Qin, this is your first time here, try the tea here."

"Thank you. I've been here before with Manting. She loves listening to the stories told by the storytellers here and even bought some storybooks to bring back to Liangzhou." Qin Fangsui seemed to be remembering something happy. "When I learned that the bookstore was opened by Mr. Dong, I guessed that this teahouse was also his. It turned out to be true. I didn't expect that Mr. Dong also had a talent for business."

"My second brother is really good at this."

Qin Fangsui sighed and said, "If I could have half the ability of Mr. Dong, I wouldn't have to close some of the stores at home and rent them out."

Is he here just to show off his wealth to her?

Dong Jiafu didn't want to beat around the bush with her and said directly, "Miss Qin agreed to rent the shop to my second brother for more than just meeting me."

"Miss Dong is really smart. No wonder Brother Yan contradicted the old lady and Duke Dingguo for you and even gave up the position of Crown Prince."

Dong Jiafu was stunned. When did this happen?

"Miss Dong, I admit that you are very capable. Not only did you cure the old lady's back disease, you also had the courage to treat the victims infected with the plague. Now you are a famous female doctor in the capital, and many noble families have invited you to see patients at home." Qin Fangsui changed the subject, "But you are not suitable for Brother Yan, let alone the Duke's Mansion."

"Brother Yan needs a wife who can help him take care of the harem and relieve him of worries. The Duke's Mansion needs a mistress who can handle the affairs of the mansion with ease."

"And you, can you do it?" Qin Fangsui looked at Dong Jiafu steadily, "Can you put aside everything you have now and concentrate on doing those things in the Duke's Mansion?"

Dong Jiafu was silent for a moment, "What do you want to say?"

Qin Fangsui chuckled, "I can see that you are not a woman who is content with family. If you insist on being with Brother Yan without considering the consequences, you will both suffer in the future."

"Leave Brother Yan now while there is still time. You two are two completely different people. If you stay together, you will only torture each other in the future."

“Hahahaha…” Dong Jiafu suddenly laughed, and the louder she laughed, the louder it got.

Her reaction made Qin Fangsui look confused, "What are you laughing at?"

Dong Jiafu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I laughed at you for saying so much and going in such a long circle. You just wanted to say that Cui Qiyan is not suitable for me, but he is suitable for you. Let me leave him, and then you go and be with him."

Although this was what she meant, Qin Fangsui still felt a little unhappy when Dong Jiafu said it so bluntly.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, I'm indeed a better match for Brother Yan than you are. We've known each other since childhood and understand each other. I'm willing and able to help Brother Yan handle all the affairs of the inner house, be his wise wife, and help him rise in the court."

Dong Jiafu picked up the teacup and drank the tea quietly. When Qin Fangsui couldn't wait to speak again, she put the teacup down heavily, raised her eyes and said, "Miss Qin, you and I have no relationship, so I don't need you to go to great lengths to 'do good for me'. I believe Cui Qiyan is the same. Don't make your selfishness sound so high-sounding. If you are willing to be his good wife, just go find him directly."

"You know he can't possibly marry you, so you come to persuade me to leave him. Whether it's suitable or not is a matter between him and me, and you, an outsider, have no right to interfere."

Dong Jiafu raised her lips, looked into her eyes and said, "Wake up, if Cui Qiyan wanted to marry you, he would have engaged you a long time ago. Why wait until now for you to tell me this?"

"You!" Qin Fangsui stood up uncontrollably, "That's because Brother Yan was deceived by your appearance. One day he will find that I am the most suitable person to be his wife. I just don't want to wait until the day when everyone regrets it."

Qin Fangsui took a deep breath and said, "As long as you leave Brother Yan, I can give the shop that your second brother has set his eyes on to him as compensation."

Dong Jiafu couldn't help laughing again, "Miss Qin is so generous, but who are you looking down on?"

"Dong Jiafu, I'm just trying to save face for everyone!" Qin Fangsui's dignity finally broke down. "You know, Brother Tianyan has been inseparable from me these days."
