After the three men had been given ten strokes of the cane, the old women finally released them.

The three men limped away until they reached a secluded alley.

There was another boy lying on the ground in the alley.

He opened his eyes only when he sensed someone approaching.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The boy immediately sat up from the ground.

Although he said he cared, he didn't move an inch.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "It's all this good-for-nothing's fault. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten beaten up."

The woman glanced at her daughter and saw her tearful face, which made her furious.

"What a useless thing. I should have sold you to a brothel on the way. That way, I could have made a lot of money."

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I've lost out.

The little girl trembled instantly when she heard her mother say that.

She was proud and thought that all the old ladies in the village praised her as the village beauty.

And there wasn't a single woman in the surrounding area who was prettier than her.

Based on her looks alone, she should naturally marry into a wealthy family.

If she were sold into a brothel, she would never escape this quagmire for the rest of her life.

“Mother, this is because you heard on the road that the young princess is kind, so you wanted to deceive her.”

But given his young age, the fact that he could become the Imperial Preceptor and gain the Emperor's favor shows he must be intelligent.

How could we, as farmers, possibly handle such a situation?

When the woman heard her daughter say that, she stepped forward and slapped her again.

"You mean you're blaming me?"

Didn't you say this was something you could accomplish?

"I'll give you three more days. If you still can't find a suitable person to climb up to, don't blame me for selling you into a brothel."

The little girl nodded repeatedly when she heard her mother say that.

In three days, I'll find myself in this vast capital city with its many wealthy families.

Once I find it, I'll never have to be afraid of this family again.

Thinking this to myself, the corners of my mouth instantly turned up.

The little boy sitting on the luggage looked like a girl, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

This woman can not only have fun, but also earn money to marry a new wife.

very nice!

As soon as Grandma Su went up to the second floor, she saw Su Muyao pouting and sitting in a chair.

Seeing Su Muyao's appearance, Old Mrs. Su knew something was wrong.

Then Su Muyao's voice rang out: "Grandma, is it because Yaoyao did something wrong? That's why you want another granddaughter."

After Su Muyao finished speaking, her eyes turned red as she looked at the old lady.

"Oh my, my precious darling, you're the only granddaughter I have in my life, why would I need any other granddaughters?"

The old lady doted on her little granddaughter, who usually acted like a little adult.

She's never caused me any worry since she was little; on the contrary, this little girl is the one who takes care of everything at home.

They are also extremely capable.

Seeing her looking like she was about to cry broke her heart.

Su Muyao snorted: "But she calls you Grandma Su."

I'm so unlucky! (｀Δ′) I haven't seen Grandma for a few days, and now someone's already trying to take her away from me.

As Su Muyao spoke, her voice trailed off into sobs.

This startled the old lady, who quickly hugged Su Muyao and gently comforted her.

"My sweet baby is the best. Grandma only has one granddaughter in her life, so don't cry."

Immediately afterwards, Grandma Su kept coaxing Su Muyao.

He said all sorts of nice things before he finally managed to coax Su Muyao into submission.

The old lady felt her mouth was dry from talking so much, and only after seeing that her granddaughter was better did she finally sigh in her heart.

I finally managed to calm this little devil down. If he had cried, I don't know how much I would have felt sorry for him!

After exchanging pleasantries with Su Muyao for a while, he went downstairs to return home.

Su Muyao chuckled softly after seeing the old lady out the door.

"You little old lady, I can't handle you anymore!"

Su Muyao turned back into the restaurant and watched them still preparing the dishes.

Especially those guys, they can't handle eating vegetables properly, but they can manage meat skewers.

Each person carried a large iron basin filled to the brim with small, chopped, marinated pieces of meat.

Each person skewers a piece of meat, then puts it in a bag and freezes it.

Su Muyao saw that they had large basins full of clothes, but thinking that with the opening tomorrow, the clothes worn today might be sold out by tomorrow.

Arriving at them, looking at the greenhouse which was still about half full, he said, "Finish these clothes and put them in the freezer."

It's getting late, so let's head back early. We need to come back early tomorrow to start business!

The others nodded in agreement when they heard the little princess say that.

Su Muyao went up to the second floor and gave each person a watermelon and three honeydew melons.

They carried it downstairs again and again.

The men who were still making meat skewers looked at the little princess and knew that this thing was definitely meant for them.

Sure enough, just as this thought crossed my mind, I heard the little princess's voice.

"Turn off the lights when you leave. Also, give each of you a bag of watermelon and honeydew melon to take back with you. And please lock the door for me when you leave."

I have to head back now. The person who locked the door, please come open it a little earlier tomorrow morning.

After saying her piece, Su Muyao yawned and bid them farewell.

"Don't worry, little princess, I'll lock the door later. Please drive carefully."

Su Muyao nodded and then left.

Have you ever tried honeydew melon?

The remaining Chinese characters shook their heads.

"Let me tell you, this honeydew melon is very expensive."

You all know our little princess's milk tea shop, right? This honeydew melon is just a tiny bit chopped up.

"Put these fruit pieces into the tea water, and guess how much it will cost?"

The others stared wide-eyed at this, signaling him to continue.

"I bet you guys don't know either, but I heard it's called some new product, and there's some white stuff on it."

"This will only sell for one tael of silver!"

When the others heard him say that, they all gasped in shock.

"So that means this is a genuinely valuable item!"

The man who first suggested locking the door nodded.

"Of course! This stuff is even more expensive than a watermelon!"

When this watermelon first came to be sold in the capital, there was only one of these, and it cost 20 taels of silver.

"If you're willing to eat even a single bite of this, you're probably just thinking about how many copper coins it will cost."

The others nodded in agreement. Such precious things could only be eaten by the children at home.

These roughnecks would only take a bite or two at most.

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up. That's all we have. Once we're dressed, we'll head back."

We need to come earlier tomorrow!
