Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Zhao Xueying had just arrived in Jiangnan when she ran into the incident with Zhang Yijing and the others. She was extremely annoyed as a good outing was ruined by them.

After the funeral, she went to Xie Jin's courtyard, wanting her cousin Jin to accompany her for a walk. However, she went to his place two or three times, but he was not there each time, and she didn't know where he had gone!
When Xie Jin was not around, Zhao Xueying instantly lost most of her desire to go out and play. She no longer thought about going out to play and just stayed in the yard all day long.

Fortunately, just when she was about to be unable to bear it, Xie Jin, who had disappeared for many days, appeared.

Zhao Xueying saw the person at the door and ran towards him happily: "Cousin Jin, why are you here?"

When Zhao Xueying rushed over, Xie Jin took a step back without leaving a trace, looked at her with a smile and said, "Come and see you."

When Zhao Xueying heard this, her heartbeat instantly accelerated. She blushed and looked at him shyly: "Cousin~~"

Xie Jin's scalp tightened a little, and he interrupted her: "I'm leaving for Beijing, do you want to go with me or stay here?"

When Zhao Xueying heard that he was leaving, she frowned reluctantly. Then, when she heard him ask her to go with him, her brows relaxed in joy. She nodded desperately and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll go with cousin Jin."

Xie Jin frowned. What did he mean by "follow him!" He was just going with Zhao Shu and taking her with him!

"Then remember to go with Shu'er to the old lady tomorrow morning to let her know."

Zhao Xueying said nonchalantly: "Just send someone to tell grandma, and my sister must want to stay here for a few more days, so there's no need to ask her to go with us."

Xie Jin's brows knitted tightly in an instant, and he emphasized, "Let's go together! And we have to tell the old lady too!"

Zhao Xueying looked at his unhappy expression and pouted: "Oh." Let's go together. It doesn't make much difference if there is one more or one less person.

After Xie Jin finished what he wanted to say, he didn't give Zhao Xueying a chance to speak again and left without looking back.

Zhao Xueying shouted twice from behind, but Xie Jin ignored her, so she couldn't help but stomped her feet in anger.

Zhao Shu was not woken up by A Ling in the morning, nor was she woken up naturally. Instead, she was woken up by a series of incessant knocks on the door!

When she opened the door and saw Zhao Xueying standing gracefully at her door, she sighed sincerely. Xie Jin's speed of work could only be described in one word: fast!
Zhao Shu didn't waste any time. After getting dressed and washing up, she went to her grandmother's yard with Zhao Xueying.

After all the previous ordeal, Mrs. Jin’s energy was no longer as high as before, and she even had to eat breakfast in bed.

When Zhao Shu and the others went in, Old Mrs. Jin had just finished her breakfast.

When Old Lady Jin saw the two of them, she smiled and waved, asking them to come over.

Zhao Xueying immediately stepped forward, sat beside the bed, and leaned her whole body on Old Lady Jin. Zhao Shu also followed and stood beside the bed in an orderly manner.

"Grandma, Xueying misses you so much!" Zhao Xueying said coquettishly.

Old Lady Jin patted her shoulder with the hand that was around her: "I have seen it."

"But I have to go," Zhao Xueying looked up at Old Lady Jin reluctantly; "I've been out long enough. If I don't go back, my mother will be worried."

Mrs. Jin hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's right, your mother is pregnant, you can't worry too much."

Old Mrs. Jin extended her other hand to Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu immediately handed her hand over.

Old Lady Jin held the two sisters' hands, one on each side, and made them clasp their hands together: "You sisters should discuss everything together, and don't let small things make you alienated."

Zhao Shu knew that cousin Yi Jing's incident had dealt her a great blow, so she looked at her seriously and nodded: "Grandma, I will always keep your words in mind."

Old Lady Jin looked at Zhao Xueying, who curled her lips and said, "Me too."

After getting their assurances, Old Lady Jin smiled with relief: "That's good, that's good."

Zhao Shu and the others chatted with Old Lady Jin about this and that, but in the end the old lady waved her hand impatiently: "Go away, go away, little girls always like to come here to me, I am annoyed by you!"

Zhao Shu and the others were driven out. When the door was closed, Zhao Shu suddenly turned around and looked behind her. The gray-haired old lady Jin was leaning against the head of the bed. The wrinkles on her face told of the years, and her eyes were full of kindness. She just watched them leave.

When Mrs. Jin saw Zhao Shu turning around, she smiled and waved at her. The moment the door closed, Mrs. Jin's mouth moved. Although no sound was heard, Zhao Shu still understood from her lip shape that it was the words "Let's go".

Zhao Shu didn't know why, but she suddenly felt sad at that moment. At that moment, she wanted to push open the door, rush to her, hug her and say to her: "I won't leave, I will stay with you."

But she didn't
In the capital city, a man wearing a straw hat and ragged clothes walked by quickening his pace because of the sour and foul smell emanating from him.

Yes, it is very common for a beggar to have a sour smell, but what about that foul smell?

A thick hemp rope was tied around the man's waist and abdomen. He was pulling a box behind him with all his strength. Although everyone disliked the smell on him, they couldn't help but look back at his box while walking. They were all curious about what was in his box.

At night, the man dragged the box to a long-abandoned temple. After putting the box away, he went outside to pick up some dry firewood. While he was picking up firewood, the box and the body of the box were already covered with rats.

The mice were gnawing at the wooden box with a crunching sound, as if there was something inside the box that was tempting them.

The man didn't care. He waved away the rat on the side of the box with his hand, then fell asleep with his back against the box.

There was a rustling sound of wind outside the temple, and suddenly, the sound of birds was heard, followed by the sound of birds fluttering and flying away from the branches.

A cold chill came from the neck, and the man was instantly awakened from his sleep. His body leaned back by inertia and fell on the box.

The mice squeaked as they were pressed, and used their four paws to run to the corner. A strong smell of urine came from below the man, and when he looked down, he found that the man had peed himself out of fear.

"I, I am Qian, Boss Qian's man." The man stammered.

The man wanted to move the sword away from him, but before his fingertips touched the sword, the sword was pressed against his throat.

The man was so scared that he closed his eyes and shouted, "Qian, Boss Qian is dead. Someone murdered him!"

The men in black looked at each other and retracted the swords that were pointed at the man.

"Is what you said true?" asked the man in black.

"It's true, it's true," the man nodded quickly, propped up the box with his arms and stood up, then patted the box again: "I put Boss Qian's body in there."

"Open the box."

The man kept responding: “Hey, hey.”

After the box was opened, a strong stench hit me in the face.

The man in black frowned and took a look inside the box. There was a dead body lying inside, a dead body that had been cut into several pieces. Those pieces were crawling with maggots.

Using the scabbard, he turned the corpse's face over, and it was Boss Qian.

The man in black sheathed his sword and said to the man, "Take the box and come with us!"

The man quickly closed the box, and somehow he found the strength to pick it up, and followed.

Several people came to a mansion. They walked through the courtyard from the back door and finally stopped in front of a door.

The man in black knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

The door was pushed open and the man followed in carrying the box.

The man heard the man in black say, "Sir, the person is here!"

The man carefully raised his head and looked at the person inside, but unfortunately there was a screen between them, so he could only see the person's back vaguely.

The man in black said, "Sir, Young Master Qian..."

The person behind the screen said, "You can say whatever you want."

"Mr. Qian is gone!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a long silence. After a long while, the person behind the screen spoke up: "Take the person away and place him properly. Place the body properly as well."

"Yes!"

The man followed the man in black. When he turned the corner, he heard the sound of cups breaking and falling to the ground. Then he heard someone say in a deep voice, "Let the scenery of Jiangnan send him off for the last time!"

Zhao Shu and her companions set off early the next morning. This time there was one more person on the carriage, Mian Ru.

When Zhao Shu came out from Old Lady Jin's place, she turned around and went to Mian Ru.

After arriving at Mianru's house and explaining her purpose, Mianru immediately said that she was also going to the capital, but was delayed because of some things. She also asked if she could go on the journey with Zhao Shu and the others?
Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment. Mianru was also one of the kidnapped women. If she stayed alone in Jiangnan, that group of people might come looking for her again. It would be safer for her to go to the capital with them.

Considering this, Zhao Shu nodded and agreed to her.

So, there were four people on the carriage back to the city this time, Zhao Shu, Zhao Xueying, Mianru and A Ling.

Zhao Xueying occupied one side of the carriage alone, while Zhao Shu and the others sat opposite her. Zhao Xueying lifted the curtain with force and leaned her face slightly toward the window. Her irritable mood only improved after she saw the tall figure of Jun Ma.

"Cousin Jin, are you hungry? I have some dried meat." Zhao Xueying looked at him eagerly.

Xie Jin tilted his head towards the carriage and saw a trace of fatigue on Zhao Shu's face. He frowned quickly and drove his horse to the front of the team. After a while, the whole team stopped.

Xie Jin returned to the carriage and said in a deep voice to the people inside: "It's already noon, let's get off first to eat something and rest before continuing on our journey."

When Zhao Xueying heard this, she immediately got off the carriage happily, took some dry food and went to Xie Jin.
