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

Chapter 343 Stumbling Upon a Date
Su Xiaoxiao's horse understood its master's intentions perfectly. It suddenly let out a long neigh, which startled the men and women in the grove.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else, got into the carriage, and left.

Prince Gong and Su Xiuer quickly separated. Prince Gong nervously straightened his clothes, while Su Xiuer was even more frightened. Without saying goodbye, she ran away as fast as she could.

With a victor's smile, Su Xiaoxiao felt incredibly happy all the way. The April breeze brushed against her cheeks, and she whistled loudly.

As we were hurrying and approaching the ancient town of Xianglan, a chestnut-red horse galloped up behind us.

"In a good mood, Mr. Su?"

Su Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly stopped the carriage. She turned around and saw that the chestnut horse beside her looked very familiar; it was Yue Liang.

The person it was carrying was none other than Qian Musheng.

Qian Musheng, dressed casually, saw Su Xiaoxiao's smiling face.

"Is this a delivery into the city, Mr. Su?"

Su Xiaoxiao was in a pretty good mood after what had just happened.

She smiled and nodded. "You went to the workshop again? You've been going there quite often lately."

Qian Musheng stopped his horse and continued with a smile, "Indeed, but I won't be able to manage this business for a while. I need to go back to the capital for a period of time. There are some problems with the family business, and I need to help my family deal with them!"

"Really? You're going to the capital again?"

Qian Musheng nodded in agreement, then put on a pitiful and aggrieved look and said to Su Xiaoxiao in a coquettish tone, "I'm leaving soon, and it might be for several months. You won't see me for a while. How about you treat me to a meal?"

"what?"

Su Xiaoxiao was quite surprised, but she felt that Qian Musheng's reasoning was perfectly reasonable. She had just received a bonus and was now rich, so treating him to a meal was nothing unusual.

But when Qian Musheng suddenly said he was leaving, Su Xiaoxiao actually felt a little reluctant to part with him.

Qian Musheng had been helping their family all along, saying that he was borrowing money from loan sharks, but in the end he didn't ask for a single extra penny.

When he heard that the money was now being repaid not only by Su Ping'an, he was even happier than Su Xiaoxiao for Su Ping'an's relief.

So Su Xiaoxiao said that this was something a true friend would do for her, and isn't it normal to treat her to a meal now?

Su Xiaoxiao said to Qian Musheng, "Okay, I'll take you out to eat after I deliver this batch of jam to Sun's Grocery Store."

"Okay, I'll go with you. We can also see how Sun's jam is selling."

Qian Musheng was still very concerned about business matters, and at this moment he felt his sense of responsibility was overflowing, which made Su Xiaoxiao admire him very much.

However, on the way to Sun's Grocery Store, Su Xiaoxiao told Qian Musheng that she thought she saw Prince Gong there.

Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng frowned and asked, "Why would this person come here?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. Of course, she wouldn't reveal that Prince Gong's visit was actually to meet with her sister-in-law, Su Xiuer.

But to be honest, Su Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed to say it aloud. However, Su Xiaoxiao really couldn't figure out why Prince Gong had come here; after all, she couldn't very well say that Prince Gong's reason for coming was solely for Su Xiuer, could she?

Su Xiuer's charm wasn't that great. She knew that there were many beautiful women in the capital, as many as the stars in the sky, but she also knew that Su Xiuer's appearance could easily be overshadowed among these beauties.

Although Su Xiuer is currently pretending to be a lady in front of Prince Gong, anyone who spends more time with her can tell that she has a bad temper and a bad personality.

Moreover, she has neither talent nor knowledge, and in short, she doesn't have much personal charm. Unless Prince Gong appreciates a girl like her, will the two of them continue to be attracted to each other if they spend a long time together? Besides, Prince Gong is a womanizer and easily changes his mind. Even if the two of them are dating, Su Xiaoxiao still doesn't have any hope for this relationship.

"If you're not mistaken, he really is here. You'd better be careful. I won't be around to help you lately, so you should keep an eye on him."

As Qian Musheng walked, he spoke to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she understood.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of Sun's General Store. There were many people coming and going at the entrance. Sun said that this batch of jam was selling very well. Although people from the West Market are quite discerning, they might wonder if Su Xiaoxiao's jam was any good.

However, Su Xiaoxiao has recently been using the Western-style porcelain jars of jam that Bruce brought her. Some of them even have a buy-one-get-one-free offer. For example, she sets a rule that if you buy three jars of jam, you will get an extra Western-style porcelain bowl.

This porcelain bowl has a very fancy design, but it's beautiful enough to catch the eye.

People who bought it were naturally very willing to accept it because it was jam produced by Su Xiaoxiao's family.

As a result, the owner of Sun's restaurant reaped considerable profits, becoming extremely wealthy.

Qian Musheng was surprised to see that he had been worried that introducing Su Xiaoxiao's jam to the West Market would not open up the market so quickly.

But he had truly underestimated the allure of Su Xiaoxiao's jam. Crucially, he hadn't expected this tactic of giving away a Western-style porcelain jar with the purchase of jam.

Su Xiaoxiao gave him a brief introduction. Actually, it was something she had agreed upon with Bruce. Since Bruce had come to ask her for help, she couldn't just refuse, could she?

Just as the two were about to leave after delivering the goods, a tall, burly man stormed in. As soon as he entered, he yelled at Sun's shop, "The jam you sell gave my child diarrhea! How are you going to explain this?!"

He was holding a porcelain bottle, which was indeed a bottle of Baihua brand jam.

Qian Musheng frowned and quickly asked, "Are you at Sun's place?"

He answered yes.

"You're just making baseless accusations. Who knows if your child really got diarrhea from eating this jam?"

Sun Ji protested, "I dare not say anything else, but the jam sold by Boss Tang's family has never caused anyone to get diarrhea and come looking for it!"

Upon hearing this, the man seemed to think that Sun Ji suspected him of deliberately coming to cause trouble, and his anger flared immediately. He rushed forward, intending to throw a punch at Sun Ji's temple.

Sun Ji was quite frightened, and Qian Musheng quickly came over and separated the man from Sun Ji.

That man's fist was as big as a sandbag. Even if he didn't know martial arts, that punch would probably have killed Sun Ji.

Su Xiaoxiao took the porcelain bottle and examined it, discovering that it was indeed produced in their workshop.
