"It's nothing." Shen Chufan waved his hand, "It's just reading to pass the time."

"Second brother is now in business?"

"Never." Shen Chuhan shook his head.

"Then second brother, do you have any plans?"

"This..." Shen Chufan hesitated for a moment, "I feel ashamed to say that I have never had time to practice it."

Xu Ruoxue saw the disappointment in Shen Chufan's eyes, and then comforted her: "Second brother, don't be discouraged. It will get better in the future."

"Well, I hope so." Shen Chufan nodded lightly.

Xuruoxue kept this incident in mind.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Shen Chufan was called away by the boy because he had something to do.

Ji Xiaorou, who was full of anger, returned to her yard and smashed all the porcelain. She was still angry.

"Damn it, why are the people in the General's Mansion looking at Xuruoxue as if they were being bowed down?"

"Miss, please be careful, we are still living in the General's Mansion!" Hua'er said in a low voice.

"Humph!" Ji Xiaorou also understood the situation at this moment and immediately calmed down.

Then he thought of what happened before, sneered and asked: "How did the thing I asked you to do last time go?"

After hearing this, Hua'er immediately replied respectfully: "This slave has already hidden General Shen's favorite vase according to the eldest lady's instructions."

"Yes." Ji Xiaorou nodded, "If you do this today, you will smash the vase in the dead of night and bury it in Xuruoxue's garden, so that we can do it without anyone noticing."

While she was giving instructions to Hua'er, she was planning to make Xuruoxue look embarrassed and make her uncle angry. See how she could stay in the general's mansion!

"Yes, Miss, I will definitely complete your instructions conscientiously." Hua'er said respectfully.

"Remember, don't be discovered." Ji Xiaorou reminded Hua'er seriously, for fear that the matter would be exposed and involve herself.

"Yes, I have remembered this. Miss, please rest assured." After hearing this, Hua'er pursed her lips and replied affirmatively to Ji Xiaorou.

"In that case, go down and get ready." Ji Xiaorou ordered her.

"Slave, please leave."

After Ji Xiaorou heard this, she waved her hand to Hua'er to ask her to leave.

Then he asked someone to clean up the broken porcelain in the room, walked to the table and sat down slowly, imagining that Xuruoxue was about to be in disaster, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Xuruoxue was taking inventory of her assets in the room at this time.

Ever since I heard Shen Chufan's words, my heart has been feeling a little itchy.

Now I have a lot of capital, but now I am short of opportunities. I just don’t know if I can do business well in the capital.

It seems that we need to find an opportunity to visit the capital and conduct a thorough on-the-spot investigation.

It was late at night, Xuruoxue felt a little tired, so she went to bed and fell asleep early.

A figure appeared in Xuruoxue's yard.

Hua'er sneaked into Xuruoxue's garden, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention.

So he quickly started digging the hole with the shovel in his hand, then put the broken vase inside, filled it with soil, and left happily when no one was around.

"Miss, the things you asked me have been completed. Everything went smoothly and no one saw it." Hua'er cautiously came to Ji Xiaorou to report.

"Well, well done, you should go and have some rest." Ji Xiaorou felt very happy after hearing this, and there was a bit more smile on her face when facing Hua'er.

"Yes, Miss." Hua'er responded and quietly exited the room.

The next day, the sun had just risen.

The guards in the General's Mansion were all looking for something in a hurry.

"This thief didn't steal other valuable things? Why did he steal the general's favorite vase?"

"Perhaps this thief has the same taste as the general and fell in love with this vase!"

"How much is a vase worth, and why are you so aggressive about it?"

"Are you new here? The general has never liked these things. I heard that this vase was a trophy captured by the general on his first battlefield. It is of great significance!"

The servants in the General's Mansion were talking a lot early in the morning.

"Miss, Miss!" Hua'er came to the door of the room early in the morning and called Ji Xiaorou to get up.

"What's the name of a ghost so early in the morning!" Ji Xiaorou looked impatient.

"Miss, the people in the General's Mansion discovered that the vase was missing and started a large-scale search." Hua'er told her the current situation in the General's Mansion.

"Ha!" Ji Xiaorou's face showed a hint of joy, and the energy of getting up just now was gone, "I want to see how this Xuruoxue can still be the young lady of the General's Mansion this time!"

"Hua'er."

"My servant is here, what are your orders, young lady?"

"Hurry up and help me wash up. How can I be missing at this time?" Ji Xiaorou said with a cold smile.

"Yes, Miss."

Afterwards, Ji Xiaorou brought Hua'er to Xuruoxue's yard in a swaggering manner.

Seeing Xuruoxue walking in the garden, she happily walked forward and said to Xuruoxue: "Sister Xueer, you got up so early!"

"Sister Ji, it's quite early. What's the matter with coming to see me?" Xuruoxue looked at Ji Xiaorou's expression.

The two of them just broke up on bad terms yesterday, so they came here to show their courtesy this early in the morning. There could be some conspiracy.

A sense of vigilance immediately arose in my heart, and my eyes were always watching her every move.

Ji Xiaorou was in a happy mood and said unhurriedly: "Of course I want to ease the relationship with sister Xue'er."

"how you said that?"

Ji Xiaorou pretended to be very happy: "I have thought a lot these past few days and realized that I was really wrong. I should be happy that you have become the young lady of the General's Mansion. After all, I have gained another little sister."

"Really?" Xu Ruoxue obviously didn't believe her words.

"Of course, I was wrong before." Ji Xiaorou stepped forward and held her hand with a sisterly look, "We will be sisters from now on. If you need anything, just tell me."

Xuruoxue looked at her hypocritical appearance and really didn't want to have too much interaction with her.

"Sister Ji is interested." She said and pulled her hand away forcefully.

Ji Xiaorou, however, seemed to have been pushed by her and threw herself to the ground: "Sister Xue'er, what are you doing?"

Xuruoxue didn't know what kind of medicine Ji Xiaorou sold in the gourd, so she frowned: "Sister Ji..."

"Ah! What is this?" Ji Xiaorou's finger was scratched with blood.

Hua'er had already told her where to bury the broken porcelain pieces before, so she deliberately fell towards that place today.

Xuruoxue heard her shouting and quickly stepped forward to check.

When she found that Ji Xiaorou was holding a piece of porcelain in her hand, she looked panicked: "This seems to be my uncle's vase!"

"What vase?" Xuruoxue was a little confused and looked at Ji Xiaorou with confusion.

"You actually broke my uncle's favorite vase! Are you still hiding it here?" Ji Xiaorou shouted loudly.

As soon as she shouted, the guards in the mansion were called over.

"What happened?" Shen Chuhan came over with the guards.

"Brother Han!" Ji Xiaorou was lying on the ground, looking panicked, "Sister Xue'er probably didn't do it on purpose."

"What's wrong with her?" Shen Chuhan looked past Ji Xiaorou and looked directly at Xuruoxue.

"I'm not sure either." Xuruoxue kept staring at Ji Xiaorou, wondering what she wanted to do.

The guard behind Shen Chuhan had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the fragment of the vase in Ji Xiaorou's hand.

"Master, that fragment..."

Only then did Shen Chuhan turn his gaze to Ji Xiaorou.

In order to confirm whether it was the general's vase, Shen Chuhan took a few steps forward.

Ji Xiaorou thought Shen Chuhan was trying to help her up, so she handed her hand over.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chuhan took the vase fragments from her hand without even looking.

"Brother Han..." Ji Xiaorou's hands were hanging in the air, feeling embarrassed.

When Xu Ruoxue saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her. This Shen Chuhan was so amazing, he didn't understand the charm at all!

"It is indeed the vase that father is looking for." After Shen Chuhan confirmed it, he said calmly.

Then he stared at Ji Xiaorou: "Where did you find this?"

Ji Xiaorou wanted to make a complaint, but when she saw Shen Chuhan's cold eyes, she immediately gave up the idea.

Hua'er behind him immediately stepped forward to help his young lady up.

"This was just discovered from the soil." Ji Xiaorou pointed to the soil on the ground and said, "Brother Han, you see this soil looks like it has been newly turned over."
