Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 410 Mysterious Man

"Oh, right, Little Swallow."

Rong Zhixian pinched her brow, composed herself, and asked, "How can you be so sure that the Sheng family boy is the one who saved you?"

"Didn't you say that your savior was always wearing a mask?"

Rong Zhixian carefully analyzed the situation for her younger sister, saying, "Moreover!"

"You need to understand, if we go by your logic, this kid was only about ten years old when he saved you. Do you think that's possible?"

"I'm not just arguing for the sake of arguing, go ahead and say it!"

Seeing that Rong Feiyan seemed unconvinced, Rong Zhixian continued, "Could a child of about ten years old beat those strong and burly thugs?"

"Not to mention, he can kill someone without batting an eye?"

Rong Zhixian shook her head: "The Sheng family isn't exactly a powerful or martial arts family..."

No! It must be him!

However, before Rong Zhixian could finish speaking, Rong Feiyan made a decisive conclusion!

Without the slightest hesitation, she said firmly, "Sister, believe me! I know that person is him!"

"Uh...this..."

Seeing this, Rong Zhixian was speechless.

"OK then."

Looking into her younger sister's determined eyes, Rong Zhixian felt for the first time from the bottom of her heart that her sister had grown up.

"Feiyan, since you are so convinced, then I will say nothing more."

"I hope...you...won't regret it later..."

Realizing that her daughter Yan'er had grown up, Rong Zhixian began to feel somewhat melancholy.

Seeing her sister like this, Rong Feiyan was at a loss for words.

a long time.

It was Rong Zhixian who broke the silence.

"Yan'er, go back to the manor and wait for news."

Rong Zhixian looked at her younger sister, who was just beginning to experience love, with affection and said softly, "Since you are already like this, then I will definitely make proper arrangements for this matter. I will tell you the details after I receive definite news."

"Yes, sister!"

Rong Feiyan smiled happily, then took her older sister's arm and began to flatter her affectionately.

"Sister, you are so kind!"

"You!"

Rong Zhixian shook her head helplessly.

……

On the other hand, with the continuous mobilization of various forces, especially the in-depth investigation by the Imperial City Guard from the government side, the Yu family's matter has become increasingly complicated.

While many forces were making their moves, Sheng Changquan led Xu Changqing to a farmer's courtyard outside the city.

Xu Changqing knew about this courtyard; after all, it was purchased by him a few years ago at Sheng Changquan's behest, and it was located outside the city.

This courtyard and the Jiang family's courtyard were bought in the same year. However, unlike the Jiang family's courtyard which only had two households, these courtyards were rented to several households. Basically, each outbuilding was occupied by one family. In fact, the main house was divided into two or three rooms for different families to live in, just like the shared rental apartments we have now.

Of course, this courtyard was much larger than the Jiang family's courtyard, almost twice the size. In addition to the families of farmers who lived there, there were also one or two rooms reserved for poor students who came to the capital to study.

Xu Changqing believed that these items were originally prepared by his young master for the Jiang family, but the Jiang family's young master was unwilling, so they had no choice but to rent them out.

Now it seems that it's not just because of that.

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

Xu Changqing followed behind Sheng Changquan and asked with some curiosity, "Now, this place has been rented to the tenants, but it's not time to collect the rent yet?"

"Oh, it's been a long time, Mr. Xu!"

Suddenly, a peasant woman carrying a basket greeted Xu Changqing: "My lord, don't worry, I've been watching over this yard for you!" "This yard is in good condition..."

"Oh, Aunt Wang, you're busy!" Xu Changqing stepped forward and replied first, "See, do you think I wouldn't trust Aunt Wang to do things? I didn't come here for this..."

"..."

The people who greeted us were ordinary people who rented this courtyard. Most of them were ordinary people struggling to make ends meet, which is why several families lived together in this courtyard.

At this moment, Sheng Changquan did not interrupt, but silently walked behind Xu Changqing, letting Xu Changqing exchange pleasantries with them.

Because he didn't want others to notice him, Xu Changqing took care of the courtyard, so no one knew Sheng Changquan.

After a long while, once Aunt Wang and the others had left, Sheng Changquan walked up to Xu Changqing and explained, "Don't worry, I didn't come here for the rent."

"I'm here just to see someone."

Sheng Changquan knew that although Xu Changqing was tall and strong, he was actually very kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the hardships and sorrows of the world. Compared to his own "heart of stone", he could be considered a truly kind and good person.

"Hey, young master!"

Xu Changqing responded, realizing he had been overthinking things.

“However, young master, I know everyone who rented this courtyard. If you want to see someone, just tell me and I'll bring them over. Why did you come in person?”

After learning of Sheng Changquan's purpose, Xu Changqing couldn't help but mutter, "Young Master, you have the imperial examination coming up soon, how can you waste so much time!"

"Miss instructed me to take care of these trivial matters for you during this period!"

"Hehe, Changqing."

Sheng Changquan chuckled and said, "This time is different!"

"This person isn't suitable to come to my courtyard; I have to come here to see him. So, stop grumbling!"

"Hmph! Young Master, you're the boss, whatever you say goes!"

Xu Changqing gritted his teeth, still somewhat unconvinced.

"I wonder who this guy is? How dare he have such a big face?" Xu Changqing thought to himself. "I want to see who this guy is, daring to interfere with the young master's studies?"

Sheng Changquan shook his head, ignoring him, and continued walking forward.

Fortunately, it's daytime now, and there aren't many people in the yard. After all, ordinary people are busy making a living and rarely have time to rest at home during the day.

A short while later, Sheng Changquan and his servant entered the courtyard and arrived at one of the rooms.

"Alright, Changqing."

Sheng Changquan stopped and turned to Xu Changqing, instructing, "You stay outside, I'll go in."

"Huh? Young Master, I can't go in?" Xu Changqing said, feeling frustrated.

"What do you say?"

Sheng Changquan rolled his eyes and said, "If you go in, who will guard the outside?"

"This person's identity is very important; we absolutely cannot let anyone know now, understand?"

Sheng Changquan's voice was serious, and his face also became solemn. Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing immediately knew the importance of this matter.

"Yes! Master!"

Xu Changqing immediately became serious. He straightened his chest and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not allow anyone else to come to this area!"

"Um!"

Sheng Changquan nodded, then quickly pushed open the wooden door in front of him and went inside.

"Squeak~"

As the door opened, Xu Changqing curiously peeked inside.

Suddenly!

"what?"

“It’s actually him!!”
