Meanwhile, the waiter approached Li Niangzi with a smile and asked her what she wanted to eat and drink.
They completely ignored Zhao Jinxue, who was standing next to them, as if she were invisible.
Zhao Jinxue was furious just looking at the waiter who was trying to curry favor with Lady Li.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, especially when he saw the hatred in Li Niangzi's eyes.
She hates everyone.
She hated her greedy parents for selling their own daughter.
She hated the shameless businessman who had exploited her since she was a child.
He hated Lady Li, who had replaced him, even more.
Look, she's still here!
The guys in the building started fawning over their new owner, just like dogs.
And the guests in the audience, they had long forgotten their past with him.
Even the guests who claimed to love Miss Zhao's music the most switched sides.
They had all applauded her before, saying that her song was the best in the world.
Zhao Jinxue was furious when she saw Li Niangzi pretending to lift her skirt.
On the surface, she gives the impression of being delicate and frail, but she doesn't act like that when she's fighting.
Seeing that Lady Li was being escorted away by the waiter, he thought no one knew and stretched out a foot to trip her and embarrass her.
Ideally, I'd like to fall flat on my face.
Li Niangzi stared speechlessly at the outstretched foot, wondering how this person could be so cunning.
Li Niangzi pretended not to see and stomped hard on Zhao Jinxue's foot.
And when Zhao Jinxue let out a pig-like scream, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Sister, are you alright?"
Why are you stretching your legs out so far? I was so busy talking to the waiter I really didn't see you. Sorry, did I step on you and hurt you?
Zhao Jinxue grimaced in pain, her eyes practically rolling back to the sky: "Can't you hear my screams or are you deaf? How dare you ask if I was stepped on?"
He was about to step back when the waiter stopped him.
"What? Did you just ignore what the shopkeeper said?"
I saw it clearly just now. It was you who deliberately stuck out your foot to trip Lady Li, but Lady Li accidentally stepped on it instead.
If you cause trouble again, don't blame us for not showing any mercy and sending you straight to a brothel.
Zhao Jinxue was shocked to hear that Xiao Er, who had previously fawned over her like a lackey, now dared to speak to her like that.
"You damn dog! You've already found a new owner in just half a day. You sold me to a brothel without even knowing your own worth. You're just a dog, yet you think you're so important."
This lady was handpicked by Master Liu; the money has already been paid, and today he's going to carry this lady into his mansion.
"When I become your wife, you'll be nothing more than a dog in this building. What right do you have to yell at me?"
The waiter was thoroughly scolded by Zhao Jinxue and was very resentful.
The waiter snorted and said, "Hmph! She really thinks she's the first wife. She's just an old man's concubine, and she really thinks she's something special."
I heard that the old man takes on countless concubines every year.
The concubine was tortured to death, and then the next concubine was brought in.
Someone like you, who knows how many people are brought in and out every year.
I just don't know if your body can handle it, how long you can last, haha.
After the waiter finished speaking, he covered his mouth and giggled. Li Niangzi, who was standing next to him, also covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled twice before following the waiter into the backyard.
Only Zhao Jinxue remained standing there, her mind replaying Xiao Er's words, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
Seeing that the music downstairs had ended, Su Muyao, who was upstairs, waved to Xia Xia as she looked at the large table of food on her table.
"It's been so long, don't be shy, sit down and eat with us."
Xia didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on a stool, immediately showing off the huge table of delicious food.
"Princess, this precious duck is really delicious. Come on, you should try some too."
As he spoke, he used unused chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for his young princess.
Su Muyao tasted the duck leg that Xia had put in her bowl, and it was indeed delicious, just as Xia had said.
There weren't many seasonings in ancient times, but they were all natural and made without any artificial technology or heavy-handed methods, resulting in delicious flavors.
Unlike in my previous life, where everything was fake, especially food, where the flavors were mostly created using advanced technology, this time it's different.
These rustic stir-fried dishes from the countryside are incredibly delicious.
The two ate until their bellies were round, then paid and went out for a leisurely stroll to digest.
Just as I was about to reach my own grocery store, I saw a shop not far away carrying things out.
Xia went up to ask and learned that the owner of the house had gambled away a lot of money and had run away.
Sure enough, when the people from the gambling den came to move their things, they soon saw one of them posting a notice at the shop entrance.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the sign meant the shop was for sale. Looking at the price tag, it seemed reasonable, so I nodded to Xia.
Xia Xia tore down the newly posted notice and took it into the shop.
He asked the people working inside, "Who is in charge here? Our young lady wants to buy this shop, and we'd like your manager to come over and discuss the price."
Upon hearing that they were looking for their boss, the people working inside hurriedly went to the side room in the backyard to fetch him.
"Boss, wake up! Someone wants to buy this shop."
A fat man in his thirties or forties was snoring loudly just a second ago.
The next second, he was woken up by his own younger brother. The man was furious and stood up to hit the person who had woken him.
After hearing the person in front of him repeat what he had just said, he rubbed his chin and asked in confusion, "Didn't I just tell you to stick it on not long ago? How come I've been asleep for a long time?"
The young man quickly shook his head: "No, we just put up the sign, and someone came to our door wanting to buy the shop."
"Great, someone wants to buy it so quickly? That means they're satisfied with the price. Maybe we can raise it a bit later?"
The younger brother looked up in confusion: "Didn't we agree on a price? You can raise the price again."
What I was really thinking was that the price had already been clearly stated, and now that someone wanted to come and negotiate, would they still want it if I suddenly raised the price?
But thinking of his older brother's temper, he could only swallow the words that were about to come out.
After the steward was asked to leave, he saw that the newcomer was actually a little girl with a maid.
He chuckled and said, "Young lady, you are truly remarkable. I admire your ability to handle things on your own at such a young age."
After saying this, he rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
Su Muyao could tell from his demeanor that he was up to no good.
But the person in charge was surprised to find that the girl in front of him was just a little girl, and he was already plotting how to trick her out of more money.
