Chapter 158 Doubt
On the other side, Shang Wan drove the ox cart as fast as he could, but it was still past dinner time when he returned home.
Gao Yan and Shitou prepared lunch together. They originally thought Shang Wan would not come back for dinner, but Lu Chengjing asked them to leave some food for him.
I had some clear soup noodles in the morning, and after running around late at night, I was already hungry.
At this moment, I especially miss the thoughtful Xiaohuan, who would prepare snacks for her to fill her stomach every time she went to the city.
Shang Wan asked while eating: "Nothing happened at home, right? How is Xiaohuan?"
"Everything is fine at home. Xiaohuan woke up and ate something. I went to Yuan's house to get her some medicine. Xiaohuan drank the medicine and fell asleep. She hasn't woken up yet."
Seeing Shang Wan eating quickly, Lu Chengjing was worried that she would choke, so he took a bowl and served her a bowl of cabbage soup.
Since the bumper harvest of Chinese cabbage, cabbage soup has become an indispensable dish on the table.
After Shang Wan slowed down his eating, Lu Chengjing asked, "How is the escort agency doing?"
"The escort agency is going to escort a batch of medicinal herbs to Maocheng, and it's just on the way. I spent one or two taels of silver and gave them the letter."
"Have you seen Sang Qi?"
"I saw it." Shang Wan put down the soup bowl and thought of Sang Qi's face. He couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone with such a square face."
Hearing Shang Wan say this, Lu Chengjing couldn't help but be curious about what Sang Qi's face looked like to make Shang Wan exclaim like that.
"I'll draw it for you later." Shang Wan said, "I not only saw Sang Qi, but also Lu Chengyuan."
Lu Chengjing was stunned, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Shang Wan pretended not to notice anything and repeated the conversation between Lu Chengyuan and Manager Liu that he overheard in full.
Hearing words like "game" and "joke", Lu Chengjing's eyes were indifferent. The expression on Lu Chengyuan's face when he said these words seemed to appear in front of him, hypocritical, annoying, and extremely disgusting.
His stomach was churning and he couldn't help but purse his lips tightly and listened to Shang Wan finish her words quietly.
Shang Wan observed his reaction at any time. Lu Chengyuan was indeed disgusting, but Lu Chengjing shouldn't be affected by such a disgusting thing forever.
She reached out and gently pinched Lu Chengjing's fair earlobe, "What do you think they want to mention to Master Lu?"
The temperature and strength on the earlobe were extremely familiar. The dark and surging emotions instantly receded like a tide. Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and thought seriously about Shang Wan's question.
Seeing that he was calm, Shang Wan said, "I'll leave it to you. Think about it slowly. I'll go wash the dishes first."
She collected the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them.
After wiping his hands, Shang Wan came out and saw Lu Chengjing still thinking. After thinking for a while, he carried the hoe and went to the field.
The land is full of vibrant green.
The herbal stems that were planted two days ago have taken root, and most of the two acres of land irrigated with the spiritual spring water have grown new shoots.
The effect is comparable to using hormones.
——Lingquan water is a good helper for farming.
Shang Wan stared at the seedlings in his own field and was once again thankful that no one in the village had come here to open up wasteland.
Now one acre out of the five acres of land is still vacant, which was specially reserved by Shang Wan.
She also wanted to do an experiment to see what changes would occur if the seedlings grown in the spiritual field were transplanted into the ground.
A batch of cliff ginger had been harvested in the space before, and a new cliff ginger tree also appeared.
When Shang Wan was peeling garlic yesterday, he took the time to spread the spores of cliff ginger in the spiritual field. Now they have grown into tiny seedlings.
These seedlings are Shang Wan’s experimental subjects.
In order to avoid hastily transplanting the seedlings to other environments and causing all of them to die, Shang Wan carried a hoe and dug out a row of small holes horizontally. He would only transplant this row for the time being and then water them with well water.
After squatting and observing for a while, Shang Wan brushed off the dirt on her skirt and stood up, planning to come back tomorrow to see the results.
Once she has figured out the changes in the spiritual fields, the seeds, and the seedlings, she can start working on it.
Getting rich is just around the corner!

"How is it, have you figured it out?"
Lu Chengjing put down the book and said, "Maybe it has something to do with the theft case."
"Speak more carefully." Shang Wan sat down.
Lu Chengjing said: "The case of the Lu family being robbed has not been solved. Those things are here with us. Although a lot of them were smashed during the earthquake, some of them have been preserved."
Shang Wan followed his train of thought and thought, "You mean that Manager Liu suddenly came here to find out the truth and see if those things are with us?"
Lu Chengjing nodded, "At the beginning, you only took things from the third room, which was too obvious. Shang Wan didn't know how to fight, and he was penniless when he left the house, so he couldn't hire someone to steal. With Master Lu's character, not only would he not suspect us, he would also guess that this was a trap and exclude us."
"Then why are you suddenly suspicious now?"
Lu Chengjing had already thought about this question, and he said, "I guess there are two possibilities. The first is that someone in the village recognized those things and ran to the Lu Mansion to report it. Master Lu believed the informant and sent Manager Liu to confirm the situation.
The second possibility is that the Lu family must have spent a lot of money to solve the troubles inside and outside the palace and satisfy the appetites of those gentry. Now they have freed up their hands to investigate the theft, not letting go of any suspect, and they just happened to find us. "
Shang Wan clicked his tongue, "I thought Manager Liu came here to help Madam Lu."
Lu Chengjing raised his eyes, and his calm black eyes looked at Shang Wan with an ambiguous expression.
Shang Wan felt puzzled and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Am I wrong?"
Lu Chengjing considered his words carefully and said slowly, "Mrs. Lu would not do this. She values rules the most. She teaches people in person and will not let others do it."
Shang Wan chuckled, "It's true that he didn't use anyone else's hands, and he was very good at choosing the time. He punished me when you were not around, and there was no one to plead for mercy."
"You..." Lu Chengjing frowned in confusion, as if he wanted to ask something, but when he met Shang Wan's almond-shaped eyes that contained hints of sarcasm, he cautiously swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The corners of his lips pursed up and his Adam's apple rolled quickly.
Shang Wan held up his chin and looked at him, his gaze moving down from his eyebrows to his eyes.
She knew what Lu Chengjing was wondering about. He was simply asking her why she knew what had happened to the original Shang Wan.
She could say that, but time travel was hard to explain.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
The atmosphere fell into silence, sinking continuously.
His eyes moved down to the fingers that were tightly clasping the armrest. The fingertips were white due to the force, but the knuckles were slightly pink.
Truly beautiful hands are not picky about angles.
Shang Wan reached out and grabbed it, interlocking their fingers intimately, and took the initiative to bring up the previous topic, "Continue to analyze, if it is the first possibility, who do you think the informant would be?"
Lu Chengjing stared at the two people's clasped hands and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
Shang Wan raised her eyelashes and looked at him. After their eyes locked for a few seconds, they said almost in unison, "Lin family."
"That's right, we have the same thoughts." Shang Wan let go of her beautiful hand, and gently stroked her palm with his fingertips, writing the word "Lin" stroke by stroke.
——Writing on the palm of your hand is used for flirting.
