Yan Ruyu was sure that Shen Wenqi would not hand over the keys easily.

Once it is handed over, the warehouse matters can no longer be concealed.

He should have taken these banknotes back from his mistress. It was easy to get these banknotes, but it was not easy to make up for the shortfall in the treasury in a short time.

Shen Wenqi smiled and held Madam Shen's hand: "Let's take care of this shop first. We agreed that you should take good care of your pregnancy and don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion. Now I'm giving you the shop to manage, which makes me very worried."

He said with a hint of reproach in his tone, pretending to be angry: "If you tire yourself out because of this, I won't forgive you."

Madam Shen smiled gently, lowered her eyes, but her tone was unyielding: "How can you be tired? You said before that you would not take care of the affairs of the mansion because you wanted to be lazy. Now, there is no one to send a letter to."

"I, the mistress of the house, am just a decoration."

Shen Wenqi was stunned: "Who dares to say that?"

"I was looking for the messengers today, one of them was sick, and the other was out. Everything they do is more important than me. If I am not just a decoration, what am I?"

A smile flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes. The girl from the Jiang family was indeed as smart as her reputation.

She took every step carefully. She first proposed to go to the temple. Shen Wenqi had something to hide, so naturally he could not agree. Then she gave in to business, and Shen Wenqi had to give her money. But if she gave it, there was no guarantee that Shen Wenqi would not be suspicious, so she took the opportunity to throw out the two messengers.

First, make a big request that the other party is unlikely to agree to, and then step back and propose what they really want. This way, you can deal with small characters and small incidents at the same time without arousing suspicion.

Admiration flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes. These women were smart and clever. Once their love brains were awakened, they would be unstoppable.

If Jiang Ruhuan is good at doing business, then we will have a good helper in the future.

Yan Ruyu was happy and felt that the trip was worth it.

She whispered, "I'll go see if the medicine has worked."

She turned and went out, looking into the night sky from the corridor. A black shadow came over and landed on her shoulder.

She took out a small piece of red silk thread and tied it around the starling's leg, and the starling flew off into the night again.

In the carriage at the corner outside the mansion gate, Governor Cao stared at the night sky intently. It was pitch black and he could not make out anything.

He muttered secretly, don't miss it and delay the princess's important event.

At this moment, Cui Chong, who was guarding the side of the carriage, said, "Sir, they are here."

"where?"

Governor Cao looked around quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow approaching from afar, and it appeared in front of him almost in an instant.

The starling landed on the window of his carriage, raised its chin and stretched out its right paw.

There is a red thread tied on the yellow claw, which is very eye-catching.

Governor Cao bowed to the myna and said, "Nice bird, thank you very much."

The starling rolled its eyes and stretched out its claws again.

Governor Cao was confused: "What do you mean?"

Although this bird is smart, well-fed, and shiny, its claws are not beautiful.

Governor Cao carefully observed the starling, looking at its raised head, slightly narrowed eyes, and raised claws.

Suddenly a word came to my mind: arrogant.

This is probably the most vivid demonstration.

Governor Cao suppressed his laughter and said, "Good bird, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

The starling didn't say anything, but opened its mouth slightly and made a "tsk" sound.

Governor Cao was stunned: "Is it...laughing at me?"

Cui Chong pursed his lips tightly, turned his head and looked away, smiled quickly, turned back, and said with forced seriousness: "Sir, please untie the silk thread on its claws and see if it wants you to help it untie it."

Governor Cao tentatively untied the silk thread for the starling, but the bird made another "tsk" sound, flapped its wings and flew away.

"Hey, I say..."

Governor Cao muttered to himself, the prince and the princess are both good, who does this bad bird look like? He thought for a while, is it like a silver ingot?

In the tavern, while drinking hot wine and listening to Feng Shao and Bei Bei's reports, Yin Ding suddenly sneezed.

"This is the situation," Beibei said, "Brother Tuotuo, what do you think?"

Yinding narrowed his eyes and thought: "I don't need to look at anything else. What you said makes sense. This man is a piece of shit. But this is just on the surface. The question is, why did he do this?"

"If you don't want to get married, you don't have to. Why do you do this kind of thing while you're married?"

Feng Shao said, "Could it be that he is after the Jiang family's wealth and reputation? That's not something that ordinary people can cling to."

Yinding touched the wine glass: "This is just on the surface. If you really want these, it's not impossible to make Madam Shen pregnant. Why not?"

Feng Shao and Bei Bei looked at each other in bewilderment: "Brother Tuotuo, then tell me, why is that?"

Yinding's mind raced, "I think this weirdness comes from that mistress. How can a simple woman be allowed to be treated this way by Shen Wenqi?"

"Keep an eye on that house. Find out what the woman inside looks like, including her identity and background."

"Yes."

……

Yan Ruyu had just arrived at the outer room when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Sir, Governor Cao is here."

Shen Wenqi in the inner room was having a headache. She explained to Mrs. Shen about the two messengers, saying that one was indeed sick and the other went out to buy something in the afternoon. There was no need to be angry about such things, and she would definitely hold them accountable.

Mrs. Shen did not express her opinion either. He was almost talking dry when he heard this report.

Although he didn't know why Governor Cao suddenly came to his house, he was saved after all.

"Ma'am, you take a good rest. I'll go see what's going on."

"Okay, you go first, then dinner will be later..."

"You don't have to wait for me. You are the most important. Eat when you are hungry and sleep when you are tired. I will come to see you when I am done with my work."

Shen Wenqi was considerate and thoughtful. Madam Shen suppressed her nausea and lowered her eyes and said, "My husband should also pay more attention to his health."

Shen Wenqi turned around and left the room. Seeing Yan Ruyu, he said, "Take good care of Madam. If there is any problem, report to me immediately."

"Yes."

Shen Wenqi followed the messenger to the front hall. As soon as he left the yard, he ordered the servants, "Keep an eye on Miss Jiang and the female doctor. Don't let them wander around."

After thinking for a while, he reminded again: "Especially that female doctor."

"Yes."

For some reason, the female doctor was quiet and silent. She should have no sense of presence, but Shen Wenqi just couldn't ignore her.

I always feel that she is like a bystander, sharp and sober.

This uneasiness came from his long-term vigilance and his trust in his own feelings.

It is not a good thing that Jiang Tangli comes to the mansion at this time. At the very least, the fact that the news has been intercepted will soon be revealed.

We have to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.

The female doctor was also dealt with.

Having made up his mind to kill, he hurried to the front hall. It was so late and he didn't know what Governor Cao was doing here.

He had heard that Governor Cao had been acting like a madman these days, but he had never had a close relationship with him and he seldom visited the Governor's mansion.

This was out of the ordinary, and Shen Wenqi really didn't like the feeling of being out of control.
