Sitting in a remote corner, Li Yi could feel Young Master Bai's resentment towards him from a distance of thirty feet away.
After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to understand something.
Before, he had thought that although he was a hero, it was necessary for him to attend banquets, but with Lin Wanru's temperament, how could she ask for a man?
However, if she was just looking for a shield, everything would make sense.
Li Yi looked at her, but Lin Wanru didn't look at him. She quickly looked away.
She took out a small booklet from her sleeve and said, "There is one thing I don't quite understand about the bookkeeping method …"
It was obvious that she was changing the topic. She was so smart, so how could she not understand the simple bookkeeping method after such a long time? She saw through it, but she didn't point it out. Otherwise, both of them would be embarrassed. Li Yi nodded and said, "What do you not understand? Let me see …"
Not far away, beside a table, the young man with the surname Bai looked somewhere and clenched his fists tightly. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Seeing two people coming over, he smiled and stood up to greet them.
"Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Xu, long time no see …"
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Bai …"
"Long time no see, long time no see."
…
"Well, you go ahead. I will sit here for a while and eat something."
Li Yi waved his hand, and Lin Wanru, who was absent-minded, came back to herself. She nodded and said, "Then I will go first."
Watching her leave, Li Yi took a piece of fresh fruit and vegetables from the table. The Qian Family prepared enough drinks and snacks, and they tasted good.
Except for Lin Wanru, he didn't know anyone else here. Tonight, the people in the manor were all in small groups. Those who had business dealings with each other naturally gathered together. There were several places where there were many people, and they surrounded one or two people in the innermost area with smiles on their faces. Those people should be the famous businessmen in Fengzhou City.
Feeling bored, Zhang Xuan casually swept his gaze across the area and saw a familiar fatty walking out from a door.
There were two other people beside the fat man. They were both handsome and elegant young men. Li Yi was about to put a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth when his wrist stopped in mid-air.
"Why are they here?" He murmured with a surprised expression.
He was surprised to see Zhao Xiuwen there. After all, although he was also in Feng Zhou, it was unlikely that he would appear on such an occasion.
But the person beside him seemed to be the former top scholar of Qing 'an, Yang Yanzhou?
He and Yang Yanzhou had met twice before. Although they weren't familiar with each other, he shouldn't have mistaken him for someone else.
Reaching out to touch his face, he felt at ease.
Anything could happen in Jianghu. It was very important to open a smurf account. Otherwise, he would be recognized today.
As the two of them walked out, the surroundings immediately became restless.
"Is that Young Master Zhao and Young Master Yang? Why are they here? "
"Young Master Zhao and Young Master Yang are His Highness's right-hand men. Fortune God Qian and them seem to be very familiar …"
"Why do you think the Qian family has been so successful in Feng Zhou for so many years? If they didn't have the Third Prince's support …"
…
…
Hearing the quiet discussions of the crowd, Li Yi's expression froze. He then lowered his head and rubbed the space between his brows.
There was too much information. He needed to process it all.
Yang Yanzhou, Zhao Xiuwen, Fortune God Qian, they were all the Third Prince's men of the Qi Kingdom …
Feng Zhou was the territory of the Third Prince, Zhao Yi. His manor was in Feng Zhou City.
Did this mean that he had been in front of the Third Prince of the Qi Kingdom all this time?
Back when he was still in the Capital, the Third Prince had specially paid him a visit. He gave him a jade pendant and said something sincere. He probably meant that if he couldn't survive in the Jing Kingdom, he could go to the Qi Kingdom and rely on him. The two of them would hold hands and do something spectacular …
But for now, Li Yi didn't have such a plan.
If he had directly revealed his identity, his current situation would naturally be much better. But he was afraid that in the future, he would be under the control of others in everything he did. The day when he could return to the Jing Kingdom was even more distant.
If he had known that he would meet them here, he wouldn't have come out.
The current situation was still passable. Based on Miss.Liu's recovery speed, they would probably be able to set off for home in another two or three months. Before that, they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Speaking of which, the jade pendant that Zhao Yi gave him was lost. It seemed that it was taken by Miss.Liu on that day and he hadn't seen it since …
As if he had thought of something, Li Yi's face revealed a startled expression.
Not long after, he sighed. He was afraid that he would not be able to redeem the jade pendant that he had borrowed from Miss Liu.
Even the pawnshop from before could not be used again.
Fortunately, he was wearing a bamboo hat at that time and the shopkeeper did not see his face. Otherwise, he would be in trouble now.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Wanru walked over and asked when she saw that he didn't look right.
Li Yi pointed and said, "Those two people over there …"
Lin Wanru looked over and said, "You mean Zhao Xiuwen and Yang Yanzhou? They are very famous in Feng Province. Zhao Xiuwen is even known as the role model of scholars. He is well-known in the entire Qi Kingdom. It's normal for these people to surround them."
Li Yi looked at her and asked with some uncertainty, "Is the Third Prince of the Qi Kingdom also in Feng Province?"
Lin Wanru nodded and said, "Feng Province is the Third Prince's fief. King Feng's Mansion is in Feng Province."
After confirming everything from Lin Wanru, Li Yi looked in that direction and watched Zhao Xiuwen and Yang Yanzhou leave surrounded by people. Then, he withdrew his gaze.
Seeing that Lin Wanru was also looking in that direction, he asked curiously, "Don't you like Zhao Xiuwen? Why don't you go over?"
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "I just admire his literary talent. I don't like him."
Seeing that she seemed to be a little annoyed, Li Yi said, "What did you talk about just now? What's wrong? Did it not work out?"
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "I don't know why, but the Ma Family and the Xu Family increased the price of raw materials by 10%. In Feng Province, apart from these two families, only the Bai Family can provide raw materials to make jewelry. Fragrant Forest Garden has always been working with these three families. If we don't want to lose our profits, we can only choose the Bai Family …"
"However, it is very likely that the Bai Family is behind this. After they achieve this goal, they will definitely have other tricks up their sleeves … If we put all our hopes on the Bai Family, we will definitely be led by the nose in the future."
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "At present, there is still a lot of stock in the shop. It can support us for a while. We will think of a way when the time comes."
Li Yi could not help her with this matter. He still had a lot of things to solve. Feng Province, the Third Prince, things in this world were really coincidental …
The so-called meeting was extremely boring. The only thing he gained was some information that was very important to him.
Lin Wanru took out the booklet again and picked up a pen from the table. She seemed to be calculating something. After a while, she flipped through the booklet, stood up, and looked around.
"What's wrong? Did you lose something?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
"The piece of paper you just used to demonstrate." Lin Wan Ru said. She saw a fat man not far away pick up an item from the ground and said, "I found it. It's over there."
When she was about to walk over, a hand reached out from the side and held her wrist.
"Sit down."
Li Yi looked over and said in a low voice.
Not far away, the fat middle-aged man was holding a piece of paper in his hand and looking at it carefully.
