Chapter 217 The Man in Black Dies

"Oh, Chibi Maruko-chan seemed to have told me that Sister Yaoyao has taught you the face-changing technique." The Chibi Maruko-chan here is the name we gave to the golden pig as a joke. Its full name is Octopus Maruko-chan, and the golden pig quite likes it.

But I still feel more comfortable calling him Golden Pig, and my daughter sometimes calls me that, "You know that, and you still ask me what I'm doing!"

Isn't this the most infuriating thing? "You really can't tell, I thought you were just drawing for fun."

Okay, Nannan knows how to make people angry. I almost passed out from anger. I decided not to draw anymore. That’s it. I was hit hard. Nannan and I lay on the bed together, looking at the ceiling. This guy kept pestering me to tell him a story.

"Have you finished reading the storybook?" How come I remember it was only updated not long ago? How could this guy finish it so quickly?

"What are you talking about? Aren't those things later just nonsense? Not only is the plot a mess, it's also my least favorite!" Listening to Nannan's complaints, I laughed even more happily. Who made this guy keep urging me like this?

I didn't have much in the mood to write before, so I must have just scribbled without thinking, hahaha. I still want to praise myself for being smart, and I can write so much without thinking.

"Hey, what do you think Shen Jing meant by what he said?" Since there are no stories to tell, let's just talk about gossip. This seems like something I can complain about to my daughter.

"What are you talking about?" Looking at Nannan's wise question, I couldn't believe that these were what Nannan said. She is the one who got the real gossip from me, but she didn't know. It seems that Nannan has been a little weird recently.

"I haven't seen you practicing recently. Why don't I see you every day? What are you doing recently?" My soul-searching question stunned Nannan. She just lay down without saying anything and pretended to sleep.

"Why didn't Yaoyao see Li Yu when she came back? What do you think is going on?" I lay on my side and looked at Nannan. When Nannan heard the word Li Yu, she clearly saw this guy's eyelids move. It was really easy to guess.

"Oh, really? I didn't know." Nannan felt that the situation was not right and she had failed in pretending, so she still had to explain.

"I don't know. Then help me find something, and I really won't know anything." I was also skeptical. I didn't know anything, but they must have a problem.

"What are you looking for?"

"The heart of a dead thing." That's right, it's the one that the Golden Pig asked me for. I have no clue at all. It's a dead thing. There are so many dead animals. Who knows which one it is? This is a good opportunity for me to use tricks on Nannan.

"It's your own task, go find it yourself." Oh my god, I've been discovered. Nannan didn't know much about gossip, but she knew this. This knowledge point is really strange. Looking at Nannan's expression, she should know something.

Nannan glared at me and was thinking about something. At this moment, I should directly attack Nannan's soul, which would be effective. "Then I'd better call Li Yu. I don't know if he's back."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you. Isn't it okay for me to help you?" Just helping is enough. He stopped attacking this guy and started to study what the heart of this dead object is.

"This thing should be in the Shen Mansion." Nannan thought about it and directly said a key point. This is not unreasonable, but why would this guy say that?

"Why are you so sure that he is in the Shen Mansion?" I asked my own question. I was too curious about what this guy was thinking.

"Haven't you noticed that these missions are all related to Shen Jing?" Nannan really directly said part of the information in the script. Otherwise, I would be sure that Nannan is from this world.

I am going to shake Nannan hundreds of times and ask her to tell me where the script is, or what the script is. I will then take the golden pig to Shen's Mansion to check it out tomorrow.

But before that, there was something more important. What was it? That was to let Hongdou just settle the accounts and not work herself to death. She hugged her daughter and started to plan for tomorrow. But before she even started thinking, she lost consciousness.

I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I followed Hongdou to the store. I watched Hongdou and let those girls do it while Hongdou watched them count the money. Hongdou felt very uncomfortable watching this. She wanted to go out to help several times, but I stopped her every time.

I was exhausted after this day. When I saw that Hongdou was not doing well and wanted to go up, I pulled him back. I don't know how many times I pulled him back. When Hongdou was checking the accounts, he checked them several times and was obviously not confident. Yes, this guy was absent-minded.

"Please settle your bill carefully. I'll go find something to eat. Do you want to eat anything? I'll bring it for you." The answer she got was definitely that she didn't want to. Now that she had to settle the bill, Hongdou was already exhausted, let alone eating.

This eating was also an excuse. I started to take the golden pig around the outer wall of the Shen Mansion for a long time. "Is there any? Take a good look, which one is the closest?" I touched the golden pig's little head, like a thief.

"It seems to be in this area, why don't we go in and take a look?" That makes sense. I was indeed hoping to find out whether it was outside. I really didn't want to go in, so I might as well go in stealthily.

I was startled when I turned around. Why? I saw Mr. Shen looking at me with a kind smile on his face. I was so scared that I covered my mouth.

When my heart beat slower, I said, "Mr. Shen, why are you here? This seems quite sudden." I spoke first, otherwise I would keep looking at this kind face and feel as if there was a terrifying face hidden behind it.

"I came out for a walk, why don't you go in? What are you doing here?"

"I dropped something here. Let me see if I can find it again." This was the only excuse I could think of. I even pretended to touch my hair to give Mr. Shen some illusion.

"Oh, is it a hairpin? It's not a valuable thing. Ask Shen Jing to buy you one when the time comes." After saying that, Mr. Shen took me in, and I could only follow him obediently.

There was no other way at this time, so I had to grit my teeth and go in. On the way in, Mr. Shen paused several times, as if he was waiting for me. I followed him all the way to Mr. Shen's study, and when he was at the door of the study.

"Wait a moment, I'll clean up." Mr. Shen closed the door in front of me, which scared me. And this series of actions was too smooth, as if he had done it many times. If I hadn't walked a little slowly.

He must have had his nose fixed. There was no sound from inside and I was really curious, so I stretched my head to listen to what was going on inside. Just as I was about to stick my head out, the door opened.

Mr. Shen still had that friendly face and began to invite me in. This was the first time I had entered this study room. I had thought the room would be a little dark and the ventilation would not be very good, but this was completely the opposite.

The lighting in the room was extremely good and the air was fresh. After all, Mr. Shen was the eldest son of the Shen family, so his study must be the best room. I sat down and wanted to see what this guy wanted to talk about.

It seemed like there was nothing to talk about between us, except for Shen Jing. This guy wasn't going to talk about him and Ling'er, was he? As a result, while I was still drinking my tea peacefully, Mr. Shen went straight into the topic of Ling'er.

This scared me, but seeing my reaction, he continued, "You don't have to worry about Ling'er. As long as I don't agree, he can't marry her."

When Mr. Shen mentioned Shen Jing, he seemed to be so angry that he almost passed out. I was so scared that I put down my teacup and almost died on Mr. Shen. Fortunately, nothing happened. I didn't feel strange when I heard Mr. Shen's attitude.

Mr. Shen, with his status as a man, has only one wife and no one else outside. He should despise such behavior. At this time, should I scold Shen Jing, or scold Shen Jing, or scold Shen Jing.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and held it in. After all, he was someone else's son. Who would feel comfortable scolding someone in front of him? Finally, he said ambiguously, "Mr. Shen, don't be angry. It seems that the young master is a frequent customer of Manxianglou."

This is really a perfect statement. Don’t blame me. But isn’t it weird to say this? How do I know that Shen Jing is a regular customer of Manxianglou? Oh, by the way, that’s my own store. This should be a good excuse.

Of course, these words must have made Master Shen angry again. This time, he really went forward to pat Master Shen on the shoulder to relax him, for fear that he would pass out.

"No, Zi Fu hasn't come back yet. I miss her a lot, too." I quickly diverted my attention away. When talking about Zi Fu, Mr. Shen couldn't hide his severe discomfort, which made me feel a little strange.

What's going on with this uncomfortable look? I felt a little panicked, "What's wrong with Zi Fu?" I asked anxiously. I was really afraid that something had happened to Zi Fu, but after a while, Mr. Shen changed his expression.

"Zi Fu is fine, you will be able to see her soon. Hey, little girl, how do you feel about Shen Jing?" I felt relieved by the first few words, but the latter ones left me confused.

What? What do you mean by Shen Jing? Can I tell the truth? Of course not. "Mr. Shen is a good person." This is the only thing I can say. I really don't want to comment.

"Hahaha, okay, I heard that the girl opened a shop recently and the business is very good. What's its name?" No, why does Mr. Shen speak so strangely? Why is he so happy? Is it because I praised his son?

Mr. Shen probably didn't notice the sarcastic words I used. I thought about it and realized that my shop didn't seem to have a name. I thought that the shop would be given to Hongdou anyway, so I could let Hongdou come up with a name herself.

"The shop doesn't have a sign yet. I plan to wait until the store is bigger and then find someone to put the sign on it." I was telling the truth, I just found a different person. It's a small problem.

"Okay, then I'll help you come up with a word, okay?" When you say this, I have the right to refuse. It must be a compliment.

"Really? That's really a glorious time for our shop." There is a saying that is true: flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes it has. Mr. Shen happily called someone, took out a pen and ink, thought about it, and then wrote down two words with all his might.

I took a closer look. Qing Xiao, the characters were very beautifully written. "Qing Xiao, this name is very well chosen."

I picked up the paper and read the word over and over again. I actually didn't quite understand what it meant. Fortunately, Mr. Shen explained it to me, "Qing Xiao means high moral character and integrity."

While I was still wondering what mood this word was used in, Mr. Shen took out a property deed from somewhere and handed it to me. I was a little confused when I saw it, but still took it and looked at the address on it. It seemed to be near the shop he opened.

"This is the place closest to your store, and it happens to be empty, so I'll give it to you." Although Mr. Shen said so, the store is not small and it is located in a popular area. It would be a waste if he didn't give it up. It can also add some dowry to Hongdou.

It's a good thing, why not? I just accepted it. After thanking Master Shen, I came out with the servant. The servant praised me and said that Master Shen really liked me and gave me such a good place.

"Mr. Shen is a good man, he will surely live a long life. By the way, where is Mrs. Jiang? Why haven't I seen her for so long?" He still felt puzzled. Mrs. Jiang has always loved her son. Even though she was angry last time, she wouldn't stay away from home for so long.

"Ah, Madam Jiang usually goes to the temple to burn incense at this time. Mr. Shen has come out, and it's almost time for him to come back." I was walking beside the attendant, and I was still a little surprised to hear this. What did it mean that Mr. Shen came out and Madam Jiang also came back?

"What's wrong, young lady?" Seeing that I didn't leave, the servant came to my side and asked me. I touched my head and my hairpin.

"Hey, I suddenly remembered that I haven't found my hairpin yet, but it's made of gold and I like it very much. I still have to go look for it. You go and do your work first." Before the servant said he would help me find it, I sent him away.

After I said what I said, the other person didn't have anything to say, so he nodded and left. I looked at the deed in my hand, put the things away, and walked back to the place I had just been. I walked quickly to the place I had just been and hid myself.

Something is really wrong. Something is wrong with this place. Mr. Shen has been sending people here and there. He has been waiting for the right time and has been almost bitten to death by mosquitoes. Finally, this person comes out.

What he saw was Mr. Shen and the man in black. "No need to come." After Mr. Shen said that, the man in black just left. After Mr. Shen was sure that the man had left, he still didn't move. After a while, he saw a man in black carrying a corpse.

Why is the corpse still wearing black clothes? The living one was saying something to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen took out the silver bills from his pocket and handed them to the person and left. After the living one received the money, he carried the corpse away.

Mr. Shen certainly can't follow him, but this living man in black can. Carrying a corpse in broad daylight, he is very conspicuous and will definitely not run far.
