Chapter 44 will always reveal something.

Yunwei understood her meaning and stopped her, saying, "Don't do anything. Those guests are just looking for something new. We shouldn't be influenced by Jin Feng Lou and do anything that would be beneath our dignity and damage our reputation. What we need to do is manage Yi Hong Courtyard well so that our guests feel at home."

"As long as the guests are satisfied, they will naturally choose our Yihong Courtyard again."

Customers who come to places like this are there for nothing more than pleasure. While a beautiful courtesan is certainly attractive, not everyone can embrace her. Whether a brothel can retain customers depends on its operating style.

Their brothel, Yihong Courtyard, has no shortage of beauties, and its food and drinks are superb. As long as they maintain it well and nothing goes wrong, they have no need to worry about losing business.

If you are affected by the slightest move of your opponent, you will not go far.

Liu's mother was somewhat embarrassed, "It was my shortsightedness."

These past few days, because of Jin Feng Lou, business at their Yi Hong Courtyard has decreased somewhat. She was indeed anxious and angry, and had made up her mind to teach Jin Feng Lou a lesson. Now, after listening to her master's words, she realized how unwise her idea was.

Yunwei trusted her abilities; otherwise, she wouldn't have entrusted the Yihong Courtyard to her management in the first place.

However, in recent years, Yihong Courtyard's business has been going smoothly, which is why Liu Mama was anxious when Jin Feng Lou tried to steal her business.

She believed she would adjust in time.

Next, she checked the accounts in the building and, having a clear understanding of the situation, did not linger and returned to the Li family with Tian'er.

The next day.

As soon as Yunwei got up, Tian'er came in to report: "Miss, Aunt Chen and the others have arrived."

Yunwei glanced at the sky outside and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

Especially Chen Yuniang.

Aside from offering tea on the second day after she entered the family, Chen Yuniang never came again.

"I don't know," Tian'er shook her head.

Yun Wei pondered for a moment and then understood what was going on. "Let them in."

When Chen Yuniang and the others entered the room, Yunwei had already tidied up and was sitting in a chair.

"Greetings to Madam." Chen Yuniang and the others stepped forward respectfully and bowed.

Yun Wei nodded. "Please sit down."

Chen Yuniang and the others sat down as instructed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yunwei dismissed Aunt Shen and the others, leaving only Chen Yuniang behind.

Chen Yuniang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "Sister, let me serve you your meal."

Yunwei glanced at her indifferently. Although Chen Yuniang was a concubine, she was proud and arrogant, considering herself superior. It was really unexpected that she would take the initiative to offer to serve her today.

A faint smile played on her lips. "Okay."

Chen Yuniang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she did not refuse, but at the same time, she was full of doubts.

Soon, Tian'er brought in Yunwei's meal with her servants.

Looking at the breakfast spread out on the table, a shadow crossed Chen Yuniang's eyes.

The Yun family is eating so well.

When she went to pay her respects to the old lady, she didn't see such a sumptuous meal on her table.

It seems that the Yun family has made a lot of money over the years while in charge of the household.

No wonder the Shen family is so determined to hold onto their power in managing the household.

Thinking of this, she became even more determined to take control of the family business.

Looking at her shifting eyes, Yunwei knew what she was thinking.

It seems that Chen Yuniang has no idea how poor the Li family is now.

Li Yaoting really kept it a secret.

"Eating this every day is so tiring," Yunwei said, feigning disgust.

Chen Yuniang clenched her handkerchief tightly. Yun Shi had never experienced hunger.

If they had tasted it, they wouldn't have this attitude.

Chen Yuniang couldn't help but recall the dire straits she had when she was exiled to the border, when she was hungry and cold. Compared to the extravagance and waste of the Yun family now, she felt very unbalanced.

Why does Yun, a mere village girl, get to eat so well?
She was inwardly annoyed, but her face remained obsequious. "Sister, you're not well, you should eat more. Which one would you like, sister? I'll get it for you." Yunwei raised her chin and pointed to the crystal dumplings in front of her. "This one."

Chen Yuniang suppressed her anger and helped her put the food into her bowl.

After Yunwei finished eating, she pointed to another dish of steamed buns, "That one."

Chen Yuniang had no choice but to pick up another steamed bun for her.

"I want to eat that..."

"This one……"

After that, Chen Yuniang focused solely on serving food to Yunwei.

By the time she realized what was happening, Yunwei had already finished eating.

Chen Yuniang was filled with rage and hatred.

This Yun family really treats her like a servant.

"Is there anything else?" Yunwei asked, looking puzzled, when she saw Yunwei still standing there.

Chen Yuniang paused for a moment, then forced a smile. "I heard that you went out again last night, so you'd better be careful these days."

"What do you mean? Has something happened?" Yunwei looked completely bewildered.

Chen Yuniang sighed, "Sister, you may not know this, but I've heard that some notorious womanizers have recently infiltrated the city and are kidnapping women. I'm worried that it might be unsafe for you to go out late at night."

"A notorious womanizer?" Yun Wei's eyes flashed.

"Yes." As Chen Yuniang spoke, her gaze subtly swept over her, as if trying to discern something from her face.

Yunwei then feigned fear, saying, "Then I'll stay home for the next few days."

Chen Yuniang frowned slightly.

Did Yun not encounter any danger when she went out in the past two days?

If she had encountered this before, she shouldn't have reacted so calmly.

Most importantly, if she had encountered them, how did she escape unharmed from those people?
She felt something was off when Yun returned from outside the day before yesterday.

Unexpectedly, a corpse appeared out of nowhere in Chunxiang's room last night.

The corpse was the very person Chunxiang had hired to harm the Yun family.

This is so strange. How could that person have died in Chun-hyang's house?

Who put the body in there?
What is the purpose of doing this?
She was shocked and frightened, but she couldn't make a fuss about it, so she had to call her brother to help dispose of the body.

Her brother sent her to the Yun family to investigate, believing that if the Yun family was responsible, something would inevitably come out.

But when she deliberately brought up the flower thief just now, she showed no reaction other than fear.

Could it be that she was mistaken, and it wasn't Yun's doing?
Seeing that she couldn't find anything, Chen Yuniang didn't want to stay any longer. "If you have no other instructions, sister, then I'll take my leave now."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded with a smile.

As soon as Chen Yuniang left, Tian'er asked worriedly, "Is what Chen Yuniang said true? Has a notorious womanizer really infiltrated the city?"

Yun Wei chuckled and said, "That's nonsense. How could a notorious womanizer possibly exist in the capital?"

"Then why did she say that?" Tian'er asked, puzzled.

Yun Wei curled her lips and said, "Naturally, it's because she feels guilty."

Previously, she only had suspicions, but now she is completely certain that the burly men killed by A-Zheng last time were hired by Chen Yuniang.

She simply had Ah-Jung put one of the bodies into Chun-Hyang's house, and that gave them away.

"Huh?" Tian'er was completely confused.

Yunwei didn't explain further, but at this moment, Chen Yuniang's brother was probably already detained by the government.

A playful glint flashed across her face.

As she expected, as soon as Chen Yuniang returned to the courtyard, Chunxiang rushed in anxiously, "Miss, something has happened to the Third Young Master."

"What?" Chen Yuniang stood there stunned.
