Su Nanxi did not disappoint them, giving each of them a small piece. It wasn't much, but it was enough to show how sought-after it was; being able to get one was already quite an achievement.

They were indeed too popular; if she hadn't given the order earlier, there probably wouldn't have been any scraps left!

And you know what? The crumbs are the best part! They're so fragrant and crispy, and the guys don't mind them at all. On the contrary, they really hope that some of them will stay!

Ordinary people wouldn't want those scraps, and they couldn't afford them anyway. Being able to eat some scraps and taste them was a blessing!

There are still many people who have the money but haven't been able to buy it!

A craze swept through Beijing, and people started showing off. Anyone who could buy these mini cakes was considered quite wealthy!

At times like these, it's not just about power anymore; without some social skills, you might not even be able to snatch it!

No one dares to touch their shop. I heard they have powerful connections. Anyone who dares to mess with them is guaranteed to be in trouble the next day!

It's not just trouble at home; it's all sorts of inexplicable setbacks in officialdom and business, and you might even encounter inexplicable problems on the road.

Those people gave up, realizing there was no need to fuss over such a small shop; they might lose even more!

Instead of causing trouble for others, I've ended up with so much trouble for myself for no reason, it's a never-ending cycle of problems!

Once they calmed down and stopped causing trouble for others, things immediately quieted down as well!

How dare they move around recklessly!

Everyone has a dark side, and if it gets exposed, it's even more of a loss. Knowing when to stop is the greatest wisdom!

The capital city has no shortage of people who want to make money; how could it possibly capture them all at once?

"Master, those people have been thoroughly dealt with, they should all behave themselves now! If they still cause trouble, I'll go and beat them up, they'll be much more obedient lying in bed!"

Bai Lu returned and reported that her words were those of a violent person, capable of taking action without words.

If her master hadn't told her not to get her hands dirty, she wouldn't have been so polite; her fists were incredibly powerful!

In order not to cause trouble for her master, she listened to her master. She also knew that this was the capital city, not other places, where the jurisdiction was stricter. If she accidentally left any trace, it could bring a lot of trouble to her master!

Most importantly, those are not ordinary people; it's best to avoid trouble if possible!

But there are many ways to deal with someone; you don't necessarily have to beat the person in question. You can also target the people around them!

"Girls should be more refined! If we can resolve things without resorting to violence, why exhaust ourselves, right? Those people may seem high and mighty, but actually, the higher they stand, the more weaknesses they hide, because they only want more and more!"

Su Nanxi gestured for Bailu to sit down and have a cup of tea to calm her mind.

When no one else is present, there are not many formalities between master and servant, so Bailu sat down as well.

She took a sip of tea. Yes, Bailu always drinks tea in big gulps. She can't learn to savor it slowly. For her, it's a bit of an ordeal, and it all feels a bit pretentious!

Of course, this wasn't directed at her master. She thought her master drank tea in such an elegant and beautiful way, it was even pleasing to the eye!

She felt that she simply couldn't do it; it was too awkward. Fortunately, her master didn't blame her and let her do as she pleased.

However, in front of her master, she restrained herself and tried not to tilt her head back and drink it all in one gulp!

If you can't be elegant, you can at least drink slowly!

She just needs to avoid embarrassing her master; everything else is up to her comfort!

"Master, that Yao Mengru persuaded a man to buy her cakes, and she almost fed them to him! It's disgusting! She clearly hates those men, but she insists on pretending to be affectionate, giving others the wrong impression, acting all innocent and pitiful! Pah! Doesn't she fear she'll get burned one day while playing with fire!"

Bai Lu took a couple of sips of tea, then suddenly remembered something and spoke to Su Nanxi about it.

Su Nanxi didn't find anything strange about it. If Yao Mengru was well-behaved, then she must have had her soul replaced!

She's always been so active, moving among all sorts of men without letting them notice anything amiss—that's quite a skill!

If a man is willing to do something for you, he must have plenty of tea on him!

Bai Lu was a little confused. Did those men like to drink tea? What use was it for carrying so much tea with them?

Bai Lu is known for asking questions when she doesn't understand.

Just as she was about to ask, Yan Feng returned, looking rushed, probably because of something urgent, and she forgot to ask.

"Master, when Marquis Anping went to investigate Geng Yuepeng, he happened to run into Geng Yuepeng and Second Master Su colluding together. He probably overheard something and was furious and wanted to go up to them. Luckily, I happened to be there and pulled him back! He probably didn't find anything. However, given Geng Yuepeng's suspicious nature, he will definitely investigate afterwards!"

I was worried that Marquis Anping would also be unwilling to accept this, and if he went to cause trouble for Geng Yuepeng, he might inadvertently fall into that old scoundrel's trap! So I rushed back to tell my master, to see if he wanted to make any arrangements.”

Sure enough, things that are said in a hurried and hasty manner are never good.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu interrupted Su Nanxi before he could speak, saying, "Master, I knew it! That Second Master Su is a menace! He's probably terrified of being disfigured, so he's gone to that old scoundrel Geng repeatedly for medicine. Is he out of his mind? Do you think that old scoundrel's medicine tastes that good? Marquis Anping must have heard something incredible, that's why he's so agitated! If he goes alone without anyone to protect him, he'll be in real danger!"

Yan Feng didn't stand on ceremony and poured himself some tea. He had been walking too fast and was thirsty. He wanted to drink some of the flower tea brewed by his master to quench his thirst!

“Marquis Anping is alright for now. I sent him back and told him not to act impulsively! He's so smart, he should know what to do! My biggest worry is that Geng Yuepeng will trace it back to him. That old scoundrel is capable of anything to eliminate any dissidents! Master, I think keeping him around is of little use, so we might as well just cripple him!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu felt the same way and looked at Su Nanxi with some anticipation.

Su Nanxi lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and the joy on her face disappeared. Anyone would be unhappy to hear that their father was being targeted!

Geng Yuepeng had long wanted to take action against the Marquis of Anping's residence, but he was too busy due to his serious injuries and the frequent attacks on his base from various forces. He was so busy that he had to work despite his illness!

Now that I'm mostly recovered and have more energy, I feel a bit more free and have started to get active again!

Without a doubt, the next target will be her!

The Marquis of Anping's residence is nothing but a facade!

Just watch, Geng Yuepeng is definitely after her!

As long as we eliminate her again, nothing will have happened!

Anyway, all the previous evidence has been wiped clean!

"Have someone tell Marquis Anping not to go out!"
