Old man Wang’s full name is Wang Feng.

Because the old marquis owed him a favor, the old lady couldn't chase him away even if she knew where he came from.

What's more, this man has the ability to appear and disappear at will, so he cannot be offended. The only thing he can do is keep him in the mansion, arrange an easy job for him, and give him a place to stay as the old marquis promised him.

However, Shen Rong did not expect that the old man would not change his bad habits and even wanted to dig a dog hole to leave the house.

I don’t know what this old man is thinking.

There was a side door on the back street of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion for the convenience of servants to enter and exit, but the mansion did not forbid him from leaving.

This old man didn't go through the normal door, but insisted on going through that dog hole. I don't know what he was thinking?

Is it because he is used to being a thief?

While thinking, I heard Juxiang's brother Jiafu said with heartache: "I spent a long time taking care of that flower wall and made it look like this. You ruined all my hard work!"

Jiafu is a person who loves flowers and he hates to see people destroying them.

Old Man Wang didn't take Jiafu seriously at all. He bared his teeth and carefully turned over the thorny branches that were hooked in his hair.

When Shen Rong walked over, she saw this scene and felt angry and amused.

"Young Madam." Jiafu bowed quickly when he saw Shen Rong, then pointed at Old Man Wang with an accusing look on his face.

"Madam, Uncle Wang was preparing to dig a dog hole in the northwest corner again. I found him and he broke a lot of the flowers!"

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Remember to come to Guiyuan to get your reward money later. You can go and get busy first!"

Seeing that the young lady recognized his efforts, Jiafu's unhappiness disappeared immediately, "Thank you, young lady!"

Jiafu glared at Old Man Wang before leaving.

Old Man Wang stood aside, tidying up his hair that had been shaved like a chicken coop, oblivious to the people around him.

Shen Rong didn't care about his attitude. She walked a few steps closer and asked, "Does Mr. Wang still remember Li Shun from Lijia Village?"

Speaking of which, Li Shun is her eldest sister-in-law's cousin and also Old Man Wang's apprentice.

When Shen Rong was still in Yunmeng County, she had not heard the news of Li Shun's arrest, and she didn't know whether the outcome of his life would change?

When Old Man Wang heard the familiar name, he looked up at Shen Rong.

Shen Rong hurriedly said: "She is my sister-in-law's cousin."

The old man was a little unconvinced and grabbed his messy hair. "What? That kid was caught and gave me away?"

Otherwise, he couldn't figure out how the girl in front of him knew about his relationship with Li Shun?

At the beginning, he remembered that Li Shun saved him, so he taught Li Shun some skills.

I didn't expect that this girl is actually related to that cheap apprentice.

Shen Rong shook her head, "When I came to Beijing, I didn't hear about his arrest.

It’s just that he has a good relationship with my sister-in-law and said that he was once taken care of by an old man, but unfortunately he didn’t have the opportunity to serve him.”

Wang Feng was a little surprised, "Then how did you know it was mine?"

That kid can't be so stupid as to tell everyone that he has learned how to steal things, right?

Shen Rong paused, without changing her expression, and said, "I guessed."

Wang Feng's face changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly: You little brat, you did bad things without knowing it behind people's back, you must have been seen by someone, stupid boy, you'd better not let him meet you again, otherwise I will scold him to death!

Shen Rong saw that Old Man Wang didn't look well, so she didn't say anything to comfort him.

In this life, Li Shun has not been caught yet, and she has no idea how many families he has stolen from.

But in his previous life, before he was arrested, he was quite rampant, causing panic among the wealthy people in several counties near Yunmeng County.

Shen Rong continued, "Brother Li is indeed a bit bold. If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet..."

Shen Rong didn't explain the rest of the words clearly, but Old Man Wang understood.

He and a dozen of his fellow apprentices had learned the skill of "evil hands" from their master. In the end, most of his fellow apprentices died or had their hands broken. In short, except for him, no one was left alive.

What makes Wang Feng different from his fellow disciples is that he is not greedy and knows when to stop.

Now, he is old and has retired long ago. His only hobby is to have a drink and have fun.

If that cheap disciple doesn't know when to stop, I'm afraid he won't have a good ending in the future.

Forget it, forget it. Now he has to rely on others to live a stable life, and he can no longer take care of that cheap apprentice.

but……

Old Man Wang glanced at Shen Rong and asked, "Young Madam has been talking to an old man like me for so long. What is it that matters?"

Shen Rong glanced around and saw that there was no one else nearby, so she whispered, "I have a favor to ask of you."

Old Man Wang curled his lips and sneered, "I never thought that my humble tricks could catch the eye of such a noble man."

Shen Rong's expression remained unchanged. "It doesn't matter whether I'm popular or not, as long as I'm useful, it's fine. As long as Uncle Wang helps me, I will definitely reward you handsomely after the task is completed!"

Wang Feng put his hands behind his back and pondered for a moment.

He is now in someone else's house, so it would be bad for him to not give them any face.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Shen Rong said, "I need a personal contract. After the matter is completed, I will prepare a small courtyard for Uncle Wang on the street side of the west wing and two servants for Uncle Wang to take care of you in your old age."

Wang Feng was shamefully moved.

He had saved a lot of money over the years, but if he wanted to buy servants for the courtyard, everything would require an identity, which would easily expose himself.

But now, he is hiding in someone else's house, keeping his identity secret, and having people serving him. Who wouldn't want such a life?

Wang Feng raised his eyelids and asked, "Whose indenture is it?"

"Qu Lian'er is an actress. Her indenture is in the hands of a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. She is now in the capital." Shen Rong told Wang Feng the news she had heard from Qu Lian'er.

Wang Feng nodded, "Wait!"

After saying this, he left with a few broken branches hanging on his back.

Shen Rong looked at Wang Feng's back as he left, secretly thanking herself for having some luck.

Wang Qing took two people to guard outside the Gu family's yard for two days and found out Gu Zhaoming's daily schedule.

A series of plans have been formulated against Gu Zhaoming, and the only thing missing is the appearance of the person involved, Qu Lianer.

However, Qu Lian'er's identity is unknown and she cannot show up in public now.

After waiting for another day, Wang Feng finally stole Qu Lian'er's indenture contract back.

Shen Rong took the contract and took a look. Seeing Qu Lian'er's name on it, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. The yard has been prepared. Chun Xing, ask the servant outside to take Uncle Wang to the west wing to rest."

Shen Rong keeps her word.

She knew what Mr. Wang was capable of, so on the day he agreed, she asked Chun Xing and a few other women to bring a few maids to clean up a small courtyard facing the street on the west wing for use.

Look, this is really useful.

Wang Feng did not ask Shen Rong why she stole an actor's indenture. Seeing that the thing was right, he put his hands behind his back, walked in front of Chun Xing and walked out of Guiyuan.
