After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 271 Secretly Raising
But she succeeded in scaring the shop owner. After all, although only a very few people are willing to go to the government office for such a small matter, what if this old lady is such a troublemaker?

Old Lady Gu continued, "Let me tell you, someone I know is working in the government office right now!"

Old Mrs. Gu said this without blushing or feeling nervous, nor did she feel that she was lying. After all, Li Yaren and Xie Xingchuan were people she knew, and they were indeed handling the transfer of the house at the government office.

The shop owner couldn't afford to gamble, and he was in the wrong in the first place, so after hearing such words, he didn't dare to argue anymore.

Old Mrs. Gu carried the copper basin that she had successfully replaced and left with her three children in a rage.

After Xie Xingchuan's house was almost ready, the group headed back.

After listening to the Shen brothers and sisters scolding the profiteers, Old Lady Gu said:
"Next time you receive something, you must check it on the spot. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain it clearly. When I was young, I saw people holding dead babies to doctors for examination. Once the doctors took the children, they would extort money from them."

When the Shen brothers and sisters heard this, their eyes widened.

Shen Changfeng had experienced some hardships, but Shen Ling simply grew up in an ivory tower and had never heard of such a thing.

Niuniu nodded vigorously at this time and said, "Daddy also said this. He told me to check everything I receive, even if it's my own stuff. When Daddy took an exam before, someone threw a small piece of paper into the exam basket. If it hadn't been discovered in time, he would have been considered cheating."

When the Shen brothers and sisters heard this, they also felt a lingering fear.

As they were talking, they had already arrived near Xie Xingchuan's newly bought house.

Shen Ling suddenly stopped.

She saw a young man in a black shirt.

The man had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. The setting sun shone on him, as if coating his entire body with a layer of golden light.

Shen Ling couldn't help but stare in amazement.

The young man was fine in every way, but he seemed a little weak. When he passed by, he suddenly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

This slightly weak physique made Shen Ling feel a little strange.

After the man completely disappeared around the corner, Old Lady Gu lowered her voice and muttered to the children, "What a pity."

Niuniu was puzzled and asked, "What's a pity?"

Old Mrs. Gu looked back, hinting at the young man who had just left.

"Old lady, I heard people talk about this when I was young. A man like this who coughs for no reason, he..."

Old Mrs. Gu kept the matter in suspense on purpose.

Shen Ling's heart was hanging in the air, and she asked, "Grandma Gu, what happened to him?"

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Shen Ling in surprise.

Shen Ling realized that his concern seemed a bit excessive and immediately lowered his head.

Old Lady Gu continued, "A man who coughs for no reason can't have children!"

"Cough cough cough!" When Shen Changfeng heard this turn of events, he suddenly let out a shocking cough.

But the next second, facing the surprised looks of the people around him, he quickly covered his mouth and explained: "I can have children! I just coughed because of what grandma said. I don't cough often!"

Old Lady Gu didn't bully him. Instead, she touched Shen Changfeng's little head and said, "Yes, yes, our Changfeng is in good health."

"What is the old lady talking about? Is there something funny?"

It happened that Li Yaren and Xie Xingchuan were doing some good work at the government office, and just as they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw this large family gathered there.

Old Mrs. Gu said casually, "A young man just passed by. He looked very respectable. We were just talking about him." When Li Yaren heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After he pulled the others into the house Xie Xingchuan had just bought, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the young master looks respectable. In fact, he has a mistress!"

Everyone present widened their eyes.

There was excitement in the eyes of Old Mrs. Gu, Niu Niu and Shen Changfeng.

Even Xie Xingchuan pricked up his ears and leaned forward slightly.

"This man looks well-dressed, but I didn't expect he would be this kind of person!" Old Mrs. Gu sighed.

Shen Changfeng tilted his head at this time, and said belatedly: "This person looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere."

But when he came to his senses, he saw that everyone, including Niu Niu, was staring at him with eyes like light bulbs, and he was immediately startled.

"Why are you looking at me?" Shen Changfeng was puzzled.

Niuniu said obediently: "Brother Changfeng, we are waiting for you to remember who this person is."

Shen Changfeng: ...

Shen Changfeng had a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he was frightened by everyone's words and immediately waved his hand: "Don't wait, I can't remember it."

Everyone immediately looked disappointed, and turned to look at Li Yaren with inquiring eyes.

Li Yaren continued, "This young man moved here last month. He bought the house from Cao Yaren. On the day of moving, he saw a young woman with a veil being supported by someone walking into the house. After that, he never saw the woman leave the house."

"But the neighbors also said that someone in the house kept a stove, and servants went out every day to buy expensive food. But when the nosy neighbors came to inquire, the servants in the house insisted that there was no master living there."

"When people in that house have disputes with their neighbors, they usually give in. This kind of conciliatory style is not the style of a wealthy family at all."

The brokers would occasionally exchange information with each other, and they all knew exactly which houses had been sold and which had not.

Li Yaren, who was always running around the streets, was able to piece together the facts through gossip.

"It is said that the mistress this young master secretly kept might be the descendant of a criminal official!"

He lowered his voice and threw out a big thunder, shocking everyone.

"After secretly raising a criminal, I never knew that he was so bold despite being unable to have children!" Old Mrs. Gu couldn't help but sigh.

Most of the women in the families of criminals were sent to the Music Bureau. Occasionally, there were a few who escaped. If they were discovered to be secretly raising children, the people who helped hide them would be charged with harboring fugitives.

"I never thought that this young man, who looks like a decent human being, is actually an outlaw!" Shen Changfeng said softly.

Shen Ling turned and glanced at his brother.

With the infertility in front and the lawless criminal behind, Shen Ling's initial feeling of strangeness when seeing the young man finally disappeared completely.

Li Yaren was a cautious person, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he added a patch: "These are just speculations. No one can say for sure whether there are fugitives being harbored."

Old Lady Gu nodded. She was old and experienced, so she naturally understood Li Yaren's concerns and comforted him, "Don't worry, there are so many of us, and we are all tight-lipped. No one will go to the authorities for nothing."

Li Yaren felt relieved.

Shen Changfeng suddenly shouted.

"I remembered who he was!"
