Chapter 181: Suming County is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers

Prince Chang will not take action against the third-rank officials for the time being.

What then?

Jiusu pondered and gently stroked the red bottle in her hand. This was the powder that could make a person temporarily lose their internal strength. She had no martial arts skills, so she could only use this powder to protect herself.

She wants both power and money.

"Zitan, tell everyone in the mansion to keep the doors locked from now on. If Prince Chang comes looking for me, I'll say I'm on some important business and won't be home for long."

"Okay." Zitan bowed.

The hot pot restaurant is closed today.

Yuan Ling was sorting the goods when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door politely and saw a man in gorgeous clothes. She pointed to the plaque on the door.

"We are closed today, please come back tomorrow."

Fang Fei twisted her body and stepped forward, sneering, "Open your eyes wide and see! This is General Bai's sedan chair. How dare you let the general be turned away? Do you think you're the current emperor?"

Yuan Ling came to the door with her hands on her shoulders.

She smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary worker."

"I'm glad you know." Fang Fei chuckled. As expected, the master was the strength of their family. Even the son-in-law, oh no, he was no longer the son-in-law.

He's just a peasant with a dream of gold.

Yuan Ling said, "But you are just a servant, can you represent the current emperor?"

"You!" Fang Fei's face changed. If the general knew what she said, she would be killed even if she had ten lives. "Like master, like dog, just like that bitch Jiusu!"

Yuan Ling folded her arms across her chest, waved inside, and asked Songbai to write a few words on the wooden sign.

A wooden sign hangs at the door of the store.

"Closed today, goodbye."

The door closed and the words on the wooden sign were clearly visible.

Fangfei was of humble origin and had never attended a private school, but she was familiar with the word "dog". She was so angry that her cheeks turned red, and she turned around and walked to the sedan chair to complain.

She said, "General, Miss, not only are they not welcoming, they are also insulting me."

Open the curtains.

Bai Zhenan saw the wooden sign on the door, his eyes gloomy, and he saw through Fang Fei's intention to stir up trouble. He said coldly: "Put away your little thoughts. Xue'er was originally gentle and kind, but you led her astray!"

He knew it clearly.

This maidservant protects her master, but this is not the way to protect her master.

Distinguish right from wrong, give timely advice, and take the right path, instead of following Xueer down the wrong path and giving bad advice.

Fangfei lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, but her hatred for Jiusu grew even deeper. It happened that the shop was closed today, causing her to be scolded by the old general.

"I know I was wrong."

Within a day, Bai Luoxue tidied up her appearance and became a lady from a wealthy family again. She felt a dull pain in her abdomen, and her child reminded her that she had revenge to take.

She raised her eyes and said, "Father, I want Brother Jiang Jing."

"Xue'er, last night your uncle Jiang came to thank the Tiger Silver Army." Bai Zhenan paused, "I talked to him about your affairs."

Bai Luoxue clenched her handkerchief and asked nervously and expectantly.

"What did uncle say?"

"His attitude is very clear. He said that Jiang Jing already has a woman he likes, and she is the daughter-in-law he and Madam Jiang have chosen." Bai Zhenan sighed, then looked at his grieving daughter and advised, "Now that things have come to this, give up Jiang Jing and come back to Shengjing with me."

Bai Luoxue clenched her fists, the hatred in her eyes becoming clearer. She knelt on the ground and said, "No, I won't give in. Father, please help me. Even if I don't marry Jiang Jing, don't let Jiusu get him."

Bai Zhenan was so angry that his hands were shaking. He waved his hands and sighed heavily.

Why had his daughter become like this after only a few months of not seeing her? He said earnestly, "Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Even until death, you can't cry out in pain."

Bai Luoxue raised her head and said seriously, "If I can accomplish one of the two, I will be content even if I die."

——

The next day, it rained.

Jiusu stretched out his hand to count and sighed, "This is actually the sixth rain in autumn. If it rains four more, winter will come."

The tree in the yard has lost all its leaves.

Because of the weather, more and more people are eating hot pot. People from Lingcheng come from far and wide to have a try, including the prefect. Of course, he didn't run so far just for a bite of food.

But get the news.

The two little dragons in the palace gathered in Suming County.

The prefect had originally intended to inquire, but after taking the first bite of the hot pot, he was deeply attracted. His eyes lit up, the aroma and spicy taste made him extremely hungry. "Give me another plate of these."

He ate until his face was greasy.

I have forgotten the important matter.

The hot pot restaurant was busy and chaotic. The Bai family used their connections to get the best private room. Looking at the decorations around them, they were surprised, and the woman in pink was more jealous.

Can she open a store like this?

It definitely doesn’t taste good!

She took a bite of the meat slice in the mushroom soup pot with a stiff expression. Seeing that her father was eating happily, she frowned, spit out the meat in her mouth and spat.

"Pah, it tastes terrible."

Bai Zhenan ate it with great relish, "Xue'er, you are prejudiced, I think it is delicious."

Bai Luoxue was jealous and mad. She said aggrievedly, "Father, you don't even stand by me."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Eat it and learn more about this thing called Jiusu." Bai Zhenan knew that his daughter wanted to eat it, but he couldn't save face, so he felt angry and annoyed.

Isn’t it enough that he gave his daughter a reason to eat?

As a father, you always have to pamper your daughter to be qualified.

Bai Luoxue said with a strange expression: "Okay, then my daughter will try it reluctantly, right?"

Downstairs, in the lounge.

Lifting the curtain, he looked at the people in the hall and the box.

Jiusu chuckled: "Suming County is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. They are all here."

The boxes where the prince's family and the Bai family's father and daughter were located were exactly opposite each other. Prince Chang was in the east area of ​​the hall, the prefect was in the north area, and some large and small merchants were scattered in different places.

"Yes, they are all big Buddhas that cannot be taken away." Yuan Ling said helplessly.

Jiusu looked through the menu and checked the kitchen's hygiene. She instructed, "Especially Prince Chang and Bai Luoxue. Be careful when serving them and don't let them find fault."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise in the box.

The two of them hurried in and heard cries for help from inside. Jiusu cried out inwardly that something was wrong and kicked the door open. "Peony! What does Prince Chang want to do?"

While he was thinking, Shaoyao pushed King Chang away and ran behind Jiusu holding her clothes tightly.

She shed tears, "Ms. Dong..."

"Don't cry." Jiusu took out a handkerchief to wipe Shaoyao's tears. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She forgot that King Chang was not a human being but a beast.

Prince Chang tugged at his collar and said playfully, "You want to intervene when I play with women?"

Jiusu's eyes were stern, his voice was slightly raised, and his tone seemed to be a reminder and warning.

"This isn't a brothel, it's a hot pot restaurant! If Prince Chang can't control his lower body, please go out and turn around to go where you should be instead of being a hooligan here."

Shaoyao gently tugged at the young lady's sleeve, fearing that she would cause trouble for her.

Jiusu said softly: "It's okay."

Prince Chang had come to his senses, anger flashing across his face as he roared, "Bitch, you dare to control me? Yun Yong, catch her! I'm going to play with women here! And I'm going to play with Jiang Jing's women too!"
