Chapter 20: The Feeling of Home (Part )
Su Liuyue looked at this protective uncle with amusement and helplessness, and said: "I know that uncle loves me, but...uncle doesn't care about his own career, he also has to think about my eldest cousin and third cousin."

Speaking of his two sons, Xue Chengyi paused and gritted his teeth, "But I can't just stand by and watch those villains from the Su family bully you like that..."

Seeing that his two cousins ​​were about to say something, Su Liuyue quickly said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with General Wu. It's not difficult to deal with General Wu, but what I'm afraid of is that there will be a sixth or seventh general in the future. I'm anxious to make Man Yifang famous now, and I also hope that I can have more self-protection capabilities."

Everyone in the Xue family looked at each other in bewilderment. Su Liuyue paused and said, "I hope you believe me. I was ignorant before. Now, among my relatives, you are the only ones I can trust and rely on."

These words obviously hurt everyone in the Xue family again.

Xue Wenbai said quickly: "Don't worry, cousin, no matter what you want to do, I will support you! Not to mention that you just helped me a lot, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will definitely help you!"

In addition to Xue Lingwan, everyone in the Xue family also expressed their opinions.

Although Xue Lingwan said nothing, she did not mock him as before.

Su Liuyue's heart suddenly felt warm, and for the first time since coming into this world, she felt a sense of security.

After dinner, Xue Wenbai volunteered to send Su Liuyue back to the Su Mansion. Yun and Xue Chengyi were worried and sent them to the gate. As they walked, Yun said, "Liuyue, you have to take good care of yourself in the Su family. If you are wronged, tell your uncle and aunt at any time.

The imperial city has not been peaceful recently. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, don’t go out at night. In the past few months, there have been several bloody cases of young women being kidnapped and killed. It’s terrible. After all, Daqing has just been established, and many government offices are not yet perfect, which gives criminals the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes..."

"Humph, what ability can the people under the crown prince who indulges such a scumbag general have?"

Xue Chengyi curled his lips and said angrily: "The current Jingzhao Yin is the Crown Prince. It is the responsibility of Jingzhao Prefecture to allow such a villain to commit crimes outside!"

"master!"

Yun glared at him immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about! If someone hears you, do you still want to keep your head?!"

Xue Chengyi immediately felt aggrieved, "I'm not a fool. I only say this kind of thing at home. Besides, my niece's grievances are partly due to that Crown Prince. How can I not be angry?"

Xue Wenbo was optimistic and said, "Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know about this matter at all? After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has so many generals under him, and there are so many things going on in the early days of the founding of the country, it is normal that he can't manage it all.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look like someone who would condone his men to commit murder. Everyone says that his Highness is strict in military discipline. During wars, he never lets his men rob the people's property or harm women and children. He is a respected general..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the head by his father beside him, "You little bastard, have you ever met her? You worship her so much! I only know that it is your cousin who is being wronged now. Even if she is the Jade Emperor, I still don't like her!"

Xue Wenbai covered his head pitifully, "Father, you talk as if you have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Humph, don't think I don't know that you are a sixth-rank Imperial Censor, and you are only eligible to attend the morning court on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. If you go, you will just stand at the end of the line. I'm afraid you can't even see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face..."

Xue Chengyi was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them at Xue Wenbo, "You little bastard, you're looking down on your dad, aren't you?"

The small courtyard was suddenly noisy.

Su Liuyue, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

This lively feeling made her feel as if she had returned to her old home.

It was already very late when Su Liuyue returned to the Su family. The concierge just gave her a perfunctory greeting and let her in. She came back so late, Su Weili and Guo Shi didn't even send anyone to ask about her, let alone come to see her in person.

Su Liuyue felt relieved by their ignoring her. She wished they would ignore her forever. After returning to the room, she lazily leaned on the couch.

Er Si couldn't help but ask, "Girl, have you really thought about how to deal with General Wu?"

The words spoken by the cooks in the back kitchen are still fresh in Ersi's mind. Although Ersi has never seen General Wu in person, he has left a shadow in her heart.

Su Liuyue chuckled and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't pose any threat to me. I'm worried about the future..."

Although she is now obsessed with making money, she also knows that in ancient times, especially in the imperial city where nobles are everywhere, money alone is useless.

Money is just her capital. If she wants to get rid of the Su family completely, she must have power.

The latter is much more difficult to obtain than the former.

Su Liuyue finally sighed and said, "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

In the following time, Su Weili and Guo seemed to have really forgotten that they had a daughter like her. Su Liuyue also had no time to take care of them for the time being. She would run to Xue's house at dawn every day and come back at night. Sometimes it was too late and she would just sleep at Xue's house.

She asked the Xue family to build a stone cellar for her next to the kitchen to bake cakes. However, she used ovens to make cakes in modern times. She had only seen the principle of baking in a stone cellar in books and had never used it in practice, so it was difficult for her to control the temperature.

In addition, in ancient times, many baking tools and materials were not available, so Su Liuyue had to try slowly or find alternative tools or materials, each of which took a lot of time.

This is also the reason why Su Liuyue told Master Xiao Song and others to give her half a month to prepare.

After the stone cellar was built, she stayed in the Xue family's kitchen every day to study her pastries, with the same enthusiasm as when she used to investigate a case all night long. Although the Xue family didn't understand what she was doing, after spending some time together, they trusted Su Liuyue more and more, and were often pleased with her changes, so they just let her do what she wanted.

Just like that, the half-month deadline was soon approaching.

That day, Su Liuyue was working on her pastries at Xue's house as usual. In the evening, Yun came over and asked her if she wanted to stay for dinner. Suddenly, a servant came running over.

Seeing the appearance of the servant clearly, Yun was surprised and asked, "Pingchuan, why did you come back in such a hurry? Didn't I ask you to bring food to the young master?"

Xue Wenbai was a Wuhou, which was equivalent to a modern patrolman. His main duty was to patrol the streets. There was basically a Wuhou shop on every street in Xinjing. The sizes of Wuhou shops varied. A large Wuhou shop had nearly a hundred people, and the smallest had only five.

The Wuhoupu where Xue Wenbai worked was located on a street called Changxing Street in the outer city. Common people lived near that street, and it was only of average prosperity. Therefore, the Wuhoupu where he worked was also of average size, with a total of thirty people. Xue Wenbai was the Wuhouchang of this Wuhoupu, and was considered a small leader.

Because there were military guards patrolling the streets for twelve hours a day, Xue Wenbai often had to be on duty at night. Occasionally, Yun would ask someone to bring him dinner. Tonight, Yun asked Pingchuan to bring Xue Wenbai dinner.

Pingchuan's face turned pale, and he said, "No... It's bad, Madam, the young master... he was arrested by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture! The people of Jingzhao Prefecture said... the young master is suspected of being involved in the recent murder of a woman, and they want to take him back for interrogation! I didn't dare to delay, and ran back immediately to report the news!"
