HCB Chapter 468 Reciprocity
Chapter 468 Reciprocity
At this moment, Cheng Yun'er was only thinking about herself. She didn't think about Xiang Ling who took the blame for her at all, and she didn't care about her family at all.
Cheng Yun'er was tired, so she sat down on a stool. There was a complete set of tea sets on the table. She poured herself a glass of water and drank it.
Looking at the mess on the ground, he felt a lot more relieved, but his hatred towards Li Xiaoxiao increased a little more. This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this.
When the first plan failed, Cheng Yuner thought of another one. Li Xiaoxiao, aren't your shops what you care about most?
Then I'll give you a surprise to save you from being so lawless.
When Xiangling was away, Cheng Yuner temporarily promoted a second-class maid working outside. This maid seemed quite smart.
She was called into the room. The maid, named Xiao He, looked at Cheng Yun'er's gloomy face and the mess on the floor, and timidly bowed to Cheng Yun'er.
Cheng Yun'er looked her up and down, then frowned and waved to her.
Xiao He moved forward a little, and Cheng Yun'er whispered a few words in her ear.
"Go ahead, but don't leave any traces when you do it, otherwise your whole family will die together. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely."
"Yes, Miss. I will do my best." Xiao He retreated carefully, and when she closed the door, she found that the back of her clothes was wet.
She had also heard about Xiang Ling's affairs. She had always envied Xiang Ling, thinking that since she could be with the young lady, everyone in the mansion would have to give her face. Even Cheng Kun would respectfully call her Sister Xiang Ling when they saw her.
Even so, so what? He's still going to jail, and who knows what's going to happen when he gets out.
Today, she had climbed to the position of head maid, but before she could be happy, Cheng Yun'er gave her such an order, which scared her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat?
Considering that Xiang Ling was put in jail because she didn't do a good job, he suddenly felt uneasy, and he had to do what Cheng Yun'er asked him to do.
That night, something happened to Li Xiaoxiao's shops. The cause of the accidents was arson in the middle of the night.
Four restaurants were set on fire at the same time. The main branch of Longmen Restaurant was spared because a night watchman happened to pass by when the fire was set.
The other three were not so lucky and all suffered some damage. Among them, the restaurant managed by Ergou was the most seriously burned. By the time the fire was put out, most of it had been burned and was basically ruined.
Li Xiaoxiao's rouge shop was also set on fire, but because it was located on a busy street with many people, it was discovered in time and there were no major problems.
At dawn, Li Xiaoxiao got the news that the person who came was Ergou, who knelt down in front of Li Xiaoxiao with a thud.
"Boss, I'm sorry for not being able to take care of the shop." Ergou was a grateful man. He knew that everything he had today was because of Li Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, how could he, an orphan, settle down in Beijing?
So he was so upset about what happened last night that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. It was all his fault for being careless. If he had been watching in the shop, how could such a thing have happened?
After knowing what happened last night, Li Xiaoxiao felt distressed but did not blame Ergou too much. After all, she was the one who offended someone.
Tiancai and Cheng Yun'er had a falling out during the day, and several shops were set on fire at the same time at night. It was obvious who did it.
Since Cheng Yun'er is so sincere, she should return her a big gift. As the saying goes, reciprocity is the norm. If someone has taken the initiative, wouldn't it be rude if she doesn't do anything?
Li Xiaoxiao looked at each shop one by one with a heavy heart, and he felt like there was a lump in his throat.
Listening to Xiao He's report, Cheng Yun'er smiled happily, leaning leisurely on the recliner with her eyes closed, and a maid was gently fanning her with a folding fan.
Even if Li Xiaoxiao lets you know that I was the one who did it, what can you do? You'll just be angry.
Just be angry. No matter what you do in the future, I will not let you have it so easy. As long as you are in the capital, under my nose, you can only behave yourself.
"Xiao He did a great job, go to the butler to claim your reward."
"These are what I should do. Thank you for the reward, young lady." Because Xiang Ling was in front of her, she was not sure when doing the things. Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good. Xiao He's heart was finally at ease.
"Follow me, you will get benefits in the future." Cheng Yun'er opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao He who was kneeling on the ground.
"I will serve you wholeheartedly, young lady." Xiao He was overjoyed and kowtowed to her several times to show his loyalty.
"Well, go down." Cheng Yun'er ordered in a calm voice.
"Thank you, Miss." Xiao He was delighted and went directly to the housekeeper to receive the ten taels of silver as a reward.
Cheng Yun'er was extremely happy the whole day. She felt happy whenever she thought of Li Xiaoxiao's dejected look.
This is just an appetizer, there’s more to come, so just wait patiently, Li Xiaoxiao.
When she was in a good mood, her appetite was naturally good too. Cheng Yun'er usually ate in her room and rarely ate with her parents.
Today was no exception. She asked the kitchen to make an extra old duck soup. This soup is nourishing and beautifying, and she must eat it every few days.
Xiao He arranged the dishes for her and she served a bowl of duck soup. Cheng Yuner picked up the soup spoon and took a small sip. It tasted delicious and appetizing.
Then I took a few more sips and felt that today's duck soup was different from usual. It seemed to taste better than before. Could it be because I was in a good mood? This must be the reason.
After eating and drinking, Cheng Yun'er asked the maid to clean up and read a book for a while before she prepared to rest.
In ancient times, there were no entertainment activities at night, and most people went to bed early. Cheng Yun'er was no exception. For some reason, she felt dizzy tonight.
My body seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and itchy for no apparent reason. I wanted to reach out and scratch it, but I didn't know where exactly, so I just lay down on the bed in a daze.
I don’t know how long it took. I seemed to be asleep, but also seemed not to be asleep. When I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness.
"Xiangling, Xiangling." Cheng Yun'er called twice, but no one responded outside.
This damn girl must have fallen asleep again, just when she was about to call for help again.
She heard the sound of a door opening outside, and then heard footsteps coming towards her.
"Miss, I'm Xiao He. Xiangling is not at home now." The person who came was Xiao He, who spoke to her softly through the curtains.
Cheng Yun'er then remembered that Xiang Ling was thrown into jail.
She stood up without saying a word, and walked out without putting on any clothes, wearing only her undershirt. Xiao He was slightly stunned. What happened to the young lady? He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow her obediently.
