Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 49

Seeing him like this, Lu Nanzhi suddenly regained his spirits. Could it be that he has something to do with Xue Ningtang?
"At the beginning, Xue Ningtang wanted to buy this shop, but I bluntly refused. Later, when my mother was seriously ill and wanted to sell it, Xue Ningtang repeatedly blocked people from buying it, and even let out a word, who dares to buy this shop, No matter what you do, it is against Xue Ningtang.”

This is also the reason why he didn't buy his shop so cheap.

"I thought Xue Ningtang would let me go after a long time, but they still came to you." Xu Beiting's eyes showed resentment, those people were really bullying!
Lu Nanzhi frowned, Xue Ningtang is so arrogant and domineering, what is the origin of the people behind this.

"Tell me about the specific situation." Lu Nanzhi picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of the steaming Longjing tea.

Xu Beiting explained the matter in detail: "A year ago, Xue Ningtang came to negotiate with me, hoping to buy this shop with 120 taels. At that time, we could only live on this shop. How could it be sold, so I firmly opposed it. Outright refusal."

"I didn't expect Xue Ningtang to threaten me. If I insist on not selling, I will do something to me. My shop was smashed that night." Xu Beiting clenched his fists, with an expression of pain and anger on his face, It looked extremely hideous.

After listening to Xu Beiting's narration, Lu Nanzhi frowned deeply, and asked in silence for a moment, "What happened later? Didn't you report to the police?"

"I knew I couldn't beat them, so I chose to compromise. I thought they would just let me go." In the end, Xu Beiting looked up at Lu Nanzhi with guilt.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I'll go to them tomorrow. As long as they're willing to let it go, I can do anything." Xu Beiting didn't want to affect Lu Nanzhi, and now he is willing to bow his head and admit his mistake.

"Don't be impulsive, Xue Ningtang is not coming for you this time, but for me. Now that the rouge shop is so prosperous, Xue Ningtang has already felt the crisis, so they will make another move." Lu Nanzhi shook his head to dissuade.

Although she doesn't like trouble, she is not afraid of trouble.

"But..." Xu Beiting hesitated, he didn't want to involve Lu Nanzhi.

"It's okay, I will be careful and avoid conflicts with them as much as possible." Lu Nanzhi said with a light smile.

Xu Beiting looked at Lu Nanzhi cautiously, lowered his head and asked softly, "Don't you blame me?"

"There is nothing to blame you for this. The owner of Xue Ningtang is not a good thing. Even if I buy other shops, I will still become a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. You don't have to feel too guilty."

Seeing the guilty man, Lu Nanzhi raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

A warm current rose in Xu Beiting's heart. He had never seen such a kind and beautiful girl like Lu Nanzhi. She always gave people a gentle and kind feeling, very comfortable and warm.

He nodded heavily again, with moist eyes and said: "As long as there is a need for me, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Lu Nanzhi smiled slightly, his smile was gentle and moving.

Xu Beiting watched her leaving back, but couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lu Nanzhi, I will do my best to protect you!

The next morning.

The sun shines down on the eaves, and the warm sunlight shines into the room.

Lu Nanzhi sat up and stretched. Since coming here, it was the first time that she lived such a comfortable life, which made her a little unaccustomed.

I am used to being busy on weekdays, and suddenly I am so free that I don't know what to do.

After breakfast, she found Lu Qinghe running out in a sneaky manner. Feeling that something was wrong, she secretly followed.

Watching Lu Qinghe walking towards the capital city, he turned several turns and then entered an alley. After looking at the surrounding environment, he found that it was very close to the rouge shop.

Just as she was hesitating whether to follow in, a woman with a maid passed by her. The familiar scent made her widen her eyes suddenly, looking at the woman in the veil, and watched them enter the alley.

Lu Nanzhi still couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and walked in.

In the alley, Lu Qinghe looked at the person in front of him tremblingly, "I was discovered, and the formula was not obtained, I, I will not cooperate with you."

Liu Qingyan immediately became angry when she heard these words, and said angrily: "What a waste, I can't do this little thing well!"

Lu Qinghe didn't dare to say anything, looked down at the ground, and said in a humble tone: "Please let me go, please?"

"Let go of you?"

Liu Qingyan raised her head and laughed loudly, approaching Lu Qinghe step by step, raised her chin, squeezed her chin fiercely and cursed: "Since you are useless now, why do I still keep you, to make things difficult for me?"

Lu Qinghe's eyes widened in horror, and he shook his head in fear: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

"Snapped--"

Liu Qingyan raised her hand and slapped her hard, and said in a fierce tone: "You don't deserve to dirty my hands."

Lu Nanzhi leaned against the cold wall, listening to the intermittent conversations inside.

Just when the maid next to Liu Qingyan was about to make a move, Lu Nanzhi accidentally stepped on a branch and made a crisp sound.

She held her mouth in a panic, and was about to move away, when a shadow enveloped her and quickly dragged her into the alley.

"Ah! Who... um!"

Just as Lu Nanzhi wanted to call for help, his mouth was covered, and he could only whimper and make a sound of 'huh'.

Lu Qinghe was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. Seeing Liu Qingyan looking outside, he scrambled and hid in a corner.

Lu Nanzhi was slammed on the ground, his palms were scratched, and there was a slight pain in his palms.

The moment Liu Qingyan saw Lu Nanzhi, a trace of astonishment and shock flashed in her eyes, and then she became vicious.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding in the dark and eavesdropping?"

Lu Nanzhi didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Are you the owner of Xue Ning Tang?"

A look of surprise flashed in Liu Qingyan's eyes, as if she didn't expect her identity to be recognized.

"Please let me go, you don't want the formula, the person who developed the formula is here." Lu Qinghe took this opportunity to betray Lu Nanzhi in order to save his life.

It would be great if they could get rid of Lu Nanzhi with the help of the two of them.

When Liu Qingyan heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and squatted down next to Lu Nanzhi, "You are the one who bought the rouge shop?"

"So what?" Seeing that his identity had been found out, Lu Nanzhi didn't continue to hide it.

Liu Qingyan burst into laughter suddenly, originally she planned to do it herself, but now it seems that there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

Since she delivered it to the door herself, don't blame her for being rude.

"Take people away." Liu Qingyan ordered to the maid behind her.

"What are you going to do, this is at the feet of the emperor, aren't you afraid that I will report to the officials?" Lu Nanzhi shouted angrily.

Liu Qingyan chuckled, narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't want to do anything, just invite you to my place as a guest."

The little maid knocked Lu Nanzhi unconscious with a palm, and forced Lu Qinghe to help him into the carriage together, and then the four of them drove away in the carriage.
