Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’

eft, he stood in front of Chen Xing and said towards him, “Trouble the Little Boss, today I want to order the soft bean curd rice, with just a little chillies as usual.”

 

“Okay!” Chen Xing handily followed his instructions and gave him a bowl of sauce with less chillies.

 

While Chen Xing took the food, the youth’s gaze first fell on Chen Xing’s face, which was slightly red from working and then crossed to Qiu Jiu, who was also busy next to him, his eyes flashed and he asked with some confusion, “Who is this?”

 

Hearing that question, Chen Xing was just about to tell him that this was his younger brother (Xiongdi) but unexpectedly Qiu Jiu opened his mouth first, “My family gongzi is Chen Xing’s husband, and I am my young master’s servant.”

 

The youth obviously stared blankly for a moment, then looked at the somewhat embarrassed Chen Xing, his tone took on a bit of disbelief, “Little boss has actually gotten married?”

Chen Xing didn’t know how to answer, he was considered married according to law, so he could only nod awkwardly, “Yes, that’s right.
it’s just that my husband’s health is not good and he doesn’t come out often, so I don’t mention it much.”

 

A few moments of disappointment surfaced on the youth’s face and after receiving the soft bean curd rice handed over by Chen Xing, he went to find a seat to eat.

 

Qiu Jiu looked at the disappointed youth and then at Chen Xing who was enthusiastically serving rice to the next customer.
In his heart, he thought to himself, luckily his young master had asked him to come here, or else there was no telling how many more such people were spying on Chen Xing when they could not see.

 

But soon, Qiu Jiu was torn again about whether to tell his young master about this kind of situation.
Forget it, let’s wait until I get back!

 

Both of them worked together for two hour to sell out all the meals, and as they finished sorting out all the things that needed to be cleaned and were about to go back to Gu mansion for lunch, Chen Xing suddenly looked at Qiu Jiu and said, “Let’s go to the grocery shop first.”

 

Qiu Jiu had no objection to this, but still a little curious, “What’s the point of going to the grocery shop?”

 

Chen Xing looked a little embarrassed, “I want to buy some red beans and glutinous rice to make red bean and rice flour sponge cake, so when Gu Gongzi is hungry while waiting for us at home, he can eat some to pad his stomach.
Like this, he won’t be hungry, which is not good for his stomach.”

 

Listening to Chen Xing’s speculation, Qiu Jiu finally couldn’t help but ask, “Chen Xing, why are you so kind to my family’s young master?”

 

Chen Xing blushed and stammered in his speech, “I think Gu Gongzi is a good person.
He took me in even though he was in such a difficult situation himself.
He even lent me money to do business.
Without his help, I would probably be homeless and wandering on the streets now.”

 

Looking at Chen Xing who had a sincere face, Qiu Jiu suddenly felt a little guilty.

Together they went to the grocery shop on the next street.
Qiu Jiu stood guard by the wheelbarrow outside the shop while Chen Xing went in and told the shopkeeper what he wanted to buy.

 

Just as Chen Xing finished telling the shopkeeper what he needed and how much of each item he needed, then the shop manager ordered the shop assistant to weigh the items, there was suddenly a loud sound of gong not far away.

 

The pedestrians on the street were attracted by the sound and looked towards the place where the noise was coming from, only to see two yamen officials, one carrying a gong and drum while walking and the other shouting after his companion had finished hit the gong and the drum, “The Lai Xin family has been declare as guilty.
The county magistrate has ordered that if anyone has been bullied and insulted by his family, they can come to the yamen to ask for justice, anyone who has had their assets seized by force and can show the evidence, the county magistrate will uphold the justice for you!”

 

As the two of them banged the gong and walked along the street, the people who heard what they were saying all began to talk.

 

Chen Xing, who was still a bit surprised, was standing at the counter waiting for the work to be done, then heard the shopkeeper inside the counter say, filled with righteous indignation, “That Lai Shiye’s family is no good, they have done so many harmful and outrageous acts in the past by having the power and influence in their hands.
The new County Magistrate is a good official, he will definitely get rid of the evil people for us.
The private adviser Lai will definitely be beheaded! ”

 

Only when he heard the shopkeeper’s words as he gnashed his teeth and talked, did Chen Xing suddenly react to the fact that the people those officials were talking about were actually Lai Jiu and his family.
He did not expect them to be dealt with so soon.
After taking the things he wanted to buy from the shopkeeper and paying for them, Chen Xing still walked out in a bit of a trance.

 

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing’s somewhat odd expression and was a little puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

 

Chen Xing stared at the backs of those two officials and said what he had heard, “This county magistrate’s method is really ‘pass like thunder and move like the wind’1[雷厉风行: with the power of a thunderbolt and the speed of lightning—(carry out orders, policies, etc.) vigorously and speedily; swift and decisive reaction].
Lai Shiye’s family is going to be punished soon.”

 

Qiu Jiu smiled and when Chen Xing didn’t see him, he said with cold and indifferent eyes, “Maybe it’s because he did too many bad deeds in the past.
Everyone was expecting him to die, that’s why he was punished so quickly.
It’s possible that when his family is executed, this town will be even more lively and there might even be people cheering and celebrating.”

 

When Chen Xing heard what Qiu Jiu said , he always felt something strange.
The moment he looked back at Qiu Jiu, he saw that he still had the same cheerful smile as before, so he thought he was overly concerned, “Let’s go back ba! Gu Gongzi is still waiting for us to go back for lunch.”

 

Qiu Jiu looked at him, smiled and nodded his head in response.
