Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Su Qianrou was very satisfied with his answer, because what he said was almost identical to what Li An had found out that morning, which meant that he was not lying. So she said, "You can let him come here to work as a carpenter."

The stall owner looked at her in surprise and asked incredulously, "Miss, is what you say true?"

"Just like you said, he has good talent and is a good person. Since that's the case, he shouldn't be overlooked. If he's willing, I don't mind."

"Thank you so much, miss, miss!" the stall owner said excitedly.

"Then I will hand over the management of Ronglin Hall to you two, father and son. In addition, I will give you 10% of the monthly income as your wages. What do you think?"

"One-tenth," the stall owner exclaimed in shock. "Miss, this is too much; we can't accept it."

"It doesn't matter. Whether it's a lot or a little depends on you. If you manage it well, you can save up money in the future and buy the shop back if you want."

“No, this shop has not been ours for ten years. We will never forget the great kindness you have shown us, Miss,” he said, kneeling down. “I, Sun Qian, am willing to serve you, my master, for the rest of my life.” He then kowtowed deeply.

Su Qianrou quickly helped him up, saying, "There's no need for that, get up quickly."

"From now on, Miss will be my master, no, she will be the master of our Sun family."

"What master or mistress? It's not that dramatic. Just take it in stride. Besides, I didn't do anything."

"If it weren't for Master, I estimate that I would have been stuck setting up a stall on the street for the rest of my life, and so would my son. Perhaps he would have spent his whole life in despair. It was Master who gave him hope to live on."

To be honest, Su Qianrou didn't think so much about it at first. She just thought his skills were good, so she wanted him to work at Ronglin Hall. She never expected that there was such a story behind him. After learning about it, she had the idea of ​​making him the manager. As it turns out, she didn't misjudge him, at least not yet.

At noon, Su Qianrou returned to the gate of the mansion and was about to go in when she heard someone call her, "Miss." She turned around and looked at the person, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What are you doing here? Is there something you need?"

The girl seemed unsure how to begin, so she remained silent for a long time.

So Su Qianrou said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now," and then turned to leave.

In a moment of urgency, the girl didn't think twice, reached out and grabbed her, urgently saying, "Something's wrong."

Su Qianrou didn't speak, she just looked at her, and saw her kneel down.

"Please, Miss, go see my grandfather," she pleaded, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

"Why do you want me to see your grandfather?"

"When Grandpa heard about what happened to me yesterday, he learned that it was Miss who saved me, so he wanted to see you."

"Just because of this?" Su Qianrou said, somewhat disbelieving.

The girl hurriedly explained, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. I don't mean to harm you. I... my name is Wang Yun, and I live in South Alley. My grandfather learned that you saved me, and he wanted to thank you in person. However, he is now seriously ill and cannot get out of bed, so he cannot come in person. Therefore, he asked me to invite you."

"It was just a small favor, so please don't worry about it, Grandpa... If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Miss, please wait a moment."

Su Qianrou looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

“I… I fear my grandfather will not live to see today. His last wish is to see you, Miss. Please, Miss, do me the favor and go see him. I will repay you in the future, even if it means working like a slave, I will have no regrets.”

Su Qianrou didn't understand why her grandfather insisted on seeing her, and couldn't help but feel curious, so she replied, "Okay, I'll go see him with you."

"Miss Xie, Miss Xie."

"Get up, don't kneel down so easily."

Wang Yun then got up.

Then, Su Qianrou followed her to a small and dilapidated house.

Upon entering the room, a strong smell of medicine filled the air, and on the bed lay an elderly man with a pale face and a thin body, who must have been her grandfather.

Sure enough, Wang Yun walked to his side and whispered, "Grandpa, the young lady who saved me yesterday has arrived."

Upon hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said with difficulty, "Help me up."

“But your health…” Wang Yun asked with a worried expression.

The old man firmly repeated, "Help me up."

Helpless, Wang Yun had no choice but to help him up.

Seeing this, Su Qianrou gave Chunzhu a look, signaling her to go forward and help.

Chunzhu understood and immediately stepped forward.

Soon, the old man sat down and leaned against the bedside.

"I'm so sorry, the place is simple and inconvenient for you, Miss."

"No... Did you call me for something?"

"Thank you for yesterday, Miss. If it weren't for you, my granddaughter would probably have been violated."

"You're too kind, sir. It was just a small favor."

"It was just a small favor for the young lady, but for us, it was a life-saving grace."

"The old man asked me to come, so it must be more than just to express his gratitude."

"Yes," the old man did not deny, and then asked, "Are you really Lord Su's daughter?"

"Yes".

"Lord Su is honest and upright, a truly good official who cares about the people, and Miss Su is able to help those in need, so she must also be a good person."

Su Qianrou did not respond, waiting for him to continue.

"Cough cough," the old man couldn't help but cough twice. Qi Yun hurriedly patted his back, his face full of worry, and couldn't help but call out, "Grandpa."

The old man gently patted her hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Then, the old man looked at Su Qianrou again and said, "My body is not strong enough, and I'm afraid I won't last much longer. Today, I'm going to shamelessly ask you for a favor, Miss. I wonder if you can grant my request?"

"Please speak."

“My granddaughter has been orphaned since she was a child and has had a very difficult life. If I were to leave, she would probably be bullied. Therefore, I would like to ask you to take her with you so that she can have a place to shelter from the rain.”

"You mean, make her my maid?"

"Yes, although she has an uncle, he... is determined to sell her for money. If it weren't for me, she might have been sold long ago. It's easy to know that after I die, my youngest son will definitely not let her go. Rather than letting her be sold to who-knows-where, it's better to let her go with the young lady, at least she will have no worries about food and clothing."

"Have you asked her if she's willing?"

So the old man looked at Wang Yun and asked her what she thought.

"I will listen to Grandpa."

The old man gently patted her hand, then looked at Su Qianrou and said, "I was originally a royal physician in the palace. Ten years ago, I retired and returned to my hometown, Yangzhou. Since then, she has been learning medicine from me. Now, her medical skills have far surpassed mine. It is a good thing that you have her by your side, Miss."

Upon entering, Su Qianrou noticed many herbs in the courtyard and had a guess about who it was. Little did she expect that it was actually the imperial physician.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Qianrou left the place and returned to her residence.
