Xuechen only has me in his heart
These three maids were not the old servants of the Marquis' Mansion. They were newly recruited a while ago. Therefore, unlike the old servants of the Marquis' Mansion, they were not difficult to bribe because they still had old feelings for Su Qingli, and they were also very easy to be exposed.
Although Liu Meishuang didn't know what Fu Xuechen had experienced in the Marquis' Mansion in the past, everyone in the capital knew about it.
"Qingzhu, let's go." Su Qingli heard it clearly. Even though Fu Xuechen said that he had no interest in Liu Meishuang, Su Qingli still couldn't help feeling unhappy when she heard this.
"Miss, don't take it to heart. Even if the Prime Minister marries her, he won't necessarily allow her to bully and humiliate you."
Qingzhu still clearly remembered Qianjue’s words from two days ago.
"Qingzhu, who the Prime Minister marries has nothing to do with me. The Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place for me to stay for long. Sooner or later, I will take you away from here!"
However, Su Qingli did not trust Fu Xuechen. She and Liu Meishuang were different after all. Liu Meishuang had a long-standing friendship with Fu Xuechen, while her entanglement with Fu Xuechen came from resentment.
Personally, I think the things that accumulated over Fu Xuechen's two years in the Marquis' Mansion were layers of hatred.
"My young lady's kindness will always be in my heart. What are your plans next?" Qingzhu supported Su Qingli in leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion. Liu Meishuang was not an easy person to deal with. Her young lady could not handle her aggressiveness.
"There's always a way out. I plan to continue my sachet business."
Su Qingli invested all her capital in sachets. She couldn't do business at a loss. There was nothing wrong with these sachets and they could sell well.
Unexpectedly, she encountered those two annoying playboys causing trouble. More and more people on the street recognized her, so she had to sell her goods in a place where no one knew her.
As soon as the sky turned pale, Su Qingli got up and packed a basket of sachets. She took out a small amount of sachets and went out to test the water.
"Miss, why don't you ask me to go with you when you go out?" Qingzhu called Su Qingli, a disciple of Banyue Sect in Xiaoxiang Garden, from behind. The morning light was dim, and the faint halo shone on her plain cotton clothes.
"I have few sachets to take with me, so I won't go to crowded streets to sell them. I'll see if I can sell them in places where women often go."
Ever since her business was destroyed last time, her identity was exposed. If people discovered that she was Su Huaihai's daughter, she would definitely be condemned by everyone.
Qingzhu followed her out of the archway of Xiaoxiang Garden.
"Madam, your dress is so beautiful. You are the most beautiful in the whole house."
"Madam is naturally beautiful. She looks stunning in everything she wears."
…
Several maids surrounded Liu Meishuang and praised her highly, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
"Shame on you! She's not even half as good as you, young lady! These maids are so blind!"
Qingzhu stood up for the injustice and complained that these maids had no taste and only recognized Liu Meishuang, who was not even as good as a fish eye, and could not recognize real pearls and jade.
Su Qingli, on the other hand, calmly advised Qingzhu not to provoke Liu Meishuang, "Qingzhu, you'd better stay out of trouble. As long as the Prime Minister likes you, it has nothing to do with me. Let's go."
In fact, her heart was bleeding. It’s not that she didn’t care about these words, but she knew very well that even if she cared, what could she do?
Su Qingli and Qingzhu were about to step out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion when they heard Liu Meishuang speak rudely, "Miss Su, where are you going now? You should wait until night to go out and find a man. It's broad daylight..."
"I advise Miss Liu to be more careful with her words. I'm out on business, not like Miss Liu who's plotting to marry the Prime Minister!"
Anyone could hear that her implication was that Liu Meishuang wanted to climb up the social ladder and didn't know how to be self-reliant.
"Xuechen promised me privately that he would marry me soon and make me his legal wife, and you are simply jealous of me by saying this."
Liu Meishuang fabricated false lies to deceive and attack Su Qingli, and to sow discord between her and Fu Xuechen, which had just eased.
This trick has always worked for her.
Su Qingli sneered and calmly retorted, "The Prime Minister doesn't have me in his heart, and there's no way he can have room for you. Even if he marries you, he can still marry another woman."
Liu Meishuang was stunned when she heard this. She didn't yell at Su Qingli until she walked away, "Su Qingli, what do you mean by that? Xuechen only has me in his heart. It's impossible for him to marry another woman."
She herself didn't believe what she said, but in order to show off and provoke Su Qingli, she said it out loud.
Su Qingli heard Liu Meishuang's rebuttal from afar, and she felt more or less sad, after all, Fu Xuechen was going to marry another woman.
Qingzhu followed Su Qingli silently. Seeing that Su Qingli didn't say a word, she knew that she might be in a bad mood. "Miss, when your sachet business is prosperous and you make enough money, we can leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. It doesn't matter whether the Prime Minister marries Miss Liu or Miss Zhang."
Since I can't influence the Prime Minister's decision, I can only advise my young lady to be more open-minded and stay away from this place and people who make her sad.
"Qingzhu, you're right. We should do business properly. The Prime Minister and I are in the past. He has someone else in his heart. I should look forward to the future and not dwell on the past."
Su Qingli calmed down and stopped indulging in sadness. She was thinking about how to sell the sachets in her hand.
If you can't go to the market, then go to some teahouses and restaurants, maybe you can meet ladies who like sachets.
If she sold the sachet too cheaply, she would lose money. An ordinary girl would not be willing to spend such a small amount of money, so she wanted to try her luck.
The sound of stringed instruments and orchestras came from a restaurant. Su Qingli recognized the song being played. It was an anonymous folk music piece called "Sunset Flute and Drum", which was also the one she was most familiar with.
Looking up at the plaque with three large gold-plated characters "Wanhe Building" above her head, Su Qingli walked in with her skirt lifted.
"Sir, are you here to drink and have fun? Our shop has fine wines and delicacies for you to choose from." The waiter smiled and took out the menu of Wanhelou for Su Qingli to see.
Su Qingli looked around the hotel and said, "Your shop is quite big. I'm here to sell sachets."
"Selling sachets?" When the owner of Wanhelou heard that Su Qingli was here to sell sachets, his face immediately changed and he asked the waiter to chase the person away. "Sir, you have come to the wrong place to sell sachets. Changfu, please escort this guest out."
"Shopkeeper, please wait a moment. I can play music for free for a whole day in your restaurant. If I can help your Wanhe Restaurant attract customers, I hope you can accommodate me and let me sell sachets in your restaurant."
Su Qingli spoke sincerely, and her frank eyes revealed eager anticipation. She was just waiting for the shopkeeper to agree. She was very confident in her musical skills.
However, not all restaurants in the capital would invite musicians to play music. Only a few restaurants that were pretentious about elegance would do so.
