Chapter 376 ·Shocked

Although Mrs. Tang has always been considerate in doing things, Bai Rongxuan always felt that things were unexpectedly strange, as if her little thoughts had been guessed by her grandmother and had nowhere to hide.

However, in front of Wu Jie, she didn't say much and asked Xiaoyuan to accompany Wu Jie to have dinner.

The next morning, Wu Jie left the house and waited until the evening before coming back. He ran happily to find Bai Rongxuan, "Miss Xuan, do you know Dafangli?"

Dafangli?

Bai Rongxuan had never heard of it before, shook her head and said, "What is that? Is it a place name?"

"No!" Wu Jie's eyes were full of excitement, "It's a wine shop in Hangzhou City. It has many branches and one is very close to our tea shop. When I asked how to go to Shaoxing, I happened to meet their shopkeeper. I knew I was from the Tang family and was going to Shaoxing again. The shopkeeper politely asked me to go with them. They were going to Shaoxing the day after tomorrow."

"Is there such a coincidence?" Bai Rongxuan saw someone walking with him, which was more reassuring than going on the road alone. She nodded happily, "It's better. It's the first time you went out. If someone followed me, I don't have to worry so much. Just from Shaoxing to Ningbo, you have to walk alone."

"Don't worry." Wu Jie seemed particularly excited because he was able to go out. "In the future, I will follow Master Zhi and maybe go to a farther place. If I don't experience it at this time, I will be in a state of poverty that I have never seen the world. It will only embarrass Master Zhi. I will make the journey familiar with it first, and I will know what to do if I have such a thing in the future."

The Bai family in Shanghai has been in chaos, and the internal and external houses have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and the interpersonal relationships are complicated. My brother is a scholar who turns a blind eye to things outside the window. He has never participated in the intrigue between high-ranking families, so it is difficult to be a match for those people. Moreover, my mother has never mentioned the Bai family over the years, but I am afraid that my brother still doesn't know that one day he will return to the Bai family to inherit the third house's business. If he doesn't prepare for him at this time, it will be even more difficult for him to adapt to the situation. Not to mention anything else, the second house family will be enough for him to stand it. Fortunately, Wu Jie is flexible and if he can help his brother on the side, he can make his life smoother.

Bai Rongxuan reminded Wu Jie a few words and asked about his arrangements, "Then let's go out the day after tomorrow, and have a good rest at home tomorrow to nourish your energy. It's not that fun to go out, and it's a very hard thing."

She had a deep understanding of this. She and Wu Ma were busy with their boats in her previous life, and had traveled too many places, suffered too much pain and suffered too much.

Wu Jie said, "I'll go out tomorrow! Since I've agreed to go out tomorrow, don't change my words at this time, so as not to change my words and my mother will doubt it. It's clear that there was a problem with the land production and I was rushing to wait for me to go back to deal with it. I must be impatient to leave. Why would I wait like this without any trouble?"

That's true.

Bai Rongxuan asked, "Then where are you going tomorrow?"

Wu Jie smiled slightly, "Let me find a place to deal with it for a night. Miss Xuan don't have to worry. I've been living in a cowshed and I have no place to stay. Anyway, I can only stay for one night. I will go on the road with the Dafangli guy the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay." Bai Rongxuan saw that he had made up his mind and didn't say much, "I still say the same thing. You must pay attention to safety. You must come back with all the time, otherwise I will not be able to explain to your mother."

"Don't worry, Miss." Wu Jie smiled, "Life is mine, I will definitely cherish it more than you. If you miss your arms and legs when you go out to inquire about Aunt Xiang's affairs, it would be too unworthy. I will have a great achievement in the future."

Only by understanding your own preciousness can you take care of your own safety. It seems that what I said to him last night still had some effect.

Bai Rongxuan let him go.

When Wu Jie left the house, she began to feel uneasy, fearing that something would happen along the way and would not end in the end.

Bai Rongxuan was restless and accompanied Tang Xueru to embroidery. After six or seven days, Wu Jiecai rushed back in turmoil.

On the day when Wu Jie returned to the Tang family, Mrs. Zhang invited Huang to visit the house, and Huang took Bai Rongxuan as a companion. Seeing that the lady was not at home, Wu Jie went to see her mother first. Naturally, Wu Jie didn't know that her son had actually gone to Ningbo for a while these days. She thought he had just returned to the countryside, and asked calmly, "How is it? The problem of land has been solved?"

Wu Jie nodded, "It's not a big deal. You have already prepared everything clearly. Don't worry."

Wu Ma said a few times, and saw that her son's clothes were pleated, and hurriedly said, "You go back to the room to wash up, then change your clothes. When Miss Xuan comes back, don't forget to go over and kowtow to her!"

This is the Tang family. If someone else's family changes, how can the servants in the family run outside every few days?

Wu Jie has not been a servant since childhood. Although he lived in the countryside before, he had never been able to kneel down whenever he saw anyone. He had been in the Tang family for so long, but it was only the first time he saw Mrs. Tang and Tang. As for the others... he was always a little embarrassed. Especially when facing Bai Rongxuan, he felt uncomfortable all over. The other party was younger than him!

Fortunately, Bai Rongxuan never mentioned this. Wu Jie just thought she didn't care about these red tape, so he simply turned a blind eye to her as if she didn't remember it.

Hearing his mother mention it, he responded hurriedly and pretended to be anxious to go back to the room to wash. Before Wu's mother could talk about anything else, he had already slipped away quickly.

After washing up, I was about to go out, but unexpectedly, Madam Li was standing outside the door.

Wu Jie suddenly looked furious, "Madam, why are you here?"

Madam Li smiled slightly, "I heard that you are back, so I specially asked me to come and see you. It was smooth and safe along the way, no accidents happened."

"No, no! Everything is fine." Wu Jie's eyes changed, but his expression was particularly calm. "I was about to kowtow to her, but I just came back from outside and got dirty. I was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy, so I went back to the room and changed into a clean set of clothes..."

Before he could finish talking in a long and long way, Madam Li smiled and said, "Since you have done it, please follow me now, don't let the old lady wait for a long time."

Wu Jie was shocked when he heard something in her words. Why did the old lady meet her at this time? Could it be that she asked about her when she went to Shaoxing to meet Miss Lian?

Although Wu Jie was nervous, he still tried to follow Madam Li's footsteps to Mrs. Tang's place calmly. It was just after noon. Mrs. Tang was taking a nap at this time on weekdays, but today he was very energetic and sat on the mountain of the Arhat bed and drank tea quietly.

Wu Jie hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I've seen the old lady."

"I'm planning on the day, you should come back." Mrs. Tang put down the teacup, her voice softer, "Get up, you're exhausted along the way."

Wu Jie got up from the ground, "It's not too tired, it's going well all the way. As soon as I arrived in Shaoxing, I found out where Miss Lian's in-laws' house was. Because it was too late that day and it was really inconvenient to come to the house, I found a place to stay. I changed my clothes the next morning before I came to the door to see him. I heard that I was rushing from Hangzhou, and Miss Lian's in-laws' house manager immediately invited me into the house..."

He lowered his head and recalled the scene when he saw Tang Xuelian. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tang suddenly interrupted him, "I'll talk about this later. What did you find out when you went to Ningbo this time?"

Wu Jie widened his eyes in shock, raised his head and looked at Mrs. Tang in disbelief. She saw that Mrs. Tang had a faint expression, but there was a gleam in her eyes. Madam Li, who was beside her, also looked very clear, with a smile on her face.

Wu Jie opened his mouth, "I...I..."

"Don't be afraid, just to be honest." Mrs. Tang said, "Paper cannot cover the fire. I know what Xiangshi did, otherwise it would be impossible to let you go out! I have sent someone to inquire over Ningbo. This time I asked you to go, but I saw that you were young and sensitive, and I could see if I could find out some things that Yan Guanjun had not found."
