Yu Tang and Miss Xu parted hands at the gate of the courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, they saw Qing Yuan standing under the eaves of the main house with a gloomy face, talking to a boy who looked like a servant.

She thought for a moment, then walked over and heard Qing Yuan asking the boy, "So, Zhou Zhuangyuan left for the capital yesterday morning?"

The boy looked about the same age as Ah Ming, but he was thin. Hearing this, he answered "yes" respectfully and said, "Not only did Zhou Zhuangyuan go to the capital, but Mr. Shu and Brother Zhao also went to the capital. Even Brother Qi is said to be leaving in two days. The Third Elder has no one else around him, so he called Tong Er, the shopkeeper, over. If Master Gu moves in, who will serve him? Tong Er, the shopkeeper, said that he would like Sister Qingyuan to make a decision."

Qing Yuan frowned, turned around and saw Yu Tang, quickly put on a smile, bowed respectfully to Yu Tang, and said, "Miss is back! Is the scenery in the mansion still pleasing to your eyes? I'm a little busy today, and when I'm free, I'll take you around. There are many interesting places."

Yu Tang smiled and nodded.

The boy saluted her respectfully and introduced himself as "Acha", one of Pei Yan's servants.

Yu Tang guessed it as soon as he heard Ah Cha's name.

She asked Qing Yuan, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Qing Yuan smiled and said, "Miss, you don't have to worry about these. If I can't do it, there is still Tong Er, the shopkeeper. If Tong Er, the shopkeeper, can't do it, there is still San Lao Ye. You can have fun here for a few days, and then come back to Lin'an with us."

Yu Tang shouldn't be so self-indulgent as to think that this "we" also includes Pei Yan.

She asked, "Why did Zhou Zhuangyuan go to the capital? Why did Mr. Shu and the others go with him?"

Qing Yuan said: "You have to ask the Third Elder, I don't know either."

Yu Tang smiled, turned around and went back to the house.

In the afternoon, she heard that Gu Chaoyang had also moved in.

That is to say, after they left, Gu Chaoyang also followed them to Hangzhou City.

Her feelings towards Gu Chaoyang were a bit complicated. She didn't like that he was Gu Xi's brother, but she was also a bit envious of how good he was to Gu Xi.

Yu Tang asked Qing Ping: "Do you know why Master Gu came to Hangzhou City?"

Qing Ping smiled and said, "Would you like me to ask around for you, young lady?"

Yu Tang really wanted to know.

She had a vague feeling that something had happened, but many people didn't know it yet.

Yu Tang gave Qing Ping a few pieces of silver and said to her, "I'll give it to you to send someone away."

This meant that she had to ask for clarification no matter what.

Qing Ping couldn't refuse, so she went to find Qing Yuan first: "Sister, what do you think we should do about this?"

Qing Yuan sighed and said, "It would be great if Mr. Shu was here."

When Mr. Shu was around, they would ask him about anything they were undecided about, and the third elder would usually take responsibility.

Now I don’t know what to do.

Qing Yuan said, "You take it first. The Third Elder will be back in the evening. Maybe he will tell Miss Yu without you asking. You can use this money to buy some snacks and fruits that Miss Yu likes and give them to her."

That's all we can do.

Qingping finally waited until dusk, and Pei Yan came back.

After he came back, he went to the study first and talked with Pei Qi for a long time, and then Pei Qi left Hangzhou. Then Tong Er, the shopkeeper, transferred several strong and powerful assistants from the shop, and Pei Yan left them to the fourth steward who rushed over from Lin'an City, and went to Yu Tang without having dinner.

Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San were not sure what they were doing. After Miss Xu went back home, she did not come out again. She was embarrassed to disturb them. She originally wanted to read a few books first, then see what Miss Xu was doing, go over to visit her, and discuss the next itinerary. Who knew that she leaned on the big pillow and fell asleep without knowing when. When she woke up, the sun had already set.

She seldom slept so deeply. Especially after her rebirth, she had many things in her mind. Sometimes she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. After she knew that the person who killed her in her previous life was Peng Shiyi, she couldn't fall asleep even more. When she closed her eyes, she would always think about the things that happened in her previous life unconsciously, pondering every detail and every picture, hoping to figure out something useful for this life, mainly for Pei Yan and the Pei family.

So when she saw the sunset glow coming in through the window, she was startled and kept calling out "Shuangtao".

It was Qingping who came in. She smiled and asked Yutang, "Sister Shuangtao is on duty tonight. Do you want me to call her over now?"

"No need!" Yu Tang saw that it was broad daylight, the people serving him were still from the Pei family, and he was still in this life, so he relaxed and said with a smile, "Did Miss Xu come to see me?"

"No!" Qingping answered. Just as she was about to help Yutang change clothes, Pei Yan arrived.

Everyone was shocked, Yu Tang even cried out in amazement: "What is the Third Elder doing here? When did he return home?"

Qingping couldn't answer.

Pei Yan has already sat down in the hall.

Yu Tang couldn't stay in the inner room any longer, so she quickly dressed up and went to the living room.

Pei Yan's expression was not very good. When he saw Yu Tang, he didn't wait for her to greet him. He pointed to the armchair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Yu Tang bent his knees and replied "yes", then sat down. Qing Ping and Qing Lian served them tea and snacks.

Pei Yan said, "You should stay with me for the time being. Peng Shiyi also went down the mountain after I came to Hangzhou. I don't know where he went yet. I will send you back to the Yu family after I find Peng Shiyi."

Yu Tang was confused for a moment, then she realized that Pei Yan meant that she was in danger. Pei Yan asked her to stay by his side until the danger was resolved.

In other words, Pei Yan believed that her "dream" was real!

It must be that some of what she told Pei Yan was confirmed.

But what has been proven?

Yu Tang couldn't figure it out. But she felt that this matter must be related to Zhou Zhuangyuan and Mr. Shu's trip to the capital.

But how could she explain to her family that she had to stay with him all this time?

She asked cautiously, "When can I go back?"

Pei Yan was very satisfied to see that she knew his intention very quickly, and said, "I will find Peng Shiyi as soon as possible." At this point, he thought of Peng Yu's matter, and thought that this matter was also closely related to the little girl. Some things should be kept secret from her, while hiding some things from her would make her relax her vigilance and cause accidents.

He said, "We don't know yet. My mentor's eldest son, Zhang Shao, who was the governor of Jiangxi, suddenly fell and drowned. We don't know if this has anything to do with the Peng family, but Zhou Zhuangyuan has already rushed to the capital. We don't know what's going on with Li Duan, and I'm afraid the Peng family will resort to some despicable means for their own benefit. It's better to be careful."

Miss Yu is a girl, and the slightest mistake could lead to her being doomed.

Pei Yan just thought about it and didn't want to think about it any further.

The little man in Yu Tang's heart couldn't help but jump.

Pei Yan believed her words.

The Pei family can now walk more easily, right?

The Peng family shouldn’t think it will be so easy to become the number one family in Fujian.

A smile flashed in Yu Tang's eyes. He stood up to thank Pei Yan and asked about the situation of the Zhang family: "Aren't you going to the capital? Will the Zhang family have a grudge against you? It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but it's hard to help in times of trouble."

Pei Yan's mouth twitched.

This little girl even gave him some advice.

He has eaten more salt than she has eaten rice. Isn't this just worrying for nothing?

Pei Yan didn't take it seriously, but he said what he thought before he could react: "Master knows about me, and I also gave Zhou Zhuangyuan 50,000 taels of silver to take to the capital."

That's good!

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Pei Yan felt depressed.

Did he need to tell her this?

Should it be necessary?

Miss Yu is a lively and active person. If she has any doubts, she will definitely try her best to find out. Instead of letting her sneak around without knowing it, it is better to tell her everything so that she knows what can and cannot be done, and stays in the house honestly and doesn't cause trouble for him.

He should have told the little girl.

Pei Yan said in his heart, and became more determined to be honest with Yu Tang.

He simply said, "I also called Gu Chaoyang to Hangzhou City. Originally, I wanted him to do his own thing and I would do mine. But he insisted on moving in. I thought it would be a good idea to let him move in so that we can solve the problems in Jiangnan as soon as possible, so that I can focus on solving the problems in the capital. Senior Brother Zhang is the eldest son. He died suddenly when he was in his prime. Everyone was caught off guard. Many things need to be rearranged. Both the Zhang family and those officials will be in chaos for a while. Things over there are more important than things here."

Pei Yan said this and glanced at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang stared at him intently with a pair of large eyes that reflected his figure. Her expression seemed a little silly, making him a little unsure whether she understood what he was saying.

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I understand." Yu Tang said hurriedly, "You mean that the capital is in chaos, and the Peng family will take this opportunity to do something to make the seventh master of the Peng family be the governor of Jiangxi, so that the land and estates your family bought in Jiangxi will be managed by the Peng family. You gave 50,000 taels of silver to Zhou Zhuangyuan and asked him to take care of it and mess up the Peng family's affairs. Is that right?"

She asked the last sentence a little nervously, as if she was afraid that she had said something wrong.

Pei Yan was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Yu Tang really knew what he was doing.

This little girl is really smart.

He thought he should encourage the little girl.

"Not bad!" Pei Yan said, "Your mind works pretty fast."

Yu Tang sighed secretly.

It's just like being checked by the teacher when I was in school.

At least I passed.

My heartstrings are a little tight, and I feel a little tired.

She asked Pei Yan: "Have you had dinner? It's getting late, do you want to have dinner here?"

In her opinion, since Gu Chang has come, Pei Yan will definitely give him a welcome and will definitely not have dinner at her place. Moreover, there are differences between men and women, and the two of them have said everything they need to say. Pei Yan will definitely leave tactfully after hearing the words.

What was unexpected was that Pei Yan actually thought about it, said "hmm", and took over the responsibility to instruct Qing Yuan: "It's getting late, let's set the table! I have to go see Gu Chaoyang later. Wei Sanfu went to Lin'an, and I think he will be here two days later. I don't know how he got rid of Wei Sanfu."

I hope his second brother can take on Wei Sanfu's trick.
