That night, Shi Chunfen and Li Yan were led by the waiter at the shop to the place where meals were delivered to the refugees. Before going there, Shi Chunfen had thought about notifying Chu Run first, but he was afraid that the result of his investigation would be against Yu Atu.
It was unfavorable, so after thinking over and over again, I decided to wait until the results came out.
In order to ensure safety, she and Li Yan brought almost all the followers they could find, and spent extra money to hire a group of local thugs before setting off in a grand way.
When a group of people arrived there, the waiter pointed out a location for them from a distance and quickly applied oil on their soles.
Shi Chunfen and Li Yan looked from a distance and saw rows of simple wooden sheds in front of them. Under the wooden sheds, there was a large area filled with refugees and beggars. It was hard to tell who was who among them, let alone at night.
, even if they came here in broad daylight, it would probably be difficult to find the person they were looking for.
"What should I do, grandma?" Li Yan became worried, "If we rush forward hastily, we might alert the enemy. Besides, no one except the fourth grandma knows the man she is talking about. Do we really want to find a needle in a haystack?"
Shi Chunfen fell silent. She also knew that now was not a good time to go forward and look for someone, but if they just went back like this, they wouldn't be able to drag Yu Atu to identify him. Will the clues be broken after finding this point?
"We have a solution!" Shi Chunfen's eyes lit up as he remembered something, "We can bribe a few refugees and ask them to help us investigate!"
"This..." Li Yan was still a little hesitant. After all, she was not in her own territory. She was afraid of getting into trouble. "If they let out the news, we would be the unlucky ones."
Those people were able to replace the farmhouse with a pond in one morning, which showed that their methods were extraordinary. Li Yan was very worried that the people they brought to Shuzhou this time were no match for them.
"I can't control that much anymore." Shi Chunquin insisted: "Let's take it one step at a time."
She wanted to find out the truth, not only to clear Yu Usagi's name, but also to return a favor to her.
She had never forgotten why the other party ran away. If Yu Atu really wanted her to find out about the jade shop owner and had been secretly on her side, then she had no reason not to help her.
Seeing her insistence, Li Yan had no choice but to call an attendant, give him a few words of advice, and then give him a large bag of silver.
After the other party left, she said: "Grandma, the matter has been settled. Let's go back and wait for the news!"
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly. She also knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. If they were targeted by those refugees, they might not be able to escape unscathed.
The two of them returned to the inn smoothly and rested for the night before arriving at Yu Atu's room. She had to ask Yu Atu clearly about the details of the matter.
Before she entered, Shi Cui had already come, but Yu Atu didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he forced her to go back to rest. So when Shi Chunquin came over, there was no one else in the room except Cai Die.
.
"Usagi, can I talk to you?" Shi Chunquin looked at her seriously, with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
Yu Atu glanced at her, turned to look at Cai Die, and said calmly: "You go out first, I will talk to my cousin alone."
Cai Die nodded slightly and walked out of the room with three steps. She originally wanted to stay at the door and eavesdrop, but when she went out, she found Li Yan staring at her eagerly outside, so she had to leave the scene in a dignified manner.
Because Li Yan was guarding outside, Shi Chunfen spoke without any scruples, "Caidie was sent by my second uncle to keep an eye on you, right?"
Yu Atu looked at her deeply and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think so." Shi Chunfen knew that she needed his trust, so she gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, "If you want to contact the jade shop owner, there is no need to take my aunt and I with you.
Your relationship is not harmonious, even if you go out alone, I will never doubt you."
Seeing that she didn't hesitate when she answered, Yu Atu's expression softened slightly, "I'm not doing it for you, I just don't want to ruin Fourth Master's affairs."
She is not a fool, so she can naturally see that the relationship between Shi Chunfen and Chu Run is extraordinary.
If he continued to side with Chu Shun and go against Shi Chunquin, he would probably arouse his husband's disgust, so he just went along with the flow and helped Shi Chunquin.
After hearing her explanation, although Haru Equinox was a little disappointed, she was still happy overall. As long as Usagi was willing to stand by her side, she didn't care what the other party was doing.
"Then what exactly is the second uncle planning to do? Is he trying to ruin my decision to buy a shop?" Shi Chunquin asked.
Yu Atu nodded slightly and handed her the blueprint of the shop he had obtained from the jade shop owner, "He asked the jade shop owner to give it to me. I must persuade you to buy this shop, but what exactly do you want to do?"
What the name is, I don’t know very well.”
Shi Chunfen took the drawing and looked at it several times. There was nothing special about it. It could even be said to be a good shop.
Why does Chu Shun want to do this?
"I'll ask Li Yan to come over and copy a copy later and study it slowly." Shi Chunquin rolled up the drawing again and gave it back to Yu Atu, "I'd better keep this copy with you to avoid arousing Cai Die's suspicion."
"Okay." Yu Atu nodded, put away the drawings, and the two fell into silence again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shi Chunfen took the initiative and said: "About the man who kidnapped you, are you really not going to investigate further?"
Seeing that she still knew about this, Yu Atu's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "Since Fourth Master believes in me, it doesn't matter whether I investigate or not."
Seeing her sudden change in attitude, Shi Chunfen thought she was angry at him for embarrassing her by asking about the matter, so he quickly explained: "I found some clues here, so I want to ask your opinion. If you don't want to check,
I’ll just stop.”
"What clue?" Yu Atu became nervous.
Seeing that she was interested, Shi Chunquin continued: "Do you still remember that night when we went out for dinner, you said a few inappropriate words in the restaurant?"
Yu Atu was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned cold, "Remember."
Shi Chunfen smiled bitterly and said: "It was because of those few words that aroused the dissatisfaction of the refugees in the city, so they joined forces to plot against you."
"How unreasonable?!" Yu Atu stood up suddenly, "What a bunch of untouchables, how could they use such despicable tricks?!"
Seeing how excited she was, Shi Chunfen quickly stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit down, "Can you please keep your voice down, for fear that people outside won't hear you? This is an inn, not Chu's house, and the sound insulation is not that good."
Hearing her reminder, Yu Atu calmed down, but his face was still full of anger, "I just said a few words to them, but they actually want to destroy my innocence. A pariah is a pariah and does not deserve any sympathy!"
