Chapter 576 The Prince Will Not Let Lu Shaoyuan Go?

Shen Ningning picked a free day to go to see Lu Shaoyuan.

But he was extremely busy. In order to get married and take on the responsibility of a family, he took over a lot of his own business from Madam Meng.

I heard from the people in the Lu family that he was very busy recently and only came back to live in the mansion occasionally. He usually lived in his own bank.

The shopkeepers who came to discuss business nearby, some in charge of silk, some in charge of jade, and all kinds of Madam Meng’s business, now all went to discuss with the young master Lu Shaoyuan.

Shen Ningning wanted to see him, but she didn’t send someone to tell him in advance, so she planned to try her luck in the bank.

As soon as she walked into the bank, a waiter came to greet her: "Are you depositing or withdrawing money? If it is a silver note, it must have a government seal."

Shen Ningning was dressed decently, dignified and generous. At this time, she smiled slightly: "I want to find your young master Lu Er, I wonder if he is here?"

She didn't say her name because she was afraid that Lu Shaoyuan was busy with important things.

The waiter was startled and looked at her twice: "Are you here to discuss business with the young master? Please follow me."

Shen Ningning followed him, bypassed the front hall, and went to the two-story building in the backyard. There were guards with superb skills. The waiter simply explained his identity and took Shen Ningning in.

When entering, Shen Ningning was still thinking in her heart that it was unsafe for anyone to come to the backyard of such an important place as the bank.

She should find a chance to talk to Lu Shaoyuan and ask him to at least verify his identity and then let someone lead him to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ningning thought it was simple.

As soon as she entered the two-story building, she found at least thirty shopkeepers, queuing in a long line. Looking forward, it was a long line that could not be seen.

One shopkeeper came down from upstairs with a seal, and the other shopkeeper could go up to report the matter.

Shen Ningning could also vaguely hear the sound of many people discussing business upstairs.

The waiter said, "It will be your turn soon. When you go upstairs, just show the cards to the checker over there. I will leave first."

Shen Ningning nodded with a dry smile.

She just thought that Lu Shaoyuan was lax in management. Now it seems that Mrs. Meng's business is really booming.

I heard that Lu Shaoyuan only took 30% of the business, but he was already so busy.

If Mrs. Meng's big family business was taken over, would Lu Shaoyuan still be able to sleep well?

Shen Ningning waited for a while and found that everyone was here to do business.

Some important accounts needed to be checked by the young master, and the jade shop had to ask the young master for permission to deal with a batch of jade with poor quality.

Shen Ningning looked around and felt that she was embarrassed to say her own business.

She came here this time to tell Lu Shaoyuan that they didn't want to get engaged.

But since he was very busy with business, Shen Ningning couldn't bring it up at this time, so she could only find another time.

After thinking about it, she turned around and left helplessly.

Upstairs, Lu Shaoyuan sat in front of a gilded and jade-inlaid table, which was covered with account books. Four servants followed him to hold pens and write down important decisions he made at any time.

Six shopkeepers sat in a circle around Lu Shaoyuan.

Everyone was arguing about the latest prices. Lu Shaoyuan pinched his eyebrows, feeling really tired.

As usual, he would leave these things and turn around, but now it was different. As long as he thought about getting married to Shen Ningning, he wanted to grow up quickly and be able to stand on his own.

Otherwise, how could he protect his wife during the marriage.

He was completely powerless compared to the prince, unless he was reincarnated, but he could at least guarantee that if his wealth was rich enough to rival a country, he could also give Shen Ningning overwhelming wealth.

When he was particularly tired, Lu Shaoyuan took time out and waved to the nearby followers to come closer.

He whispered, "Go to Deyue Tower to buy two boxes of snacks for me and send them to Xiangyun Village. One box should be sweet crispy mud cakes for Shen Ningning, and the other should be dogwood soup, which is slightly bitter and suitable for Grandma Qin. Please say hello to her on my behalf, and be polite and respectful."

The attendant bowed, "I understand, I'll do it right away."

After Lu Shaoyuan finished speaking, he looked up and found that the six shopkeepers were all looking at him.

These shopkeepers were all the capable men around Madam Meng before, and they were all old partners. They also watched Lu Shaoyuan grow up.

Seeing their smiling faces stroking their beards, Lu Shaoyuan felt embarrassed: "Uncles, where were you talking about just now?"

The shopkeepers looked at each other and laughed: "Young Master, we old uncles are sometimes really negligent. Look, now you and the princess are about to get engaged, and we are still dragging you to discuss business. It's really wrong."

Someone echoed and laughed: "Yes, sending cakes is something like sending cakes to a little girl, you have to send it to her in person so that she will remember your kindness."

"It's just right, there's nothing to do here, and we have discussed everything that needs to be discussed. Young Master, you go to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess. You always follow us old men to do business, don't let the princess feel neglected."

Lu Shaoyuan really wanted to leave.

He wanted to go to Xiangyun Village to see what Shen Ningning was doing.

Since he knew they were going to get engaged, he looked forward to seeing her every day.

But Shen Ningning was very rational and independent, and never took the initiative to come to his shop to see him, and Lu Shaoyuan didn't want to force her to do anything.

Since she didn't come, he had to go.

But, thinking that they will be engaged on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, he will have to show some decent skills by then to give a good account to Mr. Xie.

Lu Shaoyuan could only harden his heart and said with gritted teeth: "Forget it, let's discuss the business first. If I don't stand firm, I can't give her happiness."

The shopkeepers all laughed when they heard this.

Shen Ningning, who had already left the bank, ran into Meng Wanning.

She walked on the street with her maid like a wandering soul.

Shen Ningning would not have meddled in other people's business, but when she saw Meng Wanning was about to hit the oil pan, she still reminded her: "Be careful on the road ahead!"

The maid behind Meng Wanning also seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly pulled her mistress.

"It was a close call..." Meng Wanning came back to her senses, looked at the boiling oil pan bubbling, and patted her chest in shock.

Shen Ningning pursed her lips, and didn't intend to say anything more, and was about to pass by her.

Suddenly, Meng Wanning looked at her from behind: "Princess! Do you like the prince or not?"

There were people coming and going around, and her voice was not loud, but Shen Ningning frowned uncomfortably.

"It has nothing to do with you." Shen Ningning didn't want to explain anything.

Meng Wan Ning smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Lu Shaoyuan is my relative after all, and I am a member of the Meng family. We all prosper together and we all suffer together. I am really afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be completely angry with the Meng family because of the princess's matter. Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will even attack my second uncle."

Earlier, Mo Lingwei had already fought with Lu Shaoyuan at the National Academy.

Shen Ningning's eyebrows were stern: "Brother will not do that again."

After saying that, she turned around and left. She and Meng Wan Ning really couldn't get along.

But Shen Ningning didn't know that Meng Wan Ning looked at her gradually receding figure and said thoughtfully: "That's not necessarily true."
