C85 Part3

....

In the elegant room of the bamboo building the Shuyu Pavilion, Rong Zhan waited for a long time, enjoying the fragrant tea, the icy and fresh fruits and the exquisite pastries available.

When Murong Ci pushed the door open and entered the room, he immediately got up to greet her, bowing his head very respectfully and thoughtfully.

"Young Master Rong, what have you been doing?"

Qin Ruo joked with a smile.

"It was too negligent of me to leave when the owner needed help and was involved in the danger last time.

Today, I am here to plead guilty."

Rong Zhan dressed in a white robe, said with a serious and relaxed smile.

"I know. It wasn't your fault."

Murong Ci smiled as she sat down.

Her stare fell to the food on the table.

She suddenly felt hungry, and immediately picked up the pastries and fruits and ate them unceremoniously.

Qin Ruo smiled and said,

"Didn't Young Master Rong say there's good news?"

He motioned for the two to drink tea, and said,

"Owner, I finally found out about the Linglong Pavilion."

"Oh?"

Murong Ci was pleasantly surprised,

"Speak quickly."

"Linglong Pavilion specializes in Jade, but in fact, this is just a superficial business.

Linglong Pavilion's secretly doing other things..."

His voice became lower and lower, and his expression secretive.

As she listened carefully, her eyes became brighter and colder.

Qin Ruo covered her mouth in surprise,

"I can't believe the Linglong Pavilion is doing these things secretly."

Murong Ci frowned inexplicably,

"How are they allowed to operate?

Is there a lack of gambling halls and brothel halls in the Capital?

Why should the Linglong Pavilion be covering its activities?"

Rong Zhan picked up his teacup and took a sip,

"That's what I've found right now.

Most of the guests of the Linglong Pavilion are either rich and wealthy people or Court Officials.

If people knew that these Officials are playing like this, it would hurt the officials image and future."

Qin Ruo nodded,

"It does damage the Official's image."

Her cold eyes condensed in one place,

"Does that mean Wan Fang and Wang Tao also went to the Linglong Pavilion to gamble?"

"What's the plan of the owner?"

Seeing her resolute expression, he knew clearly already.

"The Linglong Pavilion is too mysterious, it seems we'll have to take a trip there."

She curled her lips and smiled.

"I will accompany the owner this time."

He immediately volunteered.

"This subordinate is waiting for you outside."

Qin Ruo said.

...

At early evening when the lanterns began to be lit, the street market was still bustling.

Brightly lit, a luxurious carriage slowly stopped at the front door of the Linglong Pavilion.

The guy in the shop had sharp eyes and immediately came out to welcome the guests.

Seeing the two young men in beautiful and gorgeous clothes getting off the carriage, the guy smiled like a flower,

"The two young men are here to appreciate our Jade?

Please, come inside.

Yesterday a batch of new goods has just arrived, and all of them are exquisite carvings.

You must see these superb Jade."

The two handsome and distinguished young men entered the shop, and looked around, without speaking.

"What kind of Jade are the two distinguished young men looking for?"

The shop attendant was a little anxious when he met the cold glance of the two guests.

"What's so good about these Jade sculptures here?

We have plenty of these all over my mansion."

The thinner young man said contemptuously.

"Ignore him, my cousin is always above the top.

It's his bad habit that will never change."

The other young man laughed and said,

"Today I brought him out with me to play and have some fresh air and enjoy interesting things.

Hopefully your "Jade" here will be worthy of appreciation."
