Wan Qingyan nodded slightly, approving of her statement, and said slowly, "Shi Ming, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember not to be careless in the slightest and don't let me down!"

After Wan Qingyan finished speaking, he patted Shi Ming's shoulder, then turned and walked away. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and winked gently at A Nian who was standing beside him.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sly smile as she said, "Anian, don't forget to bury the bodies of the Li family!"

After saying this, Wan Qingyan did not stop and strode towards the gate of Li Mansion. His figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Before Ah Nian could reply, Wan Qingyan left. She could only pout and grumble quietly, "Humph~ Bullying a child!"

Shi Ming heard Ah Nian's complaints, held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, then reached out and touched her little head and said, "Ah Nian, we will help you bury it together, don't worry!"

When Ah Nian heard this, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He nodded and smiled repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Shi, you are such a kind person. You won't bully children!"

When Shi Ming heard what An Nian said, he couldn't help but chuckled, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "An Nian, thank you for praising me. It was very nice. Don't praise me next time!"

After Shi Ming finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went to work. Time was tight and the task was heavy, she couldn't delay the progress!

Seeing Shi Ming leave, Ah Nian rolled up her sleeves and began to work. She first dragged out Li Jing's disfigured body. She wanted to bury Li Jing properly...

As soon as Wan Qingyan left Li's house, she put on a veil and a hat, wrapping herself tightly so that no one could recognize her.

Afterwards, she walked in the street with a swagger, eating, drinking, and having fun while observing the people's sentiments. She also met Wan Qingyu who was leading a patrol. Fortunately, she was quick-eyed and avoided him in advance, otherwise she would have been exposed!

Wan Qingyan walked over to a small stall selling candied haws. When the vendor saw her elegant attire, he immediately and attentively offered his services, "My lady, these candied haws are freshly made this morning. The hawthorns are sour and sweet. If you like them, you can buy one to try!"

Wan Qingyan saw at a glance that the vendor was not lying. The candied haws looked sour and sweet and delicious. He immediately took out some change from his purse and handed it to the vendor, saying, "Okay, give me two strings. I want the bigger hawthorn ones!"

The vendor smiled and handed two large strings of candied haws to Wan Qingyan. He took the silver and weighed it twice before saying embarrassedly, "My lady, do you have any loose change? I can't make the change!"

After Wan Qingyan took the candied haws, she hurriedly started to eat it. The candied haws did not disappoint her. It was sour and sweet and very delicious.

Her mood also improved a lot, so she waved her hand and said, "The candied haws taste good, you don't need to pay, the rest of the money is your reward!"

When the vendor heard Wan Qingyan's words, she was ecstatic. This amount of money was enough for her to earn from selling candied haws for two months. She was about to say thank you, but she could only see Wan Qingyan's hurried back...

Wan Qingyan was biting a red, crystal clear candied haws in his mouth, his cheeks bulging as he chewed, while he continued walking quickly forward without stopping.

She had just walked a short distance when two figures appeared in her sight and were walking towards her!

Wan Qingyan looked closely and found that one of them was Cui Shici, and the other was a pretty woman with an exquisite bun with a few pearl flowers inserted in it, which swayed gently as she walked!

Seeing this scene, Wan Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. Since the two of them had a big fight that day, they haven't seen each other again. She still feels awkward seeing him now and doesn't want to talk to him!

She quickly adjusted herself, pretending not to recognize him, and continued to chew the candied haws in her hand as if nothing had happened, walking forward steadily.

On the other side, Cui Shici recognized Wan Qingyan almost at first sight. Although she wrapped herself tightly, these disguises were completely useless to him.

After all, her appearance can be changed through some means, but his unique feeling for her cannot be changed in any way!

When the two passed each other, Cui Shici suppressed the urge to talk to Wan Qingyan. He had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start. The jealousy he felt towards Zheng Changchuan never stopped, and even became more serious!

He realized that she was disguised because she didn't want to be recognized, so he had to pretend to be a stranger and pass by her!

"Master, do you know the veiled lady?"

The woman next to Cui Shici keenly noticed that he was in a bad mood. After turning her head to glance at Wan Qingyan's back, she immediately asked in a low and concerned voice, "Master, do you know the veiled lady?"

When Cui Shici heard this, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes. After a deep sigh, he forced a smile and replied, "Ci Aiyan, you're asking too much. Have you sorted out the theater's account books?"

Ci Aiyan's face froze instantly. The corners of Yang Qi's mouth drooped suddenly. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, the accounts of this theater are really a bit complicated. I haven't sorted it out completely yet. Give me another five days and I will definitely sort it out!"

Cui Shici glared at Ci Aiyan, and said angrily, "You better pay more attention to me. If you are stupid, just work harder. It takes you five days to sort out such a small amount of accounts, but I can figure it out in half a day..."

Upon hearing this, Ci Aiyan scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a forced smile, "Master, I'm just an ordinary person. How can I compare with a business genius like you? You could use an abacus at the age of three, earned ten thousand taels at the age of six, dared to explore new markets in other places at the age of ten, and took the lead among all the children in the Cui family at the age of fifteen..."

Cui Shici listened for a while, then immediately interrupted Ci Aiyan and said sternly, "That's enough. Stop flattering me and go back to check the account books!"

Ci Ai Yan didn't dare to say anything else. He just smiled and followed Cui Shici away quickly!

After eating a string of candied haws, Wan Qingyan casually gave another string of candied haws to a cute child and pinched the child's face in return.

Wan Qingyan didn't expect that hawthorn had such a good appetite-stimulating effect. She now had a big appetite, so she found the nearest small restaurant and ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Before she had taken a few bites, she heard a few people at the next table chatting casually, "You might not know yet, but the Cui family's theater has been sold to a wealthy businessman from outside the city named Ci Aiyan. This person is no ordinary person, with an unfathomable background. All we know is that she is from outside the city, and she is extremely wealthy, and can compete with the Cui family..."
