Chapter 123 Re-examination
Shen Xiao and the others felt relieved and hurried forward to answer it.
Others followed and started asking questions one after another.
However, what happened in the city today made the three brothers of the Shen family feel uncomfortable. After a few words of communication, they distributed the things to each family and then returned to the Shen family's house.
The Wu family and their friends naturally noticed that something was wrong with them, but for now they decided to pack up the things they bought and let them eat later.
"Sister Qian, go call Cheng San and Cheng Yun to come for dinner." Lin shouted from the small room outside that served as a kitchen.
Shen Qingqian agreed and went to the next room.
She was also curious about what happened to them in the city today.
After calling Sheng Ze and Ling Yun, Shen Qingqian gently pulled Ling Yun's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Brother Cheng Yun, what happened to you in the city today?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ze turned around and his eyes immediately fixed on Shen Qingqian's hand holding Ling Yun's sleeve. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yun indifferently.
Ling Yun secretly shuddered, "Why are you asking so many questions, little girl? Go and eat."
After he said this, he ran into the Shen family at a rapid pace.
Oh, the master's eyes are so scary! He'd better stay away from the Sixth Miss in the future.
Shen Qingqian was a little puzzled. What was going on with Cheng Yun? Wasn't it just to ask him something? Why was he hiding it so much?
"Third Brother Cheng, you don't think that a little girl like me can't know these things, right?" After this incident, Shen Qingqian's tone when speaking to Sheng Ze became a little fierce.
Sheng Ze stared at Shen Qingqian without blinking.
At this moment, her cheeks were slightly puffed, her eyes were filled with strong dissatisfaction, and her eyebrows wanted to stand up but didn't. She looked fierce and cute at the same time.
"Cheng San, just try saying 'no'!" Shen Qingqian suddenly got angry when she saw that he didn't reply for a long time, and glared at Sheng Ze.
Sheng Ze snapped back to his senses, looked away uncomfortably, put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly and said, "No, no, what happened today was nothing serious. There was just a mistake when exchanging silver."
He explained the whole story in a few words, but Shen Qingqian became more and more silent as he listened.
She had always known that the identity of a fugitive was difficult, but she had no idea it was this difficult.
"Sixth Miss is smart. I think she knows that this matter will not happen in a few days. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the opportunity." Sheng Ze saw her frown and subconsciously wanted to smooth it out.
But he only moved his fingers and quickly put his hands behind his back.
Shen Qingqian suddenly sighed, "You're right, we have to find a way to get rid of this identity."
As long as they remain fugitives, they should never think about the word "future".
Sheng Ze opened his mouth, wanting to tell her that maybe they could get rid of it soon, but he was not qualified to say that at the moment.
After dinner, when Sheng Ze and Ling Yun left, Shen Jun vaguely told Wu and others what had happened.
The Shen family members are all smart. Although Mr. Shen did not say it explicitly, they have guessed something.
Wu sighed, "Forget it, let's just change as little as possible. Let's get through this first, and then find a solution later."
Six gold leaves and a gold plate were exchanged for a total of forty-four taels of silver. Today's purchases alone cost more than ten taels.
Even so, I still didn't buy winter clothes for my family, didn't plan new shoes for everyone, and didn't buy all the things that the family needed. I only bought food and a few scarce items.
Fortunately, the Cheng brothers caught a lot of prey in the mountains during their exile. If they save some money, they don’t have to buy meat this winter.
But since there are children at home, we have to buy some fine grains. The adults can make do with coarse grains, but coarse grains are not cheap in this drought.
"Aunt, I have some things here. I'll give them to you first." Shen Qingqian suddenly said.
