Chapter 330 Come to ask for marriage
"Don't worry about her for now. Find an excuse to fire her after three days." Li Xiaoxiao considered it for a while.
She did this not out of any noble sentiment. People were about to poison her, and she was not a saint. She did this to avoid alerting the enemy.
Si Wei Zhong was a very cautious person, so this was the only way to avoid arousing his suspicion and making him mistakenly believe that their family had been poisoned, thus letting down his guard.
Things like revenge must be taken as soon as possible. That night, Li Xiaoxiao came to the Marquis' Mansion again and arrived at Si Wei Zhong's residence with ease.
After what happened last time, it was obvious that the man guarding the door knew kung fu. Li Xiaoxiao sneered at this and said, "Even if you have a few more people, I can still knock you down easily."
It was late at night, and two people were seen dozing off and guarding the door. Li Xiaoxiao approached one of them gently from behind, took out something from his arms, and flashed it in front of the man.
The next second, the man fell limply. Li Xiaoxiao quickly caught his fallen figure and slowly put him on the ground. There was no sound at all during the whole process.
The other person did the same thing and quickly took care of the two people. Li Xiaoxiao opened the door skillfully. Wang Qiuhe had gone to Chengyang County at this time, so Si Wei Zhong was the only one in the room.
"Li Xiaoxiao, you bitch, I'm going to kill you." The sudden voice scared Li Xiaoxiao. Could it be that Si Wei Zhong discovered her?
After listening quietly for a while, she realized that Si Wei Zhong on the bed didn't move at all. It turned out that he was dreaming. How much must he hate her that he wanted to kill her in his dreams.
Knowing that he was not awake, Li Xiaoxiao felt relieved and walked to his bedside, looking down at him. At this time, Si Wei Zhong did not seem to be sleeping well, as if he would wake up at any time.
This is also thanks to Li Xiaoxiao. Last time before she left, she gave Si Wei Zhong a big gift and gave him an acupuncture needle on his head. Since you are here now, you might as well strengthen his constitution. Insomnia and nightmares are just precursors, and you will suffer more later.
Li Xiaoxiao quickly gave Si Wei Zhong a few more needles on his head. Si Wei Zhong, who was sleeping, didn't notice anything and was still sleeping soundly.
Next, it was time to get down to business. Lin Xiaoxiao looked around Si Wei Zhong's bed, and finally locked onto a corner, and put a piece of transparent paste-like object into it.
It looks like handmade soap and exudes a faint fragrance. This thing is similar to the current aromatherapy, and it will become smaller and smaller over time, and finally disappear.
Li Xiaoxiao is still very confident about this thing. Even if someone finds it, they will not be able to detect what ingredients are inside it.
This thing can be used for about a week, and she will send another one when the time comes. As for its use, Li Xiaoxiao is just using his own method to fight back. But is this thing more powerful than the medicine Si Wei Zhong gave her?
After putting the things away, Li Xiaoxin left contentedly. He also restored the door to its original appearance so that no one could tell that anyone had been there.
Three days later, when Si Wei Zhong learned that the cook had been fired, he was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand heavily to the ground. He was really a person who could not do anything useful but only caused trouble.
But after all, they had been given the medicine for a few days, and it would probably have some effect on their bodies. He then sighed and thought it was not easy to find such a cook. If he wanted to continue poisoning them, he would have to find someone new.
Si Wei Zhong didn't think that Li Xiao Xiao and the others had discovered anything, because the servants reported that the cook was clumsy and was fired by the housekeeper of the Si Mansion.
So Li Xiaoxiao doesn't know yet. Humph, let you live a few more days for now: "Find out carefully and see if you can find another suitable person to continue drugging."
"Yes, sir." The servant responded and withdrew.
At this time, Si Wei Zhong was the only one in the room. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. He had a severe headache. He called a doctor, who said it was due to overwork and told him to have a good rest.
But as soon as I closed my eyes at night, I had nightmares. This went on for the whole night and I couldn’t sleep well at all. When I woke up the next morning, I had an even worse headache.
Li Xiaoxiao is now considered a wealthy woman. She got four thousand taels from Si Wei Zhong, plus one thousand taels from Nie Junfeng and one thousand taels from the restaurant's profit. Now she has a total of six thousand taels, which is enough to open a rouge shop.
She wants to open this rouge shop by herself. She has a small amount of cosmetics in the space. When the time comes, she can change the packaging and sell them specifically to the rich ladies in Beijing. She will definitely be able to fetch a good price.
Recently she has visited quite a few rouge shops. The things sold there are similar, including rouge, lipstick, blush, nail powder, hairpins and other products, which are basically related to women's decorations.
She had already chosen a location, which was on the most prosperous street in the capital, in a very good location. It was Si Chengxu who helped her find it.
Business at several restaurants is pretty good, which must have pissed Si Wei Zhong off to death.
"Young Miss." Li Xiaoxiao, who was busy calculating the accounts, suddenly heard someone calling her. She didn't need to guess who was calling her Young Miss in the whole capital.
"It is a great honor to have Miss Zhou visit our store today." Li Xiaoxiao looked up at her and teased.
"You are making fun of me again. Please help me think of a solution. I don't want to marry that man." Zhou Lingfei changed from her usual high spirits to a droopy face with an indescribable lonely look.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Xiaoxiao could see that something was wrong with her at a glance.
"It was my father who wanted to marry me to Nie Junfeng, the eldest son of Marquis Dingguo." Zhou Lingfei was about to cry when she mentioned this, and her voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
"Nie Junfeng?" Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but widen her eyes and raised her voice. How could a man like him be worthy of Zhou Lingfei? They were not the same kind of people at all.
"Why did your father betroth you to him? Did he come to propose to her?" Li Xiaoxiao quickly grasped the key to the incident. At the same time, he took her hand and led her upstairs. There were people coming and going in the lobby, so it was inconvenient to talk.
After going upstairs and closing the door, Zhou Lingfei could no longer hold back her tears, which began to fall one by one.
"Okay, crying won't solve the problem. Tell me what happened." Li Xiaoxiao pulled her to sit down and wiped away her tears considerately.
"My father called me over early this morning. I went there without knowing what was going on. When I got there, he said that the eldest son of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion came to propose marriage, and I refused at the time."
"But my father said that I'm not young anymore, and if I don't get married I'll be an old maid and won't be able to get married. He also said that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion will promise her the position of the main wife, and promised that Nie Junfeng will not take a concubine." Zhou Lingfei said with sobs.
He doesn't know how to take a concubine yet. Li Xiaoxiao just met the son of Marquis Dingguo a few days ago. From his appearance, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was overindulging in sexual activities.
Zhou Lingfei's father is the Censor. Is he so pedantic? It is impossible for a man who has been indulging in women for years before getting married to turn over a new leaf immediately after getting married.
"Didn't you go find your mother? She loves you so much, she wouldn't watch you jump into the fire pit."
