The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

538 Meeting (2)

After the scar removal ointment incident, she had the same thoughts as Xiao Ruoshui. She felt that Feng Manman was not a simple person.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Yuan Yuwan did not let Shen Yijia get out of the carriage. She advised, “I don’t want you to make things difficult for Ruoshui. It’s better if you don’t show your face.”

The south of the city was so big. If not for the fact that she had no other choice, she would not have gone to look for Shen Yijia.

Thinking that Feng Manman had seen her before, Shen Yijia nodded. She watched as Yuan Yuwan and her servant entered the alley before quietly following them.

She couldn’t go in the open, but she could at least watch from afar.

After they entered the alley one after another, a young man dressed as a servant walked out of the darkness at the entrance of the alley opposite.

The young man sized up the carriage for a long time and slapped his forehead. “It’s bad.”

If Xiao Ruoshui was here, she would have recognized this young man as Xiao Li, Xiao Qirui’s personal follower.

Xiao Qirui was beaten up by someone. Although it was only a superficial wound, it was enough for him to lie down for a while.

The other party was lying in ambush near the noodle shop. Thinking of the people who had chased after him last time, Xiao Qirui was worried that they would attack Feng Manman, so he sent someone to protect her nearby.

Xiao Li was only one of them. He did not expect to see Miss Yuan after waiting for a long time.

Thinking of the engagement between Miss Yuan and his young master, Xiao Li did not dare to delay and quickly ran back to report.

The door of the noodle shop was still open. It turned out that the words “transfer” had already been torn off.

Yuan Yuwan stood at the door and saw a woman sitting in the hall, writing.

Noticing the veil on the woman’s face, Yuan Yuwan guessed her identity.

After Feng Manman finished writing, she looked up and met Yuan Yuwan’s gaze. Surprise flashed across her eyes. She stood up and said gently, “The shop is already closed.”

“Since it’s closed, why aren’t you closing the door? Who are you waiting for? Unfortunately, that fool Xiao Qirui is probably still lying in bed.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and muttered softly.

At the side, You Yi, who wished he could shrink into a ball, complained endlessly. Miss, you’re snatching my position.

“Also, the most taboo thing to do as a secret guard is not to keep your mouth shut. It’s fine if you expose yourself, but this will easily cause me to be exposed too!” he thought.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and asked, “If you had to choose one of them as your wife, who would you choose?”

You Yi closed his mouth and shook his head again.

He shouted in his heart, “Have you forgotten that you’re hiding? Can you stop talking?”

Shen Yijia did not know what he was thinking. She narrowed her eyes and threatened, “This is an order. You have to answer.”

You Yi was speechless.

Why did he have to answer? He wasn’t getting married!

Shen Yijia asked, “Huh?”

You One said, “Miss… Miss Yuan.”

Shen Yijia was satisfied. “At least you have good taste. You’re better than that blind Xiao Qirui.”

You One said, “Thank you, but please don’t say anything else.”

Shen Yijia stopped talking.

Actually, You Yi was thinking too much. Shen Yijia’s voice was not loud. Yuan Yuwan and Feng Man were not experts, so how could they hear their voices?

Yuan Yuwan came back to her senses and said with a calm expression, “When we passed by this place, you were the only one who opened the door. Can we get a bowl of water?”

This excuse was actually very lame.

Feng Manman looked at the master and servant at the door strangely. Her master’s expression could not be seen, but the maidservant behind her looked angry.

Her eyes flickered slightly. She picked up the calligraphy piece below and pressed it against the rice paper on the table. She nodded and said, “Of course. The two of you can come in first.”

Yuan Yuwan nodded and thanked him before walking in with You Bai.

“Sit down for a while. I’ll get you some water.” Feng Manman moved two stools to the table and turned to the back.

They were also unprepared for people who appeared in the middle of the night.

You Bai said, “Miss…”

She suggested looking for Xiao Ruoshui because she didn’t want Yuan Yuwan to hold it in alone. She didn’t want her to come here.

Yuan Yuwan shook her head, indicating for her to stop talking. Her gaze fell on the table in front of her.

Even Xiao Ruoshui, who did not like to read, could tell that these things were not ordinary. How could she not tell?

And that calligraphy piece.

Ever since Xiao Ruoshui became good friends with her, she would often secretly show her Xiao Qirui’s articles. Although she only took a look at it before returning it, she wouldn’t remember it wrongly. It was Xiao Qirui’s handwriting.

“I heard that Eldest Young Master Xiao retaliated and taught that woman how to read and write. Really, a man and a woman alone. How good is their relationship?”
