“Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Hong Ling to send a letter to Yuzhou. The Chen family’s case has been delayed for three years, but I don’t know if the information from that girl is true or not. After all, back then, the Chen family tried everything they could but to no avail. How could a girl know about it now? If her information is fake, I think the Chen family won’t let her off easy,” Ji Yushu said with a snack in his mouth.
“Since she’s here to sell information, it must be true.” Xie Jingxing frowned. “But there’s still sothing that doesn’t make sense about this matter.”
“Are you starving?” Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu wolfing down the food and couldn’t help but shake his head. “Why do you look like you haven’t taken a bite of food for a couple of days? Aren’t you the shopkeeper of this pawnshop?”
“Tch.” Ji Yushu stretched out a finger and shook it. “The snacks elsewhere are not as good as the ones made by Third Brother’s personal chef. Last ti, I brought the snacks made by Third Brother’s chef to Miss Shaoyao, and guess what? Miss Shaoyao actually smiled at after eating it. So what I’m trying to say is that…” He picked up a snack and waved it in front of Gao Yang. “These snacks are really good.”
Gao Yang couldn’t be bothered with him. Suddenly, he saw Ji Yushu’s expression turn serious. He thought of sothing and took out a banknote from his pocket. “Speaking of which, Miss Shen still gave a thousand taels worth of banknotes in the end to buy so information.”
“What information?” Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang looked at him at the sa ti.
“She said she was looking for a girl called Liu Ying. She said… this girl is probably from a brothel in the capital. She asked to find her.” He asked curiously, “Why is she looking for a girl from a brothel? Does she like beauties like ?”
Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing looked at each other. The forr was puzzled, and the latter only shook his head slightly.

When Shen Miao was brought out by Hong Ling, Mo Qing and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Miao had been in there for too long. If she stayed any longer, they would probably rush in to rescue her. Before they left, Shen Qiu reminded them repeatedly that they had to be careful on the way. If they really lost Shen Miao, Shen Qiu would definitely punish them.
Hong Ling smiled politely at Shen Miao and said, “Miss Shen, you can co back in ten days.”
“Thank you, Miss Hong,” Shen Miao replied softly.
This was probably the first ti the shop assistant saw Hong Ling being so respectful to soone. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Shen Miao.
After Shen Miao and the others got into the carriage and left, the assistant asked Hong Ling, “Miss Hong, who is that girl?”
“Do your thing and mind your own business.” Hong Ling patted his head gently. After thinking for a mont, she said, “Next ti you see Miss Shen, be more respectful. She’s not simple.”
The young man quickly nodded. Hong Ling looked at the departing carriage and sighed. There were indeed many talented people in the capital.
In the carriage, Shen Miao was deep in thought. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were afraid of disturbing her thoughts, so they didn’t say anything. In fact, they didn’t know what Shen Miao was up to today. It was clearly a pawnshop, but they didn’t know what Shen Miao was pawning. However, the two maids wouldn’t ask if Shen Miao didn’t intend to tell them.
When they passed by a place, Gu Yu smiled and said, “Guangfu Restaurant is up ahead. We haven’t been out for a long ti. Why don’t I go and buy so snacks from Guangfu Restaurant?”
The snacks at Guangfu Restaurant had always been popular. It was not packed with custors at this mont, so there was no harm in buying so snacks. Although Shen Miao did not like it, Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu liked it. Shen Miao nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
