Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Who was Yan Lu? Simply put, the current empress’s surname was Yan.

Chen Yong looked down on these relatives from the bottom of his heart. However, Yan Lu was powerful and was an unshakeable existence in the court.

It could be said that under the control of the Yan Family’s gang, no other voices could be heard in the court. Otherwise, Yan Lu would not dare to do such a thing as embezzling the official money for building dams.

In Chen Yong’s opinion, those old fellows in the royal court who did not do their jobs had already decayed and were beyond redemption. The reason why he retired from his original position was also to set his sights on the new strength of the royal court in the future. The younger generation was the future of the royal court and even the vast empire.

He had chatted with Teacher many times in private. The crown prince seemed to be amiable, but under the Yan Family’s influence, he could not help but act domineeringly.

It was not that there were no wise princes in the Imperial Family, but they were either unlucky or had taken the wrong step. In short, they had long left the stage of the competition for the throne.

Occasionally, there would be censors who would criticize the Yan Family’s style or the Crown Prince’s words and deeds. However, without exception, these people would either change their words or encounter misfortune.

It was fine if it happened once or twice, but it was always like this. Even a fool could tell that it was unusual.

However, the crown prince’s party cleaned up the mess neatly and did not leave any evidence behind. However, the more they did this, the more worried Chen Yong and Dean Lu were. If the crown prince ascended the throne, what would Great Xia be like in the future?

At least now, in the entire court, there were very few voices questioning the Yan Family and the Crown Prince.

Was no one really aware of the dam? They were just protecting themselves and staying out of it. Even if they knew that once this matter broke out, countless innocent lives would be harmed—it could be seen what the Great Xia’s Imperial Court had become!

Under such circumstances, the Third Prince, who had an awkward status, actually dared to go against Yan Lu. Chen Yong had no choice but to think highly of him. However, it was hard to predict people’s hearts, so that was all for the time being.

The two of them exchanged the information they had found and realized that the key was still the young man who was recuperating in the Shen Residence and was still unconscious. Chen Yong said, “The Lei Family being so ruthless means that that young man must have obtained some important evidence. This evidence might be related to the Lei Family, but it’s more likely to be related to Yan Lu.”

Rong Yan felt the same. He frowned. “We can’t lose this person. Please tell Lord Shen not to let anyone get close to that young man, including my people.”

Hearing that last sentence, Chen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself that His Highness was quite cautious.

He naturally passed the message to County Magistrate Shen. Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao happened to go to the Shen Residence with Yun Yi. She was going to return the things that she stuffed into the space when she saved the man, but she gave up decisively after hearing that.

In order not to let her get into trouble, no one knew that she was also involved in saving him. Yun Yi asked, “Why don’t I bring Miss Ning in secretly?”

Xiaoxiao looked at him as if he was an insensible brat. “I became a thief when I was a guest. Do I still want my face after I’m caught?”

Yun Yi felt that he had been underestimated. “Miss Ning, to be honest, no one in the Shen Residence can catch me.”

Xiaoxiao nodded perfunctorily. “Alright, alright, alright, you’re the best. I’ll get Little Big Brother to increase your monthly salary later.”

She didn’t take this matter to heart. She turned around and was pulled by Mrs. Shen to discuss the new shop. Then, she took out the contract valiantly and made Xiaoxiao sign it immediately as if she was fighting with Li Muyan.

Xiaoxiao opened the contract between laughter and tears and saw the different terms at a glance. She looked at Mrs. Shen in confusion. “I’m the boss too?” It said that Ning Xiaoxiao was one of the owners of the elegant abode.

Mrs. Shen shrugged smugly. “Otherwise, how can I make you willing to put in more effort?” She would not say that she was jealous of the designs that Xiaoxiao had drawn for Shopkeeper Liu!

Wasn’t it just a cloth shop? She had a dowry shop too! Why did Li Muyan, that brat, get to have the first pick?!

“It’s just in name. Even if there’s really trouble, I won’t let a brat like you worry. Don’t worry.”

In the past, Xiaoxiao would not have been bothered to take on the job. However, this contract now not only represented her reputation in the shop, but it also represented millions of points!

Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Mrs. Shen, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best for this shop.”

After thinking for a moment, she said, “I heard that your chef is quite talented in making snacks?”

Mrs. Shen was stunned. She asked in disbelief, “You want to?”

Xiaoxiao smiled innocently. “Madam, our elegant abode will definitely be filled with guests in the future. Xiaoxiao doesn’t have three heads and six arms. How can she settle so many mouths alone? Why don’t you send someone to help me?”

Mrs. Shen was caught off guard by the pie that fell from the sky. She just didn’t want her sincerity to lose to Muyan. How did she get such a big surprise?

“Are you sure?” She had a lot to do. If she needed someone to help, wouldn’t the person have to follow and witness the entire process? This was more or less the same as taking in a disciple, right?

Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, “Then, shall I think about it again?”

Mrs. Shen hurriedly straightened her face. “You can’t go back on your word. You have to keep your word. Just you wait, I’ll find someone for you now!”

Xiaoxiao laughed. “There’s no need to be so anxious.” Then, she wrote her name on the contract.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the shop-opening mission again. You have received 10,000 points as a reward for opening the shop. Your current balance is 16,500 points. After testing that this shop has met the subsequent mission requirements, all goods sold by the shop in the future can be rewarded with points!]

When Xiaoxiao heard this, her first reaction was—why did “So It’s You’”s points increase so much less than in the morning? Then, she thought for a moment, looked at the sky, patted her head, and bade farewell to Mrs. Shen.

It was probably out of stock.

Actually, Xiaoxiao had taught Second Brother the simple milk tea ratio, but he gave up after trying it himself. It was the same for the guards. Hence, when Xiaoxiao returned to the shop, she saw Second Brother and her parents packing up reluctantly.

She was not surprised. She did not plan to sell the goods too late. After all, she was young and everyone had to go home at night.

Second Brother was rubbing the account book and muttering, “If we sell it for a while longer—”

Xiaoxiao continued, “It would be dark!”

Second Brother turned around and glared at her. Xiaoxiao suddenly had a thought. “Second Brother, Father, Mother, why don’t we buy a house in the county? This way, we won’t have to travel so much!”

The three of them paused for a moment and quickly sped up. They packed up quickly and decisively. No one could bear to close the shop early anymore.

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She did not expect to fool them successfully in one go.

She went forward and glanced at the account book that Second Brother had recorded. Her head ached when she saw his winding and rugged handwriting. She couldn’t help but got Second Brother to count and she wrote again..
