Chapter 397: Robbery
When Nanzhi sent Shen Wenchen back to the city lord's mansion, his face was already red.
This man had been talking nonsense all the time in the carriage.
"Sister-in-law!" Twelve was chased by four skinned monkeys all afternoon. Now he finally saw Nanzhi coming back and felt that he had just waited for his savior.
"Twelve? What's wrong with you?" Nanzhi was a little surprised when he saw the embarrassment of the visitor, and only helped Shen Wenchen to get closer.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back." Twelve hated themselves for not growing wings and rushed to Nanzhi in a few steps.
"What are you..." Before Nanzhi could finish her words, she saw the four cubs rushing behind her, and she immediately understood everything.
"Thank you so much for your hard work."
"No hard work, no hard work, sister-in-law, let me do it." Twelve said, reaching out to pick up Shen Wenchen. He only felt his shoulders sinking, and he helped the person up with some difficulty.
"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back with the dolls first."
Nanzhi smiled and waved, motioning for several dolls to come over.
After a crazy afternoon here, the little kids had sweat on their bodies and faces, and they smelled even worse when they got closer.
"Aniang!"
When Shen Zhiyu saw Nanzhi, his eyes lit up and he tried to pounce on him. Fortunately, Nanzhi reacted quickly and managed to avoid it.
"Stop, stop messing around, we have to go back quickly." Nanzhi nodded the little guy's forehead, and then spoke with a doting tone in his tone.
"Okay." The little guy stopped making trouble and obediently followed his three brothers into the carriage.
"Sister-in-law, please go back more slowly."
"You know, Wen Chen has worked hard for you."
"it's okay no problem!"
Watching the carriage go further and further away, Twelve breathed a sigh of relief.
These monkeys are finally gone.
Just as he was about to help Shen Wenchen through the door, he felt a weight lighten on his shoulders.
Shen Wenchen stood upright, looking like he was staggering when he just walked.
Apart from the slight redness at the end of his eyes and the smell of alcohol on his body, there was no trace of him being drunk.
"Brother Shen?"
Twelve's eyelids twitched, secretly thinking something was wrong.
Shen Wenchen ignored him, just glanced at him and turned around and entered the door.
It's a shame that I pretended to be drunk.
These twelve are young after all.
Shen Wenchen was fine, but Shen Yuntian was drunk for two full days before he recovered.
"Yuntian, how are you?" Nanzhi sat aside and handed him a glass of water.
Shen Yuntian's head still hurt a little, so he held his forehead with one hand and slowly sat up and took the cup.
"sister in law."
The hoarse voice was terrifying, like a burst of wind from a broken bellows.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat." Nanzhi shook his head and did not let him get up.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go." Shen Yuntian's face turned a little pale, and a layer of dry skin appeared on his lips. He got better after drinking water.
"Hexiu is getting married today."
Nanzhi looked straight at Shen Yuntian, a pair of almond eyes that seemed to want to see through him.
"Yes, really..."
"Do you want to go take a look?" Nanzhi still sat upright, with no expression on his face.
"No, it would be good if she could find a good family to marry." Shen Yuntian lowered his head, but his tone was filled with disappointment.
"The marriage was arranged by Hexiu's family. The man was a thirty-year-old widower who had killed two wives before."
After Nanzhi finished speaking, Shen Yuntian raised his head fiercely.
"Why, how could it be?"
"It's just for her dowry of six taels of silver. If you really want her to be well, it's still too late. If she really gets married, I'm afraid the days to come will be no different from the two before."
Seeing that he was shaken, Nanzhi stood up immediately, leaving only one sentence before leaving.
"She is now at the inn at the gate of the city. In two quarters of an hour, the person to pick her up should arrive."
Nanzhi left, leaving Shen Yuntian sitting alone in the room in a daze.
When Lin Xiaoquan came in with hot porridge, he saw that Shen Yuntian, who was usually calm and reliable in the past, was already confused now, and the panic on his face was even more difficult to conceal.
"Brother Yuntian, what are you doing?" Seeing that he was anxious, Lin Xiaoquan was a little confused and quickly put the porridge bowl aside.
"Xiaoquan, do me a favor. Go to the door and stop a carriage for me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Yuntian's face was panicked like never before. Even if Lin Xiaoquan didn't know what happened, he knew it was an emergency, so he nodded and hurried out to stop the car.
Shen Yuntian didn't care about the baggage anymore. He just put on a small coat and got out of bed.
He had to find Hexiu.
He couldn't, couldn't let Hexiu marry such a person.
Pedestrians were bustling along the way, and the weather did not feel sultry at all. Vendors were selling a wide range of goods along the street.
The carriage could not move forward on the street, and Shen Yuntian was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.
"Brother Shen, are you in a hurry?" The coachman often works at the entrance of Sanweiju. From time to time he will go there to eat a bowl of noodles and a few skewers of barbecue. He is naturally familiar with Shen Yuntian.
"Yeah." Shen Yuntian looked at the pedestrians in front of him and was in no mood to say anything else.
"I remember today is not the day to go out of town to get drinks." The coachman scratched his head and said with a smile.
Those who work in this field will say that they are well-informed. At this moment, the sound of suona and gongs can be vaguely heard. He raised his finger and pointed to that place, motioning for Shen Yuntian to look over.
"Today is a good day! There are a lot of people getting married in the city today. You can meet them everywhere. We might even be able to get some wedding candy later."
If you eat this as a wedding candy, you can also be happy.
"Are there many people getting married today?" Shen Yuntian's face was still pale, and his temples were beating sharply, which always made him feel a little uneasy.
"There are many. I know of three of them."
"Then, is there one at the city gate?"
Shen Yuntian clenched his fists, his eyes full of regret.
Even if he went to stop the marriage, it would be bad for He Xiu's reputation.
"Yes, there is a family living near the city gate. The man is a widower, and he is in the butcher business. He also has two little children at home. I heard that he finally found a girl and got married today.
My mother-in-law also said to buy meat from him, it would be a penny a pound cheaper in the past two days. "
As the coachman spoke, the smile on his face almost overflowed.
Shen Yuntian's face turned even more ugly.
Could it be that what Sister Nanzhi said is true?
"Can you please tell me if there is a shortcut to the city gate faster? Things on my side are a bit urgent."
The coachman looked at the crowd of people outside the car who were walking faster than his own carriage, nodded, and was not embarrassed to accept his ten cents, so he only took three cents out of it.
"You follow the alley and walk straight in, then turn left at the opening and go all the way there."
"Thank you."
Shen Yuntian clasped his fists and put his hands on the carriage beam, then hurriedly got out of the carriage and headed towards the entrance of the alley.
