Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan immediately understood what Shen Liu meant. Although Cai Yi was just a little girl, she had a special status. People in the mansion had always treated her as Shen Liu's concubine... But now Shen Liu suddenly took ruthless action to punish her, how could the people in the Shen mansion not pay attention to her? Then she and her family would be paid special attention by these people. This matter was different from the previous ones. This time, she and her family were paid attention to because of Shen Liu's special treatment.

Although Sheng Xuan is now a seventh-rank official, Xiaowen is a scholar, and their family is relatively wealthy... but these are just good enough. Their family's foundation is still too shallow... Unless their family has made up their minds to cling to Shen Liu's thighs and rely on Shen Liu for survival, otherwise, being overly concerned by those people in the Shen family is definitely not a good thing, and it is definitely not conducive to their own development.

Xiao Lan has never thought of relying on anyone. Her goal is to make herself and her family grow into towering trees... So was Shen Liu's treatment of Caiyi at the beginning out of his love for her and their family?

Xiao Lan looked at Shen Liu and asked, "What should we do now?"

"You're asking me what to do now? This is not the time for you to walk away! If you hadn't walked away, wouldn't things have been so troublesome?" Shen Liu looked at Xiao Lan and snorted coldly. After saying this, Shen Liu ignored Xiao Lan and continued to grill the fish.

Xiao Lan sat aside, trying to keep a smile on her face, but she was muttering in her heart, Shen Liu said something about her turning her face away, she really wanted to turn her face away to him now! Shen Liu treated her like that at the time, and didn't explain to her. She was not a worm in his stomach, how could she guess his intention! Moreover, she also saw him flirting with that girl, and later found out that the girl did it to her out of jealousy... All these things added together, no matter who it was, under that situation at the time, I'm afraid they would think that Shen Liu would protect his favorite. Who knows if Shen Liu was blinded by lust, valued beauty over friendship, and forgot his loyalty when he saw beauty!

Xiao Lan cast a disdainful look at the back of Shen Liu's head.

Shen Liu was busy grilling fish at the moment, and he didn't have eyes on the back of his head, otherwise he would have been furious when he saw Xiao Lan's look. Xiao Lan was plotting against Shen Liu in her mind, while Shen Liu was doing two things at once, grilling fish while thinking about things.

Shen Liu was thinking, isn't what he did enough? Isn't it obvious enough? Who can come and go freely in his study... His servants came outside the study, but he couldn't go out openly, but had to sneak out through the secret passage! After going out through the secret passage, he had to take a detour to rescue her Xiao Lan! She didn't even know the look that He Ming and that boy gave him at that time!

He also secretly hated himself. Why did he agree at that time? At that time, the little girl was obviously frightened and confused. She was clearly giving random advice at that time. Why did he listen to her?

Besides, this study is a restricted area, and anyone who enters without permission will be killed. This is not an empty promise. Although Xiao Lan was tricked into entering, she should not be let off easily! But what did he say or do? He didn't even say a word of blame to Xiao Lan, as if nothing had happened... He has done this, why doesn't Xiao Lan understand his painstaking efforts? Not only did she walk away in disdain, she even returned the comb he gave her, and said that she missed home and wanted to go back to Shenjia Village... It's obvious that she has made up her mind not to associate with him anymore!

This is simply unreasonable!

But after he got angry and smashed an inkstone, he actually...actually dealt with Caiyi according to Xiaolan's wishes. He even went to the Sheng family in person and urged Xiaolan to come back...

But how did this damn girl repay him? After coming to Qingyuan, she avoided him like a snake or scorpion! Just now, she clearly saw him from a distance, but she didn't think of coming directly, but wanted to take a detour!

He was in the pavilion at the time. Although he did not hear the little girl speak, he saw her expression and actions clearly. He was definitely not mistaken!

The aroma of grilled fish became stronger. Xiao Lan coughed and drew Shen Liu's attention back.

"What happened is over. You don't have to worry about it. I have my own arrangements." Shen Liu glanced at Xiao Lan, "Things like that will never happen again."

Xiao Lan remembered what Grandma Shen San said yesterday that Cai Yi would not live for long. She thought that Shen Liu should have made all the arrangements. Perhaps, she should re-evaluate the importance of her family in Shen Liu's heart and give Shen Liu more trust in the future.

The matter was resolved, and Xiao Lan was very happy after talking to Shen Liu again today. At this time, she was also willing to say something to coax him. After all, those who are in a high position are willing to be coaxed. As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, which makes sense. "Master Liu, your grilled fish is so delicious..." If Shen Liu was happy, he would tell her the secret recipe of grilled fish. Then she would make a fortune.

"Yeah." Shen Liu nodded. He glanced at Xiao Lan and saw a hint of cunning in her eyes. Then his mood also lightened up...

The fish was grilled. Shen Liu put it into a fish plate and placed it on the stone table.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but salivate at the sight of the grilled fish, which looked delicious.

"Eat." Shen Liu picked up the chopsticks and gave way to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan stood up. She had been in this pavilion for a long time. She had not forgotten that she had promised Third Grandma Shen that she would have dinner with her. "Sixth Master, can I take this fish? I want to eat it with Third Grandma."

Xiao Lan said she wanted to take the fish away. Shen Liu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Xiao Lan to say such a thing. He was holding chopsticks in his hand at this time, just looking at Xiao Lan without saying anything.

Xiao Lan didn't seem to notice Shen Liu's abnormality, and still looked at Shen Liu with a smile, "It's rare that the fish was grilled by Master Liu himself, I can't enjoy it alone."

This is true. How many people in the entire Great Qi Dynasty have eaten the fish he grilled himself? Shen Liu was a little helpless, but he was too embarrassed to show it. He put down his chopsticks and nodded at Xiao Lan. "Go."

Xiao Lan didn't bother to be polite with him. She thanked him and waved to the little girl to hold the tray. Then she bowed to Shen Liufu and walked out of the pavilion.
