It was no secret that Su Niang was sent to Yizhuang, but she came back from the dead, and not many people knew that the Why family gave birth to a child.
How did Shen Chongming know? Could it be that he was checking up on her?
Her eyes rolled around half a circle, and she asked tentatively——
"You asked me to find Yizhuang?"
"Do you know that I am Zhou Yu'an?"
"I shouldn't have exposed any flaws, right?"
Seeing her expression of seeking knowledge, Shen Chongming wanted to laugh but held it back.
"First tell me what happened on the wedding night?" He leaned over and put his face close to hers: "You are the one who holds me responsible, and you are the one who gave up on me from beginning to end? Zhou Yu'an, are you short of money?"
"Haha." Zhou Yu'an smiled and took two steps back.
"Answer me!" Shen Chongming approached: "Am I worth two hundred taels in your eyes?"
"No! It's not like that." Zhou Yu'an waved his hands quickly: "Listen to my explanation... No, it's not an explanation, it's an explanation, a serious explanation. Don't look at me with such a scary look, I know it's me I have my own reasons for selling you cheaply."
"Zhou Yu'an!" Shen Chongming grabbed her wrist, "Which one is the real you?"
"I don't understand what you mean!" Zhou Yu'an swallowed and suddenly remembered that she had a different personality in Qinglu.
She didn't know how Shen Chongming recognized her. She only knew that his eyes were staring at her, as if he wanted to get under her face. Her disguise technique is different from those tricks used in the world to fool people. Even if she stands in front of the real owner, it can be difficult for people to distinguish. It was because he was too confident that he looked so panicked after being recognized by Shen Chongming again.
"Situation forces me to have no choice. I am who I am, Zhou Yu'an." He coughed dryly and looked away. As soon as he moved half an inch, he was held by his shoulders and pushed against the wall.
"Zhou Yu'an." Shen Chongming whispered her name: "I don't want to talk to your face."
"I know, there is nothing we can do about it. If I don't pretend to be Chunhong, how can I find out the news in the house." Zhou Yu'an tried his best to comfort: "Ma Gu, she didn't give you a hard time, right? She promised me that she would treat you well. He shouldn’t break his promise.”
"You haven't answered me yet!" Shen Chongming glanced at her, his eyes like a cold pool seeming to suck people in.
Zhou Yu'an immediately lowered his head and whispered: "Isn't there nothing I can do? Since you checked me, you know that I am not from Fuyang County. I hid here because I was hiding from my enemies."
Zhou Yu'an glanced at Shen Chongming, his face was not red, and he was making up half-truths and half-falsehoods without his heart beating.
"I really want to marry you, but God cannot see my happiness, so I let those enemies find me." Zhou Yu'an said with red eyes: "I like you, but I can't drag you with me. Die. Shen Chongming, I can't be so selfish. Although Chunfeng Tower is not a good place, it can make you have enough food and clothing. If your family comes looking for you, you can follow them home."
Shen Chongming glanced at her lightly and said, "Is this the reason why you sold me to Chunfeng Tower?"
Zhou Yu'an was startled for a moment. She knew that Shen Chongming didn't believe what she had just made up. Seeing him walking towards the door, she hurriedly followed him and tugged on his sleeve: "That silver is from Magu." You insisted on giving it to me. Of course, I am also really short of money."
"Zhou Yu'an, do you think I believe what you say?" Shen Chongming said directly: "Since you are avoiding the enemy, why didn't you just fly away and return to Fuyang County? What is there in the secret room of the He family that you want?"
"Of course it's gold and silver treasures!" Zhou Yu'an bit his lip in frustration, "I don't know why I was so unlucky! Believe me, I escaped, I really escaped, and left Fuyang County as fast as possible. I was reluctant to spend money and didn't hire a carriage. I ran to the city gate with the two hundred taels of silver Magu gave me, and the soles of my shoes were worn out."
The corners of Shen Chongming's mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Are the soles of your shoes worn out?"
"If you don't believe me, just look at it! Forgot, it's not this pair, these are Chunhong's shoes." Zhou Yu'an tugged on Shen Chongming's sleeves: "What I said is the truth!"
"Why go to Yizhuang?"
"If I told you that I was attracted to the broken carriage that the He family used to transport the body, would you believe it?" Zhou Yu'an blinked: "No matter how broken the carriage is, it still has four wheels and four legs. It is better than me driving barefoot."
Zhou Yuan scratched Shen Chongming's sleeves with his nails, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"I followed the He family's carriage to Yizhuang, and met Su Niang who was still breathing. You said that as a doctor, I can't ignore death, right?"
"Su Niang is alive and the child is born. I can't just watch their mother and son go back to this dragon's den to die, right? I am soft-hearted and gave them the two hundred taels of silver."
"What does this have to do with your home?"
"Husband, you really don't know the suffering in this world!" Zhou Yu'an pinched the back of Shen Chongming's hand: "It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Even though I have good medical skills, I still have to eat and drink on the way to escape. The money is gone, and I always have to think about it. There are other ways. The He family has always bullied men and women. Is it too much to ask them to spend some money? Besides, I saved He Bingtian's son, so I should get some medical expenses. "
The sentence "husband" made Shen Chongming feel uncomfortable.
"You and Chunhong are old acquaintances?"
"No!" Zhou Yu'an shook his head and said sincerely: "Chunhong was introduced by Su Niang. She said that there are three keys in the He family's secret room. The one on He Bingtian can be used by Chunhong to help me. She and Chunhong are old acquaintances, quite a bit. It's a matter of affection. I managed to sneak in, but He Bingtian died and you snatched the key."
"I will not break my promise to you." Shen Chongming let go of his hand and subconsciously said softly: "Leave the hairpin matter to me. You can find a way to get the hairpin from Mrs. He."
After saying that, he reminded her: "You can use your disguise technique to start with the nanny next to her."
Zhou Yu'an responded in a low voice, and subconsciously pulled Shen Chongming's sleeves with his fingers: "How did you recognize me?"
"Feeling!" Shen Chongming glanced meaningfully at the pulled sleeve. Zhou Yu'an smiled coquettishly and curled his fingers back.
Over in the main hall, everyone watching the excitement dispersed. Zhou Yu'an avoided the patrolling servants and sneaked into Aunt Xu's yard. She sat on the roof, holding her chin in one hand and playing with the tiles with the other, listening to the sounds coming from the house.
"I should tell you what I do when I do something. I know how I treat you. If you hide it like this, does it mean you don't trust me?"
Zhou Yu'an leaned on the ridge of the roof, looked at the scorching sun and said, "Isn't it normal that he doesn't believe you?"
"I know that there is a secret hidden in the master's hairpin, and I also know that the secret is related to the secret room of the He family. But the master belongs to me. If I don't want anything, why bother to sacrifice the near and far away to miss the secret that the master has locked in the secret room? Something. If the master doubts me, why not suspect that girl (named) Chun Hong? Her background is not right, and the way she looks at the master is unusual, I feel...she is the thief hiding in the house."
Aunt Xu is afraid that she has a grudge against Chunhong and is targeting Chunhong.
Zhou Yu'an rubbed his ears, put the tiles back into place, and said softly: "Perhaps, I can persuade Chunhong to change her idea of revenge. For example, become the sole heir of the He family!"
