The autumn wind was blowing, but it did not affect the bustling and bustling of Jincheng City.

The capital was naturally more prosperous than any other place. There were shops, people coming and going, and the sound of people selling could be heard.

As for Yun Sheng, he did not feel a single thing about the bustling streets. His eyes were only focused on the ship's symbol that symbolized the Hundred Miles Trading Company.

The Baili family had been doing business for generations, and their businesses were spread throughout the north and south of the river. No matter where the towns were, the branch name would be located in the most prosperous district on Commerce Street. It was only because Yun Shengyue did not want to ask others that she walked a few more steps forward.

When she saw the familiar logo of the trading company, Yun Shengyue only hesitated for a moment before walking in. There was a gold and silver building here that specialized in making gold and silver jewelry. When the shop assistant saw Yun Shengyue walk in, he scanned her from head to toe. He could tell that she was a prodigy from her pleated phoenix tailed dress. Although he had some doubts about her coming alone, he revealed an impeccable smile.

"Miss, would you like to add some jewelry?"

Yun Shengyue gave him a glance and said nonchalantly, "Is your owner here?"

In the past, he had disguised himself as a servant and followed Baili Yu on a tour around the city and its nearby shops. Baili Yu had once said with a smile that if she were a man, she would be able to stand up for herself after learning for two years and become one of his best helpers.

"Miss, if you need anything, you can tell this lowly one …"

"Is your owner here?" Yun Sheng continued.

"This …" The shop assistant looked curiously at Yun Shengyue, but seeing her gorgeous clothes, he did not dare to offend her.

"Why are you looking for me, young mistress?" Before Yun Sheng could explain, the curtain behind was lifted and a fair skinned man in a blue robe walked out. Looking at his age, he appeared to be around twenty-five to twenty-six years old. He was extremely composed and did not have the bearing of a merchant.

Sheng Yue sighed in his heart. Baili Yu never had the aura of a merchant. No matter how he looked at it, Baili Yu was an elegant, noble young master.

"May I ask if Young Master Yu has come to Jin Cheng?" The man in front of her had clear eyes and a clear mind. With just a glance, he was clearly a smart person. Therefore, Yun Sheng went straight to the point.

After all, it was very surprising for a single girl to ask if the young master of the Dong Clan was here. However, his surprise only lasted for a moment, before he tactfully asked: "May I know the young lady's name, do you need my young master's help?"

"I... His surname is Yun. " "Three months ago, in the Wind City, Yu Gongzi said that he would be coming to Jincheng soon. There are some things he wanted to bring me, and coincidentally, I came out to buy some things today, so I stopped by to ask if he had arrived."

"So that's how it is. Young master has already left two hours ago. If Miss Yun can wait, you can wait in the inner chamber. If it's not convenient to wait, you can leave a message for Young Master to pass on when he returns."

He's here! He's already here? Sheng Yue's expression changed. Didn't he say that he would meet her the moment he arrived at Jincheng City? He asked anxiously, "Is Young Master here today?"

"Young master has been here for a few days, but he has been busy, so …" The shopkeeper only said half of what he wanted to say before he noticed Yun Shengyue's pale face and hurriedly stopped. With his vast knowledge, he could tell that this Miss Yun probably knew her boss, but he was unsure of the exact relationship.

Yu Gongzi was young and had a gentle temperament. She had always been a beauty, and the young lady in front of him was most likely her young master's confidante.

Yun Sheng's mind went through a hundred twists and turns. "Do you know where Young Master has gone to?"

"This humble one is not sure, but young master always leaves early and returns late. If Miss Yun is not anxious, you can leave a message …"

"Fine." Sheng Lingyue forced a smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Shopkeeper, to tell Young Master Yu that Yun Shengyue has come."

After waiting for the shopkeeper to nod his head in agreement, Sheng Lingyue felt lucky and hurriedly left the Golden and Silver House.

She had originally wanted to wait for Baili Yu here, even if it was dark, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, she felt that she was too agitated and had an indescribable feeling of being wronged and sorrowful.

Since he knew that he was in Jincheng, he would definitely be able to see him. But why was he unwilling to see him?

He hurriedly walked to the side alley and calmed his chaotic mind with great difficulty.

Yun Shengyue looked up at the gray sky. The clouds were somewhat thick, as though there would be a future for rain. He walked to the mouth of the alleyway and looked around. To his right, there was a small three-storey building with extravagant decorations. It should be a restaurant, and from the top of the restaurant, it was easy to see the Baili family's shop.

After a moment of hesitation, he walked towards the restaurant along the calm streets. He then passed by two shops and saw seven to eight people surrounding a small inn. A skinny old man with tattered clothes was lying on the ground.

"Let's go!" It's already our shopkeeper's benevolence not to take your room's money. " A boy who looked like a waiter yelled.

"That's right!" We still have to do business, so don't get us dirty. " The other said.

Initially, she had no intention of meddling in this matter. However, when she saw the pitiful little girl carrying the shopkeeper who was begging for help, she suddenly thought of ten years ago.

If it wasn't for the young master saving her, she and her mother would probably have frozen to death in that snowy place. Thinking about all of this, the resentment she felt just now disappeared. The young master probably had more important things to do.

"Manager, I beg of you, have mercy on me, I'm willing to do anything to repay you!" [I guess there is no other way for me now.]

There was a fat woman sitting at the counter, presumably the shopkeeper's wife. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked like she was about to flare up, so he could only ruthlessly pull her hand and take a few steps back, "Girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm in the store, I can't really help you!"

"Yo, what's going on?!" A vulgar woman dressed in red and green appeared out of nowhere, carefully sizing up the little girl and said, "Aiya, you're really pitiful. Your little face looks pretty delicate and pretty, why are you crying like this? "Tell Mom …"

"You... "Aunty, please do it. My grandpa died of illness and was buried with no money. Cui Er is willing to sell herself. As long as you are willing to bury my grandpa for me, Cui Er is willing to wait for you for me …"

As the woman spoke, she pretended to comfort the little girl with sympathy. There were already people quietly sighing and shaking their heads. The little girl didn't know that the little woman could tell from her appearance that she wasn't a good person.

Yun Sheng Yue had been to many places with Baili Yu, including the flower boat. Seeing this, she understood that the woman must be from the brothel. If the little girl were to go there, she would be doomed for life.

Seeing how the woman helped the girl up while the silly girl's face was still filled with gratitude, Yun Sheng Yue hurriedly walked over to pull the girl up and said, "Cui'er, if you have any difficulties, why didn't you tell the miss and me?"

"You! "Who are you?" The woman wanted to flare up but when she looked up and down, she realized that Yun Sheng's clothes were gorgeous and his face looked cold and inviolable. Her voice immediately quieted down.

Yun Sheng held the girl's hand and looked coldly at the woman. "Cui Er is a servant girl from my Prime Minister's estate. Since something happened in my family, I naturally have to manage it. There's no need for others to worry."

"Cheng... "Prime Minister's residence?" The woman hesitated, wanting to say something.

He took out a silver note and said to the somewhat weak shopkeeper, "There's a hundred taels here. Shopkeeper, please help me settle it down and let the old man rest in peace as soon as possible. If you have enough money, you can take it as a reward.
