no!
Nothing could stop her determination to retire in peace!
She had to find a way to earn enough money during her prime years to allow her to retire early and live a life of power, wealth, and luxury!
Otherwise, given her extravagant spending habits developed over the years, the money she earns from selling pregnancy fruits only once every few months wouldn't be enough for her to squander!
She didn't want to have to worry about making a living all the time; her men had to live well too!
Thinking about the wonderful life ahead, Su Qinghe suddenly felt full of energy again.
She felt that opening just one hot pot restaurant in Tianhe County was far from enough; she wanted to open a nationwide chain!
By then, with the entire business empire, she can retire early!
In the latter half of the night, Su Qinghe fell asleep with these sweet dreams.
The next day, Su Qinghe got up early for her morning exercise as usual, while Lin Xi and Ji Yuan hadn't gotten up yet because they hadn't slept well the night before.
Su Qinghe went directly to the village entrance and chartered an entire oxcart. By the time everyone had finished getting ready, it was already noon.
The oxcart swayed and rattled as it drove away from Qingshan Village.
Looking at the village where he had lived for almost half a year, Lin Xi felt a little reluctant to leave, while Ji Yuan didn't feel anything, after all, he hadn't been here for long.
...
The oxcart was still parked in front of Piaoxianglou.
Su Qinghe went inside and booked two superior rooms. She found a waiter, gave him some silver, and asked him to help her move all the things from the oxcart upstairs.
"We'll stay here for now! We'll move to the restaurant in a couple of days!"
Su Qinghe called the waiter over, and the three of them ordered together. They had been busy all morning and hadn't had lunch yet.
County Magistrate's Office.
Qi Li got up very early today, eagerly waiting for the people she had sent out to return and report, but she waited and waited, and it was almost noon before she saw anyone.
"Could it be that they failed? I hired a professional assassin from the Seven Kill Pavilion at a high price!"
Qi Li began to pace uneasily around the room.
From the day she was beaten, she went back and had people inquire about Su Qinghe's identity.
But she hasn't seen her since that day, and no one on the street recognizes her. She can't find anyone to take revenge on.
But yesterday, her people came to report that they saw Su Qinghe in front of Piaoxianglou and told her everything that had happened.
Since she had gotten into a dispute with someone, she immediately came up with the idea of using someone else to do her dirty work.
After sending people to find out her home address and discovering that she was just a villager from Qingshan Village, she hired four assassins from the Seven Kill Pavilion overnight.
"Although that person has some martial arts skills, the Seven Kill Pavilion is a top-ranked assassin organization in the underworld. Besides, I hired four people to kill her. She shouldn't be able to defeat her!"
Qi Li's fat face scrunched up, and he felt a little panicked.
"Steward Qi, the patriarch wants you to go to the study!"
A servant boy came in from outside.
"knew!"
Upon hearing that it was the head of the family who was looking for her, Qi Li composed herself, straightened her clothes that she had just messed up, and hurriedly went to the study.
"Master!" Qi Li bowed to the middle-aged woman behind the desk.
"Hmm! Is everything settled?" Luo Pin was reviewing official documents, not even looking up.
"Uh..." Qi Li bowed and remained silent.
"Hmm? Something went wrong?" After not receiving a response for a while, Luo Pinzheng shifted his gaze from the official documents to Qi Li.
"Hmm...yes, something went wrong. The people we sent out last night haven't returned this morning, and there's been no news from the Seven Kill Pavilion either! I'm afraid..."
Qi Li nervously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, before finishing his sentence.
"Useless! You can't even handle a commoner!" Luo Pinzheng roared in anger, slamming the official document in his hand onto Qi Li's head.
"Master, please calm down!" Qi Li said with a fawning smile, picking up the scattered documents from the floor and placing them back on the desk.
"The Seven Killings Pavilion has a rule: once they've taken the money, if they fail, they'll send someone again. They'll only give up if they still fail after ten attempts."
“With each additional instance, they would send even more capable people. At the time, I only told them that Su Qinghe was a commoner with some skills, so perhaps they sent some insignificant people the first time!”
"After this, they will definitely know that Su Qinghe can escape once, but she will surely die next time!"
As Qi Li spoke, he poured another cup of tea and offered it to Qi Li in a flattering manner.
"Hmph! I don't care how many times you use it, you just have to find the fertile fruit tree in her hands for me."
"I can't control what the Seven Killings Pavilion is doing. In a few months, it will be the birthday of the Prince of Changping. I want to use this as a birthday gift."
"Send more people to Qingshan Village to search immediately. Even if you have to search the entire mountain, find the tree for me!"
Luo Pinzheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of greed when he talked about the fertile fruit tree.
"Yes! Yes! This servant will arrange it immediately!"
Qi Li nodded repeatedly, and before Luo Pinzheng could say anything more, he hurriedly left.
...
Piaoxianglou.
"Sir, the medicine you requested is ready!"
Su Qinghe opened the door, and the waiter stood at the door with two bowls of medicine.
"Sir, the bowl on the left is for the young master who is lying down!" The waiter smiled and stretched the bowl of medicine on the left forward to prevent Su Qinghe from getting confused.
She saw Manager He and this lady chatting and laughing at the restaurant entrance that day!
Thank you!
Su Qinghe gave her some money as a thank you before carrying the medicine into the house.
"My lady, please give me Yu-ge'er's medicine!" Ji Yuan saw that she was holding two bowls of medicine and hurriedly went to take them.
"Hmm, be careful, it's hot!"
Su Qinghe handed him the medicine before placing the other bowl in front of Lin Xi.
Behind the screen, Ji Yuan was carefully feeding Ji Qingyu medicine with a spoon.
