[Host, how about we go?]

The middle-aged woman's words didn't frighten Ning Wan, but they did frighten Xiao Qi quite a bit. Xiao Qi had seen too many people, and many of them were desperate.

If the host really offends someone, he may be backstabbed in the future.

It's not worth getting yourself into trouble for a total stranger.

"I thought you were going to ask me to help her."

[I am merely the host's system, and I only care about the host. Based on data analysis, saving Qiuyue will not help the host in any way, and may even threaten to expose his identity.]

Although he didn't know why the host had such an outrageous illusion, Xiao Qi felt that he needed to explain it clearly. He would always stand on the host's side.

As for the life and death of others, it can only say one thing: it depends on the host's mood.

Ning Wan sneered, looking at the middle-aged woman in front of her, "You have eyes so that your facial features look good? Didn't you see that it was your people who stopped me?"

"If you don't want anyone to take care of you, just drag it away. You're standing here and singing the same tune. I'd think you were trying to extort money from me."

After saying that, Ning Wan found a random table and said, "Waiter, bring out your signature dishes for me."

“Okay!”

The waiter did not neglect the guests because of the farce in front of him, and quickly brought out several plates of delicious dishes.

Seeing that her only lifeline had given up on her, Qiuyue instantly collapsed.

The middle-aged woman was so embarrassed that her throat choked, "You...you..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with you."

When Qiuyue was dragged away, she kept muttering "No, no..."

Ning Wan did not focus her attention on Qiuyue, but instead enjoyed the food seriously.

"Everything is fate, just accept it."

The middle-aged woman pulled Qiuyue up from the ground and called out to the people behind her.

"The person is already here, you can take him away."

The middle-aged woman knew that these people were servants of Mr. Li's family. Without saying anything more, she pushed Qiuyue towards them.

The servants just nodded and took Qiuyue away.

"Alas, this girl is also a miserable person."

"Who says it isn't?"

"It's all because my family has a few bucks."

"It's strange because she's an orphan and doesn't even have any brothers or sisters."

The sounds of discussion around me were audible.

Ning Wan continued to eat by herself, showing no intention of joining the discussion.

After discussing for a while, the people around lost interest and stopped naturally.

In just an incense stick of time, the dishes on Ning Wan's table were cleaned up.

After putting down a few coins, Ning Wan stood up and walked out the door.

I turned into a shop selling paper and pens and borrowed some paper and ink.

He wrote a letter asking for help, and of course in order to avoid being discovered by others, Ning Wan paid special attention to the handwriting.

Then he asked someone to deliver it to the guards at the foot of the mountain.

[Xiao Qi thought the host would personally rescue Qiuyue.]

"Am I that stupid?"

Ning Wan naturally has selfish motives.

Since Madam Su wants to adopt an orphan as her adopted daughter, then I should cooperate with her.

But as to who this adopted daughter is, it is not up to her to decide.

On the other side, Mrs. Su went down the mountain as quickly as possible after hearing the news.

At that time, the Li family had already started to hold banquets with great fanfare.

Just when things were getting busy, Su Liming and his men rushed in.

"Isn't this the famous newly appointed Minister of Rites? How come he has time to come to the home of a businessman like me?"

"Li Zhang, someone reported you forcibly marrying a commoner girl, causing trouble for the area. This minister has come to see you."

Li Zhang didn't expect that someone would actually report him, but as the saying goes, even a judge cannot judge family affairs. Could it be that if he took a concubine, the other party would not be able to do anything about it?

"Your Excellency, the Minister's words are too serious. Although Li took in a concubine, all proper etiquette was observed. There was no such thing as forced marriage."

Li Zhang is now sixty-four years old, so he naturally would not lose his composure because of Su Liming's simple words.

After saying a few words, he gave a look to the butler next to him.

The butler immediately understood and took out a purse.

"Sir, today is our master's wedding day, so why don't we..."

The butler didn't finish his words, but Su Li clearly understood what he meant.

He just wanted to pretend to be blind and not pursue the matter.

The guests around were already used to it.

They drank and ate meat, not at all frightened by the scene before them.

They knew very well that Li Zhang could handle this matter.

But how could Su Liming say that? The person Li Zhang wanted to marry this time was very likely the one the emperor wanted.

If I continue to act foolishly at this time, I will be like sleeping next to a cesspool, and I will be close to death!

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Today, you must hand the person over!" Su Liming said sternly.

Li Zhang's expression changed instantly.

"Oh, I respectfully address you as sir, but I won't allow you to ruin my good deeds. The girl and I are in love, and there was no coercion involved. If you're interested, please stay and have a drink, but if not, I'll excuse you."

Li Zhang said this while ignoring Su Liming's increasingly ugly expression, and toasted with the guests around him.

Mrs. Su also walked in at this time.

Seeing Su Liming standing there with a sullen face, he knew that this thing would definitely not work out. He quickly walked to Su Liming's side and shook his head anxiously.

It indicated to Su Liming that he could not allow Li Zhang to be so arrogant.

Su Liming nodded, his face turned cold, and he waved again, "Then don't blame me for offending you."

Suddenly, people from all around rushed into the hall.

Li Zhang couldn't sit still any longer and threw the wine glass on the ground. "Try it!"

The bustling hall suddenly became quiet.

The guests who originally didn't take Su Liming seriously also realized that something was wrong.

"Forget it, sir. The girl is just an orphan with no power or influence. It's a good place for her to be with Mr. Li. Otherwise, she would have been trafficked to a brothel long ago."

One of the guests stood up and tried to persuade them in a friendly way.

Although there has been a saying since ancient times that the people should not fight against the officials, Li Zhang's identity is more than just an ordinary businessman.

Li Zhang is doing royal business.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, although merchants are considered the lowest class, but once the word "emperor" is added to everything, it changes its meaning.

Su Liming was also aware of Li Zhang's identity, but if he really accomplished this, he would not be held responsible no matter how the matter was investigated.

As for Li Zhang, if he really let her ruin that girl today, it would not only be him who would suffer, he would definitely be implicated as well.

Thinking of this, Su Liming's attitude became even harder, and he didn't give Li Zhang any face at all.
