Li Tingxue, who was standing by, saw this and gave Chen Xiuyan a look without hesitation. He chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and whispered in his ear:
"Hmph, aren't you being too happy too soon? Don't forget, you still have a lot of messy things piled up on you that you haven't dealt with yet, and you still have time to laugh at other people's jokes?"
After hearing what Li Tingxue said, the trace of gloating that had just appeared on Shen Xiuyan's face immediately disappeared.
Shen Xiuyan sighed helplessly, muttering in his heart: "Alas! Yes, this Situ Junwen matter, I haven't completely solved it yet, and it seems... thinking about it really gives him a headache!"
It's not that Shen Xiuyan didn't do anything, but the Anyang Palace was not a pushover. He had to be more cautious in his actions and not let them and their son notice his actions.
Otherwise, he was really worried that Situ Junwen and his son would eventually become desperate and launch a final crazy counterattack, doing something desperate that would hurt both sides and lead to a complete destruction.
This would be a very tricky situation. After all, he has a wife, children and elderly people at home who need to be taken care of. He really doesn't dare to take the risk and gamble easily!
“A-choo——”
“A-choo——”
“A-choo——”
At this moment, Shen Xiujin, who was sitting at the desk and concentrating on looking through the account book, suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
He couldn't help but stop what he was doing, stretched out his right hand and gently rubbed his sore nose, muttering to himself, "Who must be secretly whispering about me again?"
As the end of each month approached, Shen Xiujin would check the accounts as usual. So during this period of time, he would spend time almost every day to carefully check every account.
At this moment, the shopkeeper had just brought a pot of hot tea to Shen Xiujin, and immediately escaped quickly, and quickly instructed the steward to go to Xu Ji Meat Pie Shop in the south of the city to buy a crispy meat pie for the second master.
The manager felt overwhelmed when he heard this, but it was not easy to disobey the shopkeeper, so he could only nod and agree quickly.
It's really strange. According to common sense, small errands like this have always been handled by other guys in the store.
But who would have thought that at this time today, for some reason, everyone seemed to be extremely busy.
So, the errand job naturally fell on Su Qianqian, who came to the store to help out.
"Ah? You actually asked me to go?"
When Su Qianqian heard the manager call her name and asked her to buy meat patties, she was stunned for a moment. Her big eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: I'm just a temporary worker who came here to work for a few days, why is it my turn to do this?
However, the manager ignored Su Qianqian's surprise and confusion. He just glanced at Su Qianqian from the corner of his eye, with a hint of impatience on his face.
He then urged in a rather stiff tone: With a hint of impatience on his face, he urged:
"Yes, I'm talking about you! Do I need to repeat it to you again? Don't you see that everyone else is so busy that they have no place to stay?
Move quickly, don't drag your feet, our boss is eagerly waiting to eat the meat pie!"
"But...but, this isn't my job, is it?"
The manager glared at Su Qianqian and snorted coldly, "What's the use of you and me? Once you come to work in our shop, you have to do all the work. Believe it or not, I'll let you go right now."
When Su Qianqian heard the manager's threatening words, she immediately dared not say anything.
She made such a fool of herself in front of the Second Young Master yesterday. It was so humiliating that she didn't want to appear in front of him these days. Therefore, she found a temporary worker. She couldn't lose this job, otherwise she would really have to sleep on the streets.
There was no choice, Su Qianqian could only walk out of the jewelry shop on an empty stomach and quickly head towards the south of the city.
The steward heaved a sigh of relief after seeing her leave.
Oh no! Every time the Second Master looked at the account book, he would lose his temper, and everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to offend him at this time.
But for some reason, as long as he ate the Nancheng Xuji meat pie, his mood would be a little better. However, the master still would not take the initiative to approach him. Otherwise, this good opportunity of currying favor with the master would not be her turn. She was simply dreaming!
Su Qianqian walked for half a minute before reaching Xu Ji Meat Pie Shop. Looking at the golden, crispy and fragrant meat patties, she felt even hungrier.
Five cents a piece. Just when she was about to use the money to buy the meat pie, she forgot that she had come in a hurry to buy the meat pie but forgot to ask the manager for money.
Su Qianqian touched the copper coins on her body and sighed silently. Her pocket was so poor that only the jingle coins were left. She took them out reluctantly and counted them carefully twice, but there were still only ten.
Alas! The poverty I experienced during my travels not only limited my imagination, but also my mouth.
She was now so poor that she only had the northwest wind to live on, and she was so hungry that she was too lazy to even make a sound.
Su Qianqian gritted her teeth, waved her hand, and bought two meat patties without leaving a penny. After all, she was giving them to the man she liked, so she was still very generous.
However, when she smelled the aroma of meat, she felt even hungrier! The evil ancient times made it difficult for her to gain weight!
Su Qianqian didn't even dare to take a deep breath at this moment, for fear that the meat pie would smell so delicious that she would not be able to resist eating it secretly.
It was such a coincidence that after Su Qianqian bought the meat pies, she saw the car from Xuanhua Marquis Mansion passing by her.
However, the next second, the carriage stopped and a voice came from the carriage.
"Oh, what a coincidence? Su Qianqian, why are you here?
Jiang Mianmian saw Su Qianqian on the street while she was sitting in the car. It was not because she was pretty, but because she was too dazzling. The golden light on her head was hard for her to ignore.
Oh wow, what a coincidence! She had come out to try her luck, but unexpectedly, she ran into Su Qianqian not long after leaving the house. This was truly fate, wasn't it?
Haha... I can eat today’s “melon”!
Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment. When she saw it was Jiang Mianmian, she was stunned for a moment. Then her face flushed. She chuckled twice and quickly said, "Madam, hello?"
She didn't expect that she would run into the old lady just when she went out to buy a meat pie, and was even seen by her. Now she can forget about her job in the Marquis' Mansion. What a damn fate!
