Chapter 34 Wanting to Get Back Together with Her

Only after Shen You left Yansheng Hall with an umbrella did the master and servant turn their attention away.

Mu Geng glanced cautiously at Chu Xiao's expression and whispered, "My lord, why don't you just speak frankly with Miss Shen?"

His master clearly wants to get back together with Miss Shen, so why doesn't he just say it directly?

The windows in the room were wide open, and the dampness from outside seeped in.

Chu Xiao coughed a few times.

His injuries hadn't healed, so Mu Geng didn't dare to be careless. He quickly closed the window and instructed the servant to make ginger soup.

As she turned back, she heard Chu Xiao say, "Come over here and apply the medicine first."

Mu Geng came to his side, rolled up his trouser legs, removed the original gauze, and carefully reapplied the medicine.

Only after he had done all this did he hear Chu Xiao say, "What do you think she would do if I told her directly?"

If he could, Chu Xiao desperately wanted everyone to know that he was Shen You's ex-husband, to know that their relationship was very close, and to know that he dreamed of getting back together with her.

But not now...

He slightly lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over the inside and outside of Yansheng Hall.

If he had really told the truth, he probably wouldn't even be able to move into Yansheng Hall now.

Mu Geng suddenly realized, and Chu Xiao glanced at him, "From now on, don't let anything slip in front of her."

"Yes, my lord."

A faint smell of medicine filled the room. Chu Xiao picked up the confession from the low table, glanced at it casually, and asked as if by chance, "How's the investigation going with the Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Mu Geng shook his head. "They haven't found anything yet."

Although Shen Yao held no official position, he was still the Marquis of Chengde. Since his mansion was robbed, the Jingzhao Prefecture naturally dared not neglect the matter.

Strangely enough, several days passed and the Jingzhao Prefecture still couldn't find anything.

Because the doors and windows were not damaged, the Prefect of Jingzhao judged that it was the work of an acquaintance. However, the servant Shen Yao had already conducted a preliminary investigation and found no suspects.

The case is currently at a standstill. The only thing we can do is keep a close eye on the major pawnshops in Lin'an City and try to catch the thief when he tries to sell the jewelry at one of the pawnshops.

However, the idea of ​​the Jingzhao Prefecture ultimately failed to materialize.

On this day.

The rain that had been falling in Lin'an for several days finally stopped, and Shen You went out, intending to go to the embroidery tower to take a look.

She had gone to Yuhua Mountain before, so the affairs of the embroidery building were left to Zhao Mama and Bao Yunxiu.

The renovation of the embroidery building is now complete, and Bao Yunxiu has also found many embroiderers.

After agreeing on the wages, the embroiderers have been working hard in the embroidery workshop for the past few days, just waiting for the auspicious opening day so that they can have enough embroidery to sell.

Shen You came today to check on the finished embroidery.

The carriage finally stopped at the alley entrance, and a slender, graceful figure stepped out of the carriage.

The girl wearing a veiled hat, supported by Green Ivy, entered the back door of the embroidery workshop.

An hour later, the back door of the embroidery workshop opened again, and Shen You walked out with light steps.

Bao Yunxiu escorted her to the carriage. "Don't worry, young lady," she said, "the embroiderers are working very hard, and the quality of the embroidery you see today will definitely be the same."

Shen You nodded slightly, her voice soft and gentle, "With Yunxiu watching over things, I feel very reassured."

"From now on, you will be the manager of this Ruyi Embroidery Building, which will probably be quite tiring."

She owns many businesses, and it wouldn't be appropriate to explicitly list her as the owner of every single one.

Therefore, this Ruyi Embroidery Building is ostensibly Bao Yunxiu's.

Bao Yunxiu smiled broadly, her lips curving upwards.

“Yunxiu is not afraid of hardship. As long as there is work to do, there is hope in life.”

Being able to support oneself steadily with a skill is something many people long for.

Being busy is a good thing; being busy gives us hope.

The two smiled at each other, then held hands and talked about other things.

A moment later, Shen You stepped onto the horse stool, bent down, and entered the carriage.

The carriage rumbled along, turned out of the alley, and entered the bustling streets of the East Market.

Inside the carriage, Shen You removed her veil, revealing her elegant and refined face.

The curtains of the carriage window fluttered slightly, and a gentle breeze blew inside. She subconsciously looked up and gazed outside. When she saw the shop signs by the roadside, she suddenly remembered something and said to Green Ivy beside her, "Tell the driver that we're going to Liuli Pavilion. We can pick up the hairpin we ordered earlier."

"Yes, miss," Green Ivy replied, lifting the carriage curtain to give the driver a few instructions.

Before long, the carriage stopped in front of the Liuli Pavilion.

There weren't many people in the shop today, except for a man wearing a straw hat in front of the counter.

Those who usually come to Liuli Pavilion are either women shopping or wealthy young men trying to please their daughters. It is quite rare to see a man dressed like this.

Shen You couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The shopkeeper, standing behind the counter, glanced up and saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Chengde. He was delighted and quickly came out to greet her, "Miss Shen, this way please."

Shen You nodded slightly to him and stepped inside. However, when she glanced to the side, she saw the man standing in front of the counter suddenly stiffen.

Her gaze swept across the table, and she suddenly stopped when she saw him frantically tidying up the jewelry on the counter.

"Young man, these pieces of your jewelry..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man had already lowered his hat and turned around, and in his haste, his jewelry fell to the ground.

"Stop right there!"

Shen You's voice suddenly turned cold.

The man, who was about to pick up the jewelry, paused, then covered his face and ran away.
