"I think you'd better shut down that magazine soon to avoid any more troubles," Father Cheng insisted on his idea. After all, in the court today, when his colleagues mentioned this matter, Father Cheng always felt embarrassed.
Moreover, Cheng Xiran's high - profile pursuit of Helian Duo had already become a laughingstock in the capital. Now she had even written those magazine novels. It really made Father Cheng lose face.
"The 'Capital Anecdotes' is no longer entirely up to me. Young Master Xue from Feiyu Mountain Villa holds the majority shares."
Cheng Xiran remained calm. Although it was actually Helian Duo who held the majority shares, due to his status, they had decided to keep it a secret. They always claimed it was Xue Lianyu.
This time, Father Cheng was speechless. He could only heave a heavy sigh. Although Mrs. Liu beside him was reluctant, she couldn't say anything either.
The turmoil in the mansion temporarily subsided. Now with the investment, Cheng Xiran's days became much more leisurely.
Cheng Xiran also took the time to visit the printing house sponsored by Xue Lianyu and couldn't help but marvel at how good it was to be rich.
Since the place to sell magazines and newspapers should be located in the bustling downtown area, Cheng Xiran had been strolling around these days to look for a suitable shop.
Seeing that many common people on the street were holding the 'Capital Anecdotes', Cheng Xiran was in a great mood and even ate a few more bowls of lunch.
Just when Cheng Xiran took a fancy to the Sijiao Tower which was going to be leased out and had just entered to inquire, a charming figure appeared beside her.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Cheng here," said the visitor, who was Xiao Qi that she had met on the street that day.
She was wearing a lake - blue long dress today, looking even more gentle and elegant. There was also a woman standing beside her, looking at Cheng Xiran with disdain.
"Now Miss Cheng is well - known in the capital. People in every street and alley are talking about Miss Cheng," Xiao Qi said.
As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Chu Yaozhuo beside her let out a sneer.
The Sijiao Tower was originally a teahouse. Although the business was not booming, there were still a few tables of customers. Xiao Qi didn't lower her voice deliberately, so what she said was heard by the customers.
A soft murmur arose.
How could Cheng Xiran not hear the sarcasm in Xiao Qi's words? For a girl to be gossiped about after meals, what would happen to her reputation? But Cheng Xiran wasn't angry. She just sized up Xiao Qi from head to toe.
"Is Miss Xiao's foot injury better? When you stopped His Highness the Regent's carriage and asked him to take you back yesterday, it looked quite serious. But today you can walk around freely. Where did you get such a miraculous medicine?"
As she said this, Cheng Xiran even asked Xiao Qi for the formula. Sure enough, Xiao Qi's face suddenly changed.
"Miss Cheng, I know you're in love with His Highness the Regent. But now that you've written that so - called magazine, aren't you just causing trouble for His Highness the Regent?"
Just thinking about the fact that Cheng Xiran had also been in the carriage yesterday, Xiao Qi was extremely angry.
Didn't Helian Duo always turn a blind eye to Cheng Xiran? Why did they suddenly share a carriage?
"Thank you for your kind reminder, Miss Xiao," Cheng Xiran said with a smile, pursing her lips. "But if His Highness the Regent really thought it was troublesome, he would have punished me long ago. You don't have to worry about this, Miss Xiao."
Xiao Qi was rendered speechless by Cheng Xiran. Cheng Xiran was too lazy to waste any more words on them and turned around to find the shopkeeper to discuss. Unexpectedly, Chu Yaozhuo beside Xiao Qi shouted loudly:
"Cheng Xiran, you're really shameless! Writing such immoral things."
Cheng Xiran stopped in her tracks and glanced at Chu Yaozhuo over her shoulder. "I can't bear such a charge. Moreover, if I didn't get the approval of His Highness the Regent, would I dare to write the things in my 'Capital Anecdotes'?"
Now that Helian Duo had bought shares in her 'Capital Anecdotes', she could use the shield of the Regent whenever she wanted.
After saying that, Cheng Xiran walked away without looking back, leaving Chu Yaozhuo hopping mad there.
