Through the veil, Li Shiliu saw the steward of Duke Yue's mansion, who was dressed in luxurious attire and queuing here under the scorching sun.

After glancing at the crowd, Li Shiliu said nothing and walked into the door of this unsigned shop with Pearl behind her.

A clever-looking boy about fourteen or fifteen years old standing at the door obviously knew the two of them. He immediately took two steps forward and bowed with a playful smile.

"Sister Zhenzhu is here. Manager Liu is waiting for you upstairs. Please go upstairs."

When the young man mentioned Manager Liu with a smile, Zhenzhu couldn't help but blush. It turned out that Manager Liu of this store was Zhenzhu's fiancé.

After giving the clever young man a non-threatening glare, Zhenzhu lowered her head slightly and followed Li Shiliu and the others upstairs.

As soon as she left the crowd's sight, Pearl, who had been lowering her head shyly, immediately raised her head, and the rouge on her face faded away completely.

Li Shiliu and Zhenzhu didn't stay on the second floor at all, and went directly to the third floor which was not open to the public. Zhenzhu looked around as usual, and after not finding anything unusual, she reached out and pushed open the door of the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

Surprisingly, the decoration in the room was like the boudoir of a lady from a noble family.

After Li Shiliu and Zhenzhu entered the room, Zhenzhu took the veil hat handed to her by Li Shiliu and placed it on the coat rack behind the door, then skillfully made a cup of tea for Li Shiliu.

The temperature of the tea was just right, and it was obvious that someone had prepared it carefully.

"Miss, I don't understand why you want to take in Yang Nanyao, who came from unknown places, in your house?

This is too dangerous.”

Li Shiliu took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and said in a good-tempered manner: "I also know that Yang Nanyao has problems, but if I let her go even though I know she has problems, I don't know what kind of trouble she will cause. It's better to keep her under my nose.

At least she is in the light and I am in the dark."

"But, Miss, this is too dangerous. Yang Nanyao is obviously a martial artist, and her skills should not be too bad."

"It's okay. That Yang Nanyao said she was from Fengyang. Because the Yellow River burst its dike and her family was destroyed, she came to Yuanjing City with the refugees. But her accent is that of Yuanjing City.

I am very curious about her purpose, but I guess it is not me and my father, at least she doesn't want our lives.

Otherwise, she would have had several opportunities to take action yesterday.

Butler Jin saw it today. She originally wanted to add some ingredients to my breakfast, but she hesitated several times and didn't really do it.

Yang Nanyao must have other purposes in coming to my house, but it may not be because of my father or me. I feel that she should want to use my Minister of Revenue's Mansion to cover up her identity.

Interesting, I really want to know what she wants to do. "

Seeing that her young lady Li Shiliu had made up her mind, Zhenzhu immediately tactfully stopped talking, but secretly became wary of Yang Nanyao, who came from an unknown background.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There were rhythmic knocks at the door, one long and two short.

Li Shiliu glanced at the figure at the door, then nodded at Zhenzhu beside her.

Pearl, who was usually mature and prudent, looked at her playful young lady with some resentment, then took light steps and opened the door with both hands.

Behind the door stood a tall, dark-faced man with a simple and honest look on his face, wearing a manager's work clothes.
