He actually sat in the teahouse opposite her restaurant for the entire afternoon.

He was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't let Li Qingluo know that he was secretly accompanying her.

Seeing her walking around the hall all day, he asked Zhuiyu to go to the bookstore and buy him some books on acupoints.

After watching it yourself, you will naturally know how to press it to make her most comfortable.

When had Li Qingluo ever been treated so preciously and cared for?

A pair of eyes are getting redder and redder.

"Ashi, you will spoil me."

"If you stop being so nice to me in the future, I'll be very disappointed."

"Am I too greedy?"

Duan Rongshi held her ankle and gently pulled her closer to him. He lowered his head and touched her forehead.

"Luo'er, you are my only one in the world now. And I won't make any promises about the future."

"But if I have time, I will never let my Luo'er down."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Duan Rongshi did not stop the movement of his hands.

Li Qingluo then asked, "By the way, what have you been busy with these days?"

"Why did I hear Zhui Yu mention that master in the palace this morning?"

"Ashi, what's going on? Do you know anyone in the palace?"

Duan Rongshi: "An old man named Ji."

"I'm almost at the age of retirement, so I came out of the palace to look at the house."

"He has a godson who shares his last name and now sits in his former position as the Grand Steward."

"This old man Ji is a chess fanatic."

"So I deliberately went to the chess game and solved two difficult chess pieces, which caught his attention."

"These past few days, I've been going out early and coming back late because I've made an appointment with him and we've become chess friends."

Li Qingluo naturally understood after hearing this.

She couldn't interfere in Duan Rongshi's affairs, and she knew that he had his own plans, so she just asked him to be extremely careful.

As the two chatted, Duan Rongshi mentioned the matter of Que'er and Zhui Yu.

"I didn't mention the incident you mentioned to Zhui Yu a few days ago because Zhui Yu was married to his aunt's cousin when he was young."

"It's just that his family suffered a great disaster, so he has lost contact with my aunt's family since I can remember."

"He has been secretly searching for her all these years. Although there has been no news, he doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking the contract."

Li Qingluo was surprised: "Child marriage?"

"I really didn't expect this."

"But if that's true, isn't that girl already quite old? How could she still be waiting for him?"

Duan Rongshi: "Zhuiyu is already twenty-three."

"I asked, he is one year older than that cousin."

"If I really hadn't waited for him, I'd have already married and had children."

Li Qingluo: "Ashi, is there another possibility?"

"Even with your manpower, you can't find any information about that girl. Besides, when Zhuiyu's family suffered a disaster, wasn't his aunt implicated?"

"If the beam hadn't been moved out, then perhaps..."

Li Qingluo didn't say it, but Duan Rongshi understood.

He nodded.

Apparently he thought so too.

"So, today I mentioned your girl Que'er to him."

"His face was red and white, and he didn't give a clear answer."

Li Qingluo: "If he's so coy and wants to spend his whole life looking for his cousin, will Que'er also wait for him forever?"

"Although this girl doesn't fully understand, I know her. If she has made up her mind, she will be stubborn."

"But if Zhuiyu finds someone, or continues searching for another ten years, wouldn't Que'er's wait be in vain?"

Although Li Qingluo admired and approved of Zhui Yu, if he really wanted to drag Que'er with him, she, as a girl, would not agree.

And Nanny Deng has passed away.

Li Qingluo made careful plans for Que'er.

Seeing that she was very worried, Duan Rongshi said: "Things will work out in the end. There is no point in worrying."

"Even though Zhui Yu seems unreliable on the outside, he's actually quite clear-headed."

"If he makes a mistake in this matter and fails your girl, you can turn around and marry her to Leng Dian."

"Lengdian is just a little clumsy in his words, but he's no worse than Zhuiyu."

"If all else fails, there's still Po Feng, who's the most reliable."

"You can choose any of them."

Li Qingluo burst out laughing.

"Now that I think about it, I still have over twenty more words to kill."

"Anyway, Que'er won't have trouble finding a husband, huh!"

"This guy Zhui Yu is going to teach her a lesson."

The couple were talking privately in the room.

Que'er also quickly discovered that Zhuiyu was hiding from her!

For some strange reason, since he came to the restaurant to find her today, he didn't dare to look her in the eye, and he didn't face her directly when talking.

And when Que'er had something to ask him, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Just now, Que'er didn't ask him what he wanted to eat for dinner. After all, she was hungry and wanted him to go to the kitchen quickly to urge them to prepare food.

As a result, he ran away!

Is he sick?

Que'er rolled his eyes, feeling somewhat unhappy.

Next, Li Qingluo continued to be busy with the restaurant affairs every day.

Duan Rongshi also started to go out early and come back late.

The couple only see each other at night.

Sometimes they couldn't even meet each other. Every time Duan Rongshi came back, Li Qingluo was already fast asleep from exhaustion.

For more than ten days in a row, Huaxie Restaurant was the most prosperous restaurant in the entire Nan'an City.

Soon, it aroused the jealousy and public outrage of other families.

As expected, the accidents that Li Qingluo had anticipated and waited for also occurred one after another.

There is a shortage of food.

There was a fire in the kitchen.

There is a snake in the wing room.

Some people even deliberately provoked and humiliated the female waiter who was running errands.

The rest is just forgotten.

As for this person who was deliberately looking for trouble, Li Qingluo found out the reason and realized that it was not the fault of his waiter, so he asked the person to leave.

Soon, the news that Huaxie Restaurant was bullying its customers spread throughout the city.

Li Qingluo was not afraid either.

Because there were other female witnesses who testified for her.

"It's obvious that she deliberately scolded the woman who ran away. She didn't stay at home to take care of her husband and children, but ran out to work as a waitress in the public eye. This is a disgrace to the women of Da Chu who abide by the virtues of women."

"She cursed people so much, but why didn't she consider that she was also going to the Huaxie Restaurant for dinner? Isn't she showing off?"

"Don't worry about her. This kind of person is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Huaxie Restaurant. She has red eyes and can't stand seeing good things happen!"

"Huh? Why do I feel like she looks familiar? She looks like the proprietress of the Huaishui Inn in the north of the city."

"What a despicable method!"

"Isn't it?"

The reputation of Huaxie Restaurant was not damaged.

But soon, someone in the city followed suit and opened a second women's restaurant.

It’s called - Full Moon Restaurant.

Soon, the new Full Moon Restaurant took away Li Qingluo's customers.

That day, Li Qingluo returned home early.

Que'er frowned anxiously, but she acted as if nothing had happened.

"Girl, why aren't you in a hurry?"

"From now on, our Huaxie Restaurant won't be the only women's restaurant in the city. Our business has already been affected. Do you really not care?"

Li Qingluo drank tea leisurely.

"Of course I do."

"But what's the point of us getting anxious here?"

"Just take your time, things will work out in time! Besides, the truth is revealed in the details."

"We are going to fight a long battle."

"It's just a Full Moon Restaurant now. If there are a second and a third restaurant like it popping up in the future, and I get angry about all of them, won't I be angry forever?"

"We just do our job. These ladies have felt our sincerity and commitment, and those who left will naturally come back."

Que'er listened attentively and gradually calmed down.

Li Qingluo suddenly stood up because she smelled blood.

She sniffed, "Where did it come from?"

She followed the smell to the bathroom.

I saw the black clothes that Duan Rongshi had taken off on the clothes rack.

She walked forward and touched it, and her hand instantly became wet and sticky.

Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat. She opened her palm and saw it was blood red.

She couldn't help but exclaimed: "He's hurt?"
