If only Su Ergou was helping her, she wouldn't be able to make so many different kinds of snacks, but now she has three free workers, right? It's a waste not to use them! While Su Xiaoxiao was making snacks, Shopkeeper Sun was not idle either. He shamelessly went to the front yard to expand business.
He didn't care whether he was an invited guest or not, he just wanted to get in. How important was his appearance? If he was a little bit more shameless, Jinji would not have been able to grow from a small workshop to the boss of Xinghua Town!
Sun Quan was down and out, but one day he would surely make a comeback! As the feast approached, everything was ready.
Shopkeeper Sun also attracted a lot of business by virtue of his ability to brag.
Some of them can be decided today...
He suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and hurried to the kitchen.
"Sister, I need to go to the bathroom." Su Ergou said.
The ginger milk his sister made just now was so delicious that he couldn't help it and drank three big bowls of it.
"Go ahead. Do you know where it is?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"I know. The servant told me so." Su Ergou replied.
As soon as Su Ergou left, Manager Sun arrived.
He said happily, "I'm lucky today. I ran into the Qi family. They praised our dim sum and I took the opportunity to get a few orders. The latest order is in ten days. The daughter of the Zhao family will be coming of age. Madam Zhao wants to meet you. Are you free now? If you are, send the dim sum to the front and meet Madam Zhao. I have already told the Third Madam and she has no objection."
"become."
I just finished my work here.
Su Xiaoxiao took out the dinner plates from the mansion and said, "Come here and serve the food. You serve the food the same way I serve it."
The three chefs: "Okay Miss Su!"
Shopkeeper Sun looked confused.
Wait, what happened during the one or two hours I was away?
After serving, Su Xiaoxiao and Shopkeeper Sun carried a food box and walked towards the front hall.
The remaining snacks would be served by the Wang family's servants, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
"Let me tell you about the Zhao family..." Shopkeeper Sun took the food box and began to introduce the Zhao family to Su Xiaoxiao.
As the two were passing through a winding corridor, they heard a woman's pleading voice coming from a small bamboo garden not far away.
"Let go! Let him go - let go of my brother -"
"ah--"
The woman seemed to be pushed to the ground, knocking over things and letting out a scream.
A man scolded, "Hurry up and get up! Stop howling like a ghost! If you make Master Li unhappy, you'll be in trouble!"
"Manager Wu, I beg you! I kneel down in front of you! Please ask them to release my brother - my brother is still young - he is not a servant of the Wang family -"
"He came to the Wang family and became a servant of the Wang family! What did you say when you brought him into the mansion?"
"I don't want him to come to the Wang family anymore! Manager Wu, please let him go! I only have this one brother! Manager Wu..."
Su Xiaoxiao's brows were cold.
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said, "Alas, we have no right to interfere in the affairs of the mansion. Let's go."
"Manager Wu, I beg you——"
"If you keep yelling, I'll have you kicked out! If you ruin Master Li's mood, and Master Li starts to blame us, we'll all be in big trouble!"
Su Xiaoxiao paused.
She heard the young man's muffled groan of resistance coming from a room in Xiaozhuyuan, but it was very faint and unreal.
Shopkeeper Sun's hearing was not as good as hers, so he didn't hear the unbearable noise, but he was a shrewd man who had been in the martial arts world for many years, so how could he not guess what happened? "It seems that the only person with the surname Li at the banquet today is the son of the prefect." Shopkeeper Sun whispered, "According to rumors, this son is the youngest son of the prefect, and the only legitimate son. He was spoiled by his family and developed some... not very glorious hobbies."
From the conversation between Manager Wu and the woman, it seemed that Master Li targeted the servants of the Wang family.
This is really ridiculous!
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists slightly.
Seeing her murderous look, Steward Sun quickly advised, "No, no, no, Miss Su, don't be impulsive! We are not from the Wang family, we are not even guests! The one inside is the legitimate son of the prefect! Not to mention our current status, even if we add Jinji and the Qi family, we are not enough to challenge the prefect! We can't afford to offend!"
As he spoke, he decisively reached out and grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist.
At his age, he had no bad intentions towards Su Xiaoxiao. He simply treated her as his junior and wanted to take her away.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't move: "You go first."
"You...you won't..." Shopkeeper Sun looked around, lowered his voice, and whispered, "I know you are kind-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't have saved the child from Jinji! But there are so many injustices in the world, can you handle them all? Before you manage others, you should always think about yourself first! If we offend the governor, we can forget about doing business in the city! A sneeze from the governor can cost us our lives!"
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and loosened her fists little by little.
"That's right!" Shopkeeper Sun breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not that we are indifferent, it's just that the world is difficult. Sometimes, we just have to accept our fate. Let's go. Out of sight, out of mind. We'll forget about it in a moment."
…
Inside the house, the light was dim.
Master Li walked towards the young man on the bed with a wicked smile.
The boy struggled, but he was tied up and his mouth was blocked, so all his struggles were in vain.
Master Li rushed forward.
"It is your blessing to be able to serve this young master!"
"Don't worry, just serve me well, and I will let you live a life of luxury for the rest of your life. You won't have to be a servant in this shabby house anymore!"
Mr. Li raised his hand to pull his belt.
With a clang, the door was kicked open with great force.
A chubby figure rushed in like a hurricane, grabbed Master Li from the bed, and threw him to the ground without mercy! Master Li screamed and sobered up: "Who is it! Who is this bastard! How dare you throw me to the ground!"
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and kicked him in the chest! "Ouch——"
Mr. Li was kicked so hard that he fell over, his nose was broken, and blood spurted all over the floor! Su Xiaoxiao hurried to untie the tied-up boy.
"younger brother--"
The woman rushed in crying.
The servants who were knocked down by Su Xiaoxiao outside also got up and followed over with great pain.
At the same time, Su Xiaoxiao also saw the boy's appearance clearly.
Her eyes turned cold! The woman came to the bed and her crying stopped abruptly!
Shopkeeper Sun ran the slowest, panting as he entered. He took a closer look and stumbled and fell! What happened? How did the boy who was raped by Master Li turn into... Su Ergou?
The gagged Su Ergou roared like a dragon: "Woo woo woo!"
Now, Master Li was also dumbfounded.
Where's his beautiful boy?
How did you become a little black? !
Here are the tenth update. My claws are almost worn out. Finally, I would like to ask for some monthly votes to make up for it!
