Su Linglong was somewhat complacent at this time.
The second branch of the Su family would never make a breakthrough in the future, and she could finally show her strength without any constraints.
"Huo Chenan." Su Linglong murmured and repeated the name. She was getting more and more curious about this little servant who peeked at her bathing. When she thought about her promise to let him go after two months, she regretted it in her heart.
Doesn't he like to peek at her bathing? Otherwise, sacrifice your appearance and keep this handsome little servant.
Thinking of this, Su Linglong couldn't help blushing and getting hot. She hurriedly drove away these absurd thoughts. Su Linglong couldn't help but spit lightly: "Puh, puh, Su Linglong, what are you thinking about?"
While her thoughts were in chaos, Su Linglong had already arrived at Su Ruyi's villa. During this period, she had been busy dealing with the offensive of the second branch, and she really neglected to take care of her sister.
Now that the dust has settled, she finally has time to accompany her sister. After all, her sister is her only relative in this world after her parents passed away.
Su Linglong came to the front of the house and saw Su Ruyi standing in front of the table through the window, but her face and clothes were strange.
"Ruyi," Su Linglong was worried about her sister's condition, so she called softly and pushed the door open.
"Ah" screamed, Su Linglong was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, and saw that her "sister" was sawed in two, and her upper body was placed on the table at this moment, with a sallow face.
The real Su Ruyi and the maid Xier heard the noise outside and ran out to check.
Seeing her sister standing in front of her in good condition, Su Linglong was slightly relieved. She was so scared that she had lost her strength. She stood up with the help of Su Ruyi and Xier.
Su Linglong hugged Su Ruyi and said with sobs: "Sister, you are so scared. I thought you were in trouble."
After Su Ruyi understood the whole story, she smiled and took the portrait on the table.
"Sister, look."
Su Linglong looked at the sketch that Huo Chenan drew for Su Ruyi and was amazed. She saw that the portrait of her sister was so vivid on the wooden board that even the hair was clearly visible.
"This painting skill is simply amazing." Su Linglong praised generously.
The little girl raised her head and said proudly: "Brother Chenan, it's amazing!" She looked proud.
"Brother Chenan? Huo Chenan?" Su Linglong asked hesitantly.
"Yeah," the little girl nodded in response.
Su Linglong felt bad all of a sudden. She felt like her home was being robbed. The good cabbage that she had raised for many years seemed to be eaten by pigs.
Su Linglong chatted with Su Ruyi calmly, but the more she talked, the more frightened she became. The little girl almost talked about Huo Chenan in every sentence, which made her, her sister, a little jealous.
Su Linglong was firmly opposed to the pairing of the little girl and Huo Chenan. How could Huo Chenan, as a servant, be worthy of her sister?
She had not considered that she had even thought about selling her body when she was trying to keep Huo Chenan.
She made up her mind in a flash.
"Ruyi, my sister's friend will come to Jinling in two days. Her family is in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I think you can go with her to Suzhou and Hangzhou to relax."
"Okay, will my sister go with you?"
"There are still a lot of things to deal with at home. I will ask Uncle Fu to send more people to accompany you."
"You must bring Brother Chenan with you."
"Huo Chenan is not okay"
"Why?"
"I plan to promote Huo Chenan. There are so many things at home, and we need someone as capable as Huo Chenan to deal with them."
"Oh," the little girl felt disappointed, but she hoped that her brother Chenan could stand out. She knew that was what a real man pursued.
As soon as Huo Chenan returned to the Su Mansion, he was taken to the eldest lady's study.
Looking at Su Linglong sitting behind the desk, Huo Chenan hesitated. What if she insisted on marrying him? Or should he resist and then obey? Forget it, I'd better not resist. If she can't beat me, I'll be too arrogant.
While thinking about it, I heard Su Linglong say: "You have made great contributions in this incident. I plan to promote you to the deputy housekeeper of the Su Mansion, responsible for all matters of the farm, and your salary will increase tenfold."
Huo Chenan was a little disappointed. Those protagonists in time-travel novels are often promised their bodies, why doesn't it work for him?
Seeing that Huo Chenan didn't respond, Su Linglong asked: "Are you dissatisfied?"
"I'm not dissatisfied, but I will be free again in two months, and ten times the monthly salary is only ten taels of silver." Huo Chenan complained.
Su Linglong pretended to have just remembered and said, "I neglected it. I will go to the counter to withdraw a thousand taels of silver as a reward for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Miss."
"You will report to the farm tomorrow. It is the spring farming season, so you must manage it well."
Su Linglong thought that she was planning to take advantage of my sister. This time I will send you away and see what tricks you have.
Huo Chenan told the prince of Wu the truth.
"Well, you did a good job. Then you can report to the farm after the birthday banquet of the king of Wu." Su Linglong agreed.
After leaving the eldest lady's study, Huo Chenan was in a good mood. One thousand taels of silver still had a lot of purchasing power in this era. He also completed the original accumulation.
Huo Chenan came to the prince's mansion as promised the next morning.
When the prince introduced the band members to Huo Chenan, an unexpected person was also among them.
"Miss Mudan?" Huo Chenan looked at the most famous prostitute in Jinling in front of him in surprise. This time, Mudan's dress was much more restrained, but she still exuded infinite charm in her every move.
"I have met Mr. Huo." Mudan bowed to Huo Chenan.
"I was wondering who was more charming than me and could win Mr. Huo's favor. It turned out to be His Royal Highness, so I feel much better." Mudan complained to Huo Chenan in a coquettish tone.
The Prince was also trying to smooth things over: "Miss Mudan agreed to join because of your name, Huo Chenan, otherwise I wouldn't have such a big face."
Huo Chenan smiled and said: "Miss Mudan, you are wrong about me. I am just a servant. If I go to such a brothel, I am afraid I can't even afford the wine and drinks."
Mudan gave Huo Chenan a coquettish look, which almost hooked Huo Chenan away.
She only complained: "You are such a slippery person. If you go to my Peony House, how can I let you spend a penny?" Huo Chenan thought to himself, what a troublesome little devil, and had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will definitely visit you another day. If you want money, Miss Peony, I can only ask for money and not my life." Huo Chenan joked, and the Prince of Wu and Miss Peony also laughed out of respect.
