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

Chapter 181 Aunt Liu

Pei Yuan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He looked to Su Xiaoxiao for help in utter desperation.

As a result, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to him, as if she wanted to see how he would handle the matter.

Pei Yuan panicked and was about to push Tang Xiaoman away.

The carriage bell rang, and someone else arrived at the gate.

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the person who came in this time was dressed as a young mistress. She looked very young, actually only in her thirties, and walked with a graceful and elegant demeanor.

She was clearly from a prestigious family; she had beautiful features. She walked up to Tang Xiaoman.

"Xiaoman, stop making a scene! This is outrageous! You're bringing shame to the Tang family!"

Her voice was stern. As soon as Tang Xiaoman saw this woman enter, she immediately stopped her tantrum and quickly bowed very respectfully to the young mistress who had entered.

"Aunt Liu, what brings you here?"

Aunt Liu said to Tang Xiaoman, "The maid just told me that you went out, so I followed you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoman exclaimed, "What? You're still following me?" She didn't dare say it aloud, but she wasn't happy about it.

"Aunt Liu, I'm not a child anymore, why are you still doing this?"

"You're not a child, but you always act like one."

After glaring at Tang Xiaoman, Aunt Liu turned to look at Pei Yuan.

"Pei Yuan, it's been a long time."

Pei Yuan bowed deeply to Aunt Liu, seemingly showing her great respect.

"Yes, Aunt Liu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Still the same as before, but Pei Yuan, I really have to say something to you. How long have you been back in your hometown? You haven't even visited your Aunt Liu at the Tang residence. Even if you can't come to see me, you should at least come and see your Uncle, Governor Tang, right?"

"I have some trivial matters to attend to, but I will definitely visit you another day."

"Alright, Governor Tang and I will be waiting for you at home."

She looked at Tang Xiaoman and said sternly, "Come back with me right now!"

Although Tang Xiaoman was unwilling, she seemed to listen to Aunt Liu quite well.

Tang Xiaoman, pouting, was helped out of Su Xiaoxiao's specialty store by her maid Xiao Cui.

As Aunt Liu was leaving, she came up to Su Xiaoxiao, looked her up and down, and finally her gaze settled on the two children surrounding Su Xiaoxiao.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao looked at Aunt Liu timidly. Aunt Liu's body trembled slightly, but then she returned to normal.

She turned and left with the help of her maid. Pei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had finally left.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly; the annoying guy was finally gone.

Su Xiaoxiao finally had a moment to spare, and she gently asked the two children if they had eaten.

Da Bao said with a pitiful look, "Mom, we're all starving."

"Yes, Mom, that woman looked at us like she wanted to eat us alive, but Xiao Bao's stomach is empty right now, so it doesn't taste good at all!"

Xiao Bao was holding a piece of Daohuaxiang pastry in one hand while complaining that he hadn't eaten lunch.

Su Xiaoxiao was almost overwhelmed by her cuteness and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Okay, Mommy will take the two babies to Baxianlou Restaurant for dinner now."

She handed over the shop's affairs to Mrs. Sun and several other managers, and then prepared to take the jubilant Da Bao and Xiao Bao out for a meal.

Pei Yuan was still standing to the side, looking like he was being ignored.

Su Xiaoxiao waved to him, "What are you standing there for? Let's go eat!"

Pei Yuan then smiled and immediately ran over like a little puppy.

Su Xiaoxiao really had no way to deal with this general. A general who made countless enemies tremble with fear on the battlefield was now like a well-behaved little puppy. As long as Su Xiaoxiao called out, he would immediately run towards her.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly. She took Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao to eat at Baxianlou Restaurant.

The Eight Immortals Restaurant was bustling with activity at the moment, having been booked entirely by Su Xiaoxiao's family.

When Qian Musheng saw Su Xiaoxiao coming over, he quickly greeted her, "The main guest has arrived today. Come and help us greet the guests. I'm already overwhelmed."

Su Xiaoxiao was extremely grateful for Qian Musheng's help. She quickly went from table to table to offer a toast, saying, "Thank you all for coming and supporting us. I really appreciate it if you could come today. In the future, if there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask, and I'll be happy to oblige."

Su Xiaoxiao also said some polite words, and all the guests seemed to be very satisfied with Qian Musheng's hospitality.

How could there be anything to complain about? This is the best restaurant in town; dining here is the highest honor.

After entertaining her guests, Su Xiaoxiao quickly found a seat and finished her meal.

After lunch, Su Xiaoxiao asked Pei Yuan to take Da Bao and Xiao Bao home.

She needed to go back to the store to work for a while longer. When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the store, she saw that it was bustling with activity, and almost every employee was serving a customer; no one was idle.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask about Sun's sales figures, a woman dressed like an imperious young lady walked in from outside with her maid.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't pay much attention, after all, most of the customers in her shop were people of some status and position. She wasn't surprised and didn't think much of it. She went to the inner room to drink some water; the customers at the Eight Immortals Restaurant had insisted that she go around toasting each table, and she had drunk a little too much.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a bit thirsty, so she decided to drink some water and come back to talk.

I had just taken a sip of water when I heard the shop start to get noisy, with someone shouting in a very high-pitched voice.

There were indeed many customers buying things in the room just now, and the shop assistants were also introducing things, but although it was noisy, it didn't sound like an argument.

Su Xiaoxiao realized something was wrong, so she quickly came out of the inner room.

Sure enough, it was the young lady dressed as she had just come in. She was glaring at Su Xiuer, and the two of them were currently locked in a fierce standoff.

As soon as Sun saw Su Xiaoxiao come out, she walked over to her and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't need to worry about it, I'll handle it."

"What's going on? What happened?"

Ms. Sun said, "I was dealing with some things over there and didn't pay much attention. I'll go ask when I get there."

"You little brat, do you even know who my young lady is? How dare you treat her with such disrespect?"

Su Xiuer was not to be outdone, and straightened her neck, saying, "When have I ever neglected your young lady?"

The woman dressed as a maid who spoke up for her master was even more domineering than her master; truly, like master, like dog.

"Didn't our young lady call you just now? Why didn't you come over immediately?"

“I was serving some girls over there at the time. Besides, I already greeted your girl when she came in and told her to feel free to look around. I’ll come over as soon as I finish what I’m doing over there.”
