Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 223 Busy

After Xunfeng returned, he reported the handover with Liu Ruyan to Dugu Xin, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue respectively. When they heard that things were going smoothly, they all looked more happy.

The next morning, before daybreak, Xunfeng went to meet Liu Ruyan and head to the government office. They arrived just in time for the first wave of formalities, successfully transferring the land title to the Yunnan Palace. With that, the matter was finally settled.

As Xunfeng was walking Liu Ruyan back to the shop, he suddenly asked, "Boss Liu, how are your packing going?"

Liu Ruyan's face was filled with joy as she replied with a smile, "Guard Swift Wind, we may have to wait until tomorrow to pack everything up. After all, these are just women and children, so there's definitely a lot of stuff."

Xun Feng nodded slightly, showing his understanding, and then continued, "Okay, if you're done packing, you can send someone to the Yunnan Palace to deliver a message to me, and I will personally take you to the princess's private residence. However, before that, there is something I need to explain to you."

Liu Ruyan felt that since establishing contact with the Yunnan Palace, good things had happened one after another, and she was in an especially good mood. So, she asked expectantly, "I wonder what this time is about?"

Xun Feng answered truthfully, "The truth is, since we don't live in Chang'an all the time, we don't have dedicated staff to look after the mansion. We simply send people to clean and tidy up regularly to ensure that you, the princess, can move in at any time."

Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, "So that's what this is? Is this even a big deal?" She interrupted Xunfeng and said, "Guard Xunfeng, there's no need to trouble you. We're already very grateful for providing us with a place to stay. As for food and cleaning, we can handle it ourselves."

After hearing this, Xunfeng couldn't help but marvel at Liu Ruyan's intelligence. He smiled and said, "It's such a pleasure to communicate with smart people!"

Liu Ruyan also responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Guard Swift Wind!"

Soon after, the two returned to West Market safely. Liu Ruyan expressed her gratitude to Xunfeng, "Thank you, Guard Xunfeng, for bringing me back. I'm sure you're very busy too. Please return quickly!"

After hearing what Liu Ruyan said, Xunfeng no longer insisted and bowed with a smile, saying, "Then, Boss Liu, I'll go back home first." Liu Ruyan waved at him with a smile on her face, and watched Xunfeng walk away before turning around and returning to the shop.

Meanwhile, back at the Yunnan Palace, Liu Jingyue was completely absorbed in the planning and preparation of her shop. She meticulously arranged every corner, carefully planning how to arrange items for both aesthetics and practicality. She also meticulously documented the production methods for various cosmetics, ensuring every detail was perfect. Her days were filled with activity, her mind constantly on the go.

Dugu Jingyao was also entrusted with an important task by Liu Jingyue, but since she knew nothing about these things, she could only ask Liu Jingyue to provide samples for her reference.

So, Dugu Jingyao picked up a pen and carefully wrote the words "confidentiality agreement" on a piece of paper. The reason for such an agreement was that Liu Jingyue brought a modern skill, and if someone else stole it, learned it, and then started their own business to make money, it would be a loss. In addition, Liu Jingyue also drafted a "non-compete agreement" to ensure double protection.

Before starting to write the contract, Dugu Jingyao decided to write a letter to Shen Zhenzhu first, informing her of the situation and asking if this arrangement was possible.

So, she wrote a letter, detailing the current situation. She explained that her father had already returned to Yunnan due to some matters that needed to be attended to, but that she and her sister would return together after completing their duties. She also invited Shen Zhenzhu to accompany them. After writing the letter, she gave it to Shi Jian, asking her to deliver it as soon as possible.

At the same time, Shen Zhenzhu received a letter from Dugu Jingyao. After reading it carefully, she expressed her understanding of Dugu Jingyao's arrangement and immediately replied with a letter.

She asked Shi Jian to rest for a while, then returned to her room and quickly wrote a reply. In it, she expressed her gratitude to Dugu Jingyao and her willingness to wait for them to travel to Yunnan together. At the same time, she humorously reminded Dugu Jingyao that since her host was not in Yunnan, there was no point in her going there, and no one would invite her there.

Dugu Jingyao was very pleased when she received Shen Zhenzhu's reply. She opened the envelope and read every word carefully, a satisfied smile on her face. After reading the letter, she once again devoted herself to writing the contract, concentrating and seriously.

Besides the two men busy with the opening of the business, Dugu Xin was also busy. After all, his two daughters had rarely left his side since they were young. Especially his Yao'er, he even took her to the military camp. In addition, his youngest daughter was still young. Although he had not raised her, she had never been away from home for such an extended period of time. Therefore, Dugu Xin could not help but worry about his two daughters staying in Chang'an.

So he ordered Xunfeng to prepare gifts and go to the Guangping Prince's Mansion and Guo Ziyi's Mansion, asking them to help take care of his two daughters while he was away.

Dugu Xin first went to the Prince of Guangping's Palace. Since he had been busy with court affairs recently, he had no time to visit the Prince of Yunnan's Palace.

Dugu Xin found out in advance that Li Chu had time today, so he went to Prince Guangping's Mansion.

Because Dugu Xin had lived in the Guangping Palace for some time, the servants of the Guangping Palace greeted him respectfully when they saw that it was Dugu Xin who arrived: "This servant pays his respects to the King of Yunnan!"

Dugu Xin nodded slightly, signaling the servant to stand up, and asked, "Is your Highness at home?"

The servant nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, you've come by chance. My prince hasn't entered the palace yet. Please wait in the main hall for a moment. I'll go and report to His Highness!"

After Dugu Xin entered the main hall, he said with a soft "hmm," "Well, you go ahead."

Li Chu also wanted to visit the Palace of the Prince of Yunnan when he had time. When he heard the servant's report, he was very happy and quickly went to the main hall.

Arriving at the main hall door, Li Chu looked out and saw that only Dugu Xin was there. He was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly adjusted himself and walked into the main hall with a smile on his face, saying, "Uncle Dugu is here. I was thinking that since I had time today, I would go to visit you, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Dugu Xin put the tea aside and said, "Chu'er is here. It's okay. I happened to be free today and thought it seemed like I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you."

Li Chu was a little puzzled. Coming to see me? Perhaps he had something to talk to me about? However, he still had a smile on his face: "Haha, that's a coincidence."

Dugu Xin thought about the purpose of his trip and suddenly his face was filled with worry. He looked at Li Chu and asked, "Chu'er, I don't know many people in Chang'an, but I think you are not only my future son-in-law, but also a reliable person, so I have something to ask of you."

After hearing what Dugu Xin said, Li Chu sat up straight and said, "Uncle, you're asking too much. We'll soon be a family. If you have anything to ask, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it!"

Dugu Xin saw Li Chu's confident look and felt quite satisfied. He said, "Actually, it's not a big deal for you. You know I've been away from Yunnan for too long and there are some military matters I need to go back to handle. So I've decided to leave for Yunnan in three days."

Li Chu also keenly realized that Dugu Xin was talking about his own departure back to Yunnan, which meant...

So Li Chu asked, "Aren't Jingyao and Jingyue going back with you?"

Dugu Xin shook his head and said, "This is what I want to tell you. The two of them have some things to do in Chang'an and will be back later, so I hope you can help me protect Yao'er and Yue'er during this period. And on the way back, can you please send some guards to accompany them?"

Li Chu met Dugu Xin's expectant eyes, and his own gaze became firm: "Okay, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely protect Jingyao and Jingyue. If you are worried, when they return, I will personally lead my personal guards to escort them back!"

Dugu Xin thought: This is the effect he wanted. So he put his hand on Li Chu's shoulder and said: "Okay, I trust you! Then I'll leave Yao'er and Yue'er in your care! We can contact you anytime if you need anything."

Li Chu felt that he was entrusted with an important task, and nodded solemnly in agreement: "Yes!"

At Li Chu's repeated request, Dugu Xin had lunch at Prince Guangping's Mansion before returning to Prince Yunnan's Mansion.
