The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 759: Being so familiar?

"Who are those ahead?" The group of people approaching shouted at them from a distance, "Are they fishermen from Haixian Town?"

Xiao Jiu stopped, put Ye Wenyan down, took a few deep breaths, and then whispered to Ye Wenyan: "It looks like the second master of the Shen family. I've been to Haixian Town before and saw him from a distance once. He looks like this."

Ye Wenyan looked at the group of people and saw that the man in the lead was wearing a cloak made of black fox fur. He was about 27 or 28 years old, tall and imposing. Because he had lived in the south for many years, his skin was a healthy wheat color, which looked very comfortable.

As she looked over, the man also looked over at her. He was stunned when he saw her face, and even stopped walking. But he only stopped for a moment, and soon walked towards her again, with hurried steps, obviously anxious. Ye Wenyan was suspicious, wondering if this man recognized her? It shouldn't be! The Shen family is not an official household, and they live in the southernmost part. There is no reason for them to recognize the fourth young lady Ye at first sight. Even if she became the future empress, the imperial edict would not arrive in Chiyun City so quickly, not to mention that the weather changed and there was a heavy snowstorm everywhere. The imperial edict would have been delayed long ago.

Just as she was thinking about something, the man came to her side, stared at her deeply, and asked: "Have you just arrived in Haixian Town? But from Chiyun City? What's the situation over there?"

Seeing that he was just staring at her, not mentioning recognizing her, and asking normal questions, Ye Wenyan became even more confused.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the visitor introduced himself and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. I am from the Shen Mansion in Haixian Town. I am the second master of the Shen family and my name is Shen Muyang. If you are coming to the town to seek refuge with your relatives, I can take you there. If you are homeless, I can also provide you with a place to stay. Just ask you to tell me the truth. There is a natural disaster right now, and everyone must take care of each other." At this time, Xiao Jiu took over and said to Shen Muyang, "We are from Chiyun City. Our family is too poor. We have no food to eat and no thick quilts to cover. We can't stand it anymore, so we thought of trying our luck in Haixian Town. I heard that there are many fish and shrimps in Haixian Town. Such cold weather is just right for freezing and eating for a long time. As for the situation in Chiyun City, it is the same as Haixian Town. It snows every day and the wind blows hard. It feels like a knife cutting your face."

After Shen Muyang heard him say this, he looked at him again and felt that the way he was dressed did not look like someone from a poor family. He wanted to expose his mistake, but when he looked at Ye Wenyan, he swallowed the words.

"In that case, why don't you two go to the Shen Mansion as guests? The Shen family has the most fish and shrimp, and they are wealthy and powerful, so they won't let you go hungry."

Xiao Jiu wanted to refuse, because he felt that the Shen family was indeed wealthy, but also had many rules. Moreover, they had just been hunted down by the Shen family, and one of the guards was injured in the snow. He didn't know if he had frozen to death! How dare he enter the Shen Mansion?

He opened his mouth and was about to say no, but then he heard Ye Wenyan say, "In that case, then I won't refuse Mr. Shen's kindness." Then he pulled Xiao Jiu and said to Mr. Shen, "He is my brother."

Shen Muyang glanced at Xiao Jiu and bowed politely, and Xiao Jiu quickly returned the greeting. Then Shen Muyang asked, "I don't know your names yet!" After that, he looked at Ye Wenyan and said, "It's really rude to ask a girl's name. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."

Ye Wenyan shook his head. "We are all people in trouble. There is nothing to hide. My name is Yaoyao, and my brother's name is Xiaojiu."

After hearing her introduction, Shen Muyang automatically attributed her surname to Xiao, thinking her name was Xiao Yaoyao. So he bowed and said, "Miss Xiao." Then he greeted Xiao Jiu, "Mr. Xiao." After that, he took off the fox fur coat from behind and put it directly on Ye Wenyan, saying, "It's snowing hard outside, let's go home and talk!"

This sounded awkward, as if Ye Wenyan and he were a family, and he was so natural to put clothes on her and told her to go home quickly. But they were just casual acquaintances, and they didn't even know each other's names until they mentioned each other. How could Shen Muyang be so familiar with her? Xiao Jiu was a little unhappy, and hurriedly took two steps forward, patted Shen Muyang's arm when he wanted to put his arm around Ye Wenyan, and then said, "Second Master Shen is too polite. My sister has caught a cold and is not feeling well. We would be disrespectful to refuse your cloak, but I, as her brother, have to help her walk. After all, men and women should not be too close to each other, so please don't give people the misunderstanding, Second Master."

Then he half-knelt down beside Ye Wenyan, turned around and said to her: "Come up, brother will carry you."

Ye Wenyan wanted to say that she could walk by herself, but she was afraid that Shen Muyang would do something intimate again. After thinking about it, she still lay on Xiao Jiu's back and let him carry her. But after walking a few steps, she thought again, she and Xiao Jiu were just casual acquaintances, but she met Shen Muyang two days earlier. Now Xiao Jiu carried her on his back, isn't it also an intimate act? In fact, Xiao Jiu is less trustworthy than Shen Muyang. After all, Shen Muyang is the second master of the Shen family, and this identity is legitimate and well-documented. But she still has no idea what Xiao Jiu's identity is. So why can she trust Xiao Jiu but not Shen Muyang? She was thinking about these things in her heart, and it didn't happen that Xiao Jiu thought the same thing as her. At this time, he turned his head slightly and said to her in the whistling wind and snow: "The more I think about what the woman said when we left Chiyun City, the more I think there is something wrong. And that big monster, didn't you also make a mistake? So there must be something fishy about the Shen family, and the people of the Shen family cannot be trusted."

Ye Wenyan nodded. It was indeed for this reason that she agreed to let Shen Muyang stay at Shen Mansion. She just didn't know if what the woman said could get some information from Shen Muyang. Is the Shen Mansion in Haixian Town the same as the Shen Mansion in Chiyun City? Also, after she arrives at Shen Mansion, can she come and go freely and go to the beach easily?

Haixian Town is not big. Shen Muyang introduced them as he walked along, saying that there are only about thirty households in the whole town, and they all make a living by fishing. The Shen family's mansion is the largest, with four courtyards and many guest houses, enough for them to live in.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the Shen residence. The servants opened the door and welcomed them in. There were many servants sweeping the snow in the front yard, and a man who looked like a housekeeper came forward, glanced at Ye Wenyan and Xiao Jiu, and then asked Shen Muyang: "Second Master, who are these two..."

Shen Muyang pointed at them and said, "It's Miss Xiao and Mr. Xiao who have come to Haixian Town to seek refuge. Go and arrange two guest houses for them to stay in immediately. Remember, the house for Miss Xiao must be sheltered from the wind and as warm as possible, and the bedding must be replaced with new ones."

The housekeeper seemed to understand something and said with a smile, "I understand. I will prepare it right away."

Shen Muyang led the two of them to the front hall and sat them down. Xiao Jiu put Ye Wenyan down and helped her tidy up her dress. He also asked her if she was tired or uncomfortable. A servant from the Shen Mansion brought ginger sugar water. He took it and blew it, then tasted it. It seemed that he was trying to see if it was hot, but when he handed it to Ye Wenyan, he said, "I'll drink it first. I'm fine for now. It shouldn't be poisonous."

Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, she took it and drank it, Xiao Jiu then sat down next to her, and then asked Shen Muyang: "Second Master Shen, do you take everyone you meet to live in your home? Just like the government of Chiyun City, all the people who fled to Chiyun City were taken to the government office to sleep on the floor, and even the prison was full of refugees. Are you also imitating the prefect?"

Shen Muyang shook his head. "I dare not say I will follow suit. Haixian Town has never had refugees come here before. You are the first. But because the Shen Mansion is the largest mansion in Haixian Town, as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. So at this time, it is only natural for the Shen family to stand up to protect Haixian Town and help the people in need."

There was nothing wrong with what he said. If it weren't for the undisguised enthusiasm in his eyes, Ye Wenyan would have really thought that this Master Shen was a reasonable and righteous man. Unfortunately, his eyes staring at her were too distracting, like a man in love looking at the girl he liked, and even reminded her of the way Shi Liyuan looked at her.

Ye Wenyan really wanted to ask if this Second Master Shen was ill. They had only met once, why did he act like this? People who didn't know would think that the two of them were having a bad time, but in fact, it was not the case at all.

Xiao Jiu also felt that Shen Muyang was annoying, so he moved his body and stood between the two of them.

Just then, a person pushed the door open and came in. She was a young and beautiful woman. As soon as she came in, she ran towards Ye Wenyan.

Shen Muyang immediately stood up and pulled the young woman aside, and shouted, "Why are you here? Go back quickly, this is not the place for you!" After that, he ordered the servants, "Take Aunt away quickly!"

Immediately, maids and old women came in and tried to drag the young woman away.

But the young woman didn't leave. She looked at Ye Wenyan and said, "Master, are you going to take in another new woman? I've only been married for less than two months, and you've already fallen for another girl. You're really devoted! And you, a young girl, why don't you do anything else? Why do you have to follow others and become a concubine? Is it that easy to be a concubine in the Shen Mansion? Do you know how many concubines the Second Master Shen has? I tell you, you can't even count them with ten fingers! How depressed are you? What's so good about the Shen family? The Shen family can't even keep a child."

The old woman was anxious, and she used all her strength to drag the young woman out of the door. Ye Wenyan heard the old woman threatening the young woman, "Before the master gets angry, shut up quickly. You are just a concubine, and the second wife hasn't said anything yet. It's not your turn to intervene in the master's affairs. Be careful not to anger the master or he will throw you outside to freeze to death, and your family, the Shen family, will no longer care about you."
