What Is She Doing?

However, it would be slightly inappropriate to buy him back as a servant.

Su Anan knew what Yue Luo meant. She was probably afraid that she would buy one today and another tomorrow out of kindness and make Shen villa a mess.

"I know it's inappropriate," she promised. "But I promise I'll only buy this one. I won't buy another in the future, okay?"

With that said, Yue Luo went quiet and simply said, 

"Young Mistress, you can make the decision."

Su Anan gave her a friendly smile.

She then instructed Li San to sit at the front of the carriage and follow her back.

Li San looked at the clean carriage and then at his dirty body. He scratched his head and said, 

"This lowly one will just run back, I don't dare to dirty the Young Lady's carriage."

Su Anan didn't say anything, but Cuiyan stuck her head out and said, 

"I told you to sit. You can't run faster than four legs."

Li San smiled awkwardly and climbed to the front of the carriage. The coachman glanced at him and did not say anything. He whipped the horse, and it neighed and quickly left the city.

They didn't notice that when the carriage had just driven off a few dozen meters, a Young Master in luxurious clothes walked out of Yufeng Street.

The noble young master touched his chin and revealed a playful smile. Then, he summoned his servant and ordered, 

"Go, investigate whose little lady that was."

She was so beautiful that he was stunned the moment the curtain was lifted.

When the servant saw the eldest Young Master's expression, he knew that his Young Master was tempted again, so he quickly went out to ask.

The Young Master looked at the back of the carriage as it left, his eyes filled with determination.

Tsk tsk, Luo city really had such a beauty. Brother Junxu didn't lie to him.

When they arrived at Shen Manor, the sky was already filled with sunlight that reflected on the paved road.

After returning, Yue Luo bade farewell to the Young Mistress. The first thing she did was to go to Qingjing Pavilion and tell her master what had happened today.

This included how she had been sent to Zhilan court and how the Young Mistress and her father had talked for half an hour in the study.

Shen Juncheng was making tea. His movements were slow and unhurried. His fingers were fair and slender. It was a beautiful pair of hands.

He didn't pay much attention when he heard her talking to her father for half an hour.

After all, his daughter was married and was not living well, so he went back to complain. What else could he talk about?

However, he raised his eyebrows slightly when she asked for the dowry back.

It wasn't as if he hadn't investigated Su Sheng before. He was a snob who clung to power. He raised a group of daughters in hopes of using them to build connections in the future.

He had thought that Su Anan must have thought that he was a kind father and would listen to everything he said. He didn't expect that she would see through him and even know how to ask for his dowry. She was not stupid.

After Yue Luo finished speaking, she mentioned that the young mistress had bought a young beggar child to be her servant.

Shen Juncheng did not mind. 

"Just keep an eye on her. If she's obedient, then she can stay."

Yue Luo understood and left respectfully.

After bringing Li San over, Cuiyan let him take a bath first to tidy up his appearance. Then, she went to find a set of servant's clothes and handed it to Li San.

Li San thanked him and went to take a shower.

The dirty water was changed three times before the dust on him faded. When he was brought to Su Anan, the dinner had already started.

Su Anan put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Li San in surprise.

She didn't expect Li San to look so handsome after washing up.

However, he was too small and was even shorter than Cuiyan. When she met him in her previous life, it was four years later. He was already an adult and was much taller than he was now.

"How old are you?" she asked.

"I'm fourteen this year," Li San replied shyly.

Fourteen?

Cuiyan and Su Anan looked at each other. They had thought that he would be 11 or 12 years old, but he was already 14.

Su Anan put away her surprise and said a few words of concern. Hearing that his name was Li San because he was the third son in his family, she said, 

"I'll give you a new name, alright?"

The name Li San had a strong city aura, and it was not appropriate to be the name of a servant.

Li San nodded. "Okay, okay. Please give me a name, Young Mistress."

"How's Li Liang?" Su Anan asked after some thought.

Gentle and humble, that was the feeling Li San gave her.

Li San agreed excitedly. Sister fairy had given him a name, and he felt that it was good no matter what it was.

Su Anan smiled and called a servant over to take him down to get familiar with the place.

"Young Miss, why do you want to buy a beggar?" Cuiyan asked curiously after she saw that the person had left.

"Li Liang is not just a beggar," Su Anan said.

He had grown up in the market, and no one was more familiar with the life of the lower class than him. Also, she knew that Li Liang was a tactful person in her previous life. He was quite clever and had many small channels. He also sold information for money.

Therefore, Su Anan wanted to find a reliable person to help her run around. After all, she couldn't go out all the time.

After a lifetime, she knew some opportunities and always wanted to buy some businesses for herself so that she would no longer rely on her father's family.

Su Anan didn't explain much and just asked her to be nicer to Li Liang.

After Su Anan left, Su Sheng pondered for three days and finally decided to give it a try.

The next morning, he went to see the president of the Yu Du Chamber of Commerce.

Boyan was surprised. 

Why did the young master's father-in-law come here? and why was he so secretive?

After hesitating for a while, he still accepted the invitation. The meeting lasted for 15 minutes before Boyan left in a hurry.

Shen villa.

"What?" Shen Juncheng was equally surprised. "Are Su Sheng's words true?"

"Young Master, it should be true," Boyan replied.

Because Su Sheng had also threatened to use this information in exchange for him to join Minzhong and get its protection. He also wanted the management rights of The Cloth Shop in Luo city.

His appetite was a little big.

If he wasn't confident in the authenticity of the news, he wouldn't have dared to have such a big appetite.

Shen Juncheng frowned. 

"Have you gone to investigate?"

"I've already sent people to investigate. We'll probably get some news tomorrow."

"Verify it as soon as possible. I want a definite result."

"Yes."

After Boyan had left, Shen Juncheng frowned. If the news was true, how did Su Sheng know?

His connections were so small that he couldn't find out about such confidential matters. 

Unless someone told him?

However, this was such a huge piece of news. Anyone could go to the capital of Yu to do him a favor, so why should he tell Su Sheng and ask him to do it?

It didn't make sense.

Shen Juncheng was deep in thought. Suddenly, he remembered that Yue Luo had said that Su Anan had talked with Su Sheng for half an hour in the study after she returned home two days ago.

He shook his head as soon as he thought about it.

According to the investigation, Su Anan had never left her house before she got married. She was a typical girl in her boudoir. How could she know such confidential things?

Forget it. 

Shen Juncheng stopped his thoughts from spreading and quietly waited for the results of Boyan's verification.

Before the next day, Yushi Boyan had already found out that Xiaoliu had betrayed him.

He had secretly used his brother-in-law's name to purchase properties and had also secretly taken in two beautiful concubines.

The sudden influx of wealth meant that he had been discovered and had been instigated by the other party, taking the other party's benefits.

Boyan felt ashamed. He had chosen this person, but he had made a mistake. He knelt immediately and said, 

"Young master, this subordinate will personally end his life."

"No need," said Shen Juncheng, remaining calm. "Don't alert the enemy. Just stick to the plan."

However, he had given him such a big gift so he had to give him something in return to relieve his guilt.

When Boyan heard his Young Master's plan, he immediately went to get it done.

Coincidentally, some time ago, he had secretly robbed a batch of goods from Min Zhong.

Shen Juncheng looked at the lonely moon in the sky and seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly asked, 

"What has she been doing these past few days?"
