Flowstone's way of sneaking in was quite smooth.
He is very familiar with Duke Huai's territory, the territory where he was born and raised, especially Hefeng City where the Ji Pingtian family is located. When he said that he was a businessman who immigrated to Yuxi City from the territory of King Huai, and now he returned to his hometown to do business, the guard in charge of the investigation was a little skeptical at first, but asked some secret things compared with Fengcheng, Liu Shi All the answers were fluent, and the doubts in the minds of the guards naturally disappeared.
Flowstone successfully entered Windy City, and rented a room in an unremarkable hotel.
After that, Liushi got in touch with a grandmother named Luo Mei in the Yoshihirata family.
Luo Mei was originally a woman who took care of Carissa's daily life, and her relationship with Liushi was not very good. The rift between the two started from the day Liushi entered the Jipingtian family, because in Luo Mei's view, the eldest lady would marry such an unremarkable little person must be because Liushi blinded her eyes with rhetoric. Even when Liushi first came, Romee secretly replaced the refined salt in his dipping dish with lemon powder, or intentionally knocked over the tin bucket filled with water when he just fell asleep, etc. Have been having trouble with him.
Even after being together for many years, she still often whispers in Liushi's ear:
— "Miss is willing to marry you, it is your good fortune, it is because of the virtues you have accumulated in your previous life."
— "If you dare to treat Miss badly, you don't need to take action from the master and wife. I will teach you a lesson first!"
—"Look at other people's uncles, they are excellent and hardworking, how about you? Sitting on the mountain, sooner or later the young lady will be poor too."
Romei was loyal to Carissa. After Carissa died, she stayed in the Yoshihirata family, and now she doesn't know what to do. Since Liu Shi was kicked out of the gate of the Jipingtian family, the two have not been in touch for three years.
But Liu Shi still remembers that when he was kicked out from the Jipingtian family, the whole family was full of blank stares and ridicule, only Luo Mei made him a basket of scones without saying a word, and asked him to take it on the road Eat, still muttering in his mouth:
—"Don't die outside, it's too cheap for you. You have to live and always think about Miss. Every time you think about it, you can't wait to give yourself two slaps, and your heart is bitter and astringent. This is the redemption."
Liu Shi guarded the inn for a few days, and finally saw Luo Mei.
She had a bad life, the obvious kind. The clothes were patched, and the hair was disheveled. He was already old, his hair was already gray, and he shrunk his hands, looking especially bleak.
After seeing Liushi, Luo Mei still didn't have a good tone, and the opening was a series of merciless blows:
"Excuse me to come back? What's the matter, do you want to ask the family for forgiveness?"
"Can't live outside? Tsk tsk, life is not very good. How thin have you become? Can't afford to eat?"
"In the past few years, I've heard that there are too many bad rumors about you. You deserve it! You did that to Miss back then, and now you want to get forgiveness?"
Liu Shi lowered his head and let Luo Mei scold him without saying a word.
Romey said he was tired and sighed. She took off one shoe, pulled out the insole, and poured it a few times, and a paper bag came out from it. The paper bag was wrapped in many layers, and she unwrapped it layer by layer until finally, there were five silver coins and a few copper coins inside. She counted, then folded the paper bag casually, threw it on the table, and said:
"You, you, you can't have a little backbone. You have been kicked out, and you still want to come back? You have hands and feet, can you do something? Can't you survive if you do something? Don't always think about what you have. I was thinking of taking a shortcut, taking a shortcut, etc. If you want to come back, they don’t want you. After the lady left, my salary also dropped. It used to be that I had two silver coins per month as a subsidy, but now it’s just a few The copper coins will have to be lost by the big maids above. You have saved up this money in the past three years, and you use it first. Don’t even think about returning to the family, why don’t you stretch your face over and let them beat you?”
Liu Shi looked at the money on the table, and then glanced at Luo Mei's expression of hating iron and steel, and said with a wry smile:
"No. Grandma, you just keep it."
"Why are you pretending to be with me? If something happened, you will go back to Fengcheng again?"
Luo Mei didn't believe it, and tried to persuade him a few more words. Finally, Liushi opened his mouth and said:
"It's really not necessary. Grandma, I'm here this time to see Amo."
The expression on Romey's face froze for a moment,
It's not natural to say:
"What do you see her for? What is there to see? She is not as good as you. I found a new father before my father died. I love vanity and admiration at a young age. I really don't know who she looks like. Why does the young lady like you?" Such a heartless thing was born!"
Luo Mei's voice was not very polite, and the expression on his face was both angry and sad.
Liu Shi didn't understand what he meant, but he briefly told Luo Mei about the situation:
"Isn't Amo sick? I..."
Before he finished speaking, Romey, who was outspoken, had already interrupted him:
"Sick? What kind of sickness? What kind of sickness can you get from eating big fish and meat all day long? There is no one in the house who is healthier than her! I went to the one in my family, and my daddy was long and short all the time. Dare to treat her badly? You are still sick, even if you are sick, half of the doctors in Fengcheng have to come and serve her! You, a guy who can't afford food, still come to care about her?"
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and said involuntarily:
"I received a letter from Ji Hirata's family, saying that Amo was sick and wanted to see me, and asked me to come to Fengcheng..."
Romey frowned, and stretched out his palm dryly:
"Bring it to me!"
Liu Shi took the letter from his pocket and handed it to Luo Mei. Luo Mei unfolded it, took a closer look, and said doubtfully:
"It's strange, this chapter is indeed a family chapter, and only people from the same family are qualified to make it. This kind of chapter is very difficult to forge, and you can tell it at a glance. I have been in Ji Hirata's family for decades. I still have this vision. But why... No! You son of a bitch... Hey! What are you doing back here! Go, go quickly! Run away before they find out! This is a game, a game to trick you back, people I'm just waiting for you to throw yourself into the trap foolishly! Calling you back at this time probably doesn't intend to let you continue to live!"
Romey looked quite flustered, grabbed the money on the table, quickly stuffed it into Liu Shi's pocket, and then kept pushing him from behind.
Liu Shi was still sitting on the chair, and didn't intend to stand up, but replied very seriously:
"I can't go."
He repeated it, and went on:
"I can't go... Since they use Amo as a bait, I can't leave like this. Otherwise, Amo may be in danger. I must see her, please help me."
