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

"Injured by the fall?" Xin You looked into Duan Yunlang's eyes, "Injured by the fall?"

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

"Well..." 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 harm 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 said it, just listen to it, Ayou."

"it is good."

"I suspect it's Zhang Xu's mastermind..." Duan Yunlang said about the day when Zhang Xu stopped him to ask Xin You, "A few days ago during the holiday, I came back from the street and took a shortcut through an alley and was tricked. I got put in a sack and got a beating. Although I didn’t see the person who did it, I don’t think there was anyone else except 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." Xin You'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.

Duan Yunlang was a little frustrated when he thought of himself like this.

"Second brother, take good care of yourself. I'll have someone send you 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.

"Master Duan, please wait. I'm going back."

Duan Shaoqing didn't know what to say for a moment, so he walked out with Xin You in a muffled voice until they reached 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, and 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 fangs and claws, the uncle will be murderous.

Duan Shaoqing's eyes flashed with astonishment and horror.

Did this girl notice 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 himself in embarrassment: "It's not about the heart but the deeds..."

"Indeed, the deeds do not matter the heart."

Duan Shaoqing wanted to kill her thousands of 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.

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the houses on both sides of the road, and the aroma of rice drifts 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 to do if you find out your boss is coming!

Guessing 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.

As he shouted, all the guests in the lobby who had not noticed it 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, are you still in charge of 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.

Prodigal son, don't lead your boss into trouble!

"Well, isn't "Journey to the West" finished yet?"

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

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

I especially like to read stories that don’t have an ending – is this still 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, which can be given as a gift book for everyone to appreciate when the sixth volume of "Journey to the West" is released."

Shen Ning was very interested: "What book?"

"Some claims about my late mother."

The untold 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 burned brightly: "Then I must read it."

"The number of books given away is limited."

"I'm willing to spend the money."

Who doesn’t like to read gossip?

"Master Shen is away from home. I will leave a copy for you once the book is printed."

Shen Ning was greatly moved.

He and Miss Xin deserve to have a solid friendship worth ten thousand taels of kickback!

"Miss Xin, are you free?"

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Ning shook the folding fan: "If Miss Xin is free, I will invite you to have dinner at Fengwei Building."

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

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

"Then we'll have another day. It's the time to eat crabs, and Fengweilou's crab roe buns are a must-have."

Gudu—The sound of swallowing was heard in the lobby, and it came 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 asked for the 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 just walked into the bookstore and heard these words.

He Yushi 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, and they felt quite relaxed when they saw each other.

Xin You said what she 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 shop."

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 at the back, Mr. He." Xin You said softly.

After Xin You left, the people in the lobby gradually dispersed as there was nothing new to see, and in the end only He Qingxiao and He Yushi were left.
