Chapter 103: Chapter 101: The Murder Case: Soldiers Officers Knock on Sisi’s Door and Her Heart Becomes Chaotic

“It’s not about whether I think you can do it or not, but whether you think you can do it or not!”

After saying that, Nan Tianzong somehow produced a folding fan and started fanning himself, looking like a dandy young master.

Isn’t that stating the obvious?

Liu Sisi gave him a disdainful glance. Whether she could do it or not would depend on whether she could meet Miss Gan family herself.

“Since that’s the case, it’s getting late. I will take my leave now, shopkeeper.”

Liu Sisi gathered her belongings and left the bookstore with the two children.

There weren’t many people in the small town on non-market days, and even the few passersby hurried on their way.

Liu Sisi quietly calculated that Di Yelei gave her 8 taels and 812 silver coins some days ago, and she spent 2 taels and 3 maces on medicine later.

She earned more than 300 copper coins as a reward for helping out at the bookstore for two days, plus the 5 taels of silver, so she had 12 taels in total. Unfortunately, more than 5 taels were borrowed from Li Wu and Zhang Peng, so she still needed several taels to make up 10 taels. It seemed that she really needed to make an effort.

Although she said she would make an effort, she couldn’t carry or do much herself. At present, the only way out was to try for the female tutor position.

Looking up at the day, Liu Sisi decided to go to the Gan Family first. Whether she could succeed or not, she at least had to give it a try.

The Gan Family’s residence was located in the northern part of the small town, a vast courtyard with high walls, black tiles, white walls, and red pillars. In front, there was a two-meter-high white wall covered with fish scale-like black tiles, and the wall edge was shaped like undulating waves. In the middle, there was a crescent-shaped red-lacquered main entrance, which was slightly ajar at the moment. A black plaque on the door read “Gan Mansion” in two large gilded characters.

Liu Sisi led the children step by step along the stone steps and slowly approached. Before she could knock on the door, a burst of girlish laughter suddenly came from inside.

Then, the door slammed with a bang.

A richly dressed young girl in a yellow gauze skirt dashed out of the entrance, looking back as she ran.

Four maids dressed in ivory-white tops and light green skirts chased after her, shouting while running: “Miss, Miss! Please stop running! The Old Madam has said that you are not allowed to leave the courtyard! Miss—”

There was limited space on the stone steps, and the young girl who rushed out was running very fast, only looking back at the maids. Liu Sisi and the two children couldn’t avoid her in time, and they all collided, falling into a heap.

“Ouch!——”

The young girl fell to the ground, and her face got smeared with mud.

Before she could get up, she scolded in a delicate voice, “Which blind servant dares to block this miss’s path? Hurry up and slap yourself! Ouch! I almost got killed, give them twenty hits of boards and then throw them out to feed the dogs!”

This little girl was so fierce at such a young age!

Ying’er was frightened by the scene and couldn’t stop crying. Liu Sisi quickly checked Xuan’er and Ying’er, and fortunately, they were not injured.

“Miss, are you all right?”

The maids who had caught up seem panicked and hesitated for a moment before coming forward to help.

The pretty young girl waved away the maids’ hands and scolded Liu Sisi, “Hey! Didn’t you hear what I said? Or are you deaf? Hurry up and help me up!”

What a spoiled little girl!

Liu Sisi muttered in her heart, let go of the two children, and helped the girl up from the ground.

She hadn’t seen the girl clearly from a distance, but now that she was close, she could see the delicate and luxurious clothes on the girl. The clothes had a soft and icy texture, with silver glimmers flowing over the fabric. On both sides of the girl’s head, coral and agate beads were strung into tassels tied with gold and silver threads, which added a touch of luxury to her playfulness. It was evident that she was not a regular girl from a wealthy family.

With fury in her eyes, the young girl snapped, “Humph! You clueless thing, how dare you block my way? Do you want to die? I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, a scolding voice suddenly came from inside, “Where’s the Miss? Where did she go?”
