Chapter 171 Worrying about Sister Shen

With a young couple who loves to play the game of red string around, it's not easy for them to get too close.

No more nonsense after sitting down.

Chen Chunxing introduced the two to each other and briefly talked about the recent situation in the village before asking, "What's going on at the gate?"

She had been to the county government office many times before, but this was the first time she saw so many people coming to report to the authorities.

Since ancient times, ordinary people have had a natural fear of officials because they are not allowed to enter officialdom.

Honglu County is a remote and poor area. Instead of arguing with others, the people would rather stand on the street and curse. As long as they can vent their resentment, they will turn around and look for a way to make a living.

Today is quite surprising.

"I've been away from the county government office for too long, and some people can't sit still anymore." Xue Yongan poured tea for Chen Chunxing, rubbed a handful of peanuts, put them in the teacup, and then pushed it in front of her, motioning her to eat.

There was no shyness in the words towards Limpopo.

"But that's fine too. It's a good opportunity to test the new master's abilities."

Chen Chunxing's mind moved, and he picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. "The one outside?"

Xue Yongan nodded.

Chen Chunxing was puzzled: "That man doesn't look much older than you, how could he have such fame and honor?"

"Not only that, he is also a famous scholar."

“…”

Chen Chunxing leaned back, stared at the beams and chuckled, "Is it that genius is worthless, or am I just young and inexperienced?"

A scholar of seventeen or eighteen, although not as good as Xue Yongan, is also extremely rare.

If an ordinary family could have such a young man, no matter how poor the family was, there would probably be relatives who would take the initiative to support him.

It was for this reason that Xue Yongan was taken to the capital by the Duke's Mansion.

Only a fool would run to the border to be an unknown legal advisor.

Xue Yongan said indifferently, "According to Master Chu, he wanted to repay the favor of saving his younger sister, and he had already agreed to stay in Honglu County for only three years. After three years, when the imperial examination was held, he would resign and leave."

This sounds more reasonable.

The Xiayuan Kingdom holds imperial examinations every three years. If you missed last year, you will have to wait three years later.

Chen Chunxing recalled what he had just seen and curled his lips: "You are just telling lies with open eyes."

It was obvious that the man was an unconventional person. He was shrewd, capable, and ambitious... How could he be willing to waste three years in this desolate place?

Not to mention it was for an unrelated little girl.

He and Su Ruanruan have absolutely no connection at all.

Xue Yongan knew her special ability. After a moment's thought, he understood what she meant. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why can't this person be used?"

Chen Chunxing tossed peanuts into his mouth, one by one, until he had finished the entire cup. Then, as if making a decision, he softly said, "It's possible to use each other."

The two exchanged glances, and Xue Yongan knew what was going on.

This boy must have some plans, but what he wants will not have a negative impact on himself, Su Su, or the Shen family... Maybe if he makes some plans, he can gain something.

They didn't dwell on the matter too much. Since the person had come to their door on his own initiative, they decided to just go and see since they had already accepted it.

Honglu County is currently short of talent.

If Xue Yongan hadn't met Master Chu, he would have had to deal with those people outside by himself.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the table casually, his gaze extending to the door: "Madame Chen has been much more obedient lately, but that steward Chen seems to have some complaints about my closeness with Yang Shoubei."

Chen Chunxing was surprised, "They haven't left yet?"

But I understand it in my heart.

It turned out that the people from the Duke's Mansion also came for the Seventh Prince.

No wonder she chose me, a little maid in the Xue Mansion, without hesitation between her and Luo Jinzhi.

I guess he wanted to use Xue Yongan as a cover to make things easier. After all, even Yang Shoubei had to cover up.

The emperor certainly doesn't want the news of the seventh prince's disappearance to spread.

It’s a pity that I’m a step too late.

Chen Chunxing couldn't help but mutter, "Those who play tactics have dirty hearts."

He drove away Xue Yongan and turned a blind eye to those who made things difficult for him. On the surface, he was on the side of Prince Li, but secretly gave him money to keep this "favorite" of the old emperor hanging around.

Xue Yongan glanced at her sideways, touched his nose, but didn't say anything in the end.

In fact, they are both complicated people.

Lin Popo was confused as he listened, and thought to himself, fortunately he didn't get the script of a vicious female supporting role. With this sister's intelligence, she could easily beat eight of him.

This made me more determined to start my own business.

It's impossible to have a family feud. I don't have the brains for that.

Instead of wasting time internally, it is better to learn from the older generation and contribute to the people's livelihood!

When the two of them had almost finished talking, a bailiff came to deliver a petition, so Xue Yongan had to go to the court first.

Chen Chunxing took Lin Popo to visit the backyard.

She was the recognized "mistress" of the Xue Mansion, and no one dared to stop her.

After a while, I met one, two or three groups of people.

First, passing by the rockery, he ran into an unfamiliar maid chasing Su Ruanruan.

The little girl hasn't moved out yet.

She pinched the pastry in one hand, her cheeks puffed up, and she didn't forget to look back and make faces while jumping.

Ge Baoer was stopped in the pavilion by several servants. She was so anxious that she almost cried: "Don't hurt her! It's just a few cakes. At worst, I can ask the cook to make them and return them to you."

Under the rockery.

The maidservant was still cursing, "Look at you poor-looking people, what can you give me to pay me back? That's the life-saving medicine for my nanny! I don't know how many rare herbs are in it! If you delay nanny's important matter, this damn girl will pay with her life!"

Su Runrun was standing on a towering boulder. Upon hearing the sound, she stuffed the last piece of cake in her hand into her mouth.

There was indeed a medicinal aroma in it, but it was just some ordinary herbs that cleared away heat and detoxified. Otherwise, she would not have bothered to eat it!

"If this thing can save lives, even a sow can climb a tree. I'm so soft, I've been worried sick about Sister Shen. If your nanny wants to treat the disease, she should quickly replace the quack doctor..."

The little girl had something in her mouth, and her words were not very clear. The maid was worried about dereliction of duty, so she naturally couldn't hear her.

But some people understood.

Chen Chunxing climbed up the rockery with nimble agility, and in a flash, he came behind Su Runrun, covered the little girl's round mouth with his hands, then pulled her into his arms, and landed on the ground with a few leaps.

"Naughty."

Chen Chunxing flicked his finger at Su Runruan's forehead, and the little girl quickly hugged her head.

"The girl is finally back!"

When Baoer saw Chen Chunxing, he became more confident. He pushed away the people blocking his way and ran over excitedly.

The maidservant was someone close to Nanny Chen. She had met Shen Chunxing several times and knew how difficult she was to deal with. However, she was unwilling to let her leave just like that.

If you lose the medicine, you'll be punished when you get home! Mammy has been nearly insane lately trying to cure her illness, and she's afraid...

I dare not think too deeply.

The maid gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Young lady, you've come at the right time. There's someone with dirty hands in the mansion. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Chen Chunxing acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile, "It's indeed time to give an explanation."

Baoer immediately clenched her hands nervously.

Su Runrun, with her mouth covered, struggled frantically but was reluctant to take a bite.

"I will immediately drive this dishonest person out of the house. She's just a little girl. I think her suffering will be worse than any other punishment after she ends up wandering the streets."

Baoer opened his mouth slightly, then closed it immediately.

Su Ruanruan was not originally from the mansion...and her brother was outside.

I'm not afraid.

Although she didn't know the identity of the little girl, she could hear the perfunctory tone in her words. The maid refused to agree and, relying on the fact that she had more people on her side, she wanted to take ruthless action and take Su Runrun away to see Nanny Chen first.

As for the final punishment, that depends on the nanny's intention.

Seeing several people quickly surrounding him at the maid's signal, Bao'er stood in front of Chen Chunxing in fear.

Lin Popo blinked, and suddenly raised his eyebrows at those men with fat faces.

She finally thought of what she could do.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Lin Popo twisted his waist and walked forward.

The men thought she wanted to beg for mercy, and a lustful glint flashed in their eyes.

Although Miss Shen is untouchable, this unfamiliar girl... looks much more to my taste than those withered girls.

During the scuffle, I can take advantage of what's at hand without being discovered, right?

Baoer was so anxious that she was about to cry. Seeing someone reaching out to Lin Popo's chest, she hurriedly picked up a stone from the ground and rushed over to fight.

But he didn't expect to be held down by Chen Chunxing.

"girl!"

As soon as Baoer shouted, the anxiety on his face froze instantly.

The stone fell to the ground with a thud.

There was a series of crackling sounds.

When Chen He arrived with Dong'er, he just saw Lin Bobo raising his proud long legs. Wow, the whip kicked with a sound of wind and hit the crotch of the person in front of him.

There were several men lying at her feet, moaning.

"Sister, what do you say about me opening a girls' school? It'll specialize in self-defense! Hey, this is my family's secret, and it's been lost to my generation anyway. It doesn't matter who I pass it on to, at least it's a way to help the Lin family inherit it."

Lin Popo really loves the blind date industry. As we all know, blind dates are risky. If she didn't have this unique skill, she really wouldn't dare to enter the industry.

The whole place was silent.

Only Chen Chunxing clapped his hands, smiling brightly: "Sis, if you have such ambitions, I will definitely support you wholeheartedly. Well, it just so happens that I have two maids with me. When you open the shop, Xue Mansion will be the first to sign up."

“…”

Dong'er, who was about to arrive, looked confused.

Sign up?

What do you want to register for?

Learning to kick the crotch...

Among the crowd who came to stop the fight, the men subconsciously clamped their legs together and looked terrified.

If everyone learns all this, what will be the role of men in the future?

I made up my mind immediately.

Must return to the capital!

No matter how Manager Chen talks, they are determined not to stay!

I can’t afford to marry a woman from the North!

"What kind of misunderstanding do you have?" Chen He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I just feel that every time I see Miss Shen, she can bring me a "surprise".

Chen Chunxing shrugged, "The child was greedy and accidentally ate a few cakes from Nanny Chen. Although the Xue family is poor, they can still afford to compensate. If Nanny wants to blame her, just let her come find me."

Behind Manager Chen were the servants from the Xue Mansion, all of whom stood in the middle with a fierce look in their eyes.

Chen He relaxed his expression and said with a smile, "It's just a few cakes. I thought it was something else. Another day... when I return to the capital, I will go to Liu Fang Zhai to buy a cart of cakes to make amends for the young lady."

The maid sighed, knowing that since Manager Chen had already come forward, it would be tactless for her to continue to pester him.

Neither Nanny Chen nor Steward Chen was someone she could afford to offend, so she could only stare at Su Runrun with hatred.

The little girl finally calmed down. Perhaps she was shocked by Lin Popo's actions. Her neck stretched out, her eyes almost glued to her legs, her hands unconsciously stretched forward, and she muttered:

"Touch it, just touch it..."
