TFWYH – Chapter 267 Ling Yue’s Heart Flutters

Tang Wan frowned, but still nodded. “Mm.”

Ji Wushuang smiled. “Then, next time we meet, may we spar a bit?”

“Sure!” (I’ll beat you until even your mother won’t recognize you!)

“Then… until we meet again.” Ji Wushuang took a long, deep look at her, raised his riding crop, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Tang Wan turned back toward the house, only to see Ling Yue hiding by the doorway, gazing in the direction Ji Wushuang had gone with a lovestruck expression.

Tang Wan: “…What are you doing?”

Ling Yue cupped her face in both hands, eyes shimmering with infatuation.
“Sister-in-law, he’s so handsome—just as handsome as big brother!”

“Nonsense!” Tang Wan objected at once. “How could he be as good-looking as my husband!”

Ling Yue said, “Oh, they’re two different types. If big brother is an otherworldly, untouchable immortal, then he’s a young general forged in steel and war.”

Tang Wan fell silent for a moment, then asked in disbelief,
“So… with a god right there, you’d choose to sleep with a mere human? What are you thinking?”

Ling Yue: …

I must be crazy to discuss this kind of thing with sister-in-law!

“If you sleep with a god, you’re a fairy. If you sleep with a human, you’re still just a human. He’s not as good as your big brother—don’t talk nonsense like that again!” Tang Wan concluded unilaterally. She patted Ling Yue on the shoulder, gave her eyes a once-over, and then stepped into the house.

Ling Yue: …—

With Ling Yu not around, Tang Wan still had plenty to keep her busy.

Every day, aside from staying in the lab mixing facial masks and skincare products, she was constantly running around outside.

She had completely gone on strike at the roasting shed and handed it over to Jiang-shi.

Ling Yue continued to busy herself with renovating the estate.

Jiang-shi was puzzled about what Tang Wan was occupied with day after day. Tang Wan didn’t explain much, only saying that Qíngyuàn Elegant House had reached its accounting period and she was rather busy.

That reason easily convinced Jiang-shi, who stopped asking further questions.

In reality…

Tang Wan had been busy with something else these days.

The Flower Street was quiet during the day, far less lively than at night.

Tang Wan disguised herself and entered through the back door.

At this moment, on the fourth floor, Aunt Hong and her daughter hadn’t gone to sleep either. They were tallying the day’s earnings.

As she counted, Aunt Hong laughed. “Wan’er really has ideas. I never knew a brothel could be run like this. You have no idea—seeing how well our place is doing, the madam next door at Qunfang Pavilion is so furious her nose is practically crooked. She’s been throwing shade at me all day—so annoying!”

Yuan’er smiled at her. “Mother, don’t lower yourself to her level. Our goal isn’t just to make money—we also need to help Young Master Yu. How are those few people I asked you to buy last time?”

Aunt Hong nodded. “They’re quite good. They’re staying in the courtyard I rented—every one of them is capable. It really must have been hard on Young Master Yu to find so many skilled people.”

At this point, Aunt Hong sighed again. “Young Master Yu said that Wan’er would need these people in the future—but when will that be? How about we take the initiative and tell Wan’er about this?”

Yuan’er frowned, feeling conflicted for a moment.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Tang Wan’s voice came from outside.

“Wan’er’s here!” Yuan’er’s eyes lit up. She immediately stopped counting the money and ran to open the door.

Aunt Hong watched her retreating figure and smiled helplessly.

How could she not know her daughter’s feelings? But… Wan’er was a woman, and already married.

All she could hope was that her daughter’s feelings were just a passing fancy.

Soon, Tang Wan followed Yuan’er inside. Aunt Hong had already composed herself and stepped forward with a smile.
“You’ve finally come. This month’s profits are already calculated—if you hadn’t come soon, I was going to go invite you myself.”
