The weather in the capital was extremely dry. It rained all night the night before, and the ground was dry the next day. There was no trace of a heavy rain at all.
Su Yao was standing under the eaves, watching the maids dodging the large white geese chasing people on the hillside not far away. He couldn't help but find it funny. After a while, Ruan Xiaojiu came over from the corridor and stopped in front of Su Yao, and reported to her softly: "Miss, the person has been sent out."
The big white goose on the hillside flapped its wings and flew far away. The group of girls were so scared that their faces turned pale and they ran away screaming.
Su Yao withdrew his gaze and hummed.
Ruan Xiaojiu followed for a few steps and couldn't help asking Su Yao, "Miss, we spent so much effort to save Die Wu, is it really worth it? What's the point of sending her to Huizhou... Miss, I don't understand."
The big white goose couldn't catch up with the people, so it stopped and pecked its feathers proudly, then went into the water with a cooing sound, refreshed itself.
Su Yao curled his lips: "She is not important. What is important is that she did know Shen Yaoniang. She came to the capital from Hunan with Shen Yaoniang. When she arrived at Juhai Manor, she also saw with her own eyes how Shen Yaoniang got into trouble. That's enough."
Ruan Xiaojiu seemed to be thinking about something.
Huizhou.
For several days in a row, Mr. Duan, the owner of Baoqing Silk Shop, a time-honored brand in the city, was gloomy and irritable.
The people below had to lower their voices even when speaking, for fear of accidentally offending the God of Wealth. Everyone knew that Mr. Duan was one of the biggest businessmen in Huizhou City, and now he was the vice president of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce. If he frowned, naturally countless people would be willing to come and share his worries.
Why did Boss Duan get so angry this time? No one knew, and many people's flattery hit the horse's leg.
So when Boss Duan's brother-in-law hurried into the study, Boss Duan scolded him a few words in a very impatient tone and was about to drive away this brother-in-law who always made him worry.
This time, Master Chen was not afraid of his brother-in-law. He looked at him with wide eyes and said, "I have already found out the whereabouts of the girl from the Shen family!"
With just these words, Boss Duan stood up from behind his desk and walked quickly to Master Chen: "What did you say?!"
"She is Old Man Shen's little daughter. She has been raised in Lord Xu's house. I know!" Young Master Chen puffed out his chest proudly, showing that he knew everything. Seeing Boss Duan looking at him, he hurriedly said, "I heard you talking about this with the people sent by Old Man Shen some time ago. Do you want to send Shen Yao Niang to the sea, but the Xu family won't agree?"
Boss Duan was a little impatient: "Stop talking nonsense, what do you know? Tell me now!"
Young Master Chen touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, if you want to listen, then I will tell you straight away, that Shen Yaoniang is no longer in the Xu family."
Boss Duan gave his brother-in-law a deep look and said, "Don't keep me in suspense. What do you mean? If he's not at the Xu family, then where else could he be?"
"Lost." Young Master Chen said confidently, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, I have accurate information. The person is no longer in the Xu family, and he is dead. He was killed in Juhai Manor in the capital for being disobedient."
Boss Duan's eyes shrank, and he grabbed Master Chen's collar: "Really?!"
"Brother-in-law, why would I lie to you?" Young Master Chen patted his chest, lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously: "Brother-in-law, I'll bring someone to you and you'll know. Don't worry, after knowing this news, you will definitely be qualified to board Old Man Shen's ship to meet Old Man Shen."
Boss Duan looked gloomy.
That night, Boss Duan followed Master Chen onto a large ship and met the Hua girl that Master Chen had mentioned.
Boss Duan was a shrewd and cautious person. As soon as he saw the girl's behavior, he knew that what Master Chen said was probably true. The person in front of him must be a trained female historian. He was anxious and did not beat around the bush. He asked directly, "Do you know Shen Yaoniang?"
Die Wu nodded and answered affirmatively, then lowered her voice and recounted in detail the process of how she and Shen Yao Niang entered the capital and then entered Juhai Manor.
The more Boss Duan listened, the more frightened he became.
He had met Shen Yaoniang several times, and Diewu's description was completely consistent with Shen Yaoniang's appearance and temperament.
He found it hard to believe: "Why would she go to Juhai Manor?!" Su Yao curled his lips: "She is not important. What is important is that she did know Shen Yao Niang and came to the capital from Hunan with Shen Yao Niang. When she arrived at Juhai Manor, she also saw with her own eyes how Shen Yao Niang got into trouble. That's enough."
