Gu Qingxue nodded her head in satisfaction after checking it. she reached out and took the silver notes from the waiter. “Yes, these herbs are very good. I’m very satisfied. Please help me wrap them up. I’ll take them away now.”
“Yes. Miss, I’ve asked around for you just now. Tomorrow, we will have a Dragon Marrow Grass in our store. I wonder if you’re interested?” The servant said with a smile.
Gu Qingxue nodded without hesitation. “Of course I’m interested. When will they arrive tomorrow? Can I make a reservation in advance?”
“Of course. You can pay the deposit first. When the Dragon Marrow Grass arrives, we will reserve it for you. if nothing unexpected happens, the Dragon Marrow Grass should be here by noon tomorrow.” The servant was lying through his teeth. His expression was so serious that no one could tell that he was lying.
“Alright, I’ll come over tomorrow afternoon. this twenty million taels of silver will be my deposit.” As she spoke, Gu Qingxue handed the silver note to the waiter.
“Yes, Miss. please wait for a moment. I’ll go and get the bill for you. ” The
servant stood up and left. After giving Gu Qingxue a receipt for the deposit, he watched Gu Qingxue leave.
Gu Qingxue bought the medicinal herbs she wanted and left in a good mood.
She had just stepped out of the door when she saw a familiar-looking carriage coming from a distance.
The carriage had the Mu family’s flag on it, and Gu Qingxue subconsciously furrowed her brows.
Without another word, Gu Qingxue quickened her pace. After crossing the street, she entered a small alley.
“Eldest Miss Gu?” Mu Chengyao opened the curtain and happened to see Gu Qingxue’s back as she left. he watched as the beautiful figure flashed by and disappeared into the alley. he couldn’t be sure if he had seen it wrong.
After hearing Mu Chengyao’s words, the servant looked curiously in the direction that Mu Chengyao was looking, but he did not see anything. “Young Master, did you make a mistake again?”
Mu Chengyao had been lovesick for the past two days, and whenever he saw a woman who looked a little like Gu Qingxue on the street, he would mistake her for her.
Mu Chengyao was not sure if he had seen it wrong. in the end, he could only sigh helplessly, “Maybe I’m wrong. I can’t help it, I really want to see Eldest Miss Gu. It’s a pity that Eldest Miss Gu is not in the residence, and I have no way to relieve the pain of lovesickness in my heart.”
In fact, Mu Chengyao had already gone to Gu Qingxue’s house just now. He wanted to meet Gu Qingxue and give her a gift to congratulate her on her new home.
However, when Mu Chengyao went to Gu Qingxue’s house, he was stopped outside by the secret guards before he could even enter the door.
Mu Chengyao did not get to see the goddess that he missed so much, so it was reasonable for him to mistake her for someone else.
Just as Mu Chengyao was feeling more and more dejected, a young girl’s joyful voice came from behind him.
“Young Master Mu, what a coincidence, we actually met here.” Gu Lingyue was holding a hot pot in her hands as she strode over, surrounded by her maids.
Mu Chengyao turned his head and met Gu Lingyue’s eyes, which were filled with joy. He was no longer interested in Gu Lingyue.
Previously, he had wanted to get the two sisters of the Gu family at once.
However, ever since he fell in love with Gu Qingxue, the words ‘rouge and common powder’ uncontrollably rose in his mind when he look looked at Gu Lingyue again..
