(15) The King of Thieves is born
Shen Zenli took the letter from the carrier pigeon's lap. Sure enough, in the letter, Mr. Shen thanked Tang Wan'er and asked Tang Wan'er to come to his birthday banquet.
He couldn't forget to praise Tang Wan'er a few more times. However, the conversation changed and he told Shen Chanli some news.
"Is it reliable?"
Shen Chan asked.
"It's absolutely true. The King of Thieves threatened to steal the heirlooms of the Shen family. Fifth Young Master, you have to ask the old man to be careful. When the old man celebrates his birthday, it will be a mixed bag. If you don't do it right, it will be easy to sneak in. It's such a good opportunity for the King of Thieves. I probably won’t let it go.”
"Yes, it turns out that the King of Thieves has appeared. The fifth young master cannot take it lightly. He has promised that there is nothing in the world that he cannot steal."
After hearing what Lang Buxing and Yu Ruyi said, Shen Chanli just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He even specially gave Tang Wan'er a piece of roast duck. His concern was beyond words.
"I, Mr. Shen Wu, have been traveling around the world for several years. I am really not afraid of him, a mere bandit king, who dares to go to Qinghe Villa to cause trouble. Young Master, I must praise the bandit king's courage!"
At this moment, Tang Wan'er didn't know the status of Qinghe Villa in the world. She heard that the current head of the family, Shen Xuande, Shen Chanli's father, was an acquaintance of eight worshipers. Qinghe Villa operates rice shops, escort agencies, bank accounts, etc. Wait... There are countless riches and honors, comparable to tens of thousands of princes. In Ziliu City, even the state pastors have to respect him. It is like the Prince Xian's Mansion in Youzhou and the Prince Jiangling's Mansion in Yanzhou.
"Since we can only block it when it comes, I hope it won't cause any trouble."
"Sure enough, Miss Tang understands my heart."
Chen Chanli suddenly said such words, which reminded Tang Wan'er of his previous jokes. She was always at a loss when faced with such things.
However, for the sake of caution, Shen Chanli also asked Lang Buxing and Yu Ruyi to pay more attention to the recent news, and also sent his subordinates to pay close attention to suspicious persons entering and leaving Ziliu City.
Then, he took Tang Wan'er back to the villa early.
Qinghe Villa is located halfway up the mountain. The surrounding scenery is quiet and elegant, with green mountains and green waters, orchards and bamboo forests. It is like a fairyland on earth. Luohe Mountain where the villa is located is also the private property of the Shen family. Tang Wan'er came to the villa after passing many hurdles.
The villa is very large, comparable to a palace. The houses are well-proportioned, with black rocks, white walls and red columns, and the colors are simple and delicate. The internal back garden is filled with all kinds of rare and exotic plants, the pond is full of carp and fish, the rockeries are lifelike, and the mountains and ancient trees are towering. .
"Fifth Young Master, you are back."
The person who opened the door to Shen Chanli was the maid Magpie.
"Well, I'm back. Where's daddy, Magpie?"
"The master is talking to Mr. He in the study."
"Uncle He is here too."
Shen Chanli asked the magpie to report, and then took Tang Wan'er's hand and entered the courtyard. Tang Wan'er wondered if there were no rules here for men and women not to be intimate, but Qi Ying was obviously not so natural. Sure enough, it was because Shen Chanli was You are a person in the world of martial arts, so you don’t stick to trivial matters?
When Tang Wan'er was still confused, Shen Chanli took her straight to the study.
"Dad, the child is back."
Before the servants informed him that he could enter, Shen Chanli couldn't wait to see Shen Xuande.
"Li'er, why are you so ignorant? Why don't you learn more from your brothers? Didn't you see Uncle He here? Where have all the etiquette gone? Seeing Brother Zhang makes you laugh. You are so unfilial at your age. The youngest, spoiled by his aunt, brothers and sisters, doesn’t understand any rules. I haven’t met Uncle He yet!”
