I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Hearing Cuihua's words, Lianhua felt incredibly happy. She took Su Shiyan's hand, glanced at him shyly, and said:

"Cuihua, you'll be able to find a good husband someday."

Cuihua gave a wry smile and shook her head helplessly.

"Who would marry someone like me? Nobody would like me. My parents don't love me. I'm a burden to everyone..."

Seeing Cuihua like this, Lianhua felt a little sad, so she quickly let go of Su Shiyan's hand, patted Cuihua's shoulder to comfort her:

"Cuihua, don't be afraid. I will help you with your marriage in the future and I will definitely find you a good husband."

Upon hearing Lianhua's words, Cuihua's eyes lit up instantly, but quickly dimmed again.

"It's no use, Sister Lotus. I knew the restaurant owner wouldn't let me leave. You have no idea how they tortured me..."

Lotus smiled.

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is very capable. If she wants to help you, she can definitely redeem your indenture."

Su Shiyan, who was standing to the side, also couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't worry about my sister, Cuihua. You two watch the stall here while I go to the restaurant to see how the negotiations are going."

After saying that, Su Shiyan turned around and headed towards the restaurant.

At this moment, Su Banxia and Lou Wangyue were already seated in the private room and meeting the restaurant owner.

"Oh dear, what wind blew you here?"

Seeing this, the innkeeper quickly poured Lou Wangyue a cup of tea and sat down beside him with a smile to serve him.

Lou Wangyue did not accept the tea; she merely glanced at him indifferently.

"I've come here today for no other reason than to ask you for a woman."

Upon hearing Lou Wangyue's words, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before speaking with some difficulty:

"Young Master Lou, haven't you always been averse to women? How did that young girl, who hasn't even fully grown up, catch your eye? Let me tell you the truth, that girl's health isn't good. Why don't you find someone else?"

Lou Wangyue's face darkened.

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to buy her freedom. Name your price."

Seeing Lou Wangyue's resolute expression, the shopkeeper, though puzzled, dared not ask further, and stammered:

"That little girl isn't worth much money. If you really like her, then I'll give her to you. I just want to make friends with you."

"Hmph, I wouldn't dare accept such a big favor from you. It's not like I can't afford the money. Just tell me how much you're willing to sell it to me."

Seeing Lou Wangyue's disdain, the shopkeeper reluctantly spoke up:

"I only spent two taels of silver to buy her. If you really feel bad about it, give me two taels of silver and take her away."

At this moment, Su Banxia spoke up:

"Since that's the case, we won't let you suffer a loss. I'll give you three taels of silver, and you give me her indenture. Then we'll be even."

Su Banxia wasn't some rich fool deliberately inflating the shopkeeper's prices; it was just that this matter had gone so smoothly because she was using Lou Wangyue's name.

If you are still ungrateful and try to take advantage of others, you will have to pay the price to Lou Wangyue later. This debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay. It is better to spend an extra tael of silver to buy it yourself. It will sound better to others in the future.

That's why Su Banxia took the initiative to ask for an extra tael of silver.

The shopkeeper was clearly surprised that Su Banxia would offer a price, but when he turned and met Liu Wangyue's determined gaze, he didn't dare say anything more. He could only go inside and find the indenture. Su Banxia took out three taels of silver from her purse and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Then we're even. I hope you won't cause any more trouble for that girl."

The shopkeeper took the silver and said with a smile:

"No, no, this girl is now Young Master Lou's woman, who would dare to cause her any trouble?"

Lou Wangyue frowned slightly upon hearing the shopkeeper's words and said in a deep voice:

"Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with her, and she is not one of my people."

After saying that, Wang Yue got up and left. Su Banxia quickly picked up the indenture and followed him out of the restaurant.

At this moment, Su Shiyan was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing Su Banxia and the others come out, he hurriedly went up to them and asked:

"Sister, is everything settled?"

Su Banxia handed the indenture to Su Shiyan with a smile:

"Thanks to Young Master Lou, I was able to buy back her indenture for three taels of silver, which will fulfill my sister-in-law's wish."

Su Shiyan took the contract of sale and examined it, then happily said to Lou Wangyue:

"Young Master Lou, thank you so much for today. If you hadn't been there, they would never have let it go so easily."

Lou Wangyue smiled and waved.

"It's alright, it's good that the matter is resolved. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Take care on your way back to the village."

Su Banxia nodded.

"Okay, take care on your journey. Thank you for your help today."

Lou Wangyue smiled.

"There's no trouble at all when it comes to doing things for you."

Having said that, he turned and headed towards his own carriage.

At this moment, Jixiang had already rushed over with the guards from the manor. Seeing that there was no one fighting in the street anymore, and looking up to see that his master's carriage had also driven far away, he shook his head helplessly and turned to instruct the guards who had followed him:

"You can all go back now, there's nothing for you to do."

Having said that, she quickly ran to catch up with Lou Wangyue's carriage...

Su Banxia and Su Shiyan returned to the stall and handed the indenture to Cuihua, saying:

"Keep this indenture safe. We're going home. My sister-in-law's idea is to let you come back with us for a few days. If you don't have anywhere to stay, you can come with us."

Upon hearing this, Cuihua excitedly accepted her indenture, then turned to Lianhua and buried her face in her arms.

"Sister Lianhua, you really saved me! Thank you so much! I'll go with you, I'll go home with you."

Lotus smiled and patted Cuihua's back.

"Alright, alright, there are so many people on the street. What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling like that? Do you think we're still kids? You should thank my older sister for this. I would never have been able to do this without her."

Upon hearing this, Cuihua quickly got out of Lianhua's arms, turned to look at Su Banxia, ​​and smiled at her.

"Thank you."

Su Banxia realized that her thank you wasn't sincere, so she didn't bother arguing with her and simply waved her hand before packing up her stall.

When everyone returned to the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain, Wang Guihua had already prepared the meal. Just as she was about to call everyone to eat, she looked up and saw Cuihua standing timidly beside Lianhua. She asked in confusion:

"Lotus, who is this girl?"
