"If you're tired, go and take a break, there are few guests, and we can handle it." Wang Wu said to him, and didn't notice anything wrong with him.

However, Wang Niangzi remembered what Song Qian said in her heart, so she dragged the person to the corner of the backyard and was wary of this Huo Wei.

Wang Niangzi wanted Wang Wu to keep an eye on Huo Wei, but Wang Wu vetoed: "People are just here to work, where do they get so much thought? Mrs. Song is kind-hearted, but we can't just doubt others, right?"

"You're just too easy to trust people, wasn't that how you did it back then? What did your kindness get in return? You still want to be calculated to live that kind of hard life, Yong'an and I don't want to. Anyway, I think what Song Niangzi said is right, after all, he suddenly appeared from an unknown source, so it's better to ask clearly and be vigilant, the truth is this, you can't be kind to you."

Hearing Wang Niangzi's words, Wang Wu's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he took Wang Niangzi's hand off his arm seriously and said, "What happened at the beginning was just an accident, you don't need to say more about these words, I know it myself."

Wang Wu is good at everything, but he is too brainless and abuses his kindness. Wang Niangzi thought so in her heart, and she didn't know how to refute his attitude and words, so she could only shake her head and sigh and leave with Wang Yongan not far away.

At this time, Huo Wei was also carefully observing them, although he couldn't hear the words in their mouths, he could guess that they were arguing with themselves.

Just when he wanted to get closer, Wang Niangzi suddenly walked out with Wang Yongan.

Seeing his sneaky appearance, Wang Niangzi asked with a vigilant face, "What were you doing just now?"

"Shopkeeper, this thing is getting in the way here, and I want to move it away." Huo Wei saw the things piled up next to the door, and lied without blushing at all.

Because she couldn't catch any flaws, Wang Niangzi had to put away her questioning attitude and leave with Wang Yongan.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Huo Wei said to Wang Wu over there, "Shopkeeper, the work is done, I'll go back to the room first."

At this time, Wang Wu was upset about what he had just said to Wang Niangzi, thinking that his words were too heavy, and he must have hurt Wang Niangzi.

After hearing Huo Wei's words, he nodded perfunctorily: "You go."

Huo Wei answered and put down his things and went to the small room in the backyard.

At night, Wang Wu and Wang Niangzi latched the door of the shop and went back to rest, not noticing that when the door of their house was closed, the door of the small wing room was gently pushed open.

Huo Wei tiptoed out of the backyard door leading to the front hall against the wall, and just as he was about to take off the deadbolt of the shop door, he suddenly kicked the bench stacked on the side.

When he heard a loud sound echoing in the air, Huo Wei's movements stopped abruptly and looked behind him vigilantly.

The lady in the room was making the bed, and when she heard this voice, she jumped up in fear, and hurriedly said to Wang Wu, "It can't be a thief, right? Go and see."

"Okay, I'll take a look." Wang Wu put on the coat that had been taken off, took the fire hook and candle flame standing in the corner of the wall and went to the front hall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Huo Wei hurriedly hid in the shadows, and saw Wang Wu's figure through the gap and the faint moonlight.

Suddenly, a heart rose to his throat.

Wang Wu searched around the front hall, and after seeing no suspicious figure, he thought it was a rat, turned around and left.

Huo Wei, who was not found, breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that the person had completely left, he hurriedly came out and opened the door bolt and left cautiously.

Taking advantage of the night, Huo Wei came to the alley around the corner.

A figure was waiting for him here, it was Jia Cheng's subordinate.

"How? Did you steal it?" After seeing him, the subordinates hurriedly asked Jia Cheng about the things he handed him over.

But Huo Wei shook his head, and his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said with some threat: "The master believes in you very much, if you can't do this little thing well, wouldn't you live up to the master's trust."

"It's easier said than done. The Wang couple always stayed in the shop, and I didn't have a chance to do it at all. And now

There is also a woman surnamed Song every day, probably Song Qian from the dessert shop. She didn't know what she told the Wang family and his wife about me, and the Wang lady was wary of me. When you eat tonight, you always keep an eye on me." If it weren't for the lack of evidence, I'm afraid he would have been exposed now.

After hearing this, the servant also felt that this matter was a little difficult, so he gave him an idea and said, "Then you can tell them tomorrow that the spices in the shop are gone, and take advantage of the time when they go out to buy spices, and hurry up and steal the recipe and give it to me."

It's a good idea, Huo Wei thought.

"The old man promised me ......" Huo Wei was still for this in the end, otherwise he wouldn't be tired of working here and be worried.

The subordinate sighed helplessly, and replied impatiently: "The master promised you a copper plate is naturally indispensable, you just have to do what you are told, otherwise you don't want to see half of the copper plate." Remember?"

Hearing these words, Huo Wei immediately understood that he was roasted on the fire, and he had to do what Jia Cheng ordered.

"Got it, please rest assured. If there is nothing else, I will go back first, otherwise I will be discovered by the Wang family and his wife later."

"Go ahead, remember to get it as soon as possible!" The subordinate looked at Huo Wei's back, and said again.

For some reason, I still don't believe in him.

The next day, Mrs. Wang sent Wang Yongan to the academy early. And Song Qian, who also sent the ingots to the academy, came back in a carriage.

"Why is business so cold today?" Song Qian followed Wang Niangzi into the shop, looking a little strange in the hall that was very different from yesterday's crowd, but more worried.

At this time, Wang Wu came from the backyard and replied when he heard Song Qian's words: "There are no raw materials for making the balm, and there are too many people who need them, but there is no stock, so they can only go back and wait first, and then come to pick it up when it is ready." No, I'm waiting for Ah Lian to come back and go buy spices together."

Huo Wei, who was settling accounts at this time, heard this, and his heart became happy, and he was afraid that he wanted them to leave quickly.

"It just so happens that I'm going to the market to buy some things, so let's go together." Because the raw materials for the desserts in the shop were gone, Song Qian just took this opportunity to buy them back, so as not to run again after going back.

Wang Wu and Wang Niangzi agreed, and after a simple tidying up, they were about to set off, and before leaving, Wang Wu also instructed Huo Wei: "Remember to look at the shop, if someone comes to buy the balm, write down the name first, and tell them to wait for the balm to be made before sending it."

"Write it down, shopkeepers, don't worry." Huo is the next one.

After arranging here, Wang Niangzi and Wang Wu took the lead in getting into Song Qian's carriage. Huo Wei saw them leaving, so he impatiently went to the backyard and rummaged in Wang Wu and Wang Niangzi's room.

"Where did you put it?" After looking around, Huo Wei couldn't find it, and he was very impatient.

Just when Song Qian was about to go up, Wang Niangzi suddenly said, "It's broken, the purse fell on the cabinet, and there is money to buy spices inside, I'll go get it."

Saying that, she was about to get out of the car, but Song Qian hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's better for me to go, after all, I haven't gotten into the carriage yet, and you still have to toss."

This is indeed the truth, so Wang Niangzi was very embarrassed to thank Song Qian and said, "Then I will bother Song Niangzi."

"It's okay, it's not troublesome."

Song Qian returned to the shop, and really saw the money bag placed on the cabinet, and when he was about to take it and leave, he turned around and saw Huo Wei coming out of Wang Wu's house. Vigilant, she saw at a glance that something was wrong.

The other party was very surprised when he saw her, but he was more panicked, as if he had done something bad and had been discovered.

What is he looking for? Song Qian pondered. In the end, he didn't open his mouth to question, but watched thoughtfully as he left and got into the carriage.

Huo Wei comforted himself that he didn't find anything, so he was worried about where the recipe was, so he turned the whole shop upside down, but he didn't find it.

After Song Qian and the others came to the bazaar, Wang Niangzi found that Song Qian seemed to have something on her mind, and when Wang Wu went to buy spices, she asked in a low voice, "Song Niangzi, but what happened?"

"I just saw Huo Wei from you

come out of the room." Song Qian thought about it and told Wang Niangzi about it, and the other party was very shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly cared about whether he had lost something.

Song Qian comforted her and said, "I don't think his purpose is silver taels, otherwise he could have stolen while making accounts. I suspect he's using the balm recipe, maybe he's the eyeliner someone else sent."

"Eyeliner? Could it be that it's still the Jia family?" Wang Niangzi was suddenly a little afraid, after all, she had seen the power of the Jia family at the beginning, if it fell into their hands this time, wouldn't it be a repeat of the same mistake? .

Knowing what Wang Niangzi was worried about, Song Qian told her the plan he had thought of: "Wang Niangzi, you don't have to worry, if he is really eyeliner, it must be for the balm prescription. If he wants it, we will give it to him. But it certainly can't be that he get the real formula, but a little more varied."

Wang Niangzi probably guessed what Song Qian wanted to do, although she was a little unsure, she still planned to give it a go, but more importantly, she believed that Song Qian would not harm herself.

"I've already bought it, do you have anything else to buy?" Wang Wu carried baskets full of spices onto the carriage and questioned the two of them.

Song Qian and Wang Niangzi glanced at each other, and tacitly decided not to tell him what they had just conspiracy and what they knew.

"I'm going to buy some groceries, and if you two are tired and don't want to go, wait here for me, and I'll be back soon."

Hearing Song Qian's words, Wang Wu denied it and said, "It's nothing to be tired, Mrs. Song has a lot of things to buy, I'll go and get it for you."

Wang Niangzi wants to avoid him and Song Qian to discuss Huo Wei's affairs, this is naturally a great opportunity, and it can't be stirred up. So she asked Wang Wu to sit down, pretending to be okay and said, "You were already very tired just now, so let me accompany Mrs. Song." You can keep an eye on the spices and the wagons here, and we'll be back when we go." Soon."

"I'd better go, after all, this is hard work, how can you do it?" Wang Wu is very sincere, he wants to help Song Qian, and wants to repay her kindness to the Wang family everywhere.

Wang Niangzi pushed him to the carriage again and said, "Song Niangzi just said that there are not many things to buy, and I can help get them back when I go. Rest for a while, and you'll have to make balm when you get back."

When it came to this matter, Wang Wu compromised.

Because it takes a long time to make incense, he often doesn't rest well, and his body will gradually collapse after a while. So Wang Niangzi is right, he really needs to rest.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you here." Wang Wu finally obeyed Wang Niangzi's words and returned to the carriage to rest.

Seeing this, Song Qian and Wang Niangzi hurriedly left, for fear that Wang Wu would suddenly repent, thus disrupting their plans.
