Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

He should not involve himself in this problem anymore.

If this went on, it would be him who would be shamed.

"Are you reluctant to come to an understanding with me, or was what I said was correct? Hehe!" Qi Qingyao did not seem to notice the infuriated Master Lu and she said nonchalantly, "But don't worry, if you let me treat you, I won't charge too much. Just one hundred thousand taels of gold!"

...

Lu Yan could not utter a single word due to his anger.

The nosy onlookers were getting more and more exuberant.

They could not help but start to whisper.

"It is true that Master Lu does not interact with girls."

"Could it be that what the girl said was true?"

"I heard that when he was in the Capital City, Master Lu was the only man in the Lu family who did not get close to any females."

"Which rich man doesn't play with a few girls? There must be something wrong."

"Sigh, there must be a problem with the young leader of the Senluo Chamber of Commerce in 'that' particular aspect. It would be so shameful if word about it gets out."

"Speaking of which, everyone had doubts about it before, but no one dared speak of it. Who would've thought that this lady would say it so loudly in public today."

Dong Jing watched as the situation went a little bit out of control. These people dared to gossip in front of the Master. If it were not because of Qi Qingyao's wicked lead, they would usually just exchange pleasantries with Lu Yan ostensibly. Today, however, his master definitely could not offend this group of magnates.

Once the balance was broken, the scale would tip to one side uncontrollably.

Dong Jing weighed the consequences for a while before quickly pulling Lu Yan and saying, "Master, l—let's leave."

"We're not leaving." Lu Yan stood there looking at Qi Qingyao, his expression as calm as a lake. There was no apparent ripple on the surface, but he was already boiling internally.

"B-but..." 'If you are not going to leave, as your servant, I can't directly refute this group of tycoons as well.' Dong Jing was dying of anxiety. He could not help but glance at the white cat who had already jumped off his master's lap. The white cat was alone in the corner, watching the whole situation calmly.

Lu Yan's expression did not change much. However, his tone was as if he was gritting his teeth as he declared, "I will challenge this woman today! If I don't make her lose her dignity altogether, I will write my name upside down (1)."

Looking at Lu Yan's expression, Pei Fengtang knew that under his plain demeanor, the man was going crazy inside. He admonished Qi Qingyao, "I advise you, it's better not to provoke Lu Yan like this."

"I didn't want to provoke him, but if the other party takes the initiative, I won't just wait and die." 'Let's settle our old and new grudges. I wanted to make you my grandfather last time but you did not f*cking want it. You never intended to pay me back for the time you scammed me out of nine hundred thousand taels of silver! So don't blame me for being ruthless today.'

...

A member of the Hou family poked his head out. He could not help asking, "So lady, are you the expert who cured Heir Pei's poisoning?"

"She must be Su Hexiao," the young lord Han said reasonably.

"She doesn't seem to be Su Hexiao!" said the fifth lord of the Xin family.

Jiang Siting said lightly, "From the investigation of the people from the Yulong Gang, it was said that she is an ordinary girl from a nearby village with complicated interpersonal relationships. She even knew Master Architect Li Qinglian!"

"Who is Master Architect Li Qinglian?" The young lord Han asked with a puzzled expression.

"Master Architect Li Qinglian..." You don't even know this?! Jiang Siting wanted to scold him for being uncultured. However, he did not want to offend Imperial Duke Han's family. Therefore, he had to explain it to young lord Han sincerely, "The Feixian Pavilion in the Eastern Ling, the Guling Pagoda in the Western Zhou, and the Yaochi Palace, and the Yuewang Tower here in Northern Liang are all designed by Master Architect Li Qinglian."

"Ah, did you mention the Yuewang Tower in Jiangzhou City?" At the mention of Yuewang Tower, young lord Han's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, yes, that's the one," Jiang Siting said, stopping patting his forehead.

"She..." Xin Qiyou, the fifth lord of the Xin family, scratched his head. "How is she related to Master Architect Li Qinglian?"

"This... hasn't been found out yet." Jiang Siting thought that the Yulong Gang was also quite useless as they could not find out about such an important relationship. It seemed he would have to spend a lot of money to investigate this lady's intel with the Zhaixing Administration!
