Chapter 17,
Su Guoer narrated everything to her in detail. Compared to the previous dynasty, the current world was much more suitable for women to survive. This was their blessing. She couldn't waste this blessing.
So she told him everything about her plan to open a local food restaurant.
He explained everything in detail, including the store location and future development, and also invited her to come to his store to play during her free time in the future. This is the kind of affection that friends who grew up together should have.
But... Cuiping didn't understand, and she really didn't understand. The look in her eyes when she looked at Su Guoer was full of helplessness.
It’s not that I have to attack Su Guoer, but...how many women can make a name for themselves in this world?
People like those Su Guoer mentioned as examples are one in a million. Not to mention how much effort they have put in before, for such a weak woman to achieve that level, luck and hard work are indispensable. Maybe she has the support of a noble person behind her.
The last sentence is the key point.
How could business be as simple as Su Guoer thought? Was passion and two thousand taels of silver really enough?
Cuiping thought that she thought things were too simple.
Seeing Su Guoer's happy face, she didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so she could only say helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, as long as you have made your decision. If you have any troubles, just come to the Duke's Mansion to find me. I will definitely help you if I can!"
Su Guoer patted her hands and said, "Just your words are enough. When my fresh food restaurant opens, I'll invite you over first!"
Cuiping teased, "Sure, then let me try our Chef Su's specialties!"
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Su Guoer sent Cuiping out the door. She had to be on duty the next day and couldn't sleep too late.
After sending Cuiping away through the side door, Su Guoer was about to close the door. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to close the door, a hand grabbed the door directly. She was so scared that she froze in place holding the wooden stick used to bolt the door. It seemed that the wooden stick would go straight to the man's head in the next second.
"Don't be afraid, it's me, the young master's servant Su Tong."
A face emerged from behind the door. It was dark at this time, and the lights couldn't illuminate his face clearly. However, she was familiar with Su Tong's voice, so the person in front of her was definitely Su Tong. But what was he doing here? This gave Su Guoer another bad feeling.
Su Tong is Master Pei's personal servant and page boy. If he came to see her, it must be the Master's wish. However, she will be leaving the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with Master Pei anymore.
Now that she saw him, she wished she could take a detour.
"What are you doing here?" Su Guoer's voice was cold and impatient.
But Su Tong was unaware of anything. She just chuckled twice and said, "My young master asked me to bring you something." After saying that, she shook the silver bag in her hand.
The silver in the bag made a crisp clinking sound.
Su Guoer quickly refused: "No, I don't have much friendship with the prince, I can't accept this thing, please send it back to him."
As she was talking, Su Guoer pushed the door open and was about to lock it.
This made Su Tong anxious, and he quickly said what the young master had told him: "Well, don't be in a hurry to close the door, Miss Su?"
"Listen to me, the young master has already said this is a reward for you, my young lady. Consider it your thank you for helping him prepare the banquet yesterday. And... well, an apology fee. I don't know why the young master wants to apologize to you, but since he said so, he must have done something wrong. So you should accept this money as compensation from the young master."
That's what I said.
Su Guoer: "I don't need any compensation from him. I have long forgotten what happened before. You should take the silver back." As she said that, she was about to close the door. Poor Su Tong could only stretch out one leg which was stuck in the gap of the door. Now she couldn't close the door, right?
Su Tong's eyes widened. "No, that won't do. The prince also said that you have to accept this money no matter what, whether it's a thank you gift or compensation. I can't take this money back, otherwise I will be criticized!"
At the end, he begged bitterly, "My dear lady, please accept it and don't make it difficult for me."
"And I heard from the people in the mansion that the young lady is going to leave the house. Having some money here would be a benefit, wouldn't it? Don't refuse it. It would be useful for emergencies, wouldn't it?"
Su Tong said the following words almost beggingly.
The prince had a bad temper. He wouldn't get angry if things weren't done right, but he would still ask him to recite thousands of words of scriptures behind his back. So he was very afraid of the prince...
After all, I have been married to Pei Yuanqi for two years.
Su Guoer naturally knew what he looked like.
He is not yet twenty years old, so he still looks like a teenager, but what about in reality?
He is a complete old fox. I don't know if it's because he works in the Imperial City Bureau, but he can use his mind in eight ways. He usually smiles at outsiders, but almost everyone who knows him is fooled by him and knows that he is a person who will not suffer any loss.
Even Su Guoer was the same, she almost drowned in the sweetness he gave her, and she was always manipulated by him when they were together on a daily basis.
Su Guoer naturally refused to accept it, so in the previous life... the two of them quarreled and fought each other, which gave rise to a strange feeling. Who could have imagined that...
Oh...it's really hard to put him in a difficult position.
Su Guoer had no choice but to take the purse and said, "Alright, go and tell your son that I have accepted the money."
Su Tong finally smiled, and she stopped holding her legs and quickly put them away, saying, "Okay! I'll go back and report to the prince first!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Su Guoer was stunned for a moment, then she sighed and locked the door.
Then he felt at a loss holding the purse in his hand.
It's called a reward, but it's too much.
It must have been around a hundred taels. How could she have been worth so much money just for a meal she'd prepared? So, Prince Pei knew she was leaving the palace, so he deliberately gave her so much extra silver to make her life easier, right?
Su Guoer thought.
But you can't think like that.
She was leaving soon, and she couldn't let her mind wander. The moment she left the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, the past would be forgotten. Right now... she couldn't let any thoughts arise that she shouldn't have.
She didn't want to go back to the same old path she had in her previous life.
Since she knew the inevitable outcome, why did she insist on going down the road of death? She wasn't that stupid.
She returned to the house carrying the silver bag. The lights were off, so she took off her coat and went to bed early. However, she tossed and turned on the bed for about a quarter of an hour before she fell asleep. Let's not talk about this for now.
