Chapter 23 Unexpected Guest

Shen Yubai walked ahead for a while, and suddenly found that the little follower was missing. She panicked and worried that her sister had been abducted by human traffickers.

He had heard about many human traffickers abducting children on the street before, and he had heard them mentioned by people in the academy casually chatting.

Looking back in a panic, Shen Yubai saw his sister's figure in front of a vendor he passed by earlier.

The candy figures at this stall are so lifelike that they are very popular among children.

Shen Yubai looked at his sister's longing eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and looked hesitant.

"elder brother!"

Shen Yuerong reluctantly looked away, turned around and saw Shen Yubai, swallowed her saliva, and called him happily.

The recent harvest at home was not good, and it was almost impossible to open the pot. Shen Yubai thought to himself that if his sister asked him for candy, he would have to be firmer this time and not agree easily this time.

"Yue Rong, my brother will give it to you next time..."

Shen Yubai walked up to Yue Rong and was about to promise to buy candy for her sister next time when she heard her sensibly tugging at the hem of her clothes and saying, "Brother, let's go."

This made Shen Yubai stunned, "Yue Rong, don't you want to eat candy?"

Shen Yuerong seemed to have been exposed all of a sudden. She looked embarrassed, then waved her hands repeatedly and said to Shen Yubai:
"I, I don't want to eat, not at all!"

She said this, but she still couldn't help but look at the largest and most exquisite candy man with sticky eyes.

Shen Yubai couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his sister being so considerate.

"Yue Rong, it's my useless brother. I can't buy delicious food for Yue Rong."

Shen Yuerong shook her head vigorously and pulled Shen Yubai away from the stall with a smile: "Yuerong doesn't blame brother. It's okay. Let's go quickly. Don't we have to sell medicinal materials?"

"Okay, wait for the next time. Next time, my brother will buy candy for Yue Rong."

"Okay, brother, can you buy one for your sister? When my sister came out last time, she stared at those beautiful candy figures for a long time~"

When Shen Yuexi was mentioned, Shen Yubai was not very happy, but since Yuerong said so, he nodded and agreed: "For Yuerong's sake, my brother also bought it for her. Are you happy now?"

"Yeah, brother is so kind to Yue Rong~ Yue Rong likes brother the most!"

The brother and sister continued to look for suitable buyers of medicinal materials.

After several twists and turns, Shen Yubai sold the medicinal materials and promised to deliver the remaining medicinal materials the next day.

In the evening, Shen Yuerong and Shen Yubai returned to Shen's house together.

Father Shen and Mother Shen just thought their daughter was homesick, and they were very happy.

They were worried that Mr. Li would be unhappy, but they were relieved until they heard Shen Yuerong say that Mr. Li promised that she could go home often.

Late at night, everyone in the Shen family fell asleep.

At this moment, a small figure quietly slipped out of the room.

It was Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong greeted the two men and groped their way to the small warehouse where the dried medicinal materials were stored.

"You guys move all these away and put back what you prepared before. Remember to keep your voice down. Don't wake up my brother and the others!"

"Don't worry." The two men also spoke in a lowered voice.

Through the moonlight, I could vaguely make out their faces. They turned out to be the two guards who were often seen around Mr. Li.

After the guards had dropped all the herbs, Shen Yuerong spread his hands and asked them for his reward, "My brother negotiated five taels for selling these herbs during the day. You have to give me four taels!" Perhaps because of Master Li's instruction, the guards directly He took out five taels of silver and handed it to Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong was so happy that she held the silver and put it into her arms.

Seeing that the two guards were about to leave with the medicinal materials, she pulled them again and said as if asking for credit: "By the way, when you go back, remember to tell Mr. Li that my brother sold the fake medicine. He can still borrow this when the time comes." Something is threatening my brother~"

The two guards looked at each other when they heard this, and their eyes changed when they looked at Shen Yuerong.

Although this girl is young, her thoughts are deeper than those two grown men combined.

No wonder Mr. Li, who is so stingy, would be so fond of this little girl's film.

He has been good at doing business since he was a child, and he will definitely become an extraordinary person in the future.

Not to mention the two guards, even the monks who saw everything clearly from outside the light curtain were shocked by Shen Yuerong's scheming.

Their mouths were slightly open and speechless.

They consider themselves to be righteous people, but they never look down on such scheming people, let alone associate with them.

They just didn't expect that such a vicious trick would come from the mouth of a child, and that she would even use it on her closest relatives.

"I don't think those demon sects are as evil-hearted as this Shen Yuerong!" Someone in the crowd gritted his teeth.

"To say so is to taint the Demonic Cult. I have heard people say that not all people in the Demonic Cult are heinous people."

Shen Yuerong used the silver she earned from selling medicine to buy a candy man and ran home happily.

After eating the candy, she didn't throw away the remaining bamboo sticks, but held them all in her hands.

Just when everyone was confused, they saw Shen Yuerong throwing all these things near Shen Yuexi's house, and while Shen Yuexi was working outside, she put candies on the mattress, creating the illusion that Shen Yuexi was stealing candies.

The next day, Shen Yubai found a lot of ants inexplicably appearing outside Shen Yuexi's room. After careful inspection, he found the leftover candy man in Shen Yuexi's room.

"Where did you get the money to buy so many candy figures?"

Without thinking, Shen Yubai concluded that Shen Yuexi was the candy thief. He was curious as to where Shen Yuexi got so much money.

As for the wealthy businessman Mr. Li.

The two guards went back after finishing their work and relayed Shen Yuerong's words to Mr. Li.

"Master, do you think this plan is feasible? After all, Shen Yuerong is just a little girl. Is there anything wrong with it?"

One of the guards thought about it carefully and was worried that Shen Yuerong would fail the plan.

Master Li glanced at his guards with disdain in his eyes, "I think you are not as good as a little girl like her."

"Do you think that the ecstasy grass you bought before was for nothing? In Shen Yubai's view, since Shen Yuexi dared to poison him, why didn't she dare to buy the medicinal materials at home? Some concepts have been inadvertently changed from one day to the next. A small seed took root and grew into an unshakable tree.”

"As for Shen Yuerong, do you believe that your innocent, well-behaved and sensible sister would do such a vicious thing?"

The two guards suddenly realized, and for a moment they felt that a brand new door was slowly opening in front of them.

Mr. Li adopted Shen Yuerong's suggestion and quickly started planning.

Shen Yubai was busy delivering the remaining medicinal materials to the buyer, and did not care about Shen Yuexi's "stealing" for the time being.

When he returned after delivering the medicine, within a day, an unexpected guest came to his home.
