The woman named Su Wanwan smiled slyly. Seeing that Shen Yunsheng remained silent, she asked again, "Miss, may I ask who you are to Brother Xiao?"
Shen Yunsheng sneered. This woman is disgusting. Before, she kept calling him Young Master Xiao, and now she calls him Brother Xiao.
She really has a profound understanding of tea!
"I am Xiao Jingchuan's wife. May I ask what business you have with him, young lady?"
Shen Yunsheng stared sharply at the woman in front of her. Her intuition told her that this woman was no ordinary person. If she were a decent woman who respected her place, she wouldn't have come looking for her.
"I...didn't I say before? I'm an old friend of Brother Xiao, and I came here mainly to seek refuge with him."
Su Wanwan made up a story on the spot. In reality, she and Xiao Jingchuan had only met once. If someone hadn't offered her a high price to act in a play, she wouldn't be here.
"Young lady, do you think I would believe that? I advise you to go back quickly."
Shen Yunsheng still chose to believe her man. The woman's inconsistent use of terms of address had already revealed numerous flaws in her story.
"By the way, my husband happens to be home. I'll call him out now. If you're his friend, he'll definitely recognize you."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, Shen Yunsheng turned and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen
Xiao Jingchuan had already noticed that strangers had come to his home.
As soon as his wife entered the kitchen, he looked up and went outside.
"Wife, have we had guests?"
“You’re amazing! We did have a guest at our house, and a very beautiful one at that. She insisted that she was an old friend of yours and had come to seek refuge with you.”
Shen Yunsheng grinned wickedly. This guy certainly had the looks to attract women. Just look at his face; it was exactly what Shen Yunsheng wanted.
Xiao Jingchuan: [My wife not only praised my looks, but also said I'm the apple of her eye. Is she jealous?]
"My wife, don't misunderstand. I'm different from other men. I will never betray our marriage."
Xiao Jingchuan suspected that the woman at the door was sent by his enemy. Although his men had been safely home, his position was conspicuous, and he was being watched at all times.
"My husband, my intuition tells me that the woman is up to no good. Let's keep her calm and see what she's planning to do."
Shen Yunsheng had a premonition that the woman must have been sent by some force.
Xiao Jingchuan nodded.
They discussed it before going out together.
Main entrance
Su Wanwan was still thinking of a solution when she saw Shen Yunsheng and his wife leaving the courtyard together, so she smiled and went to greet them.
"Young lady, who are you, and why are you lying and claiming to be my friend?"
Xiao Jingchuan stopped and looked sharply at Su Wanwan.
He searched through all his memories but found no information about the other person.
Su Wanwan dared not look Xiao Jingchuan in the eye. After thinking for a moment, she immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Jingchuan.
"Young master! I'm sorry! Actually, I'm from Jinjia Town. We've only met once. The reason I came to find you is mainly to repay your life-saving grace."
"Young lady! We are complete strangers, how can we talk about the debt of saving my life?"
Xiao Jingchuan activated his Divine Eye to scan Su Wanwan, confirming with absolute certainty that she did not know martial arts and was probably not sent by his enemies.
If she guessed correctly, this woman's appearance might be related to Chu Yunfan.
Ever since that guy met his wife, he's been trying to steal her away.
He's really overestimating himself by using such despicable means to poach people.
"Madam! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you. Could you please take me in, for we're both women?"
Su Wanwan looked pitifully at Shen Yunsheng. If she was kicked out by the Xiao family, she would not receive the generous reward. They said she had to stay at the Xiao family for at least four or five days to complete the mission.
“Young lady, let’s go inside and talk. It’s not good for you to be kneeling at my door.”
Shen Yunsheng bent down to help Su Wanwan up. Since this woman wanted to stay, she would try to trick her. If she really was Chu Yunfan's woman, they would work together to make money.
Su Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had figured it out; Xiao Jingchuan was henpecked and listened to his wife in everything.
To be honest, that scumbag Chu Yunfan, who even tried to steal someone else's wife, isn't even worthy of carrying Xiao Jingchuan's shoes, let alone marrying Shen Yunsheng.
"Madam Xiao! Thank you for taking me in."
Su Wanwan followed closely behind Shen Yunsheng. In fact, she came to the Xiao family mainly to befriend Shen Yunsheng. Ever since Shen Yunsheng sent Granny Yang to prison, she has become a big celebrity in Qinghe County.
Now, everyone is saying that Shen Yunsheng is a fairy reincarnated, who is here to save women like them who are suffering.
"Miss Su! Chu Yunfan sent you to my house, how much money did he give you?"
Shen Yunsheng deliberately tested her. She could tell that this Miss Su was no ordinary woman. The fact that she dared to make a deal with Chu Yunfan showed that she had some ability.
Su Wanwan was taken aback. She put down the foot she had just lifted and froze on the spot.
"Madam Xiao, you misunderstand. I came to your house purely because I admire you."
Su Wanwan snapped out of her daze and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Admire me?" Shen Yunsheng stopped and looked at Su Wanwan curiously. This girl was full of nonsense, and her words were not credible at all.
Su Wanwan nodded, "Madam, you have become a big celebrity in our county. I came here because I really wanted to get to know you."
"Is that all?" Shen Yunsheng clearly didn't believe it.
Su Wanwan nodded repeatedly and began to praise Shen Yunsheng, "I have long heard that you are wise and brave. Not only did you send that wicked old woman to jail, but you also made your husband's family listen to you. You are simply a role model for all women."
Seeing that Shen Yunsheng was still skeptical, Su Wanwan quickly added, "If Madam doesn't believe me, she can go and inquire. Everything I said is true."
Shen Yunsheng scrutinized her, thinking that this woman was quite eloquent, but she didn't seem to be lying. Perhaps she really was there to befriend him, just as she said.
With this in mind, Shen Yunsheng decided to trust her first and see what she would do next.
Xiao Jingchuan sneered. This woman really knows how to make up stories. One minute she says she's an old friend of his, and the next she says she came to their house because she admires his wife.
“Miss Su! I really can’t understand what merits I have that you should learn from. In my opinion, you should go back.”
“Your Majesty has so many virtues, I can’t even count them all. If you don’t mind, I’d like to have a private chat with you.” Su Wanwan looked at Shen Yunsheng with a smile in her eyes.
Just then, Shen Yunsheng also wanted to have a private chat with her, so she asked her husband to continue brewing the medicine while she took Su Wanwan to the living room to talk for a while.
......
Shen Yunsheng led Su Wanwan to the living room, where the two sat facing each other.
"Speak, what is it you want?"
Shen Yunsheng got straight to the point.
Su Wanwan took a deep breath and knelt sincerely in front of Shen Yunsheng. "Madam, I actually have a favor to ask. I would like to ask you to help me with a lawsuit."
Shen Yunsheng was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Su Wanwan to come and ask her to handle a lawsuit. She wasn't a lawyer and couldn't help her.
