Chapter 673 Two People's Wishes (26)
Xiong Bufan walked over and yanked the blanket off.
Li Han waved her hands wildly, trying to prevent anyone from catching her.
Xiong Bufan's face darkened. He felt that Li Han simply didn't believe him, so he reached out and slapped Li Han across the face, saying, "You better calm down."
The familiar force on her face calmed Li Han down. She no longer resented Xiong Bufan for hitting her and grabbed Xiong Bufan's hand, saying, "Big Fish, is it the First Madam who came to take us back? Let them go quickly."
Xiong Bufan held up five fingers. "Give me five hundred taels a year, and I'll make Madam Wang Shuyi disappear from Baicheng forever."
The price was much lower than before, and Li Han thought that Xiong Bufan had a change of heart, so she quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll give you five hundred taels. You should drive them out of Baicheng as soon as possible."
"Give me the money first."
Li Han quickly picked up her pillow and began rummaging through it, while the maid stood to the side.
Xiong Bufan was somewhat concerned about his reputation, so he waved his hand, and the maid received the signal and left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Running Xiaoyao Garden was a lucrative job, and in less than half a year, Li Han had saved another thousand taels.
At this moment, he gave everything to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Don't lie to me, I am Li Xianyu's biological mother."
Xiong Bufan snatched the silver note away, saying, "I never lie to you."
"You can go out tomorrow. Today I have to deal with the First Madam and the others."
Kongkong, thinking Xiong Bufan was going to silence them, asked, "Bufan, are you going to kill someone?"
"I'm not going. I'm just fooling Li Han."
Kongkong: You just said you weren't lying.
Li Han believed Xiong Bufan's words, "You must drive them out."
"I can do it."
The person was kicked out yesterday, and Xiong Bufan will not go back a second time.
Xiong Bufan has always been very talented at swindling money.
Li Han wasn't actually that scared last night, but she had nightmares all night, so even if she wasn't scared, she couldn't help it.
To ensure the truthfulness of his words, Xiong Bufan spent the rest of his time hiding on the streets, using the money he had swindled to buy food and stuff it into his mouth. He ate his way from the south of the city to the north, and ordered all the signature dishes of Zuichunlou.
Li Han also hid in the house for a whole day, hoping that Xiong Bufan could drive the First Madam away as soon as possible.
The First Madam was still running a fever while walking. She walked for a whole day before finally resting in a small town.
In this matter, Xiong Bufan seems to be the only winner.
That night, Li Han slept soundly, thinking that the troublesome First Madam would no longer appear. He even dreamed of trampling the First Madam under his feet and living a carefree and happy life in Baicheng.
After eating her fill, Xiong Bufan lay at home and slept. The money she had stolen would allow her to live a carefree life for a while longer.
In Xiaoyao Garden, Cui Guohong put on a fake mask and began to entertain customers of both genders. He was frequently sent out and had already earned Xiong Bufan a lot of money.
All we can say is that Xiong Bufan's good days are yet to come.
Li Han hadn't seen Mei for a day and a half. If we consider the saying that a day apart feels like three autumns, then it had been five years since they last met.
After the time stipulated by Xiong Bufan had passed, Li Han quickly left the mansion and returned to Xiaoyao Garden with his men.
Xiong Bufan was still sleeping at home at this time and didn't pay any attention to the matter.
Li Han had just returned when he received news of Mei's disappearance, so he hurriedly sent people to search for her and even reported it to the authorities.
Mei was not only the top courtesan of Xiaoyao Garden and the idol of countless Baicheng ladies, but also the lover that Li Han had chosen in his heart.
Therefore, Mei cannot disappear, nor can she die.
After receiving the news, the officers and soldiers quickly arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation.
Li Han felt some regret at this moment, but it was too late to regret it, and besides, there was no chance to regret it.
The government didn't care much about the lowly status of the young master in Nanfeng Tower, but they still sealed off Xiaoyao Garden for three days and questioned everyone there.
This was a serious business disruption, and after hearing the news, Xiong Bufan gave Li Han a severe beating.
The authorities investigated for a month but found nothing, and Li Han spent the entire month recuperating in bed.
Xiong Bufan used too much force, and Li Han was also preoccupied with her thoughts, her injuries hadn't healed, and she still seemed to be in a lingering state.
During this period, Xiong Bufan was running Xiaoyao Garden, sending out those young masters who performed poorly and were disobedient to entertain guests.
If a young master or young lady is unwilling to let them entertain guests, they can pay to buy them, but the price will be beyond their means.
During the month that Li Han was bedridden, young masters came to visit her every day, hoping to let her talk to Xiong Bufan and prevent her from entertaining guests.
But Li Han couldn't interfere with Xiong Bufan's decision. He could only listen to those young masters complain every day, and when he got tired of it, he would kick them all out.
Unable to find Mei, Li Han finally remembered Xiong Bufan, who should have a way to find the missing person.
Xiong Bufan wouldn't miss out on money that came his way, and he also hoped that Li Han would recover soon so he could go and rest.
When Xiong Bufan returned home, Li Han dressed neatly, got out of bed, went to the kitchen, and had been waiting for Xiong Bufan to come back.
The cook seemed a little nervous when she saw Li Han arrive, and forced a conversation, "Madam, are you here to wait for the young master?"
"Yes, you just focus on cooking. You don't need to worry about the host family."
"It's ma'am."
As Li Han expected, the first thing Xiong Bufan did upon entering the room was to go to the kitchen to find something to eat without changing his clothes.
The cook quickly brought out the prepared food. There was a small guest room next to the kitchen, which saved Xiong Bufan from having to leave the kitchen.
Li Han moved closer to Xiong Bufan and said, "Big Fish, you're finally back."
Xiong Bufan stuffed the pastry into his mouth. "Now that your injury has healed, go back to Xiaoyao Garden to work tomorrow."
"I'm exhausted after this past month."
Li Han: "Big Fish, the work isn't difficult, but I want to ask you for a favor."
Xiong Bufan looked up at Li Han, unable to figure out what Li Han wanted her to do. "What is it?"
"Can you help me find Mei? I want to know where she is, whether she's alive, whether she's..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiong Bufan interrupted him, "The person is dead, don't think about it."
Li Han was stunned, and then tears streamed down her face like noodles. Although she had guessed it, she still couldn't accept the news.
"Really? Who killed Mei?"
Xiong Bufan didn't hide anything from Li Han and said directly, "I killed it because it was trying to sow discord between us."
Li Han found Xiong Bufan's statement absurd. Their relationship was already bad, and it didn't matter whether Mei was there or not. Li Xianyu was just looking for an excuse to kill someone!
The snacks on the table were almost finished, and the cook quickly brought out a second plate. Xiong Bufan reached for the snacks.
