Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

Lychee syrup is prepared very quickly. It is made by fermenting rice soaked in cold water. Since it is only soaked for four or five days, the rice wine flavor is not strong. Honey and lychee flesh are then added to the syrup.

The aroma of rice, honey and lychee are intertwined, it is so sweet and sour and refreshing, you will never forget it once you taste it.

Even though Liu Yunqing was in a hurry to swallow the candy with the rice water, he still had to praise it.

"The tea, snacks and drinks in your house are all excellent. They are really hard to find outside."

Seeing that Liu Yunqing was ready to speak, Zhao Chengyan asked what the person's name was and whether the person had seen Mrs. Tuan.

Liu Yunqing didn't dare to tell the truth, so he borrowed the identity of his mother's husband.

"My last name is Qi, you can call me Qi Erlang. I don't deserve your thanks, but it was raining heavily last night, and Fuxia happened to break into my room to take shelter from the rain, so I took him in for the night."

"If my family hadn't mentioned the notice the next day, I wouldn't have known whose cat slave this was. As for your wife, I've never seen her. I think she's been taken in by someone, and she might be back soon."

"I hope it's as Qi Jilang said."

Zhao Chengyan couldn't help feeling disappointed. If he hadn't seen Qi Erlang's innocent look, without any flattery or attempt to gain some benefit from him, Zhao Chengyan wouldn't have kept him company to talk any longer.

"To be honest with you, Qi Erlang, I picked up Tuan Niang on a rainy night. She was so small that she was not even as big as my palm. She was lying alone in a dirty puddle. I thought she was dead and was going to have her buried. But she tried her best to scratch my palm with her little claws. That's when I softened my heart and couldn't help but keep her by my side."

"I didn't feel anything when she was around me on weekdays, but since she got lost yesterday and it rained at night, I kept thinking about how pitiful she was at that time, and I felt really bad."

"Mrs. Tuan and Fuxia got lost together yesterday. I don't think Mrs. Tuan could have run very far. If Qi Erlang sees her again, please send a message to me."

It was the first time that Liu Yunqing heard his origins from Zhao Chengyan.

During the first few days after she came here, she felt sore all over as if she had a fever that she couldn't even open her eyes.

There was always a pair of big hands comforting her, and every hour warm goat's milk was brought to her mouth to fill her stomach and wipe her cheeks and body.

It was seven or eight days later that she realized she was a cat, and the person she saw when she opened her eyes was Mr. Zhao.

Just because he had taken the trouble to take care of her when she was dying, Liu Yunqing couldn't bear to see Mr. Zhao worrying about her anymore.

"Okay, if I see your wife, I will personally bring her here. Don't worry too much. Li Nu also recognizes his home and will always come back after playing outside."

Zhao Chengyan looked at Qi Erlang in front of him and was slightly surprised by the guilt on his face. He didn't ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.

Seeing Qi Erlang getting up to say goodbye, Zhao Chengyan asked Mao'er to bring a thank-you gift.

Mao'er handed a not-so-big box to Liu Yunqing. Liu Yunqing didn't open it. He just thanked him and left.

When he walked to a secluded place and opened it, he found that there were ten gold ingots worth one tael each!

He is truly worthy of being a royal family member. The money he spent at once was more than all the private money she had saved for several years.

This gold didn't take up much space, so Liu Yunqing put it in his purse and hid it close to his body. He went to the silver shop to exchange it for coins and some small change before going out to look for someone to do business with. He returned home at night to avoid being seen by the neighbors and causing gossip.

Liu Yunqing thought she was acting secretly, but she didn't know that when she entered the house, a man in dark clothes appeared at the entrance of the alley.

He quickly climbed up the wall of Liu's house and squatted on the roof of the main room. He watched Qi Erlang enter the west wing and come out as a well-dressed woman.

After a while, his figure disappeared from the roof, and the corner door of Zhao Mansion at Baokang Gate opened and closed quickly.

The man entered the study room in the main courtyard without any obstruction and greeted the two men in the room.

"I have accomplished my mission and have found out the details of Qi Erlang."

One of the people in the study was Zhao Shijin. Although he still held Fuxia in his arms, his face no longer had the nonchalant look he had during the day.

"What? Tell me now, is it possible that he has hidden Miss Tuan and is planning to use her to threaten your officials?"

Zhao Chengyan, who was sitting on a stool reading a book, also looked at the man. He didn't care who Qi Erlang was. He only cared whether Mrs. Tuan was safe.

"Can you see the group lady?"

The man shook his head and said, "I have never seen Mrs. Tuan. While Qi Erlang and his family were having supper, I searched his house thoroughly. Not only did I not find a raccoon, I did not even find the raccoon's bowl or plate. I guess Qi Erlang was not lying. He has never seen Mrs. Tuan."

"But Qi Erlang's identity is not real."

Zhao Shijin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Since he has no bad intentions, why does he dare to bring Fuxia to the mansion? Why does he hide his identity? Could he be a wealthy person?"

After saying this, before waiting for the servant to reply, Zhao Shijin suddenly realized that Fuxia, who was lying on his legs, began to tremble.

Not understanding what was going on, Zhao Shijin hurriedly held him in his arms to comfort him.

"This Qi Erlang is not a young man from some family, but a woman. What's more interesting is that she is the Liu family's Madam Liu who jumped into the Bian River and has not woken up for more than two months."

"I heard her mother urging Madam Liu to get more rest from the beam. Madam Liu just woke up last night, but why did she hide the news after waking up and even asked people to go to the streets to call her soul back as usual? It's really unbelievable."

The man seemed to be addicted to talking, and he blurted out everything without waiting for his husband to ask him any questions.

"I inquired a little more and found out that the Liu family was acting very abnormally today. The Liu family's mother asked the manor agent to sell the house, and she cried to everyone she met that her husband had not been home for a long time. She also pawned her gold and jade jewelry in different shops."

"But the strangest one is Madam Liu. After leaving the mansion, she went straight to the Little Sweet Water Alley, entered the largest brothel, called a few managers to the side rooms, and invited An Niang, Li Niang and other top performers to go in and sing. Her behavior was even more natural than that of the men."

"Because of the sound of singing and playing, I didn't hear clearly what was discussed inside. I stayed for more than half an hour before Madam Liu came out. After that, there was nothing important. She walked around in front of her own bookstore, went to Fanlou to buy cheese, and returned home at night."

Zhao Chengyan put the book in his hand on the table, and the impatience between his brows had turned into depression.

He was not interested in knowing what Madam Liu was going to do.

He just wanted to know where his group lady was.

When he saw "Qi Erlang" today, Zhao Chengyan knew that this man had most likely met Tuan Niangzi. When he mentioned that Tuan Niangzi would return home, his tone was very confident. If someone didn't know, they would think that Tuan Niangzi was raised by him.

Qi Erlang might not mean it, but such an attitude made Zhao Chengyan feel unhappy, even jealous.
