"What's the problem here?" Jiang Chuyue was a little confused.

Although Mo Jingchun smiled, the meaning of this smile was elusive, and Jiang Chuyue felt it was even more strange.

"What secrets does Wu Yu have? Or have you found out something?"

"This matter concerns the Eagle Eye Guard. There are some things I cannot tell you. I'd better wait until Xiao Yihao comes and tell you." After Mo Jingchun said this, he pulled off his veil and quickly disappeared from Jiang Chuyue's sight.

When Jiang Chuyue was confused, Shopkeeper Wei arrived.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sure you've been waiting for a long time. I was delayed by something just now, so I'm late. I'll drink a glass of wine as a punishment." Shopkeeper Wei drank a glass of wine very happily.

Jiang Chuyue said politely, "It's okay. I just arrived, so it's a good time for me to take a break and take a look at the scenery of the county." She pointed to the scenery outside the window.

After Manager Wei and Jiang Chuyue exchanged a few polite words, they quickly got down to business.

"I think you should have told Miss Jiang about Xiao Li's matter during the journey, so there's no need for me to say more." Shopkeeper Wei took out a note from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Jiang Chuyue.

"This is the current residence of the man I found out. He rarely goes out. If you want to see him, you can either wait for a day or two, or use some other means."

It is already very difficult for Manager Wei to help to this extent, and Jiang Chuyue would not ask for more.

"Thank you, Manager Wei. I will remember your kindness." Jiang Chuyue said seriously. Although she felt that Manager Wei's purpose was not simple, he did help Jiang Chuyue.

"No need to thank me, it's just a small matter." Shopkeeper Wei obviously didn't take it seriously, "Just think of it as compensation for the last time I schemed against Miss Jiang."

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows. Manager Wei suddenly brought up what happened at the mine last time. Jiang Chuyue realized that things might not be simple.

"Let's put it this way. You really helped me this time, and I should thank Shopkeeper Wei."

Shopkeeper Wei smiled and shook his head, and did not continue to argue with Jiang Chuyue about this matter.

"I asked you to come here this time, in addition to Xiao Li's matter, there is another thing I want to ask Miss Jiang for help."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chuyue did not agree immediately.

"The young master of the Zhou family has fallen ill. We have invited many doctors and physicians but no one can cure him. Because of the previous bear paw incident, Madam Zhou knows that your medical skills are quite good, so she plans to ask you to take a look." Shopkeeper Wei said very frankly, and there was no calculation or other emotion in his eyes.

However, Jiang Chuyue didn't think that there was nothing wrong with the Zhou family, which was so big, asking her to treat the young master of the Zhou family.

"My medical skills are just mediocre. I can cure some colds and headaches, but I can't cure any difficult and complicated diseases." This was already a tactful refusal, but Shopkeeper Wei seemed not to understand it at all and kept talking to himself.

"The Zhou family loves this young master very much. If you can save the young master, no matter what conditions you set, as long as the Zhou family can meet them and they are not too excessive, Madam Zhou will agree to them."

Jiang Chuyue sneered, "Then I want half of the Zhou family's property. Is the Zhou family willing to give it to me?"

Hearing the impatience in Jiang Chuyue's tone, Manager Wei spoke more gently, "The Zhou family is very sincere this time. Miss Jiang, why don't you go and take a look first? Whether it works or not, it doesn't matter. If it can be cured, you won't have to work so hard in the future, and your family will be able to live a more comfortable life."

However, Shopkeeper Wei also knew that Jiang Chuyue did not like to be forced, so he added, "But it's still up to you. If you want to go, just come find me."

Jiang Chuyue stared at Shopkeeper Wei for a long time, and Shopkeeper Wei felt uncomfortable. "Is there something on me?"

"No." Jiang Chuyue withdrew her gaze, "I'm just a little curious, why does Manager Wei want me to go to the Zhou family so much?"

"If you say that you have no selfish motives, that is naturally impossible." Shopkeeper Wei's attitude was very frank, but it made Jiang Chuyue feel that there was something wrong.

"As long as you can cure the young master of the Zhou family, the Zhou family is willing to give me three hundred taels of silver. Such a large sum of money would tempt anyone."

Jiang Chuyue nodded in understanding, pretending to think seriously for a while before replying, "Then I'll think about it?"

"Okay." Shopkeeper Wei didn't dare to urge Jiang Chuyue anymore. "I have said everything I need to tell you. If Miss Jiang needs any help, just ask."

"Then I would like to thank Manager Wei first." Jiang Chuyue also stood up, and after sending Manager Wei out, she touched the note with the address given by Manager Wei, and strolled all the way to the West Lane.

In order to avoid being noticed as something strange, Jiang Chuyue bought a lot of snacks. After strolling all the way to the vicinity of Xiao Li's current residence, Jiang Chuyue specifically interacted with the children nearby.

Noticing a group of kids playing in the alley, Jiang Chuyue easily lured them over with snacks.

"Sister wants to ask you something." Jiang Chuyue squatted down and looked at the children at eye level.

These children's families are not well off, and because of the high food prices in the past two years, they are already very lucky to have enough food on weekdays. They usually have no chance to have snacks at all.

It was a rare opportunity to have a snack, so naturally he told Jiang Chuyue everything he knew.

"Sister, what do you want to ask?" He replied while staring at the snacks in his hand.

Although they were greedy, they were reluctant to eat it all. A few children secretly left some for their parents to share.

"Sister wants to ask you, what kind of people live around here?" Jiang Chuyue smiled. Her appearance was gentle to begin with, which made her look even more deceptive.

Several children gathered around Jiang Chuyue and talked to her about their family situations. Then they started talking about who lived nearby.

They were children after all, so they naturally didn't understand the importance of keeping a secret or being cautious, and they just kept telling everyone everything that was going on around them.

Jiang Chuyue also easily learned from them that the home where Xiao Li lived now was also a widow's home.

However, this widow did not have a good reputation. At least the women around her disliked her very much and asked their children to stay away from the widow's son to avoid being led astray by the widow's family.

"Sister, are you very interested in the widow's family?" A child who had been silent on the side suddenly spoke up and grasped the key point.

Jiang Chuyue didn't show it on her face. She pulled the child over, smiling and quickly taking a look at the child's clothes.
