Chapter 130 Madam, You Shouldn't Be Involved
So they struggled repeatedly, but finally decided unanimously that this was the right choice.
Even if they have to die, they want to die with their masters. Of course, they will also make arrangements for their wives.
"However, there is still something missing in your plan." Su Man said slowly.
The two looked at Su Man in confusion again.
Didn't they plan it well? How come there was a mistake somewhere?
Su Man smiled at them.
"You forgot to bring me with you. Do you think it's appropriate to leave me alone at this time? Don't forget who I am now. You can all go through fire and water for your master, but I am still your young master's mother."
There was shock on the two men's faces. They really didn't expect Su Man to say these words.
"Madam, no, how can this be possible? You..."
"Why can't I?" Su Man interrupted Fu Si directly, "Do you think I'm unworthy?"
"No, no, ma'am, that's not what we meant, but you can clearly have a better life, you shouldn't be dragged into this..." Fu Si didn't know what to say next.
Su Man knew that the two were worried about her.
"I know what you are thinking, but from the day I accepted the two children, the day I accepted them calling me mother, I could not ignore them. I didn't go with you before because I was tricked by your master, and there were still some things I hadn't thought through, but now I have thought it through.
Although the two children are not my own, I feel that since they are willing to call me mother, they must really regard me as their mother. If I don't save them, how can it be justified? Am I still worthy of being their mother? "
Fu Si and Fu Qi didn't say anything else because they didn't know what else to say.
For them, they never thought that one day Su Man would be willing to get involved.
But it has to be said that it was hard for them to disagree with what Su Man had just said.
"Madam, we all know to listen to you." Fu Si said.
Su Man smiled slightly. It was okay. These two people were not that difficult to deal with.
"Okay, in that case, let's just hold off for now and wait for what happens next, then we'll go find them together."
The two nodded again.
"By the way, I have another question for you. Did you really not receive any letters after the three of them left?"
The two men's faces froze, there was a hint of guilt in their eyes, and they stammered, not knowing how to answer Su Man at all.
After seeing this, there was nothing Su Man didn't understand.
"It seems like someone hasn't been telling me the truth before."
"No, ma'am, this is..." Fu Si looked at her hesitantly, "It's not that we didn't tell you the truth, but..."
"And what?" Su Man asked directly, "Now that things have come to this, is there anything you can't say? I didn't ask before because I knew they would be fine, as long as nothing happened to hinder us. But now look, is there any need to keep it secret?"
I have to say, Su Man’s words make a lot of sense.
Fu Si did not continue to hide it.
"In fact, I didn't receive any letters. I only received one letter, which was a letter from them when they arrived at the Imperial City, and I haven't received any since then."
Su Man didn't say anything, but just looked at him with disbelief.
"It's true!" Fu Si explained quickly, "It was just one letter. The master said that since we have to separate temporarily, we should do it thoroughly and not exchange letters casually, so as not to be discovered. The master also said in the letter that he would not write to us in the future. Once we receive the next letter, it means that we may have leaked it. Fu Qi and I must take you away."
Su Man looked at the two of them and they didn't seem to be lying, or there was nothing to lie about at this point.
"Alright, alright, I didn't say I really don't believe it. In that case, let's do as your master says. Once we receive the next letter, we will go find them. But before we receive the letter, we must be mentally prepared at all times. On the surface, we must pretend that nothing has happened. We must not hold your master back."
The two nodded.
"By the way, do we need to talk to Fu Fu?" Su Man asked again.
"No need, everything has been arranged over there, ma'am, you don't have to worry." Fu Si said.
Seeing this, Su Man didn't say anything else.
"In that case, let's all go back and rest."
"Okay." Fu Si and Fu Qi left one after another.
"By the way, Fu Qi, remember to go to the kitchenette to eat something. I saved dinner for you." Su Man said to Fu Qi's back.
Fu Qi paused, turned around and said thank you to Su Man.
Su Man waved without caring. After the two of them left, she stood up, stretched, closed the door and prepared to go to bed.
Of course, that was for Fu Si and Fu Qi to see. After the two of them left, she lay down on the bed, seemingly sleeping, but in fact she had already entered the space.
Thinking about what happened today, she took out the safe that had been kept in the space.
Since she put the safe in there, she never thought that one day it would be opened.
There were two small wooden rifles and some bullets in the safe.
She knew that with this thing in her hand, she would not die no matter what.
But... she has already decided to look for the two children. If something really happens to the two children, she will have no choice but to sit idly by.
Even if she was slapped in the face by her previous thoughts, she could never let go of her two children.
In the small kitchen.
Fu Qi was eating the food Su Man left for him, and Fu Si was sitting opposite him.
Seeing that Fu Qi had almost finished eating, Fu Si asked in a low voice.
"Tell me, do we really have to take the Madam to find the Master then?"
"Do you want to deceive my wife?" Fu Qi looked up at him and exposed Fu Si's idea with one sharp statement.
Fu Si: “…”
He cleared his throat and said, "Can you not be so blunt? I'm just discussing this with you now. I haven't really made a decision yet."
"What you call discussion means you have already thought about it."
"You... Hey, forget it. You are such a taciturn person, but I am really trying to discuss this with you. What do you think we should do? I have a feeling that things won't be peaceful. We need to prepare quickly. We can't be in a hurry and not be able to find a solution when the time comes."
Fu Qi finished the last bite of his meal, picked up the teacup beside him and drank a sip of water, then said,
"You can't lie to Madam. You know Madam's character. If we don't take her back with us, she will go back alone, which will only put her in greater danger. What's more, she can't bear to leave the master and the two young masters. Just like she said, she can't live without the master and the young masters, just like we can't let go of the master and the young masters. We want to die together even if we die."
Fu Si was stunned, then sighed.
"It's not that I haven't thought about what you said, but we feel a little sorry for our lady by bringing her into this dirty quagmire."
"How do you know that she is not willing to walk into this quagmire? What's more, what seems to be a quagmire to us may not be so to her." Fu Qi said this again.
Fu Si raised his head fiercely, "What do you mean?"
"Literally. Just like us, sometimes it's better to be dead than alive, isn't it?"
The two looked at each other, and in the end Fu Si was defeated.
"You're right. Let's not think about it. We can just protect Madam more when the time comes."
Fu Qi nodded, stood up and said,
"I'll go back and sleep for two hours, and then you'll take over in the second half of the night. From tonight on, we must take turns keeping watch."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight into the room without waiting for Fu Si's answer.
Fu Si: “………” If I remember correctly, he is the eldest brother. This Xiaoqi is really getting more and more capable.
But sometimes Xiaoqi is quite capable, so just listen to Xiaoqi for now.
In the next few days, those suspicious people did not appear again.
If Fu Si and Fu Qi hadn't been with her, she would have really suspected that what she saw that day regarding the master and servant was a dream.
But that's not the case.
Xia Qiu Pavilion's reputation gradually spread, and even people from the neighboring town came to buy clothes.
It's the kind of thing where you go out in the morning, eat something before the lunch market at Xiaqiu Tower ends, then stroll around the town, go to Youran Ju for lunch at noon, then go to Xiaqiu Pavilion for a stroll, and when the time is up, go to Xiaqiu Tower for afternoon tea before returning to the city.
Su Man learned these routes from Wang Dagui.
During the past month, Wang Dagui worked as the shopkeeper in Xiaqiulou and became much more familiar with her. He even apologized to her, saying that he had had many bad impressions of her and had said some things that he shouldn't have said.
Su Man didn't care about any of it, because her original self was indeed that kind of person, and she couldn't blame others. As long as she was fine now.
Su Man told them yesterday that they would only have the morning session today and would have the holiday in the afternoon. Everyone could go back to the village to stay overnight and come out again tomorrow afternoon.
Everyone was so happy that they started preparing lunch right after the morning market. After eating, no one took a break and went to buy things for their families with the salary that Su Man gave them a few days ago.
That’s right, Su Man had already paid everyone’s salary two days ago, and gave each person an extra fifty cents, saying it was a reward for the good business of the store.
It will be the same every month from now on, and rewards will be distributed based on the store’s monthly turnover.
in the afternoon.
It was Wang Dafu who sent them back again in a ox cart. Before leaving, Aunt Mei asked Su Man to tell Yue Niang that she was going back.
Su Man naturally agreed, but what made her curious was that Wang Dagui did not go back.
"Aren't you going back? It's a rare holiday, don't waste your time." Su Man asked him.
"My brother and I can see each other every day, and there's no one else at home. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not. I might as well take a good rest here instead of wasting time. I'll go to Xiaqiu Pavilion later. I haven't been there for so many days since you opened it."
Speaking of Xia Qiu Pavilion, Su Man suddenly remembered the look in Wang Dagui's eyes when she looked at Lin Yue Niang.
There was a glimmer of smile in her eyes.
"Okay, let's go. I also need to talk to Yue Niang about Aunt Mei's return."
When he heard Yue Niang's name, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Wang Dagui's face.
When Su Manpu caught this hint of embarrassment, he became more certain of his guess.
As they walked along, Fu Si and Fu Qi followed slowly behind him.
Just three days ago, Su Man went to the character market here for the first time, which is the place to buy people.
She struggled for a long time before going there, because Fu Si said that she could buy the person she wanted there, and after signing the death contract, she would belong to Su Man for life.
Su Man wanted to find a female accountant. Originally, she just wanted to take a look, but unexpectedly, she actually met one.
The eighteen-year-old girl's family used to be in business, but later an accident occurred and both her parents died. She was harmed by a villain and ended up in such a place.
Su Man noticed the girl's eyes at first sight. They were very determined. Even though people around her insulted her with all kinds of dirty words, she looked completely unmoved.
She bought it back out of pity, intending to save the girl. But after buying it back, she found out that the girl was very pretty, but her face was dirty and a little ugly because she had made it herself.
Moreover, since she is the only daughter in the family, she has learned how to manage the family business from her father since she was young, so accounting is naturally no problem for her.
Su Man hardly taught her and she got the hang of it.
Su Man agreed with the girl that she could return the indenture contract to her, but the girl would have to work here temporarily because she was short of people and she only needed to sign another contract.
What Su Man didn't expect was that the girl didn't want to sell her indenture contract, and said that since Su Man bought her back, she was saving her, and she would belong to Su Man from now on.
Su Man really didn't say anything else and let the girl stay. So now the operations of the two stores are on track. Now she really doesn't have much to do except checking the accounts and walking around the store every day.
Therefore, Su Man planned to go back to the village tomorrow morning and stay for two more days to take a good look at what the house looks like.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the entrance of Xia Qiu Pavilion. When Su Man and the others went in, they happened to see Lin Yue Niang sending a girl and a woman out.
Su Man and Wang Dagui were watching nearby.
Lin Yue Niang was also a little surprised when she saw Wang Dagui, but finally she smiled calmly at the two of them.
"Why are you all free to come here today?"
"Xia Qiulou is on holiday today, and they have all returned to the village. Come back tomorrow afternoon. Aunt Mei asked me to tell you." Su Man replied.
"Is that so? That's good too." Lin Yue Niang smiled. "I was just measuring the size of that girl's wedding dress, and now I have to go back to work. You guys should be fine, right?"
Because she is now more familiar with Su Man, Lin Yue Niang feels very comfortable talking to her.
This is also related to her slowly changing personality. She looks much more cheerful and brighter than before, which makes her look much more beautiful.
Su Man smiled slightly, "Nothing, go ahead and do your work, we just came here to take a look."
