Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 67 Relationship between Man and Woman
Xiao Wang and Li Chengge had no choice but to leave, leaving only Yan Ciwan and Yun Niang in the room.

Yunniang asked Yan Ciwan to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of hot tea.

"I don't have any good tea here, so please make do with what you have."

Yan Ciwan said bluntly: "I didn't come here to drink tea."

"I know you are here to ask me about Master Qi." Yun Niang leaned back with a smile on her face and a lazy posture. "I didn't lie to you. I have only met Master Qi twice. The first time was ten days ago. He came to Xueyue Tower to drink. Hua Niang, who was familiar with him, happened to be sick and couldn't receive guests. The people of Xueyue Tower asked me to take over temporarily. The second time was today. You also saw the situation in Shuiyunjian today. I was just a servant. Master Qi would not tell me important things."

Yunniang’s attitude is very clear: her abilities are limited, so don’t hold too high hopes on her.

Yan Ciwan had expected this. People like Qi Ming were used to being high and mighty. To him, Hua Niang like Yun Niang was like an ant at his feet. He would not take an ant seriously, let alone let an ant know his true thoughts.

"I just want to know two things. First, what is the full name of the nominal owner of Xueyue Tower? Second, what are Qi Ming's relationships like?"

Seeing that what Yan Ciwan asked was not some shameful secret, Yunniang felt a little relieved and answered truthfully.

"I only know that the boss's surname is He, but I don't know his specific name. Everyone calls him Shopkeeper He. He occasionally shows up at Xueyue Tower. I heard that Shopkeeper He has a good relationship with the Changming Chamber of Commerce because the most famous Yu Fuchun in Xueyue Tower comes from the Changming Chamber of Commerce."

"As for Qi Ming's relationships with women... Heh, he has always been open to beautiful women. Every time he comes to Xueyue Tower, he is accompanied by a famous prostitute. All the prostitutes on our street who are a little bit pretty have accompanied him."

Yan Ciwan asked directly the point: "Have you ever slept with him?"

Yunniang didn't expect that she would ask such a blunt question. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "I am willing to sleep with him. I'm sure he will give me a lot of money. It's a pity that he doesn't like me."

All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and Yan Ciwan stood up and said goodbye.

Yunniang stood up to see him off. She leaned lazily against the door frame and gently waved her round fan. Today she made easy money. Just a few simple words could earn her a silver ingot. It was much easier than serving those stinky men. She said goodbye with a smile.

"If there is such a good opportunity to make money in the future, remember to come to me again."

Yan Ciwan felt heartbroken when he thought of the silver he had given away.

Poverty was like a mountain pressing on her shoulders, making her steps heavy.

Xiao Wang and Li Chengge, who were drinking tea and admiring flowers in the courtyard, saw her coming out. Li Chengge asked in surprise, "Why do you look like this? Could it be that Yunniang took the money but refused to acknowledge it and refused to cooperate with your questioning?"

Yan Ciwan sighed: "No, she told me everything she knew."

"Isn't that good? Why are you still looking so sad?"

Yan Ci Wan rubbed her face and cheered herself up. She couldn't be so useless. It was just a silver ingot. She could spend it and earn it back later!

"Let's get out of here first."

The three of them left the hospital, and Uncle Jiu, who was driving, asked them where they were going next?

Yan Ciwan said that he wanted to go to the government office again.

Li Chengge immediately became unhappy. He went to the government office yesterday and again this morning. Now he has to go again. It’s really annoying!
"You guys go ahead. I want to go back to the official inn to sleep."

Yan Ciwan did not force him and let him take Cha Bingliang away.

Xiao Wang didn't mind accompanying Yan Ciwan to the government office again, but Yan Ciwan wanted him to go back to the palace first because she had something to ask for.

"I saw mud on the edge of Madam Chao's shoes this morning. Since I could notice this abnormality, Chao Yuanzhi must have noticed it as well. He might have known that Madam Chao sneaked out last night. I threatened Chao Yuanzhi, saying that I would visit Madam Chao again. He probably wouldn't do anything to Madam Chao for the time being, but Luhua who was following Madam Chao might not be safe. I didn't see Luhua in the Chao Mansion this morning. I'm afraid something might have happened to her. Please help find her and try to keep her safe." Xiao Wang agreed to her request, but he wanted to keep Uncle Jiu to protect her safety.

Yan Ciwan said no.

"Just let Uncle Jiu continue to follow you. I can protect myself, so you don't have to worry about me."

She is very good at martial arts, and even if she is injured, ordinary people are no match for her.

Although Xiao Wang looked healthy, he was actually poisoned by Luo Xian Weng and had to take drugs every day, so his body was much weaker than hers. Not to mention Liu, who was still sick and trapped in Taoranju without any help.

Both of them need protection more than Yan Ciwan.

Xiao Wang could only take a step back: "At least let us take you to the government office."

Yan Ciwan had no carriage, so if she wanted to go to the government office she could only walk there, which would take a lot of time, so she accepted the other party's kindness.

The two of them got into the carriage, driven by Uncle Jiu, and headed towards the government office.

In the car, Xiao Wang asked Yan Ciwan's purpose of going to the government office.

"I want to ask him about Qi Ming and Xueyue Tower."

Xiao Wang looked at her: "Do you still doubt Qi Ming?"

"I know Chao Erniang's disappearance has nothing to do with him, but I think he has other secrets."

Xiao Wang's eyes were dark and gloomy: "Is the secret you mentioned related to the serial rape and murder case?"

Yan Ciwan sighed: "It's just a suspicion, but there is no real evidence."

"Just now in Xueyue Tower, you deliberately provoked Qi Ming and Chao Yue. You wanted them to make you their next target, right?"

Yan Ciwan did have this idea, and when Xiao Wang pointed it out, she smiled and praised it.

"You guessed it all. You are worthy of being the sixth son of the Xiao family. You are so smart."

Xiao Wang frowned and disagreed: "You are taking too much risk!"

Yan Ciwan knew that what she was doing was not a good thing to do. After all, her life was related to his life. Even if she didn’t think about herself, she had to think about him.

She corrected herself readily: "I now have another way of investigating the case. I will not put myself in danger again. Don't worry."

Xiao Wang asked: "What is your new idea?"

"I suspect that Changming Chamber of Commerce and Qi Ming are secretly colluding. I plan to investigate Changming Chamber of Commerce."

When Xiao Wang was traveling around, he had heard of the Changming Chamber of Commerce, which was one of the three most powerful chambers of commerce in Daye. It mainly dealt in jewelry, medicinal materials, and wine businesses, and its industries were spread all over the country.

He said sternly, "Qi Ming is the only son of Governor Qi. If Qi Ming secretly colluded with the Changming Chamber of Commerce, Governor Qi could not be completely unaware of it. I'm afraid you will return empty-handed if you go to the government office this time."

Yan Ciwan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. There are so many people in the government office. Maybe there will be a few stubborn ones who are willing to reveal the truth to me."
