Chapter 246 Going to the County Again

After tossing and turning for most of the day, it was almost 3 p.m. when they got home. Shen Xiangwan collapsed in the chair and didn't want to move. Wei Chengyi had to go back to the study to continue handling government affairs. Today, not only did they make a big move in the county, but there was also a lot of movement in the prefectural city and several other counties. Anyone who had anything to do with the Huang family was involved. There was no doubt that Chenzhou would usher in an unprecedented purge.

"Going out again?"

The next day, seeing that she got up early again, Wei Chengyi couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Um."

Nodding, Chen Xiang hooked his neck in front of him, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his mouth: "The printing workshop has printed a lot of books, and it's almost time to buy a shop and decorate it. In addition, I plan to cooperate with Yue Ruyan to sell various ointments, and the shop also needs to be bought and decorated in advance."

It is already mid-August, and the sorghum in the fields can be harvested by the end of next month at the latest. She should be busy for a while then. Before that, she plans to deal with the affairs of the two shops first. As for the subsequent operation, she has already told Yuan Xiu about the bookstore and asked him to find someone to help manage it. The perfume shop will be handed over to Yue Ruyan, and she will only be responsible for production in the future.

"I thought you were going to watch Shen Xiangyue being beheaded."

Putting his hands around her waist, Wei Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile. After today, Shen Xiangyue would no longer jump out from time to time to disgust them.

"What's so good about beheading?"

Instead of spending that time on this, she might as well go back to the space and take care of her little treasures.

Shen Xiangwan shook her head unhappily. What she said in court yesterday was not all nonsense. She really did not hate Shen Xiangyue. At most, she was just annoyed or disgusted. She had no interest in watching a disgusting person being beheaded.

"Well, do you need me to go with you?"

Wei Chengyi smiled slightly and decisively changed the subject. Chen Xiangyue was just a passer-by to them, and there was no need to continue talking.

"No need, Yuanyue and the others will follow us."

Shaking his head, Shen Xiangwan refused without even thinking about it. The Huang family had been operating in Chenzhou for a full twenty years. How could they be so easy to deal with? Moreover, they had to take this opportunity to support their own people to take office and take over most of the political power in Chenzhou. His busyness was unimaginable for ordinary people, so there was no need to bother him with such a small matter.

"Take a few more guards and follow them secretly."

Knowing that she would refuse, Wei Chengyi could only make the next best request. No news had come from the master yet, and they were not clear about Yin Yue Tower's attitude at the moment, so it was better to be cautious.

"Okay, you decide."

Knowing that he was doing this for her own good, Shen Xiangwan did not refuse this time. The two of them returned to the space to simply wash up before going downstairs to eat.

"Second uncle, aunt."

“Ahh…”

Seeing them, the little cubs who had finished their meal ran up and hugged Shen Xiangwan's legs. The little wolf cub also dropped the bowl of milk and walked forward to circle around her. The man and the beast cooperated tacitly, just like real brothers.

"Good boy, have you eaten yet?"

Rubbing the cub's head lovingly, Shen Xiangwan bent down and picked up the little wolf cub and held it in his arms.

"I ate it and my tummy is full!"

As if to confirm what he said, the little cub cooperated by rubbing his round belly, which made Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi both laugh. It was not until they sat down at the dinner table that the little cub took the little wolf cub away and let them eat in peace.

After dinner, Wei Chengyi arranged for someone to secretly follow Shen Xiangwan before he returned to the study with peace of mind. Shen Xiangwan took the little cub to the school. In the past few days, whenever she was free, she would personally pick up and drop off the child. The little wolf cub was the same. Every day at noon and afternoon, he would lie at the door and wait for them to come back without being disturbed by thunder. He had become a wolf spirit.

Because of Chen Xiangyue's incident, Tianxiang Tower was completely ruined this time. Huanxi Tower was undoubtedly the biggest winner. In order to prevent someone from buying the house opposite to compete with them in the future, Yue Ruyan decided to buy it first. However, the government office was still trying the case and Tianxiang Tower was still under blockade, so it would be impossible to buy it for the time being. Yue Ruyan could only ask someone to keep an eye on it so as not to miss the opportunity.

"ah?"

Knowing that Shen Xiangwan was here again, Yue Ruyan was stunned, and then quickly stood up: "Where is she?"

Didn't I tell her not to come in person anymore? Why didn't she listen?

"Mrs. Wei is at the back door. She said she made an appointment with you a few days ago to go and see the shop together."

The maid who came to report replied respectfully that they, the people who served the master, could feel that the master's mood had improved a lot since he met Madam Wei, and they also hoped that the two of them could move around more often.

"Looking at the shop?"

Yue Ruyan paused and frowned barely noticeably. If they went to see the shop together, wouldn't others know the relationship between them?

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, the maid asked in confusion.

"without."

Shaking her head, Yue Ruyan took another step forward.

In order to avoid unnecessary commotion, Shen Xiangwan did not go directly through the main door this time, but asked Yuan Yue to go around to the back door. As for why she was so ostentatious last time, wasn't it to attract Shen Xiangyue's attention? In fact, she is still very low-key.

"Why did you come in person again?"

Entering the carriage, Yue Ruyan looked at her helplessly. Couldn't she just send someone to ask her to leave? A brothel was not a good place for a decent woman.

"Just come when you want to."

With a sly smile, Chen Xiangwan changed the subject: "It's not difficult to make the ointment. I'm going to set up a workshop in the village tomorrow. Let's go buy a shop first. I've already made an appointment with Manager Sun from the dental shop and Master Li who helped us build the house."

She planned to book the two shops today, and asked Yue Ruyan to help her find someone to monitor the progress of the renovation.

"But···"

Hearing this, Yue Ruyan couldn't help but hesitate a little, and after a moment, she frowned and said, "Why don't you let me buy the shop and you don't go?"

"Why?"

Chen Xiangwan asked reflexively, and then shook his head suddenly: "Ruyan, since I am willing to make friends with you, I will not be afraid of those rumors. Life is only a few decades long, not long, not short, why bother about what others think and say?"

"I···"

Yue Ruyan opened her mouth and wanted to say that she didn't care. She was afraid that she would be implicated. But on second thought, wasn't this also a manifestation of caring about what others said?

After staring at her for a long time, Yue Ruyan let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's buy a shop together."

Since she is so frank, why should she be so shy?

"That's right!"

Seeing that she seemed to have really let go, Shen Xiangwan’s face broke into a bright smile: “Yuanyue, let Ruyan’s people drive behind us, and we will go directly to East Street.”

"good."

Outside the carriage, Yuan Yue said a few words to Yue Ruyan's people and drove the carriage out of the back door. Yue Ruyan's people looked at each other, climbed onto the carriage one after another, and followed them closely.
