Chapter 270 The Master Goes to the Countryside
"Miss Zhao, what are these two's names?"
Chen Yunrui came over to support them when he saw the figures of several people.
Now Zhao Huanxi is his savior, so he has to flatter her well.
Huanxi smiled and said, "This is the village chief of Dashi Village, and this is the clan leader. We came to town early in the morning by ox cart, so we are a little late. I hope Master Zhou will not blame us."
Master Zhou greeted the two elders and said politely:
"I hope you are all well. My surname is Zhou, and my courtesy name is 'Zi Ju'. I hope you will take good care of me in Dashi Village from now on."
"Master, that's not right. It's a great honor for our Dashi Village that our shabby little village has someone as capable as you."
Seeing that the village chief and the clan leader were a little reserved, Huanxi asked how Master Zhou's mother was doing today.
"My mother is able to get out of bed and walk today. She was very happy to hear that we were going to Dashi Village today."
The servants of the Chen Mansion had already started loading things onto the car, and Huanxi also saw Zhou Wencong's mother.
She was a little different from the aunt she had expected.
This Aunt Zhou is about 40 years old, but she is in very good condition, though she looks a little sickly.
Her hair was neatly tied up, and although there was some white hair mixed with black hair, and she didn't wear any jewelry, it was still clear that she was a beautiful woman with outstanding grace in her youth.
"Junior Zhao Huanxi greets Aunt Zhou. I hope Aunt Zhou is well." Huanxi bowed politely.
She learned this from Yu Yan, and she didn't expect to use it here.
"Miss, please get up quickly. I hope you will take care of me in the village from now on."
"You're too polite, Auntie..."
After another round of greetings, to be honest, Huanxi was really a little tired.
The group got on the car and happily said to the village chief:
"Uncle, I have something else to do in town, so I can't go back with you. Please tell Manager He to take good care of the family. I won't be back for a few days. As for the carriage, I've already called the escort agency, so don't worry."
"Girl, I know you're busy. Isn't Zhao'er here? You two... well... you should take care of yourselves."
He could see that she had something to discuss with this Young Master Chen, and an old man couldn't help much, so he could only say some bland, warm words.
"Uncle, don't worry, there is one more thing. You must listen, it is very important." She quietly approached the village chief and told him what might happen.
The village chief's expression suddenly changed, but he calmed down and said:
"Girl, I understand. I will take care of it. Don't worry about Dashi Village. We two old guys are here, and the walls are still there. We have fought against the bandits before, so we are not afraid of these insidious ones."
The village chief's attitude is still very open-minded. Where there is progress, there is jealousy, where there is jealousy, there is suffering, and where there is suffering, we must overcome it.
If Shuxiangju collapses, their village will not be able to stand up again, so now they can only work together and unite to fight for a good result.
After seeing them off, Huanxi turned to Chen Yunrui and asked:
"Have you found your father? My men have already started to act, you can't retreat."
Chen Yunrui grinned and said, "Don't worry. We've already sent word that someone from Pang's Escort Agency is accompanying us. This way, we can let loose and give him a couple of powerful blows at Xiang Man Lou."
"Don't be too happy yet. I've already found out that Xiang Man Lou is backed by a powerful force from the capital. They can crush us like an ant."
"You can't just stand there and let people bully you, right? Even a clay man has some temper."
Huanxi was very satisfied. She was just afraid that Chen Yunrui was a coward, and there was no need for her to continue cooperating with such a person.
To do business, you must dare to think and dare to fight.
Don't provoke trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble.
No matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.
She returned to Shuxiangju, but unexpectedly an unexpected guest came to her door.
"Oh? Master Liu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder what brings you to Shuxiangju today?"
It was Liu Song from yesterday, followed by two servants, holding some things in his hands.
"Boss Zhao, nice to meet you... I came back to apologize to you... My wife is ignorant and has caused trouble for your Shuxiangju..."
Huanxi smiled falsely and said, "It's all in the past. When you open a business, you're bound to encounter these kinds of things. Master Liu, don't take it to heart."
"Oh... I've always felt bad, so I brought some things here to apologize... Boss Zhao is kind and doesn't want to make a fuss. He should at least make me feel better."
It seems that I have to accept this gift today whether I want to or not.
But she really didn't want to pay any attention to Mr. Liu in front of her.
Although he had a good reputation, Huanxi could sense hypocrisy in his eyes.
Zhou's death was shameful. Logically, he should have handled the funeral at home, but he came to apologize with two servants in a grand manner. This was bizarre no matter how you look at it.
"I appreciate the kindness, but please take the things back. I can't blame you for this. If I accept the things, it will inevitably be implicated. Besides, I am a woman, and if I accept the things from the master, there will be gossip. The master has a good reputation, and I am sure he doesn't want me to suffer such unfounded rumors."
Liu Song didn't expect that the woman in front of him was so good at fighting, and actually used what he was best at to fight back against him.
"Boss Zhao, what are you talking about? I sincerely apologize. How could such nonsense be spread out..."
"I understand what Master Liu means. Don't worry, let's just pretend it never happened. I'm not a stingy person, don't worry."
The implication is that you can take the items back and I won't keep this account with you.
Liu Song was not stupid either, and he immediately understood the meaning of Huanxi's words.
He stood up and said with a smile:
"In that case, I am the one who is taking advantage of others. I have brought something with me and there is no reason to take it back. Boss Zhao is an open-minded person. I, Liu Song, will make you my friend so that I can take care of you when we come and go in the future."
Huanxi also stood up with a fake social smile on her face:
"Of course. Mr. Liu is a kind man. It is an honor for us at Shuxiangju to have a friend like him."
"Then I won't bother you, Boss Zhao. I have something important to attend to at home. I'll take my leave now. I'll go to your Shuxiangju for dinner next time."
"Okay, Master Liu, take care. Yunchuan, go see him off..."
Looking at the master and his servants walking away, Huanxi lowered his eyelids in joy. The thing that Liu Song insisted on sending was probably not just an apology gift.
He brought the two boxes into the house, and found some useless things in them. As expected, he found a letter in the secret compartment.
After Huanxi finished reading the letter, his eyes became even colder.
So that's how it is... No wonder Zhou would rather hit his head against a pillar and die in court than reveal who gave him the medicine.
After all this time, I was threatened.
But Zhou was not innocent either. He had the intention to harm others and carried it out.
Now the truth behind this was clear. What made Huanxi even more surprised was why Liu Song sent this letter to her?
Does she seem reliable?
