A transmigrated woman ruined my whole family; I was reborn, seized a spatial ability, and had a full

After everyone left, Third Aunt pulled Su Li aside and said earnestly:

“Girl, in the end, this business is all about managing interpersonal relationships. You see, at the dock, we win people’s hearts by serving them hot water and treating them with hospitality. Back in the village, we still have to take care of those relationships.”

"We've already perfected the taste of our food; what matters in the future is winning people's hearts."

"It's inevitable that the villagers will be jealous of our business, so we need to be even more careful about our relationship with them, after all, our roots are here..."

Su Li nodded, engraving her aunt's words into her heart.

Before long, the day arrived for my third aunt's family to return to the prefectural city.

Su Li was filled with reluctance and accompanied her third aunt all the way to the village entrance.

The old locust tree at the village entrance swayed gently in the breeze. Third Aunt stopped, turned back to look at Su Li, her eyes filled with affection, and waved while smiling and giving her instructions.

"Don't bother, don't bother. You still have things to do at the shop. This is enough."

Su Li's eyes reddened slightly, and she nodded silently. She stood there, watching her aunt and her group walk away until their figures disappeared around the corner at the village entrance.

Su Li sighed softly and was just about to turn around and go back to the village when suddenly her nose bumped into something hard. She cried out in pain and took a few steps back, quickly covering her nose with her hand.

When she looked up in pain, she discovered that the person who had come was Pei Xiao, who hadn't shown up for a long time.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his moon-white robe swaying gently in the wind, his handsome face showing a hint of haggardness, the look one would expect after recovering from a serious illness.

Although he had recovered most of his health, his face was still somewhat pale, and he walked with a slightly unsteady gait.

Su Li stared at Pei Xiao's dazed yet slightly nervous expression, momentarily lost in thought. Her initial low spirits due to the separation inexplicably turned into amusement.

When Su Li saw him, she was filled with doubt, having no idea why he had come here.

She had always known that Pei Xiao harbored many secrets that were far beyond the reach of ordinary people like her.

Therefore, Su Li always carefully chose to keep her distance from him.

Pei Xiao stepped forward and said with a hint of apology:

"I apologize for my poor performance in handling the matter you asked me to do last time. However, I have thoroughly investigated the Tang family's affairs. The current situation is somewhat troublesome. Nowadays, Master Tang has no interest in managing the affairs of the mansion, and everything inside and outside the mansion is controlled by the steward and his concubines."

"If that young master of the Tang family wants to return to the manor, it will probably take a lot of trouble."

After speaking, Pei Xiao did not say anything more, but simply stared at Su Li quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry.

Now, feelings have quietly blossomed between Su Li's good friend, the Peach Blossom Girl, and the Tang family's young master. But why is Su Li so prescient, making her keep an eye out for any down-on-their-luck scholars who have wandered here?

Could it be... that she had foreseen this situation all along?

Su Li paused slightly, her gaze turning to Pei Xiao with a complex expression. "Thank you for your concern. I will be careful. You should go back and rest as soon as possible. I should go back too."

She showed absolutely no intention of revealing anything...

Pei Xiao paused slightly, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the dilapidated temple became quiet and eerie.

A few rays of light struggled to penetrate the gaps in the broken tiles, casting a faint glow.

Su Li was extremely anxious and hurriedly stepped into the temple. She immediately spotted Peach Blossom and Young Master Tang nestled in a corner.

"Li, Li'er, why are you here..." Peach Blossom's cheeks were flushed, her eyes darted away, she dared not look directly at Su Li, and her fingers nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Although Young Master Tang was thin and injured, his gaze towards the peach blossoms was full of tenderness and affection, with a hint of intoxication.

Su Li was startled, having already guessed some of what was going on.

In her past life, she only knew that Young Master Tang had gone home to report the news but had not returned, causing Peach Blossom to wait in vain. She thought he was a scumbag who would start a relationship and then abandon it. But now, it seems that there is another hidden story.

Most importantly, this is a private matter between Peach Blossom and Young Master Tang. No matter how worried I am, I cannot forcibly separate the two of them.

All she had to do was lay the facts out in front of them and let them decide for themselves.

She frowned, walked straight to Young Master Tang, and spoke with a solemn expression.

“Young Master Tang, I know that you and Peach Blossom have a deep bond, but the current situation of your Tang family is truly worrying. The steward and the concubine hold power in the mansion. If you truly care about Peach Blossom, it would be best to stay away for the time being, lest you implicate her.”

Young Master Tang sat up slightly, ignoring the pain from his wound, and tightly grasped Tao Hua's hand, looking at Su Li with unwavering determination.

“Miss Su Li, I would never abandon Peach Blossom! I am grateful for her rescue, and now…”

He paused, gazing affectionately at Peach Blossom, who lowered her head shyly. "Now that I have consummated my marriage with her, I must take full responsibility for her."

Su Li sighed inwardly, just as she had expected.

She shook her head helplessly and stopped insisting. "Fine, if that's the case, there are some things you should know, especially Peach Blossom."

As she spoke, she sat down on a stone bench on the other side and began to recount her story, “I went to Yun County a few days ago, intending to help you find out what was going on, but I almost lost my life.”

Su Li raised her head, her eyes still filled with lingering fear.

"Your steward in the Tang family looks kind, but he's actually a compulsive gambler. He's probably gambled away a lot of the family's money. And that Aunt Liu, she appears gentle and kind, but she's extremely ruthless behind the scenes. No one has come to the Tang family to look for you for so long. It's possible that one of them is behind it. Young Master Tang, I think you must know the reason."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Tang was struck dumb, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, his voice trembling as he murmured.

“Miss Su Li, Aunt Liu and Uncle Zhong… are not those kinds of people!”

But in an instant, looking at Su Li's sincere face, he lost his nerve again.

He knew Su Li had no reason to lie; these details were something no outsider could know unless they had experienced them firsthand.

Peach Blossom was equally shocked, her face paling. She jumped to her feet, covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes widened, and she involuntarily took a step back, her voice trembling with tears.

"Li'er, are you telling the truth? Why would you risk your life for me?"

But then she looked at Young Master Tang, her eyes filled with heartache and worry. She took two steps to his side, gently took his hands in hers, and softly comforted him.

"Young master, don't be afraid. No matter how dangerous the manor is, we'll figure something out together!"

Young Master Tang grasped Peach Blossom's hand and nodded gratefully.

Su Li looked at the two of them, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"Since things have come to this, we can only look forward. Young Master Tang, if you truly care about Peach Blossom, I will help you to the end."

Although the Tang family is in a mess right now, it's still better than letting Taohua marry that scoundrel Li Gou'er from the village.

Upon hearing this, Peach Blossom's eyes flashed with relief, and she felt deeply grateful to Su Li. "Li'er, I'm sorry for making you worry again."

Young Master Tang struggled to his feet and bowed deeply to Su Li, saying, "Miss Su Li, I am deeply grateful and will repay your kindness in the future."

Su Li sighed inwardly and waved her hand helplessly, "You should focus on getting better first. I'm not helping you, I'm helping Tao Hua."

At this moment, the wind howled outside the dilapidated temple, and peach blossoms lit candles.

The dim candlelight illuminated Su Li's face, making her eyes appear exceptionally deep.

Su Li looked at Young Master Tang and spoke calmly.

"Since that's the case, I want to know how you got injured? You said it was by bandits, so what exactly happened..."
