C92 (1/2)

The sun was high in the west, and the bluestone was late.

The first winter's day was fleeting. In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened again.

After the performance ended, the entire second floor was deserted. Other than the maidservants on the third floor, who were helping their Young Miss to purchase them, there were no other guests.

Su Zhi packed up everything and decided to go downstairs to discuss the situation in the store with Elementary Scholar Li. Just as she was about to leave, Qiu Hong ran upstairs to tell her that a customer had come to see her.

”Boss, I've already brought that Young Master Li to the second floor. After you finish your work, go and take a look.”

Su Zhi nodded and hurriedly tidied up everything before heading downstairs.

Li Wuyou had arrived too quickly, and she was willing to wait at least three or four days. She didn't expect that he would come looking for her after a single night. Could it be that something had happened?

When she arrived at the private room, Li Wuyou was drinking tea leisurely. Along with him was Hua Li, who had fought with her before.

The two of them did not argue and did not cause trouble. They just sat there quietly, like two peerless beauties.

”Both gongzis have come. If you're not able to welcome them from afar, there's still a chance for you to see them.”

”Good morning, Lady Su.”

Li Wuyou put down his teacup, scratched his head and smiled apologetically, ”This morning, I followed the instructions written by my wife and cooked the porridge. I ate my food and refused to eat anything I made, so I'm ashamed.”

Su Zhi covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. She comforted him, ”It's alright. Just do it a few more times. Cooking is something that can be learned.”

Her pretty face instantly fell, ”I don't want to go to the latrine as a slut again.”

Li Wuyou smiled guiltily before getting down to business.

”I've already investigated the matter that the young lady requested yesterday.”

Su Zhi was shocked, she did not expect it to really happen so quickly.

”Young master is so smart. I thought you'd have to wait a few days to get the news.”

Li Wuyou reported back on his sword and arrogantly tilted his head towards Su Zhi, saying in disdain, ”How could it take so long? You're underestimating the strength of my Black Cloud Stronghold too much.”

”I am truly sorry. I was the one who failed to recognize the belittlement of young master Mt. Tai.” I hope that Young Master will not blame me for telling you the truth. ”

Li Wuyou retracted his conceited look, and said seriously: ”Before this investigation, I always thought that it was all because of the big business, that the big tree attracted the displeasure of others, and that was why they colluded with the government. But it turns out that it's not as simple as we think. ”

Su Zhi's mind tightened as she continued to ask, ”What does Young Master mean?”

”Part of the reason we were able to quickly find out who the mastermind was was because he didn't avoid the evidence. In other words, they're not worried about you causing trouble at all. ”

Now that things had gotten to this stage, Su Zhi could already faintly guess what was going on. Li Wuyou, who was afraid that she might guess the wrong person, immediately whispered in her ears and told her who the mastermind was.

Su Zhi frowned and pretended to be worried. She had never thought that she would be the cause of this disaster.

”Now that the matter has been ascertained, I have a general idea of what I should do in the future. ”Many thanks to Young Master Li. Here is twenty silver taels, I hope you can accept them.”

Li Wuyou pushed it back with a wave of his hand.

”I said that I won't accept this silver, as long as the little lady is willing to accept me as her disciple and teach me how to cook porridge.”

Su Zhi burst out in laughter, finding it difficult for Li Wuyou to act tough. In order to satisfy the nectar of the flower, he did not hesitate to drill into the kitchen to make a pot of good porridge.

”Thank you very much, Young Master Li. I will be hosting a banquet in the Han Residence one day to entertain the two of you.”

Upon hearing that there was food to be had, Flower Soluble nodded his head and said, ”In that case, thank you very much, little wife.”

After sending off Li Wuyou and Hua Xuan, Su Zhi fell into deep thought once more. Now that she knew who had splashed Hua Manlou with dirty water, she didn't know how to respond.
