Chapter 671 Two People's Wishes (24)
Wang Shuyi looked at Li Han as he fled, her disgust evident in her eyes.
Granny Gao didn't take Li Han seriously. "Miss, let's continue browsing the Treasure Pavilion."
"It's perfect timing to get you some new jewelry."
"Alright."
Wang Shuyi found it pointless; she had no intention of dealing with Li Han and the others. Now that the Li family was gone, the conflict between the mistress and the concubine should also dissipate.
There's no need to fight tooth and nail over the family of a disgraced official and a dead, filthy man.
Li Han did not return to Xiaoyao Garden, but went straight to Xiong Bufan and her home. In her heart, she wanted to open Nanfeng Tower on her own without telling the First Madam and Granny Gao, because she always felt that she had betrayed Li Dan.
Xiong Bufan was still watching the performance and eating in Xiaoyao Garden.
When Li Han found that Xiong Bufan was not at home, she quickly sent people to look for him. She herself hid in the bedroom and ordered people to guard the door to prevent the First Madam's people from entering.
Wang Shuyi and Granny Gao were still browsing the Treasure Pavilion and did not catch up.
The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion may not be as exquisite as those in the capital, but each has its own unique characteristics.
When Xiong Bufan saw that Li Han had sent someone to look for him to return, he thought something had happened and quickly ran back.
She then saw all the guards of the mansion standing at the gate, ready for anything. Xiong Bufan ran back even faster; she couldn't allow anyone else to get into trouble under her nose.
Li Han was drinking tea in the front hall, her hands trembling. When she put down the teacup, she saw Xiong Bufan standing in front of her, and instantly felt as if she had found her pillar of support.
Seeing that Li Han was unharmed, Xiong Bufan felt relieved. "What do you want from me?"
Li Han stood up, grabbed Xiong Bufan's sleeve and said, "Big Fish, the First Madam has come to Baicheng. She must be here to arrest us. Let's go quickly."
Aren't you going back to the capital?
When Li Han came to Baicheng last year, she was determined to return to Beijing, but now her mindset has changed.
"I'm not going back. I want to stay in Baicheng with you."
"Big Fish, since you're so capable, why don't you send the First Madam and the others back to the capital?"
Li Han's original intention was for Xiong Bufan to kill them, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Xiong Bufan wouldn't kill without a reason, and said, "With me here, no one dares to hurt you, and they can't go back to the capital now."
Li Dan is dead.
Li Han slumped into the chair without questioning the veracity of Xiong Bufan's words.
"Then what should we do now?"
Xiong Bufan: "You just do what you're supposed to do. They don't dare to mess with me now, otherwise I'd tear her apart."
Li Han felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but thinking of the family behind the First Madam, she continued, "The Wang family behind the First Madam is not to be trifled with."
Xiong Bufan stood by Li Han's side the whole time, as if that gave her endless confidence. "With me here, you don't need to be afraid. No one can ruin our peaceful life together."
"really?"
"I never lie to you. If you're really worried, you can give me some protection money." Xiong Bufan was truly thinking about getting money from Li Han all the time.
Considering the possibility of being charged protection money, Xiong Bufan persisted, "One hundred taels a month, fifteen hundred taels a year. You won't lose out. If you get injured, I'll return three months' worth of protection money to you."
Li Han: ........This guy is a total money-grubber.
Since she stopped selling snacks, Li Han doesn't have much spare money left, barely enough to cover the daily expenses of Xiaoyao Garden and her family.
If Li Han were to give Xiong Bufan money every month, he would have no money left at all.
He had countless riches in his hands, yet his pockets were empty; he was so poor he had to beg for food.
The moment Xiong Bufan mentioned money, his expression became increasingly lewd. His face, which was already sour, now turned into a lewd sour face.
"If you think it's too expensive, ninety-nine taels a month is fine too. Don't say I'm the kind of ruthless, money-grubbing bear."
Li Han:.......
If a mere tael of silver can buy the bond between two people, then that bond is truly quite valuable.
Xiong Bufan looked at Li Han, who remained unmoved. Feeling bored, he sat down to the side.
Li Han: "I want you to kill the First Madam."
"I don't kill people; killing is bad."
Li Han wanted to ask Xiong Bufan if she had thought before she said those words. How many people had she killed?
The truth is, the price offered wasn't high enough; otherwise, the First Madam really wouldn't have been able to escape.
Li Han was somewhat unhappy, but considering that Li Han was Li Xianyu's nominal stepmother, she gave up on the idea. However, the thought that the First Madam was still in Baicheng made her feel very uncomfortable.
Will I suffer the same torment from the First Madam in the Li household, and then again in Baicheng...?
Xiong Bufan understood Li Han's concerns and said, "I will always protect you."
"Ok."
Li Han calmed down, but she still hadn't figured out what to do.
After finding that nothing was wrong here, Xiong Bufan ran to the kitchen, waiting for the cook to prepare food for her; she was hungry after running around for so long.
The guards who were stationed in the mansion had not yet dispersed, and Li Han was too afraid to go out, fearing that he would run into them again, so he began to rest in the mansion.
Over the years, she has suffered a great deal of torment at the hands of the First Madam.
After Wang Shuyi returned to her residence, Granny Gao, fearing that seeing Li Han would upset her, said, "Miss, don't worry, that wretch wouldn't dare to act disrespectfully in front of you. Who knows, she might be living a good life now."
“Wet nurse, be careful what you say, these things have nothing to do with us anymore.”
"Yes, ma'am."
Wang Shuyi was also surprised that Xiong Bufan and Li Han had moved to Baicheng, but she couldn't intervene; they didn't want to cause any extra trouble.
Li Han, the target of the mission, still holds a significant place in Xiong Bufan's heart. Although he wouldn't kill Wang Shuyi because of his feelings for Li Han, he would still issue a warning.
Kongkong felt that Xiong Bufan was warm-hearted and kind in this world, which was incomparable to the previous worlds, and he was also imbued with human warmth.
A good task partner would reduce Xiong Bufan's hostility towards the small world. Xiong Bufan's current state can be attributed to the fool being too kind.
That night, Wang Shuyi had just fallen asleep under the care of Granny Gao when she heard a noise coming from the window. She picked up the small lamp by her bedside and went over.
Xiong Bufan clung to the window, watching the faint light gradually approach.
The instant Wang Shuyi opened the window, Xiong Bufan made a funny face.
Wang Shuyi was startled when she saw Xiong Bufan making faces, but she quickly calmed down. This person was just making faces and wasn't doing anything else, so he probably wasn't there to rob or beat people.
Xiong Bufan: "I've come to take your life!"
Wang Shuyi:………
Kongkong didn't want to see Xiong Bufan's silly look, so he slowly said, "Bufan, be serious."
"Ow."
