Shen Wenxia reacted quickly and pulled the woman's hand away, moving several steps away from Shen Zhao.

He smiled and said, "Sister Zhaozhao, this is a girl my second brother and I rescued yesterday morning.

According to her, her family lived in a small village nearby and her mother wanted to sell her to a widower man in his forties.

She ran out unwillingly and fainted from hunger beside our carriage.

We brought her in and let her stay at the inn first.

Her name is Xia Yu, Yu'er, call her Sister Zhao Zhao quickly."

Xia Yu had a pale face and looked weak.

She timidly grasped the corner of Shen Wenxia's clothes, leaned on her, listened to Shen Wenxia's call, and whispered,

"Hello, Sister Zhao Zhao.

I am Xia Yu, you can call me Yu'er."

Shen Zhao said coldly, "Miss Xia Yu, you should just call me Shen Zhao.

You and I don't know each other, so let's not be so intimate."

Xia Yu shrank his body and nodded hesitantly, but his body moved closer to Shen Wenxia.

Shen Wenxia didn't expect it to be so embarrassing, and she still had an embarrassed smile on her face.

Although Xia Yu had only known her for a few days, she felt that they got along very well.

Xia Yu always understands with me what I like and what I hate.

Coincidentally, the name also contains the character "玉", and Shen Wenxia feels a natural affinity for him because of this.

Moreover, Xia Yu has a miserable life, but she is also very strong.

She had no relatives when she came to Beijing, but she had already planned to start a small business, earn money and settle down in Beijing.

Shen Wenxia is simple-minded and admires her.

They have been sticking together all day long these past two days.

But the next moment, Shen Wenxia let go of Xia Yu's arm.

She said politely, with a little distance.

“Yu’er, Sister Zhaozhao is right.

It’s also my fault, you don’t know me.

It’s really not good for me to force you to meet each other.

It doesn’t matter, you can discuss your own issues.”

It's just that her actions prove who she leans towards.

Xia Yu was dumbfounded. Shen Wenxia was always very good to her.

Every day I hear 'Sister Yu' getting taller and 'Sister Yu' getting shorter, but why does it seem like everything has changed since Shen Zhao came?

She has been coaxing her these days and speaking in accordance with her wishes.

Is this the result?

A hint of hatred flashed across Xia Yu's face, but he hid it very well.

No rush, what matters to her is to involve these two people.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wenxia said again,

“Yu’er, my second brother and I already have a new place to live.

Don’t come to the inn again. I will rent your inn until the day after tomorrow.

You stay for two days, so take advantage of the time to find a stall.

You are not going to start a small business, so I wish you a prosperous business. "

Shen Zhao chuckled and crossed his arms to watch the fun.

If she was not mistaken, this woman appeared for a purpose.

I just don't know if it's directed at Shen Wenhu or her?

Since there's no rush to go back home now, why not just watch Xia Yu's performance.

Xia Yu froze when she heard this. He was leaving her alone so soon?

Damn it, she had been planning to create another life-saving favor in the next two days. Once she had two life-saving favors in hand, she didn’t believe that these two siblings would abandon her.

It’s just that Shen Zhao came too quickly.

Xia Yu calmed her thoughts and tried hard to come up with a solution. She forced out a smile and said pitifully,

“Sister Wenxia, ​​I’m new here and I only know you two.

If you ask me to start a small business now, I have no idea what to do.

Let me put it this way, I can’t eat and drink for free.

I will be your maid, Sister Wen Xia, okay?"

How could Shen Wenxia agree to this? Xia Yu saved her life.

Besides, she is just a farm girl, who needs to serve her?

Shen Wenxia refused neatly.

"No, I don't need anyone to wait on me.

Besides, didn’t you have your own ideas when you chatted with me before?

You're the one doing the business, not me.

You have to think about it yourself, could it be that everything you said before was false?"

Shen Wenxia had a flash of inspiration, could it be that Xia Yu had a crush on her second brother?

In order to get the upper hand, she pursued her brother.

This is why I don't want anything, I just want to follow them.

Thinking of this, Shen Wenxia jumped three meters high and said strongly,

“No, no, I’m so grateful that you saved me.

But we have different ideas and cannot work together. You should just go and start a small business.

How about this, I'll give you 100 taels as starting capital."

Shen Wenxia wanted to use money to repay this life-saving favor.

But she doesn't have that much money herself.

Before she could ask for money, a hand reached out from the side.

Upon seeing it, he handed over a hundred taels of silver.

It was Brother Shen, his face was calm and his tone was distant.

"Miss Xia, here is a hundred taels of silver!"

Xia Yu was dumbfounded by the actions of the two siblings of the Shen family.

She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the banknote handed to her, she felt it was a little hot.

At this time, Shen Zhao asked,

"Life-saving grace?

Xia Xia, tell me about it."

Xia Yu waved her hand and said casually,

"Miss Zhao Zhao, it's just a trivial matter.

It doesn’t matter, I fainted from hunger beside their carriage, it was also a kind of fate.”

Shen Zhao smiled politely, "Miss Xia, you can't say that.

The Shen family is grateful and will repay favors.

Now that I know you saved my life, I will find a way to repay you.

Don't worry, if this favor is genuine, let alone opening a small stall, I can even give you a shop."

"Really?"

Xia Yu stuttered, but a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Shen Wenxia honestly told what happened before.

"Sister Zhao Zhao, we encountered a poisonous snake when we were resting in the wild yesterday.

The poisonous snake was right next to me and I was so scared that I screamed.

The snake ran straight onto me and bit me on the calf.

I fainted at that moment, and Yu'er sucked out the poisonous blood for me in time.

She picked herbs for me and helped me completely get rid of the snake venom.

When we arrived in the capital, we had already seen a doctor.

The doctor said the herbs Yuer picked are very useful and my body is fine."

Shen Wenhu added,

“I had clearly searched the resting area before choosing it, and there were no reptiles or insects or anything like that, but why did a venomous snake suddenly appear?

Moreover, the doctor said that this type of snake venom does not appear near the capital, and it is only encountered once every few decades."

Shen Zhao, "Oh, so that's what happened. Miss Xia really helped a lot, but I have a question. Can you help me answer it?"

Xia Yu pinched her palms, sweat oozing out of her back, and forced a smile.

"Miss Zhao Zhao, if you have any questions, just tell me.

Yu'er will definitely tell you everything she knows."

"Well then," Shen Zhao asked with a cold face.

“Xia Xia and my second brother arrived in the capital last night, so they should have been not far from the capital yesterday morning, probably only a few dozen miles away.

So where is the hometown you mentioned? Is it the small village nearby?

That shouldn't be far from here, which is strange.

How come you know how to cure this snake venom? And the herbs you found are all useful?

Snakes generally don't appear here, and detoxifying herbs don't appear nearby. Did you really find the herbs by chance?

Miss Xia, you are quite lucky?"

Shen Wenxia hastily added, “Speaking of herbs, my second brother wanted to look for them, but he couldn’t find any.

My second brother searched for several kilometers but found nothing.

As a result, Yu'er, you found it as soon as you went to look for it?"
