Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Qu Xiaoxiao asked the Four Tigers and the Five Tigers to stay with Situ Zhige for protection, and she only left Nanny Cha and the Song family to serve her.

As for the servants indentured to death left by the Sun family, Qu Xiaoxiao asked Madam Cha to sell them directly, and then buy a few new ones to place in her and Situ Zhige's courtyard.

Of course, they have all been fed the Loyalty Pill.

Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige quickly settled down in Xinyang City. Even the family dinner at the Xinyang Palace the next day was uneventful, with nothing extra happening.

Prince Xinyang had a rather strange personality.

He was neither particularly enthusiastic nor indifferent to his nephew, Situ Zhige. He was just like an ordinary elder, looking after the younger relatives within his ability. That was all.

As for the affairs within the family and the management of Xinyang City, they have nothing to do with Situ Zhige.

Situ Zhige was naturally happy about this.

He received his monthly salary on time, just like the other juniors in the palace. All expenses for the villa were paid directly from the palace account.

He himself had no need to spend money.

So every time he received his monthly salary, he would honestly hand it all over to Qu Xiaoxiao, and never thought of keeping a single penny for himself.

In his heart, since Qu Xiaoxiao was his fiancée, she was naturally the only wife he would have in his life. There was no problem handing the money over to Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao took his gifts and felt quite amused.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I lost or gained money.

Never mind, never mind, this guy is his "task" after all, no matter if he makes a profit or a loss, just let it be. The two of them had nothing to do every day, so they went shopping together.

After being expanded again and again by the King of Xinyang, Xinyang City now covers a very large area.

The city's construction was also quite distinctive. Soon, the city's small streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns were filled with the leisurely figures of a large and a small man.

After observing them for a while, King Xinyang was quite satisfied with these two young men who were calm and did not cause trouble, so he increased their monthly salary by twenty taels each.

Yes, Qu Xiaoxiao also has monthly salary, and the monthly allowance is the same as Situ Zhige’s.

For this reason alone, Qu Xiaoxiao had a much better impression of Prince Xinyang and Princess Xinyang. You have to know that in ancient times, favoring boys over girls was the norm, and her conditions were really too high to be a royal fiancée.

It is truly commendable that the Xinyang Palace treats her and Situ Zhige as equals.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige were sitting on the second floor of a unique teahouse on the street, enjoying their tea and aroma, when they suddenly heard a familiar voice from across the street corner:

"Tofu, stinky tofu~"

"It smells bad, but tastes delicious. It's only one penny a dollar. Come and try it, come and buy it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay!"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked over and saw a little girl about ten years old selling stinky tofu on the street across from her. Oh, isn't that the heroine, Sun Bailu?

Did he follow the Sun family to Xinyang City and start a business to get rich?

Tsk tsk tsk, look at this skinny little guy, he must be having a hard time. Looking to the side, sure enough, Madam Sun and Sun Miaomiao were also at the stall.

They seemed to be helping her, but if you look closely you'll find that they were neither shouting nor touching the stinky tofu.

It would be more accurate to say that he was "monitoring" Sun Bailu rather than helping her, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Seeing that, under Sun Bailu's enthusiastic promotion, a few people had already gathered in front of the stall. A woman who seemed to be a little greedy held a copper coin in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally handed it over:

"Girl, give me a piece to try~"

"Hey, good!"

Sun Bailu was delighted to hear this. She had been hawking her wares for quite some time, finally opening a shop. This stinky tofu smelled incredibly stinky, just like the one she'd smelled in her old modern world. She was confident it would sell well.

Sure enough, under the leadership of the old woman, some spectators who were originally hesitant also paid a copper coin.

It’s only one penny anyway, not expensive.

Many people are willing to try food they have never eaten before. In a short while, Sun Bailu collected more than ten coins.

Madam Sun and Sun Miaomiao were delighted upon seeing this - if they continued like this, they could actually make a small profit that day, which would be worth the embarrassment of being in public.

Unfortunately, after a while, a discordant voice came from the crowd:

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, what's that smell? It stinks!"

"Yes, it's awful. Oh my god, is this really something for human consumption?"

"Ugh~" Another man was even more exaggerated, squatting on the street corner and vomiting. After vomiting enough, he jumped up and pointed at Sun Bailu and cursed:

"You little bitch, how dare you lie to me!"

"Is that shit you're feeding us? Not only does it smell bad, it tastes bad too!"

"Damn it, you dare to charge me a penny for this? If I had known it was so disgusting, you would have given me ten cents and I wouldn't have eaten this stinky thing!"

There was also a little boy holding his stomach and saying, "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts, I want to poop~"

Seeing this, the bystanders quickly dropped the stinky tofu they had not eaten.

"Refund the money, refund the money quickly~"

"Report to the police! Let them arrest this liar! She dared to poison!"

Madam Sun and Sun Miaomiao's smiles froze on their faces before they could fade away. Sun Bailu's face also turned pale. It took him a long time to force himself to explain:

"How can it not taste good? Did you make a mistake? Or maybe it's just the first time I'm not used to it. Maybe, maybe after eating a few more pieces, I'll get used to it..."

"Fuck your mother!"

A hot-tempered man, enraged at the words, stepped forward and flipped the stall over. The baking stinky tofu and the dozen or so copper coins he had just collected rolled onto the floor along with the stall.

Several naughty children immediately rushed up, picked up the coins one by one, and then disappeared into the crowd.

"Money, that's my money~" Sun Bailu collapsed and shouted when he saw this scene.

She simply couldn't bear to recall the experiences during this period. After Qu Xiaoxiao and Situ Zhige left early, her life became worse and worse.

Not only did she not have enough to eat, but she also had to endure the cold stares and sarcasm from Madam Sun and the sisters of the third room every day. Other members of the Sun family also bullied her, both openly and covertly.

Life was almost the same as when the original owner was in the Chen family.

However, she did not dare to complain because one day she found that Sun Jiaojiao from the eldest wife was missing. Later, a six-year-old girl from the third wife also disappeared silently.

Sun Bailu was afraid that one day he would disappear silently from this world.

She couldn't guarantee that she would return to the modern world after her death, especially since the mall could no longer be contacted. Yes, Sun Bailu no longer had any hope that the mall would appear again.

But she carefully concealed her panic and did not dare to let the Sun family see it.

Instead, she began to reveal to Sun Zhengzhi and Madam Sun, intentionally or unintentionally, some of the knowledge she knew in the fairy world, as well as some things that were not available here.
