Chapter 49 Past grudges

When Lu Nanzhi saw him like this, he suddenly felt energetic. Could it be that he had anything to do with Xue Ningtang?

"When Xue Ningtang wanted to buy this shop, I bluntly refused. Later, when my mother was seriously ill and wanted to sell it, Xue Ningtang repeatedly stopped people from buying it, and even made a statement. Who dared to buy this shop? No matter what she operates, she would be right with Xue Ningtang."

This is why he didn't buy his shop so cheap.

"I thought Xue Ningtang would let me go after a long time, but I didn't expect them to come to you." Xu Beiting's eyes showed anger. Those people were so bullying!

Lu Nanzhi frowned. Xue Ningtang was so arrogant and domineering. What is the origin of the person behind this?

"Tell me the specific situation." Lu Nanzhi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the steaming Longjing.

Xu Beiting told the story: "A year ago, Xue Ningtang came to me to negotiate, hoping to buy this store for 120 taels. At that time, we could only make a living by relying on this shop. How could it be sold? So I firmly opposed it and refused."

"I didn't expect that Xue Ningtang would threaten me. If I insisted on refusing to sell, I would attack me. My shop would be smashed that night." Xu Beiting clenched his fists, and his expression of pain and anger appeared on his face, which looked extremely ferocious.

After listening to Xu Beiting's narration, Lu Nanzhi browsed deeply and asked for a moment of silence: "What happened later? Didn't you report to the official?"

"I knew I couldn't fight them, so I chose to compromise. I thought they would let me go." At the end, Xu Beiting looked up at Lu Nanzhi with a guilty face.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I'll go to them tomorrow. As long as they are willing to give up, I can do anything." Xu Beiting did not want to affect Lu Nanzhi, so he is willing to bow his head and admit his mistake now.

"Don't be impulsive. Xue Ningtang is not for you this time, but for me. Now that the Rouge Shop is so popular, Xue Ningtang has already felt the crisis, so they will take action again." Lu Nanzhi shook his head and persuaded him.

Although she doesn't like trouble, she is not afraid of trouble.

"But..." Xu Beiting hesitated, he didn't want to implicate Lu Nanzhi.

"It's okay, I will be careful and avoid conflicts with them as much as possible." Lu Nanzhi comforted with a light smile.

Xu Beiting looked at Lu Nanzhi carefully, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Don't you blame me?"

"What's wrong with you? The owner of Xue Ningtang is not a good thing. Even if I buy other shops, it will still become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. You don't have to feel too guilty."

When Lu Nanzhi saw the guilty person, he raised his hand and patted him on his shoulder.

A warm current rose in Xu Beiting's heart. He had never seen a kind and beautiful girl like Lu Nanzhi. She always gave people a gentle and intimate feeling, very comfortable and warm.

He nodded heavily again, his eyes moist and said, "As long as there is something I need, I will do my best to help you."

Lu Nanzhi smiled slightly, her smile gentle and charming.

Xu Beiting looked at her leaving back, but couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lu Nanzhi, I will do my best to protect you!

The next morning.

The sun shines on the eaves and the warm sun shines on the room.

Lu Nanzhi sat up and stretched. It was the first time she had such a comfortable life since she came here, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

I am used to being busy on weekdays, but suddenly I am so idle that I don’t know what to do.

After breakfast, she found Lu Qinghe running out sneakily. She noticed something was wrong, so she followed her secretly.

Watching Lu Qinghe walk towards the capital, after turning around, entering an alley, looking at the surrounding environment, I found that it is very close to Rouge Shop.

Just as she was hesitating whether to follow in, a woman passed by her with her maid. The familiar fragrance made her open her eyes wide and look at the veiled woman, watching them enter the alley.

Lu Nanzhi still couldn't help but feel curious and walked in.

In the alley, Lu Qinghe looked at the person in front of him tremblingly, "I was discovered, I didn't get the recipe. I, I won't cooperate with you anymore."

When Liu Qingyan heard these words, she became angry and said angrily: "What a waste, you can't do this little thing!"

Lu Qinghe didn't dare to say anything, looked down at the ground, and said in a humble tone: "Please let me go, okay?"

"Let you go?"

Liu Qingyan raised her head and laughed, approached Lu Qinghe step by step, raised her chin, pinched and scolded: "Since you are useless now, why am I still keeping you and causing trouble for myself?"

Lu Qinghe widened his eyes in horror and shook his head in fear: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

"Ba"

Liu Qingyan raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face, and said fiercely: "You are not worthy of slapping my hands."

Lu Nanzhi leaned against the cold wall and listened to the intermittent conversation coming from inside.

Just as the maid next to Liu Qingyan was about to take action, Lu Nanzhi accidentally stepped on a branch and made a crisp sound.

She held her mouth in panic, and was about to move away like a shadow, covering her and quickly dragged her into the alley.

"Ah! Who... Um!"

Lu Nanzhi was about to call for help, but his mouth was covered and he could only whimper and make a "um" sound.

Lu Qinghe was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. He saw Liu Qingyan looking outside, rolling and crawling in the corner.

Lu Nanzhi was thrown to the ground hard, his palm was rubbed to the skin, and a slight pain came from the palm of his hand.

The moment Liu Qingyan saw Lu Nanzhi, a trace of surprise and shock flashed in her eyes, and then she became vicious.

"Who are you? Why do you hide in the dark and eavesdrop on me?"

Lu Nanzhi did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Are you the owner of Xue Ningtang?"

A look of surprise flashed in Liu Qingyan's eyes, as if she didn't expect her identity to be recognized.

"You guys let me go. You don't want a formula, but the people who develop the formula are here." Lu Qinghe took this opportunity to sell Lu Nanzhi in order to save his life.

It would be great if we could use the two of us to get rid of Lu Nanzhi.

When Liu Qingyan heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and came to Lu Nanzhi and squatted down, "Are you the one who bought the Rouge Shop?"

"So what?" Lu Nanzhi saw that his identity had been discovered, so he did not continue to hide it.

Liu Qingyan suddenly burst into laughter. She originally planned to do it herself, but now it seems that she has been searching for everything without any effort.

Since she came to her home by herself, don't blame her for being rude.

"Take the person away." Liu Qingyan ordered to the maid behind her.

"What are you going to do? This is under the feet of the emperor. Aren't you afraid that I will report to the official?" Lu Nanzhi shouted angrily.

Liu Qingyan chuckled and squinted her eyes and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just invite you to visit my place."

The little maid knocked Lu Nanzhi unconscious with a palm, forcing Lu Qinghe to help the man onto the carriage together, and then the four of them left in the carriage.
