Chapter 53: A Thief in the Middle of the Night

At this time, where did the Fang family still eat any pastries, she couldn't wait to send Zhou Youyi away now.

"Then thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, this pastry looks good. ”

Fang Shi motioned to Jin Chen beside him to accept it, and chatted with Zhou Youyi for a while, and when she left, he stood up angrily and looked at Jin Chen and asked viciously, "You must pay more attention to things for you, how did you say you paid attention, how did they know?"

Jin Chen was really aggrieved, she was indeed careful and careful, but she couldn't figure out how Zhou Youyi and Ning Er found out.

Thinking that Zhou Youyi had already discovered these things that Jin Chen had done, and concluded that she must also know about the problem with the account books in Bu Zhuang, Fang's heart was even more flustered, and the previous momentum was long gone.

Just when the chaos in the north courtyard was in turmoil, Zhou Youyi from the west courtyard returned to her room to rest, but the subordinates brought Bai Cheng over.

Bai Cheng couldn't stop crying when he saw Zhou Youyi, and even knelt down directly.

Zhou Youyi hurriedly asked someone to help Baicheng up, and only then did she know that Xu Xiufen refused to eat and drink all day long since she moved to the small courtyard, and she was originally in good health, but now she is extremely weak, and the whole person is even more skinny.

Right now, if you don't eat rice and water again, I'm afraid that you won't live for a few days.

Bai Cheng thought of a lot of ways, and almost broke his tongue, but Xu Xiufen just refused, and threatened: As long as she lives for this day, she will not eat the things that the Shen family gives for a day.

She is also a woman of flesh.

Under the leadership of Bai Cheng, Zhou Youyi had no choice but to put on her clothes and go to the small courtyard.

Before she entered the door, she heard Xu Xiufen lying on the bed screaming in pain, and her heart trembled a little.

Such a voice was all too familiar, she once had a dream, in the dream, she finally died of pain in this way.

"Who did you bring again, get out of here!"

Xu Xiufen mustered up her strength, turned her back to the door, and only heard the footsteps of a few people, the heavy one was Bai Cheng, and the other two light ones should be women.

"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to get out of this place, so why did you tell me to get out of here? ”

Zhou Youyi looked at the woman on the bed, and the shelf of the Shen family's housewife was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Xu Xiufen's eyes opened, and she could naturally hear whose voice it was.

"Mrs. Shen, since you are here, then I will make it clear to you, this small courtyard, we ...... Ahem......"

Before Xu Xiufen could speak, her whole body was trembling because of a violent cough.

Bai Cheng, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Xiufen, and looked at Zhou Youyi with apologetic eyes.

"Auntie, although this small courtyard is our Shen family, it was also bought with Baicheng's money. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiufen and Bai Cheng both raised their heads, Bai Cheng was even more surprised, how could he not know that this was his own silver, the silver taels he had earned from selling tofu over the years was not enough to buy medicine for Xu Xiufen to see a doctor, where did he have the money to buy such a small courtyard.

Zhou Youyi chuckled, pulled a chair and sat down, and Ning'er next to her took out the contract from her cuff.

"Baicheng, have you forgotten that your current tofu shop is opened by our Shen family, but have you forgotten the equal division of interests?"

Bai Cheng then remembered that the tofu shop had earned silver taels before, and he had never touched anything except for taking some every day to Xu Xiufen to see a doctor and buy medicine, but it was not right to think about it, how could this silver tael be able to buy such a small courtyard.

Receiving Zhou Youyi's gaze, Bai Cheng understood in his heart.

"Cheng'er, is there really such a thing?"

Xu Xiufen clutched her chest and looked at Bai Cheng, as if as long as he said yes, her illness seemed to be better.

Bai Cheng glanced at Zhou Youyi, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

In this case, Xu Xiufen no longer wants to be involved with the Shen family, and understands that all this is a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much she wants to deny it, she will eventually become the kind she least wants to see.

"Mrs. Shen, are you serious?"

Xu Xiufen was still a little skeptical, could it be that Bai Cheng and Zhou Youyi had reached something.

"Aunt Xu, our wife is the most talkative, you can rest assured, this small courtyard, you can live with confidence, after all, this is all the money that Bai Gongzi worked hard to sell tofu. ”

Ning Er poured a glass of water for Xu Xiufen as she spoke, and continued, "To put it bluntly, this is your own family's silver taels, and not our Shen Mansion's silver, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Xiufen naturally understood this truth, but she refused to drink the tea brought by Ning Er.

After going out of the small courtyard in Baicheng, Zhou Youyi looked at Ning Er and praised, "Yes, there is progress." ”

Ning Er's cheeks were slightly red, and she replied with a smile, "It's still good for you, madam, if it weren't for you, this Aunt Xu wouldn't be living in this small courtyard, but I'm afraid she would look down on the doctor." ”

Zhou Youyi looked at her, her eyes signaled not to talk nonsense, and Ning'er quickly covered her mouth.

If Bai Cheng's financial resources can not afford Xu Xiufen's medical expenses, even if Dr. Xia has reduced his requirements a lot, and he does not even charge for the outpatient fee, but even so, Bai Cheng still can't support it.

If it weren't for Zhou Youyi giving Doctor Xia money behind her back, she would have helped Baicheng pay a lot of money for medicinal materials.

"Madame, are you secretly helping me?"

As soon as Bai Cheng walked out of the door, he heard Ning Er's words, and he was shocked, how could he let Zhou Youyi help him like this.

Zhou Youyi saw that Bai Cheng already knew, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she said to Bai Cheng after a while, "Don't let the eldest mother know about this matter, otherwise the eldest mother's illness may be ......."

There is no cure for hypochondriasis, and most of the drugs prescribed by Dr. Xia are analgesic drugs.

"Madam, I really can't repay you, if you don't dislike it, you just let me follow you, I will definitely do my best to protect you, Madame, and I will never let people hurt you." ”

For Bai Cheng's loyalty, Zhou Youyi seems to have expected it.

She nodded in agreement, "Okay, but now is not the time, you take good care of your mother, and the future will be long." ”

Bai Cheng nodded, and his admiration for Zhou Youyi in his heart was a little more.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, it was almost midnight, and Ning Er and Zhou Youyi were about to go back to the West Courtyard, and when they passed through the South Courtyard, they heard the sound of rustling and turning things in the room. The two glanced at each other, and Ning Er grabbed Zhou Youyi's wrist tightly, and the nervousness and fear in her eyes put her whole body in an extremely serious state.

Zhou Youyi walked towards the south courtyard step by step, making sure that the sound was coming from the study, and when she was about to step forward, Ning'er took her hand.

"Madam, let's not go, hurry up and call the housekeeper. ”

Ning Er's reminder, Zhou Youyi remembered that she was concerned about catching the thief, but she forgot to call the family in the house.
