After listening to Ximen Qing's words, Uncle He Jiu carefully collected the talismans as if they were treasures.

He apologized to Ximen Qing, and after getting the other party's permission, he turned around in a hurry and hurried back to his residence in Shishi Street alley.

Soon, Uncle He Jiu's angry scolding and his wife's shrill cries came from the closed door of his home.

And Ximen Qing had already disappeared without a trace from the intersection of Lion Street...

When Uncle He Jiu waved his fist and violently lectured his wife at home, asking her to completely repent and worship Ximen Qing as a god, Yang Yang At the corner of Zishi Street in Gu County, Wang Po and Pan Jinlian returned from the incarnation field outside the city and entered Wu Dalang's home.

Pan Jinlian gently placed Wu Dalang's memorial tablet and lit an exquisite glass lamp with some prayer flags and paper money stuck inside.

She was dressed in plain clothes and occasionally let out two wails, pretending to be sad. However, her mind had already left the purple stone streets and she only wanted to find Ximen Qing.

Wang Po also pretended to comfort Pan Jinlian and chatted with her for a few words. Seeing that there was nothing to do, she planned to return to her teahouse.

At this moment, a person suddenly pushed in the door and met Wang Po who was about to leave.

"Isn't this Lu Xiaoyi? What a rare sight. Why did you come to mourn Wuhan University? What a rare visitor!"Wang Po recognized the person opposite her at a glance and couldn't help blurting out.

How could this scoundrel Lu Xiaoyi appear in Wu Da's home at this time?

Could it be that he was also attracted by Mrs. Wu's beauty and couldn't wait to take advantage of Wu Da's death? Followed?

The happy event between Mrs. Wu and the senior official from Ximen was arranged by me personally, and I also received a lot of benefits from the senior official.

I can't let this scoundrel get in the way, create extra problems and ruin my marriage. Good thing! The alarm sounded in Wang Po's heart, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Xiaoyi.

Seeing that Wang Po was there, Lu Xiaoyi hurriedly saluted Wang Po and Pan Jinlian, and said:"Wife of the Wu family, please show your condolences. Wang Ganniang, I am polite! I hope you can forgive me for disturbing me today."Lu Xiaoyi said as he looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

Pan Jinlian returned an elegant salute to Lu Xiaoyi, then walked to Mrs. Wang and looked at Lu Xiaoyi, wondering when Wuhan University had interacted with this person. Why have you never mentioned it to me?

Lu Xiaoyi hurried over. He was not to mourn Wu Dalang, but to find Ximen Qing for important matters.

He had already visited Ximen Qing’s mansion, drugstore, and Zhang Xixi’s residence, but he still hadn’t found him. Found traces of Ximen Qing. Since Lu Xiaoyi also heard about the entanglements between Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian, and Wang Po, he then came to Zishi Street.

Among the Wu family, Pan Jinlian was the only one here, so it was not a place where he could stay for a long time..

Lu Xiaoyi winked at Mrs. Wang and said,"Wang Ganniang, I have something to ask. Can you lend me a moment to speak?""

Wang Po saw Lu Xiaoyi's anxious look and thought to herself: Does this scoundrel also want to taste my old lady's sour plum soup? Mrs. Wu is no longer what she used to be. How can a scoundrel like him easily offend her?

With his meager wealth How can you buy me off with just two taels of silver?

Despite this calculation in her mind, Mrs. Wang walked towards her teahouse with a smile on her face, and said hello:"Brother Yi, my teahouse has not opened yet today. , why not come in and have a cup of tea?"

Lu Xiaoyi gave a slight salute, said goodbye to Pan Jinlian, and followed Mrs. Wang into the teahouse.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to ask:"Wang Ganniang, have you met the official Ximen today?"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyi's rash question, Mrs. Wang cursed:"Bah, when have I seen any high-ranking officials from Ximen? Brother Xiao Yi, don’t listen to the nonsense of those long-tongued people. How could you go directly to my old lady and Mrs. Wu’s home to look for the official Ximen? Doesn’t the high official Ximen make money in his own drugstore? What does such a big shot have to do with us?"

Lu Xiaoyi did not feel unhappy because of Wang Po's suspicion. Instead, he took a step forward and explained to her politely:

"Wang Ganniang, please don't panic, I have no intention of testing you on this trip. In fact, I am currently working for Ximen Daguanren. There is an urgent matter that needs to be reported to a senior official, but the senior official cannot be found.

Therefore, I had to take the liberty of visiting. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Wang Ganniang, is it true that the official is not here with you?"

When Wang Po heard this, she felt dubious in her heart, and responded hesitantly:"Brother Xiao Yi, what are you talking about? I, an old woman, can't understand it. It’s true that I didn’t see Mr. Ximen Daguan today. You’d better look for him elsewhere."

"In that case, I won't bother you now. Farewell, Wang Ganniang, I will come in person to apologize to you another day."Lu Xiaoyi bowed to Mrs. Wang, turned around and walked out of the teahouse, and hurriedly left Zishi Street.

"Is that Lu Xiaoyi in front? Why is my dear brother here?"As soon as Lu Xiaoyi walked out of the intersection of Zishi Street and Alley, he heard Ximen Qing's voice coming from beside him.
