You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 54 Undercurrent: Xiao Yan is a bandit!

Bingbai's hands loosened the belt, and the soft fabric slid down, revealing Chu Bai's shoulders, which were rounder and more beautiful than a woman's...

Lin Zhaoyue's pupils shrank sharply, and her head was buzzing. Was he going to... serve her? Did he really think of himself as a virgin?

She didn't buy him to humiliate himself!

Lin Zhaoyue was so angry that her chest hurt. She quickly turned around and smashed the soup on the table to the ground:

"Put your clothes on and get out!"

The pure white clothes fell on the road. Chu Bai gathered the clothes together, his whole body stiff, and said pitifully in a low voice:

"Miss, are you looking down on Xiaobai? Xiaobai is clean, and this is all Xiaobai has!"

Lin Zhaoyue was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him any more:

"Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten to death with clubs!"

The boy was even more stubborn than her, his eyes were red, and he shouted desperately:

"Then Miss, just have me beaten to death!"

Lin Zhaoyue was really furious. She turned around and slapped him in the face:

"Do you know that if you stay in the Duke's Mansion you will really die!"

Chu Bai's face was slapped to the side, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still looked at her stubbornly:

"Chu Bai is not afraid of death as long as he can stay with the young lady! Young lady, you brought Chu Bai out of that place, you can't give up Chu Bai!"

Lin Zhaoyue met his extremely light pupils, and their eyes met. His extremely beautiful eyes were full of tears. He looked at her pitifully and stubbornly, which made her feel sorry for him.

A touch of emotion flashed across her eyes, and finally Lin Zhaoyue was defeated:

"Since you want to stay, then stay! Go to the butler tomorrow to get a job."

Put him in the backyard and let him take care of some chores, and he shouldn't be in any danger.

Seeing that Lin Zhaoyue agreed, Chu Bai looked at her with sparkling eyes:

"Thank you, Miss. I would like to be your personal bodyguard."

Lin Zhaoyue was stunned again. In her previous life, he became her personal bodyguard.

He also died to protect her!

At this moment, a certain trajectory overlaps with the previous life.

"No."

Lin Zhaoyue immediately refused!

She had managed to change his fate with great difficulty, and there was no way she would let him make the same mistake again.

"Can I be your coachman? Miss, I beg you!"

As he said this, he looked at her like a dog with his extremely beautiful eyes.

Lin Zhaoyue frowned, but finally nodded and reminded:

"But if you encounter danger, you should run away first and don't bother me."

Chu Bai was stunned by what she said, then nodded:

"Okay! I understand."

Lin Zhaoyue glanced at his clothes and said coldly:

"Put on your clothes and get out!"

Chu Bai lowered his eyes to look at his own figure, then looked at Lin Zhaoyue's calm face, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

Reaching out to tidy up his clothes, Chu Bai said:

"Miss, I will clean up those and then leave."

"No need, just let Chunhe come in and clean it up."

Chu Bai glanced at Lin Zhaoyue for a few times, and no longer insisted, nodding:

"Okay, then I'll go out!"

Before leaving, Lin Zhaoyue said seriously:

"Since you have chosen to stay in the Duke's Mansion, you must change all the bad things you learned outside."

When Chu Bai heard Lin Zhaoyue's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

So she knew about his tricks?

Chu Bai lowered his head and said obediently:

"Okay lady."

After leaving the yard, Chu Bai looked back, twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled. The obedience just now disappeared, and those extremely beautiful eyes revealed a hint of sharpness.

People who are too soft-hearted will be eaten by evil people one day...

……

When Lin Zhaoyue went to see the store the next day, Chu Bai followed her. However, after only a few days of learning, Chu Bai was already able to drive the carriage skillfully.

His learning ability is amazing!

Even Seventeen showed admiration for him.

The carriage stopped in front of a cloth shop. The waiter recognized the carriage from the Duke's Mansion and hurried into the house to inform the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, someone is coming from the boss's side."

When the shopkeeper heard that the boss was coming, he flicked his sleeves and quickly got up and went out to greet him.

When I went out, I saw the carriage of the Duke's Mansion parked at the door, and a pretty girl wearing a green double-breasted gown walked out of the carriage.

The girl's skirt is embroidered with simple patterns, and she exudes an otherworldly temperament in every move she makes.

Except for the shopkeeper, no one in the shop dared to look directly at the Dong family. They all bowed their heads and saluted.

The sound of light footsteps rang in my ears, and a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes appeared before my eyes, mostly covered by the hem of my skirt.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue, the shopkeeper smiled and said:

"I didn't know that the Second Miss came today and was negligent. I hope the Second Miss will forgive me."

Lin Zhaoyue led Qingzhu's carriage and smiled when she saw the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper Wen, there's no need to be so polite. I just had some free time today so I came to see how business is going these days."

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words, the shopkeeper looked worried:

"Second Miss, I'll tell you the truth. The cloth shop's business has not been very good recently. A group of foreign merchants came from somewhere in Beijing recently. Their silk is of high quality, but the price is less than 30% of ours. They are competing with us for market share and have snatched away all our customers. If we don't lower the price, the silk will just remain in our hands. And according to the current trend, the price of silk will only get lower and lower in the future. By then, it will not only be difficult for us, but also for the silkworm farmers. And it's not just the silk..."

"And grain and salt have been subject to malicious competition recently. Grain, salt, and silk are all strategic materials. Your Highness, these foreign merchants are not simple!"

Three handsome men were walking on the street, they were Xiao Yan, Shen Yanzhou and Feng Xin.

Because the three of them had such outstanding looks, they frequently attracted the attention of the crowd.

Shen Yanzhou occasionally cast a wink at those beauties, causing them to make sharp noises.

"Ahhhhhh! He looked at me, he looked at me..."

"It's obviously me that's looking at you..."

Shen Yanzhou was treated equally, and his eyes and eyebrows were all exposed.

Looking at their excited expressions, he stroked his chin and said proudly:

"It seems that it is safer to wear a mask when going out in the future."

Xiao Yun looked at his boastful appearance, a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes, and when he saw Qianweilou, he walked in.

Feng Xin rolled his eyes at Shen Yanzhou, who was attracting a lot of attention, and followed Xiao Yan's pace.

"Hey! Master... wait for me!"

When Shen Yanzhou arrived at Xiao Yan's private room, he saw him looking at a rice shop and walked over to say:

"That company is also one of the foreign merchants. The rice they sell is big and round, of good quality, but the price is half of the ordinary rice."

"The Maritime Customs Office doesn't care?"

Shen Yanzhou got angry when he heard this and said:

"I can control it, but I can't! They limit the time and quantity, and each person can only buy five kilograms. They take advantage of loopholes."

At this moment, a conflict broke out in the rice shop and a man in cloth was driven out.

The rice shop was not far from Qianweilou, and the three men were all very skilled and could hear and see their conversation and expressions clearly.

"I haven't bought anything today, why can't I buy anything now? Doesn't everyone get five kilograms a day?"

"Go away, go away. You've already bought it. You can't buy it again."

Several people were arguing nearby, and one of the people queuing to buy food at the back winked at him, and the people queuing behind him echoed:

"You've already bought it, but you still want to buy more? Didn't you see the sign that says each person is limited to five kilograms per day? You've already bought it, so what else should we buy?"

"I hate dishonest people like this the most. They know the owner of this store is generous and they want to take advantage of him..."

The people around also started pointing fingers at the man who was kicked out, and all they said was that the man was trying to take advantage of him.

The passers-by couldn't see clearly, but Xiao Yan and Shen Yanzhou saw through it at a glance.

It was obvious that those people queuing were in cahoots with the rice store, and some of them were really there to buy food.

They are building up momentum, waiting for the prices of all rice stores to drop to the lowest level before making large purchases and hoarding grain.

Xiao Yun narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and said:

"You should investigate this matter yourself, find out what they want to do, and have a good talk with them."

Shen Yanzhou hesitated a little: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not easy for me to intervene in my official capacity."

"Then, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, if the negotiations fail, I will find out the source of their goods and cause them to be robbed and killed by bandits."

This behavior is no different from banditry.

But no one said anything, Shen Yanzhou said:

"Yes."

Before Shen Yanzhou left, Xiao Yan instructed:

"Besides the capital, check if there are similar situations in other places. If there are, eliminate them as well."

"Yes! Your Highness."

After Shen Yanzhou left, Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the situation below. The man who was wrongly accused of trying to take advantage had been scolded and sent away.

He was about to look away, but stopped in front of a cloth shop.

I saw the carriage of the Duke's Mansion parked there, and a handsome young man was sitting in the carriage, holding an oil-paper bag in his arms. He seemed to be afraid that the things in the bag would get cold, so he covered it with his palm.

She saw a young girl in a green gown coming out of the cloth shop, and the girl handed the oil-paper bag to her in a polite manner.

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue taking it naturally, Xiao Yun's delicate eyebrows were wrinkled so much that they could pinch a mosquito to death.
