Hong Hua smiled and persuaded: “I know that the young lady is upset in her heart! Actually, there is no need to be like that! If this family is good, let’s stay there. If they are not good, we can just come back to this Shuangliu county by carriage. I looked outside along the way, this area is quite wealthy! With our, master and servant’s skills, it won’t be difficult to find a job. When we make money, we can pay back Manager Su. Where the young lady wants to go, this servant will accompany! This is what I’ve thought since the beginning, I don’t think Manager Su is the type to break his promise.”

Su Jin shook her head: “I only said that to increase my bargaining chip! Manager Su saved me and since I have come all this way, it would be hard for me to leave for a while. It’s just that my heart… is very unwilling.”

“Miss, we have already left Nanxun, why are you thinking so much!” Hong Hua said in a sad, low voice. “Although we all know that it was that bitch surnamed He that was behind that attack— she has always been jealous of Miss— we have no evidence! We can’t avenge this grudge!”

“I know!” Su Jin said bitterly, the smile on her mouth becoming more and more unpleasant: “Why is god so unfair! Other’s harm people with impunity, gaining both fame and fortune but the victim almost loses their life and has to leave their hometown!”

Hong Hua felt the same. If you didn’t know who your enemy was, the difficulty was how to guard against them. But if you knew but had no evidence, you could only watch her act proud and arrogant! This was the most uncomfortable feeling.

It was impossible not to think deeply about it and the more you thought about it, the more you went crazy.

Neither of them were willing to forget about this. After thinking about it, Hong Hua reluctantly smiled: “Miss, it’s just that the right time has not come! Look at her, one day she will get her retribution. Although god is unfair, they are not merciless. Miss, isn’t it just going to another village? At that time, this slave was almost crying to death with no way to help but who knew Manager Su would lend a helping hand! Although he saved Miss because of Miss’ ability, saving a life is saving a life. And Manager Su has treated Miss with nothing but politeness and courtesy, never pretending to be a savior or acting improperly. Miss, since there is such a manager, his master can’t be too bad, so don’t worry!”

Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Hong Hua say this series of things. Shaking her head lightly, she grinned: “You, your mouth is getting more and more eloquent! It’s like you are smeared with honey! Alright, I’ll listen to you. Hehe, my heart really feels relieved!”

“That’s right!” Hong Hui smiled: “Miss, let go of your worries, let’s live life again! As for that bitch, hmph! Let’s wait and see if she has any good result! The young lady must relax her mind and live a long life!”

“You, girl!” Su Jing laughed again.

The master and servant looked at each other and felt warm in their hearts.

Su Jin had no idea that by random chance, she had come to Yuhe county and entered the Lian house to become the first weaver to spin cotton. In the future, she would one day go to the capital and be received by the empress, commended by the court, and gain so much glory that she would become a landmark figure in the textile industry. She would even be recorded in the annals of history and local chronicles.

One day, she would return to Nanxun in fine clothes, welcomed and admired by thousands of people. He Si, who had framed her out of jealousy, had long ago lifted a stone and dropped it on her own foot when she repeated the same old trick of framing another weaver who was more skilled than her. Her life would end in ruin, living in an abandoned temple and begging for a living. When she saw Su Jun return, she would become so stimulated that she’d go crazy, running into the water and dying.

By then, Su Jin would have no more hatred in her heart, only infinite emotion. She would order people to bury He Si properly.

For now, Hong Hua had successfully persuaded Su Jin and her heart had settled down.

Suddenly, Hong Hua blinked, smiling shyly at Su Jun. Lowering her voice, her lips curled into a slow smile: “Miss, Manager Su looks very good. He’s well educated, stable, handsome, and polite. This is very rare! Ah, he’s also very nice to the young lady, do you think—
 

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Su Jin scolded her immediately, not waiting for her to finish. She frowned, saying: “Hong Hua, Manager Su is my lifesaver. I am very grateful and will repay him in the future, there is nothing else! You don’t talk nonsense here! If you ask around about this, wouldn’t it embarrass me to death in the future?”

Hong Hua stuck her tongue out and hurriedly smiled, begging for mercy to express her mistake. However, she couldn’t help but add: “Miss really isn’t thinking about it? Miss is so young and outstanding, you and Manager Su are really—”

“Silence!” Su Jin’s face changed abruptly and her voice sharpened. Serious, she said: “Do not say this again! If we cause discord in Manager’s Su family, then it will be my sin!”

Hong Hua was taken aback. Bowing her head, she sighed softly: “Yes, Miss, this slave will never dare to say this again!”

Thinking about it, Manager Su’s age was such that how could he not have a wife and a few children running around? Her lady could not be a concubine.

Seeing her like this, Su Jin said softly: “You can joke to a certain degree but you can’t talk about some things, understand? It’s getting late and we have to be on the road tomorrow. Let’s rest!”

The other woman answered with a smile and helped Su Jin return to bed before falling asleep on the couch.

After breakfast, the group of four carriages rushed towards Dafang village in Yuhe county.

When they arrived, it was about noon. The area seemed much cleaner than Shuangliu county, which was very prosperous and crowded with pedestrians and cars.

The group stopped at a noodle restaurant for lunch and planned to head back out as soon as they finished eating.

Although Su Zi Ji had sent a letter stating that he would arrive in the next few days, no one could guess their itinerary so accurately. It would be troublesome to ask Madam Zhang to cook for so many people if they ended up being late.

When everyone was settled in the resturant, Su Zi Ji ordered two people to go to the market and buy some food to bring back.

Because they knew they were coming, they had likely prepared rice and noodles but it was hard to say if there would be other dishes.

Su Zi Ji skillfully directed them to buy meat, tofu, dried tofu, dried fish, seasonal vegetables, and a few others. Where was there any sign of him being an official? He was clearly a steward! If his former colleagues could see him, they would be so surprised their mouths would be wide enough to swallow an entire egg!

After buying the food and putting it in the cart, Su Zi Ji and the two workers returned to the restaurant and sat down to quickly eat their noodles before hurrying back to Dafang village.

Compared with Su Zi Ji’s excitement like a tired bird returning home, Su Jin’s heart sighed twice. Cui Ni, who had grown up with the prosperity of Jiangnan, couldn’t help but be speechless when she saw where they were headed. Whispering, she laughed: “If it wasn’t for Manager Su’s face and that the salary is not low, as well as the good reputation of Manager Su’s master, even if you killed me, I wouldn’t come to this kind of place!”

“This is it? This is all just countryside! Ah, I really don’t know if Manager Su’s master’s family is as good as they seem!”

“What are you afraid of?” Another girl asked, “We are not ones who have never seen the world, it’s not so easy to bully us!”

“That’s right!” Said another, “We just signed a contract, we’re not selling ourselves!”
