Chapter 456: Little Sister Takes Action, Jin Mansion in Trouble (6)_1
She alighted from the carriage, and Liuzi hurried over to speak with the gatekeeper, "Shopkeeper Liu of Fuman Building is here to visit Old Lady Jin."
Upon hearing that Shopkeeper Liu from Fuman Building had come in person, the young servant dared not neglect him and quickly opened the gate and went inside to report.
Lin Yuan raised her head to look at the glittering characters of "Jin Mansion" and thought back to her first meeting with Jin Yuyu and Jin Lingling; her thoughts couldn’t help but race.
The young servant soon returned, accompanied by a familiar face—it was Mother Feng, who once bought mooncakes at Lin Yuan’s stall. She was Old Lady Jin’s most capable attendant. Having her receive Shopkeeper Liu was not a slight in any sense.
Mother Feng had seen Shopkeeper Liu before. After a glance at Lin Yuan, she felt the young girl looked familiar, but for the moment she couldn’t place where she had seen her. She smiled apologetically at Shopkeeper Liu and bowed deeply, "Shopkeeper Liu, it’s really embarrassing, our Old Lady is unwell and unable to meet guests today. If you don’t mind, would you come in for a cup of tea before you leave?"
The implication of her words couldn’t be clearer: Old Lady Jin was indisposed and couldn’t meet with you today. Please come back another time.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at Lin Yuan, and seeing that she did not move, he understood that they had to meet with Old Lady Jin today.
"Mother Feng," Shopkeeper Liu, an astute man, gestured towards Lin Yuan, "Since the Old Lady isn’t available, we’ll meet with your Family Head instead. Look, Boss of Fuman Building has come in person; you surely can’t let her come here for nothing, right?"
Hearing that the visitor was the Boss of Fuman Building, Mother Feng’s expression changed dramatically, and her gaze upon Lin Yuan was filled with shock. Her attitude also became much more respectful, "So, it is the Boss of Fuman Building! Aiyo, I truly failed to recognize a great figure before me. Miss, Shopkeeper Liu, please come in, please, I’ll go and notify the Old Lady and the eldest son right this moment."
