"I want your secret stash of money, Fifth Brother!" Chi Tang said happily.
Without even thinking, Brother Wu refused: "Keep dreaming!"
Seeing the way his father and older brother looked, the fifth brother made a painful decision and decided to start hiding money from his father from a young age.
Even if his wife keeps a close eye on him after the marriage, he won't end up in the same sorry state as his father!
This is a matter of lifelong happiness for him! How could he possibly spit it out?
Chi Tang seemed completely unsurprised by this, and said with a smile, "From now on, all the account books for 'Dian Jiang Chun' will be read by Fifth Brother, how about that?"
Brother Wu: "I'll check it for you one more time at most."
"ten years."
"twice."
Five years.
"Three times! No more than that!" Little Fifth Brother tried his best to control himself!
God knows how sleepy he was when he saw those ledgers!
Chi Tang nodded and clapped her hands!
"make a deal!"
Well, from now on, it'll be fine to reconcile the accounts only once a year.
That way I can use Brother Wu for free for three years!
Let's find another excuse in two years and get Brother Wu to take charge again.
I'm so clever!
"Alright, go play, I'm going to take a nap, I'm too sleepy."
Little Fifth Brother was yawning, completely losing his composure.
I'm so sleepy my head is spinning, I really can't hold on any longer.
Chi Tang nodded.
Before Chi Tang had fully woken up from her afternoon nap, she was awakened by the sound of her fifth brother and a man talking outside the house.
I opened my sleepy eyes, got up and went outside to see what was happening, and there was Shen Nanxun!
"Young Master Shen? You're back so soon? How is the Old Madam?"
Shen Nanxun's eyelashes trembled a few times, and her face was filled with grief: "My grandmother has passed away. She did not want to be buried in the ancestral cemetery, so she asked me to build a cenotaph for her in my hometown of Pinghe Town. Therefore, I will stay here to observe three years of mourning for my grandmother."
Shen Nanxun's grandmother's ancestral home was Pinghe Town?
What a coincidence!
"Young Master Shen, please accept my condolences. The deceased is gone, so please take care of yourself."
She noticed that Shen Nanxun had become increasingly thin.
She has become extremely thin, and her whole being exudes a frail and sickly appearance.
It seemed as if he might collapse and die at any moment.
"Cough cough,"
As he spoke, Shen Nanxun coughed and took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth.
Chi Tang suddenly stared at his hand, lost in thought.
That move...
How come they look so much like the hands she saw in her dream when she was at the Li family's house in Plum Blossom Village, performing a ritual?
However, Shen Nanxun's hands were much thinner and drier than the hands in the dream!
Perhaps I misjudged him.
After all, fingers that are long and slender all look pretty much the same.
They all have distinct joints and are slender.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Nanxun hid his hand in his sleeve and asked Chi Tang.
Chi Tang shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about your health, Young Master Shen."
"It's alright, you just need to rest and recuperate for a while."
Shen Nanxun looked at Chi Tang tenderly, his joy and longing barely concealed in his eyes:
"Tangtang, you are amazing. You have become the kind of person that so many people want to be."
I wish I could do whatever I wanted like that.
But some things are destined.
"Young Master Shen is too kind."
Chi Tang gave a polite reply.
Shen Nanxun's eyes darkened, and he stopped talking. After a while, he left.
Looking at Shen Nanxun's retreating figure, Xiao Hong asked curiously, "What's Shen Nanxun doing here? Could he be trying to seduce our young master?"
That was clearly just making conversation for the sake of it!
And since they've run out of things to say, they're still lingering here; it's quite obvious...
"You like me? Xiao Hong, that's enough. Stop reading so many romance novels."
Chi Tang rolled her eyes in exasperation.
She's only five years old; only someone who's sick could like her.
Even if there is liking, it can't be romantic love.
"I think Shen Nanxun has a very conflicted feeling towards the young master. Although he hides it very well, I can feel it."
Xiao Lan said in a low voice.
Everyone has their own unique talents.
What Xiao Lan is most good at is understanding people's hearts.
"Conflicting feelings?"
Chi Tang lowered her head and thought for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and said to Xiao Hong, "Xiao Hong, find someone to secretly investigate Shen Nanxun. Find out what Shen Nanxun was doing when I was in trouble recently, and also about the death of Shen Nanxun's grandmother!"
"Xiao Lan, send a message to Brother Chen Yi and tell him that something is wrong with Shen Nanxun."
Chi Tangqi has been trapped in a misconception all along.
From a young age, she has been able to clearly perceive both kindness and malice.
In addition, she has precognitive dreams if something bad happens.
Therefore, she never felt any malice from Shen Nanxun, nor did she have any premonitions of nightmares, so she always thought that Shen Nanxun was not a bad person.
At the very least, they meant her no harm.
But now that we've broken out of this vicious cycle, we'll find that there are too many mysteries surrounding Shen Nanxun.
And what other coincidences!
A poisonous snake! An injury! A finger!
After all these coincidences, what is it still just a coincidence?
The two women exchanged a glance and immediately gave orders to carry them out.
Chi Tang took a deep breath.
I hope Shen Nanxun isn't a bad person.
but……
I still need to send a message to my third brother and tell An'an.
That child had an almost blind trust and worship for Shen Nanxun!
There's no guarantee they won't be taken advantage of in the future!
So I still need to tell my third brother to keep an eye on An'an and make sure she doesn't come into contact with any strangers.
