Several young men nodded hurriedly and patted their chests to express their loyalty.

"Don't worry, girl, we will do a good job!"

"We promise not to do anything the girl doesn't want us to do."

Seeing the sincerity of what they said, Shen Nian nodded with satisfaction and continued: "If you work hard, I will pay each of you a corresponding monthly payment. Although it is not much, it is definitely enough for your living."

"... Of course, I will deduct the overlord meal you guys had today and the damage caused from your wages."

As soon as these words came out, several silly boys were stunned.

Pay back the monthly payment?

If you can make money openly, no one wants to be sneaky.

After hearing what the little boss said, the young men's faces turned red with excitement.

"Thank you girl!"

"We must work hard."

at last.

The teenagers who came to collect protection money but offered a job happily left the Shen family fast food restaurant.

When the other shop owners saw this, they turned around and let out a sigh of disgust.

An unearned moth!

After the boys who came to collect the protection money left, Dapeng's father said with some worry: "Sister Nian, those boys are gangsters. What will happen if they cause trouble to the store?"

Shen Nian said confidently: "They don't dare."

If someone who is about to fall off a cliff stretches out a hand to them, they will just try their best to grab it.

Although Dapeng's father didn't know where Shen Nian got the confidence to regain those gangsters, he was not a talkative person, so he didn't say anything more.

Shen Nian added a little more, "Uncle, you can think of it this way, if we take the gangsters on the street into the store, no one will dare to come to the door to cause trouble again."

"...That makes sense."

After settling the matter in the store, Shen Nian planned to go to Xiao's Mansion to discuss tung oil cooperation.

Longyang County is very large, with streets extending in all directions.

Since the border stabilized, things have become lively here.

"Miss, this place is poor as hell, but it deserves to be the hometown of the Qing princess. The embroidery is so exquisite, it can be compared with the one in Linglong Pavilion in Zhongdu. It's really amazing."

A familiar voice reached Shen Nian's ears.

She turned around and looked.

It was the maid in Tsing Yi who made a special trip to give Brother Man a thank-you gift.

Today she was not wearing Tsing Yi, but was wearing a pink satin dress, and she still looked pretty.

Next to the maid, stood a girl with beautiful appearance and gentle temperament.

This is the most beautiful woman Shen Nian has seen since coming here.

The charm is natural, and the movements are full of beauty.

Shen Nian likes all good-looking things. Seeing how good-looking this person was, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The woman seemed to be aware of it and turned her head to meet a pair of hopeful eyes.

She was startled slightly and smiled.

That smile hit Shen Nian's heart.

My gentle and gentle elder sister is so beautiful.

at this time.

The maid whispered something to the woman, and Shen Nian saw surprise flash in the man's eyes, and then he walked towards her.

"...Can I invite the girl for a cup of tea?" Jiang Qingci asked.

Her voice is also nice, gentle and soft, like the breeze blowing on her face in the morning.

Shen Nian shook his head and refused, "No, I have something else to do."

Jiang Qingci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's it, then we'll make an appointment next time."

The smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all.

His demeanor is eye-catching.

It was undeniable that it was elegant and beautiful, but Shen Nian felt that it would be tiring to hold it like this.

"Okay." She responded, turned and left.

The maid was a little dissatisfied, "Why is this little girl like this? She doesn't understand any rules. It's her blessing that the lady has asked her..."

"What kind of blessing is this?" Jiang Qingci's eyes flashed with self-mockery.

Then he said in a calm tone: "Rules are set by superiors for the purpose of 'restriction'. How many women have suffered from them, I think..."

There is no reason why Miss Shen has to agree to my invitation. She can choose to go or not. It is her freedom. "

On the contrary, she was a little envious of that girl.

The vitality and vigor in Shen Nian's body, the freedom from worldly constraints, the light in his eyes, the freedom and relaxation emanating from his whole body... all made Jiang Qingci envious.

"I know I was wrong." The maid admitted her mistake.

She knew that her young lady was different from the domineering young ladies in Zhongdu. The young lady had compassion for all things in her heart, and her heart was softer than the clouds in the sky.

And this is also the reason why they are willing to stay by the lady's side to the death.

Jiang Qingci: "Go back."

After the master and the servant had finished shopping, they set off back to Zhang Mansion.

Behind the two people, several figures followed closely, not far but not close, obviously protecting the people in front of them secretly.

Back at Zhang Mansion, a letter from Zhongdu was delivered.

Jiang Qingci opened it and saw the content in the letter that made her long eyelashes tremble slightly and her heart was in a mess.

Li Yuzhu was kicked out of the Duke's Mansion by Liu Guogong?

She should be happy, but thinking about the several confrontations with Li Yuzhu, she couldn't be happy.

Jiang Qingci knew that Li Yuzhu was not a person who accepted his fate. He was full of tricks.

Where is Liu Sheng? What did he think?

Liu Mansion.

Liu Sheng was whipped thirty times by Liu Guogong for contradicting his father.

"Do you realize your mistake?" Liu Shaoxing asked in a cold voice.

Who doesn't know that Liu Guogong relied on military merit to achieve his current status.

He is skilled in martial arts and extremely cold-blooded.

Except for the young and missing daughter, there is no tenderness in her heart.

That's why he showed no mercy in his actions.

Liu Sheng was lying on the ground, his back was covered with blood, and his clothes were in strips.

Embarrassed.

His face was pale in pain, and there was sweat on his forehead. He said harshly: "My son doesn't know."

Liu Guogong may not know what Liu Sheng is thinking. He just thinks that the Duke's mansion is rich and noble, and it is easy to raise a little girl. He scorns his approach of driving Li Yuzhu out of the Duke's mansion.

"Ha!" He sneered, "Young man who doesn't know the sufferings of the world..."

Liu Sheng was very concerned about his father's opinion of him. When he heard this comment, his body stiffened and a cold wind rushed into his heart.

His expression remained stubborn.

Liu Guogong: "How courageous."

After sheathing the whip, the frightening aura disappeared.

The servant finally dared to breathe.

However, Liu Guogong's following words made everyone worried again.

"Mr. Liu San is really affectionate and righteous, which is very touching."

There is no yin and yang in it, but it just makes people feel that something is wrong.

"In this case, I think Young Master Liu will be able to live a good life without the protection of the Duke's Mansion..."

What's the meaning? Liu Sheng's heart was pounding and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Duke Liu Guo looked at Liu Sheng condescendingly and said in a cold voice, "When you go out to live alone, when will you know the suffering of the world, and when will you come back."

Liu Sheng's pupils tightened as if he was struck by lightning.

"You want to separate me?" he asked.

"No." Liu Guogong uttered one word, and the next words were as bad as watching a good show, "You will be given a house, good farmland, and a shop and money. You have gone out alone, and the government will not give you any help..."

After a pause, he continued: "Let's go out for half a year."

If you still can't carry it clearly, then...heh.
