Fan Hongying saw this scene as soon as she came in, and her eyes immediately lit up with excitement. So cool!
Xiao Li noticed someone approaching, and only then did she stop, flicking the whip to make it as clean as new.
"What a fine whip! What excellent whipping technique! What a fine girl!"
Xiao Li looked at her. She was a very spirited woman, probably in her thirties, with a round face and big eyes.
Although she was wearing a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), judging from her walk, she must have been trained and had a foundation in martial arts.
Judging from the looks of it, they've come to rescue me.
"Greetings, madam."
Xiao Li bowed to her and then prepared to go home.
These people were just following orders. Beating them half to death and severing their tendons would prevent them from doing bad things again, and that would be enough.
As for Manager Li, after Youyou went to the Li residence that night, the Li residence was reduced to ashes. Apart from the servants and maids, the master Li and his concubines did not escape.
Fan Hongying glanced at the group, feeling a mix of surprise at the girl's ruthlessness and admiration for her decisiveness.
That's how you deal with bad guys—you can't drag things out, or you'll cause endless trouble later.
"Young lady, my name is Fan Hongying. I feel an instant connection with you. Why don't we go upstairs for some tea and rest?"
Seeing that Fan Hongying was sincerely inviting her, Xiao Li didn't stand on ceremony, and the two went back to the teahouse together.
The young maidservant sat at the door waiting, while the two were still making a bet.
"I reckon the lady will be back in a quarter of an hour this time."
"No, there are five people. I guess it will take the lady half an hour; she still needs to comfort the little girl."
Xiao Li looked at Fan Hongying, who was embarrassed and coughed.
The two young girls looked over, their expressions immediately changed, and they both started flattering him.
“Madam, I knew you were wise and capable, and that you would be able to drive away the bad guys and rescue Miss.”
"Yes, yes, Madam is the best!"
Fan Hongying scolded the two men, "Hurry up and prepare tea and fruit. I want to have a good chat with this young lady here."
"yes!"
The two bowed and left, and Fan Hongying led Xiaoli into the house.
"Those two girls are quite disrespectful, please don't take offense!"
Xiao Li shook her head, "No, they are innocent and adorable."
Fan Hongying chuckled. This little girl was so cute. She was even younger than the maid, but what she said made people laugh.
"I am older than you, so I have the advantage of seniority. I don't even know your name, sister. Would you mind telling me?"
My name is Liu Li.
Fan Hongying stood up in surprise, "You're Liu Li? Are you Master Liu, the one who's skilled in double-sided embroidery?"
Xiao Li nodded. Her name spread very quickly, and many people knew about her, especially wealthy families, who were all talking about her.
This lady was clearly wealthy and noble, so it wasn't surprising that people knew her name.
"Oh! I came here specifically for you. What a coincidence that we've run into each other today."
Fan Hongying arrived a couple of days earlier, but she heard that Master Liu had just finished his embroidery and would need to rest for a few days before meeting with those who requested it.
That's why she stayed at the town's inn. Today, she came to the teahouse to kill some time, and unexpectedly, she ran into the person in question.
"Oh, Madam, is there something you need?"
Fan Hongying hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"I shouldn't be bothering you at this time, but since we've run into each other, I'll say so in advance."
Fan Hongying slowly recounted that she has a grandmother who is sixty-nine years old this year.
During one of his visits to the palace, he saw the Empress Dowager's double-sided embroidery and immediately fell in love with it. Unfortunately, he couldn't touch the embroidery, and the old lady kept thinking about it.
She wanted to ask for an embroidered item to give to the elderly person as a birthday gift.
It's just that her grandmother's birthday is at the beginning of the year, and it's only a few months away, so she's a little anxious.
Xiao Li smiled gently, "Since it is Madam who has come to ask, I will naturally fulfill her request."
Fan Hongying was surprised that Xiaoli agreed so readily, and was instead worried that she might hurt her eyes.
"This embroidery is very demanding. Will it hurt your eyes? If there's not enough time, I'd rather not do double-sided embroidery and just do a simple one. I'll ask you for it again when I have the chance."
Xiaoli was surprised, and her impression of Fan Hongying improved even more.
Others would love for embroidery to be as intricate and exquisite as possible, but Fan Hongying was worried about her instead.
"Don't worry, madam. I have a finished embroidery at home, which is a pine and crane wishing longevity. The other side is five blessings surrounding longevity. It's just right."
Fan Hongying was overjoyed; her worries vanished.
"It's wonderful that the master is willing to part with it. Now Grandmother can rest easy."
Xiao Li and Fan Hongying chatted very congenially and agreed to meet again at the same place the next day. Xiao Li then went home.
She's going to finish the double-sided embroidery tonight. Her spiritual sense is powerful; one embroidery piece is nothing to her. Her skill in needlework is not just talk.
The next day, Fan Hongying indeed brought a large sum of money and waited at the teahouse early in the morning.
"My sister is here so early!"
The two had already agreed yesterday to address each other as sisters, and from now on they would be sworn sisters.
"Little sister, come and try this. Today I ordered pre-rain tea. I don't know if you'll like it."
After the two had enjoyed some tea, Xiao Li took out the embroidery she had brought.
Fan Hongying washed her hands before taking it over to examine it carefully.
"How wonderful! My sister's skillful hands are truly rare in this world. I can only handle guns, I'm absolutely no good at embroidery."
Fan Hongying was full of praise and gave Xiao Li a long rave review.
"Little sister, your hands can hold both whips and needles, you're really amazing, I'm completely convinced."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Sister, you are also a heroine, a heroine among women. The contributions you and the General made to the people on the border are truly great."
Only then did she learn about the relationship between Fan Hongying and the general; they were husband and wife.
Fan Hongying's cheeks flushed red. "Let's stop flattering each other and start counting the money."
She nodded to the maid, who quickly opened two small boxes.
One box contained silver notes, and the other box contained various gems the size of eggs.
Xiao Li had acquired many pieces of jewelry before, but none of the jewelry from ordinary planes was as good as this box, which shows that Fan Hongying really put her heart into it.
"This box of jewels is more than enough."
Fan Hongying pushed the small box in front of Xiao Li.
"Then consider this banknote a gift and pocket money for my sister."
Xiao Li smiled and took a purse from her waist, inside which were two jade pendants.
"I obtained this jade pendant from a high monk, and I present it to you, sister, wishing you and the General peace and good health!"
Fan Hongying happily accepted it, and the two chatted about other interesting things.
Three days later, Fan Hongying left, and the two agreed to meet again at the beginning of the year on her grandmother's birthday.
After seeing Fan Hongying off, Xiao Li announced to everyone that the selection of embroidery items had begun.
?
When Yun Yiyi learned that the mission had failed and those scoundrels had been crippled and beaten half to death, she was furious.
How could Liu Li possibly have accomplished that?
She then discovered that General Fan Hongying had been there, and she concluded that it must have been Fan Hongying who helped resolve the matter.
