Once Shen Qingyu confirmed that they had come to celebrate the housewarming ceremony, she quickly went to greet them.

"Mr. Qian! Mrs. Qian! Mr. Qi, why have you all come all this way to help build a small house in the countryside?"

Shen Qingyu smiled broadly and reached out to support Madam Qian's arm.

"Sister Qingyu, you didn't even call me!" Qian Wanliang grumbled unhappily.

“Young Master Qian, it was my fault. What would you like to eat? I’ll cook it for you myself today,” Shen Qingyu immediately promised.

"I love everything Sister Qingyu makes!" Qian Wanliang immediately smiled with satisfaction.

"You glutton! Your sister Qingyu is busy today, how could she have time to cook for you?" Madam Qian slapped Young Master Qian and scolded him.

Qian Wanliang pouted and remained silent.

Shen Qingyu glanced at Madam Qian in surprise: Madam Qian used to dote on this son, so why does she seem a little strict with him today?

Is it because she found her biological daughter that she no longer cares about her adopted son?

"Master Qi, what brings you to my humble abode today?" Shen Qingyu, supporting Madam Qian, didn't forget to greet Master Qi.

Qi Han laughed, "You silly girl, you send such good bean sprouts from Hengshui Town to the prefectural city every day, and you don't leave a single one for Hengshui Town?"

"Do you think my Qi family can't afford bean sprouts?"

"Are you still angry with me? Blaming me for not recognizing your true character back then?"

These words are straightforward, honest, and also imply an apology.

Shen Qingyu laughed in surprise: "What nonsense! I just went to the prefectural city before, and by some twist of fate, I ended up signing a contract with Guiyun Tower..."

"Don't worry, once this house is built, there will be more space to grow bean sprouts, which will naturally increase the yield in the future. As long as you don't mind, we will deliver them to your residence every day."

Upon hearing this, Master Qi burst into laughter.

"That's a deal! You have to deliver every day! Don't worry about me not having money, I can still afford bean sprouts! Oh, and braised dishes too!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

How could Shen Qingyu chat and laugh with these rich people?

They all ate Shen Qingyu's bean sprouts and braised dishes?

The servants and old women brought the gifts to Shen Qingyu: "Madam Shen, these are gifts prepared for you by our master and mistress. Please see where you would like to put them?"

Then naturally we'll put it upstairs.

They actually brought lavish gifts to congratulate Shen Qingyu on renovating a house?!

That's so prestigious!

Because important guests had arrived, a new table was set up next to the main table. Shen Qingyu sat with them, chatting and laughing, which attracted the attention of the villagers nearby.

Liu Cuixi and Xiao Taohua were both stunned!

So women can be like this?

Can one personally handle the reception of distinguished guests?

Shouldn't the men in the family be the ones to handle these kinds of situations?

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yunqi.

Xiao Yunqi remained calm and was sitting at the main table with the village head and others. He only came over to say hello before returning to his original seat.

That couple is really something!

Shen Qingyu called for the dishes, and the women, who had been waiting, brought out various dishes to the table.

With Shen Qingyu's guidance, the women were willing to use more oil and seasonings, and the cooking time was just right, so the food tasted great.

As everyone drank sorghum liquor, their voices gradually became more unrestrained.

Shen Qingyu was initially worried that the Qian family and Qi Han would not be used to the noisy and vulgar atmosphere of the countryside, but seeing that they were at ease and chatted naturally, she was relieved.

As expected of someone in big business, even if they feel uncomfortable inside, they won't show it on their face.

Little did they know that while Master Qian was chatting and laughing with Master Qi and Shen Qingyu, he subtly glanced at Xiao Yunqi several times.

Despite wearing only a cotton short-sleeved shirt, Xiao Yunqi didn't seem out of place sitting among a group of villagers; he chatted and laughed with them.

Even so, Master Qian still noticed Xiao Yunqi's difference.

His manner of eating and speaking seemed casual, yet it carried the refinement of a prominent family.

For example, I will unconsciously put down my chopsticks lightly, I won't smack my lips while eating, and I won't talk while chewing; I will swallow first and then speak.

Moreover, whenever someone at the table spoke to him, he would look at them with a focused expression, showing great respect.

This will make the other person feel very pleased...

These small details are cultivated from a very young age; ordinary families don't have time for such things, nor can they cultivate this kind of demeanor.

The more evidence he searched, the more certain Mr. Qian became that Xiao Yunqi was the legendary mysterious young master.

At the same time, Mr. Qian wondered: If he is that person, why would he be here?

And he married such a country woman?

Lost in thought, Master Qian unconsciously glanced at him a few more times, and Xiao Yunqi's gaze also turned towards him as if sensing something.

The moment their eyes met, Mr. Qian hurriedly looked away.

But then Mr. Qian realized he seemed guilty and looked over again.

Xiao Yunqi nodded and smiled at him, then raised his glass in invitation.

Mr. Qian was instantly flattered. He raised his wine glass with both hands, clinked it together in front of him, and drank it down.

Both being seasoned businessmen, Qi Han immediately noticed that something was wrong with Mr. Qian.

The wealthiest and most influential person present was Mr. Qian, who had clearly subconsciously raised his glass with both hands in response to Xiao Yunqi.

This is the subconscious respect that a subordinate shows to a superior!

In Master Qian's heart, is Xiao Yunqi so important that he needs to hold a glass with both hands?!

hiss……

Could it be that Xiao Yunqi has some extraordinary identity?

Qi Han carefully examined Xiao Yunqi.

But Xiao Yunqi turned his head to talk to the village head. Although he had handsome features and a smile on his face, his dark forehead greatly diminished his charm.

Those with facial disfigurements or large moles are ineligible to serve as officials in this dynasty.

Judging from his appearance, he couldn't possibly be a noble person!

Could they be relatives of some important person?

Qi Han lowered his head and drank, suppressing his thoughts.

After dinner, Madam Qian pulled Shen Qingyu into her room, wanting to have some private words with her.

Shen Qingyu naturally agreed. After the door was closed, Madam Qian's smile faded, and she began to recount the results of her investigation over the past few days.

The matter has been basically investigated and clarified.

It turned out that Qian Wanliang's biological parents were the ones who harmed Yu Qiao.

When Qian Wanliang was given to Madam Qian, he was still an infant in swaddling clothes. There was nothing wrong with him. He was a big, chubby boy who ate and slept well and loved to laugh. He was very cute.

Therefore, Madam Qian's sister treated the Qian family's vast fortune as her own son. The thought of sending out a lot of dowry when Yu Qiao got married made her heartbroken.

So she devised a plan to distract the old women and maids around Yu Qiao, and in the blink of an eye, her husband took Yu Qiao away.

The reason why Yu Qiao wasn't killed, but was secretly given to Granny Chen to raise, and even left behind that silver hairpin, was all to leave a way out.

If Yu Qiao still has any use in the future, they will not let her go.

But who knew that Granny Chen didn't know Yu Qiao's background? Seeing that no one came looking for her after a while, she sold the silver hairpin...
