Chapter 134

Leaving the Yin family manor, Tan Bazhang was very moved and said to Liu Xiaolou: "The Yin family's protection of the manor is really too lax. Why don't we find an opportunity to do something?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "That is indeed the case. Perhaps it's because their family has been peaceful for too long... But their family has a Golden Core sitting in town after all. We can do some small things on the periphery of the manor without anyone knowing, but if we head towards the main family or have ideas about the treasury, the situation will inevitably be different. Brother Tan, you must be calm. You are a bit too confident now."

Tan Bazhang scratched his head: "I know, I know... It's just that I haven't accepted a hero's invitation for a long time."

Liu Xiaolou smiled: "What does accepting a hero's invitation count for? Wait until one day, you and I, brothers, issue a hero's invitation, that will be a true hero."

Returning to the original place, Tiger-Headed Jiao was already impatient: "How was it?"

Liu Xiaolou first said to Liu Shi: "After this matter is resolved, I will naturally send the silver to you. Before that, please continue to stay here. If there is any more important news, we will come to contact you regularly. I also believe you won't have any ulterior motives. If the matter doesn't succeed, we will at most not do this business, but you and your Meiniang will have to die."

Liu Shi gritted his teeth and said: "I understand... but... fifteen hundred taels is too little!"

Liu Xiaolou smiled: "That depends on the news you provide. In short, I won't treat you unfairly. Take your woman away, can you keep her mouth shut?"

Liu Shi said: "Rest assured, although she is silly, she is not crazy."

Watching Liu Shi leave carrying Auntie Li, Liu Xiaolou took out three portraits from his bosom, all of the same person, and said to Su Jiuniang: "You can check on this person."

Under each portrait, the time Fengqiu accompanied him was marked. The first one was the tenth of the third month last year, the second was the thirteenth of the seventh month last year, and the time coincided with what Liu Shi said.

The third one was the twentieth of the third month this year. It seems he was quite satisfied with Fengqiu's accompaniment.

Liu Xiaolou said: "Looking at it this way, this person is very likely to come to the Yin family again in the seventh month, which is next month. With the portrait, it will be relatively easy to find him later. Brother Tiger, see if your Jiao family has any way to find this person... Brother Tan, please make another trip to Mount Tianmu..."

While assigning tasks, Su Jiuniang shook her head to stop him: "Alright, no need for now. I know this person. It's still the Ouyang clan of Yuezhou, he is Ouyang Yuancheng's cousin. I didn't expect it to be a relative of my Su family, stabbing their own people... Forget it, actually it's nothing. Our Danxia Sect itself, the Mao family and the Wang family, aren't they also eyeing our Su family?"

Tiger-Headed Jiao sighed: "It's still better for our Cai family and Jiao family, always friendly to fellow disciples, never doing anything forced or bullying."

Liu Xiaolou glanced at him: "Brother Tiger, are you sure?"

Tiger-Headed Jiao was full of confidence: "Of course!"

Liu Xiaolou didn't find it easy to tell him about Elder Cai, so he turned to Su Jiuniang and said: "Don't be so pessimistic, perhaps it's different from what you think. This Brother Ouyang in the portrait coming to the Yin family manor might just be selling other spiritual materials, unrelated to divine incense..."

Su Jiuniang said: "No, you don't know the situation of his family. The spiritual materials his family sells to the Yin family must be used to refine divine incense... Some things, you don't know when you don't say it, but it's actually like window paper, clear at a touch."

Liu Xiaolou said: "That doesn't necessarily mean the Ouyang clan is stabbing us in the back. People are just doing legitimate business, it's the Yin family that is coercing you. Go to Yuezhou to find your second sister, lay the matter out, and let her family know what the Yin family is doing. Wouldn't your second sister speak for you?"

Su Jiuniang thought for a while and finally nodded: "What you said makes sense, perhaps his family doesn't know the truth."

Tan Bazhang suggested from the side: "Jiuniang, if this trip to Yuezhou doesn't work out, don't worry. Our brothers are here. Tell us the details of the Ouyang family, and our brothers will issue a hero's invitation for you!"

Su Jiuniang suddenly smiled: "Thank you."

She certainly didn't believe this sentence, Liu Xiaolou didn't believe it either, Tiger-Headed Jiao believed it even less, and perhaps even Tan Bazhang himself didn't believe it. What kind of existence is the Ouyang clan of Yuezhou? If a hero's invitation were issued, who would dare to accept it?

But she was still moved by this heroic statement, and the previous listlessness disappeared without a trace.

As for the rest, Liu Xiaolou and the others couldn't really help much. Tiger-Headed Jiao could help more than Liu Xiaolou and Tan Bazhang. He was overjoyed and expressed his determination to follow Su Jiuniang to Yuezhou, but was naturally rejected. It's just that Su Jiuniang's rejection of him this time was not as cold as in the past, but with a bit more tact, saying a few warm words, which immediately made Tiger-Headed Jiao excited and tearful.

They parted ways there. Su Jiuniang hurried back to Mount Shenwu, having no heart to talk along the way. Liu Xiaolou didn't talk much either. Until they entered Mount Shenwu, Su Jiuniang seemed to have come back to her senses and said to Liu Xiaolou: "Thank you... Where did Tan Bazhang go?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "We are all one family. I am your brother-in-law anyway, what are you thanking me for? Brother Tan had something to do, we parted ways on the road, you walked too fast, I didn't have time to tell you... He is even more of a brother, no need to thank or not thank."

Returning to Yiling Hall, it was already broad daylight. Liu Xiaolou patted the big white goose's head and returned to the bedroom to rest. He made up for an hour of sleep and then got up lazily, but didn't see Susu.

This maid served him water and tea every morning and prepared food, spoiling him to be a bit lazy, and he wasn't used to it for a while, so he could only get up and tidy up himself.

Just as he put the willow branch dipped in salt into his mouth, he saw Susu run in, her face flushed red, not because of anxiety, but seemingly shy: "Is the Young Master back?"

Liu Xiaolou brushed his teeth and said: "Hmm... what happened to you?"

Susu said with a red face: "The Mistress asks you to go upstairs."

Didn't Su Wuniang say she was going to seclude herself in the Danxia Cave Heaven for a period of time? Why is she back? Liu Xiaolou looked up at the window on the second floor, and sure enough, Su Wuniang was standing behind the window, looking at him coldly.

The look is not kind!

Could it be that she found out about him sending Dong Wei to Linhu Garden? But he didn't show his face, unless Elder Cai and Tu Er told Dong Wei.

Damn it, is their mouth so loose? You guys do this kind of messy thing, and you still have the nerve to spread it everywhere? Anyway, this matter was plotted by that Dong fellow first, he just treated him the way he treated others, so he doesn't feel guilty!

Gulping and spitting out the mouthwash, Liu Xiaolou took the towel handed over by Susu, wiped his face clean, and followed her around to the front hall.

Su Wuniang was already sitting in the hall, glaring at Liu Xiaolou, waving her hands at Susu and Xiaohuan, signaling them to withdraw.

After the hall was clear, she suddenly slapped the table and scolded Liu Xiaolou angrily: "You are shameless!"

Liu Xiaolou thought to himself, sure enough, it was this matter, so he weighed his words and said: "Wuniang, listen to my explanation..."

Su Wuniang said angrily: "What else is there to explain? You actually stole my things, you..."

Liu Xiaolou was stunned: "This... Wuniang shouldn't talk nonsense..."

Su Wuniang's face was flushed red: "The evidence is solid, where is it nonsense?" With a flip of her hand, a bellyband inlaid with gold threads appeared in her palm: "Found it under your bed last night!"
