Chapter 632: 632 Qingyue’s friend 1
She neither agreed nor disagreed and didn’t take the silver notes, “I still have some money on me. Second brother, you keep the silver notes.”
Xiao Yishan was just about to mention that he had bought medicine for his big sister behind her back when Xiao Yuchuan came over with a big bowl and chopsticks, chasing after her, “Wife, wait a minute!”
Su Qingyue looked at him, “What’s the matter?” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He filled the bowl in his hand with a large serving of stir-fried meat, “There was so much meat fried in the stove pot, but no rice was cooked for breakfast. It must have been big sister who fried it all for herself. In any case, this bowl of stir-fried meat can be your breakfast.”
“I’m not hungry now. I’ll eat when I get to town.” She glanced at the little bastard, “Take good care of the little bastard and don’t skimp on its food.”
With that, she mounted her horse and rode away.
Xiao Yuchuan watched her riding away, her figure graceful and a bit heroic, quite a sight to behold.
His heart suddenly felt heavy, as if he couldn’t keep his wife by his side.
He still shouted loudly, “Wife, buy breakfast as soon as you get to town and don’t go hungry! I will take good care of the little bastard, so come back early!”
Xiao Yishan couldn’t bring himself to shout like that, but deep concern and worry showed in his deep eyes.
After arriving in town, Su Qingyue first bought two steamed buns to eat and then went to the pharmacy to buy a few kinds of herbs. Then, she took the wrapped medicine to East Street to find the Tao Mansion.
Walking along East Street, the Tao Mansion was quite famous in town. Even if she hadn’t asked anyone, she could see the Tao Mansion plaque from a distance.
Leading her horse, she stopped at the gate of the Tao Mansion and knocked on the main gate.
The gate opened, and the gatekeeper looked at her curiously, “Young lady, who are you looking for?”
“I am Su Qingyue. I came to…” Before she could finish her sentence, the gatekeeper immediately opened the gate, “So it’s Miss Su. Miss Tao told us that we should take you straight to her when you arrive, without announcing.”
Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow, “Oh, Miss Tao is so polite?”
“Who doesn’t know your reputation, Miss Su? The way you crippled thief Lai Tou for life is simply delightful. You also returned the moneybag to Miss Tao, which contained five gold ingots. Miss Tao really admires your integrity and has been talking about you with the servants.”
“She’s too kind.”
The gatekeeper took the reins of her horse, “I’ll take your horse to the stable, and someone will take you to the hall.”
“Alright.” She followed a maid as instructed by the gatekeeper to the Tao Mansion hall.
The Tao Mansion was surrounded by beautiful trees and lush greenery, with a courtyard paved with bluestone. Although the pavilions and terraces were not as exquisite and refined as those at big Boss Jin Xun’s mansion, they still had the style of a wealthy family.
Upon entering the living room of the Tao Mansion, Su Qingyue was served tea by a maid, while another maid went to inform Miss Tao.
Tasting the tea at the Tao Mansion, the tea leaves were of the finest Biluochun tea.
Soon, a beautiful woman in a light silk skirt walked over.
Su Qingyue took a look at her, and she was none other than one of the victims who returned the moneybag the day she caught the thief. She was the girl whose moneybag contained five gold bars and a piece of jade.
She walked over quickly, saw Su Qingyue’s face covered, and hesitated for a moment, “Are you Su Qingyue?”
“Yes. Miss Tao?”
“My name is Meijiao.” Tao Meijiao confirmed that she was Su Qingyue after hearing her voice, and warmly took her hand, “Qingyue, I finally met you! That day you caught and beat the thief, your skill was amazing! I wanted to thank you properly that day, but I looked away for a moment, and you disappeared.”
