Li Nian was startled by the sudden voice and subconsciously looked at Xiao Yunyu.

Receiving her suspicious gaze, Xiao Yunyu said coldly, "Come out."

Xiaobai walked out from behind the screen, half-knelt and apologized guiltily: "I deserve to die for disturbing the madam."

Xiao Yunyu glanced at Li Nian, and seeing that she didn't refute Xiaobai's address, his eyes brightened: "Forget it, you get up first and tell Madam about Wang Yi's matter."

"Yes!" Xiaobai stood up and told Li Nian everything he had found out about Shen Baiying and Wang Yi.

Li Nian didn't expect that Wang Yi had such a complicated identity background, so she told her what she knew, hoping that the information she knew would be of some use to their investigation.

She frowned and said solemnly, "I heard from Aunt Shen that Wang Yi was introduced to Bai Ying by Lin Hongsang, the daughter of the Lin's Cloth Shop on North Street. The owner of the Lin's Cloth Shop has a good relationship with the Shen family, and Lin Hongsang and the Shen siblings grew up together as childhood sweethearts."

Li Nian suddenly thought of something else: "Oh, right, Lin Hongsang really likes raising mice."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately said, "Raising rats? As far as I know, people in Xiyuan Country like to eat rat meat."

Xiao Yunyu, however, thought of the white cat that Li's family kept. "Niannian, how did you know Lin Hongsang liked to keep mice? Did you keep Baibai because of her?"

Li Nian didn't expect that Xiao Yunyu could also make the connection?

She nodded: “Well, when I went to her house to buy cloth before, she scared me with a mouse, so Shen Qianye sent a cat.”

Xiao Yunyu asked anxiously, "Was Baibai given to you by that kid named Chen?"

Li Nian raised her eyes and answered truthfully, "Yes, since we came here, the Pei family and the Shen family have been helping us. They are very good."

Suddenly he realized that Xiao Yunyu's tone seemed wrong. Could it be that he also went to check on Shen Qianye?

She stared at Xiao Yunyu warily: "You are not allowed to hurt them, otherwise I, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"Why should I hurt them? It won't benefit me." A sadness flashed in Xiao Yunyu's eyes the moment he lowered his eyebrows.

Li Nian stared at him and said, "You'd better be."

Li Nian had never paid much attention to the side room in the Li residence before, but now, looking around, she realized it was quite small. The six-panel screen had been disassembled, leaving only one next to the wardrobe.

The small wardrobe with a single door made Li Nian wonder if it could hold so many clothes of Xiao Yunyu.

In the Waterside Residence of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yunyu is a man who owns an entire dressing room. Although the styles and colors of his clothes are similar, there are indeed many of them, and he also has various accessories.

Looking at the small wardrobe and the round table that was too small to hold his documents, he suggested, "Xiao Yunyu, do you want to move into the west wing?"

Xiaobai's face lit up when he heard this. "That's great!" To be honest, the master's side room is not even as big as the back room where these servants live.

He felt that although the master could not live in the master bedroom with his wife yet, he still needed a room as big as the west wing.

At least it's much better than this little hut where you can hit the wall with just a few swings of the sword.

"No need, I'm used to living here and I think it's great here." Xiao Yunyu's casual voice sounded.

Xiaobai was stunned.

Master, you've only stayed here for one night, how come you're already used to it?

What’s more, this small place is not even as big as the room where you used to use the toilet. What’s so good about it?

Would you like to reconsider it?

"Really not changing? This room seems a bit small."

When Xiaobai heard Li Nian's question, he couldn't wait to nod in agreement on behalf of his master. "We need to change!" This room is really too small, otherwise he wouldn't have had nowhere to hide just now!

There is a whole vase next to the screen, I don’t know who put it there!

This small, shabby house won't look elegant no matter how many vases you put in it.

Xiao Yunyu said firmly: "It's not small, a room of this size is just right for use."

noob:……

Would you like to reconsider? I go to the government office several times a day to exchange your documents, otherwise there is no room in the house! And your clothes are all in the wing room prepared for you by the government office! And your ornaments, and...

Xiaobai thought that Xiao Yunyu had always been very particular about food, clothing and other expenses. Now, in order to pursue his wife, not only did he lose his face, but he even changed his habits?

Seeing that he insisted on not changing, Li Nian stopped trying to persuade him: "Well, you should rest early. I'll go back first. If there is any progress on Bai Ying's matter, please tell me."

Xiao Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay, I'll take you back to your room."

"No need, it's just next door, what's there to send?" Li Nian said casually.

Xiao Yunyu hummed "hmm" in a muffled voice, followed her back as she left, and only closed the door when he saw her open the door and enter her room.

Seeing this, Xiaobai hurriedly asked, "Master, why don't you change rooms?"

Xiao Yunyu glanced at him sideways, walked over to the small table and sat down, picked up the document, and said coldly, "Are you free?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai hurriedly replied, "I'm not busy. I'll leave now." After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Xiao Yunyu was the only one left in the room, and the night was so dark that it seemed as if the whole world had been muted.

Xiao Yunyu walked to the door, opened it and stared at Li Nian's door in a daze.

Although the ear room is small, it is the place closest to my wife.

————

The next day, Xiao Yunyu went to work early in the morning as usual, and when he came back, the sun was already high in the sky.

He arranged for Xiaolu to follow Li Sisi and be responsible for protecting her safety.

He arranged for Xiaobai and Xiaohong, who were familiar to Li Nian, to guard Li's house.

Pei Yanli was still in Bei'an City and had not yet returned to Dong'an City to report on his work. Li Sisi was also unemployed at home and had nothing to do for the time being.

In the afternoon when the summer air is getting stronger, the scorching sun will feel hot on the skin for a long time. At this time, it is most comfortable to stay in the shade at the edge of the sun.

Li Nian and Li Sisi sat next to each other, with various snacks that Xiao Yunyu had people collect, as well as Li Nian's homemade fruit tea.

The two of them ate and drank while coaxing Jinhe.

The little girl is now fair and tender, with her eyes rolling around, and she is curious about everything she sees.

This was the scene Xiao Yunyu saw when he returned from the yamen.

Li Sisi caught a glimpse of him walking into the yard from the hanging flower gate and deliberately said loudly, "Oh, the firewood at home is almost burned out again. Some people don't know to chop it."

Xiao Yunyu paused, then turned around and ordered, "Xiaohong, go chop the firewood."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Li Sisi say, "He even needs help chopping wood." Then she turned to Li Nian beside her and said, "Niannian, he's not sincere."

Xiao Yunyu's face darkened.

Sure enough, Xiao Yunchen’s wife is as annoying as he is!

Li Nian smiled faintly and explained to Li Sisi: "He won't."
