The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

Chapter 422: The Female Sea King and the Handsome Guard (22)

Yan Xue stared down at the dirty, disheveled man in front of her, her heart full of doubts.

She remembered that Xue Yixin was her mother's fourth attendant. He was always dressed in white and was very elegant, like an immortal who had descended to earth, with a strong literary air.

But what about the man in front of me? His face was untidy, his face was slovenly, and his clothes were so dirty that you couldn't tell the original color. He didn't look like the same person at all.

Yan Xue frowned, "Xiao Guang, are you sure he is Xue Yixin?"

Xiao Guang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Host, after careful identification, he is indeed Xue Yixin."

More and more people gathered at the door, pointing and talking.

Yan Xue said to everyone in a deep voice: "Let's take the person back to the mansion first." Then she turned and left.

Yan Xue's eyes hurt when she looked at the man. He was covered in dust and dirt, as if he had just rolled in the mud.

She couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she asked the servants to take him to bathe and wash up first.

After he cleaned up, someone prepared a meal for him.

Only after he had eaten and drunk his fill did he have the energy and strength to walk up to Yan Xue.

He walked towards Yan Xue with unsteady steps, looking very weak.

Xue Yixin's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "Miss..."

Yan Xue sat on the chair, lowered her head slightly, and looked at the man in front of her. After confirming that he was Xue Yixin, she frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xue Yixin trembled as he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a sob: "Slave...slave...is the master here?"

"Mother is out of town visiting the farm. I don't think she'll be back for a while."

Xue Yixin wiped away tears while recounting what he had experienced over the past few days.

After hearing this, Yan Xue finally understood. It turned out that more than ten days ago, when Xue Yixin went out to buy food for the children, he accidentally ran into the chaotic scene of soldiers chasing bandits.

Due to the chaos at the scene, the mule was frightened and pulled the cart away, so the guards had to chase the mule cart.

However, more than one hundred people were arrested by officers and soldiers at the scene, and Zhang Yixin was unfortunately also arrested.

He was not released until two days later, but by then he had lost contact with the team.

What's worse, when he got off the car, he only had two taels of silver on him. In desperation, he could only beg along the way. After going through hardships, he finally arrived in Kuncheng.

The corners of Yan Xue's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This is really unlucky!"

She comforted Xue and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to look for the Third Young Master."

Xue Yixin followed Butler Zhu away crying.

Yan Xue was also confused. What was going on?

At night, Baoya finally came back.

She told Yan Xue all the information she had heard.

After hearing this, Yan Xue couldn't help but frowned and muttered to herself: "I didn't expect that the Kuncheng Chamber of Commerce is quite complicated..."

Bao Ya looked at Yan Xue's solemn expression and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what do you think we should do?"

Yan Xue snorted coldly and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will visit Mr. Li in person tomorrow to see what he means."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mr. Li's house was covered with dark clouds.

"My dear wife, what do you think President Huang meant?" Zhao Songjin, the legal husband of Mr. Li, frowned and looked at Mr. Li with a puzzled look.

Mr. Li's face was gloomy and frightening. He snorted coldly, "Humph, President Huang said something nice, asking me to sell all twelve shops to the Chamber of Commerce.

But in reality, the money still went into her own pocket.

She only gave me 200,000 taels of silver. She must be crazy about money. She is even worse than a bandit!"

Zhao Songjin was also indignant after hearing this, "Wife, our eldest daughter passed the imperial examination and became a juren, and they dare to bully us so unscrupulously!"

Mr. Li's expression became uglier and gritting his teeth, he cursed, "Humph, isn't the entire Kuncheng under the control of Huang Pingling?

The goods in my store alone are worth more than 150,000 taels. Wouldn't Huang Pingling know this?

Now that he has offered a price of two hundred thousand taels, it is clear that he is trying to bully others by taking advantage of his power.

Besides, I heard that she has a backer in the royal court, otherwise how could she be so arrogant and domineering. "

"What? There's someone in the royal court?" Zhao Songjin opened his mouth in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Mr. Li became more and more angry as he spoke. "That's right. Otherwise, how could she have the courage to sit in the position of President of Kuncheng Chamber of Commerce for a full twenty years?"

When Zhao Songjin heard this, his heart tightened: "What should I do now?"

Mr. Li was immediately furious and said, "Now that he has said so, who will dare to buy our shop in the future? At worst, we can just not sell it!"

"My dear wife, please don't get so angry that you become ill. It's just that the eldest daughter has been transferred to the north. Not only is the journey long, but the north and the south are also very far apart. It will definitely be difficult for us to take care of both."

"Of course I understand this logic, but I just can't swallow this!" Mr. Li slammed the table hard and said gritting his teeth.

Zhao Songjin thought for a moment and said, "I heard that a family named Yan has just moved in to West Second Street. They seem to be quite wealthy. I wonder if they would be willing to buy our shop?"

Zhao Song and Li Yuanwai shook their heads helplessly after hearing this, and sighed, saying, "Forget it. Their family has just arrived in Kuncheng not long ago, and their foundation is not yet solid. I'm sure they won't dare to offend the president easily."

"Then...what are your plans, my wife?" Mr. Li was silent for a moment, and finally he sighed and said helplessly,

"If there is really no other way, then we can only sell it to Huang Pingling for two hundred thousand taels."

The next day, Yan Xue visited Mr. Li.

When Mr. Li heard the housekeeper say that it was the Yan family who came to visit, he was quite surprised. After all, his family did not have much contact with the Yan family.

Seeing that it was a young lady who came, he felt a little disdainful.

Yan Xue smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I am Yan Xue, the eldest daughter of the Yan family. I have come to see you today."

Mr. Li frowned. What was a junior doing here?

Yan Xue continued, "My mother has unfortunately gone to a farm in the suburbs and has not been home for the past few days, but I still think I should come and visit her. I hope Mr. Li will not blame me."

Although Mr. Li still had some doubts in his heart, he still responded with a smile, "Haha, it turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Yan family. It's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder what brings you here this time?"

Yan Xue smiled. She didn't expect Mr. Li to be so impatient. "I heard that your family is planning to sell some of the shops recently. I want to know more about the situation."

After hearing this, the smile on Mr. Li's face froze.

He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the young lady in front of him. Could she have been sent by that woman Huang Pingling?
