"How much!? Ten minutes?!" Nian Susu woke up with a start, sat up abruptly, got out of bed to put on her clothes, and randomly tied up her waist-length hair with two jade hairpins, then hurried to Yuanlai Restaurant.

On the way, he didn't forget to curse Nian Qiaoyue. Why did she come to the restaurant so early in the morning? It would be fine if she came, but why did she get into trouble?

When she hurried to Yuanlai Restaurant, it was already packed with people who came to watch the fun, and would occasionally shout out a few words in agreement.

"beat!"

"We can't let her go!"

"unacceptable!"

Nian Susu was extremely anxious. He couldn't squeeze in, and he didn't know what was going on inside. He had no choice but to ask the lady next to him, "Auntie, what happened in there? Do you know?"

The old lady had a basket of vegetables on her arm, and it seemed that she had just bought some vegetables and came over to join in the fun.

The old lady looked as if saying "Finally you've asked the right person". She was worried that she couldn't find anyone to gossip with, and when Nian Susu asked her, she immediately told him the whole story.

It all started when Nian Qiaoyue came to the restaurant for breakfast and the waiter accidentally spilled water, splashing it onto her new clothes.

Nian Qiaoyue was angry and cursed a few words. After the waiter apologized, Nian Qiaoyue still insisted on compensation. However, there were only a few drops of water on her clothes, and the water stains disappeared while the two were talking. Naturally, the waiter refused to pay. The two quarreled.

Seeing that she was in the wrong and could not win the argument with the waiter, Nian Qiaoyue slapped him in the face.

After beating the man, they found out that the waiter was the nephew of the original restaurant owner, and he had come to the restaurant to help out for the past few days.

Originally, as long as Nian Qiaoyue apologized to the boss's nephew, the matter would have been over.

But Nian Qiaoyue was a proud person and refused to apologize no matter what. She thought she was not wrong and had no right to apologize.

The boss was so angry that he wanted to report to the police and have Nian Qiaoyue arrested to charge him with intentional injury.

This is what happened. Nian Susu was worried after hearing this. Nian Qiaoyue seemed not to realize that she had offended the owner of Yuanlai Restaurant. She was really hitting a hard wall.

The owner of Yuanlai Restaurant is involved in both the black and white worlds. He has extensive connections and a strong backing, and no one has ever dared to offend him.

Nian Susu didn't want to get into trouble, so after thanking the old lady, he immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

[Remind the host, there are only three minutes left. If you fail to rescue the heroine within the specified time, you will be punished by electric shock! ]

Nian Susu just raised his foot and put it down again, gritting his teeth and spitting, "Nian Qiaoyue! I really owe you!"

Then he turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

After finally squeezing in, Nian Susu's hair was mostly loose, with two jade hairpins hanging crookedly. Without time to tidy it up, he took two steps at a time and walked to Nian Qiaoyue, blocking her behind him.

"Boss Yun, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't discipline my sister well, and she became spoiled. Please don't blame her." Nian Susu was so angry that he took the blame on himself.

Boss Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at her doubtfully, then glanced at Nian Qiaoyue behind her. He realized that this was Nian Susu, the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, so his attitude became much better.

"Miss Nian, is this your sister?" Boss Yun asked knowingly, pretending to be unintentional. "It's my fault that I didn't recognize her. I spoke a little harshly just now, please don't blame me, Miss Nian."

Nian Susu finally let go of her worries and said with a smile, "It was just a misunderstanding. I'll apologize to Boss Yun and Young Master on behalf of my sister." She bowed to Boss Yun and his nephew and performed the salute as equals.

Although Boss Yun had some power, he did not dare to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was ok for him to bully Nian Qiaoyue, the illegitimate daughter, but when Nian Susu's identity as the eldest daughter was revealed, he became timid.

"What are you doing, Miss Nian? We can't afford such a courtesy!" Boss Yun hurriedly gave her a helping hand, sweating profusely.

He also had some connections with people in the palace and had heard that the queen intended to choose the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family as her daughter-in-law, so he didn't want to offend Nian Susu over such a trivial matter.

Nian Susu saw that Boss Yun was wary, so he softened his tone and said a few nice words, and secretly stuffed 50,000 taels of silver into his hands, and the matter was settled.

When the crowd saw that there was no excitement, they dispersed, some feeling a little unsatisfied.

The hall returned to peace, with people drinking and eating meat.

Nian Su sent Boss Yun away and turned to look at Nian Qiaoyue who was standing behind him.

Nian Qiaoyue looked dissatisfied and glared at Nian Susu, "Why are you everywhere? My business has nothing to do with you! Can you please stop meddling in other people's business?" Her frown showed a hint of disgust and impatience.

"If I hadn't come today, you would have been in jail now, did you know that?" Nian Susu glared back at her with a cold face, his tone equally cold, "Who do you think Boss Yun is? Is he someone you can afford to offend? If it weren't for the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion..." She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.

As expected, upon hearing this, Nian Qiaoyue sneered, "Nian Susu, don't you just want to show off your noble status as the eldest daughter? Don't you just want to step on me in front of everyone?"

She lowered her eyes, hiding her sadness, and said softly:

"Yes, because you are the legitimate child, everyone praises you to the sky, and I deserve to be trampled into the mud!"

Nian Qiaoyue turned around, wiped her tears, and ran out of the restaurant.

Nian Susu sighed heavily and was too lazy to explain to her. She was such a sensitive person, and whatever she said would be misinterpreted, so it was better for her to just shut up.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. One hundred thousand taels of silver have been received. You have the chance to play the lucky wheel. Do you want to start the lucky wheel? ]

Nian Susu answered "yes" in his heart.

A large turntable popped up in front of me, with at least a hundred grids on it, and there were several turntables in the system, all of which appeared randomly.

She only remembered "getting a chance to refuse a mission" and "100 million silver ounces". These two were what she wanted the most, but she had never gotten them.

She clicked the lottery button with her mind, closed her eyes, and waited for the result.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Transposition Talisman! ]

This sounded good, and Nian Susu was satisfied.

The system was shut down, and Nian Susu's thoughts returned to reality. He immediately noticed some strange gazes falling on him.

Relying on a woman's sixth sense, she looked up and, as expected, the man on the corridor on the second floor was looking at her with a dark and unclear gaze.

It was still the familiar golden butterfly mask. He was not wearing a round-necked white robe today, but a black tight-fitting suit with a cuff and a lapel. If it weren't for the mask, Nian Susu would hardly have recognized him.

She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then leisurely went upstairs.

Nian Susu imitated him and put her arms on the railing. The two of them were two arms' length apart. She smiled and slowly moved closer to him, "Sir, why are you here?"

That night in the ancestral hall, she asked Xuanji how to contact him. After all, detoxification cannot be completed overnight. Xuanji only said that he would come to her if needed, and refused to reveal anything else.

I knew that Tianxuan Villa has always been mysterious, but I didn't expect it to be so mysterious.

Nian Susu didn't force him, since he was not the one who was poisoned and needed to be detoxified in a hurry.

When he saw Xuan Ji here today, Nian Susu subconsciously thought that he was here to find him.
