Li Yue Shu instinctively jumped back, her face filled with disgust.
She didn't linger, closing the window from the inside and then boldly walked out the front door.
As she closed the door, she used the extra thin thread to set up a mechanism to lock it from the inside. She then tidied up the thin threads outside and the voice recorder on the roof before leaving.
She needed to record data and conclusions at any time for her experiments, so a dedicated voice recorder was naturally prepared in the laboratory.
She hadn't expected it to be useful here!
The plan was proceeding smoothly, and Li Yue Shu was in a good mood.
She threw her things into her spatial storage after packing them, unaware that Shen Wei had been watching her from a hidden spot.
However, he was far away, and Li Yue Shu's back was facing him, so he didn't see the items disappear into thin air. He was only puzzled as to how she managed to pack everything up so quickly.
But Shen Wei didn't dwell on it.
He could tell Li Yue Shu had been trying to scare someone by pretending to be a ghost, so she went to the fabric shop to buy white cloth?
What Shen Wei didn't realize was that, at this moment, he felt a faint sense of relief.
Just then, Li Yue Shu suddenly turned around, her pair of crimson eyes fully exposed.
Shen Wei was startled. If not for his exceptional willpower, he would have almost exposed his whereabouts.
Li Yue Shu was completely unaware of this. She swiftly removed the vampire contact lenses from her eyes.
She hadn't expected that the vampire contact lenses she and Xiao Yu had bought together during the Double Eleven sale would be so useful.
...
Li Yue Shu was in a great mood. The next day, while making breakfast, she even hummed a tune.
Shen Zhi Yu stretched his small head out, peeking through the kitchen door.
Seeing Li Yue Shu look over, he immediately clapped his hands, smiling joyfully, "Mama sings beautifully, A Yu wants to sing too!"
Li Yue Shu's gaze softened. She wiped her hands on her apron and picked up little A Yu. "If A Yu likes it, Mama will teach you now."
"The sun is shining bright,
The flowers smile at me,
The little bird says, 'Chirp, chirp, chirp!'
Why are you carrying your little schoolbag..."
Shen Wei had just finished washing up when he heard cheerful, childlike singing, along with A Yu's unclear pronunciation and even slightly off-key voice.
But for some reason, Shen Wei felt this was more moving than any song he had heard from famous singers.
In a good mood, he went directly to the kitchen to listen.
...
After breakfast, Li Yue Shu went to the restaurant again.
After several rounds of selection, the restaurant staff had been fully recruited, and the most important task now was training.
Shen Wei naturally followed.
In Li Yue Shu's opinion, although his intellect was low, he was very sensible and never disturbed her work.
This was why she was willing to take him along.
Shen Wei always found a corner to play by himself. Since no one paid attention to him, no one knew what he was doing.
While everyone was busy, he quietly left and went to a deserted corner in the backyard.
As soon as he stood still, a figure suddenly appeared and respectfully bowed to him, "Master, your subordinate has found out the owner of the fabric shop."
Shen Wei nodded.
He already knew Li Yue Shu had gone to the fabric shop to buy white cloth, so there was nothing more to suspect.
However, Xing He looked up with a serious expression, "The person behind the fabric shop is the younger brother of the older sister-in-law of the wife of the Eastern Palace's procurement officer."
This connection was a bit distant, but precisely because of this, his actions wouldn't be suspected.
As he finished speaking, the atmosphere around them instantly turned cold.
Xing He cautiously glanced at the person in front of him. His face was expressionless, yet he inexplicably felt his anger.
He swallowed and said, "Master, now that it's confirmed this Li Yue Shu is someone from the Crown Prince's faction, then..."
He remembered the master had previously said that once the woman's identity was confirmed, he would kill her with his own hands.
Shen Wei's thin lips were tightly pursed, and he did not reply.
His beautiful eyes churned with hidden currents, carrying an unreadable emotion.
After an unknown period of silence, Shen Wei suddenly spoke, "Do you have any news of Ji Mo Bai?"
Xing He was startled and somewhat confused, "Master's dementia has been cured. Your subordinate has already recalled the people searching for Divine Doctor Ji Mo."
Shen Wei lowered his gaze, his expression unfathomable. "Continue to have people search in secret, and do not alert anyone."
"Ah? Master's dementia isn't cured yet?" Xing He scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Then he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up, "Master is worried Li Yue Shu might poison him, so you want to find Divine Doctor Ji Mo to deal with her, right!"
"But if Li Yue Shu wanted to harm people with her medical skills, why would she cure Master's dementia?"
Xing He fell into confusion again, asking himself a question he couldn't answer.
Shen Wei remained silent, merely casting a nonchalant glance at him. The overbearing aura made Xing He shiver.
"Your subordinate will attend to it at once!"
He didn't dare to dawdle and quickly slipped away.
Shen Wei, however, stood in place for a long time, no one knowing what he was thinking.
...
No one noticed Shen Wei had left for a while, nor did they notice the unusual depth in his eyes when he looked at Li Yue Shu.
Because of last night's events, Li Yue Shu was in a good mood all day and even had everyone finish their training early.
Some of these employees were hired by her, and some were sent by Hong Dai.
Having agreed to cooperate with Ming Yue Lou, Xian Liu Restaurant naturally needed their people to gather information.
These people were experienced, so Li Yue Shu's training was also smooth.
As the New Year approached, Li Yue Shu gave a red envelope to each new employee. After setting the opening date, she took Shen Wei and Shen Can home.
On the way back, Shen Can excitedly told Li Yue Shu about the details after the restaurant opened.
Although Li Yue Shu was the owner, Shen Can had participated in almost every step of the restaurant's renovation and hiring. She stayed because the restaurant needed help.
From a certain perspective, Xian Liu Restaurant held a special significance for Shen Can, and she naturally cared about it more than anyone.
Shen Wei sat in the carriage, listening to their enthusiastic conversation, but felt an unspeakable frustration.
A Yu and A Yi had already recognized Li Yue Shu as their mother, and A Min and A Wen were also very reliant on her. If they knew she was someone from the Crown Prince's faction, the children wouldn't know how sad they would be.
If he were to kill her with his own hands, perhaps the children would develop an irreparable rift with him.
No, he couldn't alienate the children because of this Li Yue Shu.
Perhaps he could talk to her?
With this thought, Shen Wei suddenly had an idea.
As long as she was willing to give up the Crown Prince, for the sake of the children, he could protect her.
Thinking this, Shen Wei suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yue Shu, who was about to get out of the carriage.
Li Yue Shu turned her head and met his stern expression.
For some reason, Shen Wei at this moment gave her a feeling of not being foolish at all.
Li Yue Shu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shen Wei's face was cold, completely devoid of his usual foolish innocence. He looked no different from an ordinary person, and even exuded a demeanor that was beyond that of ordinary people.
He looked directly into Li Yue Shu's eyes and slowly said, "Let's talk."
