"Later?" Tie Yushan glanced at me, a faint smile appeared on his tough face, and said, "Later, when the Yan family was having a wedding, the eldest son of the Yan family was going to get married. Lao Tie was just listening to the fun, but who knew that one night, a few decent people suddenly came to the shop and they gave me a post."

My heart beats: "Yes-"

"Yes, it's the marriage between the wife and your father."

“…”

"Your father took her and looked down at the entire Chengdu from the highest city tower in Xichuan. Everyone here went to see it."

“…”

"Everyone says that the new wife of the Yan family is a fairy descending to earth, but when Lao Tie sees her eyes, she recognizes her. She is the one who asked Lao Tie to shoot a dagger on a heavy snowy day."

“…”

"Miss, you don't know how beautiful your mother looks when she wears a phoenix crown and a robe!"

Looking at his shiny eyes, I smiled faintly: "I seem to be able to imagine it."

Tie Yushan glanced at me and immediately understood what I meant. He couldn't help but blushed and smiled embarrassedly.

Actually, I think that he, Wuwei Monk, and the old man of the An family may not have any affection for my mother or a disproportionate thought. However, for them, my mother is probably a very special existence in life.

I didn't say anything more, just asked, "What about it later?"

"Later, Miss, you must know that not everyone can get posts for your parents' wedding. Lao Tie, a poor iron, went there and met all the nobles. Later, the wife gave me a sum of money and took me to see Mr. Rang'an. Since then, they have given me all the horseshoes."

I nodded and understood that it was Tieyushan's fortune. You should know that An's horse farm is the largest in Xichuan. All their horseshoe nails were handed over to Tieyushan, which would be a huge business.

Later, I probably heard that Tieyushan's family had become richer and he also participated in the mining of some iron ore.

Until now, Tiejia Money House has become the most indispensable economic lifeline in Xichuan.

But after all, I still don’t know what kind of woman my mother was before becoming the eldest wife of the Yan family. Moreover, after hearing so many people talk about so many past events, this mystery seems to be even more difficult to solve.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

Tie Yushan was originally immersed in his memory of the past, but suddenly heard my sigh and immediately came to his senses. Seeing the faint gloom in my eyes, I didn't know what to say for a moment.

I looked up at the sky. It was getting late, so I was about to walk back. But as soon as I went out, I suddenly remembered something again and turned to Tie Yushan and said, "Uncle Tie, there is another thing I want to ask. Apart from the things in this brocade box, my mother has put other things in your place? For example, silver or something..."

Before I could finish my words, Tie Yushan suddenly turned his face and knelt down at me on one leg.

I was frightened and hurriedly wanted to help him, but I couldn't pull him. Tie Yushan stubbornly knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "Miss, I, Tie, was just a poor iron man at the time. It was the wife who valued my skills, gave me capital, and took care of me all the way. Lao Tie had the family business today. If the wife wanted to take it back, let alone this family business, even this life, Lao Tie would be absolutely right!"

I immediately understood that he thought I was testing him whether I had hidden my mother's wealth, so that I could have such confession.

I hurriedly said, "Uncle Tie, I don't mean this. If I doubt you, I won't ask today."

After saying that, I spent some more effort before finally pulling Tie Yushan up from the ground. His eyes were already a little red, and he said, "Anyway, what the eldest lady wants, as long as one sentence, I will obey my orders."

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

I patted the elder's generous back of his hand, comforted him a few words, then pushed the door and walked out, but the haze in my heart became heavier.

My mother has hardly used such a large sum of money, and she has never revealed her white life in the past few years. I had such a shadow in my heart after hearing Uncle Ai’s words, and today I just asked casually, but gradually I found that this matter didn’t seem as simple as I thought at the beginning.

And this jade token...

I subconsciously touched the hard thing in my arms. At this time, I was walking out the door and heard a shout outside: "Who, what are you doing?!"

Tie Yushan and I were both stunned for a moment, and then we saw the old man who had just welcomed me in hurriedly. Tie Yushan said, "Old Mo, what's wrong?"

"Miss, Master, I just saw a black shadow on the porch door, sneaky."

"Where is that person?"

"As soon as I came over, I ran away."

"oh?"

Tie Yushan and I looked at each other, and our expressions seemed a little solemn.

Only Aunt Hong and Uncle Tie knew about me when I was coming to Tiejia Money House. I believe they would not betray me; and I came here like this today as a "temporary intention", and I also specially asked the fearless monk to deal with the people sent by the Yan family to follow me. I thought this would be perfect.

Unexpectedly, someone came with me.

Who is it? What purpose?

From the time I entered Sichuan, I always felt that I was being watched. The accident in the small inn before, to the shadows in the backyard of Tiejia Money House today, it seems that I feel right. In Xichuan, there are indeed a group of people following me secretly. Their goal is me, and it has not been achieved yet.

I frowned and said, "Uncle Tie, you have to send someone to check around you. I'll go back first, and there are still people waiting for me."

Tie Yushan hurriedly said, "I will send someone to escort the young lady."

"No need, someone is waiting for me."

After saying that, I simply waved my hand at them and walked out. After leaving the Tiejia Money House, I looked at the people coming and going on the road in front of me, but it made me feel dazed. I wonder if one of these people was following me in secret and spying on me.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I subconsciously looked around.

When I came to my senses, I couldn't help laughing. If I really came to follow me secretly, how could I recognize it like this?

Thinking of this, I shook my head lightly and walked towards the path I came.

I quickly walked into the alley, but found that there was no one here, and even the fearless monk who had promised to wait for me here was gone.

Where is the person?

I looked at both sides and I was the only one left in the narrow alley. The noise from the streets at both ends gradually became quiet, as if I suddenly entered an isolated environment. The already a little uneasy mood became more and more turbulent at this time. I couldn't help but feel palpitations when I remembered the shadows in the backyard of Tiejia Money House just now.

Monk Wuwei is not here. What if that black shadow still follows me?

I subconsciously reached out and stroked the jade token in my arms, and it hit my chest hard, making me sweat.

At this moment, a hand stretched out from behind and patted my shoulder.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and my whole body shivered for a moment, turned around suddenly, but saw the fearless monk standing behind me, as if he was startled by me, and looked at me with wide eyes: "Miss? What's wrong?"

"Uncle Wuwei..."

"Miss, why are you sweating so much? Is it hot?"

He said, shaking his sleeves to fan the wind. A faint sleeve wind rushed towards me. Although it didn't bring any coolness, I felt relieved as soon as I saw him. I breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Wuwei, where have you been? Why haven't you been waiting for me here?"

"Oh, I remembered that when the young lady was in a restaurant, she told them that she wanted to buy pine nut candy for them to eat, so she went there to take a look when she had time. Who knew that the blind man had sold out and closed the stall. She ran away for nothing and was angry, so she simply went to another family to buy some. The taste was not as good as his family, but please coax Miss Sun's mouth."

I looked at the paper bag in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

It is impossible to see that the fearless monk is so reckless, but he is so rough and delicate. In this way, we will not be suspected when we go back like this.

So, we both did not delay any longer and hurried back to the restaurant.

When I went back, I saw that the waiter was already serving the dishes.

I hurried over and sat down. Pei Yuanxiu looked at me with a smile: "I've been there for so long, have you bought it?"

I shook my head dejectedly: "I'm blaming myself for being confused. I usually have to queue up to buy things from his house. It's so late today, and he has closed long ago. I went to another store to buy some," and said, shaking the paper bag in front of Li'er. The girl's eyes immediately lit up. I said, "Eat your meal first, and I will give it to you when I go back."

"good!"

I smiled. When I raised my head, I saw Liu Qinghan sitting opposite me looking at me. When he met my gaze, he smiled faintly.

I laughed, too.

At this moment, the waiter also brought the bowl of boiled cabbage. Li'er had heard that this dish was very hard, but he thought it was a big fish and meat. But when he opened the lid, he saw that there was a cup of clear soup inside, with a few extremely tender and thin, almost transparent cabbage leaves floating. He immediately pouted in disappointment: "What!"

I couldn't help but curse this girl for being ignorant. While serving a little soup with a spoon, I whispered to her in a low voice, how many hens, ducks, ham and scallops were hung with these clear soups that were not even visible to me. It took a full day to make them. Even the transparent cabbage leaves were carefully selected. The tenderest cabbage hearts used were forced to drink a few sips. She just shouted that there was no smell and she refused to drink them again. I had no choice but to put them aside and asked the waiter to serve her a bowl of rice.

Li'er grabbed the chopsticks and just took a bite of rice into her mouth. She was chewing it, but suddenly she was stunned for a moment and was frozen there.
