After discussing all the details, the golden crow fell outside.

Cheng Ju pounded his chest and said that Chunlailou had fully paid for Yi Mingxue's watermelons, buying them at market prices and sharing the profits according to the contract.

"I can rest assured that I'll leave this matter to you, but these melons can't be put on sale until Mrs. Liu's family's wedding is completed. It just so happens that you can prepare for the opening during this period." Yi Mingxue stood up and said.

With that said, she raised her hand to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he also left a big watermelon for each of Master Zeng and the Cheng family.

Before stepping out of the courtyard, the high-pitched voice of Cheng Ju's wife came from behind.

"Oh, this watermelon is so sweet! This is my first time eating it."

It looked like he couldn't wait and started sharing the food.

Hearing this, Yi Tianlei grinned his white teeth and let out a chuckle.

He raised his chin proudly: "The watermelon grown by my eldest sister is of course the sweetest!"

Yi Yutang also raised his little face, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his pale lips.

He has seen more today than in the past five years.

When I thought about how they had been out all day, I didn't know what was happening to the second, third and sixth sisters at home.

So, he pursed his lips and said, "Sister, shall we go home now?"

Yi Mingxue lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then shook her head and said: "I won't go back for the time being, I have to go to another place."

She temporarily entrusted the two brothers to Mr. Gu's care, and hurried out.

Relying on her memory, she took many twists and turns in the town, and finally came to a courtyard in the back alley of South Street.

This place is quiet and remote, and there are far fewer people in the streets.

The small green brick courtyard where Chu Yu stayed was not big and looked low-key from the outside.

It's just that the high walls, dense tiles, and heavy tree shadows give people an awe-inspiring and inviolable sense of mystery.

Just like Chu Yu.

Yi Mingxue took out a big watermelon, stepped forward and clicked the door knocker, "Is anyone here?"

But even after knocking dozens of times, no one came to answer the door.

It was silent inside, but I could vaguely feel two breaths.

Someone is clearly at home, why didn't they open the door?

Yi Mingxue was suspicious, and she moved closer to the door to see what was going on inside.

Suddenly there was a clanging sound from behind.

A horrified voice stammered: "Where are you from and what do you want to do?!"

She glanced back and saw an old lady in a flower coat shivering.

A wooden basin lay crookedly on the ground.

Water splashed all over the floor.

The aunt's expression was like catching a thief, and Yi Mingxue couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

She pointed to Chu Yu's courtyard and explained: "Auntie, I came to see this family. Do you know if he is at home?"

The aunt asked warily: "Why are you looking for him?"

Yi Mingxue said vaguely: "He owes me a debt, and I'm here to collect it."

"Okay! I think you, girl, are not good at learning at a young age, so you just make up lies to deceive me!"

The aunt suddenly became furious. She picked up the stick by the wall and pointed it at Yi Mingxue with her arms akimbo.

"No one has lived across from me for several years, and I haven't seen anyone move here. You actually said you came here to collect a debt. Are you afraid it's the little thief who keeps stealing things recently?"

"No one?" Yi Mingxue was stunned.

But Chu Yu did say that this was his temporary destination.

Is it possible that to hide his identity, he avoids the neighbors when entering and exiting the house?

Acting so carefully, it seems that his situation in Fengyun Town is indeed very dangerous.

Before she could think about it, the sound of a wooden stick cut through the air and hit her head and face.

The aunt relied on the fact that she had a weapon in her hand, and her opponent was a little girl.

She became more and more bold, and she cursed fiercely: "I'll beat you, little thief! If you make you steal our things again! Beat me to death..."

Suddenly, her words got stuck in her throat.

Yi Mingxue would naturally not be hit by her.

But his face looked very bad.

She stretched out a hand, shook it, and twitched it.

Then he pulled the wooden stick out of the aunt's hand.

Her expression was indifferent and her voice was cold, "Auntie, catch a thief and take the stolen goods. You slap people on the head without any basis and hit people at will. Do you think I won't fight back?"

"I, I, I..."

The aunt didn't expect this little girl to be so strong.

When he spoke, his aura was so terrifying.

But recently, several houses of their generation have been stolen one after another.

She often heard people say that there were some strange people appearing around here.

Only then did Yi Mingxue mistakenly think she was a thief.

Facing Yi Mingxue's indifferent expression, the aunt felt a little scared.

But he still said stubbornly, "Who told you to be sneaky here? It's not like that."

Yi Mingxue was speechless for a moment.

She rolled her eyes and threw the stick on the ground.

The old lady was so frightened that she ran back to her home.

Yi Mingxue glanced at the locked wooden door for the last time.

I know that today is destined to be a failure.

She originally thought that her melons were ripe and she would bring some to Chu Yu to try.

Unexpectedly, no one was seen, and he was almost caught as a thief.

Yi Mingxue suddenly felt bored again.

It's really unnecessary for me.

He is a member of the Chu family and is from Kyoto.

I have never seen or tasted anything good.

Come to think of it, this watermelon is not a rare thing to him.

Yi Mingxue turned around and prepared to leave.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and came back.

She placed the big watermelon on the stone pillar next to the door.

Afraid of being taken away, I found a dustpan to cover the watermelon.

The moment she didn't see anyone, she actually felt a little lost.

But she soon figured it out again.

No matter whether others are there or not, or whether they are curious about such a watermelon.

That's all his Chu Yu's business.

Since I wanted to give it away, I would give it away.

It's that simple.

In this way, Yi Mingxue left directly.

But no one noticed that the shadows of the trees on the opposite side were swaying.

The two guards looked at each other.

"Why didn't you open the door just now? Miss Yi seemed a little sad."

"Then why don't you go? The master is not here. Do you think Miss Yi wants to see us?"

…

When we rushed back, it was already dark.
