As the number of perfume formulas increased and Shen Li's pipa skills improved by leaps and bounds, the days passed quietly.

During this period, Wu Zhong took back the glass bottle from Xizhou, and Shen Li went to the pawnshop, intending to give the money to Jin Duobao, but Zhao Liang said that he couldn't collect it on his behalf because Jin Duobao had not given any instructions.

She had no choice but to write a letter and ask Zhao Liang to give it to Jin Duobao.

In the letter, she talked about money and asked Jin Duobao to continue bringing her glass bottles if he had a ship to go out to sea again.

Speaking of letter writing, we have to talk about her current handwriting. Although she did not persist in practicing the pipa, she has been practicing calligraphy. Her handwriting is now very good, in the small regular script with hairpin flowers.

Although it cannot compare with Shen Han's handwriting which he has practiced for many years, it is no longer so ugly that people can't bear to read it.

That day, Shen Li had just returned from Fengming Tower and saw housekeeper Zhang Wang waiting for her at the door.

"Miss, you are finally back?"

"What's wrong, butler? Are you waiting for me here?"

"Miss, three people came to the mansion and said they wanted to see you, so I brought them to the hall to wait." Zhang Wang said.

Shen Li was puzzled, but seeing that Zhang Wang seemed to have something else to say, "Butler, is there any problem with these three people?"

"Miss, those three people don't look like good people from their appearance, and they look fierce. I'm afraid if I bring them to the mansion, something might happen."

Shen Li really couldn't guess who it was: "It's okay, I'll go take a look."

As she entered the hall, she saw three people sitting on chairs.

The first person to speak was a very tall and strong man, who looked to be in his thirties, with a full beard and a ferocious look. To Shen Li, he looked like a bandit.

"You are Shen Xing's sister, Shen Li?" the man's voice was a little loud.

Before Shen Li could speak, the only woman among the three people said, "Jiao Daxiong, could you please keep your voice down? Don't scare the little girl."

Then the woman said to Shen Li: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, it is your third brother Shen Xing who asked us to come to you."

The woman's voice was very soft, and Shen Li could hear a hint of charm in it? In fact, when the bearded Jiao Daxiong mentioned Shen Xing, she roughly guessed what was going on.

She had mentioned to Shen Xing before that she wanted to be a guard in the courtyard. At that time he said he had suitable people, so she thought these three people should be the ones.

"Senior, I'm not afraid. What's your name?"

The woman chuckled and said, "My name is Yuan Mei. The one who just spoke to you is Jiao Daxiong, and this one."

Shen Li followed Yuan Mei's gaze and looked at the man who had been sitting there without saying a word.

"His name is Deng Ming. Shen Xing asked the three of us to come look for you."

"Yes, he said that if you can take us in, we can eat and drink for free and we don't have to do anything." Jiao Daxiong said in a rough voice.

Yuan Mei rolled her eyes at him, her face full of disdain: "Can you please not be so unpleasant to the ear?"

"I, Old Bear, always speak directly, unlike you, a slutty fox, who speaks in a sissy way that makes my teeth ache."

"You blind bear, are you looking for a fight?" Yuan Mei glared at him.

"Go ahead and hit me. Am I afraid of a woman like you?"

Shen Li felt a little headache when he saw the two people were about to fight after a disagreement: "Two seniors, let's talk it out."

Deng Ming, who had been silent the whole time, coughed and said, "Alright, this is not the underworld anymore, so put away your underworld habits."

"Three seniors, could you tell me in detail what my third brother told you?" These three people had such hot tempers that Shen Li really didn't dare to say anything more for a moment.

Yuan Mei rolled her eyes at Jiao Daxiong, then said, "Let me tell you something. The three of us had caused some trouble in the martial arts world before, and your third brother settled it later. We have to repay this favor, so he asked us to come find you."

"Yes, in fact, we can't go back to the martial arts world. In the martial arts world, the three of us are already considered dead. I see you are a little girl with thin arms and legs, and you don't know any martial arts. I don't know what Shen Xing is up to, to let a little girl like you take us in." Jiao Daxiong said.

Shen Li thought about it. The three of them had some trouble before and were dealt with by the third brother. Now people in the underworld think that the three of them are dead. That means they need to hide their identities in front of her, which means they need to quit the underworld.

Since it was the third brother who asked them to come, there will definitely be no subsequent troubles, otherwise Shen Xing would not have asked them to come, so you can rest assured about this.

But given the personalities of these three people, she really didn't know how to arrange them. If she asked them to help her with things, she didn't know if they would be beaten?

"Three seniors, did the Third Brother say anything else?"

"Oh, he also asked me to give you a letter." Yuan Mei handed the letter to Shen Li.

Shen Li quickly read the letter.

There was not much content in the letter. Just as she guessed, these three people no longer existed in the world, so they would not implicate her. Moreover, the three of them seemed to have different personalities, but they were not bad people at heart, so she could just make reasonable arrangements.

The content of this letter is really the same as if it were said nothing.

Finally, he also said that he and Ye Muyu had left Nanzhou and went to the central state capital to make a living. In her opinion, this was the only thing that was useful.

"The three seniors please stay here first, and if you need anything, you can tell me."

"Little girl, we are not the kind of people who take advantage of others. If you take us in, just ask us if you need anything in the future. I, Old Bear, will never refuse if I can do it."

Yuan Mei raised her drooping eyes and looked at Shen Li with a smile, but did not speak.

"Old Xiong is right. We can serve the girl from now on." Deng Ming said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Yuan Mei frowned but said nothing.

Shen Li noticed the expressions of the three people. Deng Ming might not be sincere in what he said. He was most likely testing them. Although they owed a favor to the third brother, they might not like to be ordered around.

As a man of the underworld, he is used to being free and doesn't want to be restricted. She can understand that.

Especially Yuan Mei, who never said a word on this matter. She must have her own plans.

If she really took it seriously and ordered them to do things in a bossy manner, those with good patience might do a few things for her and then leave. If the third brother asked about it, they would say that they had helped her and it was their return of the favor.

It is more likely that he will directly point it out and only do a few things for her to repay his third brother. In short, he will not let her be ordered around indefinitely.

"Thank you for being so polite, three seniors. You are my third brother's friends, and you are also my Shen Li's friends. You can just stay in the mansion with peace of mind. If you have anything to ask, just tell the maid. As for offering services, I dare not do that."

"Oh! You are really good at talking, girl. I will call you Shen Li from now on?" Yuan Mei said with a smile.

Shen Li looked at Yuan Mei's reaction and felt that he was right: "My family all call me Ah Li, why don't Senior Yuan call me that too?"
