CHAPTER 319: Huang jian (2)

"ahem, master we are almost out of the stocks, I'm worried that we only have a few months' worth of inventory left. Thankfully, mo ling has been contributing a lot of materials for our trading business. As for the restaurants, tea houses, and tailoring shop it's doing better than expected. I also opened a medicinal shop but our pill qualities are too low since we don't have princess huang xin and elder ye lian hua's medicinal pills." Lady shan shou explained further.

"alright, let feng chen handle that matter. He already knows how to contact the ming clan" yu yue said after thinking it through. She also handed feng chen several storage rings with rare materials for elder ye lian hua.

"zi'er would you like to go to the academy with me?" yu yue asked the quiet shui xian zi.

"I would like to stay and help with hua ling" she replied after giving it some thought.

"okay, just tell me if you need anything." Yu yue agreed after hesitating, she really takes special care for this quiet princess because she literally took her away from her father.

"big sister, Can I stay to help sister shan shan and auntie shan shou?" cheng shi asked nervously.

"hmm, go ahead" yu yue smiled.

"master, I also want to stay and help lady mo ling" chang wen insisted, he was envious seeing the mercenary team's improvement, he knows that yu yue would be fine with sheng shi jie, fatty and the others so he wants to improve his strenght more than anything else.

"alright, you go ahead. Mo ling take care of him" yu yue smiled, she could tell chang wen's thoughts so she didn't mind at all.

"by the way feng chen, how was the ming residence in the capital? Is it destroyed?" yu yue asked calmly.

"this… well the ming residence was still there, however the mansion was destroyed and the courtyards are in a dilapidated state." feng chen spoke after some hesitation, he thought yu yue would be angry but she already expected as much.

"oh, I thought so. Tian shi, here's the deed for the ming residence. I want you to rebuild it so take little five with you and the rest of the white army except for the four silver mask holders and yu ling since they have to continue their tasks."

"Yes master" tian shi accepted the task gracefully, far from her subservient self before.

"prince huang jian, can I trust you to do something?" yu yue asked humbly.

"since my sister recognize you as her master, it is only natural that you should also be my master so please order me as you please" he smiled politely as he bowed with excitement as he pledge an oath of loyalty which greatly shocks yu yue. He's been following them, although he never said anything he actually helps a lot and acts more like yu yue's subordinate.

"w-well, you don't have to do that..." yu yue was speechless. The others ddin't think much of it, they all thought it's only right and natural. Specially huang xin, she's the happiest of them all because her brother finally did what he always wanted to do in his heart.

"It is what I should do long time ago" he still remembered her saving grace, he always wanted to do this but he never found the right time. She's surrounded with capable people and he couldn't find a place for him to squeezed.
