During the time that Chen Xiaoru was conspiring with the system, Li Zihao had sent someone to prepare food and deliver it to the room.
"Aunt, look, the food is all prepared for you." Li Zihao said humbly, with an extremely humble attitude.
"Put it on the table." Chen Xiaoru ordered lightly.
Li Zihao arranged the food one by one. The dishes were quite rich, with a combination of meat and vegetables, fish and meat, and it didn't look perfunctory.
Chen Xiaoru was not picky either. She grabbed the chopsticks and started eating with relish. After all the hustle and bustle today, she was already starving.
She ate very quickly, devouring the delicacies on the table like whirlwind, while Li Zihao stood there like a sculpture, not daring to breathe.
Chen Xiaoru caught a glimpse of his expression and thought to herself, "What a coward! He's a coward who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He becomes a weakling when he meets a tough opponent."
After eating and drinking, Li Zihao took out a small bag of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiaoru.
"Auntie, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't think it's too little. I was wrong today. I shouldn't have kidnapped you. I apologize."
Chen Xiaoru looked at him, and unexpectedly, this man was quite tactful. She took the silver and weighed it.
"Be more careful in the future and don't be so foolish as to let others manipulate you. You've been sold and still help others count the money."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Li Zihao nodded and bowed, like a pug wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Chen Xiaoru said, turned around and was about to leave.
After Chen Xiaoru disappeared at the door, Li Zihao kicked the table fiercely.
The hard wooden table made a dull sound.
His face was ferocious, and he growled with gnashing teeth:
"Cheng Rongrong, just wait for me. Sooner or later, I'm going to settle this score with you. If I don't kill you, I'm not Li Zihao!"
There was a raging fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.
Chen Xiaoru strolled through the bustling market, surrounded by a constant clamor. The vendors' calls echoed one after another, and the children's laughter was melodious and clear.
The aroma of various foods mixed together and filled the air, whetting one's appetite.
"Host, where are you planning to go?" The system voice sounded in his mind.
"Well... let's go to Jiangnan. That place should be nice, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and outstanding people." Chen Xiaoru thought for a moment, responded softly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Jiangnan, that was a wonderful place, a favorite of literati and poets since ancient times, with its picturesque scenery and breathtaking beauty. A longing welled up in her heart, wanting to see with her own eyes the legendary misty and picturesque Jiangnan scenery.
Chen Xiaoru hailed a carriage, negotiated a price with the driver, and set off on her journey to Jiangnan. The carriage's wheels turned, making a rhythmic creaking sound, accompanied by the clattering of horse hooves, as it gradually moved away.
Chen Xiaoru leaned in the carriage, closed her eyes and thought about what to do after arriving in Jiangnan.
On the other side, Song Qingqing ran towards Cheng Mansion with joy, her steps light as if there was wind under her feet.
She had no idea of the fate she was about to face, and naively thought that Cheng Rongrong was just looking for someone to teach Chen Xiaoru a lesson.
Just like a carefree little bird, it doesn't care about this matter at all.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of the Cheng Mansion, she went straight to Cheng Rongrong's courtyard, and her clear voice echoed in the air: "Sister Rongrong!"
Cheng Rongrong came out upon hearing the sound, with a smile on her face, and held Song Qingqing's hand affectionately.
"Qingqing, you really helped me a lot this time! If it weren't for you, this matter wouldn't have been so smooth!"
Her eyes flickered as she continued, "I've specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a table full of delicious dishes. They're all your favorites. Let's go enjoy them now!"
"Okay! Thank you, Sister Rongrong!" A bright smile bloomed on Song Qingqing's face, like a blooming flower.
They walked hand in hand into the living room, only to see the table filled with all sorts of delicacies, which were so colorful, fragrant and delicious that they made them salivate.
Cheng Rongrong diligently picked up food for Song Qingqing, being attentive and considerate.
Song Qingqing enjoyed the food to her heart's content. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she wiped her mouth and said:
"Sister Rongrong, where is Chen Xiaoru now? I have to take her back with me, otherwise my mother will definitely punish me."
Cheng Rongrong looked at Song Qingqing's innocent look and couldn't help but smile.
She said softly, "Qingqing, you go ahead and I will take her back home later, how about that?"
Song Qingqing thought for a moment. She didn't like Chen Xiaoru in the first place, so this arrangement would save her a lot of trouble.
"Okay then, I'll go back first, but you must remember to send Chen Xiaoru back to my house!"
Cheng Rongrong smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, are you still worried about me doing things?"
After saying that, Song Qingqing said goodbye and left, her figure disappearing outside the door of Cheng Mansion.
Cheng Rongrong watched Song Qingqing leave, a triumphant smile on her lips. She murmured softly, with a hint of gloating in her voice:
"Song Qingqing, ah Song Qingqing, you usually pretend to be smart, but you turned out to be so stupid. I fooled you with just a few words."
Cheng Rongrong's mind flashed with the tragic situation that Chen Xiaoru was about to face.
She felt even happier. She could already see Chen Xiaoru being tortured in every possible way by that villain Li Zihao, in such agony.
"Falling into Li Zihao's hands, Chen Xiaoru is probably going to be in trouble this time. That vulgar man is notorious for his cruel methods. I wonder if Chen Xiaoru's pretty face can be saved. It's really exciting."
When Cheng Rongrong thought of this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her voice full of vicious pleasure, as if she had already seen Chen Xiaoru being tortured to a point where her life was worse than death. Just thinking about that scene made her excited.
