Chapter 2219: The Carriage from the Qis

Shu Yu noticed that these young ladies seemed to be the ones who had witnessed her confrontation with Wu Ling on the second floor of the shop that day.

She couldn't help but quirk a corner of her mouth. Were these young ladies here to support her? Oh no, they were purely driven by curiosity.

Unlike Wu Ling and her group, these young ladies walked over rather than staying inside their carriages. They greeted Shu Yu, "Princess Wen'an, congratulations on your grand opening."

They had brought gifts, and Shu Yu accepted them graciously before inviting them to the backyard.

However, the young ladies waved their hands and said, "It's okay, we're just here to take a look. Lady Lu, what kind of goods does your shop sell?"

They seemed to think it was a shop selling cosmetics or clothing similar to the Rouge Shop across the street. They didn't expect to find sunflower seeds, oil, and even those pieces of noodle cake that the assistants had mentioned.

The prices were reasonable, catering to common people.

Feeling disappointed, they realized that these were not the items they were interested in. They regretted the missed opportunity considering the shop's prime location.

After satisfying their curiosity, the young ladies exchanged glances and decided to leave.

Just then, they noticed a familiar carriage approaching.

"That carriage... It seems to belong to the Zhou family."

The young ladies, who had been about to step out, suddenly hesitated.

Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Did they have to be so nosy?

The Zhou family's carriage also couldn't enter and stopped a few steps away. The maidservant accompanying Cen Yi got off the carriage and carried a gift box.

She smiled and congratulated Shu Yu, "Lady Lu, I wish you great success in your business. This is a special gift prepared by our young miss to wish you prosperity and wealth."

The young ladies were even more disappointed. They had hoped to see Cen Yi come over as well, wanting to witness a dramatic confrontation between the two former rivals.

However, although Cen Yi's carriage had arrived, she didn't get off. Instead, the maidservant handed over the gift and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the young ladies could only sigh secretly. They had expected to eavesdrop on an interesting conversation between Shu Yu and Young Madam Cen but were left unsatisfied.

Unfortunately, the two of them only exchanged polite pleasantries with no substantial content.

The maidservant had come to deliver the gift and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the young ladies had no choice but to express their regrets and prepare to take their leave.

Shu Yu also had no intention of keeping them, as she didn't expect them to buy anything. She was mainly focused on spreading the shop's reputation.

However, she did accept the gifts and instructed Ying Xi to prepare some items to return the courtesy.

As the young ladies were contemplating whether they should buy something as a token of appreciation, one of them noticed some commotion outside.

She whispered softly, "It looks like Wu Ling and her group are leaving?"

Everyone followed her gaze and indeed saw that Wu Ling's carriage was moving to the side.

However, in the next moment, they were surprised to find that Wu Ling and her group were not leaving but making way for another carriage that had just arrived.

And that carriage seemed to belong to the Qi family.

The Qi family, the residence of Grand Tutor Qi, had a lady coming as well?
