"I've only been away from the Capital for just over three years." Duan Yunfei glanced sideways at the shopkeeper and said, "Some people can't wait to take over our business at the Yongning Manor."
"No, no, it's not my fault!" the shopkeeper said tremblingly, "It was Young Master Luo who sent me. I don't know anything!"
As he spoke, he quickly bypassed the counter, rushed to kneel in front of Duan Yunfei, and repeatedly begged, "Young Master Duan, spare me. I really don't know anything. Please, spare me!"
The other staff, seeing this, also knelt down to plead for mercy.
Shen Qinglan, Song Ting, and Lan Ruo stood by without saying a word.
Shangguan Ruyan, on the other hand, stood with her people watching the spectacle.
But her eyes occasionally glanced towards the three of them.
Duan Yunfei looked coldly at the shopkeeper and asked, "Tell me, how long have you been managing this shop?"
"Not, not long!" the shopkeeper replied, "Only about three months!"
