The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Chapter 8 Xiao Ruoxue: Let Me Show You How to Distinguish Between the King and Queen

Seeing the young lady's uncontrollable rage, Wang Biao's eyes lit up, and a plan immediately came to mind.

"Young Miss, please calm down."

"Does Li Qingshan, as the eldest young lady's man, think that having the second young lady as his backer means he can do whatever he wants?"

"Didn't he want to go outside the Marquis's residence?"

"Let him go!"

Wang Biao had been tricked twice by Li Qingshan. Qiaoqiao had used her influence to force him to pay twenty taels of silver in the name of the Ninth Madam. Now, Li Qingshan had also caused him to be punished by the Eldest Miss and absorb her inner energy. Wang Biao had long wished to get rid of Li Qingshan.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Xiao Ruoxue was taken aback, her beautiful eyes turning as cold as ice as she stared at Wang Biao.

Wang Biao shuddered in fright and hurriedly said, "Young Miss, didn't Second Miss ask you to arrange for Li Qingshan? Arrange for him to be the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion!"

Shuiyun Pavilion?

Xiao Ruoxue frowned slightly, then smiled knowingly.

The manager of Shuiyun Pavilion was originally Wang Biao's fellow townsman and an absolute confidant, but a few days ago he bought a fake Five-Leaf Fetal Fruit and lost five thousand taels of silver!

Arranging for Li Qingshan to go there at this time would undoubtedly make him take the blame when the accounts are checked three days later on the first day of the lunar new year!

"Alright, let that guy go to Shuiyun Pavilion!"

"Let him suffer a bit!"

"He's only just realized how ruthless I am!"

Xiao Ruoxue snorted coldly and immediately made a decision, instructing Qiuju to go back and answer the Second Miss.

.........

"Heh heh, Li Qingshan, let's see how you die this time!"

After walking out of the young lady's courtyard, Wang Biao swaggered around, playing with his walnut beard, his face full of smugness.

According to the rules of the Marquis of Changning's mansion, if a manager of a business outside the mansion has taken over the previous manager's bad accounts during an audit, then those bad accounts are the manager's responsibility.

And a deficit of five thousand taels!

That would be enough to kill Li Qingshan!

"At that time, I will act in accordance with the rules of the Marquis's mansion. Even if I execute first and report later, and beat Li Qingshan to death with sticks, the eldest and second young ladies cannot say anything."

Thinking of this, Wang Biao couldn't help but laugh out loud twice, feeling even more relaxed.

……

"Li Qingshan, you'd better get my poetry manuscript ready for me."

The Second Miss's Courtyard.

A ripple of emotion flickered in Xiao Ruoqing's beautiful eyes as she gazed at Li Qingshan with a delicate, charming look.

After their conversation, Xiao Ruoqing found Li Qingshan to be witty, humorous, talented, and insightful, truly unlike a servant.

In particular, the stories of "Dream of the Red Chamber" that Li Qingshan told her, especially the episode "Daiyu Buries Flowers," brought tears to Xiao Ruoqing's eyes, and she couldn't stop listening.

"I wonder when we'll meet again."

"Yes, I want to hear you continue telling the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

Xiao Ruoqing put down the round painted fan, stood up, and poured Li Qingshan a cup of tea.

"Don't worry, Second Miss. As long as I survive the clutches of the Eldest Miss, I'll write as many poems as you need."

Li Qingshan took the tea Xiao Ruoqing handed him, drank it all in one gulp, and patted his chest to assure her.

The nine years of compulsory education in my previous life, all those poems and lyrics I memorized weren't for nothing; they were more than enough to fool Xiao Ruoqing.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to reading your masterpiece."

Xiao Ruoqing smiled sweetly, looking at Li Qingshan with the eyes of a little fangirl.

The shyness of the innocent young girl, the unintentional charm that revealed her, was even more captivating than that vixen, Madam Jiu.

Seeing that Li Qingshan had finished his tea, Xiao Ruoqing smiled and refilled his cup.

This scene, where the young lady pours tea for the servant, is simply too beautiful.

Li Qingshan was also enjoying himself leisurely.

This is the kind of life a servant should enjoy.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the maid Qiuju came in with good news.

"Second Miss, the Eldest Miss has agreed and is going to arrange for Li Qingshan to become the manager."

Shopkeeper?

Xiao Ruoqing was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Where will I be the manager?"

Things went so smoothly?

This was clearly beyond Xiao Ruoqing's expectations!

Based on her understanding of Xiao Ruoxue, even if Xiao Ruoxue didn't make things difficult for her, she would at least try to extort some money from her.

"Go and become the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion!"

Qiuju replied with a grin, "It was recommended by Butler Wang Biao. That Butler Wang is such a good person!"

puff!

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan spat out a mouthful of tea.

Was it recommended by Wang Biao?

Manager of Shuiyun Pavilion?

He immediately grasped the key point!

"Wang Biao hates me so much he'd kill me, why would he kindly recommend me to be the manager of Shuiyun Pavilion?"

Li Qingshan thought back carefully.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, his eyes lit up, and exclaimed, "Now I know why that bastard recommended me to take over Shuiyun Pavilion!"

On the day.

When he went with Qiaoqiao, the maid of Madam Jiu, to ask Wang Biao to return the Fetal Essence Fruit and the silver, he saw Wang Biao scolding a servant. The reason seemed to be... that the servant had accepted some fake goods and suffered huge losses.

"After today, there are only two days left until the first day of the month, which is the day the Marquis's mansion will audit its accounts."

"Damn it, isn't this making me take the blame?"

As a servant in the Marquis's household, Li Qingshan naturally knew the rules of the Marquis's household.

"Second Miss, could you please not let me go to Shuiyun Pavilion?"

Li Qingshan said with a bitter face.

"Why is that?"

Xiao Ruoqing was completely confused and asked in bewilderment.

Li Qingshan was about to explain the reason, but before he could speak, Miss Xiao Ruoxue walked in with her maid Xiao Tao and steward Wang Biao.

"Big sister."

Xiao Ruoqing stood up and gracefully gave a bow.

Although she and Xiao Ruoxue disliked each other, they still had to maintain basic courtesy.

The more prestigious and wealthy a family is, the more particular they are about etiquette.

"Greetings, Second Sister."

Xiao Ruoxue nodded and said calmly, "Didn't Second Sister ask Li Qingshan to leave the manor for a while? I agreed."

Done.

Xiao Ruoxue turned around, her eyes coldly fixed on Li Qingshan: "Let's go. Now, immediately follow Steward Wang to Shuiyun Pavilion to take up your new posts!"

"Huh? This...?"

Li Qingshan was completely bewildered.

The young lady's sudden arrival, demanding that he take up his post immediately, was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Um?"

Xiao Ruoxue glared coldly!

"Yes, Miss."

Li Qingshan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He would make love with the young lady at night, but during the day she could kick him out of bed. Li Qingshan had already experienced this ruthless nature of hers, so he dared not say anything more.

Before leaving.

Li Qingshan subtly reminded the Second Miss, "Second Miss, come to Shuiyun Pavilion whenever you have free time. I'll tell you the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace. You absolutely must come!"

He was grasping at this straw!

"Okay, I'll definitely go whenever I'm free," Xiao Ruoqing readily agreed.

Li Qingshan wanted to say something more.

But the next second, Xiao Ruoxue used her true energy to grab his collar and drag him out of the Second Miss's courtyard.

"Hmph! You think that just because you've latched onto the second son, I won't dare do anything to you, huh?"

"I'll show you who's the king and who's the prince!"
