"Dr. Shen, could you please invite me to sit in your village for a while?"
There was a kind smile on the corner of Xiangxiang's mouth.
Shen Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the city to deliver goods. If you have something to do, girl, why don't we find a place in the city to talk?"
"Okay, whatever Boss Shen does." Xiangxiang lowered the car curtain and asked the groom to follow Shen Zhiyao.
After Shen Zhiyao sent the tomatoes to Chen Cuihua at the No. 3 store, she told Chen Cuihua that she would come back later.
Afterwards, she and Xiangxiang went to a nearby teahouse.
"The tea here is not bad." Xiangxiang sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Don't Mr. Shen be curious about what I want to do with you?" Seeing that Shen Zhiyao looked calm and didn't speak, Xiangxiang put down her teacup and looked at her curiously.
Shen Zhiyao: "No matter if I am curious or not, you will still tell me."
Xiangxiang raised her lips and smiled: "Dr. Shen, why don't you guess who asked me to come?"
"It's nothing more than Mr. Shen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry." Shen Zhiyao's tone was very firm.
Hearing this, Xiangxiang became curious: "Why is Mr. Shen so guessing?"
"It's very simple." Shen Zhiyao guessed it the moment she saw Xiangxiang.
"Last year, Shen Sili owed Yihonglou fifty taels of silver. The madam of Yihonglou actually agreed to use my sister to pay off the debt. But it only takes a few taels of silver to buy a little girl, and the more expensive ones only cost more than a dozen taels. The old bustard It’s not reasonable to go to Lihua Village to pick her up in person.”
"Besides, the madam was not obsessed with my sister that day. Judging from the results, her purpose seemed more like to publicize the matter and let Shen Sili's reputation be ruined."
"Looking at it this way, the person behind the scenes should have a grudge against Shen Sili, or the Shen family, and they have a grudge against them, and they have the ability to drive the madam. I guess there is no one except Mr. Shen, especially Mr. Shen. Back to the time period of his own daughter."
"Master Shen and the others are driving the bustard. If this premise is true, then the bustard of Yihonglou, or rather you, should have cooperation or a close relationship with Master Shen and the others."
"It makes sense that you came to me today because of Master Shen's entrustment."
As for why Xiangxiang came to her, she had some idea.
Xiangxiang was noncommittal to Shen Zhiyao's guess.
After a moment, he smiled and said: "It's also possible that Shen Sili offended our Yihonglou, so mother wants him to be ruined."
"Well, you're right, it's possible." Shen Zhiyao nodded, "Then, just tell me, why are you here with me?"
It seems that it doesn't matter who asked Xiangxiang to come.
Xiangxiang said instead: "Mr. Shen's family guessed it right. It was Mr. Shen and the others. To be precise, it was Mr. Shen's eldest son, Mr. Shen, who asked me to come."
"Master Shen asked me to find a way to get close to you, gain your trust, and then let you return to the Shen family in the capital."
Obviously, Xiangxiang also knew about the relationship between Shen Zhiyao and Shen Xiao.
"Then it seems that Miss Xiangxiang doesn't want to do what he said?" She came directly to show her cards, and Xiangxiang didn't know what her plan was.
"That's right." Xiangxiang nodded, "Mr. Shen and his family didn't try to retain Dong Shen's family at first. Now that Dong Shen's family has gained some fame in Tongfang County, they will let you go back. I'm afraid it will be beneficial to Dong Shen's family."
"Why are you telling me this?" Shen Zhiyao was confused: "Aren't you being entrusted by Shen Xiao?"
"Because..." Xiangxiang's fingers swept around the mouth of the tea cup, "I wanted to say it, so I said it."
She had been favored by Shen Xiao before, but in the case of Shen Sili, she had already done something for Shen Xiao and repaid the favor.
Shen Xiao still wanted to give her instructions, but she didn't want to.
What's more, she is leaving Tongfang County soon.
"Dr. Shen, I admire you very much."
With these words, Xiangxiang stood up to say goodbye and left the teahouse.
Really no intention?
Shen Zhiyao raised her eyebrows when she saw her leaving neatly.
However, regardless of the real reason why Xiangxiang told her this, Shen Zhiyao was determined not to return to Shen Xiao's home.
A few days after Shen Zhiyao met Xiangxiang, she heard that diners at Shen's Shiguang No. 3 store were chatting about Xiangxiang leaving Yihong Building and missing.
"Hey, why do you think this girl Xiangxiang left? I haven't had a chance to take a look at her. How can I learn more about her?" a diner sighed.
"It sounds like you have money to go to Yihong Tower, but that's a gold-selling cave." Another diner ridiculed.
The sighing diner curled his lips: "If I don't go in, I'll just wait outside the door for a chance to take a look at Miss Xiangxiang."
"Cut~"
In Tongfang County, there are many men who regret that Xiangxiang left Yihonglou, and there are also some who have never heard of Xiangxiang, such as Wang Zibao.
He is now focused on getting close to Chen Cuihua, but he has to wait in a restaurant. By the time he gets off work, Shen's Shiguang No. 3 store will have closed long ago.
On this day, Wang Zibao saw that there were not many customers in the restaurant, so he pretended to have a stomachache and asked for leave from the shopkeeper.
After leaving the restaurant, he went straight to the dock.
Halfway through, he thought of something and bought a candied haws.
Holding the candied haws in hand, Wang Zibao waited at Shen's Shiguang No. 3 store until Chen Cuihua closed, and then he immediately came forward diligently.
"Cuihua, I didn't expect to meet you here again. We are really destined."
"I bought your favorite candied haws. Here."
His sudden appearance almost startled Chen Cuihua.
Seeing Wang Zibao with a smile on his face, Chen Cuihua avoided him like the plague, saying "stay away from me" in disgust, and quickly walked to the front of the pier to find Mrs. Wu and go back together.
A few days later, when Shen Zhiyao went to the store to deliver tomatoes, she saw Wang Zibao and asked Chen Cuihua in confusion: "What is he doing?"
"He has been here these past few days. He either smiles at me or wants to give me this or that kind of gadget. It's so disgusting. I don't know what he wants." Chen Cuihua felt that the prince bag was like a piece of brown candy and she couldn't even tear it off. .
"It's either for wealth or wealth. It's an unlucky thing. You have to prevent him from getting close to you." Shen Zhiyao took a look and felt that both of Prince Bao's eyes were full of calculations.
"Zhiyao, how can I prevent him from getting close to me?" Chen Cuihua asked in a low voice.
Shen Zhiyao waved to her and whispered a few words to her.
On this day, Shen's restaurant closed later than usual.
Chen Cuihua also walked forward when she saw Wang Zibao this time, but she didn't walk fast or slowly, and she didn't go to see Mrs. Wu.
Soon, Chen Cuihua walked to a deserted alley.
"Cuihua, wait for me, I have something to tell you." Seeing no one around, Wang Zibao ran two steps in joy, trying to catch up with Chen Cuihua.
At this time, a sack covered his head from behind, and then, dense fists fell on him, causing him to scream in pain.
Shen Zhiyao only punched him once and knocked him to the ground, leaving the rest to Chen Cuihua.
Before Wang Zibao's voice was about to attract someone, Shen Zhiyao and Chen Cuihua quickly left the alley.
"If he dares to come again in the future, just hit him once." Shen Zhiyao unclenched her fists and turned to ask Chen Cuihua: "Do you feel good?"
"It's great!" Chen Cuihua nodded heavily: "I didn't expect that I would be so happy beating this disgusting man."
"Then hit the target next time."
