After the Republic of China

Chapter 13

In troubled times, where can there be a safe place?

Sioux City is closer to Shanghai than Yangcheng, maybe it will be even more chaotic in Sioux City at this time.

Ximei misses Su Cheng just because she wants to rely on them. After all, Su Cheng cares about their parents who love them.

As for whether the lock was opened during the day or at night, it is already a mystery.

Shao Yunshi wasn't sure, so she said to the two girls: "Let's wait until Uncle Bu Yi comes back, and then we'll make a fuss. As for Feihong and Luo Cheng, we'll go to the shop to help."

"Isn't that bad?" Xiaodong frowned.

Ximei disagreed, "Nothing is more important than Miss's safety these days."

Shao Yunshi's footsteps remained unchanged, "I know what you are worried about, that's why we can't call Feihong and Luo Cheng back."

Ximei didn't understand.

Xiaodong understood, "Senior sister is afraid that someone with a heart will find out the clues, and we will be more dangerous."

"What clues did you find?" Ximei was very confused.

Xiaodong 'tsked' her, "It's not because I'm afraid Brother Feihong and the others will come back and let people behind the scenes know that we found out about the lock."

"Ah, that's really true." Ximei was startled, and hurriedly glanced behind her, only to feel that the flowers and trees she skipped were a little suspicious.

Seeing her bear look, Xiaodong sneered twice.

Since Ximei had no intention of saying goodbye to her, she moved a little faster.

After walking all the way and returning to the house, the three of them were shocked by the warm heat and shivered together.

Ximei no longer cared about being afraid, and hurriedly served the young lady on the bed.

Shao Yunshi was also busy telling the two of them to get on the couch together to keep warm.

Far away in a certain room of the Yangcheng Inn.

The instigator of unlocking the lock, Qian Mou, was staring at his subordinates with a gloomy face.The room, which was already not very hot, seemed to be a little colder.

The thin man shook his teeth, he didn't dare to look at the boss, and he didn't dare to say nothing, "Boss, I, I shouldn't have left any trace."

"There are no traces left yet. Did you lock the lock?" Qian said viciously.

The thin man shook his head, "I didn't have time to lock it, but I didn't ask the follower to find any traces."

"It's good if you don't find out." Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "Now it seems that the Shao family really has a big problem."

Speaking of this, the thin man regained his energy, "No, I saw more than one group of people staring at the Shao family."

Qian tapped the handle of the chair, "It seems that we have to speed up the progress."

The thin man's eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously: "Boss, I wonder if Mrs. Bai has made any progress?"

"Don't worry about this." Qian glanced at his subordinates and said calmly.

The thin man flinched, "I'm just worried for the boss." After speaking, he said strangely again: "Boss, you see that the lock is not locked, why don't you lock it?"

Qian seemed to be looking at an idiot, "It's been a while since I went to see you open the lock? Isn't it superfluous for me to lock it? It's not necessary for others to find out the clues and spoil our big business."

Being scolded, the thin man sneered, "The boss is still wise, I'm just a pig brain."

Qian was noncommittal, "Over there in Huaiyuan, what did you find out?"

The thin man said with a mischievous smile, "There is probably nothing wrong with Huaiyuan, just a young lady and two girls, plus the old mother's family."

Qian snorted coldly, "It seems that you didn't go to Huaiyuan some time ago."

"Uh..." the skinny guy was sweating. He spent a lot of time in the Hualou in Yangcheng a while ago, and the unique flavor of southern women made him linger on.

However, he could be regarded as an organic change, immediately lowered his head, and replied: "Go, go. The guards of the Shao family patrolled closely, and I didn't dare to enter the inner courtyard."

Qian snorted coldly, and didn't pursue further, "Okay, the guards of Huaiyuan earlier are not here these days, you should take this opportunity to find out quickly."

Qian seems to be the person who showed up in the inner courtyard of Huaiyuan after Bai Erniang left that day.

The thin man's heart trembled, knowing that the boss must have gone there in person, he quickly became honest, "Yes, boss, I will go there while it is dark."

Qian Mou had a gloomy face, "The guards of the Shao family are not bad at work, so be careful."

The thin man turned his face back and said: "I know, I will look into the gap and walk into Huaiyuan."

Qian said 'hmm', "I'm going to go in a few days, the original guards of Huaiyuan may not be here in a few days."

This made the skinny man look happy, and he immediately flattered and said: "Boss, since those scumbags are not around, should we take a look at it?"

Qian Mou's eyes shrank, "Nonsense, you can't make extra troubles at this time. Hurry up and put away those unnecessary crooked thoughts. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being rude."

The thin man knew that they came here only for money, and even though he regretted the beauty of the young lady of the Shao family, he could only accept it.

Shao Yunshi's master and servants thought Huaiyuan was fine, but they never expected that others would look at her house, and even had dirty thoughts.

This is really wild and chaotic, the order is chaotic, and people's hearts are not old.

One day, the sun is warm and sunny.

Shao Yunshi was sitting by the window, holding the report of the day, with a heavy expression on her face.

Ximei brought tea, and seeing this, she asked in confusion, "What's the matter, today's newspaper is not good?"

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "The war is about to break out, and this battle is probably inevitable."

"It's so serious?!" Xi Mei put down the tray, rushed to the young lady's side, and looked at the newspaper.

Shao Yunshi simply handed the newspaper to her.

Ximei subconsciously accepted the newspaper, only to realize that she had done something stupid, "I can't read a few words, so please tell me, Miss."

Xiaodong knew the outside world very well, so he directly took over the conversation, "I heard that the confrontation with the Japanese soldiers in Shanghai was very tense, and martial law was imposed on all streets and ports."

"Martial law? I don't know what happened to Uncle Bu Yi?" Xi Mei worried.

"It's a shame that Uncle Bu went there early, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the concession." Xiaodong frowned, "However, it may be difficult to get out."

"The Japanese soldiers and the Shanghai garrison are at war. It's hard to say this battle." Shao Yunshi asserted.

Xi Mei was taken aback by these words, "Ah! It's so serious, the old lady is still there."

The old lady in her mouth refers to the old aunt of the Yan family.

Ximei's mother is Mrs. Yan's dowry girl, and Ximei is actually Yan's family.

"What!" Shocked, Shao Yunshi stood up.

Xiaodong also grabbed Ximei, "Speak clearly."

Ximei slipped her mouth when she said that, she hung her head, not knowing what to do.

Shao Yunshi calmed down, frowned and looked at Ximei, "Didn't my aunt promise me not to go to Shanghai this year? What's going on?"

In the Wusong area of ​​Shanghai, the Japanese Chen Bing, the situation suddenly became tense.

It was because of this that Shao Yunshi returned to Yangcheng early, otherwise, she would still be sewing with her old aunt in Sucheng at this time.

Now, knowing that my aunt is not in Sucheng, my heart is burning with fire.

Her tone was harsh, and Ximei turned her back in fear and hid aside.

When she was like this, Shao Yunshi laughed angrily.
