Outside the door of Su Li's room in Jinyuan, Nanny Li looked terrified. She kept knocking on the door and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Miss, are you here? Miss, don't scare me!"
"let me!"
The old housekeeper came in a hurry with a serious look on his face. Just as he was about to kick open the door, the door suddenly opened. Su Li, who was wearing a thin lining, came out and said with a confused look on her face: "Nanny, grandpa housekeeper? Knocking so late at night." What's going on? I was so deep in sleep that I didn't hear you."
Nanny Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. Miss, you don't know. Just now, an assassin came to the Su residence, and the third lady almost suffered an accident."
"Ah?!" Su Li's eyes widened with horror.
Li Yin still had a serious look on his face. After he went into the house and inspected it carefully, he felt a little relieved. There was no sign that anyone had entered the room. It seemed that the assassin's target this time was the third lady.
"Butler, I want you to go to the main courtyard to discuss matters."
At this time, a message from the guard came from outside the door. Li Yin nodded slightly and did not forget to warn: "The Jinyuan guard will be doubled, and don't let down your guard during the day."
"yes!"
After Li Yin left, Jinyuan returned to calm. Grandma Li didn't dare to let Su Li sleep alone, so she took the bedding from her own bed and made a bed directly next to Su Li's bed.
Su Li lay flat on the bed, her black hair spreading all over the bed like a waterfall.
Aunt Li's even and deep breathing could be heard in the dark night, and Su Li smiled slightly. Sure enough, there were people who couldn't wait to kill the "cooking genius", but if Su Zipei died in vain, wouldn't it ruin her chances of being reborn? interest.
In the middle of the night, the main court was discussing matters, and everyone tensed up. After a full hour of discussion, everyone dispersed and went back to rest.
Su Huanli felt extremely tired. As she walked back to the house, her eyelids twitched. Negotiating with the Zhu Yang family for most of the day, and something like this happened again in the evening, it was really disturbing.
Suddenly, he heard an extremely small sound of conversation and felt that it looked very familiar. He couldn't help but quietly leaned towards the direction of the sound.
"Since I can't marry Su Zipei, then no one can get her!"
"...Trash! You can't even kill a woman, yet you dare to say that you are a stranger in the world?! It really pisses me off!"
The sound gradually faded away. Su Huanli was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to go out and take a look. If the killer was still there, wouldn't he be asking for death if he stepped forward? !
When the sound completely disappeared, Su Huanli stood up and looked at the direction in which the sound left, which was the west courtyard.
He was completely sleepless and felt a cool air from the soles of his feet to the sky. His nephew was so vicious. Was this his intention or the Yang family's
Su Huanli left absentmindedly, but did not notice that the black shell in the grass was slowly moving towards the west courtyard.
Early in the morning, Su Li woke up and touched her pillow, and immediately felt a smooth shell-like object. She grabbed it with one hand and opened her eyes. The thing in her hand was the "Sound Recognition" Gu.
"It's really a spiritual Gu. It can find its owner on its own."
Su Li secretly praised her. After stopping the killer last night, she made some arrangements and dropped the Gu insect on Su Huanli's only way back to rest. It would be great if she could successfully frame the Yang family. Even if she didn't succeed, there would be no harm to her.
"Miss, big news!"
As soon as she got dressed, Grandma Li hurried in from the outside and said, "I don't know why I'm so crazy. I believe it's the murderer sent by the Yang family. Today, Master Yang and Miss Su are about to be kicked out of Su's house." .”
Su Li was neither surprised nor happy in his heart, but on the surface he was surprised: "Cousin Yang's family is actually such a vicious person? It's really terrible."
"yes!"
Aunt Li had a look of fear on her face. She couldn't help but get goosebumps when she remembered that the two people had met yesterday.
At the door of Su's house, Su Yuezhu was so anxious that she burst into tears. She grabbed Su Huanli and said, "Brother, what are you doing? How could the killer be sent by Wei'er? He is your nephew."
"Yes, uncle! Even if I am a bastard, I would never do such a heinous thing!" Yang Wei explained anxiously.
Su Huanli sneered, "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. I heard clearly what you said last night, but it's useless to say anything now. It's no longer your Yang family's turn to make the final decision on Baiweilou's industry, and you Yang's profits Don’t even think about getting your hands on half of it!!”
Yang Wei was stunned. What did he do last night? He wasn't talking to his mother... What did he say? Could it be that he was talking in his sleep
"Su Yuezhu, you are so cruel that you have even harmed your brother! You should go back to your Yang family. You don't have to go back to the Su family in the future."
Su Huanli said a harsh word, rolled up his sleeves and left, leaving Su Yuezhu sluggish in the wind.
But now at the county government, Li Shanbao looked at the man in black who bowed his head in front of him with a gloomy expression. The man looked honest and honest, but he was actually committing murder and arson.
"You said someone stopped you, or was it a master?"
After silence, Li Shanbao finally spoke. The tight body of the man in black suddenly relaxed, and he explained in a deep voice:
"He only tapped my wrist lightly, and my whole arm was numb and uncontrollable. That strength was definitely not something ordinary people could possess. He must have been a stranger practicing Xuan Gong. Fortunately, what I threw there was just an ordinary spirit. The steel dagger will not be identified.”
"I didn't expect that there are experts in the Su family."
Li Shanbao frowned and said nothing. Of course he was not willing to let Baiwei Lou make a comeback under the hands of the Su family. The best way was to kill Su Zipei, but he didn't expect that he was almost exposed.
"I can't let you out of jail directly until you finish the matter. But since you have taken the risk this time, I will make the decision and reduce your sentence by half. What do you think?"
When Li Shanbao said the reward, the man in black looked slightly happy, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, magistrate, so I will go back to prison first."
"Go ahead."
Li Shanbao waved his hand, and after the man in black left, he couldn't help but sneered sarcastically: "What a powerful stranger, who is as powerful as you, the Black Star Killer, but you are in prison and you are not at my mercy."
Under the leadership of the jailer, the man in black returned to the dirty and smelly dungeon. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, leaving only pure calmness.
"If it weren't for Young Master, I, the dignified Black Star, would be too lazy to deal with this kind of scum. However, this time I went out and got some information. The rice dumplings invented by Young Master actually appeared in Dasu Town. I can't go out again for a short time. Anyway... that's it. There’s no rush, just wait until you’re released from prison and report back to the Young Master.”
Three days later, the Su, Zhu, and Yang families gathered together again. Su Li could hear the quarrels coming from the main courtyard as far away as Jinyuan. When the sun went down, Su Huanli sent the Zhu Yang family away with a smile on his face. It seemed that the profit distribution of Baiweilou had been decided.
The turmoil was settled so quickly, and the three companies resumed cooperation regardless of their past grudges. Su Li was not surprised at all. Baiweilou has completely closed down. Time waits for no one. If the closure lasts for a long time and there is a serious loss of customers, all their efforts will be in vain.
During dinner time, Su Huanli specially called Su Li to have dinner with him. Su Li was surprised not to see Zhu Yan.
Seeing Su Li for the first time, who had become even more beautiful, Su Huanli couldn't help but swallowed secretly. Why did this girl become so evil after not seeing her for a few days? He felt like his mouth was dry after looking at her for a long time.
"Erya, I have recently discussed with the Zhu family and the Yang family. From now on, the three of us will cooperate in Baiweilou. Each of us will share 30% of the profit. The remaining 10% will be up to you, Erya."
Su Li looked up in surprise and pretended to be confused: "Dad, I've heard about the closure of Baiweilou. But how can profit distribution have anything to do with me?"
Su Huanli smiled and touched Su Li's head, and explained: "Now Baiweilou still lacks a main dish that can carry the banner. Whoever among the three of us develops it first will get 10% of the profit. Erya, you know. Yet?"
Su Li suddenly realized: "My child understands. My child will go back to study the dishes now so as not to disappoint daddy."
Su Huanli burst out laughing, "Good boy, although this matter is urgent, don't overwork yourself and hurt your body."
"I got it, Daddy."
Su Li nodded obediently, not surprised at the ending. The last ingredient was clearly given to the Su family by the other two families, because they were simply incapable of producing main course-level dishes. The two families were also afraid that the Su family would be unable to contribute after taking advantage of it. Su Huanli and them should have other agreements, such as what to do if the Su family couldn't produce dishes...
Su Li already had a good idea of the main course, but she was not prepared to take it out too early. So after returning to Jinyuan, although she worked in the kitchen every day, she never made any progress.
Su Huanli suddenly became anxious and came to ask questions. Su Li looked bitter and sighed: "Dad, I also want to prepare a delicious main course, but I can't find many ingredients. I am also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice."
"What materials? Erya, you told me earlier, daddy will find it for you!"
Su Huanli said without thinking, and Su Li immediately handed him the prepared album. Su Huanli was so anxious that he immediately sent people into the mountain to search for him without thinking twice, and even mobilized other two families to look for him together.
Su Li sat in the courtyard, holding her chin with one hand and smiling. Such a lot of free labor would be wasted if not used. With the help of the three families, her progress in collecting medicinal materials will definitely be a big step forward. .
In the afternoon of that day, Su Huanli led a group of servants carrying various plants to Jinyuan.
After ordering people to pile all the plants in the courtyard, Su Huanli's face turned anxious and worried, and couldn't help but said: "Erya, can these wild flowers and wild vegetables really be used as seasonings? I have seen many plants with bright colors and ferocious looks. I'm afraid they are... It’s poisonous.”
Su Li knelt down to examine the poisonous weeds and said comfortingly: "Dad, don't worry. During the days when the child was kicked out of the family, he relied on wild fruits in the mountains to survive, many of which he had tasted. Although he is not sure about the rest, But you can also try it with a silver needle."
"That's good." Su Huanli breathed a sigh of relief, then froze and asked in a trembling voice: "Erya, what did you say?! Didn't your mother arrange for you to go to your distant cousin's house at that time?"
Su Li looked confused, "Distant cousin? Does my child have any distant relatives? My child almost starved to death outside. It was my eldest brother who saved me and brought me home."
Su Huanli felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. His mind went blank. He mumbled a few words and stumbled out of Jinyuan.
