C15 Heartache

"What kung fu, it's just some superficial knowledge." After saying that, Ji Chengyu added, "Didn't you see me practicing boxing at home every day? Today, I used these moves to defeat that thief. "

"Really?" Faang Shuyao had always felt that he was hiding something from her.

"Of course it's true. Previously, I didn't care too much about it, but now that I'm married to my wife, I naturally have to protect her. "I've said that all books are useless to the scholar, and that my studies have not produced any results. If I still can't find other ways to make up for it, I would feel very uneasy in my heart."

Faang Shuyao looked awkwardly to the side as Ji Chengyu's words were filled with sincerity.

"I'm hungry, hurry up and order."

While they were eating, Faang Shuyao couldn't help but ask, "You really don't like Young Master Zhao anymore?"

Ji Chengyu raised his head and glanced at her, then nodded, "Who hasn't had the arrogance of a young person? Now that we are both married, we shouldn't let down the present."

Ji Chengyu only wanted to cut off the relationship between him and Young Master Zhao, but Faang Shuyao understood another meaning...

After they finished their meal, the two of them continued their rounds around the store. After leaving the restaurant, the two of them went to the opposite cloth farm. After entering, Faang Shuyao reported her identity. The shopkeeper politely greeted her before starting to busy himself. It was as cold as the other houses in the morning.

If Faang Shuyao had been too busy at the beginning, she would have thought that the shop was too busy and they wouldn't have had the time to talk about the matter of the shop.

Faang Shuyao looked at the shopkeeper and threw the account book on the table with a "pa" sound. She said coldly, "The storekeeper has such a big dignity. "Even I, Family Head Faang, don't care about you. If you act so arrogantly, how can I dare to use you again in the future?"

"Eldest Miss must be joking, this humble one is just too busy. I neglected Eldest Miss for the moment, so this humble one is here to see Eldest Miss off."

Faang Shuyao pulled over a chair and sat down. "The shopkeeper said it so lightly. I don't think I heard any hint of sincerity from him." Pushing the books by his side, he said coldly, "You made all these books, right?" Do you think I'm an idiot or an idiot?

"This... This … "Young miss must be joking, this is not a fake account, this is the shop's account book." The storekeeper wiped off his cold sweat and said while gritting his teeth, "If young miss has any doubts, you can ask this little one. If this little one isn't clear, you can ask Manager Lee."

"What a joke, this is the first time I've heard that a shop you manage requires you to ask an outsider even though the accounts are unclear. Shopkeeper, does this mean that you don't have the ability to hold the position of shopkeeper? Since that's the case, then we might as well change our Silk House as soon as possible. "

"Eldest Miss, calm down, Eldest Miss, calm down. I didn't mean it that way, I …"

"Since that's not the case, then tell me about the accounts and goods. This account book of yours has the latest 10 pieces of silk from Jiangnan, but what I saw in the shop was an extremely ordinary piece of silk." There are three pieces of brocade on your account book, but there is none in this shop, and none on the sales. Did you eat those three brocades? "

"No, no, the brocade was just sold. I didn't even have time to write it down."

Faang Shuyao smirked as she closed the account book, "Did you not write it, or did you forget because you faked it too much? There's more here that I can't be bothered to tell you. I'll give you one day to clear the accounts in the shop. If you don't, you can pack up and leave tomorrow. "

Faang Shuyao locked herself up in her study after returning from outside. It wasn't until it was getting dark that she got up and went to the front hall.

Ji Chengyu sat at the table and read a book. When he saw him enter, he poured a cup of tea and passed it to her before continuing to read.

Faang Shuyao took the tea cup and took a sip. She glanced at the book in his hand and said, "Didn't you want to attend this year's High Scholar's Examination? How could you be in the mood to read these idle books?"

"In order to read a book, one has to pay attention to the combination of work and leisure. Reading books all day long makes one's brain knotted as well." Closing the book and recalling what happened this afternoon, he smiled and said, "I usually look at you as delicate and weak, I didn't expect you to have such a decisive side."

"Are you mocking me?" Faang Shuyao laughed disapprovingly, "As the Patriarch of the Fang family, if I can't be ruthless, how will I protect the life and blood of my Fang family? How will I feed this huge family?" "Ji Chengyu, do you think I am too unreasonable and harsh to the shopkeeper..."

"No, on the contrary, I think you did the right thing. There was no such thing as natural in this world. Moreover, since they took the Fang family's commission, it was only right for them to do things for the Fang family. On the contrary, they might not be able to recognize the greater picture, which is truly hateful. "

"You really think so?" A hint of joy surfaced in Faang Shuyao's heart.

"Absolutely."

In the evening, Faang Shuyao was probably too tired and went to bed early. Ji Chengyu lay on his bed, tossing and turning. When he got closer, he suddenly heard a scream just as he was getting sleepy. Ji Chengyu sat up and realized it was Faang Shuyao's scream when he came back to his senses.

"No, please, don't do this to me... I beg of you … "

"Madam, please wake up. Don't be afraid that you might have nightmares …" Ji Chengyu comforted her softly as he held her in his arms. Gradually, he calmed down.

Ji Chengyu looked at her eyebrows and wondered what she had dreamed of that she would be so scared. Thinking about it carefully, it was not easy for her to lose her parents at such a young age. She seemed to be from a big family, but she was being targeted by the jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.

Thinking about how a girl of her age was still in school, still acting like a spoiled child in the care of her parents, while she had to hold up the entire Fang family by herself …

Forget it, even though he wasn't a good person, he wouldn't despicably scheme against a little girl. Seeing that it wasn't easy for her, he would treat her a little better in the future.

Now, her biggest problem is the right to run the store and play games with that old fox Faang Xin. This was a long battle, and he couldn't be impatient. He had to be careful with every step of the way. Seeing that she treated him well, he decided to mention her more often in the future.

On the second day, the sky was overcast, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment. Faang Shuyao was sitting in front of the desk, looking at her account book. Ji Chengyu was sitting beside her, reading a book. The atmosphere was exceptionally good. At this moment, Maidservant walked in.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is here."

Faang Jiaqing? What was she doing here?

"Let her in."

After Faang Jiaqing had entered, she saw that the two of them were sitting facing each other. From time to time, they would glance at each other, and the atmosphere between them was extremely ambiguous. He felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.
