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

Chapter 169 Bruce Brings Back Durian

"If Your Majesty has nothing else, I shall take my leave. Young Master Qian is still waiting for me over there..."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she pointed to Qian Musheng standing over there. Upon seeing this, the Emperor had no choice but to let Su Xiaoxiao go.

"Then I won't keep you any longer."

"Farewell."

Su Xiaoxiao bowed to the Emperor again before leaving, feeling that she had just broken out in a light sweat.

Some were frightened, while others were startled.

Qian Musheng stood at a distance and did not come over.

When Su Xiaoxiao walked up to him, Qian Musheng asked her, "What's wrong? Who are those two people?"

Su Xiaoxiao said to him directly, "It's nothing, he's just a customer who used to buy jam, don't worry about it."

Qian Musheng didn't ask any further questions. After bidding farewell to Qian Musheng, Su Xiaoxiao returned to Baihua Village.

She hadn't seen Pei Yuan and their two children for over ten days and missed them terribly.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had made a name for herself in Beijing this time.

When Su Xiaoxiao returned to Baihua Village this time, the villagers began to look at her differently. After all, being able to go to the capital to receive the emperor's reward was more prestigious than any other glorious achievement, wasn't it?

Pei Yuan asked Su Xiaoxiao in a very serious tone.

"Did the Emperor make things difficult for you?"

Su Xiaoxiao stared at Pei Yuan, stunned for a few seconds, and then found it quite unbelievable.

"I really didn't expect that you and the Emperor were sworn brothers. You're quite capable."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuan said somewhat shyly, "He actually told you about this? Then he should be considerate of me and won't make things difficult for you."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "What do you mean by 'because of you'? It's because I'm so capable that I made your foodie brother happy, so he didn't make things difficult for me, okay?"

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's smug expression, Pei Yuan found her both cute and mischievous, and couldn't resist coming up to kiss her.

Su Xiaoxiao dodged it immediately.

Hiroki Iijima tried to kiss her, but Su Xiaoxiao actually tried to avoid it.

In the future, if she knew that she couldn't even see him when she wanted to, she would definitely regret it to death, right?

Autumn is just around the corner. Su Xiaoxiao looked at the thriving chili peppers in her yard, dried a basket of peppers, and shook off the dust. It was just a coincidence, anyway.

Just as she was shaking off the dust, Grandma Liu happened to walk into Su Xiaoxiao's yard from outside. This time, Grandma Liu was choked by the chili powder and coughed incessantly.

"Su Xiaoxiao, are you trying to murder me for money?"

When Su Xiaoxiao saw it was her, she shook the winnowing basket off her hands and became even more energetic.

Granny Liu retreated repeatedly until she reached Su Xiaoxiao's front door. Pointing her finger at Su Xiaoxiao's nose, she cursed, "You little slut, you have a wicked heart. You will surely die a horrible death, you will definitely get your retribution."

Su Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.

"You came here of your own accord. You're not welcome in our home! Get out of here!"

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of her own door.

Granny Liu pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and scolded, "I came here to tell you, don't be so smug now that you've even met the Emperor in the capital. As the old saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Sooner or later, you'll be in trouble."

"Oh, so that's why you came here."

Su Xiaoxiao found it quite amusing; this guy had come all this way just to scold her about this. "I think you're just a sour grapes. By the way, have you ever been to the capital in your entire life? Let alone seen the Emperor?"

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw that Grandma Liu's eyes were about to roll upwards; she was truly furious.

Su Xiaoxiao was absolutely right; Granny Liu had lived to be almost sixty and had never been to the capital.

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't do anything malicious on purpose, the wind is blowing right in the direction of Granny Liu today. What should we do?

The chili powder was sprayed onto the face of Granny Liu, who was loudly cursing Su Xiaoxiao.

Grandma Liu was also choked and started sneezing uncontrollably. Su Xiaoxiao found Grandma Liu's disheveled appearance quite amusing.

Grandma Liu was eventually driven away by her.

After Su Xiaoxiao finished shaking the chili peppers off the door, she was about to go inside when a very luxurious carriage stopped in front of her house.

Then a voice with a very strange accent came out.

"Oh my God, what a beautiful little house!"

Upon hearing the voice, Su Xiaoxiao realized it was Bruce.
This man was none other than Bruce, with whom she had trade dealings. As soon as Bruce got off the carriage, he walked up to her and was stunned when he saw the basket of chili peppers.

"What is this red powder? Is it chili pepper?"

Su Xiaoxiao explained.

"Yes, don't you find it pungent?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked him, and only then did Bruce truly feel a bit smoky.

It really was a little bit pungent; the chili powder irritated Bruce's big nose, causing him to sneeze one after another.

"But Bruce, what brings you here?"

Although Su Xiaoxiao apologized, she didn't stop what she was doing and kept waving the winnowing basket. As a result, Bruce kept sneezing one big sneeze after another.

By the time she realized what was happening, Bruce finally stopped sneezing and knew to put away all the chili peppers in his hands.

"I brought back some fresh fruit and fun things to show you, so here I am."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao excitedly said, "Okay, show it to me!"

Bruce unloaded a box of grapes and a box of durians from the carriage, and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in amazement.

She immediately rushed over and pounced on the box of durians, smelling them without a care for her image.

Bruce also brought small persimmons, the kind that are heart-shaped, which Su Xiaoxiao hadn't expected.

Bruce brought back so much fruit, "You don't even mind the smell of this durian?"

Bruce was also puzzled. On his way here, everyone who smelled durian couldn't stand it and thought something had gone bad.
The result was the smell of durian that Bruce brought, which made it even less likely that anyone would want to try it or even buy it.

Currently, only Su Xiaoxiao has accepted the smell of durian.

"Quick, break off a piece for me to try!"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately wanted to pick up a piece of durian and take a bite. Bruce was also very kind; he immediately opened a durian and broke off a piece for Su Xiaoxiao to try.

Su Xiaoxiao genuinely thought the aroma of durian was simply wonderful. However, regardless of whether it's ancient or modern times, many people find the smell of durian unbearable. They generally believe that durian is simply too smelly and unacceptable.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't think so; she believed that durian was the ultimate delicacy.
