After the Republic of China

Chapter 920 Dangerous Diagram
Shao Mansion is open on all sides, and the wind blowing through the hall makes people feel very comfortable.

Ximei took the suitcase from Xiaocui, pulled her to sit down and let her get some fresh air.

Xiao Cui was not shy with her. She sat down and wiped her sweat, saying, "I just saw Xiao Dong. She showed me the way."

"Why didn't Xiaodong help you carry the box?" Shao Yunshi frowned.

Xiao Cui said hurriedly: "She went to the kitchen to bring me an ice drink."

"She still has some conscience." Ximei chuckled twice.

Ximei, Xiaodong and the others were familiar with Shao Lanxiang and her servant, and they could joke and make witty remarks to each other, and they could understand each other.

It was just right, the corridor was in the shade, there was wind, bells and flowers.

As the breeze rises, bells ring and the fragrance of flowers arrives.

In addition, the inexplicable jokes from her friends made Xiao Cui, who was in the middle of it, shake off the tiredness of the past few days and start to laugh along.

Shao Lanxiang had just hung up the phone in the house. When she heard the voice outside, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that her niece was worried about her and stayed to wait for her.

Her heart warmed, and she hurriedly shouted, "Come in."

When she shouted, everyone became worried and went in together.

When Shao Lanxiang saw Xiao Cui coming back, she hurriedly said, "I got the things back."

Xiao Cui nodded and pointed towards Ximei.

Ximei saw it and quickly put the suitcase in her hand on the coffee table.

Shao Lanxiang glanced at Ximei with satisfaction, then pointed at the suitcase and said, "Mangu, put these things away later."

Although her aunt didn't say why explicitly, Shao Yunshi knew that this must be something important, so she didn't ask and just nodded to show that she understood.

Shao Lanxiang liked her niece's transparency and was very satisfied. "You can open this box and see what's in it. There's something for you."

It wasn't a confidential document, Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little aggrieved. How could her aunt give such an important thing to her?

She was a smart person and it only took her a moment to come to her senses before she responded gracefully.

Shao Lanxiang loves her niece the most and is not shy about it.

Now that Xiao Cui is back, she is even more adept at serving Shao Lanxiang.

As they were talking, Xiaodong knocked on the door, carrying a lunch box.

Ximei hurriedly opened the door and helped her bring out the iced drinks one by one and put them away.

Seeing only three bowls of iced milk, Shao Yunshi frowned and asked, "Didn't the kitchen prepare a lot of milk powder? Why did they only make three bowls?"

Xiaodong did not bring out his and Ximei's portions because Shao Lanxiang was strict with the rules.

After hearing this, she chuckled twice and said, "There's more in the kitchen. I'll send it to my aunt and senior sister first."

Shao Lanxiang knew that Xiaodong was a naughty girl and that she would definitely have her share of troubles, and she also knew that she could not stand being restrained.

So, she simply said, "Xiao Cui is all I need here. Ximei and Xiaodong, go to the kitchen and have a bowl of iced drink to cool off."

Ximei and Xiaodong were both a little afraid of Shao Lanxiang, so they bowed and left without even looking at Shao Yunshi.

Their actions made the Shao family's aunt and niece laugh.

Xiao Cui was also very tactful. After everyone finished eating, she quickly cleaned up the ice bowls and left the room.

Seeing this, Shao Yunshi looked at her aunt hesitantly, "Aunt, is there anything important to tell me?"

Shao Lanxiang smiled and said, "Relax, don't be so nervous."

How could Shao Yunshi not be nervous? "Aunt, just tell me. I'm not nervous. I'm just worried about my uncle."

How could this child be so insightful? Shao Lanxiang sighed, "How did you guess it?" "I guessed it because my aunt came to Shanghai alone with such a big belly." Shao Yunshi did not hide it.

Shao Lanxiang gently stroked her niece's hair and said, "Aunt Man, what I'm going to say next may be a little scary, but you have to believe that I and my uncle will solve it, so you have to stay calm."

It was so serious that Shao Yunshi straightened her pretty face and nodded seriously.

Shao Lanxiang didn't expect that the child was still a little frightened. She sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that your uncle's performance report this time is a little uncertain. I'm worried that he will be transferred to the front line."

To the front line?! Shao Yunshi thought of Luo Congbai who was far away on the front line and shuddered, "Aunt, isn't my uncle doing well in Wuhan?"

Seeing her like this, Shao Lanxiang thought she was just worried, so she held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, things haven't been confirmed yet."

Seeing that her aunt had misunderstood, Shao Yunshi did not dare to be distracted any longer and just nodded.

Seeing that Mangu had calmed down, Shao Lanxiang continued, "Hey, factional struggles, how can you be at peace if you just stay well?"

Not wanting to say anything more, Shao Lanxiang stopped talking.

Shao Yunshi blinked a few times, "Isn't my uncle a direct descendant of that family?"

Shao Lanxiang said with a smile: "That's not a direct line, it's just that they graduated from the same famous school."

"Is there no one from the government who can help?" Shao Yunshi frowned.

Shao Lanxiang shook her head, "Of course there are people who help. After all, there are many people who want to go and suppress bandits."

Today, the gap in power between the two parties is too great. For officials, going to the front line is actually a good opportunity to gain political achievements and take credit.

Only Jiang Zhekai was not optimistic and did not want to fight against his own people.

However, some people in higher positions couldn't bear to see him become so successful in Wuhan, and although they didn't want to give him the credit, they still suggested that he go to the front line.

Shao Yunshi understood all these twists and turns and became even more worried.

She frowned, took out the ancient coins from her sleeve pocket, and laid them out one by one.

Shao Lanxiang believed in her niece's divination very much, and wanted to ask her for divination today, so she waited quietly for good news.

Shao Yunshi didn't have to spend much time and the divination was completed.

"Is this the Kun hexagram?!" Shao Lanxiang frowned.

Shao Yunshi explained as she picked up the ancient coins: "They are just similar."

Shao Lanxiang knew what the fortune-telling meant, so she heaved a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly, "What is that?"

"Li Gua"

"Treading on the tiger's tail, it will not bite you, good luck." Shao Lanxiang recited the meaning of the hexagram in a low voice.

Shao Yunshi raised her eyebrows and glanced at her aunt, "Now that you know, you shouldn't worry anymore, right?"

Shao Lanxiang slapped her in annoyance and said, "Hurry up and tell your aunt in detail."

She has self-awareness and knows that she is in the same boat as me, knowing only a few superficial things.

Shao Yunshi didn't dare to argue with her aunt, so she quickly explained in detail, "First work hard, then relax, first be surprised, then be at peace, don't be radical in everything, you must treat others with peace, and be surprised without danger."

"You mean, your uncle can escape danger this time?" Shao Lanxiang said excitedly.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that her aunt would frighten the fetus, so she quickly comforted her, "That's what I mean, so, aunt, you have to stay calm."

Shao Lanxiang rarely smiled foolishly in front of her niece. "Your uncle is trapped in Nanjing. Even I was under surveillance the whole way out. Now I feel more at ease."

"What, someone is still monitoring you? Then you came so late just to get rid of the person who is monitoring you?" Shao Yunshi frowned.

Shao Lanxiang no longer concealed the truth, "Yes, actually I didn't think of this at first, but who knew I would run into Lingzhou, and then, things happened to happen, so I took advantage of her and escaped."

"Then, aunt, do you know who is monitoring you?" Shao Yunshi said uneasily.
