"Why isn't Mr. Huang here anymore?"

"Mr. Huang said that he has a new grandson and wants to go back to the village to retire." No doubt about it, Mama Du replied with a smile.

This argument sounded reasonable, enjoying the pleasures of nature was also human nature, Mr. Huang was now old, and it was understandable for him to go home and have a good time.

However, when I found out that my grandmother was sick a month ago, I had someone investigate the family background of this Huang Lang.

He had only one daughter, and she died when he was about eighteen. Soon after that, his wife followed her. And the reason why he escaped to this border was also because he was unable to save his own daughter who was having a difficult time giving birth. He felt guilty and had no face to face with his own clansmen and the family of his father-in-law.

Where did such a person get such a grandson?

I stared at the censer, which gave off a strange aroma.

Was there any universe in this small copper furnace? Should I stop Mama Du from giving it to Grandmother?

It's only been two days, and there's probably nothing to stop it. I don't have any evidence in my possession, but now that people are making a ruckus, it wouldn't be good to arouse suspicion.

I thought about it for a moment, then swallowed what I was about to say.

It was only when the lamp was lit that Grandmother finally woke up. Her face was flushed and brimming with energy and vitality. I couldn't help but to suspect, could it be that I was being overly worried?

My grandmother and I sat opposite each other on the kang for dinner.

I only used a bowl of porridge, but my grandmother had a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and two cinnamon rolls.

Mama Du smiled and served the meal to her grandmother. Seeing her grandmother's appetite was so good, she felt relieved.

Being able to eat was a good thing, but the sudden increase in appetite was extremely abnormal.

Obviously, I couldn't tell Mama Du about my doubts. She might not understand my worries, but she might think that I was being unkind to my grandmother.

I wanted to ask my grandmother about the outer room, but it seemed like this was not the right time. If Grandmother was confused, could I really compare to her?

After talking to Grandmother, I saw that she had rested for a while, so I brought Lu Kui and Lan Lingyun back to the house.

The next morning, I received a reply from Miss Jiang. In the letter, she thanked me for my fan, saying that she and her sister were very fond of it. Then, turning the conversation around, she mentioned the dinner party on the fifteenth of May and told me that I must come. In the end, she said that her father told her about the strange and unpredictable situation in the capital. The emperor had reprimanded several aristocratic families with a hundred years of reputation, including the Xue, Qin, Chen, and Meng families.

I couldn't help but exclaim, to be able to raise such a pure and pure daughter, the Jiang family really has a good home style. I asked about the inner chamber, but Eldest Miss Jiang was able to tell what I wanted to ask and avoid making trouble.

To my surprise, General Jiang was able to discuss the situation in the capital with his daughter!

Most men didn't like having a wife involved in their own affairs, let alone a daughter who hadn't left the pavilion yet. General Jiang could not help but call it coarse but thin, with a ravine in his chest. It's good to be smart, but don't use the wrong place.

He had just received Miss Jiang's letter when Shopkeeper Xiao came in the afternoon.

Lan Ling and the green bandit in a flurry of hands and feet pulled the screen in my room before inviting him in.

"Why is Shopkeeper Xiao looking for me?" I smiled happily as I sipped my tea.

The tea swirled in my mouth, and I spit it all out.

The tea brewed by Lan Lingyun, especially the Da Hong Pao, was so bad that it cost a person's life. However, she still didn't know it. Every time, she would volunteer to make me a cup of tea.

"Go and serve Shopkeeper Xiao a cup of tea." I pointed to the teapot on the kang table and instructed the green bandits with a smile.

Green Cock looked at me uncertainly.

I smiled and nodded at her.

In the end, Green Bandits took the pot and went out to get Shopkeeper Xiao some tea.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, please try the tea in my room!"

I'll let you fool me! I can be deceived if I am a young girl who does not care for matters. This is truly too unkind, then I will let you have a taste of what it means to have a taste of your own suffering.

Seeing me carry a teacup, Shopkeeper Xiao had no choice but to pick up the white jade lotus leaf teacup in front of me and slowly swipe the tea leaves on the surface of the water with the lid.

"Are you looking down on my tea?" I put the teacup on the kang table.

"No!" "No!"

Although we are both working for the Prayer King, in the end, I am still the Lord and she is a servant. There is no way he can surpass me in matters of face.

I just grabbed on to that and wanted to tell him, to control me, no way!

Seeing that Shopkeeper Xiao's face twitched after drinking the tea, a smile couldn't help but surface on my face.

Lan Li, who was at one side, could not help but get angry. She whispered into my ear, "My tea is not that bad. He is exaggerating too much!"

My smile deepened.

After the tea, it was time to get down to business.

Shopkeeper Xiao stood up and cupped his hands towards me, who was on the screen. "Please step back, Miss. I have something to discuss with you in detail!"

Last time, the person beside me was Lu Ping. To him, she's one of his own, so there's no need to hide. Lan Ling and Lu Kui, on the other hand, were my maidservants from head to toe. Shopkeeper Xiao naturally wouldn't discuss the conspiracy with me in front of them.

Lan Ling and Lu Ke are my people, and I face each other day by day, with honor and disgrace, some things can not be hidden for a while.

"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. There is nothing that I cannot let the girl beside me know." Rookie came back from outside the screen and stood beside me.

I told her to stand guard outside the house and not let anyone near.

Shopkeeper Xiao couldn't just go into the screen and drag Green Cock out, so he had no choice but to speak up.

"Miss is really intelligent, I did do something with the accounts."

This person was boasting shamelessly! He said that he would do the wrong thing, but he said that he was confident and confident.

"Then how long are you planning to keep this a secret from me?"

"Since Miss has already seen through it, I will naturally not hide it from you." Manager Xiao smiled brightly.

The green bandit went to the outer room and brought the account book in and presented it to me.

After a quick search, I was shocked. The store had earned 2,300 taels of silver in its first month of operation.

This was truly getting rich day after day!

I've never heard of a proper teahouse making that much money!

My heart trembled as well. I took a deep breath as I tried my best to calm my mind.

"Although this shop is convenient for us to contact, it is still an estate under my name." Laughing, I touched the bumpy veins of the passionflower on my teacup.

When Shopkeeper Xiao understood what I meant, he split the two lumps of meat on either side of his chubby face and laughed heartily in the middle.

"Miss, don't worry. The source of this money is clear."

A single word of innocence can get rid of me? It seems that Shopkeeper Xiao still hasn't seen clearly what kind of person I am.

I smiled as I played with the jade ornament with the word 'Ziqi' on it. The golden light reflected off the golden threads and shone on Shopkeeper Xiao's body.

"However, the officials of the past would always go to the teahouse to have a cup of tea before they continue their journey."

Even though he had fallen, Shopkeeper Xiao's expression was still calm.

I suddenly missed my brother Green Pingping very much. Her personality that could be provoked with just a few words was even better than Shopkeeper Xiao's tricky look that made me happy.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, you should have told me earlier so I could be at ease." I smiled and turned back to the green bandit. "Go! Give Shopkeeper Xiao another cup of tea! "

Lu Kou saw that I was in the same hall as Shopkeeper Xiao, so he happily poured Shopkeeper Xiao another full cup.

"Sir, please enjoy." I pointed to the teacup. Manager Xiao had no choice but to carry another one.

Manager Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "The tea leaves in Miss's room are very unique." I smiled as I picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was indeed unique, my teacup only contained warm water.

"Shopkeeper Xiao, if you like it, then add another cup!" I enthusiastically instructed the Rookie to go out and refill the cup for Shopkeeper Xiao.

"No need! No need! I'm not thirsty! " Manager Xiao quickly stood up and thanked him.

"Why are you being so courteous to me, sir! I love the jade pendant that mister has sent me, but I haven't thanked mister! "Today, tea can be used as a wine bar!" I laughed gently and heartily.

I hung the jade pendant on the sweat towel on Green Bandits waist. Green Bandits happily carried a pot of tea and went out to refill Shopkeeper Xiao's cup.

When Shopkeeper Xiao saw that the shiny golden jade pendant was hung on the servant girl's waist, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

I'm sure this jade pendant has some meaning. However, Shopkeeper Xiao disobeyed King Qi's order and didn't tell me the exact function of the spell. Since that's the case, I pretended that I didn't know and treated it as an artifact to play with. Since it was only an artifact, there was no harm in giving it away.

"Miss, please keep the jade pendant properly."

"It's only a jade pendant, so the reward is very ordinary." I touched the embroidery on my sleeve.

I could feel Shopkeeper Xiao's sinister gaze through the screen.

"This jade pendant belongs to Young Master, it can be used as a servant to command workers." Manager Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

The green bandit came back and gave me the jade pendant.

Shopkeeper Xiao wasn't sure if he could speak freely, so it was common for him not to mention King Qi. But what did the servant mean? Was it a group of highly skilled and powerful dark guards next to King Qi, or was it the court minister who followed him?

I pinched the jade pendant and asked, "Servant or subordinate?"

Shopkeeper Xiao's face was so dark that he could squeeze out water. He clenched his teeth and only replied with one word.

"Of!"

It seemed like this jade pendant could command the courtiers who followed King Qi! How generous of you to give me such a jade pendant.

I served tea and sent off the guests before I smiled at Shopkeeper Xiao. "Even though you have a lot of work to do, I'll have to trouble you to personally come once a month and tell me about the situation in the store."

Didn't you want to control me from head to toe? Then I'll give you a chance to keep track of my whereabouts. I'd like to see if your palm holds me, or if you're being played with by me.

Shopkeeper Xiao was obviously very satisfied with this suggestion. He smiled and agreed. He got up and bid his farewell before leaving.

When Lan Lingyun saw him leave the room, she went in and put away the screen with Green Bandits.

"Miss, although Shopkeeper Xiao is your head storekeeper, he is after all an outsider. Every month, he would come visit you. Miss Yu has good reputation." Green Cock took the teapot from the table and advised me.

I shook my head, signaling her not to say anything more.

Having just been reborn, I also hesitated on whether I should remarry in this life. Every time I think of my unborn child, I feel a heart-wrenching pain. Xue Lang was gentle and considerate. He and I had opened our house and we had no elders to serve us. We had no children to raise our children, and we also had countless trivial matters to deal with in our daily lives. In this life, I will never run away with someone unjustly again. Since I am seriously married off, I will naturally serve my parents-in-law and have children.

After experiencing the twists and turns of my previous life, I no longer had the intention to live together with my wife, and even more so, I didn't want to carefully serve my husband.

Since that was the case, he might as well hold his future in his hands long before the age of marriage. Once you have reached the age of 15, you can live a peaceful life by yourself.

If I hadn't made up my mind, how could I have accepted the God of Heaven's scheme?

"Go!" Let's go to Grandmother's for dinner! " I stood up and patted my wrinkled clothes.

In the end, there were some things that were more important than planning. It was better to take things one step at a time.
