After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 144 Prince Gong Invites Me to Dinner
After all, not just any host can be so generous in this matter, treating their subordinates with such magnanimity and not even pursuing the matter further. It's quite unexpected.

The young man quickly left. At most, he would only be punished and lose his wages for the month, but he wouldn't be fired or even killed. If he fell into Prince Gong's hands, he would probably lose his life.

The story is quite dramatic, and Su Xiaoxiao quickly thanked Prince Gong.

In this matter, Su Xiaoxiao actually thought that Prince Gong was quite good at taking care of women.

However, it's more likely that it's an act. Without fully understanding Prince Gong himself, Su Xiaoxiao really shouldn't draw any conclusions about this matter.

"Now that we've met today, it's a kind of fate. I'll treat you to dinner at my villa tonight. Surely Mr. Su won't refuse me that?"

"This……"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Qian Musheng, who was about to refuse, but Prince Gong waved his hand dismissively, "I'm leaving. See you at the villa tonight?"

Qian Musheng didn't even have a chance to refuse outright, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

However, this matter is quite worrying. Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know what this villa is, but Qian Musheng does.

Thinking about what kind of scene I would be facing that night, it was a bit unimaginable.

But it's too late to regret it now. There's probably no reason to refuse. Who is Prince Gong? He can offer to treat everyone to dinner. Who would dare to refuse such a reason?

Well, whether it's a blessing or a curse, we'll have to wait and see tonight to find out.

Su Xiaoxiao was also a little worried about having dinner at Prince Gong's villa tonight. After all, this was Prince Gong's property, so what kind of place was the villa?
After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's question, Qian Musheng said, "The villa is Prince Gong's harem. It's like a place specifically for him to cultivate his wives and concubines. This is no ordinary place. The women he captures are all kept here for his amusement."

Upon hearing the explanation, which turned out to be the villa's intention, Su Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "No, we can't go!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng sighed, "Whether it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we have to go. It seems there's no reason to refuse today."

This matter seems quite complicated. After finishing breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng began to ponder how to handle the "feast at Hongmen" that evening.

The two had just stepped out of the Eight Immortals Restaurant when they encountered two women.

It was obvious that they were a master and servant. The woman walking ahead with her head held high recognized Su Xiaoxiao at a glance.

"Su Xiaoxiao, it's you!"

Su Xiaoxiao was startled, thinking to herself, "I'm so far away in the capital, do people even know me? It's quite unexpected."

The person in front of me was none other than Tang Xiaoman, whom I had just met at my doorstep a few days ago.

That spoiled and willful rich girl, isn't her family from town? Is she here in the capital for a visit?

As the saying goes, nothing is more true than a coincidence. How could it all be such a coincidence? Yes, Su Xiaoxiao sometimes wonders about this too.
The key point is that Tang Xiaoman's pink dress is exactly the same as Su Xiaoxiao's. Both of them are wearing the latest style of dress, so at first Tang Xiaoman didn't dare to recognize Su Xiaoxiao.

Two people who are most incompatible met in a foreign land, and to put it in today's terms, they even wore the same clothes.

The more you want to avoid someone, the more likely you are to run into them the moment you step outside. For example, if you go out in the morning and just go downstairs, it's like all the people you don't want to see are there at the same time. Is there any chance of such a coincidence? It's completely unpredictable.

So there really is some mystery involved in this matter. For example, you might be having a lot of bad luck lately, or you might be having a run of bad luck.

Su Xiaoxiao was extremely annoyed by this woman, and she never expected to run into her while having a meal at Baxianlou Restaurant.

Is this fate? Or perhaps it's a karmic entanglement!

"Su Xiaoxiao, it really is you? Oh, so you've hooked up with another rich young master?"

She looked at Qian Musheng standing next to Su Xiaoxiao from head to toe, left to right, scrutinizing him for several minutes without being able to look away.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk to her. "Whether it's something or not, it's none of your business. Get lost!"

Su Xiaoxiao tried to pull Qian Musheng away, but Tang Xiaoman stubbornly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist.

"Wait a minute, let me tell you, now that you have a new lover, stop thinking about my Pei Yuan. You'd better be smart and tell your two kids to be smart too. Don't try to win over my Pei Yuan with any family ties. I've figured out your scheming ways long ago."

After saying that, she beckoned to her maid, a woman named Xiao Cui, and said to her, "Come on, they're not coming here to eat today. It's incredibly unlucky. We need to wash ourselves with pomelo leaves to get rid of the bad luck when we get back to the inn."

Dressed in emerald green, Xiao Cui, true to her name, made a gesture to Su Xiaoxiao that was very similar to her mistress's. She really resembled her mistress perfectly; they were practically identical.

Su Xiaoxiao watched Tang Xiaoman, dressed in pink, sway and walk away, feeling both angry and amused.

I don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, there's no need to get angry with this woman.

Su Xiaoxiao also knew that she was spoiled and pampered, and no one could meet her standards.

However, her attitude towards Sanlang that day made Su Xiaoxiao extremely jealous. The jealousy in her heart turned into anger. She was angry that this willful and capricious woman could occupy the first twenty years of Pei Yuan's life.

Although she knew that she was just trying to provoke her, trick her, and make her angry and flustered, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help herself.

"Do you know her? This woman seems quite domineering."

Qian Musheng hadn't given Tang Xiaoman a friendly look either. In fact, if Qian Musheng hadn't been standing next to Su Xiaoxiao, Tang Xiaoman would probably have ridiculed Su Xiaoxiao even more recklessly.

"You still have the money to eat at such a nice place? That dress you're wearing must be expensive, you probably didn't buy it yourself, did you get it from a lover?"

She was likely to say even harsher things, but a well-mannered man nearby told her to swallow her words, as it seemed inappropriate to say them like that.

However, Qian Musheng's appearance also made Tang Xiaoman very jealous. She thought to herself, "Su Xiaoxiao is quite capable. She has hooked up with another one in just a few days."

This young man looked quite wealthy; although I didn't know him, he seemed vaguely familiar.
