Chapter 435 The mere second young lady, I'll give way (6)
Su Dingding happily continued strolling around with the osmanthus cake in hand.
Upon reaching the entrance of the teahouse, Su Dingding loudly asked the teahouse owner, "Boss, you won't even sell it for 10,006 taels?"
"Not for sale! Not for sale!" the teahouse owner waved his hand impatiently.
"Fine, don't sell then. Why are you being so aggressive? Humph!" Su Dingding swaggered away.
She has been asking him for six days in a row, increasing the amount by one or two taels of silver each day. She believes that perseverance will pay off, and he will agree sooner or later.
She had only taken a few steps forward when she saw Li Juntian and Li Caihui.
With their wedding approaching, Li Juntian accompanied Li Caihui to buy some jewelry today.
Upon seeing Su Dingding, Li Caihui immediately moved closer to Li Juntian, and the two were almost touching.
"Fox?" Li Juntian looked around nervously.
"Sister," Li Caihui winked at the maid beside her, then feigned surprise and said, "The imperial court is arresting you everywhere. How dare you go out and stroll around like this? Don't you value your life?"
"I've already taken care of those people you mentioned." Su Dingding took a bite of osmanthus cake, glanced at them, and nudged Li Caihui's shoulder to leave.
Li Caihui grabbed her, not letting her leave, "Little sister, don't rush off. Your beloved grandmother was killed because of you, and your brother is now a cripple. Father and Mother are thinking of tearing you to pieces every day..."
"With them?" Su Dingding rolled his eyes. "They'll need to train for another million years."
"You!" Li Caihui angrily reached out to stop Su Dingding.
Su Dingding slapped him across the face, "I hate roadblock dogs like you the most! You don't bite, but you're just annoying!"
[Host, that's a toad.]
"Yes, I hate toads like her the most, always dreaming of eating swan meat." Su Dingding snorted.
Li Juntian blushed instantly.
So, is Xiao Yuhu saying he is a swan?
Sure enough, in her heart, she was still perfect.
Unfortunately, everything has changed, and he is no longer pure.
Li Juntian looked at Su Dingding with even more guilt, his eyes filled with lingering affection for her.
Xiao Yuhu is so beautiful, even her pouty expression is stunning.
Li Caihui covered her face, blocking Li Juntian's view, ready to fight Xiao Yuhu to the death.
"Caihui, let's go." Li Juntian didn't want her to cause trouble for Xiao Yuhu.
"Are you heartbroken for me, or are you just reluctant to let her go?" Li Caihui questioned loudly.
Su Dingding rolled her eyes in annoyance. "He's really sick."
Just as she was about to leave, Xiao's father arrived with his men.
Upon seeing Su Dingding, his eyes were filled with anger.
"Xiao Yuhu, I've finally caught you! Beat you to death!"
He brought dozens of servants with him, and also sent someone to inform Consort Xiao's people when he arrived. He refused to believe that he couldn't kill this little bitch.
Dozens of servants flew through the air, then landed and piled high on top of each other.
Finally, Su Dingding also kicked Xiao's father up with him.
“Father!” Li Caihui called out.
“I’ll take you up to find him!” Su Dingding turned around and kicked Li Caihui up as well.
Li Juntian looked up in disbelief at the people stacked on top of each other, which were taller than the roof.
It was teetering on the brink of collapse, yet it stood firm.
At the very top, Lee Chae-hye screamed in terror, "Help!"
Su Dingding looked at Li Juntian, "You want to save people?"
"Fox, this..."
“No problem!” Su Dingding kicked him up as well.
"what!"
Li Juntian crashed into Li Caihui, letting out a muffled groan.
Li Caihui felt as if her internal organs were about to explode.
The shouts of dozens of people created a spectacular scene.
Gangzi wiped the sweat from its forehead; it could barely keep up with its host's speed in applying glue.
Fortunately, it was faster.
Su Dingding circled her masterpiece once, then skipped away, quite satisfied.
Only then did pedestrians on the street dare to come out and watch; it was truly shocking.
After Su Dingding walked away, the Jenga game involving dozens of people finally collapsed.
When the dozens of people separated, almost a layer of skin had peeled off their chests and backs.
Li Juntian, who is at the very top, only has some peeling skin on his back.
He lay on the bed, feeling that even though Xiao Yuhu had changed, he still loved him the most.
After a sleepless night, Li Juntian went to that teahouse the next day.
He had no power to change anything; the only thing he could do was to help her silently.
Sure enough, Su Dingding came bouncing around again.
"Boss, would you sell it for 10,007 taels?" She didn't have much hope; she was just asking casually.
"make a deal!"
"Fine, I won't sell. What are you laughing at?" Su Dingding said, and then turned to leave.
The teahouse owner was taken aback and quickly chased after them.
"Miss, I agree to the deal. I'll sell it for 10,007 taels!"
"Sold it?" Su Dingding squinted and looked the teahouse owner up and down. "It was only one or two taels more than yesterday, why did you sell it? Did someone die at the teahouse?"
“Young lady, what are you saying?” The teahouse owner was a little angry, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and said, “My mother back home is sick, and I have to go back to my hometown, so I’m in a hurry to close this teahouse so I can pay for my mother’s medical treatment.”
Su Dingding was still not quite convinced, but she still took out the silver notes and signed the teahouse resale contract with the teahouse owner.
Once she got the land deed, the teahouse would belong to her.
"Hahaha, from today onwards, I, Miss Xiao, am the tea shop owner!"
Hiding in the shadows, Li Juntian left with a satisfied smile.
He secretly gave the teahouse owner a five-thousand-tael silver note and sent him away.
After returning home and lying in bed, Li Juntian began to have a fever.
Not only him, but everyone else was the same.
The glue stuck to the skin and wasn't cleaned off in time, causing the skin to ulcerate and become infected.
Li Caihui's forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, and she clenched her fists.
With injuries on her chest and back, she could only lie on her side. In just one day, the festering skin even started to smell bad.
The disdainful look in the eyes of the maids who served her made her very unhappy.
When she applied the medicine, it hurt her, and Li Caihui could no longer bear it and slapped her across the face.
She wasn't very strong, so the slap didn't hurt much.
The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and apologized.
Li Caihui persisted, making her slap herself in the face until she was satisfied.
Mother Xiao came in and chased the maid out.
She sat by Li Caihui's bedside, her face full of worry, and said, "Daughter, someone from the Li family came and said that your wedding date will probably have to be postponed..."
"no!"
Li Caihui was in a daze, but she knew very well that postponing the wedding would be very disadvantageous for her.
“But your current physical condition probably prevents you from having a proper wedding,” said Xiao’s mother.
Li Caihui grabbed her mother's arm and whispered, "Mother, you must go to the Li residence yourself and tell them that I am pregnant and cannot delay any longer!"
"What? Daughter, you and..." Xiao's mother looked surprised.
"Also, tell everyone that my marriage to Li Juntian was to bring good luck to both families, so as to avoid gossip," Li Caihui added.
Xiao's mother nodded.
Li Caihui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her leave.
Once she marries into the Li family, she will be a true noblewoman for the rest of her life!
