    Chapter Table of Contents How should you thank me?

    It was noon when Su Tao woke up again, feeling an indescribable soreness all over her body. She was obviously awake, but she didn’t really want to move.

    Liu’er opened the door and came in, “Miss, wake up and do you want to eat something?”

    “Yeah.” Su Tao felt a little hungry. She looked at the quilt and saw that the bruises on her body had been treated with medicine. No wonder the legs were a little cold, so they didn’t hurt so much.

    “Where’s Shining?”

    After the two got engaged, Su Tao stopped calling his uncle in front of others.

    While preparing toiletries for her, Liu Er said, “Several shopkeepers have sent people here. Mr. Su didn’t want anyone to disturb you, so he went by himself. Everyone is still in the front hall now.”

    Su Tao changed her clothes and felt that she was no longer so weak, so she put on her gauze hat and went to the front hall.

    She has never shown her true identity before, and most of the capital city knows that Miss Su’s disappearance, but these shopkeepers cannot be 100% sure that she is Miss Su’s, so they are still sending people as usual.

    “The small ones are from the glazed gouache store. When we launched the new products in February, some customers complained about allergies. They come to the store every day and the new products can no longer be sold.”

    “Mr. Su, the younger one is from Qianyu Pavilion. Thanks to the young master, many young gentlemen came to ask if they had the same style of heating bag as the young master this morning. Just because this hot bag was specially made for the young master at that time, shopkeeper Ma came to ask if it could be sold. Again.”The Qiantao series has already gained a reputation. Recently, more and more noble ladies are coming to inquire. If we continue to stop producing, we may offend those distinguished customers. A few days ago, two noble ladies were arguing over a piece of clothing and almost destroyed the store.”

    “The smaller one is Juliang Store. In February, a lot of grain was robbed by bandits on the road. There is not enough grain in the store. Do you want to increase the price? The court also ordered to donate grain to the victims outside the city. This time, we should hand over the full amount, or spend some money to buy some.”

    In the flower hall, several stewards reported the matter one after another. There were many and complicated things. Su Shining did not know the real situation on many matters, which made him hesitate for a long time and still find it difficult to make a conclusion.

    He thought that Tao’er was the little girl in the study who had trouble with simple arithmetic, but he didn’t expect that she could solve so many problems so quickly.

    “We can’t deal with it. The court has been strictly investigating the disaster bank corruption case before, so we can’t commit crimes at the cusp of the storm. Don’t donate food for now. It’s okay to give out porridge outside the city gate instead.”

    Su Tao walked in unhurriedly, sat down next to Su Shining, and then said, “Your grain store will go to Qianyu Pavilion to order some banners and hang the names of Su Mansion and Juliang Store. Since you want to do something good, you have to let everyone know about it.”

    “The Qiantao series is still not mass-produced, and the price has increased. But I have recently thought about a new series that can be mass-produced.”

    It probably took Su Tao more than an hour to handle the matter. After everyone left, the flower hall suddenly became quiet.

    “I’ll go to the store tomorrow and I’ll probably come back later.”

    Su Shining didn’t look at her, “Why are you still going out if everything is not settled?”

    “The specific implementation still needs to be discussed in the store.”

    “Then let them come to the house.”

    After saying that, Su Shining stood up and left.

    “uncle”

    Su Tao felt a little aggrieved, “Are you going to put me under house arrest?”

    Su Shining paused for a while and turned to look at her, feeling helpless, “I’m afraid you’re not feeling well.”

    “I’m getting better after taking the medicine. I have no problem.”

    Su Shining was silent and finally said, “Okay, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

    “But don’t you need to prepare for the imperial examination?”

    “There are still a few days left.”

    Su Tao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Su Shining gently took her hand.

    “You came here in a hurry, you can eat now”

    “Not yet.”

    “I just wanted to praise you for your progress, but you are still a carefree person. These things are more important than your eating.”

    Su Tao had no choice but to swallow back what she originally wanted to say.

    A few days later, Su Shining went to take the imperial examination, and Su Tao also took the opportunity to come out.

    Previously, she was afraid of affecting Shining’s preparation for the imperial examination, so she tried her best not to go out.

    Today she plans to go to the soup kitchen shack outside the city gate to take a look, because donating food requires donating good rice, but old rice can also be used to build the porridge shack.The only bad thing is that the order is a bit chaotic, and there are often refugees trying to swarm over and grab food.

    Su Tao came here this time to discuss with the city gate guards whether they could send troops to maintain order.

    People have been sent to look for it before, but to no avail.

    Su Tao couldn’t figure out why it was useless to spend money to prepare food. The porridge shack was obviously not far away, and almost every time the shack was opened, refugees flocked over. It should be reasonable for the soldiers to take the initiative to maintain order.Now it is impossible to hire these soldiers even with money.

    Unexpectedly, the scene was even more chaotic than Su Tao imagined, so she just came out of the city gate. Before she could reach the camp, a group of hooligans surrounded her carriage.

    Several servants of the Su Mansion surrounded the carriage and faced each other with knives and sticks. “What are you doing? The city gate soldiers will be here soon. Aren’t you afraid of being arrested?”

    The gangster burst into laughter, “I would rather be arrested and have food, drink and shelter than sleeping in the suburbs.”

    “Just hand over all the money and food, and we will let you go.”

    Su Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they only wanted money and food. He untied the money bag and was about to hand it out when another familiar voice came from outside.

    “You ungrateful people, didn’t you see that it was Su Mansion’s carriage? In the past few days, Su Mansion was giving out porridge and relief outside the city gate. Why don’t you get out of here if you want to snatch Su Mansion’s carriage?”

    There was a noise, and the gangsters seemed to be driven away.

    The servants of the Su Mansion quickly stepped forward to thank them, but the carriage remained silent from beginning to end.

    Yan Shu smiled, dismounted, got on the carriage before anyone could react, and suddenly opened the curtain.

    “I guess you’re in there.”

    Su Tao took Mi Li away calmly.

    “What do you want from me?”

    Yan Shu ignored the obstruction and went straight into the carriage.

    “It’s okay.” Su Tao reassured the servants of the Su Mansion and allowed Yan Shu to look at them.

    “Tsk, tsk, I really didn’t expect that so many men would fall under your pomegranate skirt.”

    Su Tao listened quietly.

    “Fan Mo, Su Shining, Qing Zhu, His Highness the Third Highness, oh, shouldn’t there be another Mu Yu?”

    Su Tao was startled and lifted the gauze curtain, “You”

    Yan Shu smiled maliciously, “How do I know this? You don’t have to worry about it. What I’m curious about is what your nominal fiancé Su Shining thinks. He must feel uncomfortable having so many men for his wife.”

    No wonder

    Su Tao was a little sad and angry, “If that’s what you want to say, you can leave.”

    “Hey, what’s the rush?”

    Not only did Yan Shu not go down, but he got closer to Su Tao.

    “Didn’t I say that I would help you get revenge on Fan Mo some time ago? I have almost made arrangements. When the time comes, I will ask him to repay you ten times and a hundred times. How should you thank me?”
