When he thought that from now on, he and Shan Ying would be able to live a comfortable life without having to worry about food, drink, and entertainment, Jiang Fugui couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little more.

However, before Jiang Fugui could walk back to Yaowan Restaurant, he was blocked at the door by Shan Ying, who had returned from Qingzhou Inn after failing to find Mu Qingzhou.

"Miss, how did you get out? Didn't anyone recognize you?"

Shan Ying took Jiang Fugui's hand, looked around, and repeatedly confirmed that the veil was still intact on her young lady's face. Only then did she feel a little relieved, but she couldn't help muttering.

"Of course not. The veil is still on." Jiang Fugui said with a smile, then raised his hand and handed Shan Ying a hundred copper coins, pointing to the west side of the restaurant, "Go and settle the bill first, and we can talk about the rest while we walk."

Seeing this, Shan Ying nodded and quickly took a few steps to find the restaurant owner to settle the bill.

After a while, Shan Ying returned to Jiang Fugui with the remaining 32 copper coins and the hairpin she had temporarily pledged. As she handed them back, she asked in confusion, "Miss, where did you get so many copper coins? I remember when we left, we only took a dozen copper coins with us."

Jiang Fugui didn't answer, but just said two words lightly: "Secret."

Shan Ying was puzzled and just as she was about to ask more, Jiang Fugui changed the subject: "What did Mu Qingzhou say?"

"Oh, don't mention it. After expressing my gratitude, I was asked to leave, so I didn't ask anything."

Shan Ying sighed, his eyes full of disgust. He felt that he had made this trip in vain and it was a thankless task.

Jiang Fugui's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Yeah."

She had already anticipated that this matter would not go smoothly. After all, such obscure matters should not be publicized, let alone told to outsiders.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Fugui instructed Shan Ying, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, think of some way to go to the Qingzhou Inn to find Mu Qingzhou again. If you can get something out of him, that would be great."

Shan Ying was so angry with Mu Qingzhou that she forgot to ask about the copper coins. "Why would we go again if they don't want us?"

"I have my own intentions. Just go ahead. Don't ask any more questions, and don't make any noise."

Jiang Fugui didn't plan to explain much to Shan Ying. If this matter finally succeeded, it wouldn't be too late to tell her the reason.

For now, the fewer people know about it, the better.

It was already afternoon when we returned. The road was smoother and the journey was shorter than going there.

Jiang Fugui looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. It was really hot.

When they were almost at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, a person suddenly flashed in Jiang Fugui's mind. She narrowed her eyes and asked Shan Ying beside her, "Shan Ying, do you still remember Aunt Cheng Lin?"

"Madam Cheng Lin? Who... is she?" Shan Ying was asked out of the blue, and her mind didn't have time to think about it. "Is there... this person in our mansion?"

Jiang Fugui gradually lowered her head in thought, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but the light in her eyes dimmed: There is no such person... in the mansion?

Seeing that she could not help Jiang Fugui, Shan Ying folded her hands and smiled foolishly in embarrassment and helplessness.

Jiang Fugui then asked Shan Ying, half true and half false, to reaffirm: "Is there really no such person in the mansion? Don't you forget about him, or have you forgotten him?"

"How is that possible! My memory is excellent!"
