Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

The next morning.

Chu Mingxiao only sent the person to the city gate and left, leaving Lingyu to protect him closely.

Su Qiuyi knew that he had returned secretly and no one could know that he was back. He followed Ling Yu all the way to a courtyard of Chu Mingxiao in the capital.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a dozen servants waiting.

"This old servant pays respects to Miss Su. Miss Su must have been tired on the journey. The mansion has arranged everything. I hope Miss Su will not mind..."

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, an old man with gray beard came up to Su Qiuyi and saluted him. Fortunately, Su Qiuyi had watched many costume TV dramas, so he responded without any flaws.

Then more than ten maids and servants in the mansion came to pay their respects, and Su Qiuyi responded to them one by one fluently.

But her fluent response made the servants very confused and puzzled.

Butler Xu came over yesterday to explain that the young master's distinguished guest would be staying at the mansion today, and asked them to entertain him well. It is said that the guest is a little country girl.

Looking at her today, how can she be a country girl? She is able to handle things with ease, and looks no worse than a noble lady in Beijing.

Su Qiuyi was not stingy either. Every servant received a reward, neither more nor less, just in accordance with the rules.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to live here during her stay in the capital, and she must get along well with the servants so that she doesn't have to worry.

"Miss Su, let's go back to the yard prepared for you to rest and have dinner later!" Lingyu looked at Su Qiuyi, whose demeanor was no less than that of the noble ladies in the capital, and her eyes were full of joy. She hurried forward and invited him to go into the mansion.

Along the way, Su Qiuyi followed Lingyu and looked at the decorations of Chu Mingxiao's mansion, including rockery and flowing water, carved beams and painted rafters, and pavilions and corridors.

Everything demonstrates the owner's generosity and taste.

She knew that Mo Jincheng had been following her from behind, looking at her back with eyes that she couldn't understand, but she hadn't figured out how to tell him about this, so she pretended not to know.

But just at the end of the corridor, when the two were about to go their separate ways, Mo Jincheng stopped her.

"Yiyi, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Su Qiuyi turned around, but Lingyu was faster than her.

"Mr. Mo, we are all tired. Let's talk later if we have anything to say! Let Miss Su go and rest first."

But she also had another mission, which was to keep an eye on Mo Jincheng and not let him have too much contact with Miss Su before the prince came back.

Su Qiuyi pulled Lingyu away and shook his head at her, "Lingyu, wait over there for a moment. I want to talk to Brother Mo!"

"But..."

"Okay, go over there and wait for me!" Su Qiuyi knew what this girl was thinking, but she just didn't like being monitored. Although she knew that she would not like Mo Jincheng, she still felt uncomfortable being treated so uneasy by Chu Mingxiao.

Seeing that Su Qiuyi was a little angry, Lingyu didn't dare to say anything. She took the other four maids who came to serve Su Qiuyi and walked away a little, waiting.

"Brother Mo, if you have anything to say, you can tell me now!"

Mo Jincheng nodded, then hesitated for a while before speaking, "Yiyi, what is your relationship with...Mr. Chu?"

Su Qiuyi guessed that he would ask this, and she had also thought of a good answer, so she answered directly and honestly, "I promised him that I would try to like him."

But this answer surprised and delighted Mo Jincheng, and he couldn't help but take a step forward.

"So, you two don't have a relationship now?"

The excitement on his face was beyond words, which made Su Qiuyi's heart skip a beat. But she couldn't let him make it clear. They would meet again in the future, so how awkward would that be?

"No, we're together."

She hastened to add.

"But didn't you just say you wanted to give it a try?" Mo Jincheng didn't give up.

He followed along all the way, running around, and following along despite the pressure of being punished by his own father, wasn't it just for a chance to confess his feelings?

How could it be allowed to be snatched away by that Mr. Chu who showed up out of nowhere?

"do you like him?"

Seeing that Su Qiuyi didn't say anything, Mo Jincheng asked again.

She is so good to me, it is impossible for her to like someone else.

Su Qiuyi thought about this question seriously.

Do you like him?

Do you like Chu Mingxiao?

The first time I saw him, I was mesmerized by his face.

In their later interactions, she learned that Chu Mingxiao was a young general, and her impression of him improved a lot, especially since he had saved her before.

But can these be considered as likes?

It should be counted, right? She likes to be with Chu Mingxiao. If she doesn't hate him, doesn't that mean she likes him? It's just that she hasn't reached the point where she has to marry him.

If she were to separate from Chu Mingxiao now, she wouldn't have too many emotional ups and downs.

So she nodded and said seriously, "I like it."

Her answers are always decisive. If she likes someone, then she likes him/her and there is no need to hide it.

"What do you like about him?" Mo Jincheng continued to ask, still unwilling to give up.

Su Qiuyi blurted out, "She's good-looking and has great skills."

Well, Mo Jincheng thought he was good-looking, but his skills... were really nothing to brag about.

It turns out that Yiyi likes warriors, not scholars...

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't hurt, but now that he had faced the reality, he wasn't the kind of person who would dwell on it.

After some mental preparation, he finally calmed down.

"Okay, then you must protect yourself and don't let yourself be bullied! Brother Mo wishes you happiness!"

Su Qiuyi finally felt relieved.

"Thank you, Brother Mo."

What else could she say? Only thank you.

"Take a night's rest. I will be back early tomorrow morning. I feel relieved knowing that you will be fine. Do you want to write a letter to Uncle Su? If so, give it to me tonight and I will help you deliver it. As for Yueyue and Xingxing, if you buy gifts for them, I will bring them along as well!"

Mo Jincheng returned to his former self, which made Su Qiuyi feel a lot more at ease.

"No need, Brother Mo. I can't stay in the capital for long. I still have to go back. The grocery store and the orchard are waiting for me to go back and make arrangements!"

She comes to the capital just to see the world and will be back soon. Why bother her?

"Okay then! Be sure to be safe. I'm leaving first!"

Lingyu felt relieved only after Mo Jincheng left. She could finally explain to her own young master that she did not let anyone else take Miss Su away.

And what did she hear? Miss Su and Ju Ran also liked the prince. This was explosive news. She wanted to ask the prince for a reward.

The courtyard prepared for Su Qiuyi was the main courtyard of the house. After Su Qiuyi learned about it, he proposed to change the courtyard.

"Lingyu, I am just a guest. It is not appropriate for me to live in the main courtyard. How about you ask someone to move me to the rose garden? I saw the beautiful roses in that courtyard when I passed by."

It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, she just doesn't want to live in someone else's main courtyard so openly.

Although this is Chu Mingxiao's private residence, it still doesn't feel good.

"Miss Su, this is arranged by our young master. Who dares to make the decision without permission? You can live here with peace of mind. This is just a private residence. There is nothing special about it! No one in the Duke's Mansion knows about this place. No one will come to disturb you! Don't worry! I will arrange a meal for you and let Xiaolan and Xiaohong come in to help you wash up, okay?"
