Chapter 55 Young Master Yu Has Feelings for You

As soon as Gu Ba left, her two personal maids rushed forward. Hei Yue asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Ali laughed heartily: "Great, absolutely great!"

Bai Yue asked with a puzzled look, "Why would Miss help Young Master Gu?"

Ali laughed and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds to crack open.

In her previous life, Gu Ba had helped Wen Wan frame her quite a bit, so shouldn't she retaliate in kind?

As for Wen Wan, she had previously hoped to reconcile with her, but some people's inherent selfishness and coldness will not change easily.

Well, the family has already started arranging the formal recognition of her status as heir. Wenwan's pregnancy can't wait; she'll be married off after her coming-of-age ceremony, which is only two months away. As long as she behaves herself during this time…

"Miss, something terrible has happened!" Xia Yi reported. "My men have just found out that the Second Miss plans to attack you at your coming-of-age ceremony and ruin your reputation!"

Uh... this one is probably not a peaceful one.

Since that's the case, don't blame me for settling all my old and new scores!

Ah Li decided to strike first.

If she didn't have memories of her first life, she might have chosen reconciliation, but now she only wants revenge.

Jinxi also issued a task at this moment: [Ding! System task triggered: Publicly expose Wen Wan's true identity. Task reward: One Saint-grade weapon, 300 points.]

Oh dear, now she has no choice but to deal with Wen Wan!

Ali laughed and said, "Because Wen Wan isn't a good person!"

The two maids seemed to understand but not quite, while Ali leisurely picked up the tea on the table and began to savor it.

Hei Yue seemed to have thought of something and smiled slyly: "Miss, I think that Young Master Yu seems to be interested in you, and he's also a good person. Shouldn't you consider it?"

Ali spat out a mouthful of tea directly onto Hei Yue's face: "Pfft—"

Yu Yang?!

Ali's pupils contracted. Although she kept saying she wanted to be in a relationship, did she really want to be in a relationship?

The answer is definitely no!

Bai Yue spoke with concern, "Miss..."

Ali looked at the tree in the yard, her eyes darting around: "I've heard that nine out of ten love stories end in tragedy."

The two exchanged a glance, assuming that their young mistress had been injured by Gu Ba, and tacitly avoided the issue.

Bai Yue: "Miss, are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry. Please bring it to me quickly, as I need to go out in a bit."

As long as they don't pressure me to get married, everything is fine.

Black Moon clenched her fists, eager to fight: "Where are you going, Miss? Take me with you?"

"it is good."

……

A slum. Inside a dilapidated temple.

Hei Yue grabbed a beggar girl who looked to be about 13 years old by the collar and brought her in front of Ali.

"Let me go! Let me go! Do you believe I'll report you to the authorities?" the little beggar shouted, waving his limbs in the air.

Ali sat on a stone stool and said with a smile, "My money bag is not for just anyone to use."

The little beggar recognized her as the person whose purse he had stolen yesterday and panicked immediately: "What, what are you going to do?"

Ali chuckled and patted her head, not minding the dirt: "What bad thoughts could a child have? Tell me, the black market has already given you food, why did you still steal my purse?"

The little beggar's eyes were full of wariness: "I am a beggar, and stealing people's money bags is something that beggars would do."

Ali smiled but didn't reply. Instead, she carefully observed the environment of the dilapidated temple.

"Let me tell you, the person lying in here is your sister, right? You weren't originally beggars, but your family was framed, and you were forced into begging. You stole money only to pay for your sister's medical treatment, right?"

Of course, there was no real investigation. It was all just something Ali made up on the spot. Where in the capital are there born beggars? Most of the people who come here have been framed.

The little beggar was indignant at first, but quickly relaxed.

"I know you won't hurt me. If you wanted to report it to the authorities, you would have done so long ago; if you wanted to kill someone, you would have done it long ago."

Ali gave him a thumbs up: "Smart! I want to make a deal with you. You do me a favor, and I'll help you heal your sister, how about it?"

"What kind of help?"

A-Li's smile faded: "I want you to spread a message about the Third Prince, making sure that everyone in the capital knows about it."

Upon hearing the name of the Third Prince, the little beggar's face turned ashen, and without a second thought, he agreed: "...Okay!"

Ali gave him a bag of copper coins: "Take these copper coins and distribute them to the other beggars so they can help you spread the word. When you achieve the effect I want, bring your sister to the Xia residence to find me."

After giving his instructions, Ali led Hei Yue away. It was noon now, and they should have a result by evening.

As the two walked down the street, Hei Yue asked, "Miss, where are we going now?"

"How about we have barbecue tonight?"

"Barbecue?"

Black Moon: Miss seems to be trying a very novel way of eating?

“Mmm!” Ali pulled Hei Yue’s hand. “Let’s go, let’s prepare some materials first.”

Back in the courtyard, Ali led everyone to set up a homemade grill and enjoy some barbecue.

As Ali flipped the meat on the grill, she asked, "How is it? My skills are pretty good, right?"

Bai Yue looked at him with admiration: "Miss, you are amazing."

The others nodded eagerly, "Mmm, it's spicy and satisfying, so great!"

Because Ali is usually unpretentious, everyone was quite bold, and they all sat down to grill and eat.

"Did you learn the baking method I just used? Go get a few more brushes and try it yourselves."

It's simple and easy to learn; everyone mastered it in no time.

Two people peeked out from the courtyard gate, then walked inside: "Little sister, what are you doing?"

Xia Jingwen, with drool still on her lips, said, "I could smell it from far away."

"Oh, it's my two older brothers! Come on, come on, let's eat some barbecue! Baiyue, bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks."

The two older brothers pointed at Yu Yang beside them, their faces wary: "Who is this?"

Ali glanced over and saw that it was Yu Yang who had been drawn out by the aroma. Because he was badly injured, Ali had arranged a simple meal of roasted meat for him.

She explained, "Oh, a friend of mine was injured while saving me and is recovering here."

Xia Jingwen asked anxiously, "Sister, how could you bring a man from another family into your courtyard?"

Xia Jingyuan also expressed his disapproval: "Sister, do you really know this person's background?"

Ali said nonchalantly, "Then how about this, you take him to your yard later, and once his injuries have healed, throw him out."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief and happily agreed. It seemed their sister didn't like him.

Their little sister is so cute, they hope she doesn't get kidnapped by some shady characters.

Of course, the brothers' happiness is built on someone's pain, or even doubled on it.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when Ali suddenly stood up and blurted out, "I've made up my mind!"
