Shen Qiqi's heart trembled, but an impeccable smile was placed on her face, as if the tension just now was an illusion.

She brushed off the corner of her clothes nonchalantly, her tone tinged with joking, "Oh, uncle-in-law, what you said is right. What else can my husband and I do in our own warehouse? Can we even get by?"

Lu Qing also raised his eyebrows in cooperation, with an appearance of "a man with a clear conscience has nothing to fear". The two of them turned the tables and made the uncle's wife's old face distorted in an instant.

"Hmph, who knows what you are doing secretly!" The eldest uncle's wife said sarcastically, her triangular eyes rolling around as if she wanted to see through the two of them.

The second uncle's son behind her still looked confused, as if he was just there to make up the numbers.

Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes secretly. That was enough. With this uncle's wife's acting skills, it would be a pity if she didn't become a screenwriter.

"Uncle, you worry too much. We are just sorting out some old things. If you don't believe me, you can search for yourself." As Shen Qiqi spoke, she quietly stuffed the torn page in her hand into the interlayer of her sleeve.

Lu Qing also understood what he meant, and while his uncle and his wife were not paying attention, he stuffed the account book in his hand into a hidden corner behind him.

The uncle's wife looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't put her finger on it.

Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Lu's voice suddenly rang out at the door, carrying an unquestionable majesty: "What are you all doing here? Come out quickly!"

As soon as Mrs. Lu came in, she had a stern face and her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat someone.

The eldest uncle's wife immediately added fuel to the fire, repeated what she had just said, and insisted that Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were stealing.

"This is outrageous!" Mrs. Lu was so angry that she trembled, and her hands on the crutches were shaking. "I was wondering why things kept going missing from our house lately. It turns out it was you two young couple who were causing all this trouble!"

Lu Qing frowned and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Lu in a stern voice, "Stop talking! I don't want to hear your excuses! You just don't learn your lesson!"

The grievance in Shen Qiqi's heart was even more unfair than Dou E's.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Lu roared again, "I'm not finished yet! You two, go back to your room right now and don't go out!"

Lu Qing looked at the aggrieved Shen Qiqi, his heart burning with anger, but he had to suppress it.

Just after the two were "escorted" back to the house by Old Lady Lu, Shen Qiqi's eyes darkened, and a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. She whispered to Lu Qing, "It seems that some people don't want us to live in peace. Since they want to play, then I will play with them."

She slowly walked to the bed, picked up a coat and put it on, then turned and walked out the door.

Shen Qiqi lightly opened the door and slipped out silently like a cunning cat.

She did not choose the main road, but instead took the remote paths, winding around and around, and soon disappeared in the shadow of the village.

She felt a vague gaze behind her, entwining her coldly like a poisonous snake.

Ha, as expected, someone couldn't sit still anymore. A sneer appeared on Shen Qiqi's lips. She quickened her pace, passed through the cornfields, and disappeared behind the abandoned mill.

Seeing Shen Qiqi suddenly speed up, the follower hurried to catch up, but ended up running into a pile of rocks and stumbling.

He got up in a panic and looked around, only to find that Shen Qiqi had disappeared. He could only hammer the ground in frustration and curse.

Shen Qiqi hid in the shadow of the mill, looking at the exasperated figure's back, her sneer in her heart grew even stronger.

You still want to follow her at this level?

This is really underestimating her as a "female agent" in the 21st century.

After making sure that the pursuer had not caught up, Shen Qiqi crouched down, quickly walked through a pile of weeds, and came to an abandoned house.

Most people don't come to this place. She discovered it by chance while strolling in the village.

She pushed open the creaking wooden door and a musty smell hit her in the face.

The room was pitch black, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the holes in the roof.

With this little light, Shen Qiqi saw a figure huddled in the corner.

"Are you...Aunt Li?" Shen Qiqi asked tentatively, trying to keep her voice as gentle as possible.

The figure in the corner moved, raised his head, and a face full of fear came into view.

It was indeed her. Shen Qiqi's heart was pounding like a drum. She had found the key person!

"Don't be afraid, Aunt Li, I'm the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Shen Qiqi." Shen Qiqi slowly approached, squatted down, with a sincere smile on her face, "I heard that you know something, right?"

Aunt Li looked at Shen Qiqi, her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitating about something.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded outside the house: "Qiqi! Are you in there?" It was Lu Qing!

"I'm here!" Shen Qiqi shouted towards the door, then turned around and looked at Aunt Li.

Aunt Li opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it in fear.

Shen Qiqi's heart was in her throat.

Lu Qing walked into the room and saw the scene in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shen Qiqi gently. The worry in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of trust and determination.

"This is..." Lu Qing looked at Aunt Li.

Just as Shen Qiqi was about to introduce them, she heard Aunt Li's trembling voice: "I... I know... I know what they did..."

The room suddenly became quiet, and the three of them held their breath, waiting for Aunt Li's next words.
