This ti, Si Nini was really provoked. She imdiately put down her noodle bowl, grabbed the bench she was sitting on, and charged at the young man.
As she hit him, she continued to curse. Finally, the young man beca a complete ss and could only temporarily retreat.
But Si Nini had learned her lesson and left after finishing her noodles. When the young man tried to chase after her, the noodle stall owner stopped him and said Si Nini asked him to pay the bill.
By this point, everyone present understood that Si Nini had intentionally set him up, knowing he hadn’t left!
The people inside were either annoyed or amused. Xiao Linzi shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, if she thinks I’m monitoring her, then let her. I just hope she doesn’t get into trouble."
At this mont, San Zi was also genuinely furious and cursed: "This ungrateful thing, Boss sent soone to protect her, and she doesn’t appreciate it. Instead, she defas people. Who has nothing better to do than to neglect their own duties to monitor her? Truly ungrateful!"
After this incident, even San Zi was thoroughly disappointed with Si Nini and no longer advised Xiao Linzi to think of other ways to protect her.
Xiao Linzi waved his hand and said to the young man who was beaten: "You endured a beating for no reason and even paid for her noodles. It’s tough for you. Go to the accounts room and collect two taels of silver, also change into clean clothes."
Hearing Xiao Linzi offer two taels of silver made him both excited and happy. Yet, thinking about how he had lost track of the person, he felt guilty and was hesitant to collect the silver.
Finally, it was San Zi who persuaded him to take the silver.
Once everything was settled, Xiao Linzi let everyone go to the backyard to rest.
Thus, having settled these children from the tofu workshop, a weight was lifted from Xiao Linzi’s heart. He turned to look at the bag of shredded embroidery and shook his head with amusent and helplessness.
However, despite the humor, Xiao Linzi realized a problem: if Qiaoqiao’s behavior was improper, and if Lin Yuan couldn’t correct her, she should be expelled like Si Nini or sent back to Zhuma Town!
Besides this, matters that he had never paid attention to before beca more important to him.
In the past, he was just an unpopular Concubine’s Son of the Chen family, even though Chen Haigang arranged for him to do so things, Jiang’s suppression ant that the manor’s servant girls dared not show off in front of him, and outside won, aware of their status, wouldn’t associate with a rchant’s Concubine’s Son.
But now things were different. There was no Jiang’s suppression above him and no Concubine’s Son’s status constraints below him. Those restless won were bound to have ulterior motives.
Xiao Linzi narrowed his eyes, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, a cold smile curling at his lips.
It seed his temper was too good, actually letting those people think they had an opportunity to offer themselves!
Hmph, what a dream!
After settling the people in the mansion, Xiao Linzi temporarily handed over the mansion’s affairs to San Zi. He himself took two young servants to handle so matters outside.
That night, Xiao Linzi returned very late. Even though he was extrely tired, the light in his room remained on all night.
Early the next morning, San Zi was sent to the Lin Mansion to deliver sothing.
It was nothing else but that bag of embroidery that Shi Liu had sent before.
But this ti, the embroidery was no longer damaged and had been nded overnight by soone.
Xiao Linzi, having grown up in the Chen family of Jiangnan, knew so simple nding techniques even as a man. Plus, with his clever mind, he successfully repaired those torn embroideries overnight.
Seeing these embroideries, Lin Wei was both moved and delighted, and let go of much of her previous animosity regarding Qiaoqiao. The rift between them was completely resolved.
However, although this matter was settled, everyone felt that Xiao Linzi seed like a changed person. His words beca sharper, and he spoke more sternly with everyone.
Especially the won, who were increasingly afraid to talk to Xiao Linzi alone, even feeling chills just by glancing at him.
San Yaer and Yao Ya privately discussed how a cold person like Boss could have Qiaoqiao running towards him to offer herself, calling her truly foolish!
Of course, these were matters for later.
After the tenth day, the shops in the Capital City gradually reopened for business. By the fifteenth day, almost every shop in the Capital City had resud operations, presenting a lively and bustling scene in the capital.
