Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down.
However, they were not awake yet, so it was not good to let them leave. Xiang Weinan told them to stay here and leave when they were better.
Daniu followed the doctor to get some medicine and returned to Liufang Alley to bring the mule carriage over. It would be more convenient for him to go back later.
Yuan Shanchuan woke up halfway before he came back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at his wife’s reddened eyes, he felt even more guilty. “Did I scare you?
I’m fine. I just didn’t rest well.”
Lu Sixing nodded. “Okay, then rest well for the next few days. We can’t live without you.”
Shu Yu stood in the guest room and saw the couple talking in a low voice. Knowing that they had been separated for many days, there must be a lot of things to talk about, so she did not disturb them here and simply left the room.
Xiang Weinan was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard not far from the guest room. He was in a good mood, drinking tea and eating snacks, probably because he had been busy for many days. He had evidence in his hand. Seeing Shu Yu come out, he waved at her. “Lady Lu?”
Shu Yu walked over and smiled. “Lord Xiang seems to be in a good mood.”
“Not bad.” He pushed the plate of pastries in front of him over. “Do you want to try it?”
“No need, I’ve already eaten.”
Xiang Weinan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half- smile. “You ate at the black market?”
Shu Yu was speechless. She had thought that he had been so focused on the painting that he had forgotten about it.
“I didn’t expect you to sneak into the black market. What, is there something you want to auction? You have money?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No money.” Shu Yu sat down opposite him. “I just happened to get the token to enter the black market. I’m curious and want to see it.’
Xiang Weinan did not believe her. “Really?”
“Of course it’s true.” Shu Yu’s expression did not change. “I heard that the black market is not a secret in the circle of rich and powerful people. They will even receive invitations from the black market if they are familiar with it. I don’t have money now, but I’ve opened a shop and come into contact with the ladies of rich families. In the future, my money might not be less than theirs. Isn’t it normal to go to the black market to see the world?”
Xiang Weinan thought about it and agreed, but when she shamelessly said that she had more money than those rich people in Jiangyuan County, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
Just that small run-down shop of hers? In his opinion, it would take a long time for her to develop the ability to enter the black market and participate in auctions.
Xiang Weinan clicked his tongue and poured her a cup of tea. “Then what did you see?”
“I didn’t see anything. I met my fourth uncle not long after I entered the black market. The next thing I had to think about was how to bring him out under the guise of the world, how to get the painting in the black market with just a few people, and how to escape unscathed. All my thoughts were on this matter. How could I have the spare energy to see the world?”
Xiang Weinan laughed dryly. “Then it seems that you’ve been working hard.” She couldn’t be asking for a reward from her, right?
Sure enough, the next moment, Shu Yu said, “There’s something I almost forgot to tell Lord Xiang. At that time, to hide my fourth uncle’s whereabouts and to make it convenient for us to observe the buyer’s movements, we specially opened a private room on the third floor as a camping spot. Sir, you don’t know that the black market is shady. Even if you don’t buy anything from this private room upstairs, it will still cost you 30 taels (monetary) of silver..
