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

Su Banxia walked to the village entrance and got on the oxcart first. She took out two coins from her pocket and gave them to Uncle Niu. Seeing this, Su Tao followed suit.

"Oh, you still have money to ride in an oxcart? Pay for mine too!"

Su Banxia looked at Su Tao as if she were an idiot.

"Are you out of your mind? Why are you taking an oxcart if you don't have money? Get off now and don't waste our time!"

Su Tao panicked when Su Banxia spoke to her like that. She immediately pulled out her last two coins from her pocket, handed them to Uncle Niu, and tilted her head back disdainfully, saying:

"Who said I don't have money for the bus fare!"

Uncle Niu chuckled as he took the coin and called out:

"Let's go!"

Su Banxia hadn't woken up properly that morning, so she had no time to pay attention to Su Tao and simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Seeing that Su Banxia had no intention of talking to her, Su Tao muttered disdainfully:

"What's so great about it? Humph!"

When the oxcart arrived at the city gate, Su Banxia got off immediately. She didn't want Su Tao to know why she had come to the city today. Otherwise, if word got out about exchanging silver, the second branch of the family would definitely be in turmoil again.

Su Tao didn't care where Su Banxia got off; she was going to Muxiangzhai anyway, so she said to Uncle Niu:

"Uncle Niu, can you take me to Muxiangzhai?"

Uncle Niu nodded.

“Alright, it’s only a few steps away. I’ll take you there, and then you can go to the city gate to solicit customers.”

Upon hearing this, Su Tao quickly smiled and thanked her:

"Thank you very much, Uncle Niu."

Soon, Uncle Niu dropped Su Tao off at the entrance of Muxiangzhai. As soon as Su Tao got out of the car, she saw Zhang Feng greeting customers inside the shop. She was too embarrassed to go up to him, so she just peeked out from the door and watched Zhang Feng do his work.

The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became, and her liking for Zhang Feng grew even stronger.

After the guests finally left, Su Tao was about to go in to find Zhang Feng when she saw a beautiful woman dart out from the back room. She ran up to Zhang Feng, grabbed his arm, and said in a sweet voice:

"Brother Zhang Feng, try the sesame seed cakes I just made for lunch today, aren't they delicious?"

Zhang Feng didn't refuse; being fed like this seemed to be a common occurrence for him. He simply opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Mmm, delicious! Qing'er's cooking is amazing!"

Standing at the doorway, Su Tao stared blankly at the couple before her, who looked like a married couple. She never imagined that Zhang Feng, who seemed so honest on the surface, would have done the same despicable thing as her father.

If Zhang Feng truly liked this woman, why would he go on a blind date with her? Su Tao was first shocked, then furious. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling like she had been completely played.

"Zhang Feng! What are you doing!"

Su Tao stood directly at the entrance of Muxiangzhai and shouted inside.

Seeing this, the people from Muxiangzhai also peeked out to watch the commotion. Zhang Feng, who was eating a sesame seed cake, was startled when he heard Su Tao's shout, and dropped the calligraphy brush in his hand.

Seeing this, Qing'er, looking displeased, spoke up:

"Brother Zhang Feng, where did this shrew come from? Do you know her?"

Zhang Feng's face stiffened. He didn't care about eating the sesame seed cake anymore and rushed out, looking at Su Tao with a nervous expression.

"Su Tao, what brings you here?"

Su Tao snorted coldly and clenched the food box in her hand.

"If I hadn't come, would I have been able to see this good show?"

Zhang Feng glanced back at Qing'er, then took Su Tao's hand and explained:

"Su Tao, don't misunderstand. Qing'er is my junior sister. There's nothing between us. We've known each other since we were little, and I've always treated her like my own sister."

Seeing this, Qing'er hurriedly came out of the house, frowned, looked at Zhang Feng holding Su Tao's hand, and said:

"Is this the girl your mother arranged for you to meet a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Su Tao became even angrier. Qing'er knew about her affairs, but she didn't know about Qing'er's. She also didn't know how Zhang Feng had spoken to Qing'er about her. Thinking this, Su Tao coldly said:

"They don't look like siblings to me. When she was feeding you just now, she pressed her whole body against you. Didn't you feel it, or were you just reluctant to refuse?"

Zhang Feng said urgently:

"No, I was in a hurry to get to work and didn't pay attention to that much. Su Tao, don't be angry. I didn't think this through. I apologize."

Upon hearing this, Qing'er pulled on Zhang Feng's arm with a displeased expression.

"Brother Zhang Feng, you didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing? People with dirty hearts see everything as dirty!"

As she spoke, Qing'er couldn't help but roll her eyes at Su Tao.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng quickly pulled his arm away, frowned, and looked at Qing'er, saying:

"Qing'er, what are you saying? Su Tao will be your sister-in-law in the future. If you have nothing to do, go inside quickly and stop causing trouble here!"

After saying that, Zhang Feng turned to look at Su Tao with an embarrassed smile.

"Su Tao, don't be angry. Qing'er is young and has been spoiled by my master. She doesn't know how to speak properly. Just treat her like your own sister and don't take it to heart."

Su Tao snorted coldly upon hearing this and said:

“I have plenty of younger sisters at home, I wouldn’t dare take a sister who’s a vixen.”

Upon hearing this, Qing'er blushed instantly, jumped up, pointed at Su Tao, and shouted:

"You shrew, what are you saying? Who are you calling a vixen? I think you're the vixen! You're the one who stole Zhang Feng away! Zhang Feng and I have been friends since childhood. What makes you think you can compare to me!"

As soon as Qing'er finished speaking, a steady voice rang out from inside the Muxiangzhai.

"Liu Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Come back inside right now, don't embarrass yourself outside!"

Zhang Feng turned around and saw his master standing at the door, looking at him and Qing'er with a gloomy expression. He immediately spoke nervously:

"Master, you, why are you out here? It's alright. Qing'er and my fiancée had a misunderstanding, but I can handle it."

Master Liu glanced at Su Tao standing outside, then nodded to Zhang Feng and pulled the reluctant Qing'er into the house.

Su Tao sneered.

"Misunderstanding? I think I came at the wrong time. Since you already have such a childhood sweetheart, why bother with this blind date? You're just making a fool of me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Feng quickly stepped forward and explained:

"No, Su Tao, please let me explain. I really didn't mean that. There's really nothing between Qing'er and me. Please don't misunderstand."

The thought of her own father protecting Ayu, coupled with Zhang Feng's intimate actions with Liu Qing'er, made Su Tao feel utterly disgusted. She wondered what kind of luck she had, why she kept running into all sorts of unpleasant things lately.

Thinking of what her mother had gone through last night, she gritted her teeth and said to Zhang Feng:

"Zhang Feng, there's no childhood friendship between us, so I have no reason to stop you from being intimate with that Qing'er. Let's call off our marriage here!"

After saying that, Su Tao flicked her sleeves and ran away crying.
