Chapter Thirty-Three Young Master, what are you going to do?

  "Wait, young master, what are you doing going to the Zhao's house?"

  The first thing Qian Shui did was to ask her young master, why he suddenly wanted to go to the Zhao's house. However, since they were currently in a crowded teahouse, she had to take a few steps forward to catch up with Mu Siyao, and then asked in a low voice. Although she always remembered the proper etiquette between masters and servants, she would often unintentionally reveal some distance that was not typical of ordinary master-servant relationships.

  "It's nothing much... just going to take a look."

  Mo Si Yao gave her a sidelong glance and smiled, his eyebrows slightly raised due to the smile, the curve of his lips, but what was most captivating were his clear yet somewhat cunning eyes. With just one turn of his eyeballs, you couldn't guess what he wanted to say or do next. Even though he had already said that he was only going to take a look at the Zhao residence, Qian Shui naturally understood that it wouldn't be that simple.

  "Does the young master seem interested in Shen Huan?"

  As he walked down the street, Mu Siyao once again caused a stir. The girls all secretly glanced at him, and some of the bolder ones even followed him closely. Their eyes openly showed their admiration, but Mu Siyao seemed to be immune to this, not only was he unmoved, but he even started talking to himself.

  Thinking back to the first time he met Shen Huan, that fleeting shadow, and the second time they met, when she saved a drowning girl in a way he had never seen before, Mu Siyao's face couldn't help but reveal the expression of a hunter seeing his prey, with a hint of plundering and possession: "It's not that I'm interested in her, but... there's something about her that neither you nor I can think of!"

  Seeing the spark in Mushi Yao's eyes, as a qualified subordinate, Qian Shui had to remember Master's teachings at all times and remind Young Master of his purpose for coming out this time: "Young Master, you should know that Master agreed to let you come out and travel around because you promised him that you would bring..."

  "I'm telling you, Qian Shui... you really should learn from your brother Qian Fan..."

  "I understand, young master, you have your own thoughts, I won't say anything more."

  Mei Ziyao ate another turtle, and then suddenly shut her mouth, saying nothing. In fact, she was thinking that instead of talking about the master-servant relationship with Qian Shui, it would be better to say that she had simply changed the way she interacted with herself, but as she walked, a very serious problem occurred to her...

  "Where is this Zhao family?"

  "Young master, don't you know?"

  "Of course! Am I supposed to know?"

  When he heard this, Mu Siyao immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around to face Qian Shui, and his eyes naturally swept across the surrounding gazes that were cast upon him. Qian Shui clearly saw a hint of displeasure at the bottom of his eyes. Mu Siyao was too unpredictable, even if she had once been moved by him, she still suppressed it with reason and didn't sink in deeply.

  It's not that he's unpredictable, but rather that he can't open up his heart to people. He only shows his true self occasionally. Maybe when you see him smiling and chatting with you, it's because he's in a good mood or has some thoughts on his mind. Take now for example, he took an interest in the woman named Shen Huan, and enthusiastically approached her. As for whether it was just a whim, there's no need to ask or clarify, Qian Shui understood clearly that he must have had his own reasons and motives.

  It's fortunate for Qian Shui that Mu Siyao, even if he doesn't show his true self to others, is extremely good to them and their siblings. He won't say many words of concern, but when assigning tasks, he will do so according to their abilities and specialties. If there's any real danger, he definitely won't assign it to them, instead choosing to go himself.

  "You walked downstairs with confidence and said you were going to Zhao's house, I thought you knew!"

  Moyao looked at Qianshui with a pair of eyes that seemed to say "Are you an idiot?"

  "If I had known, would I still have asked you to investigate?"

  Moyao seems to be in a really good mood, usually if there's something on his mind, he'll be very serious, just like the first two times Shen Huan met him, he wouldn't have said so much and wouldn't have seemed so easy-going, let alone show such a playful side.

  "Over here!"

  She decided not to talk to him anymore, otherwise she would be choked to death. This was Qian Shui's real feeling at the moment. She just didn't understand why Qian Fan and Master went to do things together, Master would always be particularly normal, but once the person following the task changed to herself, he became a bit... This was something that Qian Shui couldn't quite accept.

  The farther they walked, the more Ma Sanyao's eyebrows furrowed into a caterpillar shape. It wasn't that he looked down on this small household, but rather that deep down, he felt that a woman like Shen Han shouldn't be living in such a difficult environment.

  "It's this room..."

  "This?"

  When she was still a dozen or so steps away from the entrance of Zhao's house, Qian Shui stopped in her tracks and pointed at the gate of the courtyard, which had already fallen off. She was also puzzled, as when she came to confirm Shen Han's residence earlier, this door was indeed broken and shaky, but it was still hanging on, so how did it really die within an hour?

  Moyao walked a few steps forward with some doubt, just about to take another two steps to sneak a peek at the situation inside. Anyway, there was no gate, which made it convenient for eavesdropping...

  His idea had not been implemented yet, and a commotion came from behind. He turned his head to take a look, and it was an old woman he didn't know and another woman who looked very powerful coming towards him together. The woman on her back was still muttering something in her mouth, which couldn't be heard clearly at some distance. He simply raised his head and chest, pretending to pass by, walking past the gate of the courtyard, and glanced inside, but only saw three men coming towards him.

  He couldn't help but slow down his pace, thinking that his appearance here would be a bit strange. After all, he and Qian Shui were both strangers in Fucheng Town. He simply continued to walk forward, while Qian Shui naturally understood his intentions and quietly followed him from the side, even more stealthily than Mu Siyao, making Mu Siyao think to himself: Indeed suitable for reconnaissance, this guy is quite agile!

  Li and Wu Er brought the midwife to carry Shen Han back home, a group of people hurriedly didn't notice Mu Siyao, this unexpected guest. In fact, no matter how you look at it, Mu Siyao doesn't fit in with them. Shen Han was dizzy and disoriented on Huang's back, almost waking up once, but was knocked out again by her powerful footsteps. At this moment, when she stopped moving, she vaguely saw a shadow in her line of sight, like a snake slithering away...

  Huang Pobo was really unable to carry it anymore, and Wu Er was a man who didn't like to lift his hands either. Moreover, there was also a newly delivered wife at home, so he felt relieved after safely sending the person to the door, and handed over the prepared gift money to Li Shi and Huang Pobo. He nodded slightly to them with some embarrassment, and hurriedly ran back. As soon as Shen Han was put down, Li Shi couldn't wait to shout into the house: "Qiao Er, come out quickly! Has Yi Feng returned?"

  Shen Wing-feng waited for a while, but Shen Huan still didn't return. He opened his mouth to say he was going back, and thus Mu Si-yao happened to see three men walking out of the courtyard together when she stole a glance. Li's shout scared the three of them half to death.

  "Mom, what's wrong?"

  As soon as Zhao Xi heard his mother's voice, he became anxious. Although he was still pretending to be calm and didn't want to lose his composure in front of others, he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes. He was the first one to step out of the door and see Shen Han half-leaning on his mother, her eyes tightly closed and her body weak, just like the last time she came back from the Yuan's house. A thread of reluctance and anger suddenly arose in his heart, but Wu Er's figure had already disappeared around the corner while running, and he couldn't find anyone to vent his emotions to.

  "Your sister-in-law has fainted..."

  "Auntie, let me carry little sister back home to rest!"

  Shen Yifeng also followed Zhao Xiqiao's footsteps and came out, seeing this scene he didn't ask any questions, but walked straight to Li's side, after saying this sentence he squatted down beside his aunt, with the help of Li and Huang Pobo, they put Shen Han on his back, then he carefully got up and carried Shen Han back to the room.

  Huang Pobo also got the money she deserved, and after saying goodbye to Li Shi, she left. Li Shi didn't even have time to bid her farewell, only thanked her before following her into the house. The courtyard gate had already fallen to the ground, so it could only be left open. It wasn't until the courtyard was quiet that Mu Siyao and Qian Shui came out from the other side. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he looked at the scene, with a hint of melancholy flashing across his eyes...

  He stood for a moment, looking around, then took off in big strides towards the right direction. Qian Shui couldn't quite understand his young master's thoughts this time. After all, the serious and solemn expression on Mu Siyao's face just now was one that only appeared when Qian Fan couldn't handle some things. He didn't expect it to be because of seeing that girl Shen Han fainting, yet he had such worries. This matter... seemed not so simple after all!

  Silently following the young master around the outer wall of the house, Mu Siyao finally stopped in front of a certain spot. Qian Shui's heart skipped a beat as he looked at him with some trepidation. Mu Siyao's expression seemed somewhat gloomy, like he had been struck by lightning and turned dark. Qian Shui couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Young Master, what are you going to do?"
