These are the most sincere words from the old poisoner!
It was filled with anticipation and hope, not just for Geng Yuepeng, but for him too!
He hates being controlled by others the most, but he has no choice now. If he had the chance, he would be a fool not to run away!
What does all this nonsense have to do with him?
Whether it was the truth or just empty words, Geng Yuepeng listened to them. What else could he do but believe them? At least he had hope and motivation in his heart!
There's nothing he can do right now. He'll just watch those people fight to the death, and once he recovers, he'll suddenly reappear, wipe them out, and restore his prestige!
However, Geng Yuepeng was still a little worried. He was seriously injured. Although he couldn't get up and couldn't see his whole body, he could still sense it and felt that he was in excruciating pain. It was definitely not a minor injury!
Gradually, this worry began to spread, and he felt that something was wrong with his body!
Sometimes I can feel the pain, and sometimes I can't!
This is not a good sign!
Fearing death, he wanted to ask for an answer, and the answer he got from the old poison master hadn't changed!
Asking too many questions will eventually make you not want to ask anymore. Everything will be alright; just let it heal slowly!
Everyone knows that serious injuries can lead to relapses and repeated injuries, which is common. It's not my concern; my life is in someone else's hands, so I can't be too arrogant!
Actually, there's another one: when someone gets arrogant and angry, it aggravates all the wounds on their body, and the pain becomes very rhythmic!
Su Nanxi knew quite a bit about Geng Yuepeng's situation and where he had been transferred, but she didn't meet him in person. He was in such a terrible state that she didn't want to offend her eyes.
Yao Xinyue came again, saying that her mother really liked that cake and had sent people to queue for several days, but they still couldn't buy it. So she had no choice but to shamelessly come to Su Nanxi to see if she could get some preferential tickets.
Su Nanxi knew that many people in the capital loved those little cakes. Don't let their small size fool you; they were quite delicate and cute, and they tasted delicious. Plus, they came in all sorts of flavors!
Since its launch, it has never had trouble selling, and it often sells out within a moment of being put on the shelves!
The people who came after them really disappeared without a trace!
It's normal that many people couldn't buy them due to the limited quantity.
Su Nanxi didn't give a definitive answer, only agreeing to give it a try. As for when it could be resolved, or even if it could be resolved at all, that was really uncertain!
Yao Xinyue was delighted to see that Su Nanxi had agreed. In her experience, if Su Nanxi agreed, it was almost certainly a sure thing!
She can always be right if she just believes!
If Su Su couldn't do it, then she certainly couldn't either. If she had a solution, she would have tried it already!
"Su Su is so kind! I thank you on behalf of my mother! You don't need to say you're welcome! Oh, by the way, Su Su, I heard from the customers in the shop that the imperial court seems to be planning something big. I don't really understand it, I just picked up a few keywords, like overturning a case or investigating a case, but I don't know who's involved, they're just discussing it. I'm just a woman and I can't help with national affairs, I just hope it doesn't involve our little shop! I heard that when they investigate cases, they might even come in and search the shop!"
Yao Xinyue doesn't care about or worry about anything else, but she is particularly concerned about the shop that she has worked so hard to revive.
How could a mere woman like her interfere with such important national affairs?
She doesn't bother with things that aren't related to her interests; she only cares about those that are connected to her!
She had heard that a shop had been involved in a case, presumably the work of someone in the past, and had been sold to someone else, so the shop was ordered to temporarily cease operations.
Suspending business is not the most important thing; at most, it will only result in some financial loss. However, once a case is involved, no matter what kind of case it is, everyone will stay far away, for fear of being innocently dragged into it and becoming a scapegoat without even knowing it!
It's easy to imagine what will happen to the shop after the news gets out!
That has a huge impact!
Are we still going to do business?
Yao Xinyue is most impatient with dealing with those trivial matters, which are endless and extremely annoying!
Su Nanxi paused slightly, then smiled, "What are you worried about? Your shop was your mother's dowry, not something you took over from someone else. It's always been managed by trustworthy people, and there haven't been any problems! Do you think those constables have nothing better to do than cause you trouble? They won't go looking for trouble. You have the Duke's Mansion behind you. They'd better think twice before they try to touch you!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Xinyue realized it made sense. Although she was not favored in the mansion, to outsiders, she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion. With that status, not just anyone would dare to mess with her!
Besides, she hasn't done anything wrong. Those murder cases are far removed from her. She has an upright character and isn't afraid of those people investigating her. There's no need to be afraid of them!
Hmm, I was overthinking it. It seems I need to talk to Su Su more. Su Su always gives me strength!
Thinking about it this way, I felt much more at ease and stopped worrying.
She also ate a whole plate of pastries, and while eating, she talked about her half-sister.
“My dear half-sister, the one who claims to be a beauty on the capital's list, is having a really bad time these days! It's not that we're making things difficult for her; as long as she doesn't cause trouble in the manor, she'll be doing quite well. After all, firstly, none of us want to cause any trouble or create problems, and secondly, we don't want to give anyone any leverage to use against us when my father comes back and settles scores! We just want to live our lives however we like and don't want to make things difficult for ourselves! Her misfortune is purely a matter between her and her mother!”
"Su Su, haven't you heard? You Xiao Niang's family got into trouble. At first, only one or two were arrested. If they hadn't been so arrogant, they probably wouldn't have attracted any attention. I don't know who they offended, but they were arrested quite unexpectedly! I don't know what happened in jail, maybe they gave up their accomplices. I think they were found to have criminal records! They've done a lot of bad things in the past, and they were interrogated one by one. They've never suffered before, but after a little torture, they spilled everything!"
"Haha! Isn't it hilarious! Arresting two leads to a whole string of others! Dozens of people have been arrested! I heard they couldn't withstand the interrogation and confessed everything, down to their last shreds! Yao Mengru's uncle's family was practically raided! Haha! You Xiaoniang is frantic every day, trying to find ways to send messages out and ask the old official who's close to my father for help. My half-sister doesn't really care about this, but You Xiaoniang scolded her and forced her to come up with a solution!"
"They argue so much in private. I only heard it from those girls. They used to be so loving and harmonious, like mother and daughters! Now I hear they break things every day, and they even fight! Wow! That's fierce! It's a pity I didn't see it! Otherwise, it would have been quite entertaining, and I could have eaten two more bowls of rice!"
Yao Xinyue laughed heartily, clearly very happy.
Su Nanxi really wanted to say that just imagining it makes her want to eat more!
"I hope my dad comes back later!"
