Chapter 057 It Was You That Day

Chen Xuan staggered out, feeling sad in her heart.

What has she been trying to achieve all these years... In order to prove herself, to make her family and outsiders look up to her, she has been working like a slave and cleaning up the mess for this useless brother.

Because of her mother's crying, and for the sake of face in the village, she confronted Shen Ning, even though she was taken advantage of by the turtle spirit, just to vent her anger.

But what did she get in the end?

Did her family value her and think highly of her? Did others respect her?

One hundred taels... Where could she find one hundred taels?

But she didn't want to find a solution, and her mother knelt down to her desperately... What on earth had she been living for all these years?

But she is her mother after all!

Chen Xuan thought of the young lady's makeup box. Many of the jewelry in it had not been touched for a long time. If she secretly took a few away, she could easily collect enough money.

The lady trusts her... just this time, just this once!

By the time the young lady found out, she might have already entered Qingfeng Courtyard. The turtle spirit had promised her that she couldn't let that disgusting and ugly thing take advantage of her for nothing.

When she returned to her master's house, the maid who lived with her was a little surprised that Chen Xuan came back early on the only day off this month. Chen Xuan forced a smile and made an excuse that she was bored at home and it would be better to come back so that she could talk to everyone, and she also missed the young lady.

Xu Ying, the third daughter of the Xu family's eldest wife, was naturally happy that this useful maid had returned early, and she even rewarded Chen Xuan with half a plate of canned food that she had left over.

Chen Xuan was eating the sweet canned food, and while eating, she felt very resentful.

She knew that canning was Shen Ning's livelihood. Although Shen Ning also worked for that shopkeeper Su, she could still make a lot of money.

Why?

They grew up together and had a gambler father, but Shen Ning was better off than her and someone proposed to her early on.

She had taken a fancy to Zhao Mu at first and secretly approached him to ask him to propose marriage, but the dull and silent man did not respond and instead spent a lot of money to buy Chen Ning.

It’s just that face!

That Chen Ning was restless and shameless in flirting with Pei Yuanzhou. Seeing that her reputation was about to be ruined, she relied on her medical skills to redeem it. Now she can also do business and make money!

In fact, Chen Xuan originally just wanted people to ostracize and bully Chen Ning, but after she knew that Chen Ning could make money, she could no longer suppress her jealousy, which led to the instigation of people to climb over the wall and humiliate Chen Ning.

Why should she be taken advantage of by a disgusting bastard just because she wants to live a better life, while Chen Ning, a widow, can live better than her... She just hates that the bastard didn't succeed!

But it doesn't matter, she will be able to enter Qingfengyuan soon.

The second young master of Qingfeng Courtyard is handsome, gentle and good-tempered. He has been quite kind to her every time they met. If she can climb into the second young master's bed, who will dare to look down on her in the future!

Just some jewelry...

Chen Xuan put the jewelry that the young lady rarely used into her sleeves and walked outside, suppressing her panic.

As long as I go out, as long as I go out the back door, everything will be fine.

But at this moment, a figure rushed over from the side: "Sister Xuan, let's go fly a kite..."

Miss Xu Ying bumped into Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan was already nervous, and she heard a loud bang, and the gold bracelet fell to the ground.

Xu Ying was startled for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned cold: "Bitch, how dare you steal my things!"

Chen Xuan knelt down and kowtowed: "This servant was confused for a moment, please forgive me, please, please."

However, the little girl who always called her sister sweetly in the past changed her attitude with a sneer: "Greedy slave, isn't this good enough for you? How dare you steal my things... Come here!"

The mole-faced steward bowed his head and flattered: "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"If she dares to steal, break her arms and throw her out!"

Chen Xuan kept shouting: "Miss, please spare me, please spare me..."

However, the sweet and seemingly innocent young lady had a cold face, and none of the maids who were on good terms with her said a word... The ugly steward who had taken advantage of her countless times mercilessly ordered the guards to hold her down.

"beat!"

With a bang, Chen Xuan let out a shrill scream, and her whole body trembled and curled up like a shrimp...

Chen Xuan's arm was broken, and Shen Qingsong, who owed the gambling house one hundred taels, had one hand chopped off. Chen Ning heard the news from August and sighed softly.

Ever since August told her that the incident on Lindou Street was caused by Chen Xuan, she decided not to let this family go.

There had been grudges in the past, and she didn't want to be too ruthless, but she didn't expect that she would be hated by others instead.

It would be bad enough if she just excluded him, but she also let the lecher climb over her wall. She could do such a despicable thing, so why should she be polite?

She just asked August to disguise himself as a gangster and lend Shen Qingsong one or two taels of silver, which allowed him to win five or two taels of silver in the gambling house... She did not interfere in what happened after that.

However, she also knew that with the family's style of doing things, as long as Shen Qingsong entered the big gambling house in the city, they would have no good days.

Chen Xuan was quite brave and stole things from the master's house, but unfortunately she was caught red-handed.

A servant who steals from the master's house can forget about finding another employer. Dong Chunhua has lost her daughter, who was the head maid and supported the family, and her son is disabled... I guess this family no longer has the energy to harass her.

Everything was going well for Su Lianyi. Shen Ning was in a good mood and lazily lay on a lounge chair in the yard with her eyes closed to rest.

Autumn is approaching, and the canned food business won't last long. I have to expand the scale in the last few times, make more and refrigerate it in the ice cellar, and then start doing other things.

She had already purchased a lot of flower petals, beeswax and other things, and was preparing to make a batch of things first.

Perfume, soap, ointment, and lipstick... these are not difficult to make, especially the lipstick in this world. Although there are many "color numbers", due to production process and material problems, the color variety is not enough, and most importantly, the color does not last long enough.

There are other things too, but they are not very good.

The most important thing is perfume. This world uses incense, which is too expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has a monotonous smell. Once the perfume is made, there will be no worries about selling it.

Moreover, the sea market will soon open, and by then, French merchants who like to do business overseas will definitely arrive.

At that time, those people had not yet produced perfume and were advocating the "no-bathing" culture. Once the perfume was produced, it would definitely attract those people.

After the perfume is made, it needs to be left to age. So, it’s time to get started…

By the way, there is also her "Thirteen Spices". She can make a large batch of Thirteen Spices and sell them at a high price to the Koreans who have a monotonous diet, making a lot of money from them.

Not bad, not bad, let’s get started!

The workshop is located in the two newly purchased farms. Coincidentally, the two farms are close to each other, and the raw materials for these things have a lot of overlap, making the operation and allocation convenient...

When Xiao Nanchen walked into the yard, he saw a person sleeping with his eyes closed on a lounge chair under a tree. He was stunned at first, and then, as if possessed by a ghost, he walked slowly towards the person without making any sound.

After not seeing her for half a month, she seemed to have changed a little.

A seventeen-year-old girl is at the age of growing up... In the past few months, she has been away from the wind and sun and has lived a comfortable life with careful care. Unknowingly, her face has become more delicate day by day.

Lying on the lounge chair, the light green long dress was refreshing, making her face look even fairer and more delicate. Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes were long and thick. Her hands hanging on the side of the lounge chair were also slender and white...

Xiao Nanchen looked away and was about to speak when a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

It is January.

The young man had grown quite a bit taller in the past few months. He frowned as he looked at Xiao Nanchen, who was also his half-master, and whispered, "That day in Lanyuan... it was you."

They had fought before, even if it was only for a moment, but Yuan Yue had excellent eyesight due to the rigorous training from childhood to adulthood.

Even if he didn't see the face, the figure alone was enough for him to recognize him.

Xiao Nanchen raised his eyebrows and looked back at the young guard that Shen Ning had picked up. He glanced at the sleeping Shen Ning and lowered his voice to a very low level, with a hint of a smile: "So?"

Yuan Yue's expression was cold: "I won't hide it."

It means to tell Shen Ning.

Xiao Nanchen was actually a little annoyed. He knew that his behavior that day was a bit bad... but it was all to scare this ignorant woman.

But she already had other feelings for him, and if she misunderstood, it would be even more difficult for her to control herself.

Xiao Nanchen sighed silently, then said, "If it had been someone else that day...what would you have done?"

"You can't always protect her. It's more important to let her understand the pros and cons herself and not go to places with hidden dangers."

His Royal Highness Prince Ding said frankly, "I was trying to scare her, of course. She's been much more obedient and careful lately, always bringing people with her wherever she goes... If you want to tell her, just go and tell her yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Shen Ning without caring, calling out loudly: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."

Shen Ning suddenly woke up and sat up still a little confused: "Why did I fall asleep!"

I'm obviously thinking about making money...

It's too unmotivated!
