Chapter 20 Making trouble

It was getting dark outside. Qi Sui held a lantern to light the way and escorted Shen Yu back to the manor. On the way, she asked, "Why isn't Ruo Wei with you?"

"Because my brother is here too, Ruo Wei is familiar with the manor, so I asked her to stay and arrange the guest rooms and help my brother with things." Shen Yu walked very slowly, but the road under her feet wasn't as smooth as during the day, and her figure was a little Unstable. Qi Sui noticed that her steps were unsteady, so she held her hand and said, "I'll hold your hand."

Shen Yu replied softly, "Okay." She glanced at Qi Sui secretly, and the light from the lantern slightly illuminated her side profile, she could see that she had a smile on her lips, and even her brows had a hint of tenderness. When they walked not far from the manor, Qi Sui saw a man at the door who looked somewhat similar to Shen Yu.

Shen Shu was still looking out, and said anxiously: "Third sister has always been self-disciplined and polite. Now it's dark, why hasn't she come back yet?"

At this time, a little light appeared in the darkness, and then Qi Sui and Shen Yu appeared, Shen Shu immediately felt relieved and ordered the servant beside him: "Go and ask the kitchen to heat up the dishes." Then he walked over and said in front of Shen Yu: "You are finally back. If Ruo Wei hadn't said that you know your limits, I would ask the servants in the village to look for you."

Shen Yu lowered her eyes and said, "I will tell my brother next time I go out." Then she looked at Qi Sui. Shen Shu noticed her only then. He had heard Shen Yu talk about her before coming. He bowed and said, "I think this must be Madam Qi. Thank you for sending my little sister off. I have asked someone to prepare food. Please stay for dinner."

Qi Sui reached out and helped him up: "I have known Madam Shen for a long time, and it's my duty to send her back."

Shen Shu stood up straight, hearing the intimacy in the words, and when he was feeling confused, Shen Yu said: "Brother It's cold outside, let's go in first."

Qi Sui was about to leave, but Shen Shu stopped her, "Madam Qi, come with us."

She waved her hand: "No, I have something important to do at home, I will come again tomorrow."

Shen Yu Looking at her, he said, "It's too dark at night, be careful on the road."

Shen Shu didn't say much, and watched Qi Sui leave with her.

The next day, Qi Sui took Changsheng to her own field, harvested a batch of spinach and potatoes, and picked several cantaloupe from the orchard, and brought them to the farm together. In the yard, Shen Shu looked at the vegetables and fruits on the ground and said, "These are popular in restaurants nowadays. You need several taels of silver to eat them."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "These are all made by Madam Qi. Brother, Can you trust me?"

Qi Sui picked up the cantaloupe, cut it into small pieces, and gave it to Shen Yu first: "You like sweet food, try it." Then she gave it to Shen Shu and said: "Brother Shen, please."

Shen Shu felt that the atmosphere wasn't right at the moment, but he didn't dare to think too much about it. He took it politely and said, "It's really sweet." Then he drank a sip of hot tea to relieve the greasiness.

Shen Yu thought it was good, and Qi Sui said, "As long as it suits your taste."

Shen Shu secretly looked at the two of them while drinking tea. They always smiled at each other, so he guessed that they had a close relationship.

"This time I came to Yunyan Village to ask Madam Qi for help." He put down the teacup.

Qi Sui nodded, "Shen Yu told me yesterday that the weather is getting colder and winter is coming, so we have to wait until next spring to plant crops."

Shen Shu said, "If we have to wait until spring plowing, how long will it take for Madam Qi to harvest the crops?

"One month." She added, "We can plant some fashionable vegetables recently."

Shen Shu agreed, and then sent someone to invite the head of the village to discuss the future development of Yunyan Village.

The village head knew that Shen Shu was the son of the county magistrate, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it and said, "Okay, I will gather everyone in the afternoon to inform them of this matter."

System: "Congratulations to the host! Unlock the task of helping villagers get rid of poverty and become rich, and score 5,000 points." Qi Sui raised her eyebrows, walked to Shen Yu's side, and quietly hooked her finger.

Two days later, Qi Sui came to Yanchunlou again at the agreed time. This time, she not only brought fruits but also newly grown vegetables.

The madam smiled from ear to ear and said, "Mrs. Qi is such a wonderful person. She can bring so many good things."

"Since the madam is willing to do business with me, I must show my sincerity." Qi Sui said, and then looked at the second floor, "I just wonder how Miss Yun is doing these days?"

The madam sighed and said, "She accidentally caught a cold two days ago and her voice is hoarse. She can't see guests for now." Her eyes were full of apology. She said to Qi Sui: "Young lady, please wait for a few days. She will come to accompany you when she is better."

Qi Sui realized that the madam had misunderstood her and quickly explained: "Madam, I didn't mean that."

The madam smiled, as if she had guessed her mistake. What she was thinking, she called Ying'er and said, "Let her accompany the young lady." Then she went to greet other guests.

Ying'er first called out in a delicate voice, "Young lady." Then she looked behind her, and seeing that Cheng An wasn't there, she lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Qi Sui understood immediately and said, "Cheng An is waiting for me outside. If you want to see him, I'll let him in."

Ying'er raised her eyes with hope in her eyes, but lowered them again and shook her head, "No, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction."

Qi Sui probed: "Miss Ying'er, excuse me, how are you and Cheng An..."

At this time, a rough male voice came from the building, extremely angry: "Where is Yunchan! How can you not let me see you after spending so much money?"

Everyone looked over, and the madam noticed it, and came over with a smile to comfort him: "Don't get yourself hurt, sir. Yun Chan was really upset and cried because I couldn't see you."

"It's him again." Ying'er said angrily.

Qi Sui asked in a low voice: "Who is that man?"

"The head of Wanbao Pavilion, Xu Kun. His wife has a bad temper and has always come here to make things difficult for Sister Yun, but this guy just watched and did nothing. Now while the wife is not at home, he's clamoring to see Sister Yun."

Xu Kun's face turned red, as if he was drunk. He snorted, not happy with the madam's words, "why is she feeling uncomfortable when i come here? i don't think the top firls in other brothels have this kinds of airs."

The madam thought that this person would not listen to her advice, and continued: "Sir, you are wrongly accusing Yunchan and me. You are a frequent visitor to our Yanchunlou. Has Yunchan ever neglected you?"

"This... That's true." Xu Kun couldn't deny it, "But I only met her once, and i am making things difficult for her again?"

The madam hurriedly said, "It's because Yunchan didn't treat you well, otherwise she wouldn't have let you worry like this."

Xu Kun was drunk and wouldn't listen. He kept making a fuss and went upstairs. The madam couldn't stop him. Yunchan drank the medicine before lying down. In a daze, she heard a noise outside the door.

"Master, Miss Yun is not accepting guests today. Please go back first."

"Who do you think you are? Get out of here!" Xu Kun slapped the man guarding the door and shove the madam away with him. "If you try to stop me again, I will beat you too."

The madam did not dare to act recklessly, but just begged: "Sir, Yunchan is indeed not feeling well today, I hope you can understand."

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open and then closed heavily.
