After the Republic of China

Chapter 1059 Attitude
Under the wall lamp, Shao Yunshi lowered her eyebrows and looked at the man with concern.

Seen from a distance, she is a sight to behold alone.

Seeing her like this, Luo Congbai couldn't help himself. He reached out and rubbed the little woman's hair. He responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay, you should also take a rest quickly."

Shao Yunshi nodded and watched them leave.

Xiaodong, who was on guard, saw that everyone had left but his senior sister was still standing there, so he hurried forward and urged her to rest.

Shao Yunshi didn't insist, "You should also go back to your room."

Xiaodong still wanted to know the outcome of the matter, so he dragged his hands to support Shao Yunshi, "Senior Sister, how did the discussion go?"

Shao Yunshi glared at her and said, "If you have anything to say, can't you say it tomorrow?"

Xiaodong drooled, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to sleep."

Now that Luo Congbai had taken over the matter, Shao Yunshi felt relieved and was in the mood to talk.

She glanced at Xiaodong's face and said happily, "It seems I will keep you awake today."

When Xiaodong heard this, he got anxious and immediately took out the money without asking for any money.

Shao Yunshi was just joking, but seeing that she took it seriously, she stopped joking and simply recounted the incident.

Xiaodong was startled when he heard it.

However, she knew it was getting late and she didn't want to wake others, so she covered her mouth and didn't make any sound.

She understood the situation, so Shao Yunshi was in a better mood to talk.

The two of them whispered as they walked, adding a touch of warmth to this cold winter night.

That night, Shao Yunshi slept soundly until dawn, because she never worried about Shao Xiuxue.

The next day, early in the morning.

Mr. Shao and Aunt Shao, who had not slept well, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shao Yunshi's radiant face.

They were really worried that the child would be sad, but fortunately, the child didn't take those bad things to heart.

Shao Yunshi got up earlier than the old man and the others, and had already gone to the kitchen to arrange everything.

When she saw her grandfather and aunt, she hurriedly asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Because it was cold, everyone ate in their own rooms.

Mr. Shao had no appetite when he got up early. It was because his daughter was worried about him that she brought a lunch box and ate it with him that he reluctantly ate something.

Shao Lanxiang said directly: "Your grandfather was mad at the second girl. He ate too much, but not enough."

Shao Yunshi had been prepared for them to do this, so she got up early and asked Chef Zhang to prepare some light and nourishing side dishes.

Mr. Shao thought the food was quite good. "Don't listen to your aunt. I drank the porridge and ate some milk-flavored steamed buns."

"That's pitifully little. Besides, you didn't sleep well yesterday, and you look very tired." Shao Lanxiang felt sorry for her father and looked at her niece, "Aunt Man, please check his pulse later."

When Mr. Shao heard about taking the pulse, he immediately objected, "I'm in good health, why do you want to take my pulse? Auntie, don't listen to what your aunt says."

Shao Yunshi smiled and held Grandpa's hand, "It's okay, I'll take a look, it's better if you are not sick."

The old man was being held by his granddaughter's soft hands. He couldn't struggle, and he didn't object. "Okay, just watch it. It saves your aunt from nagging."

Shao Lanxiang felt helpless when she saw her father being so childish, but her mood improved a lot.

There was indeed nothing wrong with the old man's health, he was just a little weak, probably because he didn't sleep well yesterday.

Shao Yunshi told the truth, "My body is fine, but I'm old, so I can't be sad. Don't do this again in the future."

Shao Lanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

Old Master Shao was pleased with himself, "I told you it was alright, but you didn't believe me." Shao Yunshi laughed twice, "I'll make some medicinal food for Grandpa later to replenish his body and calm his mind."

Shao Lanxiang has also been suffering from insomnia recently. She hurriedly said, "Then give me some. Your cousin has kept me awake."

"Okay, I'll make it clean and fresh so that aunt won't be unable to eat it." Shao Yunshi leaned close to Shao Lanxiang affectionately.

Mr. Shao was about to oppose taking tonics, but when he heard his daughter taking them too, he couldn't argue with her.

Shao Lanxiang glanced at her father with a little pride, and also praised her eldest niece for being smart and quick in responding to questions.

She touched her niece's head lovingly and sighed, "The child is so good, but her mother can't see it and her brother is such a fool."

Shao Yunshi saw the sourness on her face. Was she feeling sorry for herself?
So, she interrupted and asked, "Aunt, how are you going to discipline Xiuxue?"

Shao Lanxiang was stunned by her question and laughed, "How do you know that I want to discipline her?"

Shao Yunshi chuckled, "If it weren't for the purpose of disciplining her, aunt could have packed her up and sent her back to Peking."

Shao Lanxiang gave her niece a helpless look and said, "You are so clever, you really guessed it. However, there is one thing you didn't guess."

"What?" Shao Yunshi was a little confused.

Mr. Shao is an experienced man, he keeps silent.

Seeing that her grandfather didn't respond, Shao Yunshi had no choice but to ask her aunt for advice.

Shao Lanxiang sighed, "Isn't it that Bai Da is involved with the Japanese? Xiuxue was brought here by him. I'm afraid this brainless child will bring disaster to the family."

Old Master Shao listened to this with a frown on his face, "This girl has to be disciplined to death."

Shao Lanxiang glanced at her father who was also worried and nodded, "Yes, not only do we need to discipline him, but we also need to keep him under close watch."

"Just keep watching like this?" Shao Yunshi frowned.

"Let's talk about it after the matter of Bai Da is concluded." Shao Lanxiang said.

"Have you heard anything?" Shao Yunshi asked curiously.

Shao Lanxiang nodded, "Yes, I heard that the Japanese sent people to Shanghai to look for the tungsten ore ship that disappeared earlier."

"Auntie, this is true faith."

"Who told you that?" Mr. Shao frowned.

Shao Lanxiang explained, "I went out the other day and ran into Yu Qian. He is now in charge of the secret department in Shanghai and has some inside information."

"Yu Qian?" Mr. Shao thought for a moment, "Is he the eldest son of Yu Shanchuan's family? Can we trust his words?"

Shao Lanxiang knew that the Yu family was not doing things in an honest way, and that his family was also involved in the rumor that their family had treasure.

However, she knew that Yu Qian was different from his father.

On the one hand, the other person had helped our family before, so some of his words, which did not involve interests, should be trustworthy.

However, in the early years, the Shao family’s old house in Yangzhou suffered from spying and searches. No one in the Shao family would forget such humiliation.

Some people and some things will be engraved in people's hearts for the rest of their lives.

However, although Yu Qian and Yu Shanchuan are father and son, they behave differently.

Besides, they mean well.

Then, Shao Lanxiang affirmed: "Yu Qian has no need to lie about this matter. Zhe Kai also recognizes his character."

When he heard that his son-in-law was trustworthy, Mr. Shao felt relieved even though he disliked the surname Yu.

Shao Yunshi also believed Yu Qian's words. After all, this matter was probably not a secret within a small circle.

Old housekeeper Zhang frowned and said, "So, it is indeed suspicious that Bai Da came to Shanghai. In previous years, his business was all in the north."
