After Fang Shuhuai left Lanyin Courtyard, he did not go to the concierge, but went to the study room of Xu Renian, the head of the Xu Mansion, located in the Minghui Hall of the main courtyard.

When the boy outside the door saw that he was coming, he bowed respectfully and opened the door. However, he saw that he only stopped for a moment, but did not go in. Instead, he turned around and left the Minghui Hall.

Fang Shuhuai came to the backyard.

The garden of the Xu Mansion was not large, but it was exquisitely built, ingeniously laid out, and full of elegance. Standing in the pavilion by the lotus pond, he could have a panoramic view of the entire courtyard.

It is also a good place for conversation.

He saw a man dressed in black and masked coming behind him, kneeling on one knee, not saying much, and respectfully waiting for the man in front of him to give orders.

Fang Shuhuai was not surprised by this person's arrival. Looking at the lotus branches that had not yet grown up in the night, he said lightly: "How is the situation with uncle?"

The man in black replied: "The Duke seems to be aware of it and has become very cautious recently. It is difficult for our people to insert them again."

"You are all trained by him. He knows the method best. Find a new face and change the method."

The man in black responded and said with some hesitation: "Master, Ji Weiliang has sent a message, and the Duke has begun to doubt him. I'm afraid..."

Fang Shuhuai sneered and said: "Send the message and tell him to do whatever he needs to do. My uncle knew it was him from the beginning."

If he doesn't reveal a flaw to his uncle, how can he be reassured that he is just a person who is lustful and mentally retarded.

"Come here to see me every three days from now on. Step back and let the shadows come in."

The man in black answered the call and left as quietly as he came.

After a moment, another man in black came, but this man was not masked, but he had an ordinary face.

Hidden in Fang Shuhuai's shadow, he stood respectfully with an expressionless face.

"I want to see Xu Renian appear early tomorrow morning. The shadow team is on standby at any time. Go ahead!"

As soon as Fang Shuhuai finished speaking, the person hiding in his shadow also disappeared into the pavilion.

As the shadow disappeared, Fang Shuhuai also turned around and left the pavilion, returning to Lanyin Courtyard.

Yuqiu and Yuchun were still standing outside the door respectfully as when he left, with cold but more alert expressions.

He did not push the door open immediately, but glanced at the two of them before stepping into the house.

Entering the inner room, he smelled the familiar refreshing aroma, which made him tense up and slowly relaxed.

Walking to the bedside, he lifted the bed curtains and saw that she was curled up and sleeping, facing inwards, sleeping deeply.

He took off his clothes, put them together with her clothes, and lay on the outside of the bed lightly.

He lay on his side, facing her back, and closed his eyes.

But after a moment, the person who was sleeping soundly next to her turned over and rolled into his arms. He hugged her and let her rest on his arm.

She found a comfortable position and let him hold her without moving, as if this kind of rubbing was something she was used to.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, leaned his head against hers, and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, when Xu Miaoyin was sleeping soundly, she felt some dense pain in half of her body. She wanted to move and change positions, but she didn't want to feel like she was being restrained and couldn't move. However, the numbness and pain in that half of her body became more and more intensive.

I wanted to struggle to get rid of this feeling, but the more I struggled, the tighter I was bound.

Vaguely, she felt her body suddenly sink and her mouth was blocked. When she felt out of breath, she was about to open her mouth to exhale, but something wet got into her teeth and hooked her tongue.

, she was suddenly startled, gritted her teeth, and heard a muffled groan. The wet thing left her, and she was also woken up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes with surging undercurrents.

He was breathing heavily and looked straight at her, so close to him that she could feel his tension at this moment.

She seemed to be deceived by his eyes that wanted to swallow her whole, so she didn't dare to move. She could only look into his eyes, but he suddenly covered her eyes with his hands.

Just listen to him say in a hoarse voice: "Don't look at me like this!"

After saying that, he took a deep breath, got out of bed, and went to the clean room.

Xu Miaoyin blushed slightly and turned into a quail when the quilt was pulled.

She didn't provoke him intentionally, it was him...

I don't know how long it took, but she didn't hear any sound. She quietly pulled down the quilt covering her head, lifted up the bed curtains that revealed a little light, and saw that he had dressed and came out of the clean room.

Are you getting ready to go out?

Thinking of him going out, he recalled his promise before going to bed that he would wake her up and talk about transporting food.

Since he didn't call her, he was actually leaving now?

"Husband, wait a minute." She put on her shoes and went to the ground, took a few hurried steps to stop him, and then said, "I discussed it with daddy last night. What did daddy say?"

Seeing that she was leaving in a hurry, he hugged her waist and said: "Father drank too much wine last night and was very drunk, so I thought about going over to discuss it with him early this morning..." Seeing that she was a little disappointed,

Then he hugged her hard again as if joking, "You stopped me!"

Her eyes lit up, and it was just right, so she went too.

"Husband, wait a moment, I'll go with you!" After saying that, he turned around and went to the dressing table, calling Yuchun and Yuqiu into the room to help her wash up.

He smiled fondly, agreed, and sat on the soft couch, drinking tea and waiting for her to freshen up.

After a while, after washing up, Yuchun gave her a simple bun, and the couple went to Minghui Hall hand in hand.

Outside Minghui Hall, Xu Mingzheng came out of the courtyard with a stack of account books. He met Xu Miaoyin and his wife, bowed his head and bowed before retreating to the side.

Xu Miaoyin, who was about to enter the hospital after holding her head in her mouth, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Xu Ming's retreating figure with a look of confusion on her face.

Fang Shuhuai saw no one following him, so he turned around and saw her looking thoughtfully at Xu Ming who was walking away.

His eyes flashed coldly, and he stepped forward and asked, "Why did you stop?"

She looked away, shook her head, and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he stepped into Minghui Hall.

Fang Shuhuai glanced leisurely in the direction where Xu Ming had disappeared, and followed him.

After entering Minghui Hall, she couldn't wait to walk faster and faster. When she got outside the study, she knocked on the door gently, not as urgently as before.

"Come in."

Until she heard that familiar voice, her eyes instantly turned red.

She opened the door and walked in. It was still a familiar desk. Behind the desk, her father was sitting.

For a moment, she thought of the day her father was taken away by the police. When she went to the prison and saw her father covered with wounds, she could do nothing. She received the bad news that her father died in prison, and the raging fire. All the scenes appeared in her mind.

It was like it happened yesterday, and it still makes her sad and painful to think about it now.

She suddenly didn't dare to get close, fearing that everything was an illusion as if in a dream, so she called softly: "Daddy."

Xu Rennian raised his head and saw that it was his precious daughter, so he put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile: "Seeing that you are fine, I feel more relieved. Oh, who bullied you? Why are you crying?"

"

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Xu Miaoyin. Before he reached her, he saw her throwing herself into his arms and crying sadly.

He patted his precious daughter's back, coaxing and comforting him, "Did that boy Fang Shuhuai bully you? You tell daddy, and daddy will help you vent your anger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Fang Shuhuai walking in.

Fang Shuhuai saluted and said helplessly: "Father, please excuse me. Shuhuai doesn't dare to bully Miaoyin."

"Then why is she crying so sadly?" His tone was sullen, and he looked at Fang Shuhuai with disapproval in his eyes.

Just as he was about to explain, Xu Miaoyin spoke, her voice soft and soft after crying, "Dad, it's none of his business, don't blame him."

Seeing the concern on her father's face, she felt a little embarrassed.

Because she lost her mother at a young age, she had to take care of the house and take care of her younger sister. She rarely threw herself into her father's arms and acted like a spoiled child like she does now. She was a polite and dignified young lady, whether in front of her father or outsiders.

Wiping her tears, she saluted her father and said, "Dad, my daughter is rude."

Xu Rennian also knew his daughter's temperament. If she hadn't been greatly wronged, she wouldn't have thrown herself into his arms and cried so sadly.

"If it's not him, then who is it? Tell Daddy, and Daddy will be so angry for you." He said it with gritted teeth at the end.

After crying for a while, she calmed down and collected her thoughts.

Business is more important. The most important thing is to figure out what link in Daddy's arrangement is wrong. After careful consideration, he asked: "Dad, will there be any arrangements for the people in Jinshui Village to transport grain to the north this year?"

Xu Rennian was startled, glanced at Fang Shuhuai, then looked at Xu Miaoyin, and asked: "How did you know about Jinshui Village?"

"Dad, it doesn't matter how I found out. What matters is that if anything goes wrong in this food shipment, our Xu family will be destroyed."

We don't have much time to give her, so we have to figure out the most important link.

At that time, according to the government, it was people from Jinshui Village who robbed that batch of grain. But a group of water bandits robbed grain instead of making money. This made her wonder?

She was thinking a lot, but it only lasted a moment. She only heard her father say in a relaxed tone: "Miaomiao, don't worry, this is the custom. Uncle Song has already sent it in advance, and it is a double portion."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly understood and said again: "Is this why you are crying? Don't worry, I have taken care of everything along the coast, and everything will be fine."

At this time, Fang Shuhuai, who had been sitting aside and said nothing, turned his head and said to her: "Don't worry now, just in case, I will bring more people."

Regardless of whether the people in Jinshui Village robbed the food, bring more people with you and be prepared, so you won't be robbed again!
