Yue Ning was confused by him.
This man spoke without focusing on the key points!
He disdainfully curled his lips and then looked towards the main streets and alleys of the town.
They had been away for a long ti, and this Taihang Town had also changed significantly.
***
In Liang Yuening’s mory, although Taihang Town was small and located in the north, not very prosperous, the residents had at least lived and worked in peace and happiness, and the local customs were simple and honest.
But this ti returning to Taihang Town, he only felt that the residents living here all had a look of distress on their faces, as if they were oppressed by life, unable to lift their heads or stand tall, everyone burdened with heavy worries.
The change here had obviously caught Shujun’s attention.
Shujun curled her lips and mocked coldly, "This Pei Yu is indeed interesting, a petty man getting power and acting like he owns the world."
Yue Ning looked at Third Brother puzzledly, "Pei Yu?" He secretly clicked his tongue in amazent, "Could it be that this place is because of Pei Yu that..."
Shujun smiled, "Let’s go eat sothing first. I’m starving, having gnawed on dry biscuits these past days on the road, I almost taste blandness in my mouth."
So, Shujun led Yue Ning into a restaurant.
Coincidentally, this restaurant was nad "Food As Heaven," where last year, his wife and Yun Ge had t.
At that ti, the business of this restaurant was very poor, and Shujun had thought that with such dim business, Food As Heaven must have closed down early. Who knew that this restaurant still stubbornly existed till now.
"What would the two of you like to eat?"
The shopkeeper had multiple roles, as both the shopkeeper and waiter. The female shopkeeper’s face was full of distress, resembling the face of soone on the decline.
Shujun casually ordered a few dishes, and the shopkeeper couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him. She faintly felt this person looked sowhat familiar?
But this young man is also really handso!
They must be brothers, right?
Both brothers looked good, just too tall.
ntioning "tall," the shopkeeper couldn’t help but think of another matter...
After ordering, Shujun stuffed a tael of silver into the shopkeeper’s hand, "Excuse , I’d like to inquire about sothing."
With a smile beaming on his face, seeing the silver, the shopkeeper also showed an enthusiastic smile.
"You say, if I know, I will definitely tell everything."
"My brother and I once lived here, but at that ti, Taihang Town wasn’t looking like it does now. I see the people on the streets like walking corpses, lifeless; I wonder if sothing significant has happened here in recent days?"
The shopkeeper imdiately showed a timid and fearful expression, "Sir, this is sothing you shouldn’t inquire about casually."
Shujun, still smiling, added another tael of silver.
The shopkeeper’s face showed a struggle.
"It’s just out of curiosity that I’m asking," Shujun said.
The shopkeeper hesitated for quite a while, then finally made a decision with gritted teeth! "I see you two must have been away for a long ti, so you might not know, right? This story starts from a year ago, around October last year, our town had a He’s Grain Store, and the owner, He Su, had a favored husband nad Pei Yu. He had been expelled from He Mansion, but sohow, one day, that Consort Pei suddenly returned!"
The shopkeeper narrated slowly, Shujun threw a look at Yue Ning, clearly saying: See, I told you, it’s because of Pei Yu!
Liang Yuening couldn’t care less about his Third Brother; he was fully focused on listening. But as the shopkeeper recounted one tragedy after another, Liang Yuening was furious, trembling with anger.
"This Pei Yu, he’s simply not human!!!"
