Chapter 276
Xu Yuan led her to look for it on the road, Wanwan said that Qian Yan said that although the candied haws store would be placed in a relatively fixed place, it would still change places occasionally, so whether they could find it or not depended on their luck.

Several people circled the road several times, but found nothing.

Wanwan lowered her head and sighed: "It seems that I can only eat again next time."

Xu Yuan held her little face in both hands, and she didn't bring out any scarf. The little girl's cheeks were flushed from the cold, and the tip of her nose was a little red.

"Let's go, mother will take you out to eat next time, it's too cold now, and Wanwan's cheeks will be frostbitten if I go any further." She took out her handkerchief to cover the little girl's face, and smacked the girl behind her head. Knot to prevent the handkerchief from falling off.

Feeling her current appearance, Wan Wan turned her head and smiled at Chang Zhu: "Brother Chang Zhu, does Wan Wan look like a heroine?"

"Like." Chang Zhu smiled, and Wan Wan finally remembered him.

She turned her head with a smile, and ran for a short distance on the road: "Here comes the heroine!"

Xu Yuan shook her head helplessly, the child is really every character.

Li Yin tugged at Xu Yuan from behind, a little like wanting to follow Wanwan up.

Xu Yuan quickly shook off his hand: "Li Yin, please be quiet, if you run up like this, I will punish you not to have dinner today!"

He let go of his impulsiveness lazily, when Mingming ran away, she was still smiling!
Watching the interaction between the two, Chang Zhu couldn't help laughing out: "Benefactor, you and my uncle are really one thing over another."

"How did you say that?" Xu Yuan looked at him curiously. Could it be that she and Li Yin are really against each other?

"It's okay, it's just a sudden sigh. I'm going to chase Wanwan." He stepped forward quickly, pulled Wanwan aside and followed him, "Go slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Li Yin took the opportunity to hold Xu Yuan's hand: "Daughter-in-law, I will hold you too."

Xu Yuan let him drag her, and put her hands into the sleeves of his jacket bit by bit. It was really cold this day, and Li Yin's clothes were much warmer.

A few people walked to Xu Mansion so leisurely, and the main hall was just about to have dinner.

Xu Yuan didn't take her maid with her when she went out today, so Chunyue and Xia Hua stayed at the mansion and took care of the old man by the way. After all, they had gotten along with the old man in Qiyun City before, so they knew his habits better.

"Yuanyuan, why did you come back?" Xu's mother gave Xu Yuan a reproachful look, "The old man had dinner with us today, and he sat here and waited for a long time."

"Really? Then I'll accompany you, sir." Xu Yuan picked up the small wine glass in front of her, poured a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mrs. Xu, there is no need to see outsiders like this. Yuanyuan and I are not outsiders." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Let's eat."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, Xu's father and Xu's mother probably already knew that the poisoning matter was basically resolved, so they didn't look like they were full of worries a few days ago.

Xu Chi looked at his face full of spring. He also knew Xu Yuan's progress, and he had been resting at home for the past few days, so he regained some vitality.

Biting her chopsticks, Xu Yuan looked at the people on the table with different expressions, and suddenly aimed at the old man, asking if he could have a look at the new shop.

Anyway, he is idle in this mansion, and doing what he likes should have some benefits.

"Old man, I just bought another shop in Yonghua City a few days ago, are you interested in going to see it?"

"What shop?" The old man took a bite of food, and there was clearly some interest in his eyes.

"It's just an ordinary shop, but I think if you're willing to repair it, it's definitely not ordinary." Xu Yuan smiled and flattered her.

Sure enough, the expression on the old man's face became smoother: "Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow, I'm free anyway."

Xu Yuan smiled even more happily: "Brother, you can take your husband to have a look tomorrow, and do whatever you need."

"Okay." Xu Chi nodded in response, "I'll wait for you in the meeting room after dinner." He put down his chopsticks first and left the dinner table early.

Xu Yuan went to the meeting room to find him after dinner, and Xu Chi sat at the table and put an inkstone for the evening.

"What's wrong?" She sat down opposite him.

"I heard that the person who poisoned him is most likely Zhao Yuanyi?" He raised his eyes, Xu Yuan couldn't understand the emotion in his eyes.

"It's not confirmed yet." Xu Yuan lay on the table, "And new evidence was found today, and the person pointed to by the evidence is not Zhao Yuanyi."

"Who is that?"

"Fang Shunsheng. Brother, do you know him? It is said that he is also a rich man in Yonghua City?"

Xu Chi's face froze, Fang Shunsheng...why these two people are still inseparable from the Xu family's affairs after all these years.

"I don't know." He shook his head, "I was still young at the time, how could the people in Yonghua City know so much."

"Okay." Xu Yuan sighed, "I thought I would be able to catch Zhao Yuanyi, but I didn't expect him to separate himself."

"Why do you want to arrest Zhao Yuanyi?" Xu Chi's face tightened. Could it be that Xu Yuan knew something?
"He came to my shop repeatedly to make troubles and disrupt my business. Naturally, I wanted to arrest him."

"That's it." Xu Chi nodded, "That's right, this person really should be arrested."

Xu Yuan looked up at Xu Chi suspiciously: "Brother, is there something you didn't tell me?" Why did he react so strangely.

"What can be the matter?" He smiled, raised his hand to his forehead, "If the murderer is caught, please tell me, since I am going to help the old man watch the shop, I definitely can't go to the court with you."

"Well, I'll talk to you when the time comes." Xu Yuan loosened her shoulders, "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first, and I will go to the court to watch tomorrow."

"Okay, you go to rest." Xu Chi watched her go out, he was still struggling, whether to tell Xu Yuan about Zhao Yuanyi's grievances with the Xu family back then.

When Xu Yuan returned to the house, Li Yin was already lying on the bed, and he didn't know what he had done today, he looked very tired.

After she washed and went to bed, there was a book spread out on Li Yin's face, she opened the book, and the people underneath had already slept soundly.

Xu Yuan sighed helplessly, and put the book away on the shelf.

A few days ago, when she was looking through medical books to find the medicinal materials, she seemed to see some medicinal materials that were useful for Li Yin's illness.

After packing up her things, Xu Yuan went to bed and lay beside Li Yin, and pulled at the hair hanging on his temples: "I slept so fast."

The next day Xu Yuan went to the court early. Fang Shunsheng was kneeling in front of the court, with Zhao Yuanyi beside him.

Master Qian said that Xu Yuan's guess was correct. When the yamen servant went to Fang's house, Fang Shunsheng was planning to escape, but the yamen servant went in time, stopped him, and immediately arrested him in the yamen.

Xu Yuan looked at the person kneeling beside Zhao Yuanyi, she didn't seem to have seen this person before.
