Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 87 The bookstore was closed and Boss Zhen disappeared

Nanchun looked at the ninety-ninth letter from home over and over again.

Yunjin, I saw the fairy palace.

I have been to Xunlongling many times, but this is the first time I have seen the legendary fairy palace.

There was a deep crack on the way there, like a crack cut by a knife or an axe.

There is an ancient suspension bridge on it.

A rope as thick as a wrist stretched from one end to the other.

The wooden bridge surface sways slightly and makes a creaking sound when you walk on it.

It was pitch black under the bridge, and the sound of gurgling water could be faintly heard.

The wind blew, and I held the rope tightly, feeling the tingling pain of fine needles in the palms of my hands.

Qinghua's eyes sparkled.

He said, look!

So I looked up.

The palace stands tall and majestic, magnificent and splendid. Every five steps there is a building, and every ten steps there is a pavilion. It is magnificent and ingenious.

It is like being in the clouds on the top of a mountain, and it looks like a fairy palace.

The father who led the way prostrated himself and knelt down, muttering something to himself.

In just a moment, it disappeared.

I even suspected that it was my hallucination.

Whether true or not.

I have no regrets if I can see the beauty of the fairy palace in my lifetime.

Hope all is well.

Nanchun frowned slightly. This letter from home seemed a little strange.

I can’t put my finger on what’s weird about it.

He turned to the next page.

The 100th letter home was blank.

"Not printed well?" Nanchun was puzzled.

There are no books to read.

When leaving the old house that day, Nanchun deliberately did not take the books and toys with him.

As if to draw a clear line between himself and Bai Xun, he deliberately did not take away the things he bought for him. Or as if he was afraid that seeing the things would remind him of Bai Xun's kindness to him.

The next morning, Niu Er and Heizi went to the county town to buy things.

Nanchun took Jindou with him.

Jindou kept talking along the way, and found everything he saw new and interesting.

"Haven't you been serving in the home of Mr. Li, the rich man in the county town? Why do you look like you've never been to the city?" Nanchun joked.

"Although I live in the county town, I don't have much chance to go out for a stroll. I have a lot of work to do every day. The last time I went out for a stroll was during the Chinese New Year." Jindou replied.

"Let's have a good stroll this time."

"Yeah!" Jindou smiled with his eyes curved.

"Second Young Madam, where do you want to go first?" Niu Er drove the carriage.

"Let's go to the bookstore on East Third Street first. I'm going to buy some books." Nanchun said.

"okay!"

"I'll buy you a few books too, so you can learn to read well." Nanchun said to Jindou.

"Yeah!" Jindou smiled brightly.

When the carriage arrived at the bookstore, Nanchun was stunned.

The bookstore was in a state of disrepair, the glass on the windows and doors was smashed to pieces, the inside was a mess, and the door was sealed.

"How is this going?"

Jindou opened his mouth wide: "Did they get robbed?"

Nanchun walked closer and looked at the seal. It was from the government.

Seeing the passers-by looking flustered and walking in a hurry, Nanchun did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly got on the carriage.

"Let's go to Bai's porcelain shop."

On the way, Nanchun frowned and felt uneasy.

Why did the government close down Boss Zhen’s bookstore?

Judging from the mess inside and out, something big must have happened.

When they arrived at the door of the porcelain shop, Dali saw that it was Nanchun and hurriedly came forward with a smile.

"Second Young Madam, you're here."

"Well, come in, I have something to ask you." Nanchun looked solemn.

When they reached the inner room, Nanchun whispered, "Do you know what happened to Mr. Zhen's bookstore down the street? I just went there to buy some books, and I saw it had been smashed up and sealed with official seals."

After hearing this, Dali glanced nervously outside and said in a low voice, "I heard that Boss Zhen committed a crime in Huicheng before, and both the underworld and the corrupt officials are looking for him. They even issued an arrest warrant. They're looking for not only the man, but also the demon book."

"Demon book?" Nanchun was surprised.

Dali scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what it means, but they're looking for a book. They say the book promotes supernatural powers and misleads the public. They've even spread the word that whoever can find Boss Zhen or the book will be rewarded with ten large yellow croakers!"

The entire county is in a state of panic right now. Some are trying every possible way to earn tips, while others, who previously had dealings with Boss Zhen, are afraid of being visited. "Second Young Madam, please don't go there again, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

Nanchun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The matter is so serious.

Demonic Book...

Boss Zhen looks gentle and polite, and doesn't look like the kind of person who would create a demon book.

This matter will definitely not be that simple.

"How did Boss Zhen run away?" Nan Chun asked.

"It's said that he received the news in advance and fled overnight. The people from Huicheng came to find nothing and were so angry that they smashed the bookstore."

"Okay, I understand." Nanchun frowned slightly.

Coming out from the inner room, Nanchun handed Jindou a few dollars.

"You can go shopping with Niu Er and Hei Zi."

"Second Young Madam, you're not going shopping anymore?" Jindou asked in surprise.

"Well, I am now a person at the center of public opinion in He'an County. If I go out, I will definitely attract onlookers. The county is not peaceful now. You should go and come back quickly and don't cause trouble." Nanchun instructed.

"Yes, Second Young Madam."

When Manager Qian came back, Nanchun was looking at the samples on the shelf.

"The Second Young Madam is here."

"Manager Qian, long time no see." Nanchun said with a smile.

"I heard that the Second Young Madam is recuperating in the other courtyard. Is she feeling better now?"

"Well, I'm fine now. I felt really bored at home, so I came to the county town for a walk. Shopkeeper Qian, have you sold that bowl?" Nanchun asked.

"Well, it was bought by a customer from Yangcheng. I heard he was from the Sheng family." said Manager Qian.

Yangcheng Sheng Family...

"The Sheng family is also interested in these things?" Nanchun asked casually.

Shopkeeper Qian said, "Actually, we only have dealings with Fourth Master Sheng in the porcelain business. When we ship goods to Yangcheng, we usually go through Fourth Master Sheng's route."

"Oh, I heard Bai Xun mention this Fourth Master Sheng. He is said to be a maverick." Nan Chun said.

Shopkeeper Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Indeed, although he was born into a wealthy family and had studied abroad for several years, he was not at all arrogant or noble. I had the honor of meeting him once, and at that time I thought he was a bandit leader."

"The bandit leader?"

"Well, that Fourth Master Sheng was a big, burly man with a full beard, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes. He wore an old felt hat on his head, a bearskin coat on his body, and a gun on his waist."

Seeing Nanchun looking at him in surprise, Shopkeeper Qian smiled and continued, "Isn't he completely different from the Fourth Master Sheng I imagined? I also thought he would be like the first and second masters of the Sheng family, the kind of gentle and elegant nobleman. Who knew he would be so rough and unruly!

At that time, bandits often appeared on that road, and his appearance with his men scared me into a cold sweat. After explaining it clearly, I learned that he had received a message that bandits were planning to rob the road, so he personally brought his men to escort them.

"No wonder he was able to break through the checkpoints and seize so many transportation routes in just a few years." Nan Chun said.

"Yes, everyone says it's because he has the Sheng family's support. But if you know more about it, you'll know that Fourth Master Sheng risked his life for all of this."
