Seeing the strange gazes of the surrounding people, his face darkened. He then picked out a small apprentice who was accompanying a guest and asked him what had happened.
The apprentice was in the vicinity a moment ago, and he had seen the entire scene clearly. Seeing that Qiu Lingpi's complexion wasn't good, he immediately asked about it and told him everything.
He looked at his wife in disbelief, thinking back to the time when she had lost her gold bracelet, his heart was already formed. However, he was truly unwilling to believe that his normally virtuous and gentle wife would actually do such a thing.
"Head …"
Noticing Shi Mu's unfriendly expression, Jin Xiangyu opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, he had doted on this woman for so many years, so he could not bear to punish her. He had no choice but to send someone to help her into the house, and then he turned around to apologize to the rest of the guests.
In the evening, he did not return to his room to sleep. Instead, he went to the apprentice's room to make up for the night.
Golden Fragrance originally wanted to say a few good words and act coquettishly in the evening, but she didn't expect that after waiting for an entire night, she still hadn't seen anyone.
She suddenly felt flustered. Sitting on the bed alone, she hadn't slept the entire night. Her entire body had become much more haggard.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Song Xiangsi was brought home by Meng Lianxuan. Despite suffering greatly from this grievance, she forced herself to pull herself together and prepared some food for her siblings. She silently returned to her room by herself, not letting them see anything.
Today, Meng Huaxuan was especially silent. He cleaned up the table and washed the dishes without her help. After finishing, he looked at the closed door of Song Xiangsi's room and hesitated for a moment before going up and knocking on the door.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Song Xiangsi was sitting on her bed in a daze when she heard someone knocking on her door. Following that, Meng Ling Xuan's hesitant voice rang out, "Can I come in?"
She nodded subconsciously, thinking that the other person might not be able to see it, so she answered.
Meng Ling Xuan pushed open the door and walked in. He saw her sitting on the bed with no expression on her face. However, he didn't see any tear stains. It was obvious that she wasn't crying.
He secretly heaved a sigh of relief and walked forward. He rubbed Song Xiangsi's head, "What happened?"
Song Xiangsi shook her head, still in low spirits.
Meng Ling Xuan frowned, and his voice also became cold. "If you're still angry, then I'll go to the county and catch those two and beat them up!"
Saying that, he let out a cold snort, "Let them see clearly, not everyone can afford to offend my boss. She is such a beautiful girl, how can she earn money so easily? Let's see if he can take it! "
The more Meng Liangxuan spoke, the angrier he became. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go find someone to fight, but he was quickly pulled back by Song Xiangsi, "What are you doing?"
Song Xiangsi blinked and looked at him in confusion.
Meng Fangxuan took a deep breath to suppress his anger, but he still couldn't help but snort, "Of course it's to beat up those two scumbags and vent your anger on them, boss."
When it was just the two of them, Meng Liangxuan rarely called her 'boss' so seriously. When Song Xiangsi saw how angry he was, she actually felt that he was rather silly and adorable. She could not help but burst out laughing.
"Who said I was upset about them?"
Meng Huaxuan was stunned. His mind still couldn't keep up with her rhythm. He scratched his head and asked her doubtfully, "Then what are you doing?"
After saying that, he curled his lips and returned to his usual arrogant and spoiled appearance. "The moment I came back, I shut myself in the room and even scared me."
Song Xiangsi smiled. "But I didn't say it was because of that. Although I felt aggrieved saying that I met with such a thing, it also made me understand that instead of toiling away at other people's work, I still have to suffer. I might as well do it myself."
"Come out and do it alone?" Meng Fanxuan was stunned. Song Xiangsi had truly confused this time. He had no idea what was going on in that girl's head.
"Hmm, it means opening your own furniture shop!" Song Xiangsi nodded and looked at him seriously, "If that's the case, apart from the capital and the money to hire the workers, all of that money will be ours. I've been working in the house for the past few days, and I can see the pattern behind it.
With that, she smiled confidently, raised her head, and said with a face full of pride: "Besides, I want technology, brains, and a lot of reliable marketing techniques. Why would I need to go to his shop?"
When Meng Ling Xuan thought about it, he suddenly felt that what she had said made sense. Although it sounded a little unbelievable for a teenage girl to say that she wanted to open her own furniture shop, he felt that it was indeed possible for Song Xiangsi to say it out loud.
He thought that as long as this girl was happy, he could satisfy her no matter what. Moreover, he did not want Song Xiangsi to return to his house to work, especially since he wanted to stay far away from Qiu Lingzhi.
He thought for a moment and then said, "I still have some spare money. I will set up a stall in town in two days and continue to play chess. I believe that I will be able to gather enough money to open a shop for you soon."
Originally, he had thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort in talking. After all, in this ancient era where etiquette was strict, most females lived in the inner court. She was just a little girl and asked him to open a shop.
He didn't expect her to agree so readily, and even said that he would help her amass some capital.
Song Xiangsi's heart was slightly moved. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
She pursed her lips and raised her head to look at him, her eyes black and bright, as beautiful as the stars in the sky. "You're really willing to pay me to open a shop?"
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Aren't you afraid that I will be hot-blooded and cause you to lose everything because of the poor management of the store?"
He raised his hand and pinched her small, sparkling nose, his voice low and hoarse, magnetic and enchanting. "It's fine, just go ahead and do it, even if it's a loss, I'll still be the one to do it. At worst, I'll just go out and arrange some chess games, accompany others and play a few more Go games, and then the money will come."
Song Xiangsi was amused by him. Her eyebrows curved as she giggled, "The money you're talking about is like a gale blowing. You can have it as long as you wave your hand."
