After Xu Mengxiao and Lu He arrived at Wen's house, they found that Wen Changming was not at home. He had obviously asked his clerk to send them a message last night, saying that he had news.

Because she was busy with the opening of Taoyuan Township, Xu Mengxiao didn't have time to go find him, and she was too tired to move later, so she came over this morning.

"Is something wrong?" She knocked on the door again and frowned when she found that there was still no movement.

"Go in and take a look." Lu He looked at the Wen family's courtyard wall. It was not high and it was easy to climb over.

"You're in a physical condition, I'll go in and take a look first, and you wait for me outside." After saying that, Xu Mengxiao didn't wait for Lu He's reply, and took a running start, stepping on the stone wall to cross over.

When she landed, she realized that she seemed to have accidentally exposed some of her skills?

She also thought about the night before yesterday when she went to Duan Mansion in disguise, and the man named Mu Ying followed her quietly, almost not discovering the secret of her men's clothing.

Xu Mengxiao didn't care much.

Whether he finds out or not is a matter of time. Lu He didn't deliberately hide anything from her. If he wanted to know about her, she couldn't hide it anymore. She was tired of pretending all the time.

Anyway, he had already guessed it, right?

Xu Mengxiao walked into the Wen family's small courtyard. Although it was a little shabby, it was kept spotless. There was a loquat tree planted in the courtyard. It was the house left by Wen Changming's parents, and the brother and sister had always lived here.

Just as he was about to go in, there was a knock on the outer door. Xu Mengxiao came to her senses and hurried to open the door for Lu He.

"You don't have to keep an eye on me so closely." Xu Mengxiao thought he would feel relieved after meeting Wen Changming, but this guy...

"Go in." Lu He could only divert her attention. This was a little girl who didn't like to be controlled. Lu He didn't want her to notice his uncontrollable intention to restrain her.

Xu Mengxiao also successfully forgot about this incident and walked into the main room of the Wen family first. She was originally worried that something might happen to Wen Changming alone at home, but there was no one there.

"Did you go to the pastry shop?"

Lu He shook his head and was about to say something when he suddenly found a letter on the table.

"Let's go there and have a look." Xu Mengxiao turned around and seemed to catch a glimpse of Lu He putting away something, and asked doubtfully, "What did you find?"

Lu He shook his head again. On the way to the pastry shop, he excused himself to go to the toilet and opened the letter.

It was written in the tone of "Wen Changming". He told Xu Mengxiao to go to a place alone to find him, saying that he had something very important to tell her. He also repeatedly mentioned that he could not follow him or let himself know, otherwise Wen Changming Yue's life is in danger.

Lu He raised the corners of his lips meaninglessly, saying "Wen Changming" because he knew that the other party was not that stupid.

However, he still squeezed the letter into a ball.

At this time, Xu Mengxiao came over and said, "Are you okay? I feel something is wrong. Let's go check it out quickly. The Wen brothers and sisters have been implicated by me."

Although Cao Xinghua's methods were a little difficult, she was no match for Wen Changming.

But it's different when Xu Laoer is added, especially Xu Laoer, who has hit a wall recently and failed to succeed. After he can't deal with himself, he will start from other places.

He might even be cruel!

Lu He hesitated for a moment, but decided to do it himself. After returning from the pastry shop with no results, he said, "I'll have someone look for it. Don't worry."

Xu Mengxiao didn't want to find a needle in a haystack. At this time, she realized how important it was to have her own manpower.

"Okay, I'll go ask Madam Zhang first. I'm afraid she might have something in store."

"Don't confront Xu Laoer head-on."

"Of course." She would not act rashly before ensuring the safety of the Wen brothers and sisters.

So on the fourth day after arriving in Fucheng, the two finally separated.

Although she felt something was wrong with Lu He, Xu Mengxiao believed that he would not do anything to harm others.

Maybe he had some clues and it was inconvenient to tell him, so Xu Mengxiao used his own method.

Zhang lives in another cheaper inn, and has been talking to Xu Laoer about the compensation for peace and separation in the past few days.

As soon as he saw her, he felt like he had found his backbone, "This damn stinky man actually wanted to get rid of me for just ten taels. I've heard a lot about him these days, and his accumulated family fortune is quite big!"

"It seems that peace talks are impossible." Xu Mengxiao pondered for a moment, "Second Aunt, I don't want to make your family uneasy, but you have also seen his attitude. It is impossible not to make a big fuss. Magistrate Duan, you I have seen him, he is a good official with great principles, so what happens next..."

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and asked her to complain to the officials. She even complained to the magistrate, but she gave up.

"Is there no other way? I can go somewhere else to cause trouble, like I did in Yipinju last time..."

"But obviously, if he just continues to make small fuss like this, he has nothing to fear. If he gets tired of it, he might do something extreme."

"So the sooner the better, give him time to deal with you, Second Aunt, I don't have that much time to keep an eye on you. If you make a mistake, your life will be in danger!"

Mrs. Zhang shuddered, and then thought about how much money Taoyuan Township had made in the past two days, and she knew that Xu Mengxiao's statement about being busy was true, which also made her jealous.

But now that she has been dealing with Xu Mengxiao and seeing her more "evil and terrifying" side, she will only become more wary of this girl. How can she dare to take advantage of her!

"Then, let me try..."

"Second Aunt, please be decisive. Don't compare yourself to my mother. The bad things Xu Lao Er has done are even worse than my scumbag father. You may be more confident if you find other deceived women. , I will also help you!" Xu Mengxiao said the next sentence and left.

When passing by the peach blossom gouache shop, she saw many young girls queuing up to buy a box of peach blossom gouache.

Xu Sanya was also among them. Because she was bound to be too anxious, she even got into an argument with a beautifully dressed woman in front of her.

Xu Mengxiao didn't pay much attention to such a young girl who was eager to get ahead and did whatever it took to get ahead, but she wouldn't despise her either.

She walked into a bookstore not far away, borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a note, and then quietly handed it to the female shopkeeper of the Peach Blossom Gouache Shop.

The woman was startled and wanted to call out to the other person, but when she raised her head, the person was gone. She hurriedly opened it and saw that it read:

Uncle Zhang, Ruyi gouache shop may try to find ways to deal with peach blossom gouache, so be careful. Xiao.

"Ruyi gouache shop?" The female shopkeeper did learn about this gouache shop in Yunxi Town from her boss.

At that time, she was still thinking that one was in town and the other was in Fucheng. She didn't even have much interaction with the guests, so she didn't know why she should care.

But as their peach blossom gouache became famous, not only other gouache shops in Fucheng were affected, but also several nearby places saw a decline in business.

Naturally, people started to appear one after another who wanted to buy their peach blossom gouache, offering a higher price than the original price, or using various coercion and inducement methods to persuade them not to open another store.

But I have never heard of a specific shop.

Because the other party was "Uncle Zhang", who obviously knew the boss and had a close relationship with him. There was also a more critical reminder on it. The female shopkeeper hurriedly found someone to send this note to Zhang Linjiang, who was doing business all over the world.

Xu Mengxiao guessed that Xu Laoer would take action against the Peach Blossom Gouache Shop, but she didn't know what he was going to do. However, Uncle Zhang was better at this kind of business competition than her, so after reminding him, he stopped caring about it.

At this time, she came to a gambling house located in a remote place.
