Chapter 556 The Collapse of Century-old Cake Shop (5)_1
When Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng returned to Rice Flower Fragrance, Liuzi was already waiting anxiously at the doorway. As soon as he saw them, he hurried over, clapping his hands and gasping for air, "Aiyoh, boss lady, you’re finally back! If you had been any later, our Rice Flower Fragrance would’ve almost been flooded by that Shunzi!"
Lin Yuan was taken aback and followed Liuzi into the house. From a distance, she could hear Shunzi’s wailing and something vaguely resembling words, but his crying was so severe, and his teeth so leaky, that she couldn’t understand a thing he said.
Princess Anle, who was resting inside, was also startled and had Xia He come out to check several times.
Lin Yuan held her forehead. Wasn’t it just a small pill she had fed him? She had promised that as soon as she returned from the Century-old Cake Shop, she would immediately provide the antidote. Was it really necessary for him to cry like this?
In the storeroom, Shunzi was slumped on the ground, wiping away snot and tears. Even the guards watching him were getting uncomfortable, incessantly muttering, "Are you even a man? Can’t you show a little guts?"
Shunzi grabbed at one of their clothes to wipe his tears but was deftly avoided. With no other option, he took his own hem and blew his nose fiercely, "Ugh, don’t talk about dignity, I want to live! Waaah! I want to live!"
Lin Yuan shook her head at the doorway and urged Liuzi to quickly bring the "antidote." It was the same filling as before, only this time without the dipping sauce. Sweet and fragrant, it did indeed seem a bit like a real antidote.
Seeing Lin Yuan enter, Shunzi finally stopped crying and quickly scrambled to his feet, his eyes wide as he asked, "Miss, how is it? The task’s done alright, yeah?"
