Chapter 169 The cloth strip belongs to the Shen family

Sure enough, Shen Jing was already in the room. I was very suspicious that this guy had been following me, otherwise how would he know to come here.

I walked up to Shen Jing and said angrily, "You followed me?" I was still a little too honest.

Shen Jing rolled his eyes at me and sat down angrily, "Why did you still go to Bai's house? Didn't I tell you that the guy named Bai is not a good person?"

"I'm looking for you, but why don't you go home?" Shen Jing suddenly came back, but instead of going home, he ran to his mother-in-law's house. Isn't that crazy?

"How do you know I didn't go home? Am I not going home now?" This person was so unreasonable and arrogant that I wanted to laugh.

Soon Shen Jing's clothes caught my attention. They looked familiar to me and I wanted to touch them to find out which piece of cloth it was.

Shen Jing was very resistant to me getting too close to him. I started to worry that Shen Jing might understand what I was thinking. I started to get close to him, but Shen Jing didn't seem to understand what I said and just kept drinking tea.

"This tea is left over from the previous night. Why are you drinking it so enthusiastically?" Indeed, the teacup is still in the same place where I left it before I left. The tea has definitely not been changed.

With a "puff!", all the tea in Shen Jing's mouth sprayed out, splashing all over me. I shouldn't have been so close to him.

"Ahhh! This material of my clothes is very difficult to make, you have to compensate me!" I was so anxious that I jumped up and down and started yelling. Shen Jing seemed to be afraid of attracting someone over, so he came up and covered my mouth.

"Keep your voice down. Do you want to call everyone over and let them know that you are in the same room with your brother-in-law?" This sounded strange, so Shen Jing took off his coat and put it on me.

"My dress is harder to order than yours." I touched the material on my body and began to feel uneasy. The feel was too familiar. Wasn't it the same piece of cloth?

I couldn't believe it and wanted to take out the strip of cloth right away and compare it. But what about Shen Jing? I had to find a way to get rid of him.

I was still thinking of an excuse when I turned around and Shen Jing was gone. That was perfect. I wanted to take out the strip of cloth from my body, but I couldn't find it no matter what I did. I turned my whole body over, but the strip of cloth was gone.

If I had known, I should have put it in my pocket. I didn’t think it would fall on the ground. I ran out and started looking for it along the way I came. I even returned to the vicinity of Bai’s house, but I didn’t see the strip of cloth.

Could it be that someone picked it up? I asked around anxiously, but no one saw it. I was a little anxious, and someone patted my shoulder gently. When I turned around, I saw Shen Jing wearing a veil.

Not to mention that Shen Jing was wearing a veil, which gave him a chivalrous vibe. Shen Jing pulled me to a dark alley and asked, "Where were you just now? How come you disappeared when I opened my eyes?"

"Oh, oh, I just wanted to go to the bathroom, and I didn't see you when I came back." Shen Jing was a little nervous. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, he must be in a hurry to come back and chase me.

"Why are you wearing a veil in broad daylight?" I touched the edge of the veil and wanted to pull it off, but Shen Jing didn't give me the chance at all.

Never mind, that's not the point. "Did you see a blue strip of cloth just now?"

Maybe Shen Jing saw it. Shen Jing began to look left and right. Although he said that he didn't see it, his hands behind his back looked extremely strange. I reached out to see what was on Shen Jing's hands behind his back.

Someone still called me. I saw Hongdou calling me anxiously outside. I turned around and Shen Jing was gone. No matter what, Hongdou must have told me something important.

As soon as I went out, Hongdou saw me. Hongdou took my hand and said, "But when she saw the coat on me, she was stunned." I followed Hongdou's gaze and didn't quite understand what was wrong with the coat on my body.

"What's wrong? Is there anything special about this coat?" This look really makes people think too much. Maybe there is blood stuck on it? I even pulled the coat back and forth to look at it.

Hongdou touched the coat all over, and we both noticed at the same time that there was a gap at the back of the coat, which seemed to be about the same size as the strip of cloth in her hand.

"Miss, where did you get this coat?" How should I reply to Hongdou? This coat belongs to Shen Jing? He came back but didn't go home but ran to my room? How can I say this?

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Hongdou didn't continue asking, "Hongdou, you were so anxious just now, what did you want to tell me?"

I just remembered that the main point now was that Hongdou was looking for me everywhere just now. "Oh, yes, Miss, we just found out that only two pieces of the cloth were sold, and they were bought by the Shen family."

Hongdou's voice became smaller and smaller. She looked at my coat as if she was thinking about something. We all knew what this meant. She was from the Shen family. Is the material so expensive?

"This material is very expensive and time-consuming. Maybe it's sold by someone else." I said this and I didn't even have confidence in myself.

"It's possible. It's getting late. Miss, we should go back." Hongdou and I knew it in our hearts, but we were just avoiding the fact.

We stood at the door of Shen's house for a long time without going in. "Miss, let's go back."

"No, let's sleep at the Shen Mansion today. Master Shen should be there. Let's go visit him." He was still unsure in his heart. What if those were the clothes that Master Shen wanted?

With this thought in mind, I knocked on Mr. Shen’s door, “Knock, knock, knock.”

A dull male voice came from inside. When I went in, I saw Mr. Shen sitting on the desk, looking at something. I handed the gift in my hand to him, and the maid next to Mr. Shen took the gift.

Then they said something politely. I thought it was about time, so I asked Hongdou to go home. I said I wanted to measure the size of Mr. Shen and make a new dress for him. Mr. Shen said there was no need to be so polite.

After my repeated emphasis, Mr. Shen finally stood up. Hongdou finished measuring quickly and I followed Hongdou out. After I went out, I saw Hongdou shaking her head, and my heart felt even colder.

What kind of measurements do wealthy families take? They have backups ready. They just measure to confirm whether the clothes Mr. Shen is wearing are made of the same material.

He walked towards his room with heavy steps, "But, Hongdou, this dress still needs to be made. Just, just, just use that material!"

Hongdou looked at me and said, "That material is really, really, really, really expensive." It's not Hongdou's fault. The material was really expensive. I reluctantly took out a silver note from my pocket, but I didn't even know if it was enough.

I am really a spendthrift. Just think about it, I only had a few taels of silver a month before, and now I get this silver note which I will never see in my life. I handed the silver note to Hongdou, and Hongdou took the money.
