Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

When He Cheng led the palace guards to Fuyou County, the huge group attracted the attention of the people and they whispered to each other.

He was riding a tall horse and saw that there were some neighbors he knew among them. His face, covered with a black scarf, couldn't help but look proud.

If it were not for the fact that the palace's shadow guards could not reveal their identities, he really wanted to return home in glory and let those who once looked down on him open their eyes and see who he is now.

But it's beyond their reach!

"Get these troublesome people out of here, or they'll tip off that cripple!"

As soon as He Cheng gave the order, several guards immediately dispersed the crowd and made way for the clinic.

"Hmph." Compared to this group of untouchables, he wanted to show off his power in front of Fu Zhun again to wipe out the shame of the past.

The clinic was located in the center of the city. The originally bustling crowd was driven away by the guards, and soon there was silence.

He Cheng stopped his horse in front of the clinic and shouted in a cold voice, "Prince of Zhenbei, His Majesty has an order. Come out and receive it immediately!"

However, the clinic was peaceful and quiet, with no response at all.

He Cheng frowned and raised his voice and shouted, "Prince Zhenbei, please do not disobey the emperor's will. This order concerns your guilt. Do you intend to disobey it?"

"..."

He Cheng's face turned ugly in an instant. He dismounted and walked forward, knocking on the door knocker hard, making a "bang bang" sound.

"Fu Zhun, do you think you can escape? I'm here today on the orders of His Majesty to question you. What's your intention in running away like this?"

Still no one answered, only the sound of the autumn wind blowing the fallen leaves seemed louder, as if mocking his futility.

"Messenger, what should we do? Should we force our way in?" the guard asked, shrinking his head.

"Hey, force your way in? He's probably just waiting for me to force my way in, and then he'll preemptively give me a name!" He Cheng narrowed his eyes sinisterly, turned his head and looked directly at the Su family shop next to him, "But..."

"He has a plan to get on the roof, and I have a ladder to get over the wall. If I capture his sweetheart, why worry that he won't show up to answer the call?"

He Cheng asked a few guards to stand guard nearby and strode towards the shop. When he reached the backyard wall, he confidently jumped over it.

In the backyard, Su An was walking out of the kitchen. She was wearing a light blue cloth skirt with some water stains on the hem. A few strands of hair fell delicately on both sides of her cheeks, full of beauty and agility.

Of course, if you ignore the basin of泔水 in her hand.

"What? Cheng?!"

As soon as he looked up, he bumped into He Cheng who was climbing over the wall. Su An's eyes widened instantly, and the disgust in his eyes was not concealed at all.

It was this outfit, this greasy and despicable feeling, she would never make a mistake!

Her stomach was churning with nausea. "Okay, what stinking ditch did you come from? You want to make trouble for me, right?"

He Cheng didn't expect that he could get it so easily and just bump into it.

Hearing this, he didn't take it seriously. He crossed his arms over his chest, and raised a smug and provocative smile on his lips, "Su An, you are still so sharp-tongued. You are completely different from my obedient and weak Xiao An. I was so confused that I didn't recognize you before."

"However, how long do you think you can be so arrogant? I have come here with His Majesty's order. If you know what's good for you and follow me obediently, you might be able to avoid suffering."

"Decree?" Su An laughed immediately. "Don't get me wrong, I'm a good citizen. I haven't broken any laws. Your Majesty's decree won't fall on me no matter what, right?"

If I guessed correctly, He Cheng must be going after Fu Zhun, and this time he wants to use himself as a hostage!

"I think you're just using that little bit of power as a token of authority to flaunt your power and boast. Don't you even realize what you are? You're just a gigolo here. If you dare to attack a commoner like me for no reason, I'll immediately report it to the authorities. Once the matter becomes a big deal, I'll see if the emperor will side with you!"

Su An cursed loudly, and seeing that He Cheng was shaking with anger and was about to retort, she threw the wooden basin in her hand at He Cheng without saying a word.

"Go to hell!"

A basin full of泔水 flew towards He Cheng like a cannonball.

"You--!" He Cheng had never expected her to suddenly attack. His eyes were bloodshot in an instant. He watched helplessly as the sour and smelly slop came towards him. He didn't even have time to dodge in that second.

The slop splashed all over his face, and a few wisps of rotten vegetable leaves with a sour smell rushed into the face towel and stuck to his cheeks and mouth corners.

He Cheng stood there in a daze for a moment. The pungent stench penetrated his nostrils, causing his stomach to cramp violently.

He subconsciously opened his mouth to roar, but a wet vegetable leaf slid into his mouth. The leaf was stained with slop and had a disgusting, rancid smell that spread across his tongue.

The acid in his stomach surged upwards in waves, his chest heaved violently, and he stared at Su An with bloodshot eyes, "Are you looking for death?!"

He suppressed his discomfort and pounced on Su An with a ferocious look on his face.

"An Yi! An Si!" Su An shouted out her trump card. If He Cheng could just retreat, she wouldn't want to cause any more trouble, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

However, He Cheng had already grabbed her arm with both hands, and Su An suddenly felt a sharp pain. The force was so great that it seemed to crush her bones.

Why haven't the two An brothers come yet?

He Cheng's face flushed red as he leaned closer. Veins popped out on his forehead, and the breath he exhaled carried the lingering stench of slop. He roared, "You ignorant bitch! How dare you humiliate me like this? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?!"

"If you don't cooperate and listen to me today, even if I kill you now, no one will know!"

Su An's face turned pale, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Isn’t the secret guard working in the shop? Why hasn’t he shown up despite such a big commotion?

This is totally inappropriate!

"Where did this bad guy come from!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of anxious running, and Su Jiang's medium-sized figure suddenly appeared. He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and with red eyes, he shouted and rushed towards He Cheng.

"You damned scoundrel, why don't you let my elder sister go!"

"Xiao Jiang! Don't come over!" Su An shouted in surprise, but Su Jiang didn't listen at all. He ran over and hit He Cheng's arm that was holding her with a stick.

As the severe pain hit him, He Cheng's ferocious expression instantly became even more distorted.

"You little bastard, you don't know what's good for you. I'm going to teach you a lesson first!"

He Cheng's eyes were blazing with fire. He let go of Su An's hand and instead grabbed Su Jiang's collar at an extremely fast speed. With a force, he lifted Su Jiang up high and wanted to throw him to the ground!
