Chapter 283 He's praising you~

"Yes, I understand!"

The Chen family members answered in a flurry.

If the ringleaders dare not speak anymore, how can others dare to have any objections?

The group quickly retreated.

After sending them away, the heads of the Bai and Lie families exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

This little dumpling in front of me is more than just talented.

Such spirit at such a young age, truly a force to be reckoned with!

Yun Zhao wasn't lying; she had indeed made arrangements.

Her family was all in Linjia Village, so she didn't dare leave for too long.

But if Fengyun City can be taken care of, it will be their family's way out.

If one can live a peaceful life, that would certainly be the best.

If the emperor truly intended to exterminate them all.

At worst, they can fake their death, change their names, and come to Fengyun City to live.

The little dumpling's idea was very good, and the Bai and Lie families also had their own ideas.

After agreeing that Bai Jiu and Lie Xuanyi would depart for Guanzhou, Yun Zhao decided to leave Xiong Ba and Xiao Ying in Fengyun City.

If anything happens in Fengyun City, Lao Ji will immediately have Xiao Ying deliver a message to her.

In the afternoon, Yun Zhao pretended to find an ice chest in the warehouse, intending to have the ice transported to Linjia Village.

She was engrossed in rummaging through the warehouse when there was a knock at the door.

"What's wrong?"

She clutched the silver beneath her and asked nervously.

"Young master, two leopards have come outside!"

leopard?

Yun Zhao quickly got up and patted the scarred man beside him.

"Scarface, let's go check on her!"

Could it be that her guess has come true?

Yun Zhao has short legs, so no matter how she tries, she can't get very fast.

Scarface then hoisted her up, and once she was seated, sped off.

Upon arriving outside Hujiabao, we saw two leopards huddled together.

Meanwhile, the Li family members, holding spears, were staring at the leopard with the expressions of sheriffs.

"Little Flower?"

Yun Zhao asked tentatively.

The leopard suddenly looked up, and Little Bean's eyes were filled with surprise.

It nudged the leopard beside it with its head, pushing it towards Yun Zhao.

"This is...your wife?"

Yun Zhao was somewhat surprised.

What's this?

"Yes, I have settled the tribe and brought my wife to seek refuge with you!"

Xiaohua often listened to those people talk and learned some profound vocabulary.

"Would you be unwilling to take us in?"

"The mother leopard asked worriedly."

"Of course not! I'm glad you're willing to come back to me!"

Yun Zhao stroked the heads of the two leopards and decided to give Xiao Hua's wife a name as well.

The male leopard has already been named Xiaohua, so what should the female leopard be named?

"How about you call yourself Xiao Shui? You're from Fengyun City, so you have both wind and cloud in your name, but you're missing water!"

Okay~

The mother leopard, Xiao Shui, nudged Yun Zhao with her head, seemingly unconcerned about what name she chose.

Anyway, they're just things she uses to distinguish them.

At night, Yun Zhao was surrounded by two leopards while he slept, making it even hotter.

She thought for a moment, then took out an ice chest from her spatial storage and put some ice inside.

"Hmm! That's much cooler!"

She lay back down and slept comfortably.

As dawn broke, the leopard curled up beside Yun Zhao suddenly woke up.

"Waaah!"

It emitted a warning sound, which startled Yun Zhao awake. He quickly put the ice mirror back into his spatial storage.

Is anyone there?

She got up and stroked the animals whose fur had stood on end.

The people on the roof heard noises inside and immediately realized they had been discovered.

He jumped down and stood outside the door, gently knocking.

"Zhaozhao, is she awake?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Zhao realized it was Wei Jingchen.

"Brother Jingchen?"

She asked.

"It's me. May I come in?"

Yun Zhao looked down at himself, then grabbed a coat from the side and put it on.

"It's convenient."

After hearing her answer, Wei Jingchen pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as he stepped inside, more than a dozen red lights stared intently at him.

"How come there are two more leopards in this house?"

He remembered that the leopards had all left.

"This is Xiaohua, and this is Xiaohua's wife, Xiaoshui. They'll come back to me after they've settled their flock."

After Yun Zhao finished explaining things to him, she asked, "What is Brother Jing Chen doing on my roof?"

Wei Jingchen paused, then touched his nose.

"I had promised to come and pick you up and take you back to Linjia Village, but I was delayed for a while."

I got back late, and knowing you were still asleep, I couldn't sleep either.

I planned to wait for you outside, but unexpectedly, they spotted me first.

Wei Jingchen raised his hand to touch the leopard's head.

He couldn't tell the two leopards apart, but Xiaohua recognized him.

Seeing that he meant no harm, she stuck her head out herself.

A smile spread across Wei Jingchen's face.

"You guys still managed to discover my amazing lightness skills. It seems you'll have to keep watching over her from now on."

Xiaohua nodded in satisfaction.

"You're a good person too."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao smiled and patted its head.

"Little Flower is praising you~"

Wei Jingchen was somewhat surprised.

"Well... thank you for the compliment?"

This was the first time he had ever been praised by a leopard.

"Brother Jingchen, you were delayed in returning. Did you encounter some trouble?"

Yun Zhao asked.

"There's no trouble, but news has come from the capital that the Grand Tutor has returned."

News has come from the palace that a group of officials will be transferred to the position of censors.

With a dedicated official in charge of maritime affairs, the imperial court may indeed be planning to open up maritime trade.

He had kept all the gold jewelry he originally intended to use to open a new shop, planning to use it all for maritime trade once the news of its reopening was confirmed.

Really?

Yun Zhao feigned surprise, then, as if suddenly remembering something, got out of bed.

"Brother Jingchen! I've got something good to show you~"

She reached out her hand, and Wei Jingchen instinctively picked her up.

Where to?

"Let me take you to see the baby!"

Wei Jingchen was somewhat amused and exasperated, but he still let her play around.

The sky was not yet fully bright, and everything was shrouded in a gray haze.

Wei Jingchen led her through the rooftops of Hujiabao, eventually bringing her to the warehouse.

The gatekeeper was startled awake and looked closely.

A boy is holding his family's little boss.

"Young Master, what's this?"

Sleepwalking?

"Open the door, I'll bring my brother to see you!"

elder brother?

So it was someone from Xiao Dong's family who came to visit?

"please."

The people from the Li family gambling den unlocked the door and let them in.

The Hu family's storeroom was filled with chests and boxes, as well as many precious calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain pieces.

"Look, do you like these calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain pieces?"

Yun Zhao looked at him with a sly grin.

In my previous life, after maritime trade was opened up, these were the things that foreigners liked the most.

Even many items that she considered ordinary became very popular after being shipped to foreign countries!

Wei Jingchen had met foreigners in the capital, and calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain were indeed what foreigners liked most.

Previously, these were monopolized by imperial merchants.

"How come there are so many calligraphy, paintings and porcelain in Hujiabao?"

Wei Jingchen was filled with doubts.

Hu Yiyang looks like a rough man, not someone who would cherish such things.

Of course, these are all from the Marquis of Dingyuan's warehouse!

Aren't these the kinds of playboys in the capital?

Yun Zhao had already prepared his explanation.

"I discovered an ice cellar in Hujiabao, which contained countless amounts of ice."

Where did they get so much money? Maybe the Yuan family found out about it.

They're taking advantage of the situation to send goods to Lingnan, planning to make a fortune!

Wei Jingchen felt that what she said made perfect sense.

"The Yuan family might indeed know that news has come from the capital."

Just as things were starting to look promising regarding maritime trade, both the King of Yue and the Qi family made their moves.

With these two companies backing them, they've probably already made thorough preparations!

The Yuan family was unfairly blamed.
