Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Hearing this cold female voice, He Cheng's eyes suddenly widened and his body trembled violently faster than his reaction.

"S-Su An?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su An, wearing prison uniform and with disheveled hair, climbed in through the window like a ghost.

The loose prison uniform she was wearing was tattered and covered with whip marks and blood stains, showing that she had been severely tortured.

At this time, there were still a few drops of blood on her withered and pale face, filled with sinister hatred, and she was approaching step by step with a butcher knife in her hand, covered in blood.

"You didn't expect that, He Cheng? I've escaped from prison. I'll die in that dark prison anyway. I'll die with you tonight!"

Prison escape?!

"Mad woman, you mad woman!" He Cheng was instantly frightened out of his wits, his eyes filled with fear, and he tried desperately to retreat.

But now, he was so badly injured that he could hardly even turn over. He could only scream in fear, "Someone come! Someone come quickly——"

Bang!

"Scream, no one can save you even if your throat is broken!" Su An swung the butcher knife, barely glancing at his neck and chopped it onto the bed, with a miserable sneer on his face.

"He Cheng, He Cheng, I treated you with all my heart before, but you used sweet words to deceive me and almost broke my family!"

"I finally managed to build a successful business, and you kept pestering me, even using anesthetics on me! I just beat you up in retaliation, but you were so heartless as to send me to jail!"

"Why on earth!"

Hearing Su An's question, He Cheng was horrified and furious at the same time. He glared at her and yelled, "How dare you bring that up, you bitch!"

"I only asked you for ten taels of silver back then, but you! Now that I've become successful and famous, you're asking for that silver like it's your life. You're just trying to repay me and become a government official's wife as soon as possible! You think you're so noble!"

"Oh! I disdain to pay any attention to you, yet you go around ruining my reputation, hindering my future, and leaving me with nothing! And yet, you step on me to get your business, and you're so proud of yourself that you shut me out!"

When talking about the past, the more He Cheng spoke, the more distorted and resentful his face became, as if the Su An in front of him was not his former lover, but his sworn enemy.

Su An shook her body in disbelief, looking at him with great pain, "Just because of this, you want to drug me and kidnap me?!"

"Who told you to be so ungrateful? You forced me to do this!" He Cheng shouted at the top of his lungs, and it seemed that the louder his voice, the more confident he became.

"I warned you long ago! If you had just been smart and transferred the shop to me, I wouldn't have attacked you! Now we're both hurt, and I only regret not having taken the ten taels and killed you!"

Looking at He Cheng's resentful expression, Su An couldn't help it anymore and slapped him hard with trembling hands.

"Scumbag! Calling you a scumbag is flattering you. You are a completely despicable, shameless, and filthy bitch!"

Su An was so angry that his breathing was trembling, but he was not angry for himself, but because he felt deeply sad and worthless for the original owner.

When Su Dabao came to collect the debt, the original owner had no choice but to send him a letter to urge him to pay. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the man she loved deeply, she was seen as someone trying to repay a favor and climb up the social ladder!

This slap completely enraged He Cheng. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he started cursing.

"What are you so proud of, you bitch? If that cripple hadn't been there, I would have thrown you into a beggar's den and let you taste the feeling of being spitted on and cursed by thousands of people! You're a shameless slut who flirts with other men!"

Su An looked coldly at He Cheng, who was cursing and yelling, and ignored him. He just clapped his hands and said, "Come in!"

"what?"

He Cheng gasped and was stunned.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened, and the leading county magistrate and a group of patrol fishermen jumped in, and soon the hut was filled with people.

"County Magistrate?! How could you—"

Lin Yong looked at He Cheng, who was in shock, his eyes surging with anger. He shouted, "He Cheng, I heard everything you just confessed to from outside. You have no right to deny it this time!"

"Come here, take the criminal He Cheng to jail immediately and deal with him at a later date!"

"No! Impossible!"

He Cheng was horrified, and when he reacted, his scarlet eyes instantly glared at Su An, "Bitch, how dare you plot against me!"

"I'll kill you! Aaaaah!"

His eyes were bloodshot, but no matter how he howled, he could only make a fuss and could not move an inch.

Soon, he was knocked unconscious by a policeman with a knife and carried away.

Looking at this scene, Su An relaxed his brows slightly and felt a lot more relieved.

In this way, the original owner can vent his anger and settle a grudge.

As for the rest, it is to settle the family!

The next day.

Su An slipped back home in the afternoon. It was the time when the shop was busy and only a few customers came by occasionally. Zhang San and others were in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes.

Yes, it is still thriving.

Su An smiled with satisfaction, without disturbing others, and slipped to the backyard to find Li Guihua first.

"Xiao An?"

Seeing Su An, Li Guihua thought she was seeing things, and immediately put down the account book in surprise: "The county magistrate let you go?!"

Su An blinked briskly, "Mom, He Cheng was arrested last night. I cleared my name, and the county magistrate had no choice but to let me go."

"We'll just have to wait a few days for He Cheng's verdict to come out, and then we'll put out a notice."

Li Guihua's eyes became moist again, and she stroked her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What a worrying girl! I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

Su An's heart twitched, but she didn't come back to feel sad. Thinking of important matters, she excitedly pulled Li Guihua into her room and took out the jar buried under the bed.

"Mom, this is my hidden money. It's almost full. Please help me count it."

As Li Guihua stared in amazement, Su An smashed the large clay pot, and a pile of silver flowed out.

"This, so much?"

Li Guihua was confused, but Su An urged her to count the silver together.

It took half an incense stick of time to calculate, and the final count was actually one thousand five hundred and seventy-two taels!

Li Guihua was shocked again. Su An packed up the silver and stuffed it into her arms with a smile, "Mom, these are the extra money I saved privately. I didn't count it as income, but I just wanted to save it up to give to you as a filial gift. Please accept it all."

Something is wrong!

But Li Guihua couldn't tell what was wrong. Just looking at her daughter's bright smile, her heart was inexplicably lifted up, and she hurriedly held Su An's hands.

"Xiao An, tell me the truth, is there really something wrong?"

Su An couldn't help but think, is this the connection between mother and daughter? It's so sensitive.

But she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled puzzledly and said, "I originally wanted to save this money to honor my mother during this period. Who knew that after this incident, I was a little scared. So I wanted to give this surprise to my mother as soon as possible. It's not a big deal!"

Su An patted his butt and stood up, pretending to stretch. "I finally got out. I want to go out for a walk. I'll accompany my mother later! Let's go!"

Next, it’s time to find a school for the third child!
