Chapter 40

After leaving a few words, Chen Heng turned around and left the private room.

As soon as he left, Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace.

Although she didn't know why Chen Heng said that, Chen Heng didn't embarrass her face to face. This made Su Luo's hanging heart feel a little more at ease. She pinched the joints of the remaining fingers with her thumbs, encouraged herself again, and turned her head.

A smiling face met the shopkeeper's.

"Do you think the smell is okay?"

The shopkeeper thought that the young man just had a grudge against the young man who sold the braised sesame water, so he rushed in angrily. He thought that if there was really a dispute, he would never keep the braised sesame juice that tasted like an elixir.

Unexpectedly, the other party recognized the wrong person.

"The taste is indeed good, but please forgive me, little brother, I can't make the decision on this. Although I am in charge of the size of the restaurant, adding or subtracting the menu must be approved by the owner."

After a pause, the shopkeeper suddenly asked, "How's your drinking capacity, little brother?"

Su Luo was stunned by these words.

The shopkeeper explained, "Our boss is a good drinker. If you are willing to have a drink with him and make him happy, and the taste of your brine is really good, then this matter will be close to the same."

.

The main reason is that everyone generally rejects sewerage, so even if we put it on the menu, no one might order it.”

Su Luo realized that this was because the shopkeeper had already recognized her in his heart, and was afraid that his boss would not agree and gave her some advice.

He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you for the tip, shopkeeper. Then... can you help arrange it? I'll treat your boss to dinner."

Su Luo didn't know how much she drank. She didn't drink when she was at Zhenninghou Mansion.

But isn't that what business is all about? There's no such thing as everything going as planned. There's always a first time for everything, so she gritted her teeth.

Seeing Su Luo's happy response, the shopkeeper also smiled and said: "Okay, my boss just happened to come to the restaurant today. It's almost noon now. Why don't you wait a moment and I'll ask you? Or do you want to go again?

Check out other restaurants?”

Su Luo smiled and said: "I must go to other restaurants, but there is no reason to ask the owner to wait for me. I will just wait here. I can go to other restaurants in a few days."

The shopkeeper moved the corners of his mouth, but the words on his lips did not come out. He smiled, turned around and went out.

As soon as he left, Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Nervously, I rubbed the sweat from my palms onto my clothes. Will I be drinking soon?

Fortunately, she came with Brother Xiao today, so she wouldn't be unable to get home even if she got extremely drunk.

What is Brother Xiao doing? When will he finish his work? Why haven't you come over yet...

Su Luo rubbed her hands and walked towards the window. She didn't realize that she didn't think about the problem that Chen Heng just had, but she kept thinking about Xiao Yu.

As soon as Su Luo walked to the window, she saw a government servant wearing a government official uniform galloping towards him. Before the horse could stop in front of the restaurant, he dismounted and rolled into the restaurant.

Su Luo was stunned.

The yamen officer is in such a hurry, what happened?

Su Luo's doubts arose when she heard footsteps approaching in a panic, followed closely by the door of an unknown private room being pushed open.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the King of Huainan has ordered the Yamen to be closed again!"

Su Luo:......

It seems that the last time she came to Zhending overnight from Zhenninghou Mansion, she heard that the King of Huainan ordered the Zhending Yamen.

Is this...ordered again?

I don’t know what was said in the private room, but soon after, the loud voice of the yamen servant rang out again, "This time, the yamen and your study were burned down together. Your Majesty, please ask the prince to come over quickly."

The private room next door.

Chen Heng stood up from his chair with a cold look on his face, his gloomy eyes filled with anger, gritted his teeth and walked out.

What a Xiao Yu, I must do something right with his Zhenninghou Mansion!

Chen Heng came out of the private room with a dark face. When he walked to the door of Su Luo's private room, he pressed the pad of his thumb hard on the knuckle of his index finger. He said to the yamen servant: "You go back first, I'll be right back."

The yamen servant who came to report the news did not think much and left as ordered.

Su Luo heard these words clearly in the private room. Chen Heng said it right at the door of her private room.

Su Luo's heart suddenly rose again. Then, Chen Heng pushed the door in and closed the door behind her back.

Chen Heng glanced at the bowl of black and red stuff on the table that Su Luo had just given to the shopkeeper to try, "Is this the snack you made?"

Su Luo didn't know what Chen Heng meant. Her heartbeat was pounding and she was so frightened that she said, "Yeah."

Chen Heng's eyes moved from the bowl to Su Luo's face, "What is it?"

Su Luo paused and said matter-of-factly: "Brine is in the water."

Chen Heng's angry eyes suddenly burst into visible shock, followed by disgust. He frowned and looked at Su Luo, "Go into the water?"

He also thought that Su Luo was making some delicious snacks and wanted to sell them in restaurants to make a living for himself.

The result was going into the water?

Oh!

That's right, no one wanted the cheap one, so Su Luo had the money to buy it back and cook it.

Want to sell this thing to a restaurant? Chen Heng almost blurted out a whimsical sentence.

He looked at Su Luo, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask you again if you want to go back with me. If you go back now, I can help you get a position as an equal wife."

Before this, Chen Heng had never thought about the word equal wife.

His status is so noble that he does not allow the existence of a wife that is detrimental to the lintel of the family.

But... maybe this bowl of brine water stimulated him, and Su Luo was reduced to the point where he wanted to make a living by drinking water.

Listening to Chen Heng's words, which were like a gift, Su Luo greeted him expressionlessly, "Thank you for the promotion, Your Majesty. I don't deserve it. Besides, if I really go back, no one will be able to live well."

Chen Heng gritted his teeth, "You don't know how to appreciate me! You would rather deal with this thing than go back with me? You have to think clearly. When you want to go back again, the position of this equal wife will be gone."

Su Luo still had the same expression, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. You can go and do your work. I just heard from the Yamen servant that I'm really waiting for you at the Yamen, so I won't waste Your Majesty's time."

Su Luo looked distant.

Chen Heng's heart suddenly jumped.

Once upon a time, it was he who said to Su Luo: Stop hanging around in front of me. I'm very busy here, don't waste my time.

Unexpectedly, Su Luo said this to him today.

It was almost the same words, which were the original meaning of what he had said countless times before. Now, when they sounded, Chen Heng only found them harsh and unpleasant.

He stared at Su Luo for a moment and turned away.

As soon as he went out, he met the shopkeeper who was rushing back. Chen Heng was filled with anger and an aura of not letting strangers in. The shopkeeper couldn't help but shudder and quickly stepped aside to make way for him.

As soon as Chen Heng left, the shopkeeper entered the private room and asked Su Luo, "Why did that young master come here again just now? What's the matter?"
