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

Chapter 257 Custom-made Pouches
While Su Xiaoxiao was explaining to the shop assistant, a cold glint suddenly appeared in her eyes. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was quick-witted and nimble-fingered.

She instinctively dodged to avoid hitting her neck, but unexpectedly, the back of her hand was slashed by the man's broken sword.

"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Sun rushed over and caught the swaying Su Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, a warm liquid flowed down from the back of Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

Su Xiaoxiao was also quite frightened; her heart was pounding. She stared blankly at the woman in front of her, who looked to be in her thirties, but she had no recollection of her at all.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to assassinate me?"

"Who I am is not important. I brought my poor young lady here. Why did you have to steal Pei Yuan of all men?"

"You are Tang Xiaoman's maid."

"That's right, I'm her wet nurse."

"Wet nurse, do I know you? Why are you trying to take my life? What grudge do I have against you?"

The middle-aged woman gave a cold laugh.

“You have no grudge against me, but I watched my young lady grow up. If you make her sad and upset, and she acts like she’s going to die every day, then you’re going against me. I won’t let you bully my young lady like that.”

You deserve to die!

Su Xiaoxiao was truly at a loss with this middle-aged woman, so she said to the other shop assistants, "Please help me report this to the authorities."

At this moment, the doctor was brought over by the shop assistant and bandaged Su Xiaoxiao's wound, but the doctor also said...

"Mr. Su, your wound is quite deep. I think you won't be able to use this hand for a while."

Su Xiaoxiao remained remarkably calm. After seeing the doctor off, she turned back to look at the middle-aged woman who had already been subdued.

The middle-aged woman truly hated Su Xiaoxiao with a vengeance. "My young lady lost her mother at a young age and is already a pitiful person. She has loved only one man in her life, and even the Emperor has bestowed her in marriage to General Pei Yuan. Everyone thought it was a match made in heaven, a natural progression. But then suddenly, a heartless woman like you appeared, Su Xiaoxiao. Who do you think you are, interfering in our lives? My young lady is now spending all her time at home crying, her eyes are almost blind from crying. I couldn't stand it, so I came to seek revenge on you."

The middle-aged woman revealed everything without hiding anything, which showed how much she hated Su Xiaoxiao.

"If that's the case, are you finished?"

Looking at the wet nurse who stood up for Tang Xiaoman, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to pity her or hate her.

"Alright, if you think what you did was worthwhile, I won't say anything more. I'll hand you over to the authorities for punishment. As for whether your young lady, Tang Xiaoman, will be implicated, I can't say for sure!"

Su Xiaoxiao and she didn't waste any more words.

The wet nurse was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could rush over and bite Su Xiaoxiao.

"You vicious woman, I will take full responsibility for my actions. This matter has nothing to do with my young lady. I came here to seek revenge for her!"

"Really? Then tell the official that and see if he believes you."

Su Xiaoxiao deliberately provoked the wet nurse.

The wet nurse screamed at Su Xiaoxiao like a madwoman, "You wicked woman, you will definitely get your comeuppance!"

Su Xiaoxiao ignored her, but a series of pains came from her hand.

Today was really unlucky; I kept running into crazy people.

To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao herself didn't know why Tang Xiaoman hated her to such an extent. Did she really not deserve to be with Pei Yuan?

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao also began to waver.

During the few days that Su Xiaoxiao injured her hand, she stayed at the shop and did not go home.

Her main concern was that the children would worry about her injuries. It wasn't until both children missed Su Xiaoxiao that Pei Yuan led them to find her.

"What are you doing?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Although Pei Yuan was unaware of Su Xiaoxiao's injury, he felt that Su Xiaoxiao had been acting strangely lately, seemingly becoming distant from him.

Just as Pei Yuan was about to say something to Su Xiaoxiao, he saw Su Xiaoxiao smiling at Da Bao and Xiao Bao and saying, "Since you're here, how about Mom takes you out to play now?"

The two children were naturally delighted to hear that they were going to play in town.

They went out on the street with Su Xiaoxiao, leaving Pei Yuan alone in the shop.

It wasn't the first time the two children had been to town, but they were still quite curious about everything they saw.

"Mother, what are those people wearing?"

Da Bao pointed to the children, who were about his age and walking around him in the crowd. They all wore those little trinkets that looked very nice, and Da Bao felt envious.

Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Da Bao was pointing and replied, "That's a purse. Da Bao, do you want one? When we get back, Mom will give you and Xiao Bao one each, okay?"

"really?"

Da Bao's eyes widened suddenly, revealing a hint of anticipation and surprise in his clear eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the way Da Bao and Xiao Bao looked at her. If they looked at her like that, they wouldn't care about the stars or the moon. Even if the two children asked Su Xiaoxiao for the best things in the world, Su Xiaoxiao would agree to buy them for them without hesitation.

"Of course, when has your mother ever lied to you? Now I'll take you two to choose the material for the purse, and see what kind of material you and Xiaobao like, okay?"

The two children were overjoyed and no longer liked any of the food or toys Su Xiaoxiao had bought for them. They only wanted to see the two purses. It seems that children really do change their minds quickly.

Su Xiaoxiao led Dabao and Xiaobao to the fabric store, selected the best fabrics, and also bought some silk threads and the like.

Su Xiaoxiao carried large bags of pastries, dried fruit, toys, and other items she had bought, then led her two children, one on each side, back to her shop.

On the way, Su Xiaoxiao asked the two children what kind of purse they liked.

Da Bao happily described his ideal design. Seeing how serious Da Bao was, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Okay, I'll customize the pattern according to your design today."

"it is good."

Da Bao answered crisply.

Pei Yuan watched from the side, wanting to come over and talk to Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and seemed not to want to talk to him at all.

There was no way around it; the pattern Da Bao wanted was far too complex, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't make it, given her limited skill level. It was quite frustrating.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to customize the design for Da Bao's purse according to her own ideas.
