Chapter 289 Things Have Changed

Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment.

Before her ears were healed, she didn't want to go to Xie's house, for fear that she would be seen by Xie Suzhi and Mr. Xie Erye, and it would be difficult to explain.

But she had been hiding from Xie Suzhi for several days. If she didn't go, Xie Suzhi might misunderstand that she had something on her mind.

The little guy thought about it, and then said considerately: "Okay, godfather, wait until I finish counting the bill, then we can go."

Xie Suzhi nodded with a smile, and Wu'er was smart and ran up to invite him to come in and sit down.

Aunt Yun served good tea and wiped the seat again and again.

Xie Suzhi raised his hand, his handsome face gentle: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, just accompany Ningning to work."

No one expected that the prime minister was so approachable.

Next, Xie Suzhi drank tea quietly on the side, watching Shen Ningning surrounded by capable clerks from the corner of his eye.

The little guy handled the things in the shop with ease.

Xie Suzhi's eyes were confused and nostalgic for a moment.

He remembered that his wife Shen Siyi was also good at accounting.

She always had endless ideas and was much better than many merchants in doing business.

Half of the Xie family's assets now were earned by her when she was alive.

By the way, what did Shen Siyi call her way of making money?

Xie Suzhi pondered for a moment.

It seemed to be called investment.

Shen Siyi's way of making money was to take some capital and invest in those stores she was optimistic about.

One year, Xie Suzhi disagreed with the emperor's political views and was almost dismissed from office several times.

His political views could not be relaxed, nor could he be understood by the emperor, and he was depressed all day long.

Shen Siyi hugged his neck and sat with him under the corridor, watching the sunset, with bright red clouds in his eyes.

Her laughter was still in my ears: "Why are you worried, husband? At worst, I can just quit my job."

"Let's go back to our hometown Changzhou. I'll support you. I have money~"

Xie Suzhi hugged her waist, and his depression was dispelled by her smile.

He smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the prime minister is the most powerful minister, and you are the first-class prime minister's wife? Why are you persuading me to go home and live in my old age?"

Shen Siyi's watery black eyes were smiling.

She said seriously, "It's fun to be a first-class wife, but it's not as important as your mood."

"In fact, my dream is very small. I can have you, Xu'er and An'er to accompany me, and..."

She lowered her head gently and reached out to touch her bulging belly.

Shen Siyi's smile was full of the sweetness of maternal love: "With our daughter by my side, we can live happily wherever we live."

At that time, she was pregnant with her third child, nearly seven months pregnant.

The doctor took her pulse and said it was a daughter.

Xie Suzhi and Shen Siyi were looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, my daughter was stolen away only half a year after she was born.

Now, everything has changed.

Thinking of the death of his beloved wife and the young figure of his daughter in front of him.

Xie Suzhi's eyes were slightly red and his vision became blurred.

Lu Shaoyuan's voice came from the door: "Shen Ningning, I'm here to see you... Eh? The Prime Minister is here too."

Xie Suzhi hurriedly picked up the teacup to cover his thin eyes that were almost filled with tears.

He laughed dryly twice: "Second Master Lu, are you here to see our Ningning?"

Lu Shaoyuan took out a bag of roast chicken from his arms: "I'm bringing her food."

Then, he ran to Shen Ningning, not even sitting on a chair, just trying to please the little guy.

"Eat quickly, I've been holding it in my arms all the way, it's still warm."

Shen Ningning pouted: "I'm not hungry, take it away quickly, don't block me from reading the account book!"

Lu Shaoyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows: "I just passed by and saw you reading it. Almost half an hour has passed, and you are still reading it."

"My mother said that reading makes you hungry quickly. You are almost done with reading. Eat something quickly before continuing."

In Xie Suzhi's eyes, these were two children who had a good relationship chatting.

He originally looked at them with a faint smile.

However, as he looked at them...

His smile gradually disappeared.

Why did he feel that the way Lu Shaoyuan tried to please Shen Ningning was very much like some bad boys with bad intentions.

He also brought the roast chicken in his arms?

Thinking back then, in order to get close to Shen Siyi, he once lined up for her before dawn to pick the first lotus flower on Dingshan Lake.

Xie Suzhi coughed lightly.

He stood up, his face was still warm, but like a sword that had not been unsheathed.

"Ningning, let's not eat yet. We'll go home later. The mansion has cooked your favorite dishes."

Lu Shaoyuan said, "Then, Prime Minister, take the roast chicken back to eat."

Xie Suzhi kept smiling: "Second Master Lu, the last time I saw your elder brother, he asked me to find a famous teacher for you to help you study."

"It happens that I have a few candidates, but I have to test your homework first to see how far you have learned."

When Lu Shaoyuan heard about studying, his face changed.

"My elder brother is so busy, patrolling the palace every day, why does he still worry about my affairs."

"Oh, so annoying!" He shook his hand: "Shen Ningning, then I'll go home first, remember to eat the roast chicken, I queued for a long time to buy it."

After that, Lu Shaoyuan hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Afraid that Xie Suzhi would grab him and ask about studying.

Shen Ningning tilted her head and blinked her big eyes to look at Xie Suzhi.

Why did she feel that her godfather seemed to be driving Lu Shaoyuan away?

However, looking at Xie Suzhi's gentle smile, the little guy felt that he had thought too much.

After returning to Xie's house, Shen Ningning became visibly restrained.

She looked around from time to time with her big eyes.

Xie Suzhi knew that she didn't want to meet Xie Mingan.

He didn't point it out.

He just casually said: "Ningning, let's have dinner in a while, okay?"

"Your second brother won't be back tonight, only your second uncle will accompany us for dinner."

Shen Ningning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally raised her bright little face: "Okay!"

When Xie Mingan was not around, the little guy felt much more comfortable.

Otherwise, he was always afraid of doing something to make him even more annoying.

In the evening, when he finished his meal and was digesting it.

Shen Ningning walked through the corridor and saw the housekeeper Uncle Pang holding a pile of boxes.

The boxes were so high that they had been piled up to block his sight.

"Uncle Pang~" Shen Ningning walked over, like a smart and cute little bird, with a crisp and childish voice: "Do you need my help?"

"Oh! My good princess, I can still take these things."

As soon as he finished speaking, the top two brocade boxes fell down.

Uncle Pang looked a little embarrassed, and he couldn't bend down to pick it up.

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly: "I'll help you!"

She was kind-hearted, and after picking it up, she held it in her arms, followed Uncle Pang, and accompanied him in transporting things.

"Thank you, Princess. If it weren't for you, I would be miserable today."

"You're welcome, Uncle Pang, where are you going to send it to?"

Uncle Pang smiled and said, "Didn't our second young master return to Beijing? Many old friends and old friends of our mansion sent people to send gifts."

"Look, just after entering the warehouse, there are still some left, so I personally carried it over and sent it to the second young master."

To send it to Xie Mingan's yard? !

Shen Ningning suddenly stopped her feet.
