Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Doctor Shen knew that Shao Youyue was Shao Shuting’s younger sister. Although he did not know Shao Youyue’s identity, since Xue Yan had asked him, there must be a reason for it. Naturally, he would help. He had already reminded Shen Yuxuan to remember it.
However, when Shen Yuxuan heard the name Aunt Xiao, he couldn’t recall who it was. He was about to ask, but when he saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looking at him, his heart immediately trembled. Then, he came back to his senses and smiled at Liu Guixia. “Oh! Her…
Seeing that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were staring at him even more, he quickly changed his words. “I remember. Her! Haha.” His heart was empty as he spoke. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were so scary.
Since they pretended to know each other, Shen Yuxuan obviously had to go to the small house at the back to see Shao Youyue. It was not rude of him to do so. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan accompanied him.
Shen Yuxuan followed Jiang Yue and Xue Yan as he asked in a low voice, “That lady… Uh. Who is Aunt Xiao?”
“We know who she is, but it’s not good to tell you.”
“Oh, okay.” Shen Yuxuan stopped asking. Although he was still very curious, a scholar should not make things difficult for others. It would be too rude. Moreover, this was his good friend. He should not make things difficult for his good friend.
Jiang Yue continued walking calmly.
Shen Yuxuan looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh. “Jiang Yue, you’re already four years old. At first, I thought you grew, but now that you’re wrapped in this cloak, you’re even shorter than before.”
Without waiting for Jiang Yue to speak, Shen Yuxuan, who was thinking a little differently, immediately spoke up.
“By the way, let me tell you. When I went out to come here today, I met a few people riding horses with knives on their waists. They stopped at the Wei family’s entrance… It’s Wei Zizhan’s house. His house is right next to mine.
“Xue Yan, you should know that. They asked where the Wei family had gone and why the door was locked. They even said that they were distant relatives who had come to seek refuge with the Wei family.
“However, they did not expect that because they had not moved for many years, they did not even know that they were no longer in Pingan Town.
“Then, I told them that Wei Zizhan’s brother went to Changyu to be a County Magistrate and brought his entire family there. From their looks, it seemed like they would go to Changyu to look for him. I tried to persuade them, saying that their family had evil intentions, but they didn’t listen. They said that they had nowhere else to go.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both felt that it was a little strange. If they were riding horses to look for the Wei family’s people, then there was nothing strange about it, but why were they all equipped with knives?
Obviously, they weren’t ordinary people.
Were those people really distant relatives of the Wei family?
At this point, Shen Yuxuan had obviously told them everything he knew. Even if they asked anything, Shen Yuxuan would not know how to answer, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not ask anything anymore.
Shen Yuxuan continued, “The people in Changyu have been there for about a
month. They should be there by now. But I heard that Changyu is especially cold every winter. Sometimes, the river is frozen. The boats can’t cross it for a while. They might not be there yet.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded in agreement.
“Xue Yan, regardless of whether they arrive or not, you will definitely be able to get your jade pendant back. I heard that one of the teachers wrote a letter to the County Magistrate there. If Wei Zizhan is unwilling to return it, we will ask the County Magistrate to handle things.” Shen Yuxuan said happily.
Shen Yuxuan wanted to say something, but he suddenly saw the door of the small room in the middle open. A good-looking sister walked out with a small tea tray in her hand..
