When Li Yujiao saw the frightened look on Liu's face, she knew that he was not the one who did what happened last night.

Liu Da Dangjia asked worriedly, "How did you know that your signboard was going to be burned last night? Did you see that person's face? Do you want me to help you vent your anger?"

Li Yujiao said: "I didn't see the man's face clearly. Last night, my long-term worker Erhua heard some noise outside and went out to check. Only then did she find kerosene on the sign. There was also an arrow at the scene. I guess someone is helping us in secret."

"Do you think this person is me?"

"Everyone in our shop guesses that this person is you!"

Liu Da Dangjia said with certainty: "It's not me. I went to bed very early last night. Whenever there is a bodyguard job, my wife always advises me to go to bed early. Besides, I dare not claim such a credit."

Li Yujiao couldn't help but ask: "Who could it be?"

Liu Da said, "Yujiao, you must have done a lot of good deeds, so there is a noble person helping you in secret."

……

Li Yujiao drove the ox cart back home.

Seeing Wang Erhua making seasoning in the yard, Li Yujiao told her about her meeting with Liu Dadang.

"I just saw Mr. Liu."

"Oh? Was it him who helped us last night?" Wang Erhua asked excitedly.

Li Yujiao shook her head: "It's not him."

"Ah? Who could that be?" Wang Erhua was surprised.

Jing Qishan felt that he should stand up and admit it now, so that the two women would not keep having wild thoughts.

However, Wang Erhua suddenly had another crazy idea: "Jiao Jie, I guess the person who helped you should be your admirer."

Li Yujiao couldn't help but glance at Jing Qishan. After all, he was her husband, so she still had to be considerate of him.

"Erhua, what are you talking about?"

Wang Erhua said: "I'm not talking nonsense. You are so capable, there must be some people who secretly admire you."

Then Wang Erhua glared at Jing Qishan fiercely: "But, you are a married woman after all. People are afraid of affecting your reputation, so they are embarrassed to come out and admit it."

Li Yujiao looked at Jing Qishan and saw that he looked gloomy. She couldn't help but cover Wang Erhua's mouth: "Erhua, stop talking!"

If you keep talking, you will be the one being boiled in the future!

"Hmm..." Wang Erhua couldn't utter a word.

But at this moment, Jing Qishan came up with an idea!

If he had been working for her in secret and created a perfect image of a hero for her, would she fall in love with this hero?

When the time comes, if he stands up and admits that he is the hero, wouldn't she be so moved that she bursts into tears and throws herself into his arms?

……

Li Yujiao assigned Wang Erhua a new task and told her not to talk nonsense here anymore.

She even dares to offend Jing Qishan. She is simply courting death!

Then she came to Jing Qi and apologized on behalf of Wang Erhua: "Qishan, Erhua is outspoken, don't bother with her. I don't have any admirers. What happened last night was just a coincidence."

But Jing Qishan obviously didn't mind, he even smiled faintly: "Maybe you really have it?"

That's me.

Seeing that he was not angry at all, Li Yujiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on her back.

For a cunning person like Jing Qishan, if he is not angry, it means he is harboring bad intentions.

"It's nothing, don't think too much about it!" She said in a heavier tone.

However, Jing Qishan changed his usual indifference and even said, "I am not fully recovered yet, so I can't help you with many things in the shop, but I still hope that if you encounter any difficulties, you can discuss it with me. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Li Yujiao looked at him seriously for a while.

Maybe she hadn't paid enough attention to him recently and didn't know what he really thought.

It may also be that as his health improved, his mentality changed. After all, no one wants to rely on others to serve them for the rest of their life.

"Okay, if anything happens in the future, I'll tell you."

Jing Qishan gave her a satisfied and gentle smile.

Li Yujiao got goosebumps.

When has he ever been so gentle?

Is he planning something bad?

……

Because she knew someone wanted to burn the signboard, Li Yujiao didn't dare to sleep that night.

She originally wanted to take turns on duty with Wang Erhua and Jing Qizhi, but the new store had just opened and there were still a lot of customers. They were already busy enough during the day, and she felt embarrassed to trouble them, so she could only be more vigilant herself.

After dark, she moved a chair and sat in the attic corridor, but heard Jing Qishan calling her from the side.

"Li Yujiao!"

Li Yujiao hurried into his room.

"what happened?"

Jing Qishan asked: "It's so late, why are you still outside?"

"I don't sleep much," she said.

"But are you worried that someone might do something bad?"

Li Yujiao nodded: "I am a little nervous."

Jing Qishan said: "Carry me out, I will keep watch for you."

"But you..."

"I'm just not feeling well. If anything happens, I'll call you. Besides, didn't Wang Erhua say that I only eat and don't work? Keeping watch for you at night counts as work, right? Tomorrow you can shut her stinky mouth."

After hearing what he said, Li Yujiao simply agreed.

She went over and hugged him.

But when she picked her up, she saw him looking at her.

In the night, his eyes sparkled.

Her heart tightened.

It's that look a man gives a woman again!

He still had his arms around her neck.

Still sticking tightly.

Is it...

Seeing that she didn't move, Jing Qishan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me?"

The indifferent tone made her feel that she was being too sentimental.

Yes, he is a future treacherous minister, how could he be interested in her?

She couldn't help but carry him to the bamboo chair outside.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the nights became a little chillier than in summer, so she took another sheet and covered him with it.

Jing Qishan said: "Okay, you go back to sleep, I'll just stay here and watch over you."

Li Yujiao was worried: "What if you catch a cold?"

“I’m in great shape now!”

"What if you want to go easy on yourself?"

"I'll hold it in."

"..."

Seeing that she seemed worried, Jing Qishan said, "Then stay here with me for a while, and go in and sleep when you feel sleepy."

"That's fine." Li Yujiao said.

Then Li Yujiao also sat down next to her.

The bamboo chair was not big, and she yawned repeatedly when she sat down.

He simply said, "Why don't you lie down? There is no requirement to sit all the time while keeping watch. You can still keep watch while lying down."

Li Yujiao listened to him and lay down.

The night in Yong'an Town is very quiet, only occasionally one can hear a few dogs barking nearby.

She lay on the attic walkway and could still see the stars in the sky.

There were so many stars in ancient times, and you could even see the Milky Way.

After watching for a while, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

Jing Qishan looked at her sleeping in the night.
