When Duan Yunlang heard Xin You's tone, he didn't dare to speak harshly: "I fell down, so I didn't tell others that I was sick because I was afraid of being laughed at by my classmates."

"Injured by a fall?" Xin You looked into Duan Yunlang's eyes, "Did you fall by yourself?"

If this were the case, Meng Fei probably wouldn't mention it to her specifically.

 “Hmm…” Duan Yunlang’s eyes flickered and he wanted to look away.

Xin You frowned: "In my impression, the second brother is not the kind of person who would humiliate himself in order to protect evil people."

"Of course I'm not—" Duan Yunlang met the girl's calm eyes and suddenly felt that he was a bit silly for hiding the inside story.

 He was silent for a while and scratched his head: "I told you, Ayou, just listen."

"good."

"I suspect it's Zhang Xu's mastermind..." Duan Yunlang said about the day Zhang Xu stopped him to ask Xin You, "A few days ago during the holiday, I was on the street and took a shortcut through an alley when I was hit by someone. The sack got a beating. Although I didn’t see the person who did it, I don’t think there was anyone else besides Zhang Xu.”

 “So the second brother has no evidence.”

 Duan Yunlang was a little embarrassed: "Ah... I mainly rely on intuition."

Xin You smiled: “It’s really hard to talk about it without evidence.”

“Yes, we can only accept bad luck.” Xinyou’s reaction made Duan Yunlang feel relieved.

 He was really afraid that Ayou would go find Zhang Xu.

 In fact, even if there is real evidence, nothing will happen to him.

 Thinking of himself like this, Duan Yunlang was a little frustrated.

“Second brother, take good care of yourself. I’ll send someone two bottles of ointment for external application later.”

After saying goodbye to Duan Yunlang, Xin You walked out of the house.

“Have you finished chatting?” Duan Shaoqing came over.

 “Mr. Duan, I’ve been waiting for a long time. I’m going back.”

Duan Shaoqing didn't know what to say for a moment, so he walked out with Xinyou in a low voice, until they arrived at the corner door. His lips moved: "I never thought anything happened to Qingqing, she is my niece -"

Xin You interrupted Duan Shaoqing's words lightly: "What happens after I come?"

 The real Kou Qingqing is like a docile and harmless fat sheep. The old lady and Duan Shaoqing can still tolerate her living quietly. But as a grandmother and a biological uncle, you just let her live, so you have to be grateful?

Facts have also proved that when the niece has sharp teeth and claws, the uncle will be murderous.

Duan Shaoqing's eyes flashed with astonishment and horror.

This girl noticed that he had murderous intentions?

Under the gaze of those calm eyes as clear as glass, all dirty thoughts seemed to be invisible. Duan Shaoqing defended in embarrassment: "It is not about the heart..."

“Indeed, the deeds do not matter the heart.”

 It was Duan Shaoqing who wanted to kill her a thousand times, but she was silently preparing to fight back fiercely. But the other party still refused to take action, so he had to let him go.

The girl raised her lips and smiled meaningfully: "So Master Duan can still talk to me."

　Duan Shaoqing shuddered suddenly.

Xin You strode past Duan Shaoqing and got into the carriage.

The sun is about to set, smoke rises from the houses on both sides of the road, and the smell of rice floats far away in the wind.

When Xin You walked into Qingsong Bookstore, Liu Zhou's first reaction was to quickly look at the guests in the lobby and whispered: "My boss, there are still many guests."

 What should I do if I find my boss is coming?

 Having guessed what the boy was worried about, Xin You laughed and said, "It's okay, your boss is not afraid of being seen."

 “Miss Kou!” A surprised shout rang out, and Shen Ning walked in quickly.

With his shout, the guests in the lobby who had not paid attention all looked over.

 Deep in the bookshelf, He Qingxiao silently put down the travel notes. Liu Zhou's face fell, and he thought that the shopkeeper was right, the former young master's family could only cause trouble.

Shen Ning paid no attention to anyone else and looked at Xin You with curiosity: "Did I call you wrong? I should call you -"

 “Just call me Miss Xin.”

“Miss Xin, do you still manage the bookstore?”

Didn’t you say that this person is a wealthy person and will do business in the future?

Shopkeeper Hu silently glanced at him.

  Don't bring down your boss as a prodigal!

“Well, “Journey to the West” hasn’t been released yet.”

 When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but nod.

Well, Miss Xin is the one who wrote the story of Mr. Songling. If the bookstore is left alone, won’t they never see the end of "Journey to the West"?

The stories I particularly like to read have no endings—does it still make people alive?

Shen Ning also looked frightened: "Yes, Qingsong Bookstore cannot live without Miss Xin. Then when "Journey to the West" is finished, will Miss Xin write new stories?"

"Yes." Xin You looked at the handsome young man and was very pleased. "I came here to tell the shopkeeper that I have recently conceived a book. I can wait for the sixth volume of "Journey to the West" to be released as a gift book for everyone to appreciate."

Shen Ning was very interested: "What book?"

 “Some claims about my late mother.”

 The unknown story of the founding queen? What is the life of the Mother of a Nation among the people? The mysterious disappearance of Queen Xin?

Shen Ning’s Bagua fire was burning brightly: “Then I will definitely read it.”

 “The number of donated books is limited.”

 “I’m willing to spend money.”

Who doesn’t like to read gossip?

“Young Master Shen is away from home. I will leave a copy for you when the book is printed.”

  Shen Ning was greatly moved.

 He and Miss Xin deserve to have a solid friendship worth 10,000 taels of kickback!

 “Miss Xin, are you free?”

 “Is there something wrong, Mr. Shen?”

Shen Ning shook the folding fan and said, "If Miss Xin is free, I'll invite you to Fengweilou for dinner."

Worried about being misunderstood, he pointed at shopkeeper Hu and said, "Shopkeepers, come together."

"Master Shen is kind enough to accept this. I have to discuss some matters with the shopkeeper today."

 “Then let’s make another day. It’s the time to eat crabs, and Fengweilou’s crab roe buns are a must.”

　　　　　 The sound of swallowing could be heard in the lobby, coming from different directions.

He Qingxiao frowned when she heard that Shen Ning was going to invite Xin You to dinner. When she heard that she was going to Fengwei Restaurant, her eyebrows furrowed even more.

 When Shen Ning said that he would like to eat crab roe buns from Fengweilou, He Qingxiao's whole body was exuding a black aura that was almost visible to the naked eye.

It’s not that he’s jealous, it’s just that he really doesn’t understand why a young man who has nothing to do all day treats Fengweilou’s crab roe buns so lightly.

 The same mood as He Qingxiao was He Yushi who had just walked into the bookstore and heard these words.

Yushi He is actually very busy, and spends all his rare free time at Qingsong Bookstore. Of course, I couldn't afford books. Every time I showed my face in front of Miss Zhu, I walked to the bookshelf in a familiar way.

At this moment, two young men who were short of money met in the depths of the bookshelf. They looked at each other and felt relaxed.

Xin You said what he wanted to say in public, and then said to Shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, let's go to the back to discuss it, just to see the recent situation of the printing house."

After leaving the lobby, shopkeeper Hu whispered: "My boss, Mr. He is reading on the bookshelf."

“When there is no one else in the lobby, please come to the flower hall behind, Mr. He.” Xin You said softly.

The people in the lobby gradually dispersed after Xin You left. There was nothing new to see, and in the end only He Qingxiao and He Yushi were left.
