When Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi, his grim expression softened, and his eyes were also full of gentleness.

It's a pity that Lin Xi was thinking about what secrets Zhuang Hongmei had to hide from her, and she didn't notice it for a while.

She heard Shen Chen say: "The Yu family found out that Zhuang Hongmei was very short of money, and she was short of a lot of money, and she needed it urgently. Therefore, Zhuang Hongmei talked to them very urgently, and agreed to them in one bite. ”

"Zhuang Hongmei is short of urgent money? Did the Yu family really say that?? ”

That's right, the Yu family also found out that Zhuang Hongmei was ready to sell the land for money, and also found a few people to buy the land, but it seemed that Zhuang Hongmei was not satisfied with the price given. Therefore, the Yu family still thought that they would add a few dollars and buy part of the land belonging to Zhuang Hongmei from Zhuang Hongmei. But Zhuang Hongmei thought that the Yu family offered a lower price, so she was unwilling. Shen Chen said.

Lin Xi's brows furrowed.

What money can Zhuang Hongmei lack?

"Shen Chen, you don't know, Zhuang Hongmei came after you left. I saw her strange, so I chatted with her for a while, and talked to her. Zhuang Hongmei had married earlier, but her husband died early, and her daughter was also frail and sickly, so she had already gone with her father, and now Zhuang Hongmei is alone, and she doesn't even have a place to stay. ”

After a pause, Lin Xi added: "Of course, I don't believe that she doesn't have a place to stay now, because she doesn't look like she slept on the street." ”

Lin Xi pondered for a while and said, "Is it possible that her daughter is actually not dead yet, but she is indeed frail and sickly, so she needs money to treat her daughter?" ”

"But she doesn't look like that."

"See a doctor...... It's not enough to be short of money to use it urgently. Unless. Her daughter was terminally ill and had only one breath left. But if that's the case, why hasn't there been any rumors at all? Why didn't she ask me for help directly? If it's really to save people, can I still refuse to give her money? ”

Shen Chen patiently listened to her and said, "These reasons cannot be established, and they are not enough to support her behavior. ”

"That's right."

Lin Xi thought about it and immediately got up.

She said: "I'll go to the county to find Zhao Dequan." He opened a restaurant, and the guests in the restaurant were three and nine streams, and they traveled from south to north, and the news was the most well-informed. I asked him to ask where Zhuang Hongmei is now and who is around. ”

Zhuang Hongmei can know what the Yu family is trying today, which means that she is well-informed, and now she must have known that Shen Chen is back.

Although Zhuang Hongmei may not be sure whether Shen Chen has interrogated anything from the Yu family, as long as she tells Shen Chen about Zhuang Hongmei's visit after Shen Chen comes back, Zhuang Hongmei will definitely be able to guess the information they know, and she will be suspicious of her.

I'm afraid that Zhuang Hongmei has already run away at this time.

I knew that she should have left Zhuang Hongmei in the morning!

Thinking of this, Lin Xi said: "I'm going, Shen Chen, you and the children can make some food at noon, and I'll come back in the evening and cook a good meal for you." ”

If it's too late, I'm afraid that Zhuang Hongmei won't be able to find any figure that she wants to run!

She was in a hurry to leave immediately, but Shen Chen grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, I've already found someone from the yamen to find Zhuang Hongmei." ”

Lin Xi stopped, "Really??" ”

Shen Chen bowed his head and said comfortingly: "Realizing that Zhuang Hongmei may have a secret, and it may be unfavorable to you, I asked the official to immediately find someone, and contacted the people from the nearby townships and counties and the official road station. I also drew a portrait of Zhuang Hongmei so that they could identify it. ”

Judging from the time, Zhuang Hongmei couldn't run far after such a morning's work.

The government is extremely efficient, and it will definitely find someone in the shortest possible time.

Lin Xi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "This ...... It's only been so long and you've done so much?? ”

Shen Chen got up and approached her, the distance between the two was only a stone's throw away, and it seemed that they could hear Lin Xi's pounding heartbeat.

The man lowered his eyes to look at her, and his low voice was slightly hoarse: "I will be fully prepared for everything related to you." ”

On the way back to Chenyang Village from the county, Shen Chen was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, and he was worried that Zhuang Hongmei would come before him.

He couldn't bet on whether Zhuang Hongmei's secret would pose any threat to Lin Xi.

I can't bet that if Zhuang Hongmei knows that her purpose is frustrated, she will be desperate and do something extreme because she is in a hurry to use money.

You can't bet on Lin Xi's luck so good that he won't encounter danger.

To be reassured, he must snuff out all possible signs of danger in the cradle.

Lin Xi felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

She didn't seem to hear anything, her eyes were slightly handsome, he was looking at her, and she saw that his eyes were full of gentle comfort, as if as long as he was there, she didn't have to worry about the sky falling.

It feels amazing.

In the past, when she was struggling to maintain her position in the ancient clan to protect her family, she thought that it would be good if someone could help her.

If there was someone to help her, she would ......

Suddenly, an unusually strong thought surged into Lin Xi's mind.

Before she could come back to her senses, Lin Xi's body had already made a choice—she suddenly threw herself into Shen Chen's arms.

Shen Chen was thrown into her arms, his black eyes widened slightly, but it was only for a moment, and he immediately hugged Lin Xi back.

His lower plate is very stable, he didn't even retreat, and he held it steadily.

He looked down slightly at Lin Xi in his arms, she buried her face, and he couldn't see what her expression was.

Lin Xi couldn't see what Shen Chen's reaction was at the moment.

But there is no need to look, Lin Xi closed his eyes, his breath was the cold and indifferent fragrance of Shen Chen's body, and in his ears was his calm and powerful heartbeat, which gradually overlapped with her heartbeat, and he couldn't tell who was more excited.

She raised her head and saw Shen Chen's angular chin, he held her waist with one hand, and pressed her head to her chest with the other, as if to comfort her, but also as if he was afraid that she would escape.

"Shen Chen."

"Huh?"

The man's voice is patient and gentle.

"Why are you so good......"

It's so good that she can't refuse, and it also makes her unable to stay away like she did at the beginning.

She can't treat Shen Chen as the villain who did a lot of evil in the original book at all.

At this moment, he is her father-in-law.

She has never felt that the word "Xianggong" is so nice as it is now.

The man was slightly stunned, then laughed.

He touched her head, and his voice was hoarse: "Only you will think I am good, and the others can't wait to stay away from me, so as not to be implicated by me." ”

Lin Xi heard it clearly, she hugged Shen Chen tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Because those people are jealous of you." ”

Shen Chen's heart trembled, and he was confused about the heart in his arms.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the ghost messenger said, "When it's time to worship the ancestors, I'll take you to worship my father, okay?" ”

He was rarely nervous, as if he was about to hear the words that would determine the rest of his life.

Fortunately, in the end, he heard the man in his arms say, "Good." ”
