Chapter 141
Gaoyang County, Fan Mansion

"Miss, the person you sent to Jiangnan has returned, do you want to ask questions now?"

Fan Xinlian put down the book in her hand, and said slowly: "Let him go to the flower hall, and don't let father know about this matter."

"Yes, ma'am."

Fan Xinlian's face was calm, but in her heart she was extremely excited.

Immediately, you will know what kind of person that Mrs. Chen is, and how she and Lu Daxiong became husband and wife. I hope she can catch her and let her fall into hell and never turn over!

At this time, Fan Xinlian had never realized that she had no enmity with Chen Xingyan, but she hated Chen Xingyan deeply in her heart, which was abnormal in the first place.

The one who was sent to the south of the Yangtze River was the son of the Fan family, which is absolutely believable.

And it was the person Fan Xinlian sent out immediately after meeting Lu Daxiong for the first time in the first month.

It's already March now, and it's not too late for people to come back.

"How's the investigation going?"

The little servant quickly knelt down and told all the news he inquired about.

He lowered his head, naturally he didn't notice the vicious and triumphant look in the young lady's eyes!

After Chen Xingyan sorted out all the account books, he thought about finding a reliable person to help, otherwise the family business would grow bigger and bigger, and it would be too tiring to rely on her alone.

Besides, her original intention was not to make the business bigger, she just wanted to make life easier for the whole family, who knew it would be like this today!
Chen Xingyan read it over and over, and there were only a few literate and honest people in the entire Lu family.

Now that Lu Xingwang is still working as a small inspector, it is naturally impossible to help her take care of these industries, so she has to look for it again.

Lu Sigou's brain slowed down, and he could not read more than a hundred characters, which obviously didn't work.

Lu Youcai's brains are clear, but this person doesn't know how to count, and it's obviously not enough to only read characters.

For the past few days, Chen Xingyan has been worrying about where to find a trustworthy person who can read and settle accounts.

"Miss, the mayor's wife is here to visit."

Chen Xingyan frowned. The mayor's wife is also well-educated, so why did she come here without sending a greeting card in advance?

Although she is the mayor's wife, the mayor is a low-ranking local official. According to the regulations, it is obvious that Lu Daxiong's status is higher, and the low-status can come to visit the high-status, so he can be so casual?Did the mayor's wife not understand, or did it on purpose?
"Please come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mrs. Wang didn't show up, she was staring at the workshop.

"I've heard of Mrs. Chen's name for a long time, but I've been busy all the time, and I haven't come to congratulate her in person, don't be surprised!"

Chen Xingyan smiled, "Madam Liu is polite, please sit down."

The Fan's words just now are really unpleasant, no matter the wording or tone, there is a bit of disdain, as if her own status is higher than others, which makes Chen Xingyan's impression of this person a little bit lower point.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my natal niece, her maiden name is Xinlian."

Fan Xinlian just nodded her head slightly as a gesture, without any intention of saluting.

Now Chen Xingyan firmly believed that the two of them came here on purpose to create trouble for her.

That being the case, there is no need for me to give them too much face.

After saying please sit down, he only said that he still had some things to deal with, and asked them to wait for a while.

Fan didn't think much about it, knowing that there is a workshop next to Lu's house, and it is understandable that Mrs. Chen is busy with merchants now.

Unexpectedly, the two of them waited for nearly an hour.

"Auntie, this lady is so arrogant! She made us wait here for so long!"

"Don't worry, the more she is like this, the more confident we will be in a while. How can a rude woman who doesn't even know how to treat guests be worthy of inspector Lu!"

Fan Xinlian thought so too, and immediately laughed.

Chen Xingyan did have something to deal with, but it was true that he wanted to take care of them.

When he came back, the smile on Chen Xingyan's face became even colder.

"I'm really sorry. The matter at hand just now is indeed too important. Those embroideries are all going to be sent to the nobles in Fucheng. It is inevitable that they checked carefully. Please don't blame Mrs. Liu."

Fan's face froze for a moment, hearing her mentioning the nobles in Fucheng, it was inevitable that she had to think more carefully.

"Miss Chen, you are being polite. We are the ones who disturbed you because of our sudden visit. I heard that when this Lu's house was built, Mrs. Chen also made suggestions, so the built house has a bit of Jiangnan style. I wonder if you can show us?"

Qi on the side frowned, what happened to Mrs. Liu?

Huihui had to bring a few thorns with him when he opened his mouth. Did he come here on purpose to find fault?

Everyone knows that when the new house was first built, the young lady and the uncle had not yet married, but now she said this on purpose, is she trying to remind our young lady that she had misbehavior before marriage?
This is really annoying.

Chen Xingyan smiled slightly: "It's just an ordinary country house, how can it compare to Mrs. Liu's residence in the town? I heard that Fan Ju's house is even more magnificent and has many servants. My small courtyard is really rare. Hall of Elegance."

Fan's heart was blocked, and she always felt that there was something in Chen Xing's words, but it was difficult to say clearly.

Fan Xinlian said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Chen was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is also from a scholarly family. This is similar to our Fan family. Today, Mrs. Chen has an extraordinary bearing, but next year she is only one year older than me, but she looks very imposing."

Chen Xingyan narrowed his eyes and looked over: "This Miss Fan is quite interesting. Is this the first time I've met you? How did Miss Fan know my age?"

Fan Xinlian's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect to be quick-spoken for a moment, but she forgot about it.

"Maybe I overheard a member of the Lu clan mentioning it, but I can't remember it for a while."

"Among the members of the Lu clan, there are only a handful of people who know my age. I don't know who Miss Fan is in contact with?"

This time, Fan Xinlian was speechless.

No matter how scheming she is, she is still just a teenage girl. Whether it is her perception of external dangers or her perception of people's emotions, she is not a little bit worse.

Seeing this, Fan had no choice but to interrupt with a smile: "It's just a casual mention. Mrs. Chen, I heard that you still have autumn pear paste and pear paste candy here. I came here rashly this time. , I also thought that I could buy some back by the way.”

Chen Xingyan has long seen that the purpose of these two people's trip is not simple, so let's fulfill their wish first and see what they want.

"Calamus, take this lady to the exhibition hall in front. If you like it, you can wrap it up for her."
