Miss Su is really hungry and will eat anything
Fu Xuechen gave her a look, signaling her to go down, and Qingzhu quietly retreated.
Perhaps not used to the absence of Qingzhu's chatter, Su Qingli closed her eyelids and asked lazily, "Qingzhu, what time is it now?"
"Miss Su is really hungry and will not choose her food. She won't even let go of you, the old man." Fu Xuechen supported his hands on the railings on both sides of the recliner, put his face close to Su Qingli, and opened his mouth to make merciless sarcasm, his eyes as sharp as an eagle sharpening a knife.
Su Qingli opened her eyes quickly, looking at the person in front of her with fear, feeling a little guilty, her heart pounding wildly: "Master Prime Minister, why are you here?"
"Aren't you short of money?" Fu Xuechen said coldly, throwing a stack of banknotes at her head: "Miss Su is shameless, but I still have some dignity!"
"No merit, no reward. What do you mean by this, Prime Minister? I used a fake name, and it will definitely not affect the reputation of the Prime Minister's Office."
Su Qingli didn't know why. She didn't use her real name, so it was impossible for her to damage Fu Xuechen's reputation.
Fu Xuechen sneered, his dark eyes flashing with cold light as he stared at Su Qingli and asked, "Didn't you say you were doing business? Why did you come to the Qi Mansion? What kind of business is it?"
"I..." Su Qingli hesitated. There were some things that didn't need to be explained to Fu Xuechen clearly. They weren't something to be hidden from the public. But from Fu Xuechen's words, it seemed like there was a huge misunderstanding. "I came to the Qi Mansion to teach piano and earn some money by my own efforts. What's wrong with that?"
After speaking frankly, she sorted out the scattered banknotes on her body, folded them neatly, and returned them to Fu Xuechen with both hands.
She was short of money and owed two people money, but she didn't want to owe Fu Xuechen anymore.
Fu Xuechen took it with a guilty conscience, trying to cover up his previous panicked misjudgment. He snorted coldly, "Stop the classes at the Qi Mansion. I'll pay for your food, clothing, and other expenses while you live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You don't have to earn money outside. Although I'm not as corrupt as your father, the salary His Majesty pays me is not small."
"Having said that, if the Prime Minister gets tired of playing with me one day and wants to kick me out, I'll be penniless. How can I survive in this world?"
Su Qingli didn't mention her family at all. She knew that Fu Xuechen hated them and didn't dare to use his money to supplement the family expenses and touch his reverse scale.
"Is it possible that your sachet business can no longer be run?" Fu Xuechen frowned and agreed to let Su Qingli go out to do the sachet business because Su Qingli threatened to commit suicide, so he had to agree.
But she actually went a step further and came to the Qi Mansion to be a private tutor without his permission.
Su Qingli could sense the hostility emanating from him and could only answer truthfully, "You could say yes, and you could say no. Xiaoxiang is too busy to handle the embroidery work alone. I need to earn money myself to hire an embroiderer to work with Xiaoxiang."
"You're doing this business just to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible and live a happy life with General Xie. If you're lying to yourself, it's fine. Lying to me is too lame!"
Fu Xuechen glared at Su Qingli, the surging anger in his chest was brewing and ready to burst out at any time.
"Master Prime Minister, you can turn the clouds with your left hand and the rain with your right hand. How can I, a weak woman with no one to rely on, escape from your palm? Do you lack the confidence to compete with the General's Mansion? I don't think the General's Mansion will stand up for the Su family."
Su Qingli knew that men were all very concerned about their reputation and loved to fight and grab things. She felt like she had fallen to the bottom of the valley, like a piece of meat that could highlight the men's fighting game.
In the past, she had the support of the Marquis' Mansion, and no man dared to offend her or go against her wishes. But now, almost any man can treat her as a dish.
Fu Xuechen had no way to refute it for the moment, and he uttered a few short words in displeasure and coldness: "Smooth talker!"
"Master Prime Minister, you promised me that you would allow me to start a sachet business. I became a tutor only to shorten the time it takes to make sachets and sell the second batch of sachets as soon as possible."
Su Qingli became increasingly calm. She couldn't resist Fu Xuechen stubbornly, so she could only talk back without any effect.
As long as she hadn't paid back the three thousand taels of silver, she had no right to confront Fu Xuechen with such a tough attitude. Moreover, given Fu Xuechen's current status and identity, she couldn't go against him even if he had returned the money.
She also had to protect her loved ones and would never dare to risk their lives. Offending Fu Xuechen would not be worth it.
Fu Xuechen lifted Su Qingli's chin with his fingers, and said in a sinister and fierce tone: "You'd better behave yourself and don't play any tricks, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"Master Prime Minister, this is Miss Jiang, my female tutor. I don't know why she offended you. Please be kind and let her go."
A wheelchair slowly rolled over from a distance. Sitting in the wheelchair was Qi Jinqian, the sixth son of the Qi family, the Queen's youngest brother and the youngest son of Minister Qi.
This boy is twenty-two years old and in the prime of his life. His biggest flaw is a disability. He is married and has a thirteen-year-old daughter.
Fu Xuechen loosened his grip upon hearing this. Su Qingli took advantage of his distraction to step back a few steps, head hung in embarrassment. "Sixth Young Master, why are you here? I've already apologized to the Prime Minister, but he didn't seem to appreciate it."
"Since Brother Qi is pleading for you, I will do Brother Qi a favor and spare your life!" Fu Xuechen glared at Su Qingli and cooperated with Su Qingli in acting. He never exposed Su Qingli and insisted on taking her away.
The lesson from the previous incident was still fresh in his mind. Although Fu Xuechen spoke rapidly, he had his own thoughts in mind.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, and please accompany me to tour my house. This is your first time here, and you are my honored guest. I should treat you well. If I have been inadequate in my hospitality, please forgive me."
Qi Jinqian spoke very carefully and tactfully, and his handsome face always had a kind and friendly smile on his face.
"Sixth Young Master, please take me to visit your mansion." Fu Xuechen paced with his hands behind his back and followed Qi Jinqian out of here.
"Miss, it was a close call at first. I was sweating for you. The Prime Minister is really elusive. How could he come to the Qi Mansion?" Qingzhu's clothes on the back were soaked with sweat.
"He's trying to prevent me from being unfaithful and having an affair, which would bring shame on him and make him, a noble man, unable to hold his head up high."
As Su Qingli thought about Fu Xuechen's warning word by word, her chest felt cold and a chill penetrated her lungs. Her decision to stay away from Fu Xuechen became increasingly firm.
"So, our every move is being monitored by the Prime Minister?" Qingzhu felt a sense of fear when he thought of this and took a breath.
Su Qingli did not comment. In about half an hour, it would be time to teach her the art of playing the zither.
Qi Caiyao, about twelve or thirteen years old, came over gracefully, holding a bouquet of bright flowers. "Sister Jiang, my sixth uncle's people came to tell me that they just helped you out, and asked me to come and comfort you. Are you okay?"
