Xia Qingqing was startled, then smiled and said, "So it's Fourth Uncle Shen. Why are you here today?"

She probably guessed the purpose of Shen Xiaosi's visit, but she still had to be polite in her words. After all, he was older and the father of the three powerful men in the Shen family.

"Daniu told me when he got home that Yinglan's problem was all thanks to you. This kid has a very stubborn temper..."

"Uncle Shen, I didn't help much with Yinglan's matter, so you don't have to thank me specially." Xia Qingqing said truthfully.

Shen Xiaosi's expression froze, then he continued with a smile, "I heard that Yinglan was injured and it was you who treated her. I have to thank you. But this child is so pitiful, and she is trapped in such a situation. I want to ask you to talk to Scar Brother..."

"Dad! Why are you saying this!" Shen Xiaoniu said angrily.

"If you don't say it, I will! Even if my old face is thrown on the ground and stepped on by thousands of people, I will get Yinglan back!" Shen Xiaosi said angrily.

Seeing that Shen Xiaoniu was about to say something, Xia Qingqing quickly interrupted him: "Fourth Uncle Shen, I understand how you feel."

"But I really can't help Ouran much. Xiao Niu and the others were here yesterday. Scar asked Ouran to leave, but she didn't want to leave."

Hearing this, Shen Xiaosi's face darkened, and he said angrily, "There are thousands of ways to make money, why choose such a... most dishonorable industry?"

"Actually, I understand you very well," Xia Qingqing said, looking at the crowd, "but I don't think this is a lowly industry."

"Let's just talk about Ouran. She's well-versed in music, playing the zither and singing. She's also making money with her own skills, which makes her very popular among the great writers in Kyoto."

"Even the royal family has to show some respect to the great musicians..."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Shen Xiaosi murmured, "Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course."

Xia Qingqing spoke eloquently, as if what she said was true.

In fact, there were many such people in history, but it was unknown whether there were any in this era. After all, she had not been to Kyoto, but even if there were none, so what?

She, Xia Qingqing, would let this happen.

"Uncle Shen, I have to go to Fengqi Pavilion today anyway. If you're worried, why don't you go see Yinglan?"

"Xiao Niu, don't go today. Come with me to town."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, she turned to Xia Ergou and said, "Uncle Ergou, take the others out to sea."

Several people followed Xia Qingqing to the courtyard, where Xu Xiuxiu had just finished cooking. She was delighted to see Su Xi and immediately said, "Oh my God, Su Xi is here. Yesterday, I was saying how I hadn't seen you in a few days. I said you'd definitely come over in the next two days, so I prepared some roasted rabbit for you. It's simmering in the pot right now."

When Mrs. Ding heard the noise, she immediately popped her head out of the kitchen and said, "There's still a roast chicken."

Su Xi was very touched. She looked at the two of them and said, "Thank you, auntie, and thank you, sister-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? We're all family," Mrs. Ding waved her hand. Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she realized something was wrong and quickly looked at Xu Xiuxiu.

Both of them showed surprised expressions and hurriedly approached Su Xi. Ding touched her forehead and said, "What's wrong with this child today? Why is she saying thank you?"

"Yeah! She even called me sister-in-law." Xu Xiuxiu also tiptoed to check Su Xi's head and murmured, "There's no injury on the head, right?"

Xia Qingqing was amused by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's actions and quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, please stop teasing. Su Xi has been with us for a long time, so it's normal for her to change a little."

"Xiao Niu's father is here today, let's hurry up and eat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Ding realized that there were guests at home, and she hurriedly greeted them while serving out the prepared food.

A large round table was placed in the yard, on which were placed two plates of steamed buns, two small bowls of vegetable porridge, and a plate of pancakes.

Shen Xiaosi was drooling at the sight of so many staple foods. The food was so delicious.

There are also pickled cabbage dumplings and a plate of cold wild vegetables to eat with it.

Shen Xiaosi felt a little uneasy sitting on the chair, but when he saw Shen Yue coming out of the house, he immediately relaxed a lot.

She was even more surprised when she saw that he was wearing new clothes. It seemed that Xia Qingqing was really good to this scholar. She prepared new clothes for him and even gave him a separate room to live in.

"Si'er is here too." Shen Yue was surprised when he saw it and sat on a chair waiting for dinner.

"Master Shen, please have your meal, Brother Shen, please have your meal..."

Huo Gang was very polite. Shen Yue was very pleased to hear it and started eating the white flour buns. Shen Xiaosi also took a bite.

The moment the white flour bun entered his mouth, Shen Xiaosi felt how great it was to be alive.

Then Miss Suxi sat down in front of everyone, and a plate of rabbit meat and a roast chicken were placed in front of her.

A scene that Shen Xiaosi would never forget in his life appeared.

Su Xi cut the roast chicken into several pieces in just a few seconds, and ate the chicken bite by bite with her small mouth. Her round cheeks were puffed up like a cat stealing food.

In a short while, a roast chicken and a hare were eaten up, and he finally drank two bowls of porridge.

Seeing her leave in such a graceful manner, Shen Xiaosi was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Except for him who was shocked, everyone else seemed to be used to it.

Of course, there was also Shen Yue who was concentrating on eating, praising her while eating: "The girl has a really good appetite."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Qingqing eating six steamed buns by herself. He swallowed his saliva and was speechless.

In comparison, Mulan didn’t eat much. It seemed like she only ate three steamed buns.

"Xiao Niu, how come Qingqing and this Miss Suxi are so thin? How come they can eat so much?"

Shen Xiaosi's jaw dropped in shock, and Xiao Niu said calmly, "It's okay today. I didn't eat much."

"Ah? You call this not eating much?" Shen Xiaosi's mouth could easily fit a meal and an egg.

After dinner, Mulan got on the carriage and set off for Qinghe Town with everyone.

As soon as I arrived at Fengqi Pavilion, I saw a lot of people gathered at the door, and there was a familiar carriage parked nearby.

That carriage was none other than the luxurious carriage of the Ouyang family.

At this time, Ouyang Shaohua had just gotten off the carriage, followed by Wang Qingyan. Even Li Nian walked out of the crowd and greeted Wang Qingyan.

When the onlookers saw them walk into Fengqi Pavilion, they felt like their cerebellums had shrunk.

One of the old men rubbed his eyes and asked, "Oh my God, what kind of world is this? How can a man and a woman go to a brothel together?"

"Haha, this is something I've never heard of or seen before. Ouyang Hua and Miss Wang visiting a brothel together is really interesting, really interesting!"
