Shen Nian wanted to interrogate the two men in black now.
Mu Lin quickly brought the two of them to Shen Nian's feet and threw them to the ground without any courtesy.
Before being captured, the two wanted to commit suicide by biting the poison in their teeth, but Mu Lin predicted it in advance, so the two failed to commit suicide.
Seeing that Chen Nian was about to interrogate the man in black, Xia Tian took Ning Xiang and the others to sit by the fire and rest.
The rain had not stopped yet and it was late at night, so they decided to rest here for the night and return to Sangluo City when the rain subsided in the morning.
The two men in black were quite stubborn at first and refused to say anything. Later, they didn't know what tricks Shen Nian used, but they couldn't stand it anymore and finally confessed.
Now that they have been recruited, there is no need to keep the two of them.
Mu Lin dragged the two of them out to deal with them.
Shen Nian's face was gloomy. He never expected that even though the Liu family was exiled, there would still be assassins coming to assassinate them.
I just learned from the two men in black that they were sent by Liu's second brother from the Lingxiu Marquis's Mansion to assassinate them.
Liu's second brother was a general guarding the border at the time. Because Lingxiu Bo and Liu's third master sent people to assassinate Shen Nian, they accidentally stabbed the emperor, resulting in his title being stripped away and Liu's second master being demoted to a commoner.
And the person sent to assassinate Shen Nian and Xia Tian this time was none other than the second master of the Liu family.
Chen Nian thought that after overthrowing Lingxiu Marquis Mansion and Liu Clan, this matter was over, but he didn't expect that their hands would extend so far.
He had come to Linzhou to be an official, and the Lingxiu Marquis's Mansion no longer existed, yet they still sent people to assassinate him.
Xia Tian hadn't heard the interrogation process just now. Seeing Shen Nian coming over with a gloomy face, he asked with concern, "Brother Shen, did you find out? Who sent you?"
Shen Nian nodded, “It’s the second brother of the Liu family, the second master of the Liu family!”
"Is he the second brother of Liu who is guarding the border?" Xia Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that's him!" Shen Nian replied with a sullen face.
This isn't a good time to discuss this topic. I'm a bit tired after such a busy summer.
She thought that Liu was exiled and that was the end of it, but she didn't expect that they would actually take revenge on them.
I feel a little tired in the summer. Does this really need to be eradicated completely before it can stop?
Xia Tian fell asleep unknowingly while leaning on Chen Nian.
It was dawn before we slept for long. Fortunately, the rain finally subsided and everyone started packing up to return to Sangluo City.
When they arrived in Sangluo City, Chen Nian first sent someone to invite a doctor to diagnose Xia Tian, fearing that she would catch a cold after being caught in the rain.
Fortunately, she was in good health and drank the spiritual spring water, so she was fine.
Xia Tian asked the doctor to check Ningxiang and the others.
These four girls, including Aunt Zhang, caught a cold and were frightened, so they were indeed feeling a little unwell.
The doctor prescribed some medicine and told Xia Tian that they should not take care of her for the time being, but to rest for a few days before coming back to take care of her.
As for the assassination, she left it to Shen Nian to handle, and she didn't bother with it anymore.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was June, and Xia Yang's shop had been renovated.
I discussed with Xia Tian the plan to open the store at the end of June.
During this period, he hired a few people, recruited some assistants, and also found the source of braised food.
"Fourth sister, the shop is ready. If we open it sooner, we can make money sooner. What do you think?"
Xia Yang briefly told Xia Tian about all the preparations he had made during this period.
Xia Tian didn't have any problem with what he heard, so he smiled and nodded, "Big brother can make the decision on this matter, and I, your sister, will just wait for you to share the money with me."
Xia Tian gets half of the profits from all of Xia Yang’s businesses.
This is what Xia Yang insisted on giving her.
Although Xia Tian accepted it calmly, he also had to fulfill his responsibilities as a shareholder.
So in addition to the braised food that Xia Yang already had, I also wrote him some delicious braised food recipes that I remembered.
Xia Yang took it and flipped through it, and immediately felt like he had found a treasure. With these, his shop would be able to attract more customers.
Everything is ready for Xia Yang's braised food shop, and he is just waiting for the day to open.
Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the Capital
The Second Madam has been very busy recently. Chen Ke is going to marry Liu Jin'er, and there is no mistress in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, so now she has to arrange everything.
If this was her own child, she would have no problem making arrangements with all her heart, but for this nephew, it's okay for her to make arrangements and even be a little tired, but some people just aren't satisfied.
"Second Aunt, how did you arrange this? You don't think that my sister-in-law's family is in decline now, so you can just fool around with them?" Shen Lan pointed at the things prepared by the Second Madam and asked dissatisfiedly.
"What are you talking about, Lan'er? These things are used in every wedding in the mansion. They are not purchased by me at the last minute. How can it be considered a scam?" The second wife asked back angrily.
During this period, she worked hard from dawn to dusk to prepare for Chen Ke's marriage, but the two siblings always found fault with her.
Sometimes it doesn't work here, sometimes it doesn't work there.
"Humph, did my eldest brother use these when he got married?" Shen Lan didn't believe it. "These things are obviously of poor quality. Second Aunt, don't think that just because you're the head of the household, you can just pass off inferior goods as good ones!"
Shen Lan looked sarcastic and kept finding fault.
The Second Madam was furious. "Lan'er, if you think I'm not doing a good job, then you can do it yourself. I really don't want to do this thankless task."
Even the Second Madam, who was such a good-tempered person, was trembling all over with anger at Shen Lan. She really wanted to quit.
What do you think she likes to be in this family?
After saying this, the second wife turned around and left. There were still three days until Chen Ke’s wedding.
Seeing that the Second Madam was driven away by her, Shen Lan became a little worried. In fact, she was just angry and just wanted to find fault.
