Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 36: Suspicion of Misconduct

Xie Shi gave Bai Yi some instructions and then returned to the original private room with Li Yuening.

Yuwen Kan was already drunk, and he greeted with narrowed eyes and thick tongue, "Thank you, brother, you're back? Here, this is my gift to you, all of which I have collected over the years. You must study hard, otherwise your sister-in-law will dislike you in the wedding night."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Xie Shi also realized what Yuwen Kan's collection was at this moment. He had no embarrassment and took it from A Yu generously, "Thank you very much, Brother Yuwen. I will definitely live up to your kindness."

Apart from anything else, the erotic paintings that Yuwen Kan liked and collected must be of better quality than the ordinary erotic paintings on the market.

Xie Shi’s generosity made Yuwen Kan feel bored. If he was embarrassed and refused, Yuwen Kan could still make a few teasing remarks.

Now seeing Xie Shi casually handing the Chunyan Picture to Li Yuening, and the latter calmly putting it in his sleeve, Yuwen Kan smacked his lips. This couple were really tough characters. It was a pity that his treasured collection was wasted.

Xie Shi originally brought Li Yuening here for dinner, but now that there were a few more people, it didn’t affect their mood. He picked all the delicious food and put it in Li Yuening’s bowl, “This…this is all good. If you like it, I’ll find someone to teach me how to make it for you.”

Li Yuening originally had no desire for food, but this thing, it's okay when you don't have it, but once you enjoy it, it's easy to get addicted and it's out of control.

Hearing this, she smiled and nodded, "I love them all."

Xie Shi said lovingly, "Okay, I'll learn it all. I'll cook different dishes for you every day."

When the two turned around and saw that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Yuwen Kan, needless to say, but also Yun Zhuo, Feng Qian, and A Yu were all looking at them with burning eyes.

Li Yuening wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Did she eat something on her face?

Xie Shi covered his lips with one hand, "Ahem, everyone, please eat your food. Why are you looking at us? Is the food not to your taste?"

Yuwen Kan shook his head and said, "Xie brother, you can't go on like this, it will easily cause the husband to lose his power."

Women in the Jin Dynasty had a low status. To put it bluntly, they were just tools for reproducing offspring. No one thought there was anything wrong with what Yuwen Kan said.

Xie Shi looked around and asked, "Are all of you brothers still unmarried?"

See everyone nod.

Xie Shi smiled evilly and said, "Then Shi, I think you are envious of me?"

As for the husband's lack of authority, he and Yue Ning were meant to be a couple that ordinary people couldn't understand. There was no point in saying more, and time was the best witness.

Yun Zhuo: "Not to mention ordinary couples, there are many newlyweds who are very much in love. It is rare to see newlyweds like you... who are closer than couples who have been married for many years."

After hearing what Yun Zhuo said, everyone realized that Xie Shi and Li Yuening were newly married, and they should be in love with each other, but when you look at her, she is shy and refuses to look up, so ambiguity is the norm.

But they were very open and casual with each other, like old friends. They didn't believe that they could have such a tacit understanding just by spending the previous ten days together.

Feng Qian was puzzled: "Are you really getting married or are you just trying to amuse us?"

Yuwen Kan shook his head, his eyes misty, "My collector's edition, give it back to me."

Xie Shi smiled, "How can I take back something I have given away? I will also give Brother Yuwen a generous gift when he gets married."

"Pah, I'll wait."

Xie Shi looked at Feng Qian with a smile again, "I'm afraid Brother Feng can't save his medicine."

This is in response to the fact that Feng Qian is getting married, so your gift cannot be missing.

Feng Qian gave him a thumbs up.

After the meal, Xie Shi asked the waiter to serve tea. "I wonder if there has been any response to your letters?"

Feng Qian, "As expected, my father is very happy and has already started making the pills he will need on the road. My second sister's in-laws are in the medicinal materials business."

Li Yuening interrupted, "Please help us reserve one, Doctor Feng. We also need some medicine for pediatric emergencies. The more the better."

Feng Qian slid his gaze from Li Yuening's face to her abdomen and stammered, "Madam Li, do you need me to take your pulse?"

Li Yuening chuckled, "Mr. Feng is really persistent. I'm not the one using them. Third Brother Xie and I are planning to adopt some orphans and take them to the northwest. We're afraid the journey is long, so we're keeping them just in case."

"Adopting orphans?"

"Well, there is a shortage of people in the northwest, and there happen to be some unwanted children in Jinling. Instead of being homeless in Jinling, it is better to endure some hardship now. Maybe you can have some luck in another place." Li Yuening's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Yun Zhuo, "Do you want to adopt a girl or a boy?"

“It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you can do something.”

Yun Zhuo took a sip of tea and said, "It's not easy to talk to the government if there are too many people."

This was to remind Li Yuening and the others that keeping more than a certain number of slaves would be suspected of misconduct.

You may be an orphan when you are young, but orphans will grow up.

Li Yuening and Xie Shi looked at each other and both picked up their teacups. "Thank you, Brother Yun, for your advice. Cheers."

The three of them clinked their glasses together. Yun Zhuo said, "Seeing how confident you two are, I was worrying too much."

Xie Shi hurriedly said, "No, what Brother Yun said was indeed something we had not expected, and it was also due to Yue Ning and I not considering it carefully.

But we thought of another thing, which would be easy to solve if it were to happen, and this is what I want to discuss with you next."

Li Yuening used her mental power to sense the surroundings and found no one there, so she nodded to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi recounted the migration from Jiangning to Yecheng and then to Jiangnan, and then analyzed: "If the Nanshan Ancient Tomb is a cover, then the person behind the scenes has gathered a large number of people on the main road to the northwest, which makes people think twice."

Yun Zhuo, "This matter involves the Wulin Alliance and the imperial court, so we have to be cautious. Besides, the Wulin Alliance leader has ordered that ordinary people cannot move it. I will go to Nanshan in person."

Xie Shi clasped his fists and said, "I thank Brother Yun for his generosity on behalf of the people who migrated to Jiangnan."

"Yun is traveling around the world at the order of his master, and it is his duty." Now that he knew his identity, Yun Zhuo did not have so many concerns.

Xie Shi nodded, "There is one more thing. Calculating the date, King Han will leave for Nanshan in less than a month. Yue Ning and I also want to join in the fun. This is the solution we came up with to deal with those orphans."

Yun Zhuo frowned, "My sister-in-law is delicate and precious, so it's safer for her to stay in Jinling."

Li Yuening could tell that Yun Zhuo was concerned with some disdain, but she was not annoyed. "I was sick a while ago, but now I am well. It won't be a burden if you take me with you."

No one believed this except Xie Shi.

Xie Shi coughed lightly, "I will be responsible for Yue Ning's safety. She is careful and can identify many problems that we have not discovered at a glance. It was she who reminded me of the incident in Yecheng this time, otherwise we would have been passive."

Now everyone's eyes on her changed. Suspicion, confusion, and all kinds of complicated expressions appeared one after another.

"Everyone has strengths, don't they?" I have others, and they will blind your eyes. Li Yuening didn't want to hide her shortcomings, but she also didn't want to let them know so easily. The later she exposed them, the more danger she would face.

"Brother Yuwen, send a message to Brother Wei Wuchen and ask him to go to Nanshan instead. Tell him to lend me a helping hand and I will reward him handsomely later." Yun Zhuo didn't dwell on Li Yuening's affairs and patted Yuwen Kan who was taking a nap.

"Senior...senior brother?"
