Originally, they had not planned to stay in Siping City, since they had just replenished their supplies the day before.
They have no shortage of food and supplies, and Zhou Chengxing is urging them to hurry, so they plan to make the most of their time to travel in the coming days.
Upon hearing that Su Jingshu had agreed to enter the city, Ningbao happily called out to Mu Chengju ahead.
"Second Brother, turn around quickly and let's go into the city!"
Ningbao's first step into the city was to have a big meal at Siping Restaurant. As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, he smelled an enticing aroma of food.
As Ning Bao entered, she asked the waiter who was walking towards her,
"Waiter, do you have any private rooms available?"
"Please come in, sir!"
However, I'm really sorry, all the private rooms are booked for today. There are only seats available in the lobby on the first floor. What do you think...................
Ning Bao looked at Su Jing Shu, who glanced at her daughter and then nodded to the waiter.
"Okay, let's sit in the lobby then."
"Alright, this way please, sir!"
What would you like to eat, sir? Our restaurant offers: Eggplant Chicken, Garlic Shrimp, Braised Fish, Dongpo Pork Knuckle, Spicy Shrimp, Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens, Sichuan-Style Chicken, Cold Mixed Platter, Three Delicacies Soup…”
I want them all!
"You want...you want them all?"
Ning Bao nodded seriously.
"Yes! I'll take them all! And please bring extra rice, thank you!"
Ningbao originally wanted two portions of each dish, since she could put any leftovers into her storage talisman.
But then I looked around and saw that the lobby was crowded and noisy, so I decided to forget about it.
"Have you heard? The Liu family, the richest family in the country, is taking another concubine today. This is probably their eighteenth concubine already."
Ningbao, who was sitting and waiting for her food, was suddenly drawn to the murmurs around her.
The richest man?
Today, when she was at the city gate, she felt that the city was shining with gold, and she felt that her luck was very good today.
I wonder if this has anything to do with this tycoon who likes to take concubines...
Suddenly she raised an eyebrow... The whispers from the next table made her eyes turn cold...
"This Mr. Liu must be 70 years old, right?"
I remember his concubine, whom he took three months ago, was only 15 years old. I wonder how old this one is?
"I know this. My wife's cousin's mother-in-law's nephew's mother-in-law's nephew works for the Liu family."
He said that the concubine Master Liu took this time was only 13 years old...
"What? Only thirteen years old?"
He's still a child!
This Mr. Liu is much older than the girl's grandfather, how could he do such a thing?
Isn't this a sign of a bad conscience?
I don't know what this family was thinking, that they would be willing to send their daughter to the Liu family.
I've heard that this Master Liu has rather unusual hobbies; he's quite the womanizer, and over the years, quite a few of his concubines have died from his abuse.
"Alas! Actually, everyone knows that no respectable family would send their daughter to be a concubine to a man who is buried in the ground."
The Liu family is rich and powerful; their concubines were either bought or seized from ordinary people.
I heard this was stolen; it seems to be from a village outside the city. The family originally consisted of an old woman raising a son and a daughter.
That day, Master Liu met that family's daughter outside the city. Seeing that the girl was pretty and from a poor, powerless farming family, he simply sent a matchmaker to their door to say he wanted to take her as a concubine.
They certainly wouldn't agree, but Master Liu simply led his servants to snatch the girl away, and the old woman died of anger on the spot.
The woman's brother went to report it to the authorities, but the officials had been bribed by the Liu family...
well!
That little girl is so pitiful…
