Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Unexpected Guests
Duan Yixin sat on the straw bed for a long time and didn’t leave her bedroom until the first sunlight emerged from the eastern horizon. After taking a quick shower, Duan Yixin went to the kitchen to make breakfast and her daily medicine.

Twenty minutes later, Duan Yixin came out with the bamboo tray after she had drunk her medicine. She had just put the bamboo tray on the wooden table in the living room when she heard the sound of wheels approaching her home. She was a little curious, so she went out to see who was coming this early in the morning.

As soon as she walked out of her house, Duan Yixin saw a horse carriage parked in front of her house. Judging from the appearance of the horse carriage, the owner must be wealthy. Seeing the coachman put the small ladder next to the carriage, Duan Yixin stood in front of her house, waiting for the people in the carriage to come out.

Before long, Duan Yixin saw a young woman around her age coming out of the carriage. The dress she wore was of good quality, but from her behavior, Duan Yixin knew that she was a maidservant.

After getting out of the carriage, the maidservant opened the curtain and said, “Seventh Young Lady, we are here.”

After she said that, a slender white hand was placed on the maidservant’s palm. A few seconds later, Duan Yixin saw a beautiful young woman getting off the carriage with the help of the maidservant. The young woman was stunned when the young woman saw Duan Yixin’s beautiful face.

Although Duan Yixin’s face was still pale and her body thin, the young woman could tell at a glance that she was actually a very beautiful woman. As long as Duan Yixin gains weight and becomes healthy, Duan Yixin will become the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.

Seeing her young lady in a daze, the maidservant asked with a hint of worry on her young face, “Seventh Young Lady, are you alright?”

When the young woman heard the question, she came to her senses and stepped onto the small ladder. After the soles of her exquisite embroidered shoes touched the ground, she placed her hands on top of each other and placed them in front of her belly, and then walked gracefully towards Duan Yixin in small steps.

While they approached her house, Duan Yixin observed her and the maidservant. After the young woman stopped in front of the fence, she smiled politely at Duan Yixin and said softly, “Greetings, Young Lady.”

Listening to her gentle voice, Duan Yixin was convinced that the identity of the young lady in front of her must be either a daughter of a noble family or at least a wealthy businessman. Since this young woman came to visit her early in the morning, Duan Yixin also knew that she must have something she wanted.

Duan Yixin had a faint smile on her lips and nodded to the young woman but didn’t say anything. The young woman felt a little embarrassed when she saw Duan Yixin’s knowing eyes.

After a few moments, the young woman calmed down and smiled at Duan Yixin, “Are you Miss Duan?”

Duan Yixin nodded and asked, “Yes. May I know who you are, Young Lady?”

Looking at Duan Yixin’s expression, the young woman said apologetically, “I’m sorry for disturbing Miss Duan this early. My name is Hong Qiaole, the seventh young lady of the Hong family from the imperial capital city and the owner of Tian Xiang Pavilion and Qian Mei Pavilion.”

Duan Yixin was a little surprised to hear that the young lady in front of her was the owner of Tian Xiang Pavilion. Although she knew nothing about Qian Mei Pavilion, she knew that Tian Xiang Pavilion was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Chun Shan Town.

Based on Hong Qiaole’s bone age, Duan Yixin knew that Hong Qiaole should be less than twenty years old. For her to become the owner of Tian Xiang Pavilion at such a young age, Hong Qiaole must be very capable in business.

Seeing Duan Yixin’s thoughtful expression, Hong Qiaole smiled and asked, “Miss Duan must have heard of Tian Xiang Pavilion and Qian Mei Pavilion, right?”

“I only heard that Tian Xiang Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Chun Shan Town. As for Qian Mei Pavilion, I have never heard of it.” Duan Yixin replied calmly.

After Duan Yixin finished speaking, Hong Qiaole looked at her in surprise. She never expected that Duan Yixin would only know about her Tian Xiang Pavilion, but not Qian Mei Pavilion, since the most successful of the two businesses was Qian Mei Pavilion.

While Hong Qiaole was staring at her in surprise, Duan Yixin opened the low gate and said, “Miss Hong, do you want to come in and talk?”

Hong Qiaole was looking forward to receiving Duan Yixin’s invitation. She smiled politely and said, “Thank you, Miss Duan, for the invitation.”

After saying that, she followed Duan Yixin in. Duan Yixin motioned for her to sit down on the stool in the front yard and said, “Miss Hong, please take a seat.”

Hong Qiaole nodded and sat down while Duan Yixin went to the kitchen to brew a pot of tea for her guests. Seeing her walking away, the maidservant asked in a low voice, “Seventh Young Lady, are you sure she is the person you are looking for?”

Hong Qiaole nodded and said, “I’m sure. She is the only one who can help me.”

Seeing her calm expression, the maidservant said, “Seventh Young Lady, what if you are wrong? Look at this yard and that dilapidated thatched house. If I hadn’t known that someone lived here, I would have thought this was an abandoned house.”

Hong Qiaole glanced at the maidservant and said sternly, “Fen Lan, never judge people by their appearance. Human destiny is like a wheel that never stops.”
