Chapter 137 Unintentionally Making a Business Proceed
The rising sun brings warmth to the winter day.
At this hour, people from nearby villages have already arrived in the town by means of transportation.
The town was bustling with activity, teeming with people.
Wan Qiqi left the teahouse and squeezed into the crowd.
Just then, a man dressed in patched coarse cloth nudged the man next to him, "Brother Fugui, look, isn't that Chen Wanshi?"
Li Fugui looked in the direction his companion pointed and saw a slender figure disappear into the crowd.
His eyes gradually turned sinister, as chilling as the morning frost.
Suddenly noticing that Li Fugui's expression was off, and fearing that something might happen, his companion grabbed his arm and pulled him in the opposite direction: "Brother Fugui, maybe I'm seeing things. How could Chen Wanshi be in Baizhi Town? Besides, that person was wearing new clothes... I must have mistaken him for someone else."
Li Fugui ignored his tugging and even pried his companion's hand away, staring intently at the crowd, "You're not mistaken, it's that poisonous woman Wan Qiqi!"
Even if he were to turn to ashes, let alone change his clothes, he would still recognize him!
Why should a vicious woman like Wan Qiqi live? Her sister died young, and her nephew is disabled. Why?
The pain and hatred in Li Fugui's heart were completely ignited after seeing Wan Qiqi's back, and his struggle against Wan Qiqi was irreconcilable!
He patted his companion on the shoulder and said, "You follow her and see where she goes. I'll go get help!"
His companion hesitated to speak, but Li Fugui had already walked far away, so he could only bite the bullet and squeeze into the crowd.
Wan Qiqi walked through the bustling city towards the Xie residence. Before she got close, she saw another figure in front of the stall.
She had seen him yesterday; he was Xie Xing's attendant, Eleven.
Shiyi stood in front of the stall, staring at Lin Dazhuang, seemingly saying something. Dazhuang answered while working, his expression revealing a hint of difficulty.
Because it was too far away, Wan Qiqi couldn't hear the figures clearly, nor could she tell what the two were saying from their lip movements, but she vaguely felt that the content might be the matter that Xie Xing had proposed to her.
A thought flashed through her mind, and a hint of surprise appeared on her indifferent expression.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, Xie Xing wanted to transfer her away so that someone would come to find Lin Dazhuang and talk about Lin Zhaodi.
But why?
Of all the women in the world, why did Xie Xing choose Lin Zhaodi?
Wan Qiqi suddenly thought of the power struggles within ancient Chinese households, the conflicts between wives and concubines, and the disputes between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Xie Xing initially gave off a very casual vibe, making people think he wouldn't care about these things, let alone engage in palace intrigue.
But he was the legitimate son of the Xie family, and his mother was the legal wife. He was overshadowed by the concubine, so how could he really ignore her completely?
Upon closer examination, Wan Qiqi felt that Xie Xing was far too terrifying.
"This National Day holiday, they actually sneaked out to drink sweet soup while I was away!"
Wan Qiqi was startled by the figure behind her and took several steps back, unable to hide her heart palpitations.
Xie Xing walked past her leisurely, ignoring her, and went to his stall.
Wan Qiqi clutched her chest and gasped for breath. It took her a while to recover. She grumbled inwardly for a while, but still couldn't calm down the anger Xie Xing had caused.
She didn't know when Xie Xing had followed her without making a sound.
Xie Xing moved with light steps, demonstrating his exceptional skill.
Wan Qiqi suddenly felt a chill on her neck and instinctively covered it, her forehead covered in a layer of sweat.
She felt that if this person wanted to kill her, she would have no chance to resist and might not even know who did it until she died.
That's terrifying!
The last time Wan Qiqi felt so close to death was in Guanshi Village when Li Fugui slashed at her with a knife, but that fear was far less terrifying than it is now.
That one could still be controlled, and there was even room for resistance, but this one didn't even give them a chance to fight back!
She suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her.
Looking up, she saw Xie Xing smiling at her, looking completely innocent.
Lin Dazhuang waved and called out, "Sister-in-law Chen! Come quickly!"
Wan Qiqi really wanted to say that she would come over after Xie Xing left.
But the other party didn't give her a chance; it was clear they wouldn't give up until she got there.
Wan Qiqi forced herself to walk over. "Dazhuang, what's wrong?" She didn't look at Xie Xing, but stared directly at Lin Dazhuang and the money bag in his hand.
He looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?
Lin Dazhuang handed the money bag to Wan Qiqi and said, "Sister-in-law Chen, Young Master Xie wants to buy a jar of soy sauce..."
Wan Qiqi frowned, looked at Xie Xing with a probing gaze, wanting to know what Xie Xing was up to.
After looking at them for a while, I could only see a genuine smile on their face; I couldn't discern anything else.
Xie Xing raised an eyebrow: "What? Your nephew's wife isn't interested?"
Wan Qiqi almost choked on her own saliva.
The wife of a master's nephew?
How did this person come up with this nickname?
Wan Qiqi cleared her throat to make sure her voice was clear before speaking: "No, it's just that today's jar has already been opened. It costs 510 coins for the whole jar. If you need it, I'll have someone bring it to you tomorrow."
Xie Xing nodded casually, his emotions unreadable.
Upon seeing this, Lin Dazhuang immediately started promoting the product to Wan Qiqi, fearing that Xie Xing might return and change his mind!
Xie Xing said calmly, "See how many jars you can buy, and if you can bring them all tomorrow?"
Wan Qiqi then took the money pouch, opened it, and saw that it was full of loose copper coins.
She looked up and met Xie Xing's smile, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.
Was this person doing it on purpose?
When I was at the teahouse, my purse was full of silver, but now that it's my own place, it's full of heavy copper coins, and I have to count them one by one.
Wan Qiqi took a deep breath and said with a fake smile, "Okay, I'll start counting now."
Lin Dazhuang looked at the stall, while Wan Qiqi sat to the side, counting the copper coins in her money bag in front of Xie Xing.
