This time, he seemed to have forgotten to blow out the light.
Madam Feng lay down as well, but with her eyes open, she couldn't fall asleep.
Turning my head, I saw that Boss Qiao also had his eyes open.
At this moment, Qiao Xi'er, lying in bed, was looking forward to her wonderful married life. A sweet smile would appear on her lips from time to time, and it took her a long time to fall asleep.
As usual, Shi Murou went to Datong Lane to deliver breakfast to Shen Liang.
She had just delivered the food when she said, "Brother Shenliang, I have some things to take care of, so I won't be able to have breakfast with you."
"What's wrong, Rou'er?" Shen Liang found it strange because Shi Murou did nothing but eat and play all day, which even made him jealous. What important matter could she possibly have?
"Don't ask me about that. I'll tell you when I've got it done. You'll be very happy."
Last night, thinking about how her brother Shenliang was being pestered by that arranged marriage and couldn't find peace, she wished she could set off that very night.
She finally made it to dawn, and by the time she delivered breakfast, she had already changed her clothes. After delivering the breakfast, she set off.
Shen Liang was even more puzzled. He soon realized that Shi Murou was perhaps trying to secure his future.
He immediately became serious: "Rou'er, you must not do what you did last time and ask for those forged certificates. You should not go to the county or prefectural capital either. At least I need to learn something first."
"Don't worry, it's not about that. It's something you don't want me to do, so of course I won't cause you any trouble. Just wait patiently."
As Shi Murou finished speaking, she hurriedly went out.
Shen Liang looked completely bewildered.
But then she thought that Shi Murou might be going a little further away, so she wanted to find him something nice. She dressed up in her finest clothes to cheer him up.
He then buried his head in his breakfast.
Qiao Lian'er had roughly figured out when Shi Murou went to Datong Lane and when she returned to Daying Lane.
She was waiting at the exit of Datong Lane.
Sure enough, Shi Murou quickly walked out of the alley.
She changed into a bright and luxurious outfit, probably one of her best looks. Her makeup was heavier than usual, and she wore bright red lipstick, making her impossible to ignore.
Qiao Lian'er pretended not to see and was about to pass by.
Shi Murou quickly chased after her: "Wait, little girl, you've brought me snacks again."
"Yes, Miss Shi, what a coincidence that you're here."
Shi Murou didn't answer her question, but said, "You know I have important business to attend to. I'm not going home now, I'm leaving right away. I told the old housekeeper to buy the snacks when you arrive. Go quickly."
"They're gone."
Shi Murou quickened her pace and waved her hand. Five or six thugs appeared out of nowhere and followed behind her.
She got into a carriage that had been waiting there.
Qiao Lian'er didn't expect that Shi Murou was even more anxious than she thought, and she didn't need to urge her at all.
She quickly went to Daying Lane to sell the pound of mushrooms, and then hurried home.
