Shen Shuangshuang paused again while washing the dishes.
"Is it—dangerous?"
Li Ke glanced at Shen Shuangshuang.
He paused for a moment before nodding.
"Um."
Shen Shuangshuang's body stiffened.
"But things will be sorted out soon."
Shen Shuangshuang was agitated.
He raised his head and looked at Li Ke again.
"Is it related to the bandit suppression you mentioned before?"
"What happened? Who are your master and Mr. Yin?" Shen Shuangshuang felt depressed and asked directly.
Seeing Li Ke's face froze, a flash of irritation flashed across Shen Shuang's face.
"When we gave you ginseng, we agreed on the terms. You have to tell me the real situation."
"This family includes not only me, but also my mother and Ling'er. I can't just sit back and watch them fall into danger."
Li Ke's heart skipped a beat.
"It's not that serious." He said.
Seeing Shen Shuangshuang looking at him with hatred in his eyes, Li Ke couldn't think more and quickly explained the situation.
It turns out that Murong Zhan was injured really because of the suppression of bandits.
Someone in the government colluded with bandits, causing Murong Zhan to be assassinated and injured.
Because of the serious injury and the pursuit of soldiers, Li Ke took the man back to Dahe Village for diagnosis and treatment by Shen.
"Shangyang Town is now in chaos." Li Ke sighed.
"For your own safety, you'd better not go to town tomorrow."
Shen Shuangshuang frowned.
"How can that be done? I still have to go to Zuixian Tower to deliver the goods."
"If there is chaos in the city, the restaurant will not open. If you go, you probably won't be able to enter the city."
Shen Shuangshuang looked suspicious.
Li Ke sighed.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the city gate after dawn and have a look. But be careful when you go there, so that no one can catch you."
Shen Shuangshuang finally believed it.
"Then... if Shangyang Town really falls into the hands of bandits, what will we do next?" The yard she bought and the shops she rented were all in the town.
Also, if the bandits want to occupy the city, they must trace the whereabouts of these people.
It would be a dangerous situation if they were found at her house.
A cold light flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
"It's not a bad thing for them to enter the city. Master can just catch them all."
Shen Shuangshuang was shocked.
Li Ke looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"Don't worry, the banditry will be over in three days."
Shen Shuangshuang's heart sank, and she became more and more curious about the identity of Li Ke's master.
"I cannot tell you the identity of the master for the time being. As for Mr. Yin, he is the master's uncle and a staff member."
"There are also Wei San and Zhang Yi. They should have introduced themselves to you. They are my subordinates and follow my orders."
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Li Ke but said nothing.
The situation was roughly as she understood and guessed.
"Before dawn, I will take Zhang Yi back to Shangyang Town to inquire about the situation. Master and Young Master Yin will stay at home temporarily. Wei San will stay to protect the safety of the family."
"When the time comes, you should pay more attention and make sure to hide them well. Also, if you need anything, you can ask Wei San to do it."
"As for the tofu business at home-" Li Ke looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"We have to stop for three days."
Outsiders cannot know about the people coming to the house.
At this time, outsiders cannot be allowed to come to work at home.
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
She can still distinguish the seriousness of things.
Li Ke felt relieved when he heard Shen Shuangshuang responded.
Just as he was about to say something to comfort Shen Shuangshuang, footsteps came from the door.
"I'm going to accompany Ling'er." So, Li Ke changed his words.
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Zhang Yi who appeared at the door and said "hmm".
Zhang Yi regretted it when he walked in and saw the couple.
He came at the wrong time, and the boss looked at him too fiercely...
"Hey, sister-in-law, can you give me a medicine bowl? My master is awake, and Mr. Yin asked me to deliver the medicine to my master," Zhang Yi said.
"Just use that bowl." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
Half an hour later.
Shen Shuangshuang finally tidied up the house and took a basin of hot water back to his room.
At this time, Mrs. Shen had been helped over, and the little baby was not asleep yet.
Shen Shuangshuang came in, sent hot water over, and helped her mother-in-law and son wash up.
Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter-in-law several times, wanting to wait for Shen Shuangshuang to ask first.
As a result, she and her grandson had all washed up, and her daughter-in-law didn't say anything.
Seeing her daughter-in-law carrying water out, Mrs. Shen raised her hand towards Shen Shuangshuang's back, but still did not stop the person.
After another appointment for a cup of tea, Shen Shuangshuang came back.
Seeing her mother-in-law sitting on the kang, and her son in the back already asleep under the quilt, Shen Shuangshuang felt relieved.
"Why are you still not sleeping?" Shen Shuangshuang walked to the bed and was about to help Shen take off her coat.
Shen cooperated.
"These people from home -" he started.
Shen Shuangshuang looked at Mr. Shen.
"My husband has already told me."
Shen was surprised.
"Say-what did you say?" he asked slightly nervously.
Shen Shuangshuang smiled and looked at Mr. Shen.
"The one who said he was injured is his master. And the young master Yin is his master's brother-in-law."
"He also said that his master was injured while fighting bandits. He will have to stay at our house for three days."
Shen felt relieved.
Seeing his daughter-in-law still looking at him with a smile, he felt a little guilty.
"Okay, mother, please lie down." Shen Shuangshuang helped Shen take off the last piece of clothing and said.
Mrs. Shen complied, lying down and turned sideways, turning her back on her daughter-in-law to face her little grandson.
Shen Shuangshuang didn't care and started to take off his coat.
After leaving my inner clothes on, I went to sleep at the end of the kang.
Then he blew out the oil lamp not far away.
The room instantly became dark.
Shen Shuangshuang closed his eyes and slept.
Mr. Shen, who was sleeping on the other side, couldn't sleep.
After turning over twice in a row, he finally spoke in a low voice.
"Shuangshuang——" shouted.
Shen Shuangshuang raised the corners of his mouth, but did not open his eyes.
"What's wrong, mother?" she asked.
Shen didn't reply.
After a while, just when Shen Shuangshuang thought that her mother-in-law would not speak again, Mrs. Shen spoke again.
"The injured person in the room has a distinguished status. He is the third son of the current Holy Emperor." After saying this, Mrs. Shen felt much more relaxed.
Shen Shuangshuang's heart lifted.
What, prince?
A smell of conspiracy came over me.
Why was he being plotted by bandits? It wasn't some kind of palace fight, right?
"In addition, His Highness the Third Prince is not only Ke'er's master, but also his cousin." Shen continued.
Shen Shuangshuang's heart suddenly shook.
I just want to scold him.
This bloody plot...
Well, according to the plot of the bloody drama, the previous abnormalities of the mother-in-law can be explained.
"Don't tell me that our family came to Dahe Village incognito after being convicted? Also, our family used to work in Taiyuan Hospital?" Shen Shuangshuang asked.
This time it was Shen's turn to be shocked.
But it only took a moment before Shen nodded.
"Um."
Then he told his story.
It turns out that Shen is the second daughter of Shen Liao, the former director of the Taiyuan Hospital.
And Shen Liao's eldest daughter is Concubine Jing in the palace.
That year, Concubine Jing gave birth to the third prince Murong, and after the war, she fell into harem disputes.
Thank you caroltetu for this little cutie’s tip.
