Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 446 Don’t Pick Up Men on the Street 3

Yuan Tao, the round-faced maid, had already brought over some snacks from the small kitchen. The freshly-baked snacks were steaming hot and emitting a sweet aroma, tempting to taste.

Yuan Tao was almost drooling. When he handed it to Ling Ruo, his eyes were glued to it: "Miss, you eat it."

Ling Ruo picked up a piece of lotus crisp, took a bite, and found it too sweet. "It's too sweet. Xiao Tao, please help me."

"Thank you, Miss." Yuan Tao said happily and finished a whole plate of cloud cakes and lotus crisps.

This girl really eats.

Lingruo shook her head and thought of Yuantao's ending in the original plot, and couldn't help but sigh.

In order to protect the original owner from going to Beiyue, Yuan Tao wore the original owner's clothes, giving her hope of escape.

But Yuantao died on the road.

At that time, the chubby little maid had become extremely thin. Even though they were both in the Music Bureau and suffered torture, she would always respectfully call the original owner "Miss".

"Xiao Tao, I am no longer a lady of the Su family." How can I be considered a lady when I am in a position of criminal responsibility?

But Yuantao always called her stubbornly, pinned her hair for her, and dealt with guests she didn't want to deal with.

He even sneaked out to take her place when he learned that the women of the Su family were going to be exiled to North Vietnam.

The original owner was naturally unwilling, but Yuan Tao just said softly: "Miss, my life was given by the Su family. If you hadn't bought me back then, I would have starved to death on the street. Live well, you are the hope of the Su family."

The original owner burst into tears.

"I really want to eat lotus crisps again."

Yuan Tao loves sweet food. When she was a beggar on the street, she was so hungry that she stole the lotus cake from a lady. After running for a while, she was caught up.

I thought I would be severely beaten.

A gentle little hand stroked the dirty hair, "Are you starving? Would you like to go to a place where you can have enough food and warm clothes?"

The little beggar Yuan Tao nodded in a daze.

The lotus crisps on the plate have been eaten up, leaving only a little crispy crust.

"Xiao Tao, if you like it, go to the kitchen and get more. It's enough for you."

Yuan Tao, with bulging cheeks, jumped up happily, "Thank you, Miss."

The Su family was a merchant family and did not have the etiquette and rules of larger families. Su's mother died early, and Su Su did not restrict his daughter's temper, so even the maids were rather playful.

With a click, a letter fell from Yuan Tao's sleeve.

Yuan Tao patted her head and said to Ling Ruo a little embarrassedly: "Miss, Mr. Lin sent someone to come this morning and asked me to give you this letter."

Yuan Tao doesn't like that arrogant scholar at all. Don't think she doesn't know that Lin Sheng looks down on the master and the young lady.

In her heart, the master and the young lady were both excellent people. Yuan Tao didn't understand why merchants were the last among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and why Lin Sheng looked down on the master because of this.

It is obvious that before Lin Sheng received help from his master and got engaged to the young lady, he had difficulty in studying.

As a result, when Lin Sheng passed the imperial examination, the first thing he did was to write a letter to cancel the engagement.

Why don't you return all the money the master has spent on him over the years? This money is enough to buy a lot of cakes.

Lin Sheng asked someone to deliver a letter to the young lady. Yuan Tao didn't really want to take it, but now that Lin Sheng was a juren, she was afraid of causing trouble for the Su family, so she had no choice but to take it and bring it to the young lady.

Su Lingruo opened the letter, which clearly stated that he was invited to meet under the willow tree.

"Do you want to tell the master?" Yuan Tao frowned.

Su Lingruo shook her head. Telling her father about it would only make him worry.

Now that Mr. Lin is a juren, the Su family, as merchants, have to give him some face.

After changing into light clothes and putting on a white veiled hat, Su Lingruo came under the willow tree.

It is now the hour of Xu, the sun has just set, and the sky is about to get dark.

Lin Sheng had also been waiting under the tree. When he saw Su Lingruo, he said happily, "Miss Su, I thought you were angry with me and didn't want to see me anymore."

Su Lingruo said calmly: "Your Excellency is now a juren, how dare I be angry with you."

Lin Sheng nodded in his heart. The woman in front of him was still as well-behaved and obedient as ever.

"Are you willing to go to Beijing with me and stay by my side?" Lin Sheng wanted to hold Ling Ruo's hand, but she dodged him.

"I don't want to." Without thinking, Su Lingruo refused directly.

"You..." Lin Sheng did not expect Su Lingruo to refuse so straightforwardly. In his heart, even if he broke off the engagement with the Su family, the Su family's daughter, his ex-fiancee, should still miss him and love him.

"I know you have resentment in your heart, but it was my mother who forced me to do that. I also don't want to break off the engagement and become the unfaithful man in the storybook." Lin Sheng said affectionately and took out the sachet that the original owner had embroidered by herself.

Su Lingruo chuckled, took the sachet, and then tore it into rags in front of Lin Sheng.

For a moment, Lin Sheng didn't know whether he should be shocked by Su Lingruo's strength or that the sachet was gone just like that.

"But you still did it, didn't you?" She said indifferently, "If you really feel sorry for me, just return the gold and silver that the Su family has provided to me over the years."

"Do you really think I'm interested in that little bit of money?" Lin Sheng was a little angry that Su Lingruo was so disrespectful to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a hint of ridicule flashed across the face of the woman in front of him.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he was kicked to the ground by Su Lingruo.

"You really don't want them? Just ask your mother to return the precious medicines and the brocade clothes and jade articles that the Su family sent. I don't think Mr. Lin needs those things either."

"Su Lingruo, how dare you kick me!"

I knew that women from a merchant family had no rules, but I didn't expect Su Lingruo to dare to do this.

"Do you know what the crime of murdering an official of the imperial court is?"

"Will they believe it?" Su Lingruo chuckled. "A grown man was kicked to the ground without dignity by a merchant's daughter, like a helpless dog."

"If we tell others about it, it seems that it's more embarrassing for adults." Su Lingruo leaned against the willow tree, looking down at the man on the ground slowly.

"You want me to follow you? That's wishful thinking." Ling Ruo broke off a willow branch and shot it towards the ground.

It was nailed right on the ground next to Lin Sheng's neck.

Lin Sheng opened his eyes wide, and the fear of being so close to death swept through every inch of his flesh and blood. If he was a little bit closer, the branch would have pierced his throat.

Obviously, Lin Sheng did not expect Su Lingruo to do this, and he did not dare to think about letting her accompany him to the capital without any status.

"My Lord." Su Lingruo uttered two words gently, "My Lord, you won't let other people know about what happened tonight, right?"

She broke off another branch and gestured on the ground twice.

"No...no, I will return all the things I owe to the Su family." Lin Sheng spoke incoherently. In his ears, Ling Ruo's words sounded no different from those of Purgatory Shura.
