Are you jealous that Xuechen treats me well?
After all, Liu Meishuang is going to be Fu Xuechen's future wife.
And after she paid off the debt of three thousand taels of silver, she should leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and never see Fu Xuechen again.
Thinking of this, Su Qingli's nails dug deep into the flesh, leaving a bloody mark.
"Miss, let's go back." Qingzhu held the oil-paper fan in his hand and felt that Su Qingli was trying to show off.
Su Qingli nodded vigorously, turned around and left with Qingzhu. She had no intention of witnessing the following scenes because she knew that Fu Xuechen cherished Liu Meishuang.
She walked back to the side yard in a daze, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Her body was overwhelmed by the pain. She sat back on the bed, her mind full of business matters. "Qingzhu, please wash the sachets and make sure to collect them. We will go to town to sell them in a few days."
Qingzhu was still in shock. The damage done by Li Que and Gu Jiuxiao was still fresh in his mind. It was hard to say whether this business could continue.
"Miss, you should rest assured and take care of yourself. Leave the matter of the sachets to me. I can go to the town to sell the sachets on your behalf and ask Xiaoxiang to come with you." Qingzhu knew that Su Qingli should not show up in public again. What if she ran into those two playboys again?
Su Qingli understood that Qingzhu had good intentions, but she would eventually have to face the dangers of the world and could not hide in the Prime Minister's Mansion for the rest of her life.
Settling down again and starting over is what Su Qingli has decided to do.
"Qingzhu, I have to go out and sell the sachets. I'm a businessman. If the streets still can't accommodate me, there's always a place in the world where I can sell sachets. In short, I won't let Xiaoxiang's efforts go to waste!"
Su Qingli has made up her mind. For herself and her family, she will embark on the road of business, no matter how many thorns lie ahead.
Qingzhu stopped trying to persuade her, as she knew that the young lady's decision could not be changed.
"Miss Su, the Prime Minister is calling you to the banquet."
Qian Jue conveyed Fu Xuechen's words outside the door.
Su Qingli agreed straightforwardly, "I'll be there right away."
"Is the Prime Minister going to make things difficult for Miss again?" Qingzhu complained and muttered a few words.
"No problem. We don't have to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion for long. Once we can collect the three thousand taels of silver, we'll redeem you and you too."
Su Qingli looked determined. No matter how big the storm was, she would get through it.
Qingzhu quickly declined, "As long as the young lady can escape from the sea of suffering, I will be satisfied. You don't need to spend money on me."
"Are you afraid that I won't be successful in business and won't have the money to redeem you?" Su Qingli asked with a smile.
"That's not what I meant." Qingzhu shook her head and waved her hands.
"That's good. Come and help me dress up. I can't meet people like this, otherwise the Prime Minister will blame me for bringing shame to his Prime Minister's Mansion." Su Qingli pulled her lips into a wry smile and sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
Qingzhu immediately dressed her up, combed her hair into a beautiful bun, fixed it lightly with a hairpin, and inserted a golden hairpin into her hair.
The makeup is light and clean, and she wears a dress that is slightly bright but not too eye-catching.
Everything was ready. Qingzhu followed Su Qingli to the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was filled with guests.
An endless stream of guests presented countless gifts, piling up into a small mountain taller than a person in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Qing Zhu was stunned. "Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion is really grand."
Su Qingli concealed her disappointment and smiled, "Don't make a fuss. Miss Liu is the Prime Minister's sweetheart. This is her first time at the Prime Minister's residence, so it's understandable that the Prime Minister held such a grand welcoming banquet for her."
Fu Xuechen heard this from afar, paused, and then went somewhere else to greet the guests.
"Miss Su, I'm too busy here, please come over and give me a hand."
As soon as Liu Meishuang saw Su Qingli present, she immediately came up with a plan. She called Su Qingli over and ordered her to come and do the work of a servant.
Qingzhu frowned and continued, "Miss Liu, let me help you."
Liu Meishuang came for Su Qingli and refused to give up. "Qingzhu, you alone are not enough. Bring Miss Su over to help as well."
"Miss Liu, today is the welcoming banquet held for you by the Prime Minister. It is only natural for me to help you." Su Qingli pretended to be magnanimous, smiled slightly, and agreed.
"You and Qingzhu should take these dishes to the guest table over there. Be careful not to bump into the distinguished guests." Liu Meishuang warned Su Qingli loudly. Seeing Su Qingli doing the servant's work, she raised her eyebrows and laughed happily.
The banquet was held in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was spacious and could accommodate dozens of banquet tables.
Su Qingli seemed to be enjoying it, and entertained the guests who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a smile on her face. All these actions fell into the eyes of Fu Xuechen.
Originally, Fu Xuechen wanted to test whether Su Qingli would be jealous of this, but Su Qingli looked indifferent. He raised his head in dissatisfaction and took a big gulp of wine.
Liu Meishuang glanced at Su Qingli and saw that she was serving tea and water to the guests very smoothly, and it was not difficult for her at all.
She originally wanted to see Su Qingli make a fool of herself, but Su Qingli didn't make any mistakes.
Li Que and Gu Jiuxiao, two dandies, were also among them. "Miss Liu, is this Miss Su a servant in your Prime Minister's residence?"
Liu Meishuang nodded slightly. She noticed the vulgarity in Li Que's eyes and said, "That's right. Are the two gentlemen interested in her?"
"She's just a servant, but she's very unusual in appearance. I wonder if Miss Liu is willing to help us make this happen."
Li Que failed twice, and when he saw Su Qingli again, how could he let her go?
What's more, with Liu Meishuang's help this time, he just doesn't believe that he can't defeat Su Qingli.
Liu Meishuang smiled knowingly, "I'm just a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you two like, just ask. I promise to help you achieve your wish."
Gu Jiuxiao smiled, "Miss Liu is really generous."
All the conversations between the few people fell into Su Qingli's ears. While they were whispering to each other, she paid attention to what they were talking about.
Gu Jiuxiao and Li Que are a pair of dandies with beastly hearts. They look like decent people but they do all kinds of bad things.
This Liu Meishuang is also hateful. She knocked her out, and she hasn't settled the score with Liu Meishuang yet, but Liu Meishuang actually colluded with these two playboys.
This was intolerable. Su Qingli quickly walked past them and spilled all the wine on Liu Meishuang's gorgeous clothes. "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I didn't mean it."
"I think you did it on purpose! Xuechen had this dress specially tailored for me. Are you coveting Xuechen and jealous of how nice he is to me?"
Liu Mei's eyebrows were filled with anger and she glared at Su Qingli fiercely.
Her beautiful dress was ruined just like that. Today was her welcoming party, and it was obvious that Su Qingli did it on purpose.
"Miss Liu, that's not right. I have no improper thoughts about the Prime Minister. But these two gentlemen beside you..."
