Chapter 23: An Unexpected Guest

Shen Yubai walked in front for a while, and suddenly found that the little heel wast was gone, and he panicked, worrying about whether his sister had been abducted by human traffickers.

He had heard a lot of stories about traffickers abducting children on the street, and they had all heard from people in the academy when they were talking about it.

Looking back in a panic, Shen Yubai saw his sister's figure in front of a vendor who had passed by earlier.

The candy figures at this stall are lifelike and very popular with children.

Shen Yubai looked at her sister's longing eyes, pursed her lips lightly, and her face was full of hesitation.

"Brother!"

Shen Yuerong reluctantly looked away, turned her head to see Shen Yubai, swallowed her saliva, and called him happily.

The recent harvest at home is not good, and he can't open the pot soon, Shen Yubai thought to himself, if his sister asked him for candy, he would have to be firmer this time, and he couldn't easily agree this time.

"Yuerong, next time my brother will give you ......"

Shen Yubai walked up to Yuerong and was about to promise to buy candy for her sister next time, when she sensibly pulled the hem of her clothes and said, "Brother, let's go." ā€

This made Shen Yubai stunned, "Yuerong, don't you want to eat candy people?" ā€

Shen Yuerong seemed to have been debunked all of a sudden, her little face was embarrassed, and then she waved her hand again and again, and said to Shen Yubai:

"I—I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat at all!"

She said this, but her eyes still couldn't help but look at the biggest and most exquisite candy man.

Shen Yubai couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her sister being so considerate.

"Yue Rong, it's my brother who is useless, and I can't buy delicious food for Yue Rong."

Shen Yuerong shook her head vigorously, and pulled Shen Yubai to leave the stall with a smile: "Yuerong doesn't blame my brother, it's okay, let's go quickly, don't you still have to sell medicinal herbs?" ā€

"Okay, wait next time, next time my brother will definitely buy candy for Yuerong."

"Okay, can my brother buy one for my sister too? When my sister came out last time, I stared at those good-looking sugar people for a long time~"

When it came to Shen Yuexi, Shen Yubai was not very happy, but since Yuerong said so, he nodded and agreed: "For Yuerong's sake, my brother also bought it for her, are you happy now?" ā€

"Mmmm, my brother is so good to Yue Rong~ Yue Rong likes her brother the most!"

The siblings continued to search for suitable buyers for the herbs.

After several twists and turns, Shen Yubai sold the medicinal materials and promised to send the remaining medicinal materials the next day.

In the evening, Shen Yuerong and Shen Yubai returned to Shen's house together.

Shen's father and Shen's mother only thought that their daughter was homesick, and they were very happy.

They were worried that Master Li would be unhappy, until they heard Shen Yuerong say that Master Li promised her that she could go home often, so they were relieved.

Late at night, everyone in the Shen family fell asleep.

A small figure slipped out of the room at this moment.

It was Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong beckoned to the two men and groped their way to the small warehouse where the dried medicinal materials were stored.

"You move all of this, put back what you prepared before, remember to be quiet, don't wake up your brother!"

"Don't worry." The two men also spoke in their voices.

By the moonlight, I could vaguely recognize their faces, which turned out to be the two guards that Master Li often saw beside him.

When the guards dropped all the medicinal herbs, Shen Yuerong spread out her hand and asked them for her reward, "Brother sold these herbs during the day, but I talked about five taels, you have to give me four taels!" ā€

Perhaps it was explained by Master Li, and the guards directly took out five taels of silver and handed them to Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong was overjoyed, holding the silver and putting it in her arms.

Seeing that the two guards were about to leave with medicinal herbs, she pulled them again and said as if to take credit: "By the way, after you go back, remember to tell Master Li that my brother sold fake medicine, and he can also use this matter to blackmail my brother at that time~"

The two guards glanced at each other when they heard this, and their eyes became different when they looked at Shen Yuerong.

This female doll, although she is young, has a deeper mind than the two of them combined.

No wonder Master Li is such a stingy person who is so good to this little girl.

When I was young, I was so good at doing business, and I was designated as an extraordinary person in the future.

Not to mention these two guards, even the monks who saw all this clearly outside the light curtain were shocked by Shen Yuerong's scheming.

They were speechless with their mouths slightly open.

They profess to be righteous people, and they never look down on such scheming people, let alone be in the company of them.

They just couldn't have imagined that such a sinister trick could come from the mouth of a child, and that she would even use it on her loved ones.

"I don't think those demon girls of the Demon Sect have this Shen Yuerong is vicious!" In the crowd, some people gritted their teeth.

"To say this is to defile the Demon Sect, I have heard people say that the people in the Demon Sect are not all heinous people."

Shen Yuerong used the silver taels she got from selling medicine to buy a candy man and ran home happily.

After eating the candy man, she didn't throw away the remaining bamboo skewers, but held them all in her hands.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw that Shen Yuerong threw all of these near Shen Yuexi's house, and took advantage of Shen Yuexi's work outside to paste the sugar stains on the mattress, creating the illusion that Shen Yuexi was stealing candy.

The next day, Shen Yubai found that a lot of ants had inexplicably drilled out of Shen Yuexi's room, and after careful inspection, he found the leftover sugar man in Shen Yuexi's room.

"Where did you get the money to buy so many sugar people?"

Shen Yubai didn't think about it, so he decided that it was Shen Yuexi who stole the candy man, and he was strange where Shen Yuexi got so much money.

And the wealthy businessman Master Li is there.

The two guards went back after finishing their errands and relayed Shen Yuerong's words to Master Li.

"Master, do you say this plan is feasible, then Shen Yuerong is just a little girl after all, will there be any mistakes?"

One of the guards thought about it carefully, worried that the plan would fail on Shen Yuerong's side.

Master Li glanced at his guard, his eyes were very disdainful, "I don't think you guys are as good as her little girl." ā€

"Do you think that the Ecstasy Grass was lost in vain? In Shen Yubai's opinion, since this Shen Yuexi had already dared to poison him, why didn't he dare to drop the medicinal materials at home? Some ideas have inadvertently taken root from a small seed and become an unshakable tree. ā€

"As for Shen Yuerong, will you believe that your innocent and well-behaved and sensible sister would do such a vicious thing?"

The two guards suddenly realized, and for a moment felt that a brand new door was slowly opening in front of them.

Master Li adopted Shen Yuerong's suggestion and quickly planned it.

Shen Yubai was busy sending the remaining medicinal materials from the buyer, and didn't care about Shen Yuexi's "stealing" for the time being.

When he came back after delivering the medicine, a day later, an unexpected guest was ushered in at home.
