Lin Qing knew that Yuan Xin was a scheming child, so she didn't force her.

Lin Yuanxin was very grateful to Aunt Lin for her tolerance and whispered, "Aunt Lin, I will definitely tell you the truth after the matter is concluded."

"Okay, but you have to believe that no matter what problems you encounter, we will stand by your side."

Only then did Lin Yuanxin smile.

"Ok!"

The three of them were chatting and laughing as they just walked to the door of the candied fruit shop. The shopkeeper Qian, who was weighing the fruit for the customers, suddenly stuffed all the things into a young apprentice's hands and ran out from behind the counter as fast as a fly, heading straight towards Lin Qing.

His chubby face was filled with anticipation, eagerness, uneasiness, anxiety, and relief. He cupped his hands and choked out a sob as he said, "Oh, Madam, you're here!"

Lin Qing was frightened by his reaction and thought something had happened. When her sour jujube cake was about to be unsold, she was respectfully greeted by Manager Qian and led towards the private room.

Shopkeeper Qian closed the door mysteriously, then knelt down with a bitter look on his face.

Lin Qing tried to help him up in a panic, but almost dislocated his arm.

Shopkeeper Qian cried loudly without caring whether people outside could hear him.

"Madam, please help me!"

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Let's talk it over! Get up quickly!"

Shopkeeper Qian stood up with the help of the three people and said, "It's because Madam Tang was very satisfied with the sour jujube cake you made. She finished it in just two days. Just now, Butler Liu from the Tang Mansion came to me to ask for new sour jujube cakes, but I can't get any!

"I can only perfunctorily tell him to come back later. Madam, please save me! If you don't have any sour jujube cakes, you're really pushing me into a desperate situation!"

Lin Tingting heard that he was crying so hard because he had no sour jujube cakes to sell. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He quickly took out a large bag of sour jujube cakes from the basket and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Qian. I brought it here, didn't I?"

Lin Yuanxin looked over with some confusion.

When they were in the car just now, she helped carry it. She clearly remembered that Aunt Lin’s basket was empty?

Where did you get such a big bag of sour jujube cakes?

Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up, and he took it with trembling hands without even wiping away his tears and snot.

His biggest worry was resolved, and his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees again.

After thanking him many times, Shopkeeper Qian finally took out a piece of silk to wipe his hands, took out a golden scale from his bosom, weighed it carefully, and couldn't help shedding tears.

"Madam! You are truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. This time you brought nearly four and a half pounds! Besides the ones for Madam Tang, maybe I can even sell some!

"This isn't the first time we've met, so I'll be straightforward and give you three hundred and sixty coins. Okay?"

Lin Qing said, "Boss, you are a generous person. It's whatever you say."

Shopkeeper Qian trotted out the door, retrieved the money and handed it solemnly to Lin Qing.

"Qian is deeply grateful for Madam's kindness again. I'd like to ask, when will you come next time? Or can we arrange for me to come and collect it from you?"

Lin Qing had carefully considered the issue of Shopkeeper Qian on the way here.

Although making sour jujube cake is simple and can make money, it will take four or five days to go back and forth. She also has a bun stall at home, so she really has no time to spare.

So she planned to sell the sour jujube cake recipe directly to Shopkeeper Qian after she sold it again.

Of course, this doesn't mean she will give up the opportunity to make money.

After all, there are more expensive rose cakes that have not been taken out yet.

"Don't worry, I won't make you wait two days at most, and I promise that next time I'll send more than this time."

Hearing her say this, Shopkeeper Qian's chubby face forced a bright smile, "Madam, you must keep your word and don't lie to me!"

"If Shopkeeper Qian doesn't believe me, why don't we sign a document?"

When Shopkeeper Qian heard her say this, although he wanted to agree, he finally forced himself to hold back.

"Ahem, that's not necessary, but I have an unwelcome request, and I hope your approval, Madam."

He said shyly, "Madam, if you make other candied fruits in the future, please sell them to me first... Of course, the price is negotiable!"

Lin Qingxin said, even if you don’t say it, I have to take the initiative to bring it up!

But before she could reply, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Jiang Yi's voice arrived before he even arrived.

"Master, you guessed right. The father of Zhao'er, the girl you asked me to keep an eye on the other day, is back in town today. He didn't come alone, he brought a little girl with him. It seems to be his second daughter. He took her to the Jia Mansion right after he arrived..."

After saying this, he walked into the house and saw "that girl" Lin Yuanxin standing there, looking at him in disbelief.

This, this is no different from being caught talking bad about someone behind their back...

It's really embarrassing...

Jiang Yi was just about to withdraw his foot when Lin Yuanxin called him in a trembling voice.

"You, don't leave yet. What did you mean by that just now?"

"me……"

Jiang Yi looked at his master for help, and found that he also had a pale face and was trembling all over, which made him even more uneasy.

Lin Qing hugged Lin Yuanxin tightly, comforted her for a few words, and then motioned Jiang Yi to come in first, saying, "If you have anything to say, talk inside."

Jiang Yi tiptoed in and felt uncomfortable under Lin Yuanxin's scorching gaze. He rubbed his arms and wanted to hide behind his master, but his master had no intention of protecting him. Instead, he looked at him and signaled him to confess everything.

Jiang Yi really had no temper with his master's ability to judge the situation and protect himself, so he could only accept his fate and start telling the truth.

"After you all left that day, Master was afraid that man would come back and cause trouble, so he sent me to follow him. I followed him all the way to the Jia Mansion."

Lin Yuanxin understood.

Dad must have gone to the Jia Mansion to cancel the engagement.

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed a distance away. I didn't hear what he said to the housekeeper, but I saw them pushing and shoving each other. Then five or six servants came out of the Jia Mansion, surrounded the man and beat him up. He was beaten so badly that his nose and face were swollen and bloody..."

Jiang Yi saw that Lin Yuanxin's face was full of tears. He realized that after she changed her clothes, she was like a completely different person. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which was so pitiful. His heart seemed to be tightened in an instant, and he quickly shut up.

Lin Yuanxin lay in Lin Qing's arms and sobbed. He couldn't describe the feeling, which was sour and bitter, but also vaguely relieved.

She didn't expect that her father would actually cancel the engagement, and she felt even more distressed that her father was beaten.

Jiang Yi, who has always been eloquent, didn't know whether he should continue speaking for a moment, and looked at his master blankly.

The master, however, had his eyes closed, resting, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"I'm fine, I can hold on. Brother Jiang, please continue. Didn't my father withdraw from the marriage?"

Seeing Lin Qing nodding at him, Jiang Yi thought to himself, how could this group of people be so nonchalant? Didn't they see that Miss Zhao'er was almost fainting from crying? What else could I say?!
