There is a trick

Chapter 25: Thoughts on Silk
"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

Zhou Chang bowed to Bai Xiu'e, with no change in his expression.

Bai Xiu'e looked at him timidly and suddenly felt that this guy was a little shameless.

Seeing that Zhou Chang was able to move freely now, she wanted to take this opportunity to say something like congratulations, but at this moment, Zhou Chang spoke again: "Miss Bai, do you know Wen Yongsheng?"

As he spoke, Zhou Chang stared straight at Bai Xiu'e.

Just as he expected - as soon as he mentioned the name 'Wen Yongsheng', the expression on Bai Xiu'e's face suddenly changed. Fear, panic and other emotions surged onto her face, but were forcibly suppressed by her in the blink of an eye.

She lowered her eyes, not meeting Zhou Chang's gaze, and talked about something else: "The Wen family's Yongsheng Winery is well-known in Sichuan and Shu. Who wouldn't know the name Wen Yongsheng?"

Her expression earlier had already given Zhou Chang a key clue.

The other party did know 'Wen Yongsheng'. He was not like an ordinary person who only heard of the name of the winery. Instead, he might have had contact with 'Wen Yongsheng'.

The hallucinations he had in the wine cellar were most likely not hallucinations!

The story of Bai Xiu'e marrying into the Wen family might have really happened!

The various hallucinations brought about by the feasting wind might be the memories of the 'secular god Wen Yongsheng' hidden in the wine cellar!

Zhou Chang smiled and continued to look at Bai Xiu'e.

To the woman, his gaze seemed rather impolite, even outrageous.

He added: "The young master of the Wen family today is called Wen Yongsheng, right, Miss Bai?"

"How, how do you know?" At this moment, Bai Xiu'e looked at Zhou Chang with horror in her eyes.

It is common knowledge that Wen Yongsheng, the ancestor of the Wen family, founded the Yongsheng Winery. However, the current eldest son of the Wen family, also named Wen Yongsheng, is a secret of the Wen family.

After all, when naming descendants, one must avoid mentioning the names of elders.

The Wen family claims to be a large landlord who passes on their family traditions of farming and studying, but the eldest grandson in the family has the same name as his ancestor. How can this be publicized?
So when Bai Xiu'e heard Zhou Chang's words, many speculations flashed through her mind in an instant. She thought that Zhou Chang and Wen Yongsheng had some kind of connection, and that he came to find her specifically!
"It is indeed so." Zhou Chang's eyes lit up.

He saw the young master of the Wen family in his hallucination, who wore a melon-shaped hat, had fake mouse braids and a pale face, and married Bai Xiu'e, who had a mark on her neck, and he had been guessing the identity of the young master of the Wen family.

Considering that the wind of feasting brought back memories of the secular god Wen Yongsheng, I made a bold guess -

I didn't expect this to be the case!
"What is the relationship between the current Young Master of the Wen family and Patriarch Wen?

Is he dead or alive? Miss Bai, can you tell me?" Zhou Chang walked closer to Bai Xiu'e and asked her repeatedly.

However, Bai Xiu'e had already realized by this time that Zhou Chang was deliberately deceiving her.

As she watched Zhou Chang getting closer to her, she felt that he was disrespectful and felt ashamed and angry. She lowered her head, kept her mouth shut, and did not respond to any of Zhou Chang's questions.

What's more, she was married to Wen Yongsheng at that time. Although she was still alive, she was actually as good as dead. How could she explain these secrets to Zhou Chang, whom she didn't even know well?
Zhou Chang saw that she didn't say a word and didn't respond to his questions, but he was not anxious.

Miss Bai will not stay here for just one or two days, so he has enough time to slowly deal with her.

Especially now, the longer he stays with the other person, the more benefits he will gain.

——Perhaps because of Bai Xiu'e's emotional fluctuations today, Zhou Chang's thoughts grew extremely fast. At this moment, his newly added thoughts were enough to cover half of his arm.

"Where is the other girl now?" Zhou Chang looked at the woman's appearance and asked again.

The other girl he was referring to was the 'paper-faced girl'.

Bai Xiu'e felt uneasy when he looked at her, so she looked up suddenly, wanting to warn him to stop his reckless behavior.

However, when she looked up and met Zhou Chang's gaze, she saw that his eyes were calm, completely different from the looks she had seen from the men she had seen before.

She felt that she had wronged Zhou Chang and lowered her head: "It...it is not a good person. Don't get in touch with it - it will hurt you."

"Okay." Since the other party said so, Zhou Chang also followed suit.

The two were silent for a while.

Zhou Chang enjoyed the rapid growth of thoughts between his brows. He leisurely looked at the furnishings in the room, with no intention of leaving.

Bai Xiu'e couldn't stand it, she had lived for so many years, and because of her appearance, she had seen what those men looked like when they were reckless, but none of them was like Zhou Chang - there was clearly no selfish desire in the other's eyes, and it was not appropriate to describe his behavior as reckless.

It should be called 'heretic'. This person is so weird!
Why does he seem to have no idea about the differences between men and women? Doesn't he know that men and women should avoid suspicion?

"You..." Bai Xiu'e was helpless and finally spoke.

Zhou Chang then said, "I see Miss Bai is sewing the so-called 'beast coat' for me?

Can you show it to me?"

Bai Xiu'e raised her eyes, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Zhou Chang, not knowing what to say for a moment.

What's going on with his attitude, as if it's natural and should be this way?

The beast coat was sewn for him, and he asked to have it shown to him, so there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it?
In the end, Bai Xiu'e lowered her head in compromise and handed the piece of mouse fur hidden behind her to Zhou Chang. Of course, she still hid the carapaces of the carabids that she had sewn together for the time being.

These beetle shells will be sewn into the "beast coat" later, but it is not convenient to let outsiders see her sewing techniques and the "needle and thread" used for sewing at this time.

“There were eight or nine mice.

Miss Bai sewed it so well that you couldn't see any stitches or traces of needlework." Zhou Chang turned the small piece of mouse fur over and over.

When he touched the leather, he was sure that it must have been sewn with some kind of silk thread that originated from the same silk thread as the one between his eyebrows.

But right now, his thoughts could not have any connection with this piece of fur.

He had to wait until the beast suit was actually sewn together and he held it in his hands before he could conduct some experiments.

"Can a man who is a man also know needlework?

Brother Zhou, do you know what stitches are?" Bai Xiu'e looked at Zhou Chang praising the leather goods she had sewn, and she curled up the corners of her mouth unconsciously, and said a few more words than before.

But after she said it, she secretly blamed herself for being rash and speaking inappropriately.

Zhou Chang didn't know what he was thinking of, and he laughed: "I do know some needlework."

"Really?" Bai Xiu'e became more curious.

"Of course, but do you want me to show Miss Bai my skills?" Zhou Chang said.

Bai Xiu'e's lips curled up and she was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the door. The expression on her face suddenly became nervous and frightened, and she quickly lowered her head as if she had done something terribly wrong.

Zhou Chang turned around and looked at the door, and saw Zhou Sanji standing at the door with a sullen face: "It's time to eat, how long are you going to chat?"

"Oh." Zhou Chang turned around and said to Bai Xiu'e, "Let's go, Miss Bai, it's time to eat."

Seeing how calm he was, Bai Xiu'e's fear and terror in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

She felt that chatting with foreign men was not a big deal.

Zhou Sanji, who was standing at the door, slapped his forehead, sighed, and left the house.

Soon, Zhou Chang also followed him out of the room.

In the wing room.

Bai Xiu'e sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her toes, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Her eyes were bright, and the gloom between her brows had dissipated a lot.

"But are you moved?" Suddenly, the left half of Bai Xiu'e's cheek rippled like water, and her charming and affectionate face was looming in it. "You are really stupid, can't you see that he is using you now?

Now you can sew a beast coat for him, and he can talk to you. When you are no longer useful to him, he can kick you away without any worries.

People like him appear gentle on the surface but are cold and indifferent in secret.

Deep down, he is aloof... but I can see it..."

Bai Xiu'e pursed her lips and said nothing.

Strands of slightly white and transparent lotus root silk floated out from her body, wrapped around that charming and affectionate face, and sealed its mouth.
