Chapter 102 I can’t think anymore

"Come on, take the reward from Hongo-kun. Everyone gets a share."

In the courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Ning took the big red envelope and distributed it to everyone one by one. She gave it to Zhao Cheng from Lian'er's family first. Zhao Cheng now had four teeth. He grinned and showed a few of his teeth, looking very cute.

Then came Shen Shiyi and Shen Twelve, the youngest besides Zhao Cheng. Eryue and Yuanyue were at the end. Shen Ning walked up to Eryue and handed her the red envelope. Eryue lowered her head and took it with both hands, saying in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss."

Shen Ning raised her hand and pinched his cheek fiercely, pulling it deliberately.

The boy with his head down had red eyes and almost cried.

The young lady and Brother Yuanyue trusted him and asked him to protect them, but he let the young lady fall into danger. However, after returning, the young lady did not blame him at all and asked Brother Yuanyue to coax him.

"Hey, waiter, stop yelling."

Qiyue said with a smile, "From now on, you have to call me Xiangjun instead of Miss, right?"

Er Yue gritted her teeth: "Who are you calling Xiao Er?"

Qiyue immediately complained: "My dear, look at him, he's really fierce..."

February:……

Su Lianyi joked beside him: "That's true. From now on, I have to call you Xiangjun."

Shen Ning coughed lightly and waved her hand quickly: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. We must keep a low profile."

Su Lianyi covered her lips and smiled secretly, then deliberately bowed: "Su greets Chen Xiangjun."

Shen Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing...

He rolled his eyes and moved forward, trying hard to hint: There's me too.

When Chen Ning took out another red envelope and gave it to him, Xiao Baiyan said aggrievedly: "Shopkeeper Chen is deliberately teasing me."

Su Lianyi tapped his forehead: "Scream again."

Little White Eyes chuckled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang for the reward."

Mu Yao stood behind the pillar in the corridor and looked at this side from afar, his eyes glued to Chen Ning, watching her smile and watching everyone around her smile.

It seems like anyone who gets closer to her will become happier.

Shen Ning looked around: "Hey, where's Mu Yao?"

July stretched out her hand: "There it is."

Shen Ning turned around and saw her, waved and smiled: "Why don't you come over, there is still your red seal, don't you want it?"

Mu Yao came over a little embarrassedly and took it with both hands: "Thank you, Xiangjun."

Shen Ning pulled her arm and turned around: "How is the injury? Does it still hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good."

Shen Ning remembered something: "The small courtyard next to Sister Lian'er's house has been cleaned up. You can move there in the next two days and have a good rest."

Mu Yao moved his lips, wanting to say that he didn't want to move out and just wanted to live next to her, but he held back.

She has been living in Shen Qingbai's room these days, which is not appropriate. More importantly, there are too many masters in this courtyard, and it is not convenient for her to stay there.

If not for this, she would definitely not be willing to move out. It would be even better if she could switch with that little girl and live in the outer room of Chen Ning's main house.

This way, I can be closer to her...

Mu Yao felt a little reluctant to leave, even though the yard was not far away. She whispered softly, "Thank you, Ningning."

Ningning, it sounds so nice.

July looked at Mu Yao warily, then squeezed in between her and Shen Ning.

I always feel that this coquettish bitch wants to take her place beside the lady...

After the group dispersed, Su Lianyi walked to Shen Ning and asked in a low voice: "Ningning, do you know what's going on with County Magistrate Cao?"

In these years of doing business, Su Lianyi had often used County Magistrate Cao's connections and given him many valuable things. But two days ago, County Magistrate Cao, the father of Pingning, was actually imprisoned.

They said that a new county magistrate would take office, and that County Magistrate Cao was corrupt and would be investigated and punished.

In fact, in Su Lianyi's opinion, County Magistrate Cao is already a good official. Although he always tries to protect himself when encountering problems and has not made any great achievements for the people, he also has one advantage, at least he does not exploit the people.

Even if he was greedy for money, he would only do so within a certain limit, and he would only take the money of the rich and never exploit the poor.

To be realistic, such an official is already considered good in the officialdom of Daxuan.

If a new magistrate comes, we don’t know his character yet, and it will inevitably take a lot of effort to smooth things over.

Shen Ning shook her head: "I don't know either."

Su Lianyi sighed: "When the new magistrate comes, it will cost a lot of money again."

Shen Ning suddenly smiled: "Sister Su, have you forgotten something?"

Su Lianyi looked up in surprise: "What?"

Shen Ning deliberately put on a stern face and coughed lightly: "With Hongxiang Jun here, I can't say how much face we can get in front of the county magistrate, but at least no one will take the initiative to target and bully us, are you thinking too much?"

Su Lianyi slapped her head and cried because of her own stupidity.

After calling her "County Lady" for a long time, they didn't even realize that with the identity of "County Lady", no one would dare to bully them, not only in Pingning, but also in the whole Xinzhou, as long as they did business honestly.

Su Lianyi laughed uncontrollably: "I must be stupid."

At this moment, Yuan Yue suddenly turned back and said, "Master, Mr. Xu's men are here."

Chen Ning patted Su Lianyi: "Go to the store today and take a look. Make sure Miss Mu Yao is properly settled. Tell the girls in the store not to bully her."

Su Lianyi nodded: "Don't worry."

Shen Ning hummed, went into the house to get things to go to Xu's house.

Arriving at the Xu family, Shen Ning was a little worried. After all, they had indeed parted on bad terms last time. With Xu Zhiyi's status, he must have been insulted very often, and there was no guarantee that he would not hold a grudge.

But she felt relieved when she saw the person.

Xu Zhiyi still looks the same.

"Why, are you afraid that I will hate you?" Xu Zhiyi put down the book and raised his eyelids to look at her.

Shen Ning quickly said, "Third Master, you are open-minded and broad-minded. How could you care so much about a mere common woman like me?"

"You're right, but you're just a shrew who doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness. I don't have the energy to dwell on your trivial matters. Just do what you need to do."

"Okay."

Shen Ning came forward with the medicine box.

As usual, she first took the patient's pulse and then gave him acupuncture. The wound on Xu Zhiyi's back was caused by a sharp stone. The wound was quite large and had not yet healed. Shen Ning applied some medicine to him and gently re-bandaged it.

Feeling the hand on his back, Xu Zhiyi lowered his eyelashes, frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

He suddenly said, "Do you know who kidnapped you and me last time?"

Shen Ning raised her eyes: "Please give me your instructions, Third Master."

"Cao Manlou."

This time Shen Ning was really shocked: "County Magistrate Cao? Why would he do this?"

Xu Zhiyi's second sentence surprised Shen Ning even more: "Cao Manlou is from the Tianxin Sect."

Tianxin Sect, an anti-religion founded by the people to kill corrupt officials and oppose the imperial court, has become a major threat to the imperial court in recent years. It is rumored that most of the members of the sect are desperate criminals.

And Cao Manlou, the imperial official who was always cautious and self-protective and greedy for money, was actually a member of the Tianxin Sect!

"Why did he kidnap the Third Master?" Shen Ning asked.

Xu Zhiyi glanced at her and asked her, "Do you want to go with me?"

"I don't……"

Before she could finish her refusal, she saw Xu Zhiyi's dangerous eyes and could only say helplessly, "I can't think about it anymore."

"What nonsense! If you want to go, just say you want to go."

Xu Zhiyi bounced directly onto her head, and seeing Shen Ning covering her forehead with her hands, angry but not daring to speak, he finally revealed a good mood...
