Shi Yan thought he had said something wrong and immediately changed the subject.

"Wife, how about I go catch some rabbits to play with?"

Song Tingran hugged Shi Yan and patted his back.

"I'm fine. Life goes on. Don't worry about me. I'm really fine."

Shi Yan naturally understood and also stroked her back, his knuckles clearly visible and the sunlight shining on them.

The two were hugging each other when the police came. Sang Cheng came to call them immediately and saw this scene.

He slightly avoided her gaze and said, "My dear wife, big brother, the people from the government office are here."

Song Tingran naturally let go and went to the door to greet him. He was an acquaintance, the team leader he had met in the mountains before.

"Miss Song, the county magistrate ordered me to tell you that the lost stones from the gambling stone shop have been found, but they were scattered along the official road. Some of the stones have been cut open, and you can see the quality inside. Many people rushed to grab them, and when our officials arrived, there were only a few left."

"Did this just happen?"

"Well, we have investigated and there are many people on the official road. If it was there before, we wouldn't have discovered it now."

Song Tingran still had many questions, so she invited the team leader to go into the house to talk, but the team leader refused. There were a lot of things to do in the government office, so she had to leave after she finished talking.

"Sir, since there are so many people on the official road, why were the people from the Sihai Escort Agency taken away so easily without anyone noticing?"

"Because the eight evil men's accomplices blocked the road ahead and bought some time. Since it was just a minor conflict, no one reported it to the government office."

"Did those eight people instruct you to do this?"

"Well, those eight people told us everything. They didn't hide anything. The reason they did all these things was that they were jealous of your good business. The county magistrate felt that they were not telling the truth. Whether there is any evidence or not, they will be locked up in the prison first, and then we will continue the investigation."

This is naturally not the truth. Even Sang Cheng can see that if they are just jealous of the business, there is no need to hire such a mysterious and ruthless organization.

It is difficult for ordinary people to even get in touch with them, not to mention that a large amount of money is needed.

"Sir, the people from the Sihai Escort Agency are still in the government office. What did they say?"

Song Tingran had too many questions she wanted to ask, so she could only ask them one by one.

"They are recuperating in the inn. We have hired a doctor for them. Some of them are seriously injured and some have been delayed. They can't leave Ping'an Town for a while."

The team leader was very patient and admired Song Tingran from the bottom of his heart.

"What information can I provide to the people from the Sihai Escort Agency?"

Song Tingran appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent.

"No, they don't even know how to get to the mountainside village. They only said that once you take off the blindfold, you will be deep in the mountains and unable to tell the direction. None of those people are weak in martial arts and are ruthless. They are all desperate criminals and there is no way we can defeat them."

"Okay, these officials, I understand. Is there anything the county magistrate needs my cooperation with?"

The team leader looked embarrassed.

"Miss Song, if you want to get your goods back, it may be a bit difficult. One is that you need to search door to door, and the other is that the person who picked up the stones may have just passed by Ping'an Town and has left. More importantly, it is difficult to judge the stones."

Song Tingran was silent. What on earth did the person behind this want to do?

"Also, the goods from the embroidery workshop are still not found."

"Thank you, officer. Please convey my gratitude to the county magistrate. As for the stone, I own it and will deal with it myself."

The team leader didn't expect Song Tingran to be so open-minded. It was said that those several large boxes of stones cost several thousand taels of silver.

"Okay, Miss Song, goodbye."

The leader left.

Song Tingran turned around and saw her family members standing behind her, all of them were watching her expression.

"Why are you all standing here? You just came back from Banshan Village and you're already feeling bored?"

Qiao Jinshu reacted quickly and went up to her and hugged her arm.

"Yes, I still remember that you wanted to take us to the south to play, and the children remember it too!"

The cubs also rushed over, and the scene suddenly became lively.

"Okay, I didn't forget."

Song Tingran grabbed Qiao Jinshu's ear, but didn't use much force, but he was grinning.

"Just remind me once a day."

"Okay, my dear wife, you said it, and I have plenty of time. I'll say it once a day, and once a day, until your ears are callused."

Song Tingran loosened his hand and tried to pull his other ear, but he dodged it nimbly.

The kids urged their mother to cheer for them, but Shi Yan helped Qiao Jinshu and got him several votes.

The courtyard of the Song family was filled with laughter and joy. Song Tingran finally caught Qiao Jinshu, and he ran so hard that his face turned red.

"Stop making trouble, my wife, you have great stamina."

Qiao Jinshu meant it literally, but Chang Yuqiao and Sang Cheng on the side showed meaningful smiles.

"Of course. I am also a person who exercises regularly, unlike you, Mr. Qiao, who is so elegant."

"Of course." After feeling proud, he realized something was wrong, "Ah, wife, are you saying that I've been able to eat a lot recently and gained weight?"

"I didn't say it, you did."

Qiao Jinshu touched his waist and regained his confidence. He was indeed not fat, and he was very proud of it.

Seeing that her family members were no longer so nervous, Song Tingran herself became less tense.

"Yuchen, tie up the carriage for me. I'm going to town."

After the words fell, Xiao Yuchen asked blankly: "Wife, what are you going to town for?"

Song Tingran beckoned, and Xiao Yuchen lowered himself. She put her arms around his neck, and he bent down even more.

"Let's go to the town to see Jiang Bai off. We are back now, so we must send his son over. We can also visit the gambling stone shop and settle some matters."

"it is good."

Song Tingran walked in through the small door with Xiao Yuchen. She looked back and saw that her family members were still there.

"Come back later to sign up. Raise your hand if you want to go with me!"

"Yeah! Woo!" The cubs looked around.

Shi Yan just looked at Song Tingran. He couldn't see through her, but he knew she was sad.

Xiao Yuchen was very fast, as he was used to doing this, and the carriage soon stopped in front of the Song family's door.

"Come on, raise your hands. Who wants to go to town with me to see Jiang Bai off?"

Song Tingran was sitting in the carriage. Xiao Yuchen had not planned to go there originally. She wanted to do some work at home as weeds had grown in the fields. However, she was forced to stay here.

Qiao Jinshu raised his hand very quickly.

"Get in the car, Jinshu."

Qiao Jinshu jumped on and the carriage swayed a bit.

Sang Cheng also raised his hand.

"on!"

Shi Yan raised his hand.

"on!"

Song Tingran looked again and found that no one raised their hand. She was filled with question marks.

"No one wants to go?"

The kids all shook their heads, and no husbands raised their hands.

Song Tingran locked eyes with Shi Yan, "Is it you?"

"Wife, I didn't do anything. It was the children who said they wanted to play at home." Be honest.

Doubtful.

Qiao Jinshu testified for Shi Yan, "Wife, big brother really didn't say anything. The children just asked where in the town we were going. He said we were going to the post house and the gambling stone shop, and then we would come back. The children didn't go there, saying they were playing house at home."
