Song and Ning Zilan got more and more angry when they returned to Huiyue Pavilion.

Seeing the box of gifts brought in by her servants, Ning Zilan shouted in disgust and asked someone to carry it away and throw it away.

Mrs. Song stopped her and advised cautiously: "Lan'er, the status of these two siblings is different now. We can't make it too obvious. Even if we don't want this gift, we must accept it."

Ning Zilan looked angry: "Mother, what should I do about Qi Langjun? Didn't you hear that your eldest brother mentioned that he was going to invite him to the Marquis Mansion to discuss the marriage with that bitch Ning Ziqing? Now that she has obtained the Fu family's property, she is even more She is so arrogant, what qualifications do I have to compete with her for the title of Qi Langjun."

Ning Zilan sobbed sadly as she spoke, her eyes full of hatred.

Mrs. Song held her in her arms and comforted her: "Let mother think of a solution."

Ning Zilan said angrily:

"But what else can we do? Look at eldest brother's attitude towards us. It seems that he knows that we have bullied Ning Ziqing these years. Mother, he will definitely not let us go."

Ning Zilan's worries were not unreasonable. Mrs. Song clearly sensed Ning Zijun's hostility towards their mother and daughter.

Remembering that he had instigated the relationship between Ning Zijun and Lord Ning, he ran away to the north in anger.

In addition, he knew about his harsh treatment of Ning Ziqing over the years.

He must hate himself.

Song's eyes became cold, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "Don't be afraid Lan'er, I will go back to the Song Mansion tomorrow. I will never let those two lowly little hooves bully us. Their biological mother is no more than She is the daughter of a lowly merchant, what qualifications do she have to be higher than us?"

Hearing this, Ning Zilan finally felt relieved, with a sinister smile on her lips.

Early the next morning, Ning Zijun entered the palace wearing court clothes to meet the Holy Spirit.

Ning Ziqing originally planned to sleep in, but after traveling for days and angry with Ning Zijun, she didn't sleep well along the way.

As a result, he was sleeping comfortably when he was pulled up by Yaoyao.

Ning Ziqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Yaoyao displeased:

"What are you doing, please let me sleep a little longer?"

Yaoyao raised her eyebrows: "Who said last night that he would take me to the Sifang Building to have fun today? What? He regretted it?"

Ning Ziqing thought about it and realized that something like this had happened. He quickly sat up and yawned twice, calling Yinxiang to help her wash and change clothes.

About half an hour later, after breakfast, the master and servant asked the boy to hitch the carriage and set off for Sifanglou.

The sun is shining brightly today and everything is suitable.

Ning Ziqing was in a particularly happy mood. She lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out at the bustling streets, which were bustling.

I secretly lamented that Kyoto is better.

When they arrived at Sifanglou, the three of them got off the carriage and walked inside.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, the guests drinking morning tea and breakfast all turned their attention to them.

"Isn't this the third lady of Ninghou Mansion? She is back?"

"The third lady is getting more and more beautiful."

"No matter how good-looking it is, it won't be your fault. It is said that Shichiro-kun also returned to Kyoto yesterday."

"It's such a pity that such a stunning woman, who is so charming to the whole country, has already been married."

Some young masters in the hall were talking quietly, and Yaoyao was so angry that she wanted to teach them a lesson.

Ning Ziqing raised his eyebrows to stop her: "Yaoyao, control yourself. The Sifang Building will be ours from now on. These people come here to spend money. How will you make money after they are beaten away?"

Yaoyao calmed down her temper, said "oh" obediently, and called the waiter to ask the shopkeeper to come out.

The guests in the lobby were surprised to see the three people standing in front of the counter, chatting and laughing, and did not sit down to order.

At this moment, Qi Chengze, the second son of the Duke of Qi, and several young masters from aristocratic families walked into the Sifang Building.

They were a little surprised to find Ning Ziqing here.

Qi Chengze glanced in the direction of the counter, then calmly asked the people behind him to go to the private room upstairs.

One of the young masters stopped them and snorted: "Second Young Master Qi, why are you avoiding her? Are you afraid that she will eat us?"

His ridicule made everyone present except Qi Chengze laugh loudly.

Their voices attracted everyone in the hall to look this way.

The young man even looked at Ning Ziqing with disdain and teased: "Miss Third, why do you have time to come to Sifanglou for entertainment today? I heard that Mr. Qi Lang has returned to Kyoto. You are not at home to get married, so you come to such an eye-catching place." Is it pitiable?"

These words were so vicious that the hall immediately exploded, and everyone began to whisper and talk among themselves. There were even more contemptuous, mocking, playful looks and unpleasant words floating around.

Ning Ziqing glanced coldly at the young master who spoke, but did not respond.

Yaoyao and Yinxiang were furious and wanted to argue with the man, but Ning Ziqing stopped them with a look.

Seeing this, the vicious young master went even further: "Third Miss, how valuable is it to eat in this Sifanglou? I wonder if your mother's monthly allowance is enough for you this month? If you are short of money, we don't mind Third Miss accompanying us. Let us I’ll treat you to a meal.”

After saying that, there was another burst of malicious laughter, and even Qi Chengze couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"Shut up, you are not allowed to say that about our young lady!" Yinxiang cursed loudly.

"What qualifications do you have to speak out? Your master hasn't spoken yet!" the young master replied contemptuously.

"You..." Yinxiang became angry and wanted to rush over to accuse, but Yaoyao stopped her.

"Yinxiang, why bother being like a dog? You're not afraid of dirtying your mouth!" Ning Ziqing glanced at those people lightly and said again:

"It seems that this Sifang Building should establish a rule. From now on, people who are rude, talk arrogantly, and bark like dogs are not allowed to come in. They are off-putting and affect appetite!"

"That's what the lady said." Yinxiang responded happily.

The hall was filled with sighs for a moment, and the scolding young master turned black at Ning Ziqing's words.

"Ning Ziqing, don't talk so shamelessly here. Who do you think you are? You didn't run this Sifang Building, and you still set the rules. Aren't you ashamed?"

Seeing the young master yelling angrily, Ning Ziqing didn't take it seriously and instead chuckled.

Yaoyao and Yinxiang looked at each other and smiled even more proudly.

Everyone didn't know why, and they were confused that the three masters and servants could still laugh.

At this time, Shopkeeper Hao from Sifanglou rushed over and was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

He walked up to Ning Ziqing and asked, "May I ask what the third lady is looking for?"

Ning Ziqing looked around at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was about forty years old, of medium build, well-dressed, well-maintained, and had a steady demeanor, giving him a feeling of reliability and trustworthiness.

Ning Ziqing nodded and replied: "Shop Manager Hao, I am here to take over the Sifang Building today. From now on, this place will become part of my family property."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned and stared at Ning Ziqing in disbelief.

Yinxiang on the side took out the document and handed it to Shopkeeper Hao. Shopkeeper Hao took it and read it carefully.

"What's going on? Ning Ziqing...she just said that the Sifang Building is her family property?"

The young master who cursed asked in shock, and Qi Chengze and others could not believe it.

After a while, shopkeeper Hao put away the documents, took a half step back and bowed respectfully to Ning Ziqing: "I have met my boss, and there are still some procedures for the handover. Please follow me to the elegant hall to have a cup of tea and sit down for a while."

Ning Ziqing nodded in agreement.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone stared blankly at Ning Ziqing's back.

Ning Ziqing had just taken a few steps when she suddenly stepped forward and said, "We'll close today. The fees for these guests will be waived. Treat them as my lady's treat. Please leave as soon as possible."

"I understand." Shopkeeper Hao waved his hand, and several waiters went to the table to explain and urge the guests to leave.

Qi Chengze and the others looked at each other in shock. Before they could react, a waiter came to them and asked them to get out.

"What on earth is going on? If I don't explain it to you, I won't leave. Why won't Sifang Building open its doors to welcome guests just because of Ning Ziqing's words?"

Seeing that the young master still wanted to mess around, Ning Ziqing gave Yaoyao a wink.

Yaoyao came out understandingly and explained to everyone: "The third lady is the cousin of the Fu family in Cangzhou. Now the Fu family has distributed half of the family property to the third lady and the prince. The Sifang Building in Kyoto was originally the property of the Fu family, and now the third lady has inherited it. Of our family property, this Sifang Building naturally belongs to Miss Third. Do you still have any objections?"

Yaoyao crossed her arms on her chest and glanced around the hall with a ferocious expression.

People in the hall got up and left the Sifang Building quickly.

Finally, Yaoyao glanced at Qi Chengze and the others with sharp eyes, scaring them so much that they immediately retreated.
