I don’t know if Miss Shen wants to listen to love words. Anyway, Yue Man is unwilling to act anymore. The two of them moaned on the bed for a while, thinking that the fate of so many people was still hanging on her, they suddenly felt like thorns. I can't even sit still anymore.

During the moment when they hesitated and struggled, the sky was bright and dark, dark and bright, and the passage of time in the illusion was unreasonable. It all depended on how the owner of the illusion arranged it. No one knew how many springs and autumns had passed in this blink of an eye.

"Tuk-tuk-"

A maid knocked on the door and said in a casual voice, "Uncle, there is a distinguished guest coming to the door. Please go see me."

Ruan Li: "It's you again?"

Yue Man: "Me again?"

She muttered and got out of bed, feeling that she had become an unlucky character, seeing this and that every day.

Ruan Li watched the door being closed, and the strange feeling became more and more intense.

This Shen Mansion belongs to Miss Shen. Even if the bridegroom comes in, he won't get much power. Why don't one or two guests come to see Miss Shen now, but let the uncle who knocked on the door to see him?
Also a distinguished guest...

Ruan Li guessed that the current person in charge of the Shen family has become the new uncle, but she didn't know whether Miss Shen intended to delegate power or the new uncle intended to seize power.

She couldn't waste time in this bedroom, so she opened the door and walked out of the yard. As soon as she stepped out of the door threshold, several people who looked like maids came around, "Miss, where are you going?"

Ruan Li glanced at them and said, "I want to go outside for a walk."

The maid lowered her head, "My uncle has given me orders. You are not in good health and it is inconvenient to move around."

The uncle, the uncle, it seems that the uncle is more important than the young lady in their eyes.

Something was wrong. Ruan Li remembered that the maids she met when she first came to Shen's Mansion were all young ladies. They were obviously very attracted to Miss Shen, and their attitude was completely different from now.

Ruan Li said patiently, "I won't run around, I just want to visit my uncle and help him organize his things."

The maids looked at each other and their tone became hesitant, "My uncle doesn't like you to go to his study."

Ruan Li exclaimed, what the hell is this bitch doing? He doesn't care about Miss Shen, so the Phoenix Man must have run away.

"He himself said he allowed me to go. If you stop me again, I will file a complaint and let him punish you."

When she mentioned the word "punishment", the maids visibly trembled, as if they were very afraid. Ruan Li's suspicion became more certain that this uncle was not a good person.

The maid asked cautiously, "When did I say yes?"

Ruan Li's expression remained unchanged: "In bed, men in bed are always easy to talk to, you know."

Maids: "..."

I don't understand, and I don't want to understand.

Ruan Li's nonsense worked. The maids no longer blocked her and honestly took Ruan Li to Phoenix Man's study.

The decoration of the study room is relatively classical and old-fashioned, with bookshelves placed on all sides. It seems that this study room should have been used by Mr. Shen in the past, and then fell into the hands of Phoenix Man.

Ruan Li was not polite and rummaged around in the study. There was a drawer with a lock and she smashed it open without hesitation. The noise was shocking, but the maids did not come in to check.

"what is this?"

Ruan Li held a stack of letters that she found. The letters were obviously very important as they were locked in the box, but she didn't recognize any of the characters on them. They felt like foreign characters.

Is this Phoenix man still a foreigner?Why haven't you heard anyone mention it?Something feels wrong.

Since it is a letter, then there is another person on the other side. Did Phoenix Man communicate with his family members?But why should ordinary family letters be locked? Locking means that you don’t want others to see it. If you don’t want to be seen by others but don’t burn it on fire and keep it well, it means that the letter is not convenient for others to know. Phoenix Man himself kept some useful ones.

What kind of letter can satisfy such conditions?

Ruan Li opened the door to the study and casually called a maid over, "Is your uncle a foreigner?"

The maid was stunned when asked, shook her head and said, "How is that possible? My uncle has a handsome face, his family comes from a scholarly family, and he is a genuine local."

Ruan Li took out the letters and showed them to the maid, "Is this a letter written by your uncle? What's the text in it?"

The maids identified it carefully. They were not well educated and did not recognize these characters, but they could tell what kind of font it was.

She categorically denied, "This can't be written by my uncle. These are the characters of the Yi people. How could my uncle write the characters of the Yi people?"

"Yi people?"

Ruan Li has lived in Penglai for too long and knows almost nothing about things in the mortal world. He doesn't know what ethnic groups there are in these people's world, and he has never heard of this Yi tribe.

The maid explained, "The Yi people are ferocious in nature and like to plunder. They have no fixed residence. They live and stay in whatever land they grab. They don't do any work. After eating the food, they go to other places to plunder. They are an ignorant and violent people. , our master hated these Yi people deeply when he was here."

After listening to her introduction, Ruan Li lowered her head and looked at the letter in her hand, feeling a little unsure again.

This is definitely a letter between someone and the Yi tribe, but it is unclear whether it was written by Phoenix Man. Without knowing the content of the letter, it is difficult to determine what role Phoenix Man played in it.

Ruan Li returned to the bedroom with these letters. Not long after, Yue Man came back, with a bored look on his face, "The old man talked about a lot of business matters in a long way. How could I possibly understand him?"

"what business?"

Yue Man: "It seems that we are going to do some horse business. We have agreed to deliver the horses next month and ask the Shen family to remember to inform the people guarding the city gate to release them in time. The city seems to have quite strict controls on outsiders. .”

It sounded like nothing special, but Ruan Li's eyelids twitched, "Horses? Why did the Shen Mansion suddenly order horses?"

"Who knows, maybe there is a shortage of horses in the city."

Yue Man muttered, "The Shen Mansion's sphere of influence is quite large. They can even control the opening and closing of the city gates. I'm afraid the city's surname is Shen."

She asked, “Did you get anything out of it?”

Ruan Li took out the letter and said, "I found a stack of letters in Phoenix Man's study."

"Another letter? Our division of labor is pretty clear. I see foreigners all the time, and you keep looking for things."

Ruan Li handed the letter over and said with a disappointed tone, "I found it, but I can't understand the content of the letter, and I don't know if it's Phoenix Man's handwriting."

It feels like the thread has been broken again.

Yue Man opened the letter and glanced at it a few times, "Can't you read it? Although the font looks like an earthworm crawling, can I understand it?"

After saying that, she herself was confused, "It's strange, how can I understand it?"

Ruan Li Liyu got up from the bed, "Do you understand??!"

Do you understand this?
