255 Fragrant Garden Closes

Although Kong Yao and Kong Shu had been captured, their lives didn’t seem to be in danger.

Kong Rui couldn’t guess the other party’s identity, but she had other thoughts about the other party’s request.

The closure of Fragrant Garden actually wasn’t a big deal to Kong Rui.

After all, she didn’t take the management of Fragrant Garden to heart anyway. She only obtained some useful information from the customers occasionally.

Those girls were very obedient. If she asked them to spread the news, they would spread it without being suspected.

If Fragrant Garden really closed, Kong Rui would probably have some difficulties obtaining information.

However, these days, she had been wandering around the imperial capital and found a few good channels to obtain information from.

Perhaps it wasn’t impossible to let Fragrant Garden close down for a while.

However, Kong Rui didn’t intend to let the other party do whatever she wanted. After she found out the other party’s identity, she would definitely make him pay the price for everything he had done today!

Kong Rui told the brothel keeper that Fragrant Garden would close down for a month. Unexpectedly, when the brothel keeper heard the news, she froze in astonishment, then sat down on the ground and wailed.

“What kind of sin did I commit?! Fragrant Garden is a business I worked so hard to maintain! Why is it suddenly closing down?! How am I going to survive in the future?!”

Kong Rui frowned at the brothel keeper who was sitting on the ground and crying.

Ling Nuo couldn’t help but scratch her ears.

The girls also gathered at the side and discussed if Fragrant Garden had encountered any operational difficulties.

Kong Rui didn’t intend to explain too much. She only said to the brothel keeper, “I promise you that Fragrant Garden will definitely reopen after a month!”

The brothel keeper stopped crying and looked up at Kong Rui. “Master, I know I don’t have the right to ask you the reason, but Fragrant Garden is a famous venue in the imperial capital. If it really closes at this time, what will happen to the banquet seats booked by the officials and nobles?”

When Kong Rui heard the brothel keeper’s words, she felt that although the brothel keeper was very fussy, she was actually a business-minded woman.

Although she received a heavy blow, she quickly accepted this reality and looked for problems to solve.

Kong Rui admired the brothel keeper’s adaptability.

Seeing Kong Rui staring at her with bright eyes, the brothel keeper immediately felt a little baffled. “Master, don’t look at me like that! If we don’t have any business this month, don’t expect me to pay these girls and servants!”

When Kong Rui heard the brothel keeper’s words, she remembered that there was still this problem to solve.

Although they had closed for the past few days, these girls and servants couldn’t be dismissed because of this.

When Kong Rui thought of her destitution, she immediately felt a sense of awkwardness.

It seemed that she had to think of a way to earn more money!

Seeing that Kong Rui had taken her words to heart, the brothel keeper felt much better.

“Master, I have to remind you that Fragrant Garden is quite famous in the imperial capital, so it’s better not to let those unrelated people appear here!”

Kong Rui knew that the brothel keeper was talking about the waiter who had been waiting at the door that day.

Kong Rui didn’t want to explain too much about the waiter. After all, it was better for the brothel keeper to know less.

“You’re only in charge of the garden. As for who I interact with and who I receive, you don’t have to worry about it!” Kong Rui’s expression darkened as she instructed the brothel keeper.

The brothel keeper’s expression froze, but then she nodded at Kong Rui.

These days, Kong Rui rarely ordered them around, so the brothel keeper was uncomfortable with Kong Rui’s sudden order.

However, even though Kong Rui still looked like a kid, she was still her master!

After the brothel keeper received the order, she instructed the girls and servants to prepare some paper. Then, she wrote a notice to close the business and posted it outside the door of Fragrant Garden.

After everything was prepared, Kong Rui went out again to find some useful clues to see if she could save Kong Yao and Kong Shu as soon as possible.
