Boss Qian said, "My Lord, it's not a good idea to go out. You have to take mountain roads if you encounter mountain roads, and waterways if you encounter waterways. You may encounter all kinds of things that we can't imagine or think about during this period. The dangers are unpredictable. And there is your physical condition. My Lord fell ill all the way from Bian Jing to Fengying. You must not go far anymore. The whole family depends on my uncle for protection. I have to take care of my health first."

Wan Lianxing nodded tactfully. If he died, the Wan family would definitely be affected.

Three days later, Cangman left Fengying with goods and a convoy, heading towards the southern Yan Kingdom.

Yuhua, who was doing needlework at home, sighed, "This Furong's life is really not good."

Sister Wu said: "Furong's fate is not bad, but Cangman is not bad."

Yuhua said: "Cang Man is an unreliable person. He is always running around, and the couple spends less time together than together."

Sister Wu said, "Don't even mention Furong. It's the same with you and Chen Qingliao. You barely see each other twice a year."

"So I came to Fengying to serve Cheng Youning."

Cheng Youning was poking at the lock, trying to deal with it while eavesdropping on the adults' conversation with one ear. With this pair of clever ears, Cheng Youning knew a lot of things in the family.

In fact, Cheng Youning has Bajiao to serve him in the courtyard, and Qiao Rong is always by his side, so Cheng Youning really doesn't need Yuhua to look after him. After all, when this child runs, even his father can't catch up with him. This is no longer the Cheng Youning who used to be taken care of by Yuhua.

But Cheng Youning still hoped that he could see these people every day. After all, Sister Wu was a good cook and Yuhua protected her. So Cheng Youning never mentioned the news of the war in front of these two people. He asked his husband Huang Chenming for advice, and he roughly knew what the war was about.

Two days later, Shang Xi returned, exhausted.

She was holding her breath in her heart, and she ran all the way without any rest. She came back at full speed, and Ge Dongqing and Suiying also came back with her.

Shang Xi jumped off the horse and went straight to find Wan Lianxing. He looked unusual and aggressive.

Cheng Feng smiled and said to the person beside him, "How come you came back so soon?"

Shang Xi's eyebrows were twisted together, and he said fiercely: "You can ask Uncle Ge and the others."

"Uncle Ge, what's going on?"

Ge Dongqing said with a smile: "This child likes to throw tantrums. She didn't even give me the chance to go sightseeing, so we had no choice but to return home as fast as we could."

Cheng Feng looked at Shang Xi who was already ten meters away from them and said, "That's not right. My Shang Xi never loses his temper."

Shang Xi came all the way to the hall where President Wan Lianxing went. When she saw the servants guarding the door, she knew that Wan Lianxing must be here. Without waiting for the servants to report, she pushed the door open, and the two carved wooden doors made a bang.

It would have been fine if he hadn't come in, but when he came in and took a look, Shang Xi was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Uncle, we have been running around for several days, and you are actually playing with monkeys at home."

Wan Lianxing smiled when he saw Shang Xi. This person came back much faster than he thought: "Hurry up and sit down. Someone, bring some tea. Where is your uncle Ge?"

"Dead." This sounded like something he said in anger.

"Then let me ask you, how did your uncle Ge die?"

"He plotted against me and Boss Qian to death."

Ge Dongqing came in from the back and said, "Who said I was dead?"

Shang Xi said angrily: "I said it."

"Dong Qing, let me ask you, how did you offend my nephew's wife? Look how angry Shang Xi is."

Ge Dongqing said: "It's all your fault, brother. I was just foolish and brought back a few more people from South City for you."

"How many? Is that how many? Fifteen thousand? Do you want to shut down all our factories?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Shang Xi, I already know about this matter. Boss Qian and Cheng Feng also know about it."

Wan Lianxing recounted what happened that day, pushed all the responsibility onto Ge Dongqing, and even pretended to scold Ge Dongqing a few times.

Shang Xi said, "You two are just playing a double act for me. Without your instruction, how could my uncle Ge attack our miners? He even secretly gave each of them two taels of silver. I'm so surprised you could come up with this idea. You guys are taking me for a fool, right? If I knew I would be ambushed by you, I would rather die than go back to South City. How would Boss Qian think of me? He must have misunderstood that I was in collusion with you."

Wan Lianxing said: "Shang Xi, there's no need to be so angry. At first, Boss Qian thought we were in collusion, but later the misunderstanding was resolved."

Shang Xi laughed sarcastically, "That's because he was suppressed by your tyranny. If it were someone else, Boss Qian would have turned hostile long ago."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Do you know why you and Cheng Feng are not as good as Boss Qian in business?"

"why?"

"Even if I was the one who ordered this, if it was good for Boss Qian, he wouldn't have kept nagging about it."

Shang Xi asked: "What do you mean?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Businessmen value profits, but you and Cheng Feng value loyalty, so you two are far behind Boss Qian in business. You should learn more from him. Boss Qian has already used my money to build a factory for himself. He is a smart man. Shang Xi, don't offend your uncle here. Cheng Feng has already offended me once. You should go back and have a rest. You must be exhausted from the journey. Your face has turned green."

Shang Xi glared at Wan Lianxing, "You guys are so mad at me that I'm green with anger. You used me and set a trap for me, then you just made up your mind and made it go away with a few words. I don't believe you. The monkey you're playing with belongs to my Cheng Youning, right?"

"Yes, I borrowed it from him to play with for a few days. This little monkey was trained by Cheng Youning and is very well behaved. He can pat my back, scratch my itch, and peel nuts for me."

Shang Xi angrily said to Cheng Feng: "Take the monkey away and don't let him play with it."

Cheng Feng walked over with a smile: "Uncle, I'll take the monkey away first."

"Oh, I haven't had enough fun yet. The four monkeys are really good at scratching me. They scratched me so comfortably."

Cheng Feng said: "Let me take it back first, otherwise I won't be able to complete my mission."

"Are you so afraid of your wife?"

"It's all your and Uncle Ge's fault that you made Shang Xi unhappy."

Cheng Feng pried open Wan Lianxing's hand that was holding the monkey's paw, carried the monkey away, and turned back to chase Shang Xi.

As Shang Xi walked, she talked about the humiliation she had suffered in the past few days. After so many days, she finally had someone to talk to. Seeing Cheng Feng, she opened up. Cheng Feng listened to her complaints while comforting her, saying that Boss Qian had already accepted this fact, so she could let it go.

How could Shang Xi calm down so quickly? He was playing tricks right under her nose. It was obvious that he was plotting against her and playing tricks on her.
