Chapter 614: Different Surname
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan stood at the entrance of the shop. When they saw that Shao Zhongxi had gone far away, they turned around and returned to the shop. They told Xue Sifu that the man in red was Shao Shutings second brother.
That was all.
However, Xue Sifu was shrewd and not so easy to deal with. He immediately asked in a low voice, “Shao Shuting is a General, so what kind of official is his second brother? Based on his posture, he doesn’t look like someone without status.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, and it was still Jiang Yue who told the truth, “He’s like a prince with a different surname.”
“A different surname?!” Xue Sifu stuttered. He didn’t know if he was supposed to act excited or afraid.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue lied. In any case, Xue Sifu wouldn’t verify this information either.
Xue Sifu was originally an ordinary farmer. Now, he was a small merchant.
Even if he used to be a waiter, he only knew that they had a king. How could he know which king was which king? Therefore, when he heard about this fact, he did not ask anything but asked something else, “Then why did he come in through the back door? Why did he come here?”
Speaking of this, Xue Sifu also remembered something. Without waiting for Jiang Yue to answer, he quickly asked with concern, “Jiang Yue, did you have diarrhea today? Why did it take you so long in the toilet? Do you want to go and see Doctor Shen?”
Xue Yan immediately looked elsewhere, afraid that Jiang Yue would look at him again.
Jiang Yue was speechless. No need, I just squatted a little too long.”
Then, as if changing the topic, she replied to Xue Sifu’s initial worry, which were naturally lies, “I came out of the toilet and washed my hands. I was about to go to the front with Xue Yan when two people appeared at the door of the backyard. After Xue Yan asked, we found out their ident.i.ties and came in from the back door. He didn’t do anything. That prince just came to thank me and Xue Yan, saying that Xue Yan and I saved his younger brother. No one in the family came to thank us before, and he happened to pa.s.s by here.”
“I see.” Xue Sifu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. “That person was actually a prince. Then was the girl behind him his maid? I thought she was his wife. Both of them were dressed in red, it looked like wedding clothes.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t know who she was either. They both shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t know.
It was only when Xue Sifu stopped asking and went to greet the guests that Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan and asked calmly, “Do you think he will come again?
Xue Yan was still a little embarra.s.sed from the previous scene. He touched his nose again before saying softly, “He’s paranoid by nature, and very few things can escape his eyes. What he knows now wouldn’t be enough to make him completely let go of his suspicions about us. Regardless of whether he comes again or not, we’re already on his radar. He’ll always remember us, and he might even send someone to keep an eye on us from now on.”
“It’s fine if he keeps an eye on us.” Jiang Yue didn’t mind. “After what I did, he might not send anyone else in the future.”
Xue Yan was speechless. “That works too.”
Shao Zhongxi knew that Jiang Yue was very skilled.
As for Shao Zhongxi’s suspicion and the fact that they were now on his radar, it was actually not a big deal. They would not lose out on anything either. So what if he was suspicious?
However, the current development had already deviated greatly from his initial plans.
Unwittingly, Xue Yan sighed silently in his heart again.
Indeed, plans could never keep up with changes..
