Shopkeeper Xu’s face turned ashen. He could only bow to Xiaoxiao guiltily.

Xiaoxiao knew that He Ruhuan was someone who could make the decision in the restaurant. She smiled and nodded at Shopkeeper Xu, indicating that she did not blame him. However, she retracted her expression when she faced He Ruhuan. “In that case, it’s fine not to do this business.”

He Ruhuan was stunned. She didn’t expect Ning Xiaoxiao to be so unyielding, but on second thought, she looked enlightened. “Don’t even think about asking Tianci and aunt for help. The Li Family’s rule is that married women can’t interfere in your maternal family’s matters. Aunt will definitely not help you.”

Shopkeeper Xu sighed and explained, “The county magistrate’s wife and our Boss’s father are siblings. They’re both from the Li Family of Jiangnan.”

Xiaoxiao didn’t know who the “Li Family” was, but if she used the “Li Family of Jiangnan” to introduce him, he could only be the richest man in Jiangnan.

So that was the case. Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Liu’s Boss was the eldest grandson of the Li Family, Li Muyan. The Fragrance Restaurant and Ruyi Clothing Shop were both the Li Family’s businesses.

She sorted out the relationship between the Shen Family and the Li Family in her mind, but He Ruhuan urged impatiently, “Have you thought it through?”

Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion. “Didn’t I just say that I don’t want to do this business with you? Why are you still here? Could it be that you want to buy and sell it forcefully on the county magistrate’s territory?”

Since it was not appropriate to flare up here, she glared at Xiaoxiao and left.

Shopkeeper Xu was filled with apology. “I’m sorry, Miss Ning. I’ll talk to Miss Cousin again.”

Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Do you really think she’s someone who can reason with you? She might think that I’m using you to plead for leniency. Shopkeeper Xu, I’m a prideful person. It’s better if you don’t.”

Shopkeeper Xu knew that she was understanding and did not want him to offend his master. He could only sigh. “Fortunately, I haven’t mentioned the crystal prawn dumplings.”

Xiaoxiao asked him, “Can she interfere with the cloth shop’s matters too?”

Shopkeeper Xu shook his head. “Shopkeeper Liu has a fiery personality. Other than Boss, no one dares to interfere in her matters. Not to mention Miss Cousin, even First Madam won’t interfere.”

At this point, he explained to Xiaoxiao, “First Madam is our Boss’s mother. Miss He is First Madam’s niece. She has been staying in the residence recently and helping First Madam manage the shop.”

At the mention of “managing the shop”, his face twisted uncontrollably. His heart was filled with ridicule— What a waste of time! She might as well not care!

Xiaoxiao did not interfere in other people’s family matters. It was fine as long as she knew that it would not affect the earnings on the fifth day. “Shopkeeper Xu, don’t look for her even more. If she remembers about the cloth shop and insists on interfering, 1 will lose out.”

Shopkeeper Xu sighed and apologized repeatedly. It was not easy for Xiaoxiao to persuade him to leave. She turned around and saw that her two brothers’ expressions were dark.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t be angry. Not all influential people are like this. Perhaps the higher the status of a person, the more they read the sages’ books. Instead, they are more polite. Those who are so arrogant are just clowns.”

Ning Erlang recalled and clapped his hands. “Sigh, your words are similar to what the county magistrate said. Sister, why do 1 feel that you’re smarter than me sometimes?”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. “Because I’m studying with Big Brother. You keep running away!”

Ning Erlang immediately lowered his head and looked into the distance.

Everyone had their own ambitions. Second Brother’s ambition was not to study. After trying a few times and realizing that he was indeed not cut out for this, Xiaoxiao did not force him anymore. On the other hand, Big Brother was persistent and would give him a small lesson whenever he had the chance.

He originally thought that he would hide if he could, but after today, he decided to calm down. Even if he was not cut out for it, he would not be able to get a scholarly honor. At least he was smarter and more capable. The next time someone bullied his sister, he would not have to remain silent.

Although Ning Dalang did not say anything, he clenched his fists under his sleeves..
