Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? She casually pointed to a shop, and it was precisely a person who happened to know of this matter.

After He Ce finished listening to what Xu Shiqiu had to say, he believed him. He didn't dare disbelieve it because he had already told his greatest secret to the person in front of him.

If this person was not to be trusted, he could only abandon his family's shop and quietly leave Yi Town with his fiancee.

Xu Shiqiu would naturally not let He Ce down. He told He Ce that after he came to find him tonight, he had brought Dong Shu and left his shop.

Dong Shu watched as Xu Shiqiu brought him and left, then raised her head to look at him. Just as she was about to inquire further, who knew that Xu Shiqiu would bring him into another shop.

After Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu through dozens of shops, they finally brought Dong Shu back.

Dong Shu held back her words and did not ask Xu Shiqiu until on the way back to the inn, she finally realised that a stranger was following behind her.

”Hubby?” Dong Shu nervously grabbed Xu Shiqiu's arm. She wanted to tell her husband that someone was following behind, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Shiqiu had actually been paying attention to Dong Shu this whole time, so when he finally discovered that someone was following him, he could guess Dong Shu's reaction.

”Don't be afraid.” Xu Shiqiu was sure that the person following them only arrived when they reached the third store, and this person was just too direct.

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu knew that Master had long noticed the person following behind him, and immediately calmed down.

Once Xu Shiqiu returned to the inn, he did not immediately bring Dong Shu back to his room. Instead, he went to find the Old Madame Xu and told her about meeting He Ce at the rouge shop.

”Mother, do you think this matter has anything to do with the Mayor of Yi Town?”

Xu Shiqiu looked at Old Madame Xu who had just finished speaking, nodded and said, ”In a town, the mayor has one hand to cover the sky. If it wasn't for him, who else could it be? ”It's just that I don't know if this town is full of guts or if there is someone else supporting them from behind.” After Old Madame Xu finished speaking, he paused for a moment before looking at Xu Shiqiu and continuing, ”Have you thought of a way to resolve this matter?”

After Xu Shiqiu heard Old Madame Xu's words, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened his mouth and spoke. Find out what exactly is the Mayor's house, then think of a way to meet Fourth Brother and Shi Yuan. ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the Old Madame Xu immediately looked towards Dong Shu and asked: ”Are you going to scout by yourself, or are you bringing along the Madame Dong?”

Xu Shiqiu did not expect his mother to suddenly ask this, he was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth: ”I'll go by myself.”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu looked at him and asked, ”Does Hubby really want to go alone?” After saying that, Dong Shu hesitated for a moment before continuing, ”Didn't Hubby say that you wouldn't affect the people around you if I was around? If I don't go, what will you do if you affect the others? ”

Dong Shu asked seriously, but Xu Shiqiu felt very uncomfortable hearing her words.

He only had so much power, but it was all because of this matter.

Previously, he only thought that when he returned to the capital, he would be able to see other people bringing along the Young Girl, but now that he had encountered such a situation, he was truly reluctant to bring the Young Girl along.

Old Madame Xu had been looking at Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu was in a difficult situation, she sighed and said, ”I'll send someone here to take care of tonight's matters.”

When the Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu looked at her in bewilderment and shock.

Being watched by her son and his daughter-in-law, Old Madame Xu was not the least bit flustered, ”You don't have to worry, since the breakthrough was found in this town, I will definitely be able to resolve this matter.”

After hearing Old Madame Xu's words, even if Xu Shiqiu wanted to speak, he didn't know what to say.

Because of today's incident, his heart was currently very sad.

He could not think of it. If he were to encounter such a risky situation in the future, could it be that he could only stay at home and wait for others to do it?
