The young man was irritated by Xia Daohua. He panted for a long time and pointed at the candy jar on the cabinet opposite him with a snort: "Wrap these up for me!"
Xia Daohua smiled and dissuaded him, "Sir, these candies are not only made of genuine ingredients, but also exquisitely crafted and delicious. They are suitable for friends of all ages and are also great as gifts. They are truly high-end, classy, understated, luxurious, and profound... hence the high price."
I nodded at him implicitly and was about to continue:
"If you're just trying something new, or just trying to show off, it's not appropriate to buy so much at once."
Unexpectedly, the young man, like a provoked cricket, angrily took out a large ingot of silver, and roared with his eyes and nostrils spitting fire, "Wrap it all up!"
Xia Daohua stepped back slightly, avoiding a wave of anger, and continued fearlessly, "Then this ingot of silver is not enough!"
The boy felt around his body again, but unfortunately, what was left was less than this one ingot. Seeing Xia Daohua's sympathetic look, he actually cried out "Wow" and rushed out.
Xia Daohua felt a little confused.
How could such a kid come to our store?
This time, the child suffered such a great injustice in his own store and was accidentally angered and ran away. Will the adults in his family suddenly appear from some corner?
Xia Daohua was happily imagining things when she heard the sound of the welcoming wind chimes at the door of Daohuaxiang's shop. She looked up and found that the young man had come back with a red face and sniffling, and his eyes were a little red. It seemed that he had really cried.
The young man was accompanied by a girl with a slender figure and a round face. Xia Daohua took a closer look and felt that she looked somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, but she recognized her - the girl was actually Helan Yue!
It has been a long time since I last met Helan Yue at the flower viewing banquet hosted by the Wang family.
Could this young man be her relative or friend?
Xia Daohua was about to speak when she saw Helan Yue bowing to her without hesitation:
"Madam Xia, my cousin didn't know the real situation and mistakenly thought you were a bad person. I apologize to you on his behalf. My cousin was very rude just now. I'm sorry!"
A servant and a maid who followed them in were extremely surprised. They wanted to step forward to stop them but didn't dare. They couldn't help but look at Xia Daohua.
Xia Daohua was just wondering about the relationship between Helan Yue and the young man, but she didn't expect Helan Yue to be so quick and decisive. She hurried forward to help her up:
"Madam Helan, why are you doing this? My shop is open for business, and everyone who comes is a guest. How can I fail to treat my guests well and ask them to apologize?"
Helan Yue stood up with Xia Daohua's help, looked at her intently and said, "Madam Xia, let me explain it to you slowly."
She tugged at the boy's sleeve, revealing a pleading look:
"Cousin, you really misunderstood. When my cousin left, Madam Xia was very helpful. She was the only friend besides me who went to see my cousin off."
Speaking of this, Helan Yue choked up a little.
She endured it, held back her tears, turned her gaze, and said to Xia Daohua, "This is my cousin Murong Qian."
Xia Daohua was stunned for a moment. Murong family?
Isn’t that Li Gan’s maternal family?
So, Helan Yue and the Murong family are actually related?
That means Li Gan and Xie Fanglan are actually relatives?
Li Gan was punished to kneel at the palace gate. Was it because he was implicated by the Xie family?
No, that's not right. Didn't Li Gan's subordinate, Li Shitou or Li Shisuo, say that Li Gan was punished to kneel before receiving the evidence?
Xia Daohua's mind was racing when she heard Helan Yue continue speaking:
"Cousin Qian heard from somewhere that Madam Xia is an unregistered servant of the Murong family. She opened a shop for them, but she's usually very arrogant. She never visits the Murong family, and she never sends gifts to them...
I don't know where I heard some mean-spirited person say that the trouble with my cousin Xie Fanglan's family was because she helped Madam Xia and purchased a lot of things from your store, which ended up offending Madam Xia's enemies..."
As Helan Yue spoke, she stole a glance at Xia Daohua's expression.
Xia Daohua's expression suddenly became serious.
Where did this rumor come from?
If it came from the Helan family, then they might just want to seize their own property and be jealous of the profits of "Daohuaxiang".
If it comes from the Murong family, then it will be a big trouble.
If this rumor came from the Murong family, then it means that the Murong family is no longer united, and some people are not in agreement with them and are no longer willing to help Li Gan.
Doesn’t that mean that Li Gan’s current situation is very dangerous?
After Xia Daohua traveled through time, every time she met Li Gan, she almost always got benefits from him.
Li Gan can really be considered a customer of pretty good quality.
Moreover, he treated himself equally, without the arrogance of the powerful who looked upon common people as if they were ants or grass.
Nor will I feel contempt for others just because I am "too young" or "just a little girl".
I have already regarded Li Gan as a friend, and a very reliable friend at that.
If the Murong family betrayed him and planned to stab him in the back, he would never agree!
Xia Daohua didn't know that she was usually lazy and peaceful, and actually had no deterrent power.
But at this moment, because the information revealed by Helan Yue happened to touch her forbidden zone or reverse scale, all the aura in her body was released at once.
It was just like a sword drawn from its sheath, radiating cold light, murderous aura, and awe-inspiring power, as if it could soar into the air in an instant and take off someone's head from thousands of miles away with ease.
Murong Qian and Helan Yue were both shocked for a moment, and were almost unable to move because of the oppression of Xia Daohua's aura.
Murong Qian's expression became even uglier.
Xia Daohua noticed that sweat began to form on the two children's faces. Then she realized that she had accidentally scared the two children. She restrained her murderous aura and nodded to Helan Yue.
"Madam Helan, thank you. Do you know where this rumor came from?"
After asking, he turned to Murong Qian and asked, "Does Master Murong know?"
The pressure on the two of them eased, and they felt the breath they had been holding relax. They took a few quick breaths, then hurriedly answered Xia Daohua's question:
"Madam Xia, I'm not sure where this rumor came from. My cousin heard it from a servant at home, but he happened to meet her and doesn't know who the person was."
"Right, cousin?"
Murong Qian nodded:
"Yes. Sister Fanglan has always loved orchids, so I often find rare orchid species to take home and raise. When they are ready, I give them to her to play with.
The other day I happened to see a new plant at the flower market, and couldn't help but think of Sister Fanglan, so I bought it. When I got home, I was about to ask the greenhouse servants to take good care of it when I heard someone talking behind the rockery..."
Xia Daohua's heart sank.
