Li Shanbao’s face looked pale. Every year, there were many talented people from Dahan Country. Of course, he knew that Su Qingtan really had the ability to rank among the top talents of Dahan Country.
When the imperial examination was over, Su Qingtan would inevitably be famous and become a newly appointed high official in Yunjing. At that time, he’d be too big to care about one hundred Baiwei Buildings, let alone one.
“Damn it, why didn’t I realize that Su Qingtan was a man of great potential!”
Li Shanbao squatted down to pick up the examination notice and asked Li Wei to write another letter in a hurry. It was to his family that could be packed with the examination notice, Li Shanbao knew that Su Qingtan had now obtained some power which was beyond his control.
“Will we just give the Baiwei Building to others?” Li Wei seemed reluctant.
“How confused you are!”
Li Shanbao reprimanded him and said coldly, “
Although they got the news that Su Li cooked, they didn’t know the specific appearance of Su Li. Therefore, they were puzzled.“This... miss.” The teenager patted the folding fan and smiled gently, “Why are you staring at us and is there anything wrong?”Su Li blinked her eyes and looked him over from his body to his perfect legs.The teenager was shocked, while Ling Mo was full of vigilance in his eyes. He saw that the girl was clearly known to the young master. But…how was this possible? Even in Yunjing, there were few people who had seen the master’s face.The air crackled with tension.Su Li’s eyes flashed as if there were tears. After a long time, she said in a low and hoarse voice, “You... Do you know me?”The teenager felt confused. He couldn’t recall this girl, even after he sifted through his memories from his childhood to the present. But, from her reaction, it was clear that she knew him.
Back in the Jinyuan Court, Su Li treated the wounds on her arms.Although the antidote pills detoxified the poison, the wounds were opened because Su Li moved a lot and the blood stained a large part of her sleeves.“Fortunately, there is no injury to the bones. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.”Su Li bound up her wounds without any expression, as if she could not feel the pain. But the cold sweat on her forehead betrayed her.She carefully put on clean clothes and used special medicine to melt the blood on the stained clothes. Then she was completely relaxed.She boiled a bucket of hot water and lay in it while avoiding getting her right arm getting wet. Then, she took a sigh of relief.After a few moments of silence, she opened her eyes and mumbled to herself, “Blood Refining Hall...”She heard the name many times in her previous life. It was one of the top five famous killer organization
Qu Qingning could never have expected that Su Li was a reborn person from a previous life or that she had seen Wu Jin’s true features in her previous life.When Su Li saw Qu Qingning, she immediately knew that he was a conman!“If I marry this person. Once his identity is exposed, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei would be very happy, ho ho...”Su Li understood everything but her face still wore a gentle smile. She walked slowly to Qu Qingning and bent lightly. She said gently, “Su Li is here to give greetings to Master Wu.”Qu Qingning was stunned by her appearance. He had heard the name of Su Li in the Dasu Town but had never expected that there was such a pure and beautiful person in this poor town!He had lived in the Nanjiang Country for more than one decade but never seen such a beautiful girl. He almost drooled.“Big brother, hold on!”Heidan whined inside and couldn’t move his eyes from Su Li. He w
Fang Yuan saw that his playmate looked pale. He shook his head and smiled, “Qingning, I would never betray you. It isn’t what you think.”“But she…?” Seeing Su Li gracefully walking towards him, Qu Qingning was full of doubts.“Su Li is my friend. I only pretend to be a waiter in the Baiwei Building. Su Li also takes care of my sister,” Fang Yuan explained. During this period, the money that Fang Ling needed for food, accommodations, and medical treatment all came from Su Li. Fang Ling now regarded Su Li as her sister. Even when he argued with Su Li, his sister would support Su Li. Qu Qingning was stunned. In his eyes, Su Li was a miss of a big business family who did not know much about life. Now it seemed that the matter was more complicated than he had imagined.“Well, would you like to help me?” Su Li said with a light smile, “I can give you what Mrs. Zhu offered you and even more.”Qu Qingning was s
“Little bastard, you go too far in bullying me!” After a pause, Zhu Yan said with difficulty, “How much more do you want?”“Only 3,000 taels. Then I’m sure to have your order done!” Qu Qingning bent over and rubbed his hands. His eyes shined. This let Zhu Yan think of a hungry wolf with green eyes.“3,000 taels! Plus the 1,000 taels I gave you before, you ask for 4,000 taels.” Zhu Yan blushed and turned pale, “Little bastard, do you really think I wouldn’t fight desperately?” If this is exposed, you will be put in jail!”“Madam, I have grown tired of your small threats.” Qu Qingning dug his ears and looked fearless, “I’m barefoot and I can escape at the worst. But you are different from me. Your foundation is in the Dasu Town. 3,000 taels is a cheap enough price to keep all that. What do you think?“… You!”Zhu Yan felt angry. The little beast had obviously made a thorough inquiry into her life’s details. No wonder he
The coldness of the night was quite heavy. Su Li returned to the Su House with cold dew on her clothes. Before she took off her cloak, she saw Nanny Li who said, “Miss, a disaster is imminent! The First Madam was badly beaten by the Master. The reason is unknown.”Su Li couldn’t help but feel astounded when hearing what Nanny Li said. Would Su Huanli really beat Zhu Yan?What did Qu Qingning do in the end that made Su Huanli so furious. Although she proposed the plan, she did not expect the effect to be so powerful.Su Li dressed herself up and then left the Jinyuan Court without having dinner.The Jinyuan Court was not far from Zhu Yan’s wing-room. Just passing through two small courtyards, Su Li set foot on Zhu Yan’s site.It was the first time for her to set foot in this West Wing-room since she was reborn. But since her mother was injured, it wouldn’t be right for her not to visit.In the room, Zhu Yan
Su Zipei was eating a drumstick. She frequently turned to Su Li, who was being mistreated, and looked proud.Li Yuelian was also very annoyed. After all these years, the old woman still remained partial towards Zipei!Su Huanli couldn’t bear it. When he was ready to give the chicken wing in his bowl to Su Li, his mother stopped him quickly and the chicken wing was sent back to his bowl. She said, “You are so busy with your business, so you need the nutrition. Eat it!”Su Huanli’s lips squirmed and he saw his mother’s warning eyes. He sighed finally and stuffed the chicken wing into his mouth.Su Li sat on the edge of the table and she ate the cooked rice one bite after another. The whole table was so large, but she couldn’t even stretch her arms.Su Li really felt thirsty while eating, so she picked up a spoon to drink some tofu soup.Slap!The spoon in her hand was slapped down by Mam. Su-Cui
Qu Qingning was felt a burst of cold. He stared at Su Li’s slightly curled lips. Although her appearance didn’t change, he felt that the maiden in front of him was a She-Devil with changeable disposition rather than a good-hearted maiden.Illusion?Qu Qingning shook his head and then looked at Su Li who didn’t even laugh again.It really was an illusion.The Su House without Su Li became exceptionally harmonious and didn’t have any fights. Su Li lived in the Baiwei Building feeling happy and quiet. It was more convenient for her to dress up and go to the Baicao Tang from here.After Zhu Yan’s injury healed, her room was full of tonics which were bought by Mam. Su-Cui.However, she was not pleased!She had bought off a witch but that only changed Su Li’s living place. It also made her clearly aware that if she could not separate Su Li from the Baiwei Building, she could not throw Su Li out of t
