Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

The woman's voice seemed to be muffled by someone, and only choked sobs could be heard, which sounded even more tearful in the dark prison.

Su An's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly fumbled to get up. "Peony?"

Most of the oil lamps in the prison would be extinguished after nightfall, but you could still see clearly under the moonlight.

At this moment, Mudan's cell door was wide open. A man was pressing her down on the bed and groping her. Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with tears, and she was struggling hard with her mouth covered.

Seeing Su An stand up, she immediately looked at him with tears in her eyes, asking for help.

Seeing that the man was about to tear Mudan's clothes, Su An couldn't help but get angry and stepped forward to slap the fence to make a noise.

"Xu Datong! You actually took advantage of the night to molest me! Stop it now!"

What a damn beast!

Good things were interrupted. Xu Datong looked up with a heavy breath, and glared at Su An anxiously and sinisterly, "Get out of here if you know what's good for you. Don't delay my good things, or I'll kill you first!"

"Woo woo, girl, please save me..."

Mudan burst into tears and trembled with fear, which made Xu Datong's eyes flash with evil fire, and he reached out his hand anxiously.

Su An clenched the fence in anger. This happened right under their noses, and their uncle and aunt couldn't tolerate it!

"Xu Datong, if you dare to do that again, I will report you to the county magistrate and have you charged with rape!"

"As an official, breaking the law knowingly is an even greater crime. I will chop off your head!"

She shouted in a cold voice, and actually frightened Xu Datong enough to stop.

But after realizing what was happening, he suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "Since you, little bitch, can't wait, I'll deal with you first. When you become my man, I'll see if you still have the nerve to tell others about this!"

After saying that, he casually shook off Mudan, took out the key from his waist, and walked towards Su An's cell with an evil smile.

"Girl, what should we do? It's all my fault..." Mudan looked at Su An anxiously with tears in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid."

Su An was so nervous that his heart was beating faster, but on the surface he appeared not afraid at all and walked forward coldly.

She raised her chin slightly and stared at Xu Datong expressionlessly, "The people above you are using me like this, which means I am also an important chess piece."

"If you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid that your big boss will blame you and kill you, a small pawn, too!"

"You!" Xu Datong, who was opening the prison door, suddenly looked extremely gloomy.

Su An sneered even more and said, "If you are not afraid, just touch me. At worst, I will escape from prison immediately. Even if my whole family is exiled, it is better than being defiled by a beast."

"I just don't know if you can stop me if I run away. How many heads do you have left to chop off?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward provocatively and offered to help open the door.

Xu Datong's eyelids twitched wildly and he was extremely angry, but he could only quickly pull back the key and step back, staring at Su An hatefully.

"You're smart enough to threaten me!"

Su An snorted contemptuously: "Thank you, thank you. My brain is definitely better than your brain full of shit and fart."

Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was also scolded so rudely and couldn't even move. Xu Datong almost fainted from anger.

He swallowed his breath with a twisted face, staring at Su An as if he were a dead person, "What a sharp-tongued man!"

"Then I'll wait and see how long you can be so arrogant!"

After watching Xu Datong finish his words, he left angrily.

It was not until the person disappeared that Su An's teeth trembled slightly, and he let out a long breath while enduring the weakness in his legs.

Phew…that was close!

Fortunately, she made the right bet, otherwise it would have been a very bad ending!

"Thank you for saving me, young lady."

Mudan suddenly fell to her knees, clutching her scattered clothes tightly, and sobbed to Su An with tears in her eyes.

Su An came back to his senses and saw her pale face and frail appearance, and his heart softened.

Just now, Xu Datong came over with a lustful and ferocious look on his face, and even he himself was frightened, let alone the humiliation suffered by Mudan.

She was originally wary of Mudan, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.

Her eyes softened a little, and she stepped forward to help Mudan up through the fence.

"It's just a small favor. Anyway, that jailer is against me. If I weren't trapped, I would definitely enforce justice and beat that bastard to death."

Mudan was stunned, and all she heard was a string of bullshit coming out of the mouth of this girl with bright eyes and white teeth.

After the trance, a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

"Even so, I have also fallen prey to the corrupt hands of this corrupt official. I am truly ashamed..."

She frowned, covered her face with her hands and sobbed in shame, her frail shoulders trembling slightly, and I felt sorry for her.

Su An couldn't help but feel pity in his eyes. He thought that Mudan must have been arrested for selling her art instead of her body. Unexpectedly, she was caught again.

Hey!

She gently stroked Mudan's shoulders and kept saying, "We're not wrong, don't cry. The three-legged toad was wrong. Fortunately, we didn't let it succeed. Don't take it to heart."

With her kind and gentle comfort, Mudan gradually stopped crying and finally came to her senses.

"Thank you for your comfort, young lady. If you don't mind me, how about we become friends?"

Mudan's eyes were filled with gratitude and expectation, which made Su An feel a little embarrassed.

But what I said, does not making friends with her mean that you despise her?

"Seeing what you said, I'm naturally happy to make friends with a beautiful woman like you." Su An smiled and blinked without thinking much.

The two continued to chat face to face, and before they knew it, Su An's wariness towards Mudan had disappeared.

At this time, the clinic.

The bleak evening wind blew into the house. Fu Zhun was sitting in a wheelchair by the window. His inky black eyes looked into the distance, and his breath was colder than the autumn wind.

"master."

Jian Yi's figure leaped down like a ghost and quickly reported: "There are some clues. Xu Datong is very likely someone recruited by the Shadow Guard."

"Shadow Guard..."

Fu Zhun whispered as he stroked the handrail, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Shadow Guards are the emperor's henchmen, and their organization is spread all over the people. They monitor the royal family, ministers and common people, and collect intelligence from all sides.

A sharp coldness gathered in his eyes, and he sneered, "The emperor is really capable of setting his sights on me."

Zhou Li, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but take two steps forward when he heard this.

His usual nonchalant look was gone, and a look of serious worry appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, I guess it was you who came back to the palace to ask for medicine last time that attracted the emperor's attention. I didn't expect him to be so shameless as to target these young bosses one after another."

The poor young boss was completely clueless and was hovering on the line between life and death without realizing it.

Zhou Li sighed deeply with a worried look on his face.

Fu Zhun's breathing became tight, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Just at this moment, the secret guard rushed back.

Unlike bodyguards, secret guards are wrapped in black, their faces are not visible, and they have received special training so they can come and go without a trace.

An Yi landed silently and knelt down immediately to report.

"Master, according to investigation, that Peony is the leader of the local Shadow Guards!"
