The familiar smell hit her, and Song Shu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Not a killer.

But why would Pei Xuan come at this time? Haven't he been seen for several days?

Just as I was thinking about it, the cool smell came a little closer.

Song Shu raised her head, wondering if it was her imagination. Although Pei Xuan was standing there and didn't move, she felt that the other party was restraining something.

"Ms. sir, why are you back at this hour? But there is something important?"

Seeing that she was fine, Pei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Song Shu retreating unconsciously, he silently tightened his fingers and said, "I heard something happened in the shop, I came to take a look."

I see.

It seems that Pei Xuan found out about the trouble.

Whether he comes or not has little impact on me. After all, I am not a soft persimmon and cannot be manipulated by others at will.

Song Shu didn't care: "The matter has been taken care of. Don't worry, my husband. Is your husband finished with his work?"

The slight alienation made Pei Xuan's face look a little unnatural.

He paused and nodded.

If something hadn't happened suddenly, he could have stayed by Pei Xuan's side and never let those people slander Song Shu.

But seeing how calm Song Shu was, there seemed to be no danger to her.

"I heard that those people have been arrested by adults."

Song Shu nodded: "Yes, but he is not the culprit. The shop's business is good, so it will definitely attract people's attention. I have already asked someone to investigate."

Pei Xuan swallowed the words that came to her lips.

He wanted to ask whether he should continue to investigate, but it was obvious that Song Shu had already figured out how to do it without him.

Pei Xuan felt powerless like never before, making her feel as if she was useless.

"Why does my husband look so ugly? What's wrong? If it's nothing important, can you tell me? Maybe I can help you with some advice."

Pei Xuan shook his head.

"They are all small matters. They have been dealt with. I can help with the investigation and it can be faster..."

"No need." Song Shu didn't even think about it and refused directly: "That person is obviously coming for me. Zuo is just a merchant in the town, so there is no need for Xianggong to take action, and the guy is also under Brother Qin.

enough."

At this time, Pei Xuan didn't know what to say.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Shu excused herself from exhaustion and Pei Xuan didn't want to stay any longer, so she went to the room next door.

Qin Lai had been waiting there for a long time.

"You are here."

"Have you investigated everything about the store today?"

Listening to Pei Xuan's cold voice, Qin Lai knew that this person was angry. No wonder, after a few days of hard work, he heard that his wife was being bullied. How could he not be angry?

"The guys are already checking, and I believe there will be results soon."

"That guy...is quite capable?"

Qin Lai: "..."

What's going on? Why did he hear a bit of sourness in Pei Xuan's words?

This person has always been calm and will never be affected by anything.

Qin Lai didn't care too much and said hurriedly: "If they can't do these small things, then there is no need for them to stay. Don't worry, I will definitely give an explanation to my wife."

Qin Lai didn't know what he said wrong, and Pei Xuan's face became even more ugly.

He simply shut up and hid.

Late at night, Pei Xuan lay there unable to sleep for a long time, thinking about Song Shu's subconscious alienation, and her eyes became a little darker.

--

Song Shu didn't expect Qin Lai's man to be so quick.

In just half a day, I found the information about that person.

It turned out that that person was a member of Meng Laosan, the foreman of Xiuhe Town. They all worked hard, but this man was a lazy person and not a good worker.

After not going to work for three days, Meng Laosan was already determined to drive this man out.

Song Shu opened the shop and immediately went to find Meng Laosan.

In the Renya Shop in Dongshi, Meng Laosan was crossing his legs. When he saw Song Shu entering the door, he stared at her with narrowed eyes.

Tsk tsk, Meng Laosan has seen many women, but the charm of this young lady is really top-notch.

"Hey, little lady, are you planning to buy someone?"

There was a rotten smell in the room, and Song Shu frowned: "I heard that Qiao Lai is yours?"

Hearing this name, Meng Laosan's expression changed.

The lust in his eyes also turned into scrutiny.

For a long time, he stared at Song Shu: "Is the young lady looking for trouble?"

Song Shu shook her head and took out a piece of silver from her pocket. The waiter immediately gave it to Meng Laosan in a sensible manner.

"I'm not here to cause trouble, but I just want to ask a few questions."

Meng Laosan became interested: "Oh? What do you want to ask, young lady?"

"Qiao Lai is yours, right? Who does he hang out with on weekdays? Are there anyone else at home?"

"Tsk, tsk." Meng Laosan spat: "The little lady asked what Qiao Lai was doing. He is just an old man. He ran away to who knows where a few days ago. I don't want him now. If it weren't for the destruction he had done before.

If he takes away my things, I won’t even look for him.”

"Oh? It seems like Shopkeeper Meng knows a lot about Qiao Lai?"

Meng Laosan said: "He came to my place a few days ago and even paid back ten taels of silver. He even dared to yell at me. Maybe he made a windfall somewhere."

A windfall? I'm afraid it's ill-gotten wealth!

Song Shu finally understood and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Meng know who Qiao Lai has a better relationship with?"

Seeing Song Shu's generous move, Meng Laosan was considered a principled person and did not hide anything.

He told Song Shu the names of several people.

Song Shu asked one by one that these were all Meng Laosan's workers. They were all just fair-weather friends. However, one of them lived close to Qiaolai and said that someone had come to see Qiaolai in the past two days.

This caught Song Shu's attention. She frowned and asked the man to describe how he was looking for Qiao Lai.

She has no one she knows well in Fenghe Town, but the guy behind her has always been in Fenghe Town.

With just one glance, he recognized who this person was.

"Shopkeeper, this is a close associate of the shopkeeper Deshengzhai."

Deshengzhai?

Song Shu remembered that Qin Lai told her that there were two pickles sellers in Fenghe Town, one of which was Deshengzhai.

It can be said that most pickles are sold by Deshengzhai.

Now that he has taken away Deshengzhai's business as soon as he came here, it is no wonder that he made such a big move.

Deshengzhai operates as a department store and sells many miscellaneous items, so I didn’t have to worry about pickles at first.

But this is what Song Shu is most curious about.

Pickles are not their main business, so why would they frame themselves up like this?

Song Shu thought for a while and asked the waiter: "Are you sure this is someone from Deshengzhai?"

"You can't be wrong." The clerk lowered his voice: "I also worked in Deshengzhai before. This manager is a close confidant of the shopkeeper. He exploited us a lot in the past, so I am deeply impressed."

I see.
