General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

Ah Zhong was wiping the carriage in the backyard. When he saw her, he hurriedly asked, “Boss, when I went to look for you after bringing the patient’s family to get the medicine yesterday, the restaurant was already closed. Did you walk back yourself?”

“Ah, yes,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Ah Zhong continued, “If this happens again in the future, wait for me at the door. I’ll be quick.”

“Oh, okay,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

Ah Zhong muttered, “Boss is acting strange today.”

“Boss! You’re so early today!” Yinger walked out with a bowl of noodles. “Do you want noodles?”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her stomach. She had come out in a hurry and forgot to eat breakfast.

“Send a bowl to my room,” she said.

Ying’er smiled and said, “Alright! This bowl is Sister Yun Xiu’s. She doesn’t eat spicy food. Boss eats spicy food!”

“What’s wrong with Yun Xiu?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Although Ying’er was the youngest, Yun Xiu usually did not order Ying’er to do things for her.

Ying’er whispered, “She is having her period. Her abdomen hurt all night.”

“I’ll go take a look.”

Su Xiaoxiao followed Ying’er to their room.

Yun Xiu sat at the head of the bed with a pale face. When she saw Su Xiaoxiao enter the room, she was shocked. “Boss?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her pale face. “Does it hurt a lot?”

Yun Xiu nodded in pain.

Su Xiaoxiao took her pulse. Her body was fine, and her blood circulation was not smooth.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered the ointment she made the last time and handed it to her. “Three times a day, one spoonful at a time.”

Yun Xiu looked at the medicine jar that Su Xiaoxiao took out of the small medicine box and asked, “Boss, this is…

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, “The ointment to regulate insufficient qi and blood during the menstrual period. It tastes very good. I’ve already found someone to try it!”

“Little Su! Little Su, are you here?”

Manager Sun’s happy voice came from the courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao put down the ointment and walked out.

Coincidentally, Ying’er came over with a bowl of spicy soup noodles. “Aiya, Manager Sun, be careful! It’s very hot!”

Manager Sun waved his fan and successfully dodged the spicy soup noodles.

Ying’er was surprised. “Wow!”

Manager Sun waved his fan proudly. Look at him, he was getting younger.

Therefore, people had to be happy every day. The saying that smiling can take ten years from one’s age was really not an exaggeration.

“Manager Sun,” Su Xiaoxiao greeted. “Have you had breakfast?”

“I’ve eaten,” Manager Sun said.

The two of them went to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and slurped her noodles.

Chef Cao’s culinary skills were not bad. The noodles were very strong, the soup was spicy, and Chef Cao even thoughtfully filtered the oil.

Manager Sun asked, “You don’t have to go to the palace today?”

“I’ll go later. I have something to do.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at his new fan. “It’s the seventh one this month, right?”

“Ahem.” Manager Sun cleared his throat. “I have to showcase my identity!”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “With a fan?”

In her impression, Shen Chuan loved to fan himself the most.

From the first time she saw him until they parted in the prefecture city, she had never seen him missing a fan.

However, Shen Chuan was very loyal and only used one.

Speaking of Shen Chuan, she wondered how he had been recently. The last time she replied to Su Yuniang and the others, she had also written one to Shen Chuan. She wondered if he had received it.

Manager Sun laid out his cards. “Alright, I admit that I’ve bought too many fans recently. Didn’t I just take a fan? Is it fresh?”

Su Xiaoxiao thought of the gambler she had met last night and suddenly felt that collecting fans was a good hobby.

Manager Sun asked, “By the way, why did you come over so early in the morning?”

Su Xiaoxiao slurped a mouthful of noodles. “Buying a shop.”

After the Hu family’s incident, the Benevolence Hall was sealed and could not be opened anymore. It was better to take over the Benevolence Hall now.

Manager Sun nodded. “That’s right. Take his life while he’s down!”

Uh… that didn’t seem the right way to put it. Wasn’t it striking the iron while it was hot?

“Speaking of which, the speed at which Benevolence Hall closed down is faster than I imagined. Thinking back to when we were in town, it took a lot of effort to fight a small Jin Ji. This Benevolence Hall… collapsed just like that… I still haven’t realized it…”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “You said it was town.”

There were not many nobles in town, and both sides had limited connections. Jin Ji could only trip them up.

This time was different. The Hu family had committed suicide and reached out to the Empress Dowager of the country.

That was the royal family.

Moreover… it was not considered fast.

Hu Jiusheng had secretly harmed Imperial Physician Fu more than ten years ago. All that was missing was a chance to expose him.

Of course, the Hu family’s matter also reminded them.

The capital was a place where a brick could smash a few nobles to death. Although the Number One Hall was glorious now, they had to be careful.

Once they took a wrong step, it might be a disaster.

Soon, Broker Li came over.

Back then, when he sold this pharmacy to Su Xiaoxiao, Li Baoran knew that he had to come back soon.

However, to his surprise, it was not Su Xiaoxiao’s Number One Hall that went out of business, but the Benevolence Hall next door.

He had been a broker for many years, but he did not expect to make a mistake.

Su Xiaoxiao asked if the Benevolence Hall next door had any intention of renting its premise.

Broker Li looked troubled. “Yes, but… it’s already been bought.”

Manager Sun was stunned. “So soon! Who is it? Who dares to buy Benevolence

Hall?”

Something big had just happened to the Benevolence Hall. Logically speaking, it would not be sold so quickly.

Broker Li said truthfully, “I originally thought that it would be quite difficult to sell. After all… you know the Hu family’s situation better than me. It’s spreading like wildfire in the capital. Who would dare to buy his shop? But last night, someone from the Hu family came and asked me to go over as a broker.

They want to sell the shop.”

At this point, Broker Li glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. “I said that Miss Su from the Number One Hall has taken a fancy to it. At that time, I wanted to help Miss Su protect this shop. You mentioned it to me. If Benevolence Hall wants to sell it one day, I’ll have to look for your first.”

Manager Sun frowned and said, “Does that person not know my Little Su or something? Don’t you know that the owner of the Number One Hall is the biological granddaughter of the old Protector Duke? The grandniece of the Marquis of Zhenbei?”

Broker Li naturally already knew Su Xiaoxiao’s background. “I specially told him. He said that he knew.”

Manager Sun said in confusion, “Why is he still so arrogant? He even dares to snatch the shop that the eldest daughter of the Qin family likes!”

Li Baoren said awkwardly, “He said that his master… is Princess Lingxi..”
