In the next few days, the situation around Lianyi was still calm, but she knew that there were already rough waves in an unknown place secretly.

After Shu Qingwan left the next day, the news from the investigation reached her continuously.

Sure enough, as Lian Yi guessed, Pei Yanfeng contracted a serious illness as early as half a month ago, and the severity of the illness devoured most of Pei Yanfeng's spirit within a day or two.

He managed to improve slightly behind everyone's back, but it worsened again after the problems with the tribute a few days ago.

Although he was still struggling to deal with the family business, and showed up on many occasions normally, Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan still felt something was wrong after spending more and more time at home.

In order to verify Pei Yanfeng's condition, Shu Qingwan ordered An to monitor Pei Yanfeng's condition at home for a long time.

Eyeliner feedback, I heard Pei Yanfeng suppressing his voice and coughing several times, and his body smelled more and more herbal medicine, but every time he wanted to go out, he would take a bath again and put on new clothes, so that he was not caught by other people. people found out.

Although Pei Yanfeng was already so seriously ill, it was incomprehensible that he did not tell the rest of the Pei family about his illness like Pei Yanfeng in the original web drama, but just carried it hard.

Within a few days, Lian Yi knew the reason for Pei Yanfeng's behavior from Shu Qingwan's message.

It turned out that after the defect of the tribute happened, Pei Yanyi took advantage of the time when Pei Yanfeng was misunderstood by Mr. Pei, worked many times, and finally got the right to assist the Pei family.

In order to continue to hold the power of the Pei family, Pei Yanfeng had to hide his illness first.

He now also knows that Shu Qingwan has secretly withdrawn his support for him. Once he retreats due to physical reasons, it will be far more difficult to regain the power of the family in the future.

Although Pei Yanfeng ostensibly swallowed Pei Yanyi's seizure of power, he did not stop making small moves in private.

On the one hand, he made the things in hand more and more beautiful. On the other hand, he enlisted all the forces in the Pei family to suppress Pei Yanyi, and he didn't leave behind Li Shaoheng's affairs. After many conspiracies, he finally began to forbear big move below.

That night, Lian Yi had just had dinner at home and walked a short distance back to the West Courtyard. Uncle Fu rushed into the West Courtyard and called "Young Master" several times at her back.

Lian Yi turned her head and saw Uncle Fu running after her, took a few breaths and said, "My lord, Luo Guanshi from Fushouhang in Xizhen is here."

"Come on, come on, what are you in a hurry for?" Lian Yi didn't take it seriously, and only signaled Shucheng to give Fu Bo a back, "Take a slow breath first, and speak slowly, it's not too late."

"My lord, Manager Luo said he has something urgent to see you, and he said it's a very urgent matter." Uncle Fu took a deep breath and said anxiously, "I think he's in a hurry, so let him go to the study to wait for you, my lord, hurry up." go."

Hearing Uncle Fu's urging so earnestly, he didn't even dare to delay his clothes, so he turned around and headed towards the study with the book city.

When Lian Yi first entered the study, Guanshi Luo was drinking the tea brought by the servant girl. When he saw Lian Yi bring Shu Cheng in, he poured out some of the tea in a hurry and didn't bother to wipe it. He got up and said: "Shaodong's family, you are here, something happened at Fushouhang."

Lian Yi signaled the servant girl to wipe off the water stains on Steward Luo, and then changed to a new cup of tea, while she sat in the chair opposite to Steward Luo: "What's the matter? Tell me slowly."

Steward Luo didn't sit down, but stood still: "Some time ago, the Jia family in the former Xizhen bought some cloth from our Fushouhang, saying that they were making clothes for the young lady at home. Who would have thought that young lady would get pimples all over her body when she put it on."

"After the doctor who diagnosed him looked at it, he said that there was something wrong with the clothes. Later, the clothes were worn by the maids of Jia's family, and they also had pimples. It's getting out of hand."

Lian Yi thought it was a big deal at first, but after hearing Guan Shi's words, he felt relieved: "Then have you inspected the cloth in our store? Is it the problem with our cloth?"

She didn't know how many times she had seen this kind of "unreasonable making trouble" since she pretended to be Ruan Lin.

"Why didn't you check, we checked!" Luo Guan took a step forward anxiously, "It's not the first time we have encountered this kind of thing, and we all know the solution, but this time the situation is different."

"Oh? Why is it different?" Lian Yi asked curiously, "Let's listen carefully."

Guanshi Luo said truthfully: "After the Jia family came to the door, shopkeeper Fei and I dug out the cloth that the Jia family bought and checked it out. We also invited a doctor, and it turned out that there was indeed something wrong with our cloth."

"In the first batch of Buri we tested, one out of ten horses had problems, and a few more horses were detected in succession."

"Is this batch of fabric in question from the same batch as Xijin in July?" Lian Yi frowned slightly, and his tone sank, "If it's from this batch, then there shouldn't be a problem. This batch was made by me personally. All the materials that I stare at have been tested by other stores before they are put into storage, and there have been no problems at all, and no one has reported any problems with the ones that are sold now."

"That's what I want to say." Steward Luo took a sip of the tea next to him, and continued, "Master Fei, when this batch of goods was put into storage, Shopkeeper Fei and I personally participated in the inspection, and there was no problem at all. Now, out of nowhere, there is a problem."

"Could it be that there are spies?" Lian Yi murmured, and then asked, "Then what exactly is the problem you detected?"

Guanshi Luo's face froze indiscernibly: "It should be that there is a problem with the color-fixing dye of the cloth..."

"Impossible! I personally tested that batch of materials." Lian Yi responded, and suddenly felt that the dispute was meaningless at this time, and she let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, have you filed compensation with the Jia family? What do you say?"

Guanshi Luo's face turned ugly: "I have already mentioned the matter of compensation to Jia's family, and said that I will compensate them as much as possible, but Jia's family said that they don't want compensation, they just want Fushouxing to apologize and close the door, so that everyone know that we are... profiteers..."

This matter is more difficult than imagined, and it looks like it is well prepared.

Lian Yi thought about it, and asked, "The Jia family you mentioned just now, is it the Jia family that specializes in selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"

"It's that family." After Guan Shi returned, he saw that Lian Yi only had a serious expression on his face, but he didn't say anything further, so he paused and couldn't help asking, "What should we do now? The young master's family, although the Jia family is just for sale. It's just a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but it's also a big family of merchants, if it really breaks out... the situation is not optimistic."

Lian Yi was about to ask about the incident, but Luo Guanshi took the lead to intervene: "Young master, it's not too late, why don't you... you go to Fushouhang with me tomorrow to see the situation?"

Lian Yi still has something urgent to do tomorrow, and she was still weighing which side to take care of first, when she heard Steward Luo's tone of anxiety: "Young master, look, the master is not at home now, you must take care of it for us." Idea, this matter can only be counted on you to decide."

Seeing Lian Yi looking up at him, he persuaded again: "Master Fei is still waiting at Fushouhang, why don't you come and see with me tomorrow..."

As Guanshi Luo said, Mr. Ruan had already gone out to inspect the store yesterday, and he would not be able to return until three days at the earliest. For the current plan, Lianyi really had to go and see the situation by himself.

Lian Yi agreed to Guan Shi Luo's proposal, and the two agreed to go out together after dawn tomorrow.

After understanding the ins and outs with Guanshi Luo carefully, Lianyi went to report to Mrs. Zhou that she was going out tomorrow. She and Shucheng just came out of the north courtyard, and met Uncle Fu who had arranged for Guanshi Luo and came back on the way.

After replying to the resettlement result, Uncle Fu was about to leave, but was stopped by Lian Yi: "Uncle Uncle, did father tell you that he would go through other places when he went to visit the store in Nanbing Town this time?"

For Master Ruan, Uncle Fu is equivalent to the relationship between Shudie Bookstore and Lianyi.

When they were young, they were also master and servants who talked about everything without leaving for a moment. Now that they are old, Master Ruan still has the habit of telling Uncle Fu about the family affairs before going out, even telling the truth about the itinerary.

"Master didn't say anything." Uncle Fu replied truthfully, "Master only said that he would definitely come back in five days. If he wanted to go to other places, then five days would definitely not be enough time."

"Oh." Lian Yi nodded thoughtfully, "Did you tell Steward Luo that your father was not in the mansion?"

Uncle Fu's expression showed a bit of panic: "I...I said it, can't I say this, young master, am I..."

"No, no." Lian Yi hurriedly appeased Uncle Fu, and said with a smile, "You can talk, I just ask casually, don't worry, by the way, under what circumstances did you tell him that the master is not at home things."

Uncle Fu's face finally calmed down a little, he recalled carefully and said: "He knocked on the door urgently, it was the gatekeeper A Zhou who opened the door, when I went out, he told me that he had something urgent to call you .”

"When I led him to the study, he asked me if my young master was at home? I said I was at home, but he asked me if my master was not at home, so I told him that my master had gone out."

Lian Yi and Shucheng looked at each other, and immediately showed a relaxed smile: "Oh, that's right, let me tell you, how could he know that the master is not at home."

"Okay, Uncle Fu, go get busy. I have to hurry up tomorrow, so I'll go back to the west courtyard to sleep."

Seeing Lian Yi's rather relaxed expression, Fu Bo didn't ask any questions in the end, turned around and went to another place.

Lian Yi went back to the room, undressed and lay down, recounting what happened tonight.

After a while she turned over again, simply put on some clothes and sat down at the desk in the side hall, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and was going to leave a message for Shu Qingwan that she was going out.

She and Shu Qingwan just met two days ago. According to the agreed time, it is impossible for Shu Qingwan to come to her tonight, but tomorrow morning she will go to Yuanxi Town with Manager Luo to investigate the cloth matter. It was too late to tell Shu Qingwan that she was going out.

It seems that she can only write a note and let Shucheng find a way to pass it to Shu Qingwan tomorrow morning, otherwise she will spend three or four days talking back and forth when she goes out. If Shu Qingwan finds out, she will definitely be worried.

Now in this world, there are dangers everywhere, and she can't let Shu Qingwan be frightened anymore, and then do dangerous things.

However, what kind of content should she use so that Shu Qingwan can see that she wrote it, but others can't?

Although Shu Qingwan's network is relatively reliable, she is currently the target of all the villains, and her every move may fall into the eyes of others. She has to prevent that one ten-thousandth note from falling into the hands of others. possibility.

Lianyi took the writing brush and poked his forehead with the top end.

After thinking about it for a long time, I took up a pen and wrote: Lady Yuanyuan, my husband is going out on business, if you miss me, see me as if you saw me on the pillow, stay with your husband who loves you.

Lian Yi put it aside after finishing writing, took another piece of paper, and prepared to write down the ins and outs in detail, and then put it under the pillow on the bed, waiting for Shu Qingwan to come and get it.

As long as Shu Qingwan read the contents of her first letter, she would definitely know that she hid another letter under her pillow.

As a result, she just started her second letter when she heard a slight noise outside. Before she had time to identify it carefully, the window next to her squeaked, and a figure jumped in.

This time the figure was very recognizable, and they didn't change their clothes. They only wore a dark cloak over the usual men's uniform, which showed that they came in a hurry.

Lian Yi said in a daze, "You...why are you here at this time, today is only the third day?"

Shu Qingwan took off his cloak and mask, and asked anxiously, "Did something happen tonight? Why didn't the person who came tonight leave? What did he say..."

Shu Qingwan hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly saw the first letter that Lian Yi had put aside to dry, and became even more anxious: "Lian'er, where are you going?"

"I'm going..." Lian Yi choked on Shu Qingwan's anxious tone, and it took him a long time to react: "Hey? How do you know someone has come to my house?"

Shu Qingwan didn't intend to hide it: "Pei Yanfeng has met with Li Shaoheng many times in the past few days. I was worried about you, so I made people pay attention to the situation of the Ruan Mansion."

"Today, I went out to the city for some business. On the way back, I heard a reply from a hidden line, saying that someone entered the Ruan Mansion but did not come out. I..."

"So you didn't change the clothes you were in a hurry, so you came to me like this?" Lian Yi snatched what Shu Qingwan said, put aside the things in Shu Qingwan's hand, turned around and hugged, "Fool, here It's the Ruan Mansion, what can happen to me."

"It's fine." Shu Qingwan's shoulders relaxed slightly, and he pulled the clothes on Lianyi's shoulders, "What does that person do? But what happened?"

Lian Yi gently sniffed Shu Qingwan's body from the coldness of traveling at night, pulled Shu Qingwan to the edge of the table, and poured her a cup of tea: "Something happened to Fushouxing in the original West Town, and the person who came was Fushouxing It was too late, so I let him stay."

Lian Yi told Shu Qingwan about the Fushouxing from the beginning to the end, and the two lay on the bed and pondered it together, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep in a daze.

Just after the time of Yin, the sky had just become chaotic, and Shu Qingwan woke up.

She must have looked at Lianyi who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and felt more and more reluctant. She originally wanted to lean on Lianyi and kiss him, but she was afraid that she would wake Lianyi up, so she reluctantly put Lianyi down carefully, and handled herself lightly. get up.

Lian Yi dazedly rubbed outside, feeling the emptiness around her, stretched out her hand to grope around, and after not finding Shu Qingwan, she regained consciousness a little.

She opened her eyes vaguely, and saw that Shu Qingwan had put on his cloak and was about to go outside.

"Wan Wan, are you leaving so soon?" Lian Yi hugged the quilt and rubbed her eyes, with a soft voice, "What time is it?"

Shu Qingwan turned around: "It's just two quarters past Yinshi."

"It's past three o'clock." Lian Yi blinked her eyes hard, trying to wake herself up, thinking that she might not see her again for many days, she squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, "You should slow down that night , Bixin, I love you."

Shu Qingwan was about to go to the side hall, but when she heard Lian Yi dazedly coquettishly saying that she loves her, she suddenly couldn't move.

She paused for two seconds, then resolutely turned her head and walked towards the bed.

After Lian Yi finished her parting words, she sank into sleep for a while, and was suddenly hugged by Shu Qingwan, and before she opened her eyes, she was kissed deeply by the other party.

She took a few breaths, and as soon as she opened her eyes, her heart was burned by the indelible love in Shu Qingwan's eyes.

Her ears were slightly red, and before she could make a sound, she heard Shu Qingwan reply: "Lian'er, I will always love you."
