Although Zhao Jie was dissatisfied with Zhou Yan's behavior, when he walked in and saw Su Xiaoxiao's embarrassed appearance, he still pursed his lips and handed the handkerchief to Su Xiaoxiao unbearably: "These unruly people are too rampant, aren't they?

your problem."

Zhou Yan:……

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and took the handkerchief and wiped her face clean. Her mind and eyes were filled with the scene of the chaos in the post house just now and Zhou Yan leading the officers and soldiers to rescue her.

My cousin is not at the county magistrate’s office? Why is he back again?

My cousin is also thinking about her, right?

Su Xiaoxiao called up the system and wanted to check Zhou Yan's favorability, but she didn't expect that it was Zhao Jie's favorability that was added.

As for the Zhou Banquet, it was still like a black mist, and no changes could be seen.

It took a day to finally calculate the losses of Jinshui Posthouse. Su Xiaoxiao spent half a day on disaster relief, including seven stones of rice and eighteen bags of fine noodles. However, Jinshui Posthouse was robbed, and almost all the belongings inside were wiped out. The warehouse

The one hundred and fifty kilograms of rice and one hundred and seventy bags of fine noodles inside were all gone.

The people who interrogated the rioters only recovered thirty kilograms of rice and fifty-eight bags of fine noodles. More importantly, many of the guest officials in the post house were injured, and all the belongings in all the rooms were missing. Some of them took advantage of this incident.

Asking for random prices.

Su Xiaoxiao was helpless. However, she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. In order to restore her favorability, which was not as good as Lin Xing's, she could only spend all her savings.

However, she had only traveled through time for a few months, and her accumulated wealth was not even one-tenth of the loss.

The Jinshui Inn and restaurant were destroyed again, and the priceless medicinal materials she grew were mixed into the soil, and they could not be sold at a good price for a while.

Seeing that she couldn't get out the money and was about to be torn apart, Su Xiaoxiao looked terrified and only backed away timidly.

Her watery eyes looked around wildly, but Zhou Yan and Zhao Jie only waved their folding fans and said something without giving her a look. At the critical moment, Li Ke came over.

He threw a heavy money bag over, containing ten taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver, which was enough for Su Xiaoxiao to survive this crisis.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Ke and then at Zhou Yan. She was silent for a long time. Seeing that Zhou Yan really didn't care about her, she gave up completely and pretended to push the money bag back.

"His Royal Highness, this silver is too valuable. Xiao Xiao really can't afford it. Xiao Xiao will find a way to get the money. Please take it back, Your Highness."

Su Xiaoxiao looked innocent, which made Li Ke feel even more itchy.

He shook his head and said sincerely: "This money is what I insist on giving to you. I have followed my father since I was a child and have been influenced by it. Naturally, I don't want to see beautiful women working hard. The poor mountains and rivers of Cangzhou are full of unruly people. If you are willing, you can do it in the future.

Stay with me and I can give you the best no matter what."

Li Ke's "sudden" confession shocked Su Xiaoxiao. She covered her lips in surprise. She subconsciously looked at Zhou Yan from the corner of her eye and saw that he remained unchanged. She gritted her teeth in her heart, but her face still showed a pure and frightened look: "Prince

What does this mean, Your Highness?"

"Su Xiaoxiao, are you willing to follow me?" Li Ke asked her.

Su Xiaoxiao was startled, as if she was really thinking, and she said quietly: "Your Highness, I am in trouble now. Did you give me so much money as a blackmail, or out of pity and unconditional help?"

"Of course it's the latter." Seeing that the beauty misunderstood what he meant, Li Ke pointed his fingers to the sky, "From the moment we met until now, I have never meant to humiliate you with money. I have never been so moved by a woman.

Even if you reject me today, this money is voluntarily given to you by me, so there is no need for any psychological burden."

Li Ke looked sincere, as if he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't believe it. He put the money bag into Wang Rui's hand, raised his chin and asked her to take the money to settle the matter.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled, as if she was moved by Li Ke, but also seemed to be worried. After hesitating for a long time, she asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, are you really going to be good to me all your life?"

Li Ke nodded as if he saw hope: "It's absolutely true!"

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao pushed Li Ke's hand away and said: "Your Highness, I have met many people in the post house. You are a royal family, how can I be worthy of being your concubine? Even if you promise me, I will

You won’t trust men easily, too many women have been deceived by men.”

Li Ke said hurriedly: "You can stay with me and I won't touch you. If you feel that my attitude towards you will change in the future, I can also let you go."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Ke with wide eyes, but she didn't expect that Li Ke would give in so far.

She nodded shyly: "Then it's agreed, you must never force me to do anything I don't like."

"No." Li Ke's heart was filled with joy, and even Zhou Yan was a little pleased with him. Since this is Su Xiaoxiao's cousin, he can let him go for the time being.

Li Ke walked past Zhou Yan and bumped into Zhou Yan hard with his shoulder. Zhou Yan's figure swayed and he met Li Ke's face. He was surprised. He turned his face sideways and unexpectedly met Su Xiaoxiao's crimson face.

Only then did it become clear.

Personal choices are personal destiny. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao chose Li Ke to solve the problem. That was also her idea.

Zhou Yan looked away, but he didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to rush forward and block his way, explaining: "Cousin, it's not what you think. His Royal Highness is actually..."

Zhou Yan shook his head and put a folding paper fan between the two of them: "Your choice has nothing to do with me, cousin. Just think it's good for you."

Zhou Yan's attitude made Su Xiaoxiao realize that she and Zhou Yan were just distant cousins, and Zhou Yan could only use his feelings for her.

She nodded and quickly adjusted her mood: "I understand, cousin."

Nan Chen came to invite Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao followed him out. This time she left without bumping into Zhou Yan again.

A total of thirty-three people were imprisoned in the Jinshui Station incident. These people had normal family backgrounds and were far from being able to receive rice porridge.

The names of these people were published on the list, which also acted as a deterrent. Lin Xing also made it clearer when he served porridge again. They were now in strict order, and he was very grateful to Lin Xing.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at this place steadily not far away, checking their hearts for their increasing favorability towards Lin Xing.

She felt cold in her heart. She had done so many good things for Jinshui Town and for the entire Cangzhou, but these people couldn't see it. Lin Xing only had to give them some brown rice porridge and cornmeal without any pain, and they would be grateful.

Do they deserve to eat these things?
