It is the time when the clouds stop raining

I hope that when I go back, my grandmother and mother won’t blame me.

Since that day, Jiang Mingshan seemed to have recovered his vitality.

It's getting better day by day.

He got better and was not in a hurry to find Yun Bai to express his feelings.

Because Jiang Mingshan knew that he had to do better to be worthy of Yun Bai.

Jiang Mingshan was the son of a merchant and could not take the imperial examinations, and the same was true for his descendants.

So he had to earn more money to be worthy of the person who was going to marry him.

If you can’t give status, then give money and jewelry.

Yun Shu and Chu Beili were having dinner in the dining room when they saw several big men come in all of a sudden.

They are all very slim, and it seems like the result of years of exercise.

A few of them were quite polite and came to Zuixianlou to pack some food.

It’s no wonder that they have big appetites. The five of them ordered a lot of food together, which was ten times more than Yun Shu and Chu Beili. Maybe they really eat a lot.

It seems like a lot of exercise.

After finishing their meal, they went to Cao's house to digest their food.

Who knew that the housekeeper of the Cao family thought they were mean people who were trying to get something for free and didn't let them into the Cao Mansion.

Until Chu Beili picked up a jade pendant on his body and said: "Open your eyes and take a look, this jade pendant can buy all of you Cao Mansions."

The housekeeper also knew what was good. He could tell at a glance that the material of the jade pendant was extraordinary. The two of them were really not poor relatives who came to ask for money.

Yun Shu said, “We are from the Xie family in Beijing, and we are here to visit Master Cao about my second uncle Xie Liangping.

The official said hurriedly: "I am blind and do not recognize the real master. It turns out that you two are relatives of Mr. Xie. Wait a moment, I will go and report to my master.

Yun Shu and Chu Beili came to the reception room of the Cao family, but heard Mr. Cao coughing repeatedly. He was not in a very good mental state and was completely different from the person he was at noon.

Chu Beili said, "I've heard that Mr. Cao is kind and generous, and today I see that he is indeed extraordinary."

Master Cao saw that they were two strange young men. Although he didn't know what their relationship with Xie Liangping was, and why they came to his house,

But one thing is certain: the two of them were definitely not doing it for the money.

Master Cao asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Yun Shu said, "I came to Cao's house today to bother you because I wanted Master Cao to tell me about my uncle Xie Shuping's deeds. His death anniversary is coming soon, and I was sent by the Xie family to pay tribute to my second uncle."

Master Cao stood up and saluted. Xie Shuping was from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and was the one with the highest status among the people he knew. "I have been waiting for so many years, and finally your Xie family has arrived. Please take a seat."

Yun Shu was very surprised when he heard this. What did he mean by "waiting for many years"? Didn't Xie Qingyun come to visit him?

Yun Shu asked, "Excuse me, Master Cao."

Master Cao said, "What Master Cao or not? When I met Shuping, my family could barely make ends meet. It was all thanks to Shuping's help that I am what I am today."

Recalling that time, Mr. Cao's face was full of joy. Although they were poor at that time, they lived a happy life.

Yun Shu said, "Then how did you get to know my uncle?"

Mr. Cao said, "After Xie Shuping took office, he took good care of the people. Everyone said that a great and upright official had come to the county. I was also very curious and had always wanted to meet this great official."

Mr. Cao went on to say, "At that time, my family had a few acres of good land and grew some food, vegetables, fruits and the like to sell. When Shu Ping was in office, I supplied everything in the mansion. After a few visits, I found that he had no official airs at all, and we gradually became familiar with each other."

"Shu Ping likes to drink wine on weekdays. It just so happens that I have some skills in making wine. He came to learn from me in his spare time. We met because of grain, and later because of our love of wine."

Mr. Cao said a lot, as if he had kept these words hidden for many years and blurted them out today.

Sometimes I feel happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes I feel emotional. How could Xie Shuping, such a good person, die like this?

No one expected that Xie Shuping, who loved wine so much, would die due to drunkenness.

After saying that, Master Cao asked Yunshu to wait a moment, as he had something to give to Yunshu.

Chu Beili looked at Master Cao's back as he left and said to Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, don't you find it strange that Master Cao talked about so many things about your second uncle, but he didn't mention the two people who are most important to your second uncle."

After Chu Beili's reminder, Yun Shu also realized that this was exactly the case: "Xie Qingyun and Li Yuling."

Chu Beili said: "First, your second uncle doesn't often mention it, and second, Mr. Cao has forgotten it."

Yun Shu said: "When we came in, he said that he had finally waited for the Xie family."

What does this mean? It means that Xie Qingyun has never come here, which is not normal at all.

As my second uncle's daughter, when I came to the place where he worked throughout his life, I must visit his friends.

However, Xie Qingyun and Li Yuling came several times, but neither of them came to visit Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao never mentioned them.

What does this prove? Mr. Cao is not familiar with Li Yuling and Xie Qingyun at all.

He has such a good relationship with Xie Shuping, why isn't he familiar with Li Yuling and Xie Qingyun?

It must be that Xie Shuping didn't mention it often, and he never brought Li Yuling and Xie Qingyun here.

Whenever their second uncle was mentioned, Li Yuling and Xie Qingyun looked indifferent.

There's something fishy here.

I'll have to find time to test it out when I get back.

The relationship between the two is not that close with the second uncle.

Yunshu thought back to the past when they went home to visit their parents for a month and she really had never seen her second uncle hug Xie Qingyun.

He didn't even treat Xie Qingyun with a friendly face.

At that time, Xie Qingyun was like a frightened bird. She walked with her head down every day, feeling scared and timid.

As Xie Shuping's niece, her second uncle was very kind to her.

Why isn't he close to the mother and daughter? Does he also know Xie Qingyun's identity?

Knowing that Xie Qingyun is not his daughter.

In this case, it seems that some things should be different from what she imagined.

Yun Shu couldn't help but sympathize with Xie Shuping. As Xie Liangping's biological brother, the daughter he adopted was not his own, and she also knew the truth clearly, but what could she do? One was his brother and the other was his wife.

He could only flee to this place with his family, far away from the capital, and never wanted to go back.

Could it be that my second uncle’s death is also related to Xie Liangping?

Based on Yunshu's understanding of Li Yuling and her daughter, could it be that his second uncle really got drunk and fell into the lotus pond and drowned?

Yun Shu was frightened by the thought.
