NOVEL NEXT Chapter 176 Teasing in the Courtyard
Miao Xi was taken to the corridor by the maid. Miao Xi realized that the road was different from the way he came. When he was about to ask, his vision suddenly went dark and he was covered with a black hood.
Then, her hands and feet were tied, and two strong men lifted her up.
The maid on the side suddenly panicked: "Oh, what are you doing?"
Servant: "Don't worry about this matter. We are just following orders for the people the young master wants."
As soon as she heard about the young master of the Lin family, the maid Xiao He was so frightened that she ran away in a hurry.
Mao Xi kept struggling, but her body was petite.
Why is Lin Qiaoer so unreasonable? Where is she going to take me?
At this moment, his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth and he couldn't call for help.
It's over. If I had known earlier, I would have come to the Lin Mansion with Brother Mu.
Ten thousand regrets passed through Mao Xi's heart.
Mu Zhiyuan was absent-minded at the food shop. He was worried that Shu Xi would be in trouble at the Lin Mansion, so he finally decided to go and have a look.
When he arrived at the door of Lin Mansion, the housekeeper went out to greet him.
"Is the shopkeeper of Liuxiang Snacks still in the Lin Mansion? I'm here to deliver coffee beans to her."
"Your shopkeeper has left."
Mu Xi did not return to the shop. Mu Zhiyuan was worried that she would be trapped in the house, so he went to the back door, climbed over the wall and entered the Lin Mansion, looking for Mu Xi.
Lin Mansion, inside Lin Wencai's study.
Lin Wencai rubbed his hands together, lifted up Miao Xi's hood with a smile, and took off the cloth in his mouth.
Mao Xi looked around timidly. She and the strange man in front of her were the only ones in the room.
"Why did you tie me here?" Mao Xi's words trembled slightly.
"Little cook, I am the young master of the Lin family, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Hahaha..."
Lin Wencai's eyes were blurred, and when he saw that Mu Xi was not struggling, he came to Mu Xi's side and first untied the rope from her hand.
As soon as Ma Xi freed her hands, bang! A slap hit Lin Wencai on the face.
"Okay, young master of the Lin family, let me go quickly, or I, Brother Mu, will never let you go."
Mao Xi's little hand hit Lin Wencai's face, but he didn't feel any pain.
Lin Wencai touched the place where he had just been beaten, and said softly: "Little lady, I know that you are a cook, and I just want to ask you, are you willing to be friends with me? I will not treat you badly in the future!"
As Lin Wencai said this, he untied the rope under Ma Xi's feet.
With his hands and feet freed, who would bother with nonsense?
Mao Xi rushed towards the door.
Lin Wencai took out a short knife from his arms and threw it out. The knife stabbed firmly on the door frame above Ma Xi's head.
Lin Wencai stared at Shu Xi like a prey: "Hahaha~ Don't run! I'm serious, little lady, you can't run away."
After being stunned for three seconds, Shu Xi resolutely opened the door and ran out.
She stumbled all the way to the back garden. She had never been here before, and there were no servants or maids around.
Lin Wencai followed, chasing after Mao Xi and shouting: "Little lady, we are the only ones in this lotus garden. You can't get out without me to lead the way! You haven't answered me yet, are you willing to be friends with me?" "
Unexpectedly, the corridor of the lotus garden was like a maze. Mao Xi ran and shouted: "Is there anyone there?"
When she thought she was really going to be trapped in the garden, Mu Zhiyuan followed Miao Xi's voice and found her.
Lin Wencai saw a strange man enter his garden for no reason. He fisted and kicked Mu Zhiyuan. After three rounds, he was beaten to the ground by Mu Zhiyuan.
Mao Xi was rescued from the Lin Mansion by Mu Zhiyuan without any danger.
"The small Lin family actually dares to rob a civilian girl!"
"Brother Mu, don't tell grandma what happened today, I'm afraid she'll be too worried."
Seeing that Mao Xi was fine, Mu Zhiyuan escorted her back to Lihua Town.
Lin Wencai saw that the cooked duck had flown away, and he felt unwilling to do so. He went to Lin Qiaoer's wing and asked who the cook was today.
"Qiao'er, did you ask a cook to deliver fruit cakes to your house today?"
When Lin Qiaoer saw that her brother was so attracted to Shu Xi, he must have met her before.
"Brother, have you met the cook? She is the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Fruit Cake Shop. She is not easy to deal with. I was teased by her today. Brother wants to avenge me."
Lin Wencai found out about Mao Xi's shop, and without saying a word, he set off to the shop to look for someone: "What a little girl, let me see how you can escape from my grasp."
Only then did Lin Qiaoer realize that her brother had fallen in love with Shu Xi.
Haha, she laughed secretly in her heart. As a romantic young man, his brother never failed to get a woman he fell in love with. Even if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it with his own hands.
It seems that I don't have to do it myself, why not use my brother's hand to suppress the shopkeeper Shu Xi.
Lihua Town, inside Liuxiang Snacks.
Lou Lan'er noticed the panic on Shui Xi's face and expected that she must have been wronged when she went to the Lin Mansion today.
"Ah Shu, you delivered fruit cakes today, why have you been gone for so long?"
"Something happened in the house, but I still taught Lin Qiao'er a lesson." Shui Xi took out two taels of silver from her purse, "You see, Miss Lin is also a face-saving person, so I got excited and said, She was afraid of being embarrassed in front of her sisters, so she gave me her wages as well."
Lou Lan'er grabbed Shu Xi's wrist and looked at it carefully: "Ah Shu, you still lied to me, what's the matter with the binding marks on your wrists?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Mao Xi called Lou Lan'er into the inner room, and then told her everything about what happened today.
Lou Lan'er stood up and wanted to rectify the injustice for Ma Xi.
Mao Xi pushed her down on the seat and analyzed: "Sister Lan'er, don't act rashly. The jade pendant on Mr. Lin's body seems to be from the Caobang. I see that it has the words 'Cao' and 'Lin' engraved on it. It should be related to the Cao Gang, and he can fight Brother Mu for three rounds. His martial arts skills are not bad, and he must have dealings with many people in the world."
Mu Zhiyuan felt that Shu Xi's analysis was reasonable: "I also found the jade pendant. Ah Shu, don't go to Kaitang Town in the near future, just stay at Liuxiang Snacks."
Then, Mu Zhiyuan asked Lou Lan'er to go to the fruit cake shop in Kaitang County to help, and secretly investigate the details of the Lin brothers and sisters.
He went north alone and investigated the relationship between the Caobang and the Lin family along the canal.
Judging from the overbearing behavior of the Lin brothers and sisters, Shui Xi had a vague feeling that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended.
Xiao Qing came to the inner room and reminded Mao Xi: "The shopkeeper is looking for a customer. She is Miss Zhou from Kaitang County."
Miss Zhou is here! It was just the right time to ask her about the Lin brothers and sisters.
Mao Xi invited Miss Zhou into the house.
"How is Miss Zhou's health these days?" Ma Xi saw that Miss Zhou's health seemed to have recovered and her face was much rosier than before, so she asked Xiao Qing to get some fruits, "Xiao Qing, bring some rose snow fungus and water chestnut cake. "
"Thanks to you for sending me back to the medical bureau in time that day, I'm fine now. Shopkeeper Shu Xi, I'm here today to ask if you are interested in buying the fruit cake shop I opened next to the east stage. Go? How about I give you 10% of the price and gold?"
Miss Zhou's fruit cake shop was originally designed to compete with her own shop and compete for business. Now that her husband-in-law has passed away, Miss Zhou has no intention of continuing to open it by herself.
Mao Xi was secretly happy that the transfer fee given by Miss Zhou was lower than the market price, but she still had to be polite: "Miss Zhou, you and Mr. Sun opened this shop together during your lifetime. Are you really willing to give up the business?"
Miss Zhou thought of Mr. Sun, and her eyes became red again: "That shop is owned by Mr. Sun. We originally planned to start a small business, but now that the others are gone, I will think of him every time I see the shop, and I have no intention of doing so." Take care of it, the business of the shop is not good right now, why don’t shopkeeper Shu Xi take over it and make it a branch shop.”
