Chapter 172 - 172 Rich Woman

172 Rich Woman

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao understood.

The client was not from the prefecture capital’s circle. He did not know that she had offended the prefecture lord, so he had the guts to invite her.

“When are we leaving?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Manager Sun said, “Tomorrow morning, the day after tomorrow at the latest.”

!!

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Alright, I’ll go to town.”

Manager Sun said awkwardly, “You… are really not hesitant? That’s the prefecture city. What if you meet the prefecture lord again…”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “If they dare to invite me, I dare to go.”

Su Xiaoxiao went to town mainly to see Dean Shen and Aunt Fu and ask if they had anything to bring to Shen Chuan and Grandmaster Hui Jue.

Ever since she saw Shen Chuan’s condition in the prefecture capital last time, Su Xiaoxiao vaguely wondered if sending Shen Chuan to the prefecture capital’s academy was the right decision.

As usual, she took the back door. Then, as expected, she was robbed of five pancakes by the old man guarding the door.

She entered the academy with a dark expression.

Coincidentally, Dean Shen had gone out with Young Master Xiang. The servant said that he would only return three days later.

“Looks like we can only do it next time.” Su Xiaoxiao asked Zhou Xing, “Is Jing Yi around?”

Zhou Xing said, “Young Master Jing isn’t here either.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Alright, I’ll come again next time.”

Just as she left, two men walked out from behind the screen.

It was Wu Mu and Qing Xuan.

Bai Ze and Hong Luan, one in the light and the other in the dark, had followed Jing Yi out.

The two of them stayed.

“What are you doing?” Qing Xuan asked.

Wu Mu touched his square face. “Don’t you think there’s something wrong with that girl?”

Qing Xuan said, “What’s the problem?”

Wu Mu said thoughtfully, “Yuchi Xiu has appeared. Do you think his master won’t be nearby? I suspect that I wasn’t seeing things that day. The person with her was the youngest son of the Wei family!”

Qing Xuan said, “Didn’t Young Marquis ask us not to interfere in this matter? He hid it from Young Master.”

Wu Mu said seriously, “This is the most terrifying thing! The Young Marquis has only known this girl for a short time, but he actually didn’t confess any suspicious signs to Young Master for the sake of this girl! The Young Marquis must have guessed something and didn’t want Young Master to hurt her, so he deliberately didn’t say it to Young Master.”

Qing Xuan was silent.

He had to admit that Wu Mu’s guess made sense.

Wu Mu made up his mind. “I’ll follow her! Let’s see if the youngest son of the Wei family is at her house!”

“Hey! Come back! You…” Qing Xuan did not manage to stop him.

Wu Mu used his top-notch qinggong, flew over the eaves, and left the academy like a ghost.

He was about to catch up.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist!

“Aiya, what the…”

Who the hell was playing with a slingshot?

Wu Mu was hit.

The small stone hit his vital point.

His entire body stiffened, and all his strength suddenly dissipated. He fell down and fell facedown!

Crack!

His leg was broken.

F*ck…

He would have to recuperate for a long time…

Outside the backyard door, a servant looked up at the white clouds in the sky. “Are you shooting blindly? You made me waste a stone. Where’s the bird? It didn’t hit anything! How can you be stronger than me? You only know how to brag!”

The old man threw the slingshot back into his arms and took a bite of the crispy pancake. “Delicious.”

“My leg is itchy. Hurry up and remove the splint!”

“I’ll tear it down for you when I get back from the prefecture city.”

“A few more days?”

“That’s right!”

Aunt Fu was speechless.

Aunt Fu still asked Su Xiaoxiao to bring a bottle of health pills for Grandmaster Hui Jue.

Grandmaster Hui Jue looked to be in a good state. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think it was a big deal whether she ate health pills or not. However, the quality of the Fu family’s food had always been guaranteed. It was beneficial to the body.

As Su Xiaoxiao left with the health pills, Aunt Fu began to secretly remove the splint.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t turn around, as if she had eyes at the back of her head. “If you dare to remove it yourself, I’ll put a cast on you!”

...

Aunt Fu was speechless.

At Little Su’s house, the entire family learned that Su Xiaoxiao was going to the prefecture city.

Su Ergou was very excited. He could go to the prefecture city again. He was so happy!

Father Su was a little uneasy. “Daughter, we’re not robbing the Prefecture Lord this time…”

“Okay, Dad!” Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

He only said that she would not rob the Prefecture Lord, but he did not say that she would not rob others, right?

Father Su muttered,” Why do I still feel strange…”

The family worked in the backyard.

Wei Ting returned to the room and took a sip of water.

Yuchi Xiu flashed in.

...

“Sir, do you need me to protect you in secret?”

“No need.”

“Why?”

“You like to cause trouble.”

“I don’t!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous commotion in the backyard.

Boom!

It was Liu Ping’s new donkey shed that had collapsed.

Whoosh!

It was the woodpile that Su Ergou had just piled up that had scattered.

Pfft!

It was the stove in the kitchen that suddenly burned.

Su Yuniang was trying to make noodles when the basin suddenly exploded, and white flour splashed all over her face!

Su Yuniang let out an angry lion roar. “Who did it?!!”

Yuchi Xiu was speechless.

According to Manager Sun’s instructions, he had accepted a big order. It was a total of three days. One day for worshipping the ancestors, one day for inviting guests, and one day for family banquets.

Indeed, what followed was a very generous reward of 100 taels a day.

“It’s just that our reputation isn’t established yet. Otherwise, not to mention a hundred taels, I could even negotiate a thousand taels.”

These were Manager Sun’s exact words.

It was impossible to determine if it was true or not.

However, 300 taels were really tempting. It was undeniable that Manager Sun’s ability to accept orders was indeed nothing to complain about.

At night, Su Xiaoxiao packed her things in the east room.

Su Yuniang came to look for her. “I’m going out for a few days.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where are you going?”

Su Yuniang said, “I have something to do. Before that, I want to go back to the Su family and get my things back.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “You mean your private savings? Aiya, I’m going to the prefecture city. I have to pack. I’m so busy.”

Su Yuniang said, “Ten taels!”

Su Xiaoxiao said angrily, “Who do you think I am?”

Su Yuniang said, “Gold.”

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her chubby hands. “Sigh, it doesn’t matter if it’s gold or not. I just want to take a walk at your house.”

Su Xiaoxiao carried the butcher knife and returned to the Su family with Su Yuniang.

Now that the Su family saw Su Yuniang, it was as if they had seen a jinx, and there was a little fiend beside the jinx.

The Su family’s eyelids twitched, but when they saw the butcher knife in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, they couldn’t say a word.

The Su family did not know how much money Su Yuniang had. If they had known, they would not have used a hundred taels to frame Su Yuniang.

It could only be said that poverty limited their imagination.

When they saw Su Yuniang dig out a large box of gold from the crack in the wall, the Su family was dumbfounded.

They had always thought that Su Yuniang’s money was given by the Zheng family. If she divorced the Zheng family, it meant that Su Yuniang had nothing.

If they had known that Su Yuniang was so rich, they would have worshiped her no matter what!

They really regretted it!
