I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 831: Strange Person

"I asked Qingsong to follow his traces and found out that he was a member of the Zhou family in the north of the city.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's narration, Bai Yunxi was stunned, "Zhou family? What do you do?"

"The Zhou family is a local merchant and runs several large car shops and inns. That's all we know so far. Others are still being investigated."

Zhang Yishan said, her eyes still filled with doubts. There was no way that the Zhou family's situation had anything to do with their family. What was the purpose of that person staring at their family? It was very puzzling.

It would be unreasonable to drive someone away or beat him up. After all, he didn't do anything excessive, but it would be unreasonable to leave him alone.

Seeing Zhang Yishan frowning, Bai Yunxi became curious.

"Our family has never made friends with anyone since we first came to Fucheng, and we have never heard of the Zhou family. There is no reason for him to keep an eye on our family."

"This is also where my daughter-in-law is confused. Because of this, she doesn't dare to act rashly. I have asked Qingsong to check to see if there is anyone behind the Zhou family. Qingshan also watched the door carefully."

Baiyun Xi was very surprised and stood up directly.

"Is that person still there now?"

"The man was still there when I came to my mother's place. It's hard to tell now. I asked Qingshan not to alarm others, but to wait for news from Qingsong. Once we find out, it won't be too late to deal with that man."

A small businessman's family would not dare to provoke the official residence no matter how courageous it was.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's plan, Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement, "Mom is relieved that you have done things properly. If you have anything to do in the future, just do it boldly. As long as you are reasonable, you don't have to worry about anything else."

While talking, the two of them came to the front yard together.

When Qingshan saw his master coming, he trotted up to meet him. Before he could salute, Zhang Yishan waved her hand.

"That person is still there."

"Go back to the old lady. Mistress is still here. Please follow me."

Bai Yunxi had doubts in her eyes. With Zhang Yishan's support, they walked to the gate together and followed Qingshan's guidance. I don't know if it was because she was slow or because she alerted the other person. Bai Yunxi only had time to see a corner of the crimson clothes before the person turned into the alley opposite and hid himself.

"Run away, I really don't know where this person sang."

Qingshan said and stamped his feet. When he just opened the door and looked out, the man was still standing at the entrance of the alley opposite. As soon as the old lady and mistress came, he hid.

Bai Yunxi stood at the door and looked at the alley for a moment.

"Qingshan, go and see if he is hiding or leaving?"

"Hey, let's go right away."

Qingshan said, ran over, ran back after a while, shook his head,

"Old lady, that person has left."

“Mom, you see, this man doesn’t look like a spy, nor does he look like he has any malicious intentions, but he is really difficult to deal with.

Bai Yunxi stood at the door in silence for a moment, then patted Zhang Yishan's hand.

"Don't pay attention to this kind of anticlimactic person. If he is really an acquaintance or relative of ours, just come to our door openly. If not, just treat him as curious about the new Lord Zhizhou, and let him watch the excitement."

In short, they have no acquaintances or relatives in Fucheng.

Zhang Yishan thought about it and decided that this was all she could do. She told Qingshan to watch the door carefully and not let strangers come in.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned around and went back.

The incident at the door was immediately forgotten by the two of them.

There was laughter and laughter in the banyan tree hall, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were making mooncakes in the yard with the girl and mother-in-law.

While he was busy with his work, he did not delay in joking and joking. For a time, the entire mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere. The servants saw their masters happy and felt relaxed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival means admiring the moon and eating mooncakes. Baiyunxi looked at the various mooncakes pressed out of the mold and waved his hand.

"Hurry up, steam some of them in the pot, and bake some of them. Pick out the ones with good-looking patterns and give them to the Wu family as souvenirs. It can be considered a little bit of our gratitude."

"Don't worry, Mom, I will make arrangements."

At present, they are only friends with the Wu family's aunt, and the rest have not yet delivered anything to their door, especially food.

After the mooncakes were steamed, they turned out to be better-looking than they had imagined. Occasionally there were a few cracks with too much filling, but this did not affect the taste and they were given directly to the girls and women to try.

Du Shi prepared a lot of fillings and wanted everyone to taste them one by one, so he cut the mooncakes into many pieces and placed them on a tray with small bamboo sticks next to them for everyone to choose and taste.

"Grandma, this sour fruit flavor is delicious. I like fruit flavor." Yaya held a piece of hawthorn fruit mooncake, her eyes sparkling.

"Mother Zhang bought this. It was originally pickled sour fruit. I brought some to make fillings." Du Shi looked at the mooncake filling in her daughter's hand and explained with a smile.

Yunxi pinched her eldest granddaughter's cheek.

"If you like it, you can't eat too much. Mooncakes are not firm and difficult to digest."

Although hawthorn is food-resistant, it should not be overdosed.

"Grandma still prefers the old-fashioned flavors, like this five-nut flavor, salt-and-pepper nut flavor, which tastes good. Others are a bit too sweet for me."

Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Zhang Yishan put the used bamboo stick next to her, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and followed suit.

"Compared to the salty ones, I like the peach blossom cake made by my sister-in-law. One bite is full of the sweetness of peach blossoms. My sister-in-law has the talent of making pastries."

Listening to the tone of several people, Mrs. Du felt extremely happy.

"I like the ones stuffed with jujube paste, and I like the ones with a sweet taste, otherwise it always feels like it's not a festive flavor."

A few people chatted and laughed, and a day passed.

After dinner, Bai Yunxi washed up and leaned on the Luohan bed, holding a book in her hand and flipping through it gently.

Occasionally, she looked up to see the way out, thinking in her heart, Wenyou has been out for a day, I wonder if she will come back at night?

Zhu Pozi sat next to her with a needlework frame, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she reminded her softly.

"Old lady, it's getting late, you should rest."

Listening to Zhu Pozi's reminder, Bai Yunxi turned her head and looked at the hourglass next to her. It was already Si Shi, and it was indeed time to rest. She couldn't stay up late at her age, otherwise she would easily die suddenly.

Lying on the bed, looking at the white dandelions embroidered on the blue curtains, she fell asleep after a while.

She slept until dawn, opened her eyes and looked at the familiar curtains, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of Wenyou.

I wonder if that girl came back last night?

Hearing the noise in the room, the maids and servants waiting at the door came in with water for washing.

"Old lady, you are awake. I will help you get up."

Bai Yunxi agreed and watched Zhu Po skilled in soaking the cloth and applying it to her face. The warm feeling made her mind clear instantly, and she asked casually.

"Is Wen You back?"
