Chapter 190
190 Little Ah Yu Saved A Merchant
The maidservant replied, “Second Miss, before you went to bed, Miss Linglong had already arrived at the residence.”
Xie Changting sat up from the bed. “What?! Xu Linglong is here?! Why didn’t you tell me!”
Xu Linglong was the female lead’s name.
The maidservant looked aggrieved. “I reported it to Miss at that time, but Miss said that you wanted to rest, so I-”
That should be when Xie Changting was very sleepy, because every time she reached that stage, she would not want to do anything but sleep.
But would Xie Changting admit that it was her fault?
Xie Changting kicked the servant girl. Looking at the servant girl on the ground, Xie Changting felt a sense of joy.
After the servant girl was kicked down, she hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of Xie Changting. “It’s all my fault! Please don’t be angry, Miss!”
“You can’t even do such a simple thing well. Get lost. I don’t need you to serve me in the future!”
The servant girl’s face turned pale.
With the master saying this, this servant girl’s future would come to an end.
If the butler found out, what awaited her would not be a good fate.
The servant girl kowtowed to Xie Changting a few times, begging her to retract her order. However, Xie Changting left directly, not caring about the servant girl’s life.
Xie Changting was still thinking about the female lead’s matters.
The female lead actually came to the residence. Was she going to denounce her?
That shouldn’t be the case. At that time, they had encountered bandits. Xie Changting did not abandon the female lead directly. Instead, she pretended to lure the bandits away and pretended to be righteous when the female lead faced more bandits.
The female lead was just an ignorant farm girl. She was only 10 years old now, and her business had yet to start. She should not be able to see through her intentions.
That idiot was only a country bumpkin. How could she be her match?
Their Xie Manor was nothing in the Great Chang Nation, but it was one of the strongest family in Dongling County.
In addition, she had already won her father’s favor so it’d be easy to control a farm girl.
Thinking of this, a confident smile appeared on Xie Changting’s face.
“Female lead, you’d better be my tool obediently. Don’t make me angry.”
Otherwise, I won’t let you meet the male lead.
If you make me unhappy, I’ll let you be the male lead’s lowly concubine. It’d still be counted as falling in love anyway.
But the title of a lowly concubine would not be removed.
Xie Changting thought maliciously as she walked briskly towards the side hall.
However, she did not know that the female lead, Xu Linglong, had already finished chatting with the Old Master and Madam of the Xie Family.
Xu Linglong was very good at using her identity as an ignorant farm girl to vaguely tell them that Xie Changting had already been raped.
She even offered a hundred-year-old lingzhi and said considerately, “Sister Changting’s body is weak. Take this lingzhi as a nourishment for her body.”
Xu Linglong pretended not to see the greed in the eyes of the Old Master and Madam of the Xie Family. She also vaguely mentioned that her family had actually saved a high-ranking official before. This was a gift from that high-ranking official.
She even mentioned the incident related to the high-ranking official.
Then, she reminded the Old Master and Madam not to mention that matter in front of Xie Changting or punish her.
Because she would treat Xie Changting as a sister forever and use all means to protect her.
Old Master Xie, who originally wanted to silence her to save their family’s face, immediately broke out in cold sweat.
Could the high-ranking official this farm girl was talking about be-
Before Old Master Xie could question further, Xie Changting arrived.
The warmth in Old Master Xie’s eyes turned cold, but he still pretended to dote on her.
There was no need to let this b*tch know. Let’s see how she behaves!
Xu Linglong lowered her head and took a sip of tea, hiding the sneer in her eyes.
The little girl wanted to fight with me? You’re still very inexperienced.
Since you want to use me, I’ll teach you what it means to be used to death.
Unlike the environment in Dongling County, Old man Wang’s family in Nanhe Town had recently encountered a huge matter.
A merchant had no choice but to temporarily stop by Nanhe Town because of a strong wind. Then, he discovered the meat dumplings of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop.
The merchant discovered a business opportunity from this, so he offered to buy the secret recipe from them.
The method to make the meat dumplings was originally created by Wang Chuanyuan and his wife. Later on, they shared this method with Cai Niu and they studied it together.
It made the meat dumplings look beautiful, simple, and delicious.
When the merchant wanted to buy the recipe, Wang Chuanyuan and his wife even asked Cai Niu for his opinion.
Cai Niu was a little hesitant. Actually, he also felt that this cooking technique was very useful. He even thought that when he went out to open his own bun shop in the future, he could find a disciple to pass the technique down.
The merchant saw through his intentions and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, although I bought your recipe, I won’t stop you from continuing to sell the buns. It’s even possible for your family to pass it down to your disciples. My only request is that you can’t sell the recipe to others.”
“To be honest, my business is not only with the Great Chang Nation. I’ll also sell this meat dumplings to the Southern Kingdom and other places. I’ll leave the land in the north to you to develop. How about that?”
It was also because they were lucky. This businessman originally had the personality of a shrewd businessman. Usually, when he discussed business with others, he would definitely not be upfront.
However, before the merchant came here, he met Little Ah Yu.
At that time, the merchant had suffered an asthma attack. A little girl suddenly ran over and gave him sweet water to drink.
...
The merchant felt his chest relax a lot. The feeling that he could die at any moment disappeared, and he felt much better.
The merchant only thought that the asthma attack had subsided because he had drank water and felt calmer, which was why he stopped hyperventilating.
He still did not know that he had drunk the Myriad Spirit Water which had repaired his vitality.
Even so, the merchant was very grateful for Little Ah Yu’s timely delivery of water.
He also learned from the surrounding people that she was a child of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop.
Naturally, the merchant came to visit the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop and discovered the meat soup dumplings.
Hence, there was this transaction negotiation.
The merchant came to discuss business with the goal of repaying kindness, so he naturally hoped for the best outcome.
The merchant was especially far-sighted. There was no business that he could not do.
He could even predict that if this meat soup dumpling was marketed well and assuming that he could seize the market opportunity in advance, he would definitely be able to earn a lot in the future.
Now, he did not mind spending a little more money to buy the recipe.
...
At this moment, Little Ah Yu was sitting on the swing and chatting with Meatball.
“Elf, why didn’t you give me a lucky draw when I saved that uncle?”
Yes, the reason Little Ah Yu went to save the merchant was because Meatball reminded her that there was a temporary rescue mission.
Little Ah Yu was already familiar with the mission of saving people and quickly completed it. However, there was no lucky draw segment after completion.
This made Ah Yu feel a little disappointed.
How could she not be disappointed that there was nothing this time?
[Because there’s a better reward than the lucky draw!]
Meatball’s voice was trembling. It originally thought that the reward for this temporary rescue mission was a lucky draw. It did not expect it to be even better.
This was equivalent to sending over a pillow when one was sleepy.
