It was already evening when I got home.

Something unexpected happened and everyone except Shen Qin was done.

Shen Yang couldn't go to Cheng Bai's house either. Xie Yanchuan went back to his room and began to stay in bed again to recuperate.

Gao Tiankuo, Shen Qin and others said that Mr. Xie acted bravely and fought with the gangsters, which was why he was injured.

As for the actual reason, Shen Qin probably knows something about it.

The Xie family is different from the declining Shen family. They are outsiders and can't say much about their grievances and disputes.

Late December.

Xie Yanchuan's wound is not bad, and he doesn't have much work to do at home.

Shen Yang went to Bai's shop to give some gifts. Shen Qin went with her, saying that he was going to Brother Ding to express his gratitude.

Shen Sui was left at home to take care of Xie Yanchuan.

Young Master Xie has become much more honest since he was injured. The young man is dressed in black, his long hair is tied into a ponytail and hangs high. He blinks and looks innocent.

"Brother Shen, let's go together. I can do it myself."

The main reason is that Shen Yang is afraid of not being safe, and Shen Qin also needs help.

They won't stay for long.

Red lanterns are hung in the city.

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting thicker, and there are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere.

Xie Yanchuan was alone at home. Shen Yang didn't want to waste time, so he left before paying for the sweet cake he bought last time.

According to that specification, she ordered another set.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time. While I was waiting, there were two elegantly dressed women sitting next to me.

Shen Yang didn't deliberately lower the voice of the chat, but was distracted and listened.

——On this occasion of your birthday, does your master have any thoughts?

——I don’t know how to live with it. When the incident at the iron mine came out last time, the prefect issued an order and deducted two months’ monthly payment from my husband as well.

——That's true. Who would have thought that the dean of the academy may look stable but is actually a bad heart. And the Gao family may lose their skin this time.

This has been going on for some time.

Shen Yang didn't listen to the follow-up either.

She moved her chair to that side, and the lady in a dark green dress touched the hairpin on her head, "It's your birthday, others are not in a hurry, but Gao Tiankuo needs to be anxious for a while."

"He wants to take root in Mingwu City, but he has to find someone reliable. Just say that the fourth lady of Lao Shizi resells weapons. I don't know who Gao Tiankuo would believe."

They covered their mouths and laughed.

Another poked at the woman in the dark green dress, "The Gao family sent a lot of things to your house to express your love. I heard -"

The woman looked around, Shen Yang played with the red tassels on her waist, her attitude was natural.

The tea on the table was warm, and the woman approached Dark Green, "He recently spent a lot of money to buy some novelty gadgets, probably for the county magistrate's birthday."

There was a smile on the corner of his dark green mouth, "So what's the use of making a lot of money from business? You can't even ask my county magistrate."

Shen Yang understood now.

The woman in the dark green dress is the wife of the county magistrate, and the other one is probably related to her.

There is indeed a problem with the Fourth Lady, and Mr. Gao's recent departure early and late return is to solve the hidden dangers left by the Fourth Lady.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the fourth lady has a close relationship with the dean of Qifeng Academy.

She smacked her lips, Master Gao was really wronged.

Not only did my head turn green, but I also had to clean up the mess.

Shen Yang wanted to hear more information, so the maid came over with the basket in hand to report to the two women that everything was done.

They got up and left Shiran.

Shen Yang watched her back, feeling that if this was a game, they were NPCs who came specially to deliver key information.

The counter shouted to Shen Yang, and her gift box was almost ready.

Shen Sui was waiting outside in his carriage, a newbie who was not very familiar with the road.

The waiter carried the gift box up together and walked towards the alley of Bai's house.

The shop is deserted today.

The door outside was half closed, and the carriage that usually parked at the door was gone.

Shen Yang knocked on the door, but no one answered. Shen Sui moved the things down.

She went in along the other half. Bai Yueshu was not at the counter. The little girl glanced in, and the curtain in the backyard was opened.

Bai Yueshu's face was cold, holding a stick in his hand, "You still want to-"

When she met Shen Yang's eyes, she was suddenly startled, and then her expression softened, "Yang Yang, why are you here."

Stacks of boxes stacked together.

Shen Yang and Bai Yueshu stood together, "Come here to see what's going on."

Her eyes pointed to the stick in Bai Yueshu's hand, and Bai Yueshu reacted and put the stick aside pretending to be calm.

"It's okay. I'm putting on my clothes in the backyard. Sit and rest while I go make tea."

While she was talking, she went to boil water.

Shen Yang stood still and didn't move. Shen Sui put his hands behind his back and said, "It doesn't look like nothing happened."

He saw it, and Shen Yang naturally understood it too.

But just like Xie Yanchuan, Bai Yueshu didn't tell anyone, so it was hard for anyone to ask questions.

She hurriedly came out with tea, adjusted herself, and looked the same as usual.

"I originally wanted to go to Peach Blossom Village to see you. I had too many things to do this year, and it has delayed me until now. Are you busy at noon? Stay and finish your meal before leaving."

The blue and white porcelain cup is pushed to hand.

Shen Yang shook his head and said no, "Brother and the others will go back later. Xie Yanchuan is at home, so we won't stay."

Bai Yueshu didn't know whether she heard it or not. She put down the kettle in her hand and was minding her own business, "I forgot to pick up the fruit. I'm sorry."

When Bai Yueshu left, Shen Yang pinched his forehead, and Shen Sui patted Shen Yang on the shoulder.

"I'll go find someone nearby and ask what's going on."

Shen Yang nodded, and as soon as he left, Bai Yueshu followed him out, holding a fruit plate with several desserts in his hand.

Shen Yang chatted with her for a few words. There were no lights in the room and the furniture looked dark.

It takes about half a cup of tea.

Shen Sui flashed past from outside, while Shen Yang remained calm and pulled down the embroidery on her skirt.

"You go ahead and get busy, Yueshu. I'm going back. We'll meet again after the new year."

Bai Yueshu didn't notice anything was wrong and followed Shen Yang out, "Did you come by yourself? Or I'll ask Lao Qi to..."

She paused, "I'll call a rental car to take you back."

Shen Yang accurately noticed the word "Lao Qi" and was shocked.

Bai Yueshu didn't seem to notice that Shen Sui was here. She was not feeling right.

The little girl signaled that there was no need to send her off and waited for her to board the carriage.

Shen Sui sat in the carriage and gestured towards Shen Yang, "The Bai's Shop was framed and said there was a quality problem, and they came to ask for compensation."

"Bai Jingnian disagreed. These people took action. Lao Qi's legs were broken and he is still in the hospital. Bai Jingnian became furious and said he was bedridden."

He asked the boy at the medical clinic.

The Bai family has been in constant turmoil these past few days, and the medical center has also been implicated.

Shen Yang frowned, "Do you know who you offended?"

The Bai's Shop has been in Mingwu City for many years. Someone should have planned it long ago. How could it be delayed until now?
