Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Li Chang Visits (2)_1 Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Li Chang Visits (2)_1 Li Chang had also inquired about the situation in the shop and repeated word for word the praises he had heard from the governnt officials about Rice Flower Fragrance, as though he himself had tasted her pastries.
Lin Yuan knew these flattering words were ant for Xia Zheng to hear, so she just pulled at the corner of her lips, quietly listening, and occasionally nodding her head to show face.
It wasn’t until Xia Zheng, sitting aside, yawned impatiently that Li Chang coughed awkwardly with an unfinished sentence and hastily took his leave.
Watching Li Chang’s fleeing figure, Lin Yuan couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.
Xia Zheng truly was the feared Little Tyrant, even Master Magistrate acted like a mouse who had seen a cat in his presence.
In the main hall, Fifth Sister Bai and the others looked at each other with puzzled faces, their eyes wide, so still not reacting to what had just happened.
Was that person who had co to offer gifts really Master Magistrate?
The sa who did nothing but collect gifts and hang out in brothels?
Not just them, even the bosses from the neighboring shops had gathered in groups to discuss, casting unusual glances at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan never cared about the gazes of others and didn’t let it bother her.
However, she did have to ask Xia Zheng about it.
She lifted her foot and kicked his long legs that were stretched out far: “Did you send Lin Yi to find him?”
Xia Zheng raised an eyebrow and smiled as if seeking credit, “How about that, isn’t it quite impressive?”
Lin Yuan pursed her lips.
“Haha, I knew you would never care for such a person!
Don’t worry, I just asked Lin Yi to remind him that it was ti to deal with the small and big thieves in town.”
So that was the issue.
Lin Yuan nodded her head and said nothing more.
It had to be said, there truly were too many thieves in Zhuma Town.
She had always been keenly aware and very cautious when out and about, so she had never been followed by a thief.
But having attracted their attention was indeed sothing she had experienced.
Moreover, this ti’s matter had really upset her; stealing was one thing, but why hurt soone in the process?
Inflicting injury was sothing she absolutely could not accept.
As she pondered, suddenly an anxious voice ca from the doorway.
Lin Yuan looked to see that it was Mo Sanniang.
With a worried expression, she entered the door and started examining her all over as if afraid Lin Yuan might have lost sothing.
Lin Yuan was puzzled, “What’s wrong, Sister Mo?”
Mo Sanniang, seeing that she was fine and noticing there were still quite a few people in the main hall, finally breathed a sigh of relief but still cautioned her carefully, “What else could it be?
Of course, it’s Li Chang!
I intended to warn you yesterday when you opened, but I forgot with today’s incident.”
“What is it?” Seeing Mo Sanniang racing over in such a panic, Lin Yuan knew it had to be sothing vitally important, and it was related to Li Chang.
Indeed, Mo Sanniang glanced outside and spoke to Lin Yuan in a lowered voice, “He is the Young Master of Fuman Building and naturally doesn’t need to, but people like us, who have no background or connections, naturally think about currying favor with Master Magistrate.
Not just you and , but all the shops on West Street that want to do business all send gifts to the magistrate beforehand.”
But she hadn’t sent any gifts, which is why Mo Sanniang was so worried when she saw Li Chang arriving to ask if there was any problem.
No wonder the bosses at the door were looking at her with a strange gaze.
Others sent gifts to Li Chang proactively upon opening their businesses; today, however, Li Chang had reversed roles and brought her gifts.
Such a matter was indeed worth exploring.
“Sister,” Mo Sanniang glanced at the people nearby and drew Lin Yuan aside to instruct her with concern, “That Master Magistrate is nothing but a pervert.
Don’t be fooled by his decent appearance; he’s very sleazy on the inside.
From now on, keep your distance from him and don’t interact with him too much.
Especially, especially when you’re alone, never be alone with him.
Did you hear ?”
