1951 Words
The fat boy ran away the fastest and didn't even dare to say a threatening word. "Humph! How dare you bully Zhe'er! Don't let me meet you, or I'll beat you every time I see you!" Su Qingqing picked up the books they dropped from the ground and handed them back to Zhe'er. She gently held Zhe'er's shoulder and comforted him, "Well, it's okay. Sister Qing has avenged you." "Wow! Sister Qing!" Zhe'er, who was full of grievances, hugged Su Qingqing and burst into tears. "Be good, behave. It's okay. Sister Qing will protect you." Su Qingqing patted Zhe'er's back lovingly and comforted him softly. Inadvertently, Su Qingqing caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the alley from the corner of her eye. ###Chapter12,The Mysterious Peony "Sister Yu..." Su Qingqing looked at the person at the entrance of the alley, whose expression was extremely ugly, and softly cried out. "Zhe'er." Jin Xiangyu softly called out to the little girl in Su Qingqing's arms. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her large red robe made her face look pale. "Mom..." Zhe Er raised her head from Su Qingqing's arms and whispered shyly. "What? You call her 'Mother'?!" Su Qingqing seemed to have discovered something shocking. She widened her eyes and cried out in a strange voice. "Bullshit! If Zhe'er didn't call me mom, would I still call you mom?" Jin Xiangyu rolled her eyes at Su Qingqing, walked over, grabbed Zhe'er from her arms, and held his hand tightly. "Mom, Zhe'er is wrong. You don't want to play anymore. Don't blame Zhe'er, and don't punish Sister Qing, okay?" Zhe'er looked up at Jin Xiangyu, who stared at Su Qingqing angrily. She pouted her lips and begged in a low voice. "Come back with me!" Jin Xiangyu pursed her lips and coldly replied. "Hey! Is Zhe-er your own child?" Su Qingqing thought that Jinxiang Yu was going to force Zhe-er to receive the guest, so she became angry again. At worst, she would throw Jinxiang Yu away to the prison. Today, Zhe-er's business must be settled! "How can you be a woman's mother! You are such a little child, but you are actually willing to force him to pick up a guest. Although he is beautiful, after all, he is a boy! If you do this, you will ruin his knowledge!" Su Qingqing scolded him regardless of the situation. Silence. Jin Xiangyu stared at Su Qingqing like she was looking at a monster for a few minutes, and only then did she roll her eyes at her. She coldly said, "What are you mad for? When did I force Zhe'er to receive you?!" "Don't pretend to be innocent! Didn't you force Zhe Er to meet a guest that day? That's why he cried and ran to the backyard!" Su Qingqing curled her lips and rolled her eyes. Originally, she thought that Jin Xiangyu was a hot-tempered person, but at least she thought that she was a good boss since she never forced a girl. However, when she forced her son to accept the guest, Su Qingqing thoroughly talked about her from the bottom of her heart. "Miss, you have to help others in the future. You'd better find out the situation first!" Jin Xiangyu was amused by Su Qingqing's thoughts. She scolded her and shouted at her. But after all, she was worried about Zhe-er so she explained patiently, "I forced Zhe-er to see Scholar Feng of Shang Academy that day. I wanted to let him test Zhe-er's intelligence and then beg Astrologer Feng to accept him as a disciple! If it weren't for the fact that we made a very successful contract on Scholar Feng's mother's birthday and made the old woman happy, I wouldn't have agreed even if I gave hundreds of taels of gold to her!" "Then why do you take him away fiercely every time?" Su Qingqing asked doubtfully. "If I don't catch him, can he obediently read and write? I don't care about him. Should I just let him take over this Blue Moon Hall like me?" Towards the end, Su Qingqing noticed that the corners of Jinxiang Yu's eyes were slightly moist, but as strong as she was, she immediately returned to her previous tough appearance. "Instead of studying hard, you're just messing around. When we get back, I'll punish you to write down big characters a hundred times!" Jin Xiangyu was still angry as she waved her hand and pretended to pat Zhe'er's buttock. "Well, okay." Zhe-er nodded her head tamely. She knew that her mother's anger was gone. 100,words was not a big punishment for him at all. He had done homework 60,times every day. "And you! From now on, you don't need to wash dishes in my Moon- invite house!" Jin Xiangyu turned around and glared at Su Qingqing. "What? You're going to send me to jail?" Su Qingqing suddenly panicked. "Mother! Don't send Sister Qingqing to jail, don't, don't!" Zhe'er broke free from Jin Xiangyu's hand and tightly hugged Su Qingqing, crying. Jin Xiangyu refused to let go. "Are you kidding me? I've been raising you for so many years, but you're no match for someone who's only played with you for a few days, aren't you?" Jin Xiangyu shouted out of jealousy when she saw her son being so clingy to Su Qingqing. "Mother—"Zhe'er looked at Jin Xiangyu with a long voice of a child. "Alright, alright, who said that I'm sending her to jail?" Jin Xiangyu poked her son's forehead with her finger and gave him a look of annoyance. She then looked at Su Qingqing and said, "Since you're so fond of meddling in other people's business, then I'll leave the matter of watching Zhe-er's studies to you! If he doesn't properly study and gets scolded by the teacher one day, I'll get even with you!" "I really don't need to wash the dishes?" Su Qingqing cried out in surprise. "If you really want to wash the dishes, I won't object." Jin Xiangyu looked at Su Qingqing disapprovingly, said slowly, and turned away. "Tonight, Dingfeng Study will send us a new batch of cakes to try. If some people don't want to eat them, just continue standing on the street!" Jin Xiangyu threw a few words from a distance as they passed the alley. "Wow! There's something to eat in Dingfengzhai. Great, Sister Qing, let's run!" After all, Zhe'er was still a child. She cried sadly just now, but now when she heard that there was something delicious, she was immediately happy again. When Jin Xiangyu announced that Su Qingqing did not need to wash the dishes in the future and was only responsible for accompanying Zhe'er to study, Su Qingqing immediately snorted with disdain when she saw Hua Lingzi. She turned back to the room and slammed the door shut with force. Obviously, she still remembered what happened that night. Now that Su Qingqing no longer washed the dishes, it would be difficult for her to retaliate. How could she not feel uncomfortable? Since Su Qingqing accompanied him to read, Zhe'er had become much more obedient. In order to listen to Su Qingqing's story, he would work very hard every day to finish the homework set by teacher. As for the deal with Lin Fugui, although the incident of Zhang Tianbao stealing the book, in order to get the ten skewers of sugarcoated haws, other dishes, and the things that Su Qingqing faintly expected, Su Qingqing still accompanied Zhe'er to send the manuscripts every day. Maybe Zhang Tianbao was afraid of Su Qingqing, so he no longer embarrassed Zhe'er. As the largest teahouse in Luo Yao City, the name of "The Mysterious Little Peony" gradually began to spread among the common people after Su Qingqing's story was popular. However, places like "The Wolf-Moonside Market" were not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, although many people were guessing what the "The Mysterious Little Peony" was, they could only talk about it in private. One day, a wealthy guest suddenly came to the Moon-bewitchingside and threw out a large stack of banknotes. He said that he wanted to look for "my mysterious little Peony". He wanted her to come out and receive the guest immediately. "Oh, this old man looks unfamiliar. Is this the first time you're here? There's no such a girl on our Moon-beIstanbul District!" Jin Xiangyu paused for a moment at first, but then immediately went over to greet him with a smile. She swung her handkerchief and said with a smile, "The mysterious little Peony is not here, but there are plenty of flowers of other species. Which girl do you want to have a drink with you? Furong, Xiaoju, Sakura?" "Don't be so long-winded! I only want the mysterious Peony, I don't want to see all the others!" The guest's face sank. He slammed hard on the table and pointed to the pile of notes on it and said angrily, "Are you afraid that I can't afford to pay for it? Be smart!" ###Chapter13,The Hot Red Girl The words of that person immediately aroused the resentment of everyone in the Moonolactone Hall. Jin Xiangyu was known for being unreasonable, but when she saw that this person was once again a rich and rich person, she immediately retorted sarcastically. "Alas, this uncle, I'm not afraid you can't afford it. It's just that the guests from the Moon-blossom Workshop are all elegant guests. You're so fierce, but I'm scared of all the girls here. If one of them is scared sick, then the Left Prime Minister, the Minister and the Grand Preceptor will be in trouble when they're going to meet these girls!" "What are you trying to do! Using a high official to pressure me? I have plenty of money. You're the one who will receive guests the moment you open the door. Stop acting like a stranger! You're really putting on airs!" The man's words were crude and vulgar. Hua Lingzi and the rest of the ladies, who had always thought of themselves as virtuous and lofty, turned green with anger. "Haha! You're right. I have set up a monument for all the girls here, not to entertain wild dogs on the roadside!" "Prince Mu!" The moment they heard the seductive voice of the wind and saw the man leisurely walking in while shaking his folding fan, all the girls in the room cried out happily as if they had seen a savior. "Ah... You call me so intimately that my legs are soft." Yuwen pretended to shake, but his eyes sharply glanced at the pile of banknotes on the man's table, and he couldn't help but smile. "Tsk tsk, aren't you going to spend some money on hooking up with beautiful women at the Moonhold Market?" Yu Wenhan quickly pulled out a banknote from his banknote and showed it to the crowd. He said disdainfully, "The official seal on this banknote is carved with a carrot. Look, the water stains on it are still so obvious." Then, Yu Wenhan placed the banknote near his nose and sniffed it. He shook his head and said, "Oh, the smell of the r****h is still there. Sigh! How stupid!" "Who said that my banknote is fake?" The man quickly snatched the banknote from Yu Wenhan's hand and yelled fiercely. However, his voice was obviously lacking in confidence. "Sure. Do you dare to go to the government office with me and ask someone to test it?" Yu Wenhua glanced at him with a smile and said slowly like a cat playing with a mouse. "Fine! I'll go! I'm not afraid of you!" The man was still pouting, but immediately, he covered his stomach with his hands and said with a frown, "No, I have a stomachache. I'll get even with you when I come back! Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you're the prince. I tell you, I have someone above me!"
