"Mother! Mother!"

  Xie Hong rushed all the way into the main courtyard and burst into the ear-room where Wang Shi was. Panting, he said: "Do you know who I just saw in Li Zi Alley?"

  Wang's wife pinched his shoulder with her fingers and was meditating with her eyes closed. Hearing this, she didn't even open her eyes and said: "Who did you run into?"

  Xie Hong crouched down to the ground, holding onto the bed frame and said: "I saw Li Ershun, he was pulling and tugging at Luo Sheng, it seemed like he was asking him for something. From the looks of it, it wasn't a sudden visit, but rather it seemed like he often went there."

  "Li Ershun?" Wang suddenly opened her eyes, since the matter with Zhao's family was over, she had almost thrown this person to the back of her mind. "Did you see what he said to Luo Sheng?"

  "Across the street, I didn't quite catch it. However, that expression was very suspicious." Xie Hong said.

  Wang sat up, waved his hand to let the maids retreat, and thought: "Luo Sheng is just a low-ranking servant, what can he do for him? He only asked Lang Ge and others. Since he often goes to the shop, it can be seen that he still has dealings with the second house. San Yaotou beat her like that, what did he go to the second house for?"

  "Don't mind him for now!" Xie Hong saw that no one was around, so he stood up and sat down on the edge of the bed, saying: "Mother, aren't you suspecting that someone in the Zhao family secretly switched the Wang family's horoscope? This Li Ershun has been secretly meeting with the second wife, and when you and the Zhao family discussed it before, it was also about letting Langge go to apologize. Don't you think that Langge had Li Ershun steal and switch the horoscope?"

  Wang heard this and her body shook, "Right! Besides the people in our mansion, who would know so clearly about Rong's birthday? - No!" She suddenly frowned again, "This Li Ershun obviously hated the second house to death, how could he go and do things for Lang again?"

  Xie Hong thought for a moment and said: "Maybe it was when they heard that Lord Zhao came to their door looking for trouble, they secretly gave him a lot of money?"

  "Impossible!" Mr. Wang shook his head: "Li Ershun, that scoundrel, can't be bought off with just money. Without someone with a strong hand, he can't be controlled. How could Lang's old master have been blackmailed by him during the mourning period if he could be bought off? Even if Lang gave him money, he would probably come back for more."

  Xie Hong also couldn't understand it, "What could be the reason?"

  "Wang said thoughtfully: 'Go and investigate again, keep a close eye on it.'"

  Luo Xiang returned home in the evening and eventually told Xie Wan about what Li Ershun had come to ask for.

  Xie Wan was silent for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a problem. He has several kilograms and Zhao Zhen can try to probe him a few times to figure it out naturally. This person is very afraid of death, and if he's scared by Zhao Zhen, he'll reveal everything. Let him come to the shop tomorrow, I have something to say to him."

  The next day in the late afternoon, Xie Wan brought Wu Xing and Yu Xue to Li Zi's alley.

  Li Ershun arrived as scheduled and went upstairs to kneel down and pay his respects to Xie Yu.

  Xie Wan said: "I know your difficulties, but now you are Zhao Daren's person, without a reason, I also can't easily go to the mansion to ask for you."

  Li Ershun hastily knelt down and took two steps forward: "Miss, you are cleverer than anyone else, you must be able to think of a way! Please, Miss, save me!"

  Xie Wan raised an eyebrow, playing with a pen in her hand and said: "Since you're sincere about wanting to leave, I can help you. However, you'll still need to stay at the Zhao residence for a while longer. Once this matter is settled, I'll think of a way to get you out."

  Li Ershun hastily said: "What's the matter, Miss? Just give me your orders."

  Xie Wan said: "When the time comes, I will tell you. At most half a year, there will be news."

  Li Ershun thought for a moment and then said with a bitter face: "It's been half a year, what if the little one makes a mistake during this time?"

  Xie Wan said, "If you're caught, just admit your mistake. If someone intimidates you, no matter what, you can't reveal the things I told you to do. Lord Zhao already holds the power of law enforcement, he naturally won't believe that you were following the orders of a child like me, at that time relying on the prestige of the Xie family, I will be able to protect myself, as for you, I'll be powerless."

  Li Ershun was shocked to hear this, how dare he have any other thoughts? He hastily said: "I will naturally not utter a single word, but Miss must remember to get me out as soon as possible!"

  Xie Wan smiled: "Definitely."

  Li Ershun went downstairs, and Shen Tian walked up: "Miss, it seems that there has been someone staring at us from across the street."

  Xie Wan stood up and looked in the direction he was pointing, and indeed saw a mule cart parked under the big locust tree across the street. The side window curtain on the carriage wall was half lifted, obviously someone was peeping inside.

  "How did you know he was staring at us?"

  This row is all shops, and people don't necessarily stare here.

  Shen Tian Dao: "He's been here since yesterday, he left when we closed up shop and came back when we opened this morning. Just now when the young lady arrived, the carriage curtains were lifted even higher, isn't he spying on us?"

  Xie Wan thought for a moment and walked back: "You sneak out quietly, then stare at him too, let's see what kind of people they are."

  Shen Tian nodded and turned around to go downstairs.

  Xie Wan got on the car and left. At that time, he deliberately walked past the side of the car, but there was no one in front of the car. Suddenly, all the curtains of the car fell down.

  In the evening, after dinner, Xie Wei came wearing the spring shirt made of smoke-colored gauze that Xie Wan had given her last time. The moon-white dress was very becoming on her slender figure. The two of them discussed music and chess for a while, until Yinger, the maid who had accompanied her, urged her to return to Fengfeng Courtyard.

  Xie Wan was just about to go to bed when Shen Tian suddenly arrived.

  Xie Wan was surprised: "What's going on? Why have you come at this time?"

  "Nothing's wrong. The young lady had me keep an eye on the person tailing us, and I followed them all the way back to the mansion. Since I'm here, I might as well come over and report to you."

  "They have also returned to their hometown?"

  Xie Wan put on a cloak and sat behind her desk, unable to conceal her surprise.

  "It's just arrived at the mansion, I saw it clearly."

  They came to the mansion, which means that the person watching them is from the mansion. Besides Wangshi and Xie Hong, who would be sent by the mansion to watch her shop? But why would Wangshi and his mother watch her shop for no reason? Even if they wanted to seize the second house's property, it wouldn't make sense to stare at her like that.

  She remained silent for a while, then suddenly remembered Li Ershun who had come to see her just that afternoon.

  Could it be because of Li Ershun that they have been watching the shop for two days and he has also appeared in the shop these two days?

  If that's the case, then it makes sense. Wang lost such a big face in front of Zhao Zhen and his wife, and was also secretly blamed by Huang's mother and daughter for this reason, and was scolded by Xie Qigong, and it is not known how Xie Rong will blame her after learning about it, it is simply a complete failure.

  She clearly knew that Geng Tie wouldn't be replaced for no reason and it would be abnormal if she didn't investigate.

  She said to Shen Tian Dao: "You go to the Zhao residence now, find a way to see Li Er Shun, tell him that Wang Shi has already set his sights on him, and let him keep his mouth shut. I will take care of things here."

  Although he has been warned during the day, it's still better to remind him a few more times.

  Shen Tian turned around and went out the door.

  Xie Wan stayed and had a cup of tea.

  Wang Shi found out that Li Ershun was on her head, but she wasn't worried. Even if Wang Shi exposed everything, not many people would believe that Li Ershun was under her orders. Firstly, she was only nine years old and still in the age of being spoiled and mischievous in the eyes of ordinary people, it was impossible for her to have such a mind. Secondly, it was well-known that Li Ershun had been scolded by her, since they were sworn enemies, how could she possibly control Li Ershun?

  The most important thing is that Li Ershun was personally recommended by Wang to the Zhao's house. After knowing this, Zhao Zhen would only hate Wang more, for the person she recommended turned out to be the one who switched the birth records, wouldn't that make her even more guilty of being suspicious?

  Anyway, Wang will never be able to clear himself of this matter again.

  But one not-so-good thing is that Wang discovered her goal earlier than she had planned.

  As Xie Wan had guessed, Wang was so angry in the Qifeng Courtyard that his hands and feet were numb.

  "You're saying Li Ershun really had a private meeting with the second wife, and the one who met him was actually Wan Yatou?!"

  Xie Hong said with conviction: "My son saw it with his own eyes, there's no falsehood!"

  Wang's breathing quickened, and he propped up his forehead with his palms.

  "She, it turns out that her usual foolish and ignorant appearance was all an act!"

  "Mother, calm down!" Xie Hong patted her back and said: "Now it seems that everything was just an act. No matter what means she used, it's certain that Yuanyu was the one who secretly instructed Li Ershun to steal the letter. The second wife has caused us so much trouble, if we hadn't offended Sister Wei, Sister Qi's marriage would not have been ruined either. Mother, you must think of a solution quickly!"

  Wang Shi never thought that the one who would harm herself and suffer consecutive setbacks would be Xie Wan, being played around by a little girl like a top, she even had the heart to die.

  "You're so clever and mischievous at such a young age, what will you be like when you grow up?!"

  She slapped the side table, and the jumping cups and saucers scared Ruan Shi, who was silent beside her, into trembling. "When I first entered the mansion, I felt that this girl had a lot of heart, and I still remember when Yu Xue jumped into the well, she didn't mention anything else, but mentioned Yi Feng Yuan, and deceived Old Master into giving them Yi Feng Yuan to live in!

  "I was puzzled at the time, wondering how Lang Ge, who was usually dull, suddenly became clever. I also suspected that she had been instigated by Lang Ge to hit Yin Zhu, but it turned out that I was completely wrong, this was all her own evil idea!"

  She stroked her heart, having suffered a lot of grievances lately, but no matter how much more she suffered, it was nothing compared to the fate that awaited her now.

  Xie Hong hastily handed her a cup of tea and said, "Why don't we tell Master and Lord Zhao about it? Let them take care of it, and we can just watch the excitement."

  "It won't do!" Mr. Wang vetoed in one breath, panting as he said: "Haven't we suffered enough losses in front of the old master? Besides, even if we tell them about it, where can we go to find evidence? It's all empty talk, and it would only make us look like busybodies. Now that we've discovered her, from now on we must be even more careful in our actions, lest we be taken advantage of by her again!"

  "What does mother mean?"

  Wang gave him a sideways glance and gritted his teeth: "Don't forget our goal! Once we've achieved it, we can deal with them later!"
