The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"This is the master of Suining City that I told you about. He is the one who hired you as a cook." Mo Feifei introduced the man sitting opposite him.

Guo Xin was a little surprised. He was a man wearing a brocade robe with a green background and a Qinglan agarwood crown on his head. He had a pair of sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his every frown and smile revealed his nobleness.

I originally thought that someone who was so fond of delicious food would be a man or woman who looked fat and spoke in a rough voice, but I didn't expect it to be such a handsome young man.

"Greetings, sir." Guo Xin bowed slightly. He hadn't officially started working yet, so he didn't need to call him master, but he still had to be polite.

She had been here for so long, but this was the first time she had felt class oppression so closely. She felt so suffocated that she began to miss the relatively peaceful days before the end of the world.

"I seem to have heard this girl's voice." The young man looked at Guo Xin and suddenly said.

How did she know where she had met this young master? Could it be that she had met him when Guo Xin was still Guo Erya? But the original body didn't seem to have such a young master in its memory.

Seeing Guo Xin's confused face, he had no idea where it was, so he laughed and said, "Today at the market, I asked, 'It's gone so soon.'"

When Guo Xin heard this, she slowly remembered the voice from this morning. It was indeed similar to this voice, so she said, "My hearing is not very good. I didn't recognize you, sir."

Mo Feifei tried to smooth things over, "Then try this bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup you brought. I guess Master Liu went to the market today just for this bowl of vermicelli soup. But this bowl feels a little cold, so it should be heated up."

After saying that, he called Qingluan and asked her to heat up the vermicelli soup and divide it into two small bowls.

For a moment, the private room was dead silent. Guo Xin thought it was about time to go back to the stall. Her elder sister was there at the stall. He was worried about her leaving there alone. Her elder sister was still very weak, and if she was bullied, he would have no way to complain.

Moreover, it was still early for the time she said she would go to Suining City. Only a few days had passed. Just when she was about to speak, the man took the lead.

"I heard that the young lady would have to delay for a month before coming to my house to be a cook due to some important matters. I couldn't wait any longer, so I came directly to Cixi Town." Master Zhao Liu took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

Guo Xin was really worried that she would be forced to become a cook. There were many things in the family that needed her, so she had to bite the bullet and explain, "Some things did delay me. There were some things in the village that needed to be done. The stall in this town has just opened. It will take about a month for everything to be on track."

"No problem." The man brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.

Just as she finished speaking, Qingluan brought out the hot vermicelli soup and placed it in front of Mo Feifei and the man.

The man picked up the bowl, took a sip of the soup first, a satisfied look on his face, then tasted the vermicelli and duck blood, feeling suddenly novel, and kept thanking in his heart that he had made the right trip.

Suddenly, Guo Xin's heart skipped a beat and he became more and more uneasy. He didn't know if something had happened. He wanted to leave here right now, but the man hadn't asked to let him go. If he asked, he didn't know if he would offend this man. At this moment, he really wished he had tremendous power.

I had no choice but to bear the invisible pressure, nodding and bowing, saying, "Sir, Boss, my eldest sister is the only one left in my stall. I am really worried. I have to go back. I am really sorry."

Mo Feifei didn't say anything. Although she watched the Sixth Prince grow up, he was the master after all, and it was not her turn to speak.

The man waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Then let's go."

He just came to have a meal, why was this woman acting so nervous, as if he had done something bad to her? It was so boring.

Seeing that the man didn't care, Guo Xin bowed slightly and left without looking back. His steps became faster and faster, and he almost tripped himself.

……

Suining City was not wealthy in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it was stable. Cixi Town was the best among the four towns under the jurisdiction of Suining City.

Guo Ruo was sitting at the stall eating noodles, chatting with the aunties around him from time to time. He was having a good time when suddenly a few strong men came over. Guo Ruo thought they were coming to eat noodles, so he said kindly: "Gentlemen, I'm really sorry, today's noodles are sold out. If you still want to eat, come back tomorrow."

One of the sturdy men who led the group sneered, took out a stick and smashed it on the cart with a "bang". Guo Ru was startled and said with a pale face: "I don't know how I have offended you all? I will go and rectify it now..."

The aunt who was talking to Guo Ruo fell silent when she saw this. Seeing Guo Ruo, an orphan, facing these strong men alone, she couldn't bear it and whispered, "Those guys are notorious hooligans in the town. The government can't do anything about them. And I heard that..."

"What are you talking about?" One of the sturdy men pointed a stick at the aunt who was talking to him and said fiercely.

Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not having enough eyes."

After saying that, he slapped himself a few times.

The leading sturdy man continued to look at Guo Ruo: "When you opened the stall today, not only did you not pay me, but you also blocked my business. Don't you think I'm serious? Brothers, don't you agree?"

"Yes!" The uniform voice resounded throughout the West City.

Guo Ruo's face lost color. He pretended to be calm as he looked at the burly man in front of him and asked, "How much money do you want, big brother?"

"No more, no less, about one hundred taels. This money is enough for my brothers to eat and drink for a few months. If you hand over the money, I will let you go this time."

After saying that, he looked at Guo Ruo's face lustfully again. The originally thin face had gained some flesh a long time ago. The pale face caused by fear now looked even more pitiful. Such a look could be said to be one of the best in Cixi Town. The strong man touched Guo Ruo's hand with his left hand and said, "If not, you, the beauty, can also be given to our brothers to enjoy, hehehe..."

Guo Ruo pulled her hand away vigorously, but found no change, her hand was held even tighter. The fear in her heart made her want to step back, but she was held so tightly that she could not move. She had to look at the aunts who were chatting with her around her, but everyone was in danger, so how could they dare to help her? Her heart felt like it was drowned by the sea, and there was no hope.

Just when she was about to give up, a handsome man with a sword on his waist slowly walked over, picked up a fruit from the stall next to him and threw it directly at the hand that was tightly holding Guo Ruo's hand. It seemed that the fruit hit some acupoint, and he let go of his hand in pain.

"Who are you? How dare you intervene in my affairs when even the government doesn't dare to intervene?"

The man smiled contemptuously: "Why shouldn't I be afraid of interfering with your rape of a woman?"
