One couldn’t tell anything from her looks, but this girl was really born with a sharp mouth.
Shouldn’t women be gentle and demure?
Shuqin awkwardly clenched the pastry in her hand, but she secretly spat in her heart.
As expected of a bumpkin from the countryside, valiant and unreasonable, not even having the moral character that a woman should have.
Shuqin tried her best to smile. “I’ve already taken out these desserts, so I don’t have to take them back. Anyway, you can keep them first. If you need anything in the future, just shout in the courtyard and I’ll be able to come and help you.”
“I don’t care who sent you here and what your intentions are, but I advise you not to look for trouble for yourself.”
It was tiring to block the door.
After Yue Jiaojiao finished her sentence, she didn’t want to hear another word from the other party, so she closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Shuqin was given a cold shoulder. She returned to the courtyard next door and threw the pastry in her hand in the corner.
“We followed this woman here from Huai County. What does he want from her? This girl had never been raped before. When did he have such a good temper with women? If he wanted her, he should’ve just snatched her away in the first place!”
“My matters are not something you should meddle in. You just have to do what I tell you.”
As the two of them spoke, Lin Yunxu pushed the door open and entered.
He had rushed over from Huai County after receiving the news of Jiaojiao being here. He entered the room and glanced at Shuqin coldly. “Since you’re so unwilling to do what I’ve told you, You can go back to Huai County. You don’t need to do this anymore.”
Shuqin did not expect Lin Yunxu to come over. She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground as quickly as she could.
“I’m wrong. I shouldn’t have talked about your decisions behind your back.” Shuqin lay on the ground, her head touching the ground, and her voice trembled. “Please forgive me this once. I won’t dare to do it again.”
Lin Yunxu kicked Shuqin away and sat on the main seat. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t have many people I can use in Wangshan Town, I wouldn’t have let you off easily. Go down and get something to eat.”
She had been pardoned, so Shuqin respectfully bowed a few more times before leaving. “Thank you for your magnanimity. I’ll go to the kitchen to make something to eat.”
After Shuqin left, Lin Yunxu looked up at the attendant beside him. “How was it? Did you find the secret recipe of that man surnamed Zhao?”
“Not yet,” Dingli said in a low voice.
“That Zhao guy stayed at the inn yesterday. He didn’t make tofu. I didn’t dare to get too close to his village. Otherwise, it would be suspicious for an unfamiliar face to suddenly enter the village.”
“But I saw Zhao Zhan moved a lot of things to the next room these few days. We should be able to find the recipe for making tofu if we keep an eye on it these two days.”
Lin Yunxu lowered his head and fiddled with the ring on his finger. His eyes were cold and his thin lips parted slightly. “Keep an eye on him carefully. This Zhao guy left Huai County and even colluded with Manager Zhou to set me up. I can’t rest until I take revenge. Did you find out the background of Zhao Zhan’s wife?”
Dingli suddenly knelt on the ground and lowered his head. “I only know that her maiden name is Yue Jiaojiao. As for the rest, I haven’t found out yet. I don’t know which family she’s from either.”
“Yue Jiaojiao…”
Lin Yunxu mumbled playfully, then laughed out loud. “She’s really a delicate person. Just hearing her name makes me like her more and more.”
