Triplets: Lucky Mommy Is A Beautiful Badass Chapter 178 - The Richest Man in Northern Liang 2

Chapter 178: The Richest Man in Northern Liang 2

The attendant asked, “My master owes you money? Please give me the IOU and I’ll settle it at once.”

Qi Qingyao blinked and scratched her head. “There’s no IOU.”

“Then how is there a debt?” the attendant asked inexplicably.

Just as the attendant was about to ask Qi Qingyao to leave, a pleasant male voice sounded from inside the room.

“Please ask the lady to come in.”

Qi Qingyao sauntered into the room after pus.h.i.+ng the attendant who was blocking the door aside, eager to settle the score as soon as possible.

A censer of pleasant-smelling sandalwood was burning in the room.

The scent was so heavy it filled the entire room.

Hmm.

‘This is someone who really knows how to enjoy life.

‘They were just living in this inn…’

She rounded the screen.

“Alright, you…”

Just as Qi Qingyao was about to begin her interrogation, she saw the man sitting on the arhat bed, leaning against the satin backrest with his back on the pillow. His black hair hung like black silk, his entire being in a languid recline.

A particularly chubby white cat was laying in his arms. It looked like a lazy thing and somewhat fat. Its left ear was indeed golden and very special.

There were a few white agate dishes wound with silk on the small clay-stove table beside him. There were fried noodles and chicken rolls, deep-fried dough, crab and tofu skin buns, and cotton cake made with lotus root.

Looking at it was enough to whet one’s appet.i.te.

This was not yet over.

On top of the multicolored table outlined with gold on the side was a golden plate, a white jade bowl, an amber cup, and a glazed cup… a dazzling brocade dotted with green jade and inlaid with gold.

Qi Qingyao’s eyes were almost blinded.

There were all kinds of steamed and fluffy honey treats, a delicacy of bear paw, rare fruit b.u.t.ter, seaweed steamed with pears, and high-quality wine was also prepared.

The smell of sandalwood along with the delicious food left Qi Qingyao completely at a loss of where to look.

‘Eh.

‘That bed.

‘It’s mahogany!

‘And the chairs are made of golden phoebe zhennan wood.

‘F*ck.

‘These are expensive.

‘Hold on a minute, since when was the window replaced with a calabash window?

‘Weren’t all the windows of the inn made of kraft paper soaked in tung oil?

‘d.a.m.ned rich man!’

After wasting a couple of minutes staring, she eventually moved her gaze from the pile of expensive playthings to the man’s face. Her first impression was that the person should be a guy. However, his eyes were as beautiful as the flowers of spring! No wonder the servant had thought that he was a woman.

He was disgustingly beautiful.

Qi Qingyao gulped. “My lord, you are… insanely handsome!” She almost called him beautiful!

She did not wait for him to reply before saying again, “In which village and from which individuals did you get your hair styled? It’s just too pretty.”

Lu Yan frowned. Looking at the empty-headed woman, he spat, “If you have something to say, spill.”

“You are the cat hugger who bought all my medicinal herbs last night, aren’t you?” Qi Qingyao asked in a calm and composed manner as she hugged her arms and reinforced her imposing manner.

“Oh?” How interesting—he had not expected that person to be a little lady! A beautiful one at that.

“You probably knew that I sold them short yesterday night, didn’t you?” Qi Qingyao asked evenly.

“I don’t know you.” Lu Yan narrowed his brows lightly.

Fl.u.s.tered and exasperated, Qi Qingyao exclaimed, “…You! You’re lying through your teeth!”

The attendant approached and said, “Miss, my master is the young master of the Senluo Chamber of Commerce, why would this be a lie? We weren’t lying when we said we have never met you. One, you don’t have an IOU. Two, you have no proof of the load. You insist that the master owes you money but you’re actually the one lying through their teeth. If you continue to spout nonsense, I will have the officers arrest you.”

“…”

‘Fine.

‘I’ll let you have this victory.’

Qi Qingyao knew that she would probably not get the money even if she asked for it today. The ghost market was just like a bank—”We hold no responsibility beyond the counter”. Not to mention, everyone had donned the koi illusory last night so there was no way to identify who the opposite party was.

The ghost market… made her want to punch someone.

She went there for the first time, without any experience!

Falling victim to the scam was on her for not being familiar with the rules.

She could only accept the situation.
