Qin Yining forced a smile as he comforted Master Zhong, "Don't worry, and don't get angry. We are managers who have experienced great storms. What kind of situation have we not seen? It's not important if we discover that something is wrong. We just have to solve the problem. It's not so complicated. "
She was the mistress. She could not panic when encountering a problem. Pang Xiao was not by her side right now. Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, and the other aides had gone with Pang Xiao to the military camp. She was the only one who could make decisions here. She warned herself not to have any negative emotions that would cause her to lose her cool. The best way to solve a problem was to deal with it calmly.
But Master Zhong was not as open-minded as Qin Yining.
"Boss, you're right. But Head Shopkeeper Xia is being too unreasonable. You had ordered them to send the news immediately. Not only did they not listen, they did not discuss with us when something happened. They are treating us as outsiders! "
The more Master Zhong spoke, the angrier he became. If it wasn't for the fear of scaring the two children next door, he would have flown into a rage.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no use in getting angry. We should figure out what happened to cause Head Shopkeeper Xia to be so abnormal."
Master Zhong saw that Qin Yining was so calm. His anger eased. Thinking back to his appearance just now, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He was already so old, but he was not as calm as a young girl. In the past, Qin Yining had easily saved Miss Tang from Ning Wang's hands and saved him from the fate of being sacrificed. Now that she was a mother, she was still the same as before. No one doubted her.
"Wang Fei … I was too agitated just now. Wang Fei, please do not blame me." Master Zhong stood and bowed apologetically.
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand, "You were defending me. How can I blame you?"
Master Zhong smiled emotionally. Thinking of Head Shopkeeper Xia's actions, he couldn't help but say worriedly, "I'm just afraid that Head Shopkeeper Xia will ally with the local people to harm Wang Ye and Wang Fei."
Qin Yining nodded and said, "I am also worried about this."
Gathering the cloak around his shoulders, Qin Yining said helplessly, "This is inevitable. We were all Yan people in the past and can understand this.. Back then, even though the fatuous emperor was extremely ridiculous, and everyone wished that the fatuous emperor could die as soon as possible, so that the mountains and rivers could be cleansed, no one thought of quitting being a citizen of the Yan Dynasty.
"His Highness was the one who conquered the Great Yan Dynasty at that time. He overcame all difficulties and killed his way to the capital city. He defeated the flag in the hearts of the people of Yan Dynasty – Prince Ning. Then, he brought his army to the city and confronted him. Even though he never massacred anyone in the city, and never allowed his men to rape and pillage, everyone's fear of him was deeply rooted. Plus, when the capital city was besieged, there was a famine in the city."
"That's the reason." Master Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I have also discovered this. Wang Ye has always been forced to take the blame. It is most likely the same now. "
"Yes." Qin Yining sighed and said, "It is fine that we know this. Wang Ye is not a stupid person. He will take care of the matters on his side. What you and I need to do is to solve all the problems on our own when Wang Ye has no time to care about other matters. It is best if we do not disturb the situation here. "
"Then next, I will make a trip to Shopkeeper Xia's residence and ask that old fellow in detail."
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "That is not appropriate. It is best to observe in secret. When the time comes …"
"Wangfei." Qin Yining's words were interrupted by Ji Yun who suddenly came to reply, "There is a shopkeeper outside. He says he is one of Shopkeeper Xia's subordinates and has come to report to you."
Hearing this, Qin Yining and Master Zhong looked at each other in surprise.
Master Zhong smiled coldly and said, "I did not expect him to understand. That way, we won't have to waste twice the effort to do it. "
Qin Yining also nodded.
In her heart, she really hoped that Shopkeeper Xia was not a traitor. Therefore, Qin Yining's attitude towards the person who came to report was somewhat anxious.
The sound of footsteps came from outside. Master Zhong immediately stood up and lowered his posture in front of Qin Yining. He stood with his head bowed as he replied.
Qin Yining knew that Master Zhong wanted to establish her authority in front of outsiders, so she did not stop him.
Not long later, the warm curtains were lifted and a young man who had not yet reached twenty walked in.
He was wearing a cotton jacket with narrow sleeves and a black sheepskin vest. His clothes were new. Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he had not gotten used to this style of dressing.
Seeing Qin Yining, he did not even dare raise his head. He lowered his head and knelt to greet her.
"This lowly one, Lu Da Shun, greets Wangfei."
"Please rise. There is no need to be so courteous." Qin Yining ordered for tea to be served. She then said to Master Zhong: "You should also sit. Let's all sit down and talk."
"Yes, many thanks Wangfei."
Master Zhong cooperated and sat down in his previous position. He only dared to sit to the side.
Lu Da Shun saw that even Master Zhong, who was dressed in silk and looked very dignified, was so careful. He also copied Master Zhong and sat down sideways.
Qin Yining asked: "Have you come here to report something?"
"Replying to you, it was head shopkeeper Xia who sent me. Head shopkeeper Xia's body is not well and it is not convenient for him to come out. He was also worried that Wangfei might not understand some things. Thus, he gave me some instructions and I came. If Wangfei has any questions, please ask. "
"What a joke." Master Zhong sneered and scolded: "Wangfei's status is high and you are our boss. What is the meaning of sending a brat like you? Could it be that the one surnamed Xia wants to betray Master? "
"No, no, no. Head shopkeeper Xia did not …" Lu Da Shun was an honest person. After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Head shopkeeper Xia did not betray Master. Perhaps he has been too busy recently."
Qin Yining looked Lu Da Shun up and down. He thought to himself that this was an honest person. Honest people should not be bullied.
After he made up his mind, Qin Yining said: "Alright, I don't want to make things difficult for you. I will ask you a few questions. You only need to answer truthfully. You may return to report. "
"Yes!" Lu Da Shun replied with his head lowered. His voice sounded a little high-spirited.
Qin Yining smiled and asked: "Is the situation in the old capital still stable?"
Lu Da Shun did not expect Qin Yining to not ask about business. Lu Da Shun's expression turned cold. He immediately replied: "The old capital was originally fine. Everyone has already accepted their fate. Natural and man-made disasters are unavoidable for the common people. However, ever since the County King of Yan and Old Master Gu returned, the common people's hearts have become more lively. "
When Lu Da Shun said this, he remembered that Qin Yining was Pang Xiao's wife. Pang Xiao was Wang Ye of the Zhou Dynasty. He was the person who destroyed the Yan dynasty. Qin Yining would definitely tell Pang Xiao about this.
When Lu Da Shun realized this, his face turned pale. He said nervously: "I was wrong. Actually, the common people are fine. They are not overthinking things."
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes.
