Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 356 Lost?

In the backyard of the Lu family, Lu Ling was having dinner with Shao Shuyi.

The two of them sat very close to each other, and Lu Ling tried his best to be friendly.

But Shao Shuyi kept looking at Lu Ling.

This Lu Ling looked very handsome, but he was a little thin. No matter how you looked at him... he was not her type.

Moreover, she also smelled a woman's scent on the other person.

Although the fragrance was very faint, she could still smell it.

This means that Lu Ling is likely to often look for women.

This... made her even more unhappy!

"Miss Shao, do you like today's meal?"

"If it doesn't suit your taste, I'll ask my servants to change it."

When Lu Ling saw Shao Shuyi staring at him, his expression became a little unnatural.

Does Shao Shuyi want to do something?

"Haha, Mr. Lu, there's no need to bother. It tastes great. Thank you for your help."

Shao Shuyi smiled faintly.

"As long as Miss Shao likes it!"

"By the way, I also prepared a gift for Miss Shao. I hope she likes it."

Lu Ling said with a smile on his face.

Then he clapped his hands lightly, and immediately a servant came out holding a small wooden box.

"Hehe~Mr. Lu, you are too polite. You don't need to give me a gift, right?"

Shao Shuyi smiled faintly.

The Shao family is wealthy and powerful. As the eldest daughter of the Shao family, what has she not seen?

Does she still need Lu Ling to give her a gift?

But Lu Ling opened the wooden box directly.

"Miss Shao, although this thing is not expensive, it is a token of my appreciation."

"You take a look first."

As he spoke, Lu Ling handed the box to Shao Shuyi.

Shao Shuyi first smelled a fragrance, then looked over unconsciously.

Seeing this, Shao Shuyi couldn't help but frown slightly: "What is this...?"

……

Looking at the small cube in the wooden box, Shao Shuyi was confused.

Isn't this jade?

But it looks crystal clear and has a fragrance...

"Miss Shao, this thing is called soap. Apply it on your body when you wash your face and take a bath. It can make your skin whiter and more delicate, and it will also leave a faint aftertaste!" Lu Ling introduced with a smile.

"Soap?"

Shao Shuyi was slightly stunned.

How had she never heard of such a thing?

Is this thing really as magical as Lu Ling said?

"Miss Shao, you may not know that this soap is very popular in our Luzhou County now."

"This was done by Jingyuan Hou Jiang Chen. Now I have reached a cooperation with Jingyuan Hou. Except for Luzhou County, all the soap business in other counties of Dajing has been handed over to my Lu family!"

Lu Ling said with a smug look on his face.

But when Shao Shuyi heard Lu Ling's words, she seemed to be thinking about something.

When Lu Ling took out the soap, it seemed like he wasn't just giving it to her simply!

Lu Ling was indirectly telling her that he had a relationship with Jiang Chen, and... there was such a big business!

Haha, that’s interesting!

However, what Shao Shuyi was really interested in was the Marquis of Jingyuan, Jiang Chen!

He was conferred a title of nobility at a young age and came from a rural background.

Proficient in medicine and multiple skills.

Who wouldn't be interested in this kind of talent?

"Haha, Master Lu is really capable!"

"Then I'll accept this soap. Thank you Mr. Lu for your hospitality today. I'll go to my residence first."

"Farewell~"

Shao Shuyi stood up, bowed slightly to Lu Ling, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Lu Ling hurriedly sent Shao Shuyi to the door.

Only after Shao Shuyi left did Lu Ling feel relieved.

She didn't know why, but she always felt an inexplicable pressure when facing Shao Shuyi!

But fortunately, we have Jiang Chen’s soap!

otherwise……

Lu Ling shook his head helplessly.

But when thinking of Jiang Chen, Lu Ling had an inexplicable feeling in his heart...

……

"Ah!"

On the other side, Jiang Chen was watching the female soldiers training in the courtyard.

But for some reason, someone suddenly sneezed.

Could it be that because of the recent change of seasons, he took off his cotton coat too quickly?

Now that spring is here and flowers are blooming, he naturally wants to dress more comfortably, and he's in pretty good shape too!

But just when Jiang Chen was thinking this, Zhang Ningshuang came to Jiang Chen with a concerned look on her face.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay? Could it be that you have caught a cold?"

Because Jiang Chen was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, Zhang Ningshuang was bending over when she said this.

But when she bent over, her hot body...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Jiang Chen stood up quickly!

"Ningshuang, I'm fine. You...you continue training. I'm thirsty. I'll go back and drink some water!"

Jiang Chen ran away as fast as he could.

He didn't dare to watch it anymore. It was really... insulting!

But Zhang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Chen's strange expression with a puzzled look on her face.

Jiang Chen...what happened?

Don't you like her?

It was not until Zhang Ningshuang looked down that she realized that her figure was exposed too much.

However, Jiang Chen...should like it!

When Zhang Ningshuang thought of this, her face turned red with embarrassment.

On the other side, after Jiang Chen returned to the study, he hurriedly picked up the herbal tea and took a few sips.

This calmed his restless heart.

But just as Jiang Chen was drinking tea, Xu Yunchang walked in!

……

"Sir, there's something going on at Lichunyuan!"

"Um!?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this!

He had just asked Xu Yunchang to send someone to keep an eye on Lichunyuan, and it's only been two days, and they've already made a discovery! ?

"What's going on? Tell me."

"Yes!"

When Xu Yunchang heard what Jiang Chen said, he hurriedly told Jiang Chen everything his subordinates had reported.

"At noon today, the second and third masters of the Lu family went to Lichun Courtyard. They stayed there for a long time before leaving!"

"Going to Lichunyuan at noon?"

Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

There is definitely something wrong with this!

What's more, the Yihong Tower belongs to the Lu family. Even if the second and third masters of the Lu family really can't control themselves, they should go to the Yihong Tower!

"Did you find anything else?"

"Sir, besides this, there are some other discoveries!"

"There are always beggars gathering at the back door of Lichunyuan."

"And our brothers always lose a few of the beggars when they follow them!"

Xu Yunchang said respectfully.

"Have we lost all the elite veterans?"

This situation made Jiang Chen surprised!

All the elite veterans are lost!

Then these beggars must be no simple people!

It seems that there is indeed something wrong with Lichunyuan!

"Send more people, and focus on following the beggars who were lost in the past!"

"Yes!"

Xu Yunchang took the order respectfully and left.

But Jiang Chen began to think.

He originally thought that Lichunyuan was just a simple brothel.

But now it seems that we have discovered that Lichunyuan is not simple!

He wanted to see who was behind Lichunyuan.

At the same time, a group of people were gathering in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Luzhou County.

Among these people, there are ordinary people, rural people, Taoists, and beggars!

"Everyone, when I went to Lichunyuan to collect information today, it seemed like someone was following me!"
