Chapter 1548: 1548 Opens Base

"Then for sure we can earn a lot of rent again, and selling it could make money too..."

"It’s not worth it," Su Qingyue said indifferently. "This time, I plan to open my own shop."

"Is it cake, wine or a restaurant?"

"No. I plan to open a brothel, and sell the rouge and face powder that I’ve specially developed alongside it."

Yinzhu’s eyes widened, "Young Lady, you want to open a brothel!"

"Are you that surprised?" A playful smile flickered across Su Qingyue’s lips.

"Decent families don’t open brothels, and besides..." Yinzhu hesitated, "Have you... ever run a brothel before?"

"Haven’t eaten pork, but haven’t you seen pigs run?" She had visited many brothels in the capital these past two nights. They were all vulgarly decorated with traditional singing and dancing. She could create something unique, ensuring a crowd of customers.

"This servant doesn’t understand?" Yinzhu felt her Mistress’s words were profound.

"All you need to know is that the brothel opened by your mistress will do better business than others." The capital housed many high officials, prominent figures, and top merchants; the brothels were places where men were willing to splurge immensely.

Although Yinzhu felt it wasn’t appropriate for a woman to be a brothel boss, the words came to her lips, yet she held back. The Young Lady had her own opinions, and as a servant, it wasn’t her place to say more.

Two days later, a luxurious sedan chair stopped at the door of the Xiao mansion in the capital.

Gongsun Qianru, with the support of her Maid, stepped out of the sedan chair, immediately winning the passersby’s admiration with her beautiful appearance.

"That woman is so beautiful, who is she?" A man stared with wide eyes. Someone who knew said, "The Gongsun Family’s sedan, and so beautiful. Plus, appearing at the Xiao Mansion, it must be Young Lady Gongsun Qianru..."

"Truly deserving of the title ’the most beautiful woman in the world, absolutely stunning...’"

Gongsun Qianru loved being admired, being treasured by men as if she were a goddess, and enjoying the envious, jealous, and hateful looks from other women.

She entered the Xiao Mansion with an air of graceful elegance.

In the hall of the Xiao Mansion, Shen Yun personally greeted her.

Gongsun Qianru gracefully curtsied, "Qianru has seen Lady Xiao."

"We are all family, no need for formalities." Shen Yun affectionately took her hand, "Ru’er, your visit to see Chuan’er shows how thoughtful you are. You don’t have to call me Lady Xiao, you can call me Grandma directly."

Qianru blushed shyly.

"Look at me, you haven’t even married into the family yet, but I’m already so fond of you my future daughter-in-law, I’m getting ahead of myself," Shen Yun said warmly, seeing her not answering.

"Although Qianru can’t say it out loud now, in my heart, I’ve already regarded you as my own mother," she replied.

"Look how sweetly you talk, making my heart melt like it’s filled with honey," Shen Yun laughed heartily. She then glanced at the gift box in the hands of Qianru’s Maid behind her, "You should’ve come by yourself, there was no need for gifts."

"It’s just some supplements. There are two boxes, one is for you and the other for Brother Chuan," said Gongsun Qianru. "I hope Brother Chuan gets well soon."

"Oh, you remembered me as well. You’re so thoughtful, Ru’er." Shen Yun was delighted to be remembered by her future daughter-in-law. "The doctor said that Chuan’er will soon be better. Ru’er, since you’re here, let me take you on a tour around the mansion."

"I would prefer to visit Brother Chuan first," she expressed with a look of concern.

The more Shen Yun looked at her, the more pleased she was, "A well-bred young lady is truly different; you’re much better than that village girl Su Qingyue. Of course, she can’t compare with you."

"Lady Xiao flatters me too much," she demurred.

"You’re just being modest," the older woman replied.
