Chapter 130 How dare they go against the flow!
Just as Su Huaiqi reached the entrance of the small flower hall, she bumped into Yu Zechuan and Li Bai, who were walking from the other side.
Su Huaiqi completely ignored Yu Zechuan and greeted the two people behind him warmly: "Brother Bai, Brother Li."
Bai Heming smiled and nodded. Although he was somewhat surprised by Su Huaiqi's attitude towards Yu Zechuan, he guessed from Yu Zechuan's somewhat helpless expression that nothing serious had happened between them.
In fact, Su Huaiqi didn't feel hungry. In addition, her dining seat was right next to Yu Zechuan. In order to avoid breaking her "promise", she turned around and did not follow Li Hengzhi and the others into the small flower hall. Instead, she walked towards the courtyard.
Yu Zechuan watched Su Huaiqi's departing figure, his brows furrowed slightly, wondering to himself, "Could it be that she's not even planning to eat lunch in order to avoid seeing me?"
Thinking of this, Yu Zechuan whispered something to Li Hengzhi and then quickly followed Su Huaiqi out of the small flower hall.
"Young Master Yu, why are you leaving? Aren't you going to have lunch?" Yun Zhiye looked at Yu Zechuan, who had come and gone, with some confusion, and asked in a low voice, tilting his head.
"He just said he suddenly discovered something and needs to deal with it first," Li Hengzhi explained, seemingly having also heard Yun Zhiye's question.
After leaving the small flower hall, Yu Zechuan did not immediately catch up with Su Huaiqi. Instead, he followed behind her and accompanied her as they wandered back and forth in the courtyard.
In fact, Su Huaiqi sensed that someone was following her, and that person was most likely Yu Zechuan, so Su Huaiqi deliberately took a detour and circled around a few times.
But who would have thought that lifting a stone would drop on one's own foot? In the end, Su Huaiqi was quite tired, so he had to stop and turn around to call out to Yu Zechuan, who had already hidden to the side, "Stop following me, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, apart from the birds that had been startled away by Su Huaiqi's shout, no one else appeared.
"If you don't come out, I really won't talk to you for a whole day!" Su Huaiqi said again, and pretended to turn around and leave.
Just then, a low laugh was heard coming from not far away.
Su Huaiqi stopped and looked toward the source of the sound, just in time to see Yu Zechuan walking out of the bushes with his hands behind his back.
"You're finally willing to come out?" Su Huaiqi asked Yu Zechuan, arms crossed.
Yu Zechuan nodded. "If I don't come out now, what if you really stop talking to me?"
"Hmph, why are you following me instead of going to eat?"
"Then why aren't you going to eat?" Yu Zechuan asked instead of answering.
"Of course I have something to do! Never mind, since you're here too, I'll introduce you to a new friend."
Su Huaiqi beckoned Yu Zechuan to follow her, and the two went to the kitchen first. Then, Yu Zechuan, holding the plump white steamed bun that Su Huaiqi had given him, followed Su Huaiqi to the backyard.
"A new friend is here?" As the head of the Wutong Courtyard, Yu Zechuan couldn't figure out which "friend" could be in the backyard.
Su Huaiqi quickly shushed Yu Zechuan.
"Keep your voice down. If you scare Blackie and he accidentally hurts you, don't blame me for not warning you."
Yu Zechuan raised an eyebrow but obediently shut his mouth and nodded, quietly following Su Huaiqi into the backyard.
Who would have thought that after entering the backyard, Su Huaiqi wouldn't head towards the main road at all, instead choosing to dart into the woods and meadows. After a while, she stopped, holding up a steamed bun and calling out happily, "Hei Zai, look what delicious treats I brought you this time!"
Upon hearing Su Huaiqi's voice, Yu Zechuan peeked out from behind her and followed her gaze, only to see a small, jet-black snake coiled on a branch in front of him.
"Hey kid, let me introduce you. His name is Yu Zechuan, and he's my friend."
The little black snake seemed to sense Yu Zechuan's presence as well, and kept its head straight, staring intently at Yu Zechuan and Su Huaiqi.
"Go, put the steamed buns on that triangular branch," Su Huaiqi said, turning to Yu Zechuan and pointing to the spot.
Yu Zechuan took the steamed bun from Su Huaiqi's hand, and under the watchful eye of the little black snake, he took a few steps forward, then slowly put the steamed bun down and returned to his original position.
The moment the steamed bun was placed there, the little black snake's attention was immediately diverted. It quickly crawled towards the bun, first licking it with its tongue, and then devouring it in large, greedy bites.
Yu Zechuan looked at the little black snake munching on a steamed bun on the tree branch and asked in a low voice with some surprise, "Snakes can actually eat steamed buns?"
"Why not? Blackie is so easy to raise, he eats everything and isn't picky at all, right, Blackie?" Su Huaiqi said proudly.
The little black snake even cooperated by munching on its steamed bun while wiggling the tip of its tail.
The more Su Huaiqi looked at the little black snake, the cuter it seemed. He had no choice but to shift his attention and ask Yu Zechuan, "Guess why I brought you here today?"
"Introduce us to each other?" Yu Zechuan said without thinking.
"... "
"We're not going to explore the cave, and there are a lot of snakes in the cave, so I'm thinking of taking it with us. What do you think?"
"It? You're planning to use one to deal with many?" Yu Zechuan looked at the small black snake, which was only as thick as a finger, and then thought of the giant python Bai Heming had mentioned. He shook his head and disagreed.
"Forget it, let's not end up running after those snakes."
“Blackie wouldn’t be ‘turned’!” Su Huaiqi argued. “Maybe it’s Blackie who turned them.”
"Alright, alright, I know you want to resolve the snake problem in the cave as soon as possible, but the situation inside the cave is complicated, and there are many different kinds of snakes. Don't hurt your new friends."
Su Huaiqi pursed her lips and didn't continue to refute. What Yu Zechuan said also made sense, and she wasn't really sure if the little black snake was on her side.
Su Huaiqi sighed silently, lifted her skirt and took a few steps forward, standing a few steps away from the little black snake.
"Hey kid, I have to go out the day after tomorrow, so I won't be able to bring you any delicious food. I'll bring you more when I get back."
The little black snake was happily eating when it glanced up at Su Huaiqi before continuing to eat, seemingly unstoppable in its culinary endeavors.
"Let's go, it's eating so happily, I'm getting a little hungry too, let's go back and eat."
Yu Zechuan nodded and turned to leave with Su Huaiqi. They didn't notice the little black snake, who had been eating with its head down, tilting its head thoughtfully as it watched the two depart.
In the blink of an eye, it was two days later, the day to explore the cave.
Su Huaiqi specially borrowed a set of men's clothing from Yu Zechuan. Although Yu Zechuan initially disagreed, he couldn't resist Su Huaiqi's persistent pleading and eventually found her the smallest size set of men's clothing.
Even after wearing it, it's still ridiculously big.
In response, Su Huaiqi strongly condemned the female leads in historical romance dramas who disguised themselves as men, asking why their male costumes always fit them so well!
In the end, it was Xi Zhenzhen who helped by altering her own outfit to fit Su Huaiqi's figure and giving it to her.
Because there were a large number of people going up the mountain to explore, they were divided into different groups and left the Wutong Courtyard at different times and in different ways to avoid attracting unnecessary attention due to the large number of people.
Su Huaiqi was undoubtedly paired with Yu Zechuan. The two left in a very leisurely manner, taking a carriage and heading to Qingri Peak under the guise of sightseeing.
Su Huaiqi was incredibly excited sitting in the carriage. She clutched her small handbag tightly and kept looking out the window, eagerly anticipating leaving the city and entering Qingri Peak.
As a result, the carriage was forced to stop before it even reached the city gate. Su Huaiqi quickly stuck her head out of the carriage window and realized that the carriage opposite hers had collided head-on.
Don't they know that safety is the most important thing when there are countless roads? How dare they drive against traffic!
"Who's the blind fool over there, daring to block our young master's carriage? Don't you want to stay in Huzhou anymore?" A frivolous voice came from the carriage opposite. A weasel-faced servant emerged from the opposite carriage, hands on his hips, shouting.
Seeing that the carriage opposite her showed no sign of retreating, and hearing that piercing sound, Su Huaiqi was about to roll up her sleeves and rush out of the carriage when she saw Yu Zechuan raise his hand to stop her.
Su Huaiqi looked at Yu Zechuan with some confusion, and was about to ask something when he heard his coachman answer in a clear and respectful voice: "Wutong Mountain Villa, Huzhou Branch".
Upon hearing that they were from Wutong Manor, the so-called young master on the other side leaned out of the carriage and carefully examined the carriage frame. Sure enough, he saw the Wutong Manor logo on the carriage.
The portly young master glared fiercely at the servant beside him, then instantly made a 180-degree turn in attitude, putting on a fake smile, intending to downplay the matter. "I am the son of the governor of Huzhou. Today's incident was due to my failure to properly discipline my servant. I hope your esteemed estate will not take offense."
"Since you haven't disciplined him properly, it's best not to take him out next time, otherwise who knows what trouble he might cause," Yu Zechuan said coldly through the curtain.
"Yes, yes, I have learned a lot." The fat young master's forehead was covered with beads of sweat from nervousness. Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to endure it and instructed his own carriage to give way.
The road ahead gradually became clearer, and Yu Zechuan's carriage drove straight through the street without any hesitation, but paused for a moment when passing the fat young master.
"It seems your carriage was the one that crashed into us first. I'll have the driver inspect it carefully once we get back. If there's any damage, I wonder..."
Before Yu Zechuan could finish speaking, the fat young master hurriedly interjected, "If there is any damage, just list it out and send it to my residence, and my residence will take full responsibility."
"Alright, thank you very much, Young Master Sun."
As Yu Zechuan's carriage drove further and further away, Su Huaiqi watched as he calmed things down with just a few words and even made a small fortune, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected of the young master of Wutong Manor,
Their ability to make money is truly impressive.
