Chapter 401 Where Does Confidence Come From?

"Oh, no."

Lian Xin suddenly ran over in a hurry and said, "Something happened over there, Shopkeeper Jin. Maybe someone saw that Ruyu Pavilion was doing well and deliberately sent someone to cause trouble. Luckily, Xu Yang and the others haven't left yet!"

"Xu Yang and the others didn't leave?" Xiao Jiuyue was a little surprised. She heard that Xu Yang and the boss got drunk and passed out in Fengchunlou last night!

"Yes, not only did they not leave, the boss and his men are still staying at Ruyu Pavilion. Who would dare to cause trouble if they stood at the door?" Lian Xin was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would worry, so she smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Jin is indeed a heroine. Many people came to cause trouble, but she handled them all."

"We should learn more from Manager Jin." Lianxin sat in the teahouse and looked at Manager Jin in Ruyuge, who was chatting with the guests with ease. When each guest left, his hands were never empty.

Especially the ten women who received free makeup from Shopkeeper Jin. Some were married women, and some were unmarried girls. They were wearing the same clothes, but they looked completely different when they put them on.

"Shopkeeper Jin is very suitable for doing business." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Shopkeeper Jin who was constantly moving among the crowd, and his eyes fell on the boss and others guarding the door. Suddenly, Xiao Jiuyue seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Miss, you see, the boss and his family are so kind. Because of you, they even help guard the Ruyu Pavilion. They even send food from so far away just to thank you for teaching them how to farm."

Lian Xin continued to talk, and Xiao Jiuyue chuckled: "It's a good thing that they have changed for the better, but..."

Xiao Jiuyue changed the subject and said, "You're definitely not staying because of me."

"Ah..." Lian Xin stared at the boss for a while, then at Xu Yang. Soon, she also noticed it. She covered her mouth in shock and said, "Miss, boss, the person you are staring at is Manager Jin, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded. He hadn't looked carefully before and hadn't noticed it, but now he saw that the boss really wanted to glue his eyes to Manager Jin.

"Didn't they meet yesterday or the day before yesterday?" Lianxin was extremely surprised.

"Some people, you can never forget them after meeting them once, and some people, you can never remember them even if you spend a lifetime with them." Xiao Jiuyue feels that fate is really a wonderful thing.

"Let's go and see the salt well." Xiao Jiuyue stood up and planned to go to the salt well to take a look. Recently, she thought of a new method of extracting salt and digging salt wells. Perhaps it would be more efficient?

If we have a few more salt wells, the output can be increased, and then it will be full of money!

Just as Xiao Jiuyue was about to get on the carriage, he saw Xue Lingxiao coming over.

"Miss Xiao." Xue Lingxiao stood in front of the carriage and looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

"Your fiancée is buying rouge and powder." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him. Xue Lingxiao was really not afraid that Zhuang Xianxian would wake up and not marry him?

"Miss Xiao, this marriage was arranged for me by my mother." Xue Lingxiao looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "I've heard about the Xiao family's affairs. If you're willing, I can find a way to help you."

It seems that he is still unaware that the Xiao family is going to overturn the case.

"You?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Forget it. Has Mr. Xue's illness been examined by a doctor? He's so young and already sick, and he doesn't even have a child. If Miss Zhuang knew about this, she'd probably regret not marrying him."

"Xiao Jiuyue, I'm not sick." Xue Lingxiao's face changed when he mentioned what happened that day. He had been fine these past few days, without any discomfort at all. He stared at her intently, "It must be your maid who gave me medicine!"

"You are just empty talk, Master Xue, please don't slander others." Xiao Jiuyue looked at him with a smile: "Whether Master Xue can return to Shengjing is still unknown. I remember that Master Xue offended someone!"

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xue Lingxiao with a smile. She later asked someone to find out that Xue Lingxiao could no longer stay in Shengjing, so he was exiled to Hongdu.

"You..." Xue Lingxiao was about to speak angrily, but Xiao Jiuyue stepped onto the carriage and said, "Mr. Xue, you'd better not offend me. Otherwise, one day I won't be able to hide the truth anymore, and I'll have to have a good chat with Miss Zhuang."

"If Magistrate Zhuang's marriage fails, you..." Xiao Jiuyue didn't say it, but the meaning was obvious. Xue Lingxiao must hold on to this marriage now, otherwise, what future will Xue Lingxiao have?

Xiao Jiuyue got into the carriage and left directly. Xue Lingxiao couldn't help but clench his fists.

Zhuang Xianxian had just bought a set of lip balm and followed Xue Han out when she saw this scene. She frowned.

"Sister Xianxian, it must be someone surnamed Xiao who wants to seduce my brother." Xue Han looked at Xiao Jiuyue's departing carriage angrily and said, "Sister Xianxian, don't worry, my brother definitely only has you in his heart."

"Sister Han." Zhuang Xianxian smiled, thinking that Xue Lingxiao had specially gone out with her to buy lip balm today. She was a little worried that Xiao Jiuyue would not say anything behind her back in front of Xue Lingxiao, right?

"Brother, you'd better stay away from that vixen named Xiao. People like them are hard to get rid of once you get involved with them." Xue Han ran over and said to Xue Lingxiao. At the same time, she winked at Xue Lingxiao, asking him to coax Zhuang Xianxian.

"Xianxian." Xue Lingxiao gently helped Zhuang Xianxian into the carriage. He said, "Just now..."

"I believe you." Zhuang Xianxian grabbed his hand, looked at him and said with a smile, "Brother Ling Xiao definitely wouldn't judge a person by their appearance, right?"

"No." Xue Lingxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Xianxian is prettier than her, prettier than any girl in Shengjing!"

Even though she knew that what Xue Lingxiao said might not be true, Zhuang Xianxian's heart still beat fast after hearing it.

Xue Lingxiao said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the new farm I bought today. I bought a hundred acres of land there. When the time comes, we can grow food with Lancang County. From now on, we won't have to worry about food shortages."

"It will also make Lord Zhuang less worried." Xue Lingxiao's words made Zhuang Xianxian smile even more.

"The Xiao family will be rehabilitated soon. There is no hope for Xue Lingxiao to return to Shengjing. When the Xiao family is rehabilitated, let's see if he still has the face to speak in front of the young lady." Lian Xin said angrily.

If it were in Shengjing in the past, which young man would dare to speak to a young lady like this?

"Lianxin, don't you find it strange that they were so spoiled in Hongdu, so why did they come to Lancang County?" Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the carriage, a look of confusion in her eyes. She said, "Lancang County is much more backward than Hongdu."

"It's just that the young master and the young lady are out enjoying the scenery." Lian Xin said, and took out some snacks and mung bean soup for Xiao Jiuyue: "Miss, today's mung bean soup is especially delicious."

"No." Xiao Jiuyue felt something was amiss. Where did Xue Lingxiao get his confidence from? Why did he think he could help her? He even asked her to beg for help?

"Jin Wu, go and check quietly to find out what they are here for." Xiao Jiuyue thought about how Xue Lingxiao looked like he could help her just now, and she always felt that something was wrong!
