Chapter 52 Free Steamed Bread

"Really?" Shen Wan felt a little guilty, but still smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too tired."

Too tired?

I feel tired when I see him, but I don’t feel tired when I see Wang Qi?

Xie Mubai felt a little sour in his heart, but he didn't continue the topic.

He lowered his head slightly, and his soft black hair fell down like a waterfall, covering most of his face.

Shen Wan looked at it and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I have a gift for you." She took out the wooden hairpin and handed it to him quickly, "I'll tie your hair with this."

Since his exile, the villain's hair has been tied up with random strips of cloth.

Fortunately, he is handsome. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be ugly.

Looking at the magnolia flowers above, Xie Mubai frowned slightly.

He doesn't like flowers, especially magnolias, but since this little woman gave them to him...

Xie Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still took it with both hands.

He used a wooden hairpin to hold his long black hair in place, revealing a cold and handsome face.

Shen Wan looked at it and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

No wonder the original owner would rather bear the infamy and marry him. The lethality of this face is so strong that she can hardly control herself when looking at it.

Seeing that the clown girl's eyes were glued to him, Xie Mubai not only did not feel disgusted, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing him laughing, Shen Wan came back to her senses.

"You take a rest... I... I'll go out and pour the water." She picked up the bucket and ran out in a hurry, like a child who had made a mistake.

Looking at her flustered back, the smile on Xie Murong's face deepened a little.

Sure enough, she is still the clown girl who loves him deeply.

But Xie Mubai really hated that magnolia flower. He thought about it, and gently brushed his slender white fingers across it, and the flower disappeared without a trace...

After Shen Wan poured out the remaining water, she saw the old housekeeper talking furtively with the cook in the kitchen.

Since there is a problem with the inn, the food here is definitely not edible.

She suddenly remembered that there was a river next to the inn, so she borrowed a straw raincoat from the innkeeper and went out.

The old housekeeper's target was Aunt Zhou's daughters-in-law, and the third prince's biggest concern was Xie Mubai, so the people in the store didn't take this ugly woman seriously at all.

After a while, Shen Wan brought back a few lively fish.

"Fifth sister-in-law, you caught it?" As soon as he entered the inn, he saw Xie Murong walking towards him with a look of shock on his face, "You are so amazing!"

Shen Wan smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about this? It’s just a few fish.”

"During this flood, quite a lot of water was washed down from upstream."

When they heard there was fish, the other convicts also became excited.

They were already starving, and now there was free fish in front of them, how could they miss it?

Not caring about the heavy rain outside, the convicts rushed to the river.

Shen Wan ignored him and set up a pot on the corridor in front of the room.

Seeing that she was going to cook, Da Niuniang took the initiative to take over the fish and clean it, while Wang Qi got a pile of firewood from somewhere.

Xie Murong stood there awkwardly, unable to help for a moment.

As for cooking, it still had to be done by Shen Wan. After all, Da Niuniang's cooking skills were really not good enough.

Soon, a rich fragrance filled the humid air.

After the fish soup was ready, Shen Wan began to serve soup to everyone, with Xie Mubai having the most fish.

He was already weak, and now he had a leg injury. He had to eat something good to replenish his body.

Seeing Xie Murong, Shen Wan also gave her a bowl.

Seeing that he also had a share, Xie Murong's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Don't stand there stupidly, sit down and eat." Shen Wan smiled and urged.

The room was stuffy and dark, and except for Xie Mubai, the others sat on the corridor to eat.

While eating, he saw Sun not far away sticking to the hunter like a shadow.

She followed the hunter wherever he went.

I don't know what the hunter said, but she burst into an extremely exaggerated laugh.

"Shameless!" Xie Murong spat viciously and cursed in a low voice.

Wang Qi didn't even look at her and said coldly, "You can't say that."

"Your third brother has been dead for many years, so it's normal for your third sister-in-law to want to remarry. There's nothing shameful about it."

"Young Madam, are you right?"

Shen Wan nodded immediately without even thinking about it.

Xie Mubai's hand paused slightly when he heard this.

If they divorced, she would probably remarry.

When I thought that she might marry someone else, the fish soup in my hand no longer tasted good.

"Why don't you eat the staple food?" At this time, the old housekeeper came over with a basket and said with a smile, "I have some steamed bread here, you can have some."

As he spoke, he took out some multi-grain steamed buns.

Just as the big girl was about to take it, Shen Wan smiled and said, "Niuniu, you just recovered from your illness. Your spleen and stomach are very weak. You need to eat less."

After hearing this, the girl withdrew her hand in disappointment.

Although I was very hungry, my mother said that I had to listen to my sister.

"Thank you, Auntie, we don't need it." Shen Wan smiled and looked at the old housekeeper, "We don't have any money and can't afford it."

This is an inn, not a post station provided by the government, and everything costs money.

Hu Dahai simply could not afford such a huge expense, so the prisoner had to pay for it personally.

The old housekeeper was slightly stunned, then came to his senses: "Girl, you think too much."

"I told my eldest nephew that you are my friends, and these steamed bread are free of charge."

When Xie Murong heard that it was free, he couldn't help but become interested.

But Shen Wan didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to answer it.

"Then I'd like to thank the store owner." Shen Wan took the steamed bread and said with a smile.

Seeing her take it, the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and continued to distribute his free steamed buns.

After he walked away, Shen Wan took all the steamed bread to the inner room and did not give them to them.

Seeing her like this, no one knew what to say.

After all, a few steamed buns were nothing to her when it came to eating her fish soup.

After dinner, Xie Murong went to wash the dishes, while Da Niu's mother took Da Niu to play on the corridor.

Seeing Xie Mubai and Shen Wan talking in the room, Wang Qi walked in and asked directly, "Is there something wrong with this steamed bread?"

"This is a shady shop." Xie Mubai said coldly.

He felt it necessary to tell Wang Qi about this matter.

Wang Qillang is bold and careful, so it's always a good thing to have an extra pair of eyes to help keep an eye on things.

When Wang Qi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

He took a deep breath and asked, "Don't you need to tell the police?"

"Not yet, let's see what happens." Xie Mubai said calmly, "There's no need to tell your sister-in-law and the others, women tend to lose their temper easily."

It is true that Hu Dahai is not a bad person, but no matter what, he is a government official.

Once this matter involves the third prince, no one knows which side he will choose in the end.

Wang Qi nodded, but his eyes fell on Shen Wan, and he asked calmly: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Will you stop yourself from doing anything just because you're afraid of them?" She made them two bowls of water and said with a smile, "You guys chat while I go take care of things."

As soon as she went out, she saw Sun pulling the hunter into an empty room.

Shen Wan frowned, but still followed quietly.

"Go away, I don't like young women!" the hunter said coldly with a gloomy face.

Sun tugged at his sleeve and smiled sweetly, "I know you're attracted to my sister-in-law, but she's arrogant by nature and doesn't like you at all."

"If you help me get out of here, I can help you fulfill your wish."

The hunter seemed a little skeptical: "What can you do?"

"No matter what method, I will make sure you get what you want." Sun smiled charmingly, "You should think carefully. My sister-in-law is the daughter of a noble family."

"If you can marry her, and you have another son or daughter in the future, your family's bloodline will become nobler."

"As long as you agree, I can let you get the beauty today!"

After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but feel cold all over.

I knew that Sun was not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious that she even harmed her own sister-in-law!
