Chapter 2232 Much the same 22.0

"This should be considered as the second time that Second Grandpa saved her, right? Saving her life twice is really a great favor." Jin Miaomiao touched her chin, "Speaking of which, these two people are also predestined. Otherwise, as a local snake, it would be easy for the manager of the Yao family to find someone, and he would not be preempted by Second Grandpa's people."

"Indeed, this kind of fate is hard to come by." Merlin held her chin with a look of longing, "Although I shouldn't think so, I still envy it." Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she shrugged and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say wrong? This kind of chance encounter should be difficult for most people to encounter, right?"

"That's true." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "This is indeed a kind of luck." She chuckled and said, "After these two times, Miss Xiao should trust Second Grandpa more or less, right?"

"You mean, she will tell you her purpose after arriving at the inn?" Shen Cha shook her head gently, "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? It has come to this point. If we don't speak out, others will be implicated." Jin Miaomiao patted Shen Cha gently, "I guess the Yao family will be able to find the Eagle King's inn the next day."

"So what if they find it? What can they do?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows slightly. "Besides, Miss Xiao has already been taken to the inn, so why should we care about this moment? Besides, what she said in Hefeng Tower was not a lie. Apart from her own identity, she should not have concealed anything. If there is anything to hide, it is Second Grandpa who concealed it, isn't it?"

"Ah, that's right!" Jin Miaomiao patted her arm. "My brain went blank all of a sudden. Second Grandpa must have explained it to her and the two of them decided to form a partnership, right?"

"Don't worry about this. No matter how powerful Miss Xiao is, she has been frightened to some extent. The most important thing to do at this time is to drink a bowl of calming soup and then have a good sleep. Nothing else matters."

"Cha'er is right. If we are too impatient, it will be bad. It will easily make Miss Xiao, who has already let down her guard, wary of Second Grandpa again." Shen Haolin sighed, "If she knew at this time that Second Grandpa was not some young man who was out to play, but was here to investigate the salt administration, I'm afraid the trust she had just gained would be gone in an instant."

"Brother is right." Shen Cha patted Jin Miaomiao, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Things like luring someone into a trap need to be done step by step. If you are too impatient, it will easily go wrong."

Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha, then at Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing who were nodding in agreement, and clicked her tongue twice.

"You guys, your minds are full of twists and turns, not clear at all!"

"Hey, Sister Miaomiao, that's not right. It's not that you don't understand clearly, it's that you have courage and strategy. Only in this way can you win the battle, right? The victories of our boss, the Duke, the Marquis, and everyone else didn't come in vain. They were all tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations." Merlin came over and refilled everyone's cups of hot tea. "This is only the first day that the Second Master and Miss Xiao have known each other, and they're already living such a fulfilling life. If they get to know each other more deeply, no matter how strong Miss Xiao is, she may not be able to withstand it, right?"

"When you think about it, it does make sense. The first time they met, they fought, saved the beauty, and avoided revenge. It was really fulfilling and exciting." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "Let Miss Xiao take a break before facing a new wave of attacks, right?"

"What you said is all correct, but the shopkeeper has discussed with the second master in advance and temporarily let Miss Xiao live in the inn to protect her safety. As for the rest, it depends on how the situation develops. If those people from the Yao family can't find the person, they will probably not give up." Yan Bo looked at Qin Zheng, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Isn't it?" "Yeah!" Qin Zheng sighed, "The clan's influence in Jiangnan is far beyond your imagination. Even the people in the government office don't dare to interfere in the clan's affairs. Even the Jingwang Mansion, which was at its peak in Jiangnan back then, was somewhat afraid of the clan. You also know how the two brothers were framed, and anyone with a discerning eye can see how much the clan was involved."

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded. "That's true. They are not the only ones framed by the clan. Isn't it the same for Second Grandfather? We must be more vigilant about the clan. Senior Li has been in Jiangnan for many years, so he naturally understands what's going on here."

"Indeed." Yan Bo nodded. "The senior arranged a room for Miss Xiao and also prepared some soothing soup. However, the young lady might have been really surprised. Even with the soothing soup, she didn't sleep very well." He sighed and continued, "As a result, in the middle of the night, the two people who couldn't sleep met again in the lobby."

"As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world. Isn't this just a coincidence?"

"That's right. This is because the two people are destined to be together. If they are not destined to be together, they may not be able to see each other even if they live under the same roof." Yan Bo looked at Jin Miaomiao and sighed softly, "Why do you have such an expression? Don't you like to listen to this kind of thing the most? Don't you like to listen to books in the garden? Why can't you believe it when you hear a true story?"

"Listening to a book is listening to a book. Aren't they all made up? I know they are fake, so I just listen for fun. But..." Jin Miaomiao touched her chin and said, "I never thought that something like this would really happen. In the middle of the night, two people who saved each other's lives couldn't sleep and met in the lobby of the inn, sitting together and chatting. It's really hard to imagine."

"Sister Miaomiao, you have to think about it this way. If there is no life, how can there be stories in the storybook?" Merlin stretched and said, "But what can they talk about in the middle of the night? Why can't they fall asleep?"

"Listen to Miss Xiao talking about her troubles at home." Yan Bo sighed. "Second Master didn't tell me what they talked about in detail. According to him, it was someone else's family affair, and he was only responsible for listening, not for speaking."

"Whether we talk about it or not, who doesn't know about the Xiao family's affairs?" Shen Cha sighed softly and said, "It's just that we can't say it out loud."

"That's right." Yan Bo nodded, "But after this night chat, I feel that the relationship between the two has taken a step forward."

“How come you see?”

"Because early the next morning, Miss Xiao took the initiative to ask for Second Master's help."
