73: Tracing Li Chen

After sending off the manservant, he still could not see Shen Shilin back. 2

At dinner time, Xi Cui suddenly ran over." Young Madame, Third Young Master said he won't come back for dinner tonight. I told you not to wait for him."

"Did he say when he would be back?" Su Xiang asked.

Xi Cui shook her head in confusion." No, Third Young Master quickly hung up the phone."

"Okay, let's eat first!"

After dinner, Su Xiang finished washing his clothes and lay on the couch alone. The square box was placed by her bedside. As long as she Shen Shilin back, she could see it at a glance.

She glanced at the tiger's head and turned off the light hesitantly. Just as she was about to lie down, she saw a fluorescent light appear on the head of the bed. It was as dazzling as the starlight in the dark sky.

Su Xiang switched on the lamp again and found that the light was coming from this small and exquisite square box. He picked it up and carefully thought about it. However, he accidentally touched a corner of the tiger's head. Very quickly, with a bang, the box seemed to be broken and something heavy fell onto the pillow towel.

Looking down, it was a pearl that seemed to be the legendary Night Pearl.

It was reasonable to say that the Warlord manor did not lack these jewelry. Before she married Shen Family, the betrothal gifts Shen Shilin gave her were at least ten of them.

However, for a country Doctor like this, a bead was already quite expensive. It was more or less a gift. Thinking about it, she wanted to assemble the pieces of the box again. However, she found that the pieces of the square box were not messy, but rather orderly. It reminded her of the puzzle that Steward Liu had given her when she was young. This square wooden box was simply made up of a few words!

She arranged the pieces one by one and realized that they were four words, three, five, ten, and months!

What did these words mean? Now, Su Xiang already knew the lame Doctor's character. He and Old Li from the Hong Fa barber's shop had Shen Shilin laid their eyes on the South Of The Yangtze River. However, these eyes were gone.

A trace of guilt flashed through her heart. She had actually seen these two people when she was Tong Cheng. When she recalled the scene back then, it seemed that these two people were loyal to Shen Shilin. Even if they lost their lives, they would not hesitate.

However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the matter was odd. If this square box was an important piece of information, there was no need for her to spend so much effort on a box. Even if she Doctor a lame foot, before she left, she would say something to the servant, Ah Fu. It would not be difficult for her to ask him to give Shen Shilin a word.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the door. It was Shen Shilin back.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" The man's tall figure quickly appeared in the room, but he looked a little tired.

"Shi Lin, Ah Fu has already returned to Tong Cheng."

"Huh?" The man frowned as if he was suspicious.

"This is something he left behind. He said his master gave it to him on his deathbed, but I accidentally broke it." Su Xiang Eye Light flashed.

Shen Shilin stared at the bead in Su Xiang hand. His hand, which was originally intended to unbutton, stopped. He quickly walked in front of Su Xiang and took the transparent bead, which was the size of a goose egg. He said in a low voice," Is there anything else?"

"And these pieces of wood. Take a look."

Shen Shilin lowered his head and looked at the wooden chips on the couch, his brows tightly locked.

"Can you see what this means?" She asked softly.

"March 15th!" The man suddenly lowered his voice. A trace of worry flashed across his resolute face.

"March 15th, what's wrong?"

"March 15th, Army Xiao will take down Tong Cheng!" Shen Shilin voice was a little hoarse. Her originally tired expression became even more haggard and helpless.

Tong Cheng was connected to Yi Chuan. The two cities were the closest. If Army Xiao had intentionally taken Tong Cheng, then the next target would definitely be Yi Chuan...

"Shi Lin, what do you plan to do?" She looked at Shen Shilin with anticipation, but she was more worried. Shen Shilin was now a visiting envoy of the five provinces, and the internal regime still needed to be stabilized. There was no reason to compete with Army Xiao for anything. To be precise, a Bei Di warlord leader did not have to pay attention to the lives of the people in the distant Tong Cheng and Yi Chuan.

"Madam, there's no need to worry about the military. Go to bed earlier!"

She clearly knew that the man was trying to avoid the topic, but she couldn't say anything more. She only replied in a low voice before letting the man tuck her in and lay down quietly.

The man had always been clean and tidy, but tonight, unexpectedly, he didn't wash his clothes. After turning off the light, he quickly rubbed against the woman.

In the dark night, the man did not say a word, but he tightly held the woman in his arms, as if he would not let go no matter what he experienced.

Outside the room, there was a gust of wind that slammed against the French window. It made people feel a little bored. Su Xiang slowly breathed, feeling the heavy breathing coming from above their heads. Then, they calmed down and closed their eyes. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

The next morning Su Xiang when he woke up, Shen Shilin had already left.

Xicui seemed to have noticed her abnormality when she was dressing for Young Madame. She quickly comforted her," Young Madame, Warlord the military is really busy recently. You mustn't be angry with Warlord and hurt the harmony between husband and wife."

Su Xiang heard this and smiled angrily at Xi Cui." You little girl, where are you thinking!"

"Good!" Xi Cui smiled. "Oh Young Madame, it's New Year's Eve today. I heard that the streets are bustling with activity. Madam, what kind of food do you like to eat? Xi Cui Yang brought it back."

"Xi Cui, why don't you buy a box of rouge for me later? I do n' t worry about your taste. If it was someone else, it wouldn't work."

"Really Young Madame" Xi Cui was the last to praise her. Her face had already turned red.

"It's true. Tomorrow will be the new year. I' m going to dress up, right?"

"Young Madame, you're finally enlightened. Xi Cui combed your hair for you. I' ll go right away!"

Xi Cui had already gone downstairs. Su Xiang pretended that he had left something in the study room. In front of the guards, he naturally walked in and quickly closed the door.

She didn't have any connections in the Xin Cheng. If she wanted to investigate Li Chen now, she would probably need Master's help.

Steward Liu was in charge of the Su Family's account room. There was an ancient copper phone inside. It was specially used by Steward Liu to connect with everything outside the Su Family.

She quickly dialed Su Family number.

The other party quickly understood her intentions and simply replied with a few words," No.3 Liu Street ".

Su Xiang happily put down the microphone and quickly changed into a set of casual clothes, plaid pants, goose down coat. He held a cane in his hand and claimed that he wanted to go out to meet a friend. Soon, he got into a rickshaw.

"Master, please go to number three of Liu Street. The sooner the better."

An hour later, she finally arrived at the legendary Liu Street. It was actually a dilapidated street. There were quite a few broken walls and ruins that were strewn across wantonly. There were few people, as if they could smell a faint smell of smoke.
