In the Wangyue Tower in Huaizhou, Li Qiaoer did not sleep well all night and woke up early. She opened the window and looked down to see the Liuguang Street in front of the Wangyue Tower. She looked for a long time but could not see the familiar little figure.
She closed the window, walked to the door very quietly, tilted her ear to listen to the movement outside, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Master, are you awake? I am here to help you wash up."
Li Qiao'er was so frightened that she took a step back and said in a rough voice: "I, I don't need you to serve me, please go away."
She was anxiously walking around the room. The turmeric powder and other things were still in the previous inn. She was worried that she would be exposed before going to bed last night, so she did not remove her makeup. She just looked in the bronze mirror and saw that it was already mottled.
"I'll put the hot water at the door. Please be careful when opening the door."
"Hey, wait a minute." She called to the maid, "When can my sister and I's luggage be delivered?"
"Manager Yan has already sent people to clean up, don't worry, young master."
Then the sound of footsteps gradually receding was heard at the door.
Li Qiaoer walked to the door with a bitter face, listened carefully, and heard nothing, so she carefully opened the door. There was a basin of water, clothes and a handkerchief on the ground. She only took a glance, and then she looked left and right cautiously...
There happened to be a familiar-looking man standing on her right, looking at her. She didn't dare to breathe and lowered her head, subconsciously wanting to retreat back into the house.
"Miss Li, do you still recognize me?" Yan Qun walked up and asked in a friendly manner.
Hearing this name, Li Qiaoer was stunned, "Do you know who I am..."
She was so surprised that she couldn't suppress her voice for a moment, and her original voice came out, and the sentence ended very briefly.
After being completely exposed, Li Qiaoer remembered what Jiang Huaixu had said and simply stopped pretending.
"I recognize you. You are the owner of Wangyue Tower." She remembered that day when this person wanted to buy the recipe of their five-spice powder, and his attitude was very strange, so when she faced this person again, her eyes were full of vigilance.
"Miss Li, please wash up. Breakfast will be served later. I, Yan, have some business matters to ask you. If you are willing, a maid will take you to a private room after breakfast."
Li Qiao'er felt something was wrong. "Didn't you reach an agreement with my sister last night?"
Yan Qun said, "It's all right, absolutely all right. It's just that your sister left in a hurry last night, and there are still some minor details that I haven't understood clearly. Miss, you don't know that our boss owns more than just one restaurant, Wangyue Tower, and they need a lot of five-spice powder. I have to ask carefully before I can be assured."
This statement was perfect, and Li Qiaoer's guard was lowered a little. She was persuaded.
While she was sitting in a private room listening to the humming tune and talking to Yan Qun, the villagers of Jiuxi Village far away in Beichuan County were in trouble.
A carriage stopped in front of Jiang Boliang's house, and a man got out of the carriage. He was dressed in businessman's clothes, showing the temperament of a "nouveau riche" to outsiders from head to toe.
"Hey, that kid."
Wu Sanjin called out to Tian Ya, who was walking around them, and pointed at the locked gate and asked, "Do you recognize this family? Where did their family go?"
Tian Ya was frightened by the crowd of people in front of her and Wu Sanjin's voice. She stood in the corner with her neck shrunk, not daring to move, and looked at the group of people timidly with her pair of black eyes.
The two men were accompanied by attendants. Perhaps wanting to show off in front of their master, one of them stepped forward and shouted, "My master is asking you a question! Answer quickly!"
Tian Ya burst into tears after being yelled at. "Wu ...
Her crying scared everyone. Jiang Erlang, who had just returned from the tofu shop, couldn't help but quicken his pace when he heard the sound.
After running out of the alley and seeing the group of people standing in front of his house and Tian Ya huddled in the corner, his face turned cold and he bent down to pick up a stone.
He quickly walked over and picked up Tian Ya, who was sobbing non-stop. He looked at the newcomers and asked, "Who are you? How dare you come into our village and bully children?"
Tian Ya hugged Jiang Er Lang's neck and wiped her tears with his shoulder. The crying gradually stopped. She hiccuped and complained, "Brother Er Lang, they scared Tian Ya..."
"Hey - you girl, who scared you?!" The follower was dissatisfied and took another step forward.
"Get back here!" Wu Sanjin shouted and winked at the followers around him.
Before the followers could move, screams suddenly rang out.
Jiang Erlang looked at the man rolling on the ground holding his legs, and looked at Wu Sanjin with a pair of cold eyes, "I don't care why you are here, I am afraid this trip is in vain, leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, he walked towards the tofu shop.
"Wait!" Wu Sanjin stopped the man. Although he was also dissatisfied with his subordinates acting on their own, the actions of the young man in front of him were a slap in his face.
"Kid, you want to leave after injuring my men? How can that be justified?" Wu Sanjin curled his lips and continued, "Go and bring Jiang Huaixu to me, and I will let this matter go."
Hearing Jiang Huaixu's name, a fierce look flashed across Jiang Erlang's eyes. He said coldly, "Did you see with your own eyes that I hurt him? As for the person you mentioned, he is not in the village now."
There was a noisy voice not far away, and he said: "If you really want to discuss business, please wait until the people come back before coming back. Otherwise, I am afraid you will not be able to leave later."
The boy is so arrogant!
Wu Sanjin looked at Jiang Erlang with disdain. He looked handsome, but he couldn't see the situation clearly.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother-in-law is..."
"Erlang, what's going on? What do these people do?"
