The next day, Su Li returned to the Qinghe Town with Xiaowu and Datian who were full of expectations for the future and with Wang Lizhuo who was full of worries.
Su Li agreed to Wang Lizhuo’s request for following Xiaowu temporarily to expand his horizon. Unexpectedly, Wang Li didn’t prevent Wang Lizhuo because she thought that it was a good thing for her son to work for Su Li, a miss from the Qinghe Town.
After Su Li and others left, the Yinguang Town was in trouble again. Half of one hundred charred corpses transported from the Blood Refining Hall were missing. There was no man-made trace as if those charred corpses without limbs came back to life and then ran away from unremarked common graves.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he was seriously ill. He then asked people to investigate whereabouts of those corpses but got no clues.
“Su Li, when can we complete the construction in the hillside?”
Seeing that
Wang Fulai still wanted to say something but the door of the Tianzi Room opened as if people inside heard their talking.Seeing that Su Li and Wang Fulai stood outside, Su Huanli was stunned. Then he shouted delightedly, “Li, you finally come!”“Does Li come?” Zhu Yan came out of the room and asked.Seeing that well-dressed and energetic Su Li was more graceful than she was in the Dasu Town, Zhu Yan had a deep sense of crisis.Zhu Yan thought, “I must completely deal with Su Li this time. If I don’t take actions and allow her to grow arbitrarily, her origin will be exposed after she arrived in Yunjing.”Although Zhu Yan thought that in heart, she said with a gentle smile, “Our Li is increasingly beautiful.”“Second Sister!”At this moment, Su Zipei came out from the side room holding Mam. Su-Cui. Then she looked at Su Li adoringly as if she had always admired her sister in this way.
Su Li came to the embroidery workshop early next morning. Administrator who was busy processing orders was really happy when he saw Su Li, because Su Li didn’t come for a long time.“Workshop Owner, I haven’t seen you for ages. I heard from Dean Wen that you hanged out. How about your trip?”“Thank you for your concern. The Qinghe River was really beautiful.”Su Li replied with a smile and then said, “I come here for collecting my salary in the embroidery workshop.”Jia An stunned and then smiled, “Workshop Owner Su, you are the one I have ever seen who didn’t care about salary at all. I thought that you have forgot your salary, because you hadn’t mentioned it for four months.”“You are joking, Grandpa Jia. In fact, I…”Su Li told Jia An the situation of the Su Family. Although Su Li said in a soft tone, Jia An frowned a little. He never thought that virtuous Workshop Owner Su should be bullied by her fami
Su Huanli bought a satisfactory land which was on the diagonally opposite side of the Linli Building. It took his own 50 thousand taels and Su Li’s four thousand.It was worth mentioning that there were few people in this street before. But now, it had the potential to be the most crowed place because of the Linli Building. So, the rent here increased. That meant that if Su Huanli bought the land four months ago, he only needed to spend 20 thousand taels of silver.“Fortunately, this building was a restaurant originally. Although it is a little old, I can renovate it after I get profit from it.” Su Huanli thought.Looking at the newly-bought land, Su Huanli complained, “If I knew that the price of land here would increase, I would buy it earlier. Why didn’t Su Li tell me earlier?”Su Huanli went to the second floor. He opened the wooden window and then closed it with detestation. Seeing the long queue outside the Linli Building, Su
Jin Ruolan said so loudly that nearly all the onlookers heard her. Su Huanli stunned and then he was a little angry. He didn’t understand why Jin Ruolan satirized him as he never offended the Jin Family and the Lin Family.Thinking of the strong power of the Jin Family and the Lin Family, Su Huanli forced a smile and flattered, “Childe Lin and Miss Jin are really a golden couple and we really admire you.”Hearing Su Huanli’s flattery, Jin Ruolan was extremely delighted. Jin Ruolan knew that she wasn’t worthy of excellent Lin Yanxing. She could marry Lin Yanxing just because of the strong power of the Jin Family. But Su Huanli flattered that she and Lin Yanxing were well matched, so, she was really complacent now.Seeing that Su Huanli flattered the couple of Lin Yanxing and Jin Ruolan immediately, Yan Ziye and Yan Hongxiu looked disguisedly. Both of them thought that Su Li’s families were really as disgusting as they heard before.
Mam. Su-Cui was back to Dasu Town. She asked the Su Family to find the whereabouts of the witch right away, but the news she got startled her.“What? The witch died?”Li Yin standing in front of Mam. Su-Cui lowered himself and nodded, “Yes, it is said that she died suddenly. Many people said that God punished the witch because she had said too much that she shouldn’t say.”“God punished her...”Mam. Su-Cui whispered and then shouted madly, “It is great that she was punished by God! She said that I would get a grandson, but where is my grandson now? My poor grandson, oh…”Mam. Su-Cui sobbed as she said. Li Yin didn’t know what to do at this moment, but he guessed that the third baby of the First Madam was still a girl....Mammy Li was the last one to know that the fifth baby of the Su Family was still a girl from the midwife. She was really happy about that. She thought, “The First Madam reall
“...It’s not you?”Fang Yuan was a little surprised. It’s not Fang Yuan’s fault to suspect Su Li. It’s just because Su Li was too calm when she heard that the official sliver was found in the Baiwei Building just now. That’s the reason why Fang Yuang would suspect her.“If you have time, you can think about how to save the situation.”Seeing that Su Huanli was dragged away by officers and soldiers, Su Li said coldly, “I don’t have time to rebuild the Linli Building in other provincial capital.”Seeing that Su Li left, Fang Yuan frowned a moment, but then he was relieved.After thinking carefully, Fang Yuan was sure that Su Li didn’t arrange people to steal the official silver. Because if she did so, the Linli Building would also be in trouble and the prosperous situation of the Linli Building would be destroyed. Fang Yuan only saw that Su Li hated the Su Family but forgot that Su Li had her own principles.
Eighteen years ago, a talented girl Su Yun was born into a poor family in the Qinghe Town. Although Su Yun’s family members were poor peasants for successive three generations, her father and mother tried their best to let her go to school. They thought the best result was that she could read as many words as possible and got married with a good husband. To their surprise, Su Yun showed a great talent in literature and was enrolled by Wen Ruomin, a new dean of the girls’ school.The teacher and student relation was naturally not the normal one in the school. It was more of an intimate connection between the master and apprentice in the martial arts circle. Wen Ruomin regarded Su Yun as her biological daughter and taught her carefully. Su Yun didn’t let Wen Ruomin down. Su Yun successfully passed the initial test and went to the Traditional Chinese Culture Academy in Yunjing at the age of sixteen. One year later, she would become a female official of the Dahan Country.
“Lord, the people of the Lin Li Building are here.”A subordinate reported when Yan Shixun and his daughter were looking at each other in consternation.Yan Shixun immediately came to himself and then ordered with a solemn look, “Hongxiu! Stay here. I will trust you with an important task. The Satrap’s Mansion will be very weak after we leave. Use the bow in your hand to protect the Satrap’s Mansion and your mother. Can you do that?”Her father assigned an important task to her for the first time. Seeing his solemn look, Yan Hongxiu immediately felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility. She nodded with heartfelt delight and said, “Father, rest assured. Even a mosquito cannot fly into the Satrap’s Mansion!”“Good! This’s my girl!”Yan Shixun praised her. Then he immediately ordered someone to take Hongxiu to make arrangements.Seeing his father successfully coax his sister with just a few words, Yan Ziye
