Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Qiao Yujie didn't understand why 002 was so anxious. Xiong Bufan was just going along to solve a case; nothing dangerous would happen to him. Besides, Xiong Bufan wasn't stupid; he would run away if he encountered danger. She tried to comfort him, saying, "Brother Ming, Bufan will be fine. She went along to solve a case; she wasn't arrested. Don't worry, she'll be back before dinner."

002 was still wandering around the shop: "Manager Qiao, you don't understand. Although Bufan has high combat power, she rarely uses her brain when she does things, ah!"

Xiong Bufan slapped 002 to the ground. As soon as she came back, she heard 002 talking badly about her. He really spoiled her.

Kongkong thought to himself: You didn't hear a word of what I said about you. But 002 is really unlucky.

002 got up and saw Xiong Bufan return. Regardless of the pain, she happily said, "Bufan, it's so good that you're alright."

Did they give you any trouble?

"They wouldn't dare!" Xiong Bufan had never met anyone who dared to make things difficult for him.

Kongkong: That's right, you beat up all the people who were making things difficult for you.

As evening approached, a lead had been found in the case, and Su Beichen decided to put the case aside for a while to prepare evidence to present to the Emperor. For some reason, fearing he would miss dinner, Xiong Bufan returned to the rouge shop first.

Xiong Bufan: "I'm hungry, I want to go home for dinner."

002: "Okay, let's go home for dinner. I'll make you braised pork knuckle. Manager Qiao, would you like to join us?"

Qiao Yujie: "No, you guys go back first."

"it is good."

Xiong Bufan and 002 left together. Qiao Yujie tidied up and continued to look at the account books in the shop. The shop's income had been good for the past two months, but A Niu had become increasingly busy since regaining his memory, and he was often nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Yujie knew she shouldn't pick up men on the street, but as a modern person, she couldn't bear to see someone die, especially since saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.

002 and Xiong Bufan strolled leisurely along the road, the setting sun casting long shadows of the two. 002 said, "Bufan, you shouldn't be assisting the Dali Temple in handling cases anymore."

Xiong Bufan: "Why? Why not make money if you can?"

002 To make a long story short: "This matter involves the taking of the younger sister, which is not something we ordinary people can get involved in. Our former brothers have also found new masters."

The brothers from before? Xiong Bufan didn't remember the original owner having any brothers or sisters. "Who were the brothers from before?"

"The Third Prince's secret guards, in short, we should meddle in this matter as little as possible."

Xiong Bufan: "Oh, I don't care."

002 was delighted to hear that Xiong Bufan didn't care, "That's great, we'll buy some braised food on the way back to eat later."

"Buy more."

"kindness"

Kongkong: "Bufan, are you really going to promise 002 that you won't get involved in the Dali Temple's affairs?"

"No, I just said I don't care about the secret guards, not about the Dali Temple. That's a fallacy."

"Ok."

Poor 002 had no idea that Xiong Bufan had tricked her, and was still enjoying the happiness of Xiong Bufan's promise.

As usual, Xiong Bufan came to the rouge shop. With the Lunar New Year approaching, there were more people in the shop than usual, and the demand for rouge had increased. Xiong Bufan needed to purchase enough raw materials before the New Year so that Qiao Yujie could continue to develop new types of rouge and do business after the New Year.

With nothing much going on at the security company, 002 started shopping for New Year's goods on the street. This was their first New Year since gaining freedom, and they needed to commemorate it properly.

The people on the street were all in high spirits, and 002 was infected by this atmosphere and unconsciously immersed in it as well.

For the first time, 002 properly celebrated the New Year. They bought some cloth, as well as some grain and meat. Although Xiong Bufan could finish his meal in a day, buying these saved them the trouble of going out to buy groceries. For the New Year, they also needed to put up window decorations and couplets, which the old gentleman had to write carefully. Money was not a problem.

Carrying large and small bags, 002 remembered that Xiong Bufan's head always seemed to be empty. Weighing the silver in her hand, 002 put the things down and went into Fangfei Pavilion, intending to buy some jewelry for Xiong Bufan. New Year, new beginnings, it's time to buy some new jewelry.

Fangfei Pavilion has nice hairpins and hair ornaments, and the hair ornaments are quite exquisite. They also have clear price categories. Noble ladies go to the second floor, while ordinary people go to the first floor, covering two classes of customers. Many noble ladies like to choose jewelry on the second floor, while ordinary people have to pay a lot of money to go to the second floor.

002 was stunned by the jewelry on the first floor of Fangfei Pavilion. There were all kinds of hairpins, silk flowers and hair ornaments. The maid was introducing the jewelry to him. "Sir, are you buying jewelry for your wife? Your wife is so lucky."

002 blushed and said, "This is for my fiancée. Please choose the most popular one for me."

……

The maid was shrewd in business. She chose a light blue silk flower and a silver hairpin for 002. The silver hairpin was carved with exquisite patterns. After 002 gave her the silver, she stuffed the two pieces of jewelry into her bosom. As was her habit, she looked up and saw Ah Niu dressed in silk and leading a wealthy young lady downstairs.

That wealthy young lady seems to be Lin Lan, the eldest daughter of Minister Lin. 002 saw her portrait when he was a bodyguard.

After confirming, 002 quickly pulled her head back and lowered it. This Manager Qiao was really unlucky. She had finally saved someone and was raising him as her fiancé, but the person turned around and hooked up with a noble lady. Manager Qiao was still completely unaware and waiting for him to come home.

Ah Niu didn't notice 002 buying jewelry when he went downstairs. He was completely focused on Lin Lan and even affectionately put a hairpin in her hair. Lin Lan looked shy and bashful.

In this dynasty, the social customs are open, and it is not uncommon for men and women to travel together. However, apart from unmarried couples, it is rare for people to be intimate in public. Women have to consider their family's reputation and save face, fearing that it will affect their future marriage prospects, and the same goes for men.

Ah Niu and Lin Lan moved quickly. 002 pretended to be selecting jewelry, and only after they left did she slowly look up and turn to ask the maid, "Miss, who were those two people who came downstairs just now?"

"That young master is a newly promoted nobleman in the capital, and the young lady is the daughter of Minister Lin."

002 bowed and said, "Thank you. I'll take my leave now."

After leaving Fangfei Pavilion, 002 hurried back with her belongings. After putting them down, she settled down at home to cook dinner and wait for Xiong Bufan to come back. She wouldn't interfere with Manager Qiao's affairs. Ah Niu's identity was definitely not that of an ordinary nobleman. 002 didn't want to ruin the peaceful life she had finally achieved.

002 won't hurt Xiong Bufan, because he's afraid Xiong Bufan will cripple him.

Xiong Bufan returned early today, accompanied by a weeping Qiao Zhanggui. 002's heart skipped a beat; could it be that Qiao Zhanggui knew about A Niu's situation?

After the two returned to the house, Xiong Bufan closed the door. 002 retreated quickly, otherwise she would have bumped her nose directly. However, he didn't dwell on it and went to cook.

Qiao Yujie tried to hug Xiong Bufan, but was pushed away. "Bufan, all men are heartless. He's completely disrespectful to me. If the customer hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known he was living such a carefree life outside!"

After pondering for a moment, Xiong Bufan said, "An arm costs ten taels of silver, a leg costs fifteen taels of silver, a finger costs one tael of silver, and toes are worthless. Which one do you want? I can bring it back for you."

Qiao Yujie: "?"

Xiong Bufan explained, "You can hire me to bring him back; the fee is very low."

Currently, a decent female slave costs five taels of silver, and a male slave costs ten taels of silver. Ah Niu alone is worth sixty taels of silver, so Xiong Bufan is essentially raising prices arbitrarily.

Qiao Yujie said with a wry smile, "Bufan, don't joke around. Human trafficking is illegal."

Xiong Bufan counted on his fingers and said, "You can't afford it! I can give you a discount. Bring the person back to me at a discount, and I'll only charge you seventy taels of silver."

The price has increased by another ten taels of silver. Qiao Yujie said, "Bufan, stop messing around. Let me have some peace and quiet."

Xiong Bufan said seriously, "Who is Jingjing? Give me the money, and I can bring her back to you."

Qiao Yujie couldn't beat Xiong Bufan, so she took out a piece of silver from her purse and gave it to him, saying, "Don't stay here, take this and buy some candied hawthorns."

"Are you sure you don't need me to bring Ah Niu back? All you need is one hundred taels of silver."

Qiao Yujie: "Get out." After saying that, she was probably too angry and threw the purse out again.

Xiong Bufan quickly picked up the purse and ran out of the house. "Okay."
