The weak princess is super fierce

"Really not necessary?" Kite thought the shopkeeper was being polite.

Shopkeeper Yu nodded and said: "It is rare for mother and son to return to their parents' home, so they take this opportunity to stay for a while and be filial to their father-in-law and mother-in-law. That is also good."

At this point, Kite said nothing more.

Meng Shisan then talked about Shopkeeper Liu’s whereabouts.

"What I told Miss Kite yesterday is indeed true." Shopkeeper Yu dared not lie when his son's life was in Kite's hands. He just had a slight reservation, "However, before Lao Liulin left, Leave something here with me and tell me that if he dies, the person who kills him will definitely be the owner of that thing."

"What?" Meng Shisan asked.

"Wait a minute, boss, I'll get it." Shopkeeper Yu put the things in his bedroom and kept them tightly.

After a while, he took out a painting of a valley.

There is nothing else.

Meng Shisan looked at the painting again and again: "Does Shopkeeper Liu have anything left to say?"

"No." Shopkeeper Yu couldn't understand Shopkeeper Liu's intention of leaving this painting. "My boss is looking for Lao Liu. Did Lao Liu commit something?"

"My second brother accidentally broke an inkstone in Kunzheng Pavilion. Shopkeeper Liu said that it was an antique, but it was worthless. As long as my second brother paid ten taels of silver." Meng Shisan roughly explained the origin of the matter. Next, "After my second brother bought the inkstone that broke in half, he fell ill when he returned home. I asked Kite to find Shopkeeper Liu, and I also wanted to ask specifically about the provenance of the inkstone. I didn't know where the inkstone came from, but I couldn't find it. When I got to Shopkeeper Liu, I finally tracked it down here, but I didn’t expect that Shopkeeper Liu’s whereabouts were also cut off.”

Shopkeeper Yu could understand half of Meng Shisan's words: "My boss felt that there was a connection between the inkstone that the second young master broke in Kunzheng Pavilion and the later incident when the second young master returned home and fell ill, so he had to find it. Can’t you do it, Lao Liu?”

"That's right." Meng Shisan said, "Can you help me look for it?"

Shopkeeper Yu was of course obligated: "Even if my boss doesn't tell me, I still have to look for Lao Liu. To be honest with my boss, Lao Liu left in a hurry and left this painting behind. He also said something about his death. , I felt a little uneasy. When Kite Girl found me here yesterday, I refused to tell the truth at first because I was afraid that Kite Girl was here to take Lao Liu’s life. Then... I have to say. After that, I was worried when I went to bed at night. I couldn’t close my eyes all night.”

When he lay down last night, he was not only worried that his wife and children's lives would be threatened again, but also worried that Lao Liu, who seemed to be leaving his last words to him, would really never come back.

"Shopkeeper Liu can come to you at the last moment, give you such a painting, and leave life-threatening words, which shows that he trusts you." Meng Shisan felt that Shopkeeper Liu should have realized it himself. His life was in danger, so he did not go home or go back to Kunzheng Pavilion. Instead, he hid around and left shopkeeper Yu something like a message before his death, which further illustrates this point, "In my opinion, he must be in danger now." Very. If I could find him earlier, I might be able to protect him, but I might be able to save his life. Otherwise... it would be worse."

Shopkeeper Yu couldn't figure out the connection, but he really didn't know where shopkeeper Liu would go for a while: "Lao Liu and I are old acquaintances. Besides me, there are two other old friends. They are all close friends who get along well on weekdays and often communicate with each other. According to my boss, it is still important to find Lao Liu quickly. My boss will sit down for a while while I go to the other two old friends’ shops to ask. I will be back soon! "

Meng Shisan stood up to stop Shopkeeper Yu who was about to run out after saying this: "Don't worry, you have to ask, but don't show any suspicious signs. If someone really wants to kill Shopkeeper Liu, that person will definitely know about you and Shopkeeper Liu Friendship, maybe right now, there are eyes of that person staring at Mingyue Di shop around the outside of Di shop. You need to go to two other old friends to ask, this is okay, but don’t panic too much. You need to be more relaxed, just like in the past, you have the right to go and have tea with your old friends when you have nothing to do, that's all." "Yes..." Shopkeeper Yu pressed his heart, he was indeed too eager, This is not good, it is easy for others to spot the clues. He tried to calm down his heart that was beating violently due to worry and anxiety, and said calmly, "My boss is right! It happened that the guest house was full in the past two days for merchants to stack their goods. Their warehouse was also a little short of space, so I took this as an excuse to find them. I have asked them if they have access to this before, but it is normal for me to ask now."

"Bring a small gift." Meng Shisan added.

Shopkeeper Yu nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

As soon as he left, there were only three masters and servants of Meng Shisan in the side room.

Before the shopkeeper left, he did not forget to tell the waiter guarding the counter in front of the shop that if Meng Shisan had any orders, he must not neglect them.

"Kite, you go and follow the shopkeeper quietly." Meng Shisan waited until the shopkeeper had left for a few seconds before he ordered, "If nothing happens, that's the best. If something happens, shopkeeper Yu and his two old friends Your life must be saved."

"No." Kite understood that the young lady was afraid that not only Shopkeeper Liu's life would be in danger, but Shopkeeper Yu and his old friends who had been in contact with Shopkeeper Liu would also be affected.

Baozhu asked after the kite left, "Miss, do you think the origin of that gecko inkstone is extraordinary?"

"Even if the second brother is the unpopular eldest son of the second concubine, he is still the second son of the Meng family. If he has an ordinary family, he would not dare to stretch his hand so long, so unscrupulously and viciously." Meng Shisan is now. It is more likely that my brother's evil spell was caused by someone deliberately targeting him.

As for whether it is the Meng family, her, or the brother himself who is targeted, we have to continue to dig deeper to find out the answer.

The waiter kept in mind the shopkeeper's words, and from time to time he went to the side room in the small courtyard at the back to refill the tea and serve refreshments. He looked around the side room in front of the shop and was very busy.

Meng Shisan has never been short of money since he took over the Zeng family's dowry. The situation in the past when he couldn't even eat enough and had to go to Qiushui Lake to catch koi to eat is gone forever.

However, she has been busy with other things and has never seriously inspected the Shili Hongzhuang she inherited from her mother.

What is the business of the Di store? In the past, when she came into the world and was short of money, she had lived in it. It mainly consisted of three parts: guest house, warehouse, and shop front.

The guest house is for food and accommodation, the warehouse is for merchants to stock goods, and the food utensils are sold in front of the shop. The environment is not as good as that of an inn, and most of the guests who come in are ordinary people who want to save some money.

She still remembers the days when she was greedy for cheap and lived in Di's Inn. There were always loud noises at night, making it difficult to sleep well.

There was a mixed bag of people living here, and there was a blind ruffian who played a gangster on her, and she gave her a hard lesson on how to behave.
