The Ruan family's business was getting more and more prosperous, which led to some rumors in the town. At first, Ruan Xiuran didn't take it seriously, but later the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Ruan Xiuran felt that something was not right, so he decided to go find Han Xiao when he had some free time that day to ask him what he thought.
When Han Xiao was found, he was playing in the mud with the young master.
The people at the kiln factory were all newly hired by Ruan Xiuran, which prevented any leaks.
Han Xiao was in charge of all matters big and small in the kiln factory, so Han Xiao and the young master basically lived in the kiln factory during this period. The young master did not complain at all and seemed to like it here very much.
Because the young master can play with mud freely here, Han Xiao has made many strange things for the young master in the past two days, all of which the young master solemnly put into his small treasury.
Han Xiao was left in a state of confusion, what else could he do but spoil her?
Seeing Ruan Xiuran coming over, Han Xiao just gave him a look and continued to knead the clay figurine in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Han Xiao said without turning his head.
Instead, the young master used his muddy little hands to pull Ruan Xiuran's sleeves, which made Ruan Xiuran feel disgusted and he immediately dodged.
The young master snorted angrily, puffed up his hair and slept with his hands. His younger brother was no longer fun after growing up, and he actually despised him. However, he looked down at his hands and felt a little guilty. Should he go wash his hands? But he hadn't played enough.
"Something happened in the store. I think it's not simple, so I wanted to come and ask you." Ruan Xiuran didn't realize that the Ruan family has become more and more dependent on Han Xiao.
"What's the matter?" Han Xiao hadn't been out recently, so he knew nothing about what was happening in the town.
Ruan Xiuran looked around and said nothing.
Han Xiao stood up and washed his hands in the sink next to him, then said to the young master, "Okay, Ruanruan, stop playing and let's go back to eat."
"Okay." The young master looked at the unfinished clay model with some reluctance.
"Then let's come back this afternoon. I haven't finished today's work yet."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Han Xiao took the young master's hand, washed his little hands, and carefully wiped them with a soft cotton cloth before pulling him out.
After returning to their temporary room and closing the door, Han Xiao said to Ruan Xiuran, "Okay, now that there are no outsiders here, what exactly happened?"
Ruan Xiuran found a chair to sit down and looked around at the simple environment here. He really couldn't imagine that his spoiled brother would be willing to live in such a place.
But seeing that the young master was enjoying it, he didn't say much.
After calming down, Ruan Xiuran told Han Xiao about the rumors in the town.
At first it was just some scattered gossip, but later the rumors got out of control.
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Now many customers who bought Ruan family red cloth, including wedding dresses, are thinking of returning the goods.
The reason was that the red cloth was too red, and it might be dyed with blood. And it was so bright red that it might even be the blood of a young girl.
People originally treated this outrageous rumor as a joke, but unexpectedly, someone said that there were indeed missing girls in the neighboring town and even in the county town. Now the Ruan family was directly pushed to the forefront.
It even alarmed the government office, who went to inspect the Ruan family's workshop. They didn't find anything in the first place, but after taking it, they unexpectedly confirmed that the Ruan family's red cloth might really be dyed red with the girl's blood. Otherwise, why would the government officials go there to investigate?
This rumor directly led to some people returning the goods. Although the quantity was not large at the moment, Ruan Xiuran was afraid that if this continued, something would happen sooner or later, so he had no choice but to come to Han Xiao this time.
After hearing the reason for the incident, Han Xiao understood that someone must be causing trouble again, probably the Chen family. He knew that the new fabrics put on the shelves by the Ruan family would have an impact on the Chen family. Han Xiao was also very curious about how the Chen family would solve this matter.
I just didn't expect that they would use such a disgusting trick together. In ancient times, three people can make a tiger. Old friends are already ignorant and can easily be led astray by public opinion. What's more, this time the matter against the Ruan family must have been guided by the Chen family.
The Ruan family is not afraid of investigating, but Han Xiao thinks too much. The disappearance of the girl in the next town is too coincidental. It seems that he has to go back to the town to check.
"Okay, Xiu Ran, you go back first. We must strengthen patrols at the Ruan family workshop. You can raise a few dogs. Once you find a stranger wandering around, you must find someone to follow him. I think it was the Chen family who did this." Han Xiao made some simple arrangements first.
"Okay, Han Xiaoge, I will arrange it when I get back, but are you worried about the Chen family?" Ruan Xiuran asked.
"Well, apart from the Chen family and County Magistrate He, we don't seem to have any enemies with anyone else. I can't think of anyone else except them." Han Xiao has always been steady in his work and never makes enemies with anyone. The issues with the Chen family and Han Mingxiu are historical issues.
"By the way, I thought of something. Chen Jiabao from the Chen family is going to marry your second uncle, and the wedding date is set for June." Ruan Xiuran had an indescribable look on his face when he thought of this.
Han Mingxiu is Han Xiao's second uncle, but he married into the Chen family. Now when he sees Chen Jiabao in the future, he will feel that he is a generation older than him. It is really speechless that Han Mingxiu could actually do that to him.
Han Xiao was not surprised at this. With Han Mingxiu's intelligence, it was too easy for him to deceive the Chen family. After all, Han Mingyuan had fallen into his hands.
"So what? It'll just be a formality when the time comes." Han Xiao shrugged, showing no interest in the two people's affairs.
Ruan Xiuran chuckled: "When you see Chen Jiabao in the future, you have to call her Second Aunt, hahahahaha."
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiuran couldn't help laughing. He really couldn't imagine Han Xiao calling Chen Jiabao "Second Aunt".
Han Xiao's face turned pale. How could he have forgotten about this? They had only separated from Han Mingxiu and had not severed their relationship. Ruan Xiuran was right. He really wanted to call for help when he saw Chen Jiabao.
Han Xiao was thinking about this as if he had eaten a fly. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he asked, "Is Yu Pengyi still imprisoned?"
Ruan Xiuran, who was still laughing, suddenly heard Han Xiao ask Yu Pengyi. After a moment of thinking, he remembered: "Yes, why are you looking for him?"
"Hmph, as the ancients said, give someone a taste of their own medicine. I can use this man." Han Xiao's eyes were sharp. The time had come to avenge the young master.
Speaking of Yu Pengyi, after he disappeared, Chen Jiabao secretly sent people to look for him for a while, but when they couldn't find him, they didn't say anything and were scolded by the head of the Chen family.
Later, when Chen Jiabao saw that the Ruan family had no reaction at all, he thought that his trick had deceived everyone. As for Yu Pengyi, he might have run away out of fear, which saved him the trouble of dealing with him.
Later, I gradually forgot about this matter, but Han Xiao never forgot it. Since you two are getting married, I will give you a big gift.
