After the Republic of China

Chapter 921: Borrowing Strength
The lily of the valley in the bedroom swayed in the wind, emitting fragrance everywhere.

Shao Yunshi stared at the bouquet of flowers that looked like bells in a daze, thinking to herself.

Shao Lanxiang was also thinking about it, but she had no idea, so she shook her head and replied to her niece, "I don't know who is spying on me, it's probably those people in the secret department. However, it could also be someone who doesn't like your uncle."

This is a problem. However, if there are two parties? This seems to be easier to deal with.

Shao Yunshi rubbed his forehead and said, "They will definitely be able to find me soon."

Shao Lanxiang nodded, "That's right, the relationship between you and me is not a hidden one. If they lose me, they will naturally chase you."

"Then why did you come here?" Shao Yunshi asked worriedly.

Shao Lanxiang looked at her confused niece and sighed, "I'm getting rid of them, first to tell them that I know, and second to buy myself some time to take the initiative."

Shao Lanxiang's words were like a wake-up call, leaving Shao Yunshi stunned for a moment.

Seeing her niece like this, Shao Lanxiang sighed, "It's your aunt who has implicated you."

Shao Yunshi has come back to her senses, "How can you say that, aunt? It's not good to be too clear about our family members."

To Shao Yunshi, her aunt is like a mother to her and as intimate as an older sister.

Shao Lanxiang really loved her niece, so she felt that she had come here rashly. Seeing that she was unhappy, she felt relieved and smiled, "How could my aunt be so distant with you? If she was, she wouldn't have come to your place."

Looking at her aunt with a big belly, Shao Yunshi didn't want to argue anymore and just said, "Now that you are here, you can rest assured and take care of your baby. I will take care of everything."

It was rare for Shao Yunshi to be assertive in front of her aunt.

Shao Lanxiang was very pleased with her niece's behavior. She felt that her child had really grown up and could protect her family in return.

So, she simply nodded and said, "Okay, aunt will stay here with peace of mind."

Seeing her aunt say this, Shao Yunshi smiled and said, "I'll ask Master Ling to go out and look around. If anyone follows us here, let's take a look at who they are."

Shao Lanxiang knew Master Ling, and her eyes lit up, "Master Ling is here with you now? If he takes action, it will indeed be better than if my own people take action."

This was agreed, and Shao Yunshi had a deeper understanding of the situation of her aunt and the others.

She was worried, but she was still calm, so she asked, "Aunt, are you relieved now? Do you want to take a nap?"

Shao Lanxiang still had a lot to say to her niece, but she was pregnant after all, and she had been racking her brains today, so she could only say, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and you can call me when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, aunt, you go to sleep, I'll let Xiao Cui look after you." Shao Yunshi still had some things to arrange, so she stood up and prepared to call someone.

Xiao Cui was actually just outside the door. When she heard the noise inside, she knocked on the door and came in.

After leaving her aunt to Xiao Cui, Shao Yunshi went to her study.

The guest room where Shao Lanxiang lived was not too far from Shao Yunshi's boudoir.

After leaving her aunt's room, she frowned unconsciously. Her uncle's matter was a bit big for her. If she could help in a way, she would definitely do her best.

Something was on my mind, so my steps became hurried.

When Shao Yunshi walked through the corridor and returned to her study, she found that there was already someone inside.

Xiaodong and Ximei were in the study, sitting on the couch by the window, one doing needlework and the other fiddling with sachets.

Seeing her, they both stood up.

Shao Yunshi said with a smile: "Why are you guys crowding into the study room today?"

It’s not that Shao Yunshi’s study room is closed to others, but usually everyone stays in the living room to talk.

Xiaodong said playfully: "I calculated that senior sister would definitely come to the study, so I came directly here." Ximei also nodded.

Shao Yunshi was very satisfied to see how thoughtful they were, "Then go and call Master Ling."

"At this moment?" Seeing the senior sister nod, Xiaodong stood up quickly, "Uncle is probably in the backyard, I'll go call him."

Ximei knew that the young lady was in trouble, so she also stood up and said, "I'll go to look after the young aunt."

"Well, you have taken care of Aunt Yan. I will feel more at ease if you go over there and take a look." Shao Yunshi did not stop her.

Ximei hurriedly picked up the sewing basket and prepared to leave.

Seeing her anxious, Shao Yunshi smiled and stopped her, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have something to talk to Uncle Ling about, and maybe I need your help. Please wait outside first."

"Ah, do you have something to ask me? Invite little aunt to eat pickles?" Ximei said curiously.

Her words were quite funny, which made the worried Shao Yunshi laugh a little. "Aunt, did you eat less pickled cabbage? Okay, that's not the point."

Ximei thought that her aunt had indeed passed the period of morning sickness, and chuckled twice, "I'll go to the corridor and wait."

Walking in the corridor in the afternoon, with no sun, and separated by bamboo curtains and a light breeze, it was still very comfortable.

Shao Yunshi did not stop her and nodded, "The light outside is not good. Please turn on the light in the corridor, otherwise you can't do this needlework."

Ximei has now started to do needlework for her relatives.

Ximei couldn't bear to be forbidden to do needlework. "I'll turn on the light, miss, don't worry. If I don't do it every day, I won't be able to do it when there's too much work later."

Shao Yunshi looked at Ximei who was talking about getting married. She was no longer shy and stroked her forehead helplessly, "Just do it if you want."

Seeing that the young lady agreed, Ximei went out happily.

Xiaodong and Ling Daxia arrived very quickly.

The two of them went into the study together.

Shao Yunshi had already sorted out her thoughts. When she met Master Ling, she expressed her thoughts without any hesitation, "How about it? Uncle, do you think my idea is good?"

Hero Ling nodded secretly, "Yes, that's a good idea. Leave it to me. If there are really two groups of people chasing after my little aunt, I will make them butt heads with each other and chase and kill each other."

There is something sinister about these words.

Shao Yunshi raised her eyebrows, "Are you trying to make it bigger?"

Hero Ling most despises those people in the government who only care about fighting for power and profit and have no intention of serving the country.

So, it was not surprising at all that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

"A simple counterattack is only the most basic way to escape. We are now in a state of rest and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, so naturally we have to launch a big counterattack." Hero Ling was not shy at all and looked like he was about to cause trouble.

Shao Yunshi was also a little suffocated. After thinking for a while, she said, "This matter involves politics and my uncle's future. Uncle, don't be busy yet. I will go and discuss it with my aunt."

Hero Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with Shao Lanxiang, and said indifferently: "You go and ask, I'll talk to Ximei first."

Shao Yunshi was left in tears and amused by Ling Daxia's matter-of-fact tone.

"Uncle, Ximei can't resist your deception." Shao Yunshi stopped him.

Hero Ling glared, "What are you thinking? I won't let Ximei do anything. I just want her to call her son-in-law over."

"I'll tell you about this matter, you go out and check it out first." Shao Yunshi said hurriedly, fearing that Master Ling would cause trouble.
