[Clues]
Upon seeing this, Chen Ling Er revealed a smiling face, then came to her dressing table, pulled open the box where she stored her jewelry, selected a silver hairpin from it, came to the little maid’s door and handed it over to her. She smiled and said, “As long as you are obedient, I won’t treat you badly.”
The maid was originally a little hesitant, but finally, under Chen Ling Er’s repeated urging, she very carefully took that hairpin, and then bowed towards Chen Ling Er and cautiously said, “Thank you, Miss, I understand.”
Chen Ling Er smiled gently and said in a soft voice, “Go down and rest! Today, you are also tired.”
When the maid left with fear and trembling, the smile on Chen Ling Er’s face gradually faded, staring at the maid’s back, full of cold light, she does not believe that this maid will help her to keep the secret all the time, she will have to think of a reason in a few days to send this maid far away, preferably to the poor countryside where she could not possibly live for many years, that way, only then she will feel relieved.
Chen Ling Er gently hooked the corner of her lips, the smile on her face was very pleasant. Thinking of today’s revenge, she expects that tomorrow up there should become a pile of ruins! The satisfied look in her eyes is getting stronger and stronger. She wanted to see how they would be able to ‘turn around’ (bring about a change of one’s fortune) sif the shop was no longer there.
“Young miss, the hot water has been boiled, Miss you are going to wash now?”
Just as Chen Ling Er was imagining Chen Xing’s miserable state, the maid’s careful enquiry came from outside the door.
Chen Ling Er raised her eyebrows and looked at the door outside, because she was too happy; her voice carried a few points of joy, “I’m washing now. That’s right, you guys go and prepare a fire pit for me, I’ll use it later.”
Although the maid outside the door felt that her request was a bit strange, she did not dare to disobey her order, after carrying the bath water up to her room, she went out to prepare the fire pan.
Chen Ling Er comfortably took a bath, immediately after the maids packed up those things, a person carrying the fire pot to the backyard, put the fire pot on the ground, and then put the clothes worn out today into it, poured paraffin on it, and then lit the sparks and threw it down.
The flickering fire shone on Chen Ling Er’s face without the veil covering it, making her look like a demoness from hell who had come to demand her life. She looked at the slowly extinguished flames, murmured in a low voice: “Next, tell me how do I repay my beloved parents?”
Due to the fire in the shop, Chen Xing did not sleep well all night and got up earlier than usual on the second day. At the crack of dawn, he got up and was busy.
What Chen Xing didn’t expect was that he woke up early in the morning and unexpectedly saw Gu Lang who was fully dressed. Gu Lang’s body is not very good, he usually needs to sleep a little more, therefore he is here to see him, he is still quite surprised.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s puzzled expression, smiled gently, and explained in a gentle voice: “I thought that after such a big incident at the restaurant, you must have had a restless night’s sleep, and that you would get up early in the morning to go there. So, I would like to get up earlier so I can accompany you.”
Chen Xing heard this and was somewhat touched by Gu Lang’s thoughtfulness. He looked at Gu Lang’s eyes and nodded heavily, said to respond, “Hn, thank you.”
Today, Chen Xing didn’t let Qiu Jiu help him, but let Gu Lang help him tend the kitchen fire.
Chen Xing felt that even if he was in a hurry, breakfast cannot be perfunctory, especially since Gu Lang was not well, he cannot treat it lightly. But today he was in a hurry to go out, he did not have the heart to cook or make fancy things. Looking at the ingredients in the kitchen, he also cooked a pot of white rice porridge, and then cooked some Jianbing in a thin flat layer. When the Jianbing came out of the pan, he sprinkled them with spring onions and his special sauce, the aroma immediately wafted out.
Qiu Jiu ate three bowls of congee and two large jianbing ( thin pancakes made of millet flour) for this simple but flavourful breakfast. Chen Xing, who had a poor appetite, also ate one and a half bowls of congee and one jianbing.
By the time they finished their work and arrived at the restaurant, they were two hours ahead of their usual arrival time.
They came into the small restaurant, straight towards the backyard where the kitchen is located. They wanted to take advantage of that before other people come, to find out whether there are other clues here.
Sure enough, their vision was much better in the daytime than at night, and it didn’t take them long to spot something unusual.
