pamper you, make you bad

After choosing the location of Huafu's branch, Cui Qingyao arranged the manpower and hurried back to Beijing.First, I went home to see Mrs. Cui, and then came to the Grand Master's Mansion.

When she came over, Xi Yutong and the two were playing chess.

Xi Yutong stood up and looked around, and found that Cui Qingyao was much thinner than before: "How is the Huafu branch?"

"Qingyao came here to report this matter to Miss." Cui Qingyao took out some paper and handed it to her, on which was written the plan of the branch.

Xi Yutong glanced at it and then let go, "You can handle these things, I can trust you."

Cui Qingyao was not pretentious, and nodded: "In that case, then Qingyao can make her own decision." After talking about the store, her expression became a little funny.

Xi Yutong saw it, and asked bluntly: "But about Changtao and Liufu?"

Cui Qingyao nodded.

Xi Yutong briefly talked about the changes in the capital during this period, especially the matter that Liu Qingying and Yao Xiaoliu were going to marry the second prince.

Apparently Cui Qingyao didn't expect that her elder sister would marry the second prince, and she was stunned for a moment, unable to close her mouth at all.

"Didn't she have a marriage contract with Changtao?" Cui Qingyao was a little puzzled, "Could it be that the second prince robbed her?" But she still didn't understand, the second prince had never seen such a beautiful celestial being, and as for robbing her who was slightly beautiful but already Do you have a married sister?Or did he take a fancy to Liu Qingying's wealthy Liu family?

After much deliberation, the last possibility is the highest.

Xi Yutong explained with a smile: "The three of them lost their morals after drinking and did some stupid things. They were discovered and had to get married."

Cui Qingyao was still puzzled, after all, in her impression, none of the three of them were so careless, unless they were caught in a trap.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the two of them, and noticed a little bit of difficulty from their disapproving attitudes.

But she didn't think deeply about what was going on, after all, that group of people was originally a group, and now they just got closer, which didn't affect her in the slightest.Thinking of this, she said her plan: "Miss, lord, I want to resume my engagement with Changtao."

When Xi Yutong heard the words, she was so shocked that the white stones in her hand were misplaced. She hurriedly picked it up and said "it doesn't count", and then looked at Cui Qingyao with a shocked expression on her face: "You just said you want to resume the engagement?"

"Yes." Cui Qingyao nodded, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub. Since he wants me to go back to Liu's house, then I will go back to Liu's house. The condition is that I will manage some of Liu's stores. But in the end, they can't control it. It's gone."

Xi Yutong frowned: "Even if you want to take over the Liu family, there's no need to use your own marriage as a bargaining chip."

"This is the fastest way." Cui Qingyao had already figured it out when she was in Huafu, "Just take back the Liu family before getting married, and I can still regret the appointment."

Xi Yutong asked again: "Have you thought about it clearly, if you fail to take over the Liu family before getting married, then what about you?"

"Then get married." Cui Qingyao said, "Although I am a concubine, but now Liu Qingying has become the second prince's concubine, and even I am also a wife. No matter how I marry, I will still be a wife. In the future, Changtao will marry a wife. It's just a concubine's room, and I can still suppress it. What's more, I'm married to Changtao, and they will relax their vigilance against me. When I'm in the back house, it will be much easier if I want to take revenge. Let him have no children or grandchildren."

Speaking of the latter, Cui Qingyao's tone was cold, obviously very firm.

Xi Yutong didn't expect her to be so extreme, and wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Liu Qingyao raising her hand.

"Miss, Qingyao knows that you are worried about me, but I've already made up my mind, so you don't need to say any more." Cui Qingyao shrunk down to her, "From the day I want to take revenge on the Liu family, I will never let go of marriage or anything like that." In my heart."

Hearing what she said, Xi Yutong could only swallow the words back, "Go back and have a good rest first, then think about it carefully, if you still don't change your mind, then do whatever you want, the prince and I will support everything."

Cui Qingyao was moved, "Qingyao knows, thank you Miss and Prince here."

After watching Cui Qingyao leave, Xi Yutong was a little confused.

"If you are worried, I will send someone to take care of her." Feng Yuyi said, "As for the marriage, you don't have to worry too much. Now that Concubine Bi is seriously ill, His Majesty will probably order at least one year's marriage Have a happy event. For more than a year, no one knows what will happen."

According to Feng Yuyi's analysis, it seems that resuming the engagement is not as bad as she thought.

Cui Qingyao is not an impulsive person, and obviously thought of resuming the engagement after thinking of a countermeasure.

After thinking it over, she smiled and looked at the person opposite: "In that case, please send someone over to help Qingyao."

Feng Yuyi nodded, glanced at the chess piece that was only halfway down, "Do you want to continue playing chess?"

Xi Yutong hastily picked up a white stone and placed it in the position he had planned.

Feng Yuyi's movements were very fast, and in the evening, he picked the dark seven out of the dark guards.Dark Seven is a woman, who is superb at playing hidden weapons, and protects Cui Qingyao as a personal maid.

When Cui Qingyao learned that the dark seven was arranged by Xi Yutong and the two of them, she was moved, and she became more determined to take back the Liu family and give it to the two after revenge.

Cui Qingyao thought that the name "Dark Seven" didn't look like the name of a maid, so she asked, "Do you have your own name?"

An Qi shook her head: "No, please give me a name, Miss."

"Put it to death and rebirth, call it the first birth." Cui Qingyao thought for a while, "Then call it Cui Chu, how about it?"

An Qi's eyes flickered, and then he knelt down halfway: "Miss Cui Chuxie gave me the name."

Cui Qingyao nodded and pulled her up: "There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future."

Cui Chu nodded: "This subordinate obeys."

Cui Qingyao laughed: "If someone is there, you can just call yourself a slave, and you don't need to call yourself a subordinate."

Cui Chu naturally corrected himself and said: "Yes, this servant obeys."

Cui Qingyao looked at her stern face, then at the black tights on her body, and rubbed her brows: "Before that, you should change your clothes first, and then can you change your tone, don't be so cold?"

With that stern demeanor, she doesn't look like a simple maid.

Cui Chudang's secret guard was required to be expressionless and not to have any fluctuations in his thoughts, so he was a little at a loss for Cui Qingyao's request, and looked at him blankly.

Cui Qingyao sighed: "Forget it, change your clothes first, and then come with me to Liu Mansion."

Cui Chu quickly responded: "Yes."

Changing Cui Chu's black night clothes into light blue maid's clothes, Cui Qingyao just noticed that An Qi's appearance is also very handsome, with a tall figure, especially her temperament is even more eye-catching, no one looks like a maid.

"How about you protect me in the dark?" she asked.It's too unique, it doesn't look like a maid anyway.

Cui Chu replied truthfully: "My lord ordered my subordinates to be my maids to protect you."

Cui Qingyao: "...But you don't look like a personal maid at all."

Cui Chu stopped talking, lowered his eyes, restrained his breath, and came behind Cui Qingyao, with lowered eyes and bowed head, the premise was that he didn't look up.

This is a bit like this, Cui Qingyao can barely accept it, so she stopped talking nonsense and took the other party out directly to Liu's mansion.

The nursing home of the Liu Mansion naturally recognized her, and hurriedly went to report to Master Liu.

Cui Qingyao was not the master who was left alone, so she walked in directly with the maid, and arrived at the hall after the butler told her, and called out to the man on the seat, "Master Liu."

Master Liu frowned, but he still suppressed it, and said softly, "You child, you have only been out for a few days, and you don't even remember being a father?"

Cui Qingyao sat down beside her with a stern expression: "Did Master Liu forget about reconciling with my mother?"

Master Liu said: "Although we are reconciled, our blood is thicker than water. Being so unfamiliar makes Wei father sad."

Cui Qingyao glanced at the "Father-Daughter Love" group, and lost her patience: "I didn't come here to reminisce, I just wanted to discuss a business with you."

Master Liu no longer pretended to be a father and daughter, and asked straightforwardly: "Oh, what business?"

"Didn't you send Changtao to come to me to talk about resuming the engagement?" Cui Qingyao didn't want to stay here for a moment, but she could only hold back her impatience for future plans.

Cui Chu is very sensitive to other people's emotions. Seeing that she was faintly impatient, he picked up a kettle on the side and poured her a glass of water, and handed over the warm water glass to bring her back to her senses.

Cui Qingyao glanced at her, picked it up and took a brief sip, and looked up at the person above: "It's not impossible to resume the marriage, but I also have a request."

Master Liu was still wondering why she suddenly agreed and whether there was any conspiracy in it, but he was relieved when he heard the last sentence: "What request?"

"You are nothing more than seeing my ability to help Xi Yutong manage the store to make money." Cui Qingyao put down the teacup, "Then I don't mind helping you manage some restaurants, but I want [-]% of the profit."

Before Master Liu could speak, an angry and impatient female voice came in, "I don't agree."

Liu Qingying trotted in hurriedly, holding the hem of her skirt: "Daddy, don't be confused by her. She just manages the restaurant, how can she get [-]% of the income?"

"The situation in the restaurant is not good now, especially after the business of Phoenix Restaurant has plummeted after being criticized by the prince." Cui Qingyao looked at Liu Qingying confidently, with disdain in her words, "If I were to manage it, I can definitely let Phoenix Restaurant Resume the previous business and even take it a step further.”

Liu Qingying remembered Feng Yuyi's order to rectify Fenghuang Restaurant, which led to its poor business, her complexion turned pale, but when she remembered the identity of the person opposite, she smiled complacently: "You are Prince Yi's man, why don't you continue to help She makes money, but she wants to promise a man who regrets the marriage contract, and then come back to the Liu Mansion where you were expelled? Daddy, I think she has a bad stomach, I really can't believe it."

Cui Qingyao didn't panic, and replied slowly: "I am not a member of Lord Yi, but I helped Xi Yutong run the store because I asked King Yi before. Now the store is getting bigger and bigger, but she suspects that I am pocketing it, and even sends me to Huafu went to run a new store. In less than two months, I helped the porcelain workshop earn tens of thousands of taels, and I have already paid back the favors of the two. Run to Huafu, who has experienced the locust plague and is impoverished."

The fact that she went to Huafu is not a secret, and it can be found out as long as you go to investigate, but the specific circumstances cannot be found out, so she is completely confident, glanced at the person in charge, lowered her eyes and said, "I don't care about hiring me. Who is it, the prince, Xi Yutong, or Master Liu, I just want to earn more money to take care of my mother."

Liu Qingying caught a glimpse of her father's hesitant expression, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his sleeves to act like a spoiled child: "Daddy, don't believe her nonsense, that [-]% profit is not a small sum." She has always been in charge of the Phoenix Restaurant. Leave it to Cui Qingyao, and she will be in trouble.

Master Liu was also a little hesitant, but thinking about the amount of silver Cui Qingyao earned for Xi Yutong, the bargaining chip in his heart began to tilt unconsciously, "If that's the case, then I will take care of the Phoenix Restaurant for you."

"Daddy!" Liu Qingying stamped her feet anxiously.

"Qingying." Master Liu put on a straight face, "The Phoenix Restaurant has gotten to the point where it is today, and you still have the face to persuade Daddy?"

Liu Qingying was speechless immediately.

Only then did Master Liu look at Cui Qingyao: "But I also have a condition. If you can't recover within a month, no, if you can't increase the profit of Phoenix Restaurant by [-]% before, then forget about this business. If you can earn more [-]%, [-]% of the profits belong to you, and I can even let you manage other restaurants."

Hearing this, Liu Qingying stopped obstructing her immediately, because the profit of Phoenix Restaurant was very high before, if adding [-]% to it, it would not be a small sum, and in her opinion, it was something completely impossible, Cui Qingyao naturally couldn't get it [-]% of the profit.

Cui Qingyao frowned, but she was already prepared, so she didn't refuse, and responded directly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the restaurant for rectification, and please send someone to inform you, Mr. Liu, so don't let me waste my time on the shop waiter. Be careful and think about it." She said the last sentence looking at Liu Qingying, and the meaning was very clear, it was to let Master Liu take care of the other party and not let him do small tricks to hinder her.

Liu Qingying stomped her feet in anger, "It's impossible for you to do it, and I won't do those trivial things."

"That's the best." Cui Qingyao sneered and got up, "Since we've settled the conversation, I won't bother you."

"Yeah." Master Liu stood up, "Then I'll take you out."

Now that he talked about cooperation, Cui Qingyao couldn't show his face anymore, and nodded with a smile, "I'm sorry."
