Chapter 558: Aunt Liu's Change of Opportunity
Continued from the previous article
Xiao entered the Shen residence, went up to the hall and took the seat as a guest.

It was Hong Pan who led the way, and they were just chatting casually when the Shen family's concubine Liu, Liu Wanyun, lifted the curtain and rushed in.

While blaming Hong Pan, he was also secretly guessing Xiao Xing's intentions and behavior.

After she turned around and left Hongyu, she finally turned her attention to Xiao Lang.

"Uh"

"This young master."

"He looks handsome, haha."

"I just don't know. What's your name? Is he married?!"

"Is there something special you want to talk about when you come to the mansion with Hong Pan?"

"I am the aunt of the family. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you."

"I'm sorry, but please don't mess with us!"

Liu Wanyun's poems are beautiful and she is worldly-wise and smart.

In fact, just before coming in, Liu had heard the maid say in the outer room that the young master had brought people to look for Master Shen.

Moreover, Hong Pan kept calling him benefactor.

Liu Wanyun was worried that the stupid bully might have been frightened by someone outside, or might have made up some outrageous excuse to bring disaster upon his father.

Since she entered the house, Aunt Liu has been deliberately glancing at Xiao Lang's behavior.

He deliberately acted surprised when he went to Hong Pan's place, and did not ask any questions first, but instead turned to Xiao Lang to show courtesy. It was because of this concern that he had this concern.

But at the moment, seeing that Xiao and Yue were so calm and composed, it was impossible to tell what was going on with them for a moment.

It is difficult to tell the difference in appearance and emotion.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak frankly.

"Hey, this"

"Aunt Liu, this brother Xiao saved my life when I encountered bandits on the road."

"He is my Hong Pan's great benefactor."

"It was only later that I realized that he had come from Nanjing specifically to do some business with the Huizhou Merchants Association in Yangzhou."

"You say, this is a coincidence, isn't it?!"

"I saw that this was the situation, so I brought Brother Xiao home directly."

"What kind of business is this, my father has the final say."

"Aunt Liu, later, when my father comes back, you have to help me speak a few words."

"You know my father's temper. It's not easy for him to assign me a task."

"It's not good for me to go home in this state."

"Just think of it as loving me, as long as the goods are not messed up."

"Don't let him scold me again in front of others!"

"OK?!"

When Shen Hongpan heard that it was Liu Wanyun who was after Xiao Lang, and his newly acquainted brother Xiao, he immediately had no words to say.

Fearing that the atmosphere might become dull, he started by making jokes and stirring up the conversation.

I intentionally conceal Xiao Lang's situation because even a fool has a righteous character.

"Haha, OK, OK."

"Oh, your problems are easy to talk about."

Then, Aunt Liu tried to avoid Hong Pan with her words, not taking it seriously, and continued talking to Xiao Lang.

"It's just that this Xiao...oh, Master Xiao, right?"

"Tsk tsk, look at this young man's demeanor, he is a brave and talented man, but he really doesn't look like a traveling businessman."

"Hey, what did Hong Pan just say about horse bandits? Well, they are all evil people who are willing to take risks."

"Sir, you can actually handle it."

"I guess he must be an excellent martial artist."

"You two brothers, you have saved Hong Pan's life."

"That naturally means he is the benefactor of our Shen family."

"Sir, what exactly do you do for a living?"

"I've come to the Huizhou Merchants Association, but is there anyone who can recommend us?"

"When the master comes back later, I will also speak a few words for Hong Pan."

Liu Wanyun was unwilling to give in and continued to probe.

The meaning of what he said is very clear. Having asked to this extent, I believe that he is asking about a foreign man named Xiao, so I can't keep silent any longer.

However, at this time, Xiao Lai actually had his own plans.

The reason why he didn't say anything was that Shen Chaozong hadn't met the person yet.

My trick of using the excuse of being a traveling merchant might be enough to scare that foolish man Shen Hongpan.

But now it was clear that this concubine Liu was not someone who could be fooled so easily. So he kept silent and ignored it.

"Uh, I, I'm talking to Brother Xiao, about this recommendation."

"Hi!"

"Aunt Liu, forget it. Aren't all rules made by people?"

"Brother Xiao saved my life. Even if I don't have anyone to recommend you, how about I do it?!"

Hong Pan came to the rescue and was truly an assistant.

Don't underestimate this man because he is actually kind-hearted.

"Hey, you."

"Oh, never mind."

"Mr. Xiao doesn't want to have a detailed chat with a woman like me, but that's not a big deal."

"It's just your official business outside."

"In that case, Hong Pan."

"Saving my life is a great favor. As a merchant family, we, the Shen family, will never neglect our benefactor."

"Have you prepared a banquet outside?!"

Seeing that her attempt failed, Liu Wanyun became angry and resentful.

Shen Hongpan is an ignorant guy who keeps making trouble.

There was no other way. Out of sight, out of mind. He simply brought up the topic of preparing wine, hoping to use this to lure the two guests out of the house first, and then the situation would be better afterwards.

"Uh, yeah, ouch."

"Aunt Liu, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about it and would have just been thinking about getting down to business."

She put on the red quilt and slapped her thigh, then she understood the shape.

"Humph! You red pan."

"I'm usually so careless that I just can't get anything done when I miss you."

"Well, you take Xiao. and the other young master behind you to the Guangde Tower in the city for the banquet first."

"No matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as eating."

"Your father, even if he wants to come back, can't get here so soon."

"You guys go first."

"Then, when your father comes back, I will help you tell him to come over right away."

The words passed over Hong Pan's face, and Liu Wanyun turned to Xiao Lang without saying anything.

"Hehehe"

"Two young masters."

"Don't pick on me."

"It's not that our Lady Liu doesn't want to keep you two, it's just that the people in the mansion are all female relatives and maids."

"It's not good to keep a foreign man here all the time."

"Do you know the Guangde Tower in Yangzhou?"

"In our Yangzhou, that place is definitely the best."

"If you don't mind, please ask Hong Pan to go and make arrangements."

"Since we are in Yangzhou, we must go and eat here once, so that the trip will be worthwhile."

"As for my master, you two can rest assured."

"When he comes back, I will definitely push him there."

"It's common for you guys to talk about business over a drink."

"Second Master, do you think this arrangement is a good idea?!"

Liu Wanyun explained the whole matter clearly with a set of words.

If Xiao was really a merchant, after hearing all this, he would have no reason to refute or decline, and he would have to follow the order.

But, then again, Xiao Jingchuan's identity is fake after all.

The purpose of his trip was to have a secret conversation with Shen Chaozong.

Given the situation, there was no reason to ask someone to send him out before seeing Shen Chaozong.

"Hehehe"

"Since Hong Pan calls her Aunt Liu, I will follow suit."

"Aunt Liu, it's better not to go to Guangde Building for today's matter."

"We are not hungry right now. According to Xiaoke's opinion, we should wait here for a while."

"It would be better to ask Mr. Shen to return home quickly!"
