"Your Majesty is very appreciative of the Marquis's wife."

Eunuch Yang left behind such a profound sentence, and Deng Buduo invited him to discuss it in detail.

Qian Qiansui remembered the news he had received about Pingqiao Town in the past two days and ran to the kitchen to find Su Xin.

Ever since Su Xin became the head chef of Panshi Academy, all the teachers and students in the school not only rush to the cafeteria to eat every day, but also don’t want to go home even on holidays.

The kitchen was bustling with activity. The seat near the window with good ventilation was reserved for Su Xin. The rest were kitchen helpers and some cooks who had average cooking skills but were quiet and obedient.

I have to say that Dumbledore is worthy of being the leader of the Bilian Sect. He knows how to play with human hearts.

He knew very well the value of Su Xin, and also knew the malice of the world towards women, so if he wanted to keep Su Xin for a long time, he had to provide her with a good environment.

The kitchen is an important place. Dumbledore would rather spend more money to buy some of his own people who can decide life and death than put his life in the hands of others.

Qian Qiansui stood at the kitchen door, watching Su Xin pour the chicken soup into the pot and simmer it slowly. Next to him, Mr. Cao was holding a knife steadily and cutting radishes methodically.

"Hey, hey, hey, get out of the way, look, look what I caught! Oh my god, it's almost frozen, and I was able to catch such a big fish. Am I really amazing?"

The side door was pushed open, and Uncle Kong came in from the back door carrying a fish. When he saw Su Xin, he deliberately spoke loudly.

Su Xin turned around and said with a smile, "Give it to me, I'll make it for you."

"Who knows if he bought it?" Mr. Cao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Qian Qiansui couldn't help laughing out loud. It turned out that middle-aged idol dramas could also be pure love.

"Madam is here."

Su Xin took the fish from Grandpa Kong's hand, and when she saw Qian Qiansui coming outside, she knew that he must have something to ask her.

"Is it the Shi family..."

"The Shi family was defeated. The second daughter-in-law of the Shi family was sentenced to fifteen years, and the second eldest son of the Shi family was beheaded at the end of the month.

As for the restaurant you used to run, after it was sold to the government, all the money, except for the compensation for the victims, was sent over here."

Qian Qiansui originally wanted to ask the maid to come over and tell her, but she felt that this was too casual and not private enough. Su Xin was hired by her and was considered her employee, so she should at least show some humanistic consideration.

"Actually, I knew this day would come. Chang Siwu has come to him more than once. He went from being a victim of deception to a con man colluding with evildoers. He deserves to bear the consequences."

In her opinion, the grudge between Su Xin and the Shi family seemed to be a thing of the previous life. With the death of the second son of the Shi family, she completely bid farewell to the past.

"Don't think too much. There will always be regrets in this world."

"Yes, it's a pity, ma'am... In Pingqiao Town or the surrounding towns, there are too many bastards like Chang Siwu who cheat people out of money and ruin their families.

They often colluded with officials in the imperial court, lending money privately, and using gambling, deception, and threats to seize people's land, houses, and even children."

Su Xin sighed deeply and said, "We know it's unfair, but we can't do anything about it. We can only turn a blind eye."

Looking at Su Xin's melancholy back, Qian Qiansui suddenly felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

In her previous life, she was in debt because she was cheated. The interest kept piling up and she could not pay it off. She had no way to resist in her previous life and could only find a place to hide. So what about this life?

Am I going to be so cowardly in this life?

Being in a bad mood, and with Deng Buduo having guests, Qian Qiansui called Sang Biao and Wen Chun, brought Lai Shun and the family portrait, and carried Gou Zi into the carriage.

Probably seeing that she was in a bad mood, Sang Biao stopped finding fault and nestled beside her legs, purring affectionately.

Wen Chun silently poured her tea and added her favorite snacks.

The carriage that was bustling when it came became deserted as one person's mood changed. Qian Qiansui fell into the memories of his past life, and it seemed that he could not escape the vortex of lack of money in both of his lives.

"Meow? Sui Sui, if our carriage doesn't stop, we'll turn into a hedgehog soon."

Sang Biao subconsciously wanted to lick his paw, but when his hand was halfway in the air, he thought of Wen Chun and put it down in dissatisfaction.

Wen Chun pushed open the car door and climbed onto the roof. Looking from afar, he actually saw a group of men in black lying in ambush in the distant woods. These people were holding bows and arrows, ready to wait for the carriage to reach the range.

"Stop the car and change the route." Wen Chun said to the driver.

"But if we change the route, we will have to go behind the mountain. We may not be able to return to the Marquis' Mansion at night. We will have to stay in the town at the foot of the mountain for one night." There are only a few ways to go down the mountain. The main road is blocked, so we can only take the small road.

"There is an ambush ahead. If you don't change the route, you will never be able to return to the Marquis' Mansion." After saying that, he got off the roof of the car and got in.

Lai Shun has always been obedient, but he was also curious why the whole family didn't object this time.

Unexpectedly, when the whole family saw his expression, they said with disdain: "Can the rules of the Marquis' Mansion be more important than our lives? What are you looking at? Let's go."

Not to mention not coming home at night, don’t you see that he doesn’t care about his wife or the wild man?

The men in black soon noticed Qian Qiansui's carriage's change of route. They put down their bows and arrows, waited for their leader to wave his hand, and immediately led the horses in the forest to chase them on horseback.

They have failed twice. If they fail again this time, their lives may be in danger.

Lai Shun drove the carriage quickly on the path. Wen Chun didn't care about anything else. He held Qian Qiansui, who had come to his senses, in his arms and huddled in the corner of the carriage to steady his body.

Sang Biao was even more direct. He gripped the carriage board with his sharp claws, his body swayed up and down with the carriage, and he arched his body, waiting for someone to come and die.

"What just passed by?" Qian Qiansui's carriage rushed down the hillside, raising a cloud of dust that covered the faces of people on the roadside.

"Brother, it looks like a carriage."

The bandit leader who entrusted his son to the academy was not angry when he touched his face, but instead made up his mind inexplicably.

"Find someone to go back and raise money to buy the mountain next to Rock Mountain."

"Brother, we need to change the cottage."

"Why change to a new stronghold? Our leader has already found a proper job. Why are we still bandits? We need to cultivate the land, build houses, have men farm and women weave, store food and train!"

The bandit leader recognized Han Zhi, the commander of the imperial guards, at a glance today.

Back then, they were harmed by villains, and their commander resigned and gave up on himself. They couldn't return to the barracks, so they simply became bandits and became self-sufficient.

Now that the commander has suddenly cheered up and is able to teach his son, he has new hope in his heart.

"Recruit our men from all over the place and tell them that the commander is a martial arts instructor at the academy. We must let him take charge of the troops again, redress the injustice done to our brothers who were unjustly killed."

"Brother, there's another group of men in black coming up behind us. They look like the assassins hired by the powerful."

"What? Could it be that we've been discovered? Are the pursuers so fast?"

The bandit leader cursed loudly, stood up with his sword in hand, and shouted, "If they won't let us go, we won't let them go either. None of them will get away today!"
