Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Chapter 229: Did you suffer any loss? I'm glad you're fine!

Xie An couldn't do anything about Li Yuening, so he turned to ask, "Where's the third brother?"

This is to use Xie Shi to pressure her. Li Yuening said slowly: "We are about to set off. My husband has many trivial matters to attend to. I am afraid that I can't help Uncle Xie."

Xie An's eyes widened, "I really misjudged him. His sickly appearance really fooled all of us.

This is your true face."

"True face? Uncle Xie, where does that come from? I have always been sincere to others.

How can you talk about deception? "Li Yuening's almond-shaped eyes were full of disbelief, with an expression of how could you think of me like this.

Seeing that Li Yuening was not moved by his persuasion, Xie An simply started to play dirty, "I'll tell you the truth, I owed money outside, and they asked me to exchange it for food, otherwise they would let me go to jail."

Li Yuening's heart skipped a beat. What was Xie An trying to do by doing this to her at this time? She said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry about that, Uncle Xie. If that's the case, we will make arrangements with the prison boss before we leave so that you can be a little better in there. Anyway, there are more reasons for you to go in."

This is already a hint to Xie An. I have the evidence against you, so you'd better tell the truth.

Xie An looked around and saw that there were no maids or servants. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Are you going to keep nagging me about this little thing until I'm in the coffin?

Brother Fan is like this, and so are you, there is no such thing as a worry-free thing..."

He started to talk without thinking later on.

Li Yuening was not angry. She just watched him spitting until Xie An stopped on his own.

Xie An said too many words in one breath. He opened the lid of the tea cup, took a big sip of tea, and spat out the tea leaves with a few "Puh" sounds. He no longer had any of his previous elegance.

Li Yuening sighed secretly, stood up and started to chase people away, "Uncle Xie, since you don't want to solve the problem, please go back. We have to leave tomorrow morning, so rest early."

"No, you can't leave." Xie An stepped in front of Li Yuening, then took two steps back in fear. He swallowed and said, "Sister Ning, I really have a problem. If I can't solve it, I can't leave Jinling tomorrow."

"You've been talking about this for a long time. How can I help you if you don't explain it clearly?" Li Yuening also became angry. She still had a lot of things to do.

"As long as you give me the food, everything will be fine." Xie An was determined to say this.

"I heard that many merchants in Jinling are very dissatisfied with Xie's grain store recently.

The reason was that the Xie family's grain prices did not increase, which took away a lot of their business.

Uncle Xie, your need for food is not related to this, right? "Li Yuening looked carefully at Xie An's expression.

Xie An's eyes flashed, "Why do you, a woman, care so much? Give me the seal quickly." Xie An stretched out her hand to ask for it.

Li Yuening understood that it was indeed related to the merchants in Jinling.

It seems that they didn't find a breakthrough from Xie Shi, so they went to Xie An. Li Yuening took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "There is no food, but there is a deed. Do you want it?"

Xie An chuckled, "You can fool the master's family with that piece of paper, but you can't fool me.

I know who my father is and what connections he has. It is impossible for him to know the Baili family."

Li Yuening was a little disgusted when she saw Xie An's arrogant look. "I did mention Grandpa Xie that day, but Grandpa Xie has been in Jinling. It is impossible for him to know anyone from the Baili family."

Seeing Xie An's "I knew it" look, Li Yuening continued, "But don't forget that Xie Shi and I have been out of Jinling."

Seeing Xie An's disbelief, Li Yuening said again: "Just because you don't know some people doesn't mean we don't know them."

Li Yuening took out another thing. When Xie An saw it, he seemed frightened and almost knelt down.

Li Yuening looked at Xie An, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, "Xie An, I thought you would be more restrained after what happened with Grandpa Xie, but I didn't expect you to still be so worrying."

Xie An was still in shock and did not notice that Li Yuening's address had changed.

He looked at Li Yuening. Her expression was very serious. Xie An still couldn't believe it and stuttered, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Their people will be here in about 10 days. You can stay and witness it." Li Yuening walked around Xie An and went into the house.

Xie An cried and laughed at the same time, muttering, "Dad, if you are in heaven, please bless the Xie family to prosper, hahaha~

I’m not afraid anymore, I’m not afraid anymore, huh, look at those old guys who still look down on me…”

Li Yuening stood at the door and watched Xie An walk out of the yard excitedly, "Xiao Sui'er, is Xian Ge back?"

"My dear, not yet."

"Then go find Feiyi and ask him to come over."

Xiaosui'er grunted and ran away.

Li Yuening pinched her brows and complained in her heart: These chores are so annoying. She is really not used to dealing with people. It is not as easy as fighting.

Soon, Feiyi knocked on the door, "Madam, are you looking for me?"

"Well, you go and keep an eye on Xie An tonight. We'll leave tomorrow. Don't let him cause any trouble."

"Thank you... Master, is there something wrong?"

Li Yuening frowned slightly: "Today he suddenly came to ask me for the seal of the grain store, and I didn't give it to him.

During this period, not only did our grain prices not increase, but we actually sold a lot of it.

If it were any other grain store, it would have been sold out long ago.

We are the only one that keeps purchasing goods. Our peers must be jealous.

They would certainly like to know where our food comes from.

They tried to find a breakthrough from Langjun before, but Langjun didn't give them a chance, so they will definitely look for new candidates."

"You mean they found the master?"

"Well, let's get someone to check what benefits they promised Xie An? Or what leverage do they have over him?"

Feiyi nodded carefully, "I'll check it out now."

"Well, let's go."

As soon as Fei Yi left the yard, she ran into Xie Shi who had just returned. Seeing that he was in a hurry, she called him, "Where are you going?"

"My dear..." Feiyi explained the situation in a few words, and finally said: "My dear, I will go and get busy first, you should take a good rest."

Xie Shi waved his hand, lifted up his robe, took a few steps into the yard, and rushed into the house in one breath.

Li Yuening heard the noise, looked up and saw Xie Shi in a state of distress, and asked jokingly, "What happened? Was he chased by a dog?"

Xie Shi looked at Li Yuening nervously and asked anxiously, "Did you suffer any loss?"

Li Yuening asked back with some confusion: "Hmm?"

Xie Shi quickly pulled Li Yuening up from the stool, looked her up and down carefully, and asked anxiously, "Didn't that lunatic Xie An do anything to you?"

Li Yuening smiled lightly and said confidently: "Even if he wants to go crazy, he has to see if I allow it! Xie Shi, don't you have any trust in me at all?"

Xie Shi himself didn't know clearly. When he heard Fei Yi say that Xie An came to cause trouble for Li Yuening, his worry was greater than his anger.

Although he knew that with Li Yuening's strength, Xie An could not hurt her at all, his heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.

Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "I'm glad you're okay."

At this moment, Li Yuening suddenly moved closer to Xie Shi, kissed him gently on the face, and said with a smile: "Well, this is a reward for you."
