Chapter 180 Red Mole
Bao Wendan folded the note and put it into his arms with satisfaction, then showed his hand to Shang Wan: "Silver."
Shang Wan gave him two taels of silver.
Bao Wenwen put the money into his purse, with a smile on his face, and whispered: "Sang Qi is hiding in the small stone alley in the south of the city, in the house at the end of the alley."
Shang Wan was a little surprised. She thought Sang Qi had escaped from the city.
Has this been heard or not?
She asked: "What is he doing in the house?"
Bao inquired and shrugged and said he didn't know. Sang Qi was not weak in martial arts. If he approached rashly, he would be discovered. He had no interest in getting beaten.
He reminded: "Sang Qi bought a horse yesterday. It seems he wants to go out of town. If you want to find him, you have to find him as soon as possible. Don't rely on my lack of information for not finding him by then."
Shang Wan nodded, "Okay."
"I'm leaving." Bao Wenzhen turned around and wanted to run away. Before his legs could move, a slender hand was placed on his shoulder.
The sweet female voice was lazily filled with coldness, "Where's the message you sent me? You don't want to ignore it, do you?"
Bao, who had this intention, asked: "..."
"How could it be?" Bao Wenwen turned around and laughed dryly, "My back is itchy and I want to scratch it against the wall."
Shang Wan smiled and was very helpful, "Do you need me to scratch you?"
"No, no need!" Bao Wenwen swallowed and spoke quickly, "Yesterday, three strangers came to the city and asked me for news about you."
Shang Wan let him go, frowned and asked, "What kind of foreigner?"
Bao inquired: "The leader is fair and good-looking. He is dressed as a scholar and has a red mole on his left earlobe. The two men following him should be guards. Their eyes are very fierce and they may have seen blood. The three of them have similar accents. It’s from the capital.”
From the capital?
It seems that the original owner doesn't know anyone in the capital.
Due to lack of memory, Shang Wan is not 100% sure about this. She secretly wrote down Bao Wenwen's description of the three of them. It would be easy to identify them if they had red moles on their earlobes.
She looked at the bag and asked, "What did they ask you about?"
Bao inquired: "The leading man asked about your current situation and where you currently live."
"Have you told them all?"
"Of course." Bao asked hummingly, "They give you money much more freely than you do."
Shang Wan shrugged, "Whoever has money wouldn't want to spend money like water, but who made me poor?"
Bao asked and curled his lips.
Shang Wan smiled and spread his hands towards him, "It's not too much to give me some money for selling my news, right?"
Bao inquired: "..."
This gesture of asking for money looks so damn familiar!

The waiter placed the dishes on the tray on the table one by one and said with a smile: "The dishes are all here, sir, please take your time."
Xiaohuan stretched his neck and looked at the door of the restaurant, whispering, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Chu Xu bit into half a dried bitter melon and looked toward the door.
Diners came and went, but that familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.
Xiaohuan looked away, worried that the two children would starve, and said softly: "You guys eat first, I'll wait later."
Chu Xu was indeed hungry, but he wanted to wait for Shang Wan to come back and eat together.
Yuanyuan hugged the milk bottle and waited for her mother to come back.
Shang Wan didn't stay too long. When he came back, he saw that none of the three people were using their chopsticks. He couldn't help but smile, "Are you waiting for me?"
The elder and the younger nodded in unison.
"No need to wait next time." Shang Wan sat down and handed the rice to Chu Xu and Xiao Huan.
A small hand held a piece of crispy meat and handed it to her mouth, with round eyes and bright eyes, "Mom, second!" "Be good." Shang Wan took it and spooned the egg custard to feed her while eating.
The egg custard was topped with meat sauce, and Yuanyuan puffed out his cheeks and ate it seriously, seeming to like the taste of the meat sauce.
Xiaohuan saw it, stretched out her chopsticks and picked out some meat sauce and stuffed it into her mouth. She slurped it carefully for a moment and nodded secretly. She could make this flavor when she went back.
Yuanyuan thought Aunt Xiaohuan wanted to eat custard, so she pushed the spoon that Shang Wan had put to her mouth towards Xiaohuan, and her voice was soft and waxy, "Auntie, time!"
"Eat Yuanyuan." Xiao Huan said with heartfelt thoughts, her niece was so caring and affectionate.
Yuanyuan blinked, opened her little mouth, and obediently took the custard from the spoon into her mouth.
Shang Wan fed her while eating by himself. He glanced at the dishes on the table and reached out to put the roast duck in front of Chu Xu.
When the kid first came here, he wanted to eat Babao Duck. This dish was not available in the restaurant. There were ducks on both sides, so he had to make do with it.
Chu Xu didn't know what Shang Wan was thinking. He only touched the roast duck once with his chopsticks because it was too greasy.
What good things has the young master never eaten? His mouth has long been naughty.
In the military camp, there are no conditions and no choice. With his father and brother watching over him, he didn't dare to be too picky, otherwise he would really go hungry.
Now when we go out to eat, no one is in charge, so the young master will naturally come as he likes.
He felt that the food in the restaurant was not as delicious as Aunt Xiaohuan's, and it was even worse than what he had at home.
After eating only half of a bowl of rice, Chu Xu put down his chopsticks.
Xiaohuan looked over with concern, "But your stomach feels uncomfortable?"
Children can eat two small bowls of rice at home, but now they have only eaten a little, so why do they put down their chopsticks?
Chu Xu glanced at Shang Wan secretly and muttered: "It doesn't taste good. I don't want to eat it."
Chu Xu behaved so well that Xiao Huan almost forgot that this young master from Duke Dingguo's mansion was well-informed and not one of those kids in the village who chased dogs and chased chickens and could be happy all day long just by eating meat.
She frowned slightly and glanced at the untouched dishes on the table. She wanted to let Chu Xu order something he liked, but she was worried that it would be a waste of money.
Shang Wan raised his eyes and looked at the child opposite, "Doesn't it suit your taste?"
Chu Xu pursed his lips and nodded.
Shang Wan said: "Then don't eat it."
Hearing these words, Chu Xu felt aggrieved inexplicably. He lowered his head, his little hands resting on the bench quietly clenched into fists, his eyes turning a little red.
"Didn't you want to eat mung bean cakes yesterday?" Shang Wan didn't notice Chu Xu's strange behavior and fed Yuanyuan a spoonful of egg custard. His tone was as usual, "I'll buy two packs later. You can eat that one too."
Chu Xu raised his head and looked at Shang Wan with bright amber cat eyes, "You won't scold me?"
"Isn't it because the food doesn't taste good? Why are you scolding you?" Shang Wan didn't understand what was going on in the child's little head. "Everyone has something they don't like to eat. If you don't like it, don't force it."
Anyway, leftovers can be packaged and not wasted.
"You're so kind." Chu Xu stared at Shang Wan, his cat eyes brightening again.
Shang Wan:?
What’s so good about it?
Chu Xu murmured in a low voice: "I wish you were my mother."
Shang Wan: "..."
Then I might beat you to death for being a treacherous son of a bitch.
"My mother is actually quite good." Chu Xu said to himself, "Except for taking care of me, everything else is good."
The child whimsically said, "It would be great if I had two mothers. One is my current mother, and the other is like you."
Shang Wan: "..."
My child, aren't you afraid that your two mothers will receive double punishment?
If she were Chu Xu's mother, after hearing this, she would treat him to a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
"My!" Yuanyuan suddenly hugged Shang Wan's arm, staring at Chu Xu with her big eyes warily, "My! Mother!"
My mother is Zaizai’s mother! Even the little brother can’t steal it!
