Chapter 195 Preparing to Go Back Again
"It's just a human skin mask. Who would have thought that this Lü Tong was actually a fake?" Xiao Qinian felt that he was too careless. He knew that his family had many secrets, yet he still brought someone home casually, almost causing a tragedy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyue sighed inwardly. She hadn't expected that she had initially felt something was off about Lü Tong, but after investigating and finding nothing wrong, she had relaxed and ended up falling into a trap.
"Father, where is this fake Lü Tong now? Have you found out who ordered him?"
"The fake Lü Tong is dead. He bit his tongue and committed suicide. We didn't get anything out of him, and we don't know who's behind him." Xiao Qinian was very annoyed. They hadn't found anything and someone had died, putting them in a passive situation.
Xiao Siyue hadn't expected that he would die.
It seems the person behind this is quite powerful. Lü Tong must have trained a suicide squad. But isn't this giving her too much credit, sending a suicide squad to deal with such a young girl?
Training assassins is no easy task, so the person behind it must be determined to obtain the papermaking formula.
Sigh, I wonder where Lu Tong really is. She's probably dead by now. That poor girl.
Now that the person is dead, there's nothing they can do but be more careful in the future, because who knows if there will be another fake Lü Tong?
Xiao Siyue felt a bit aggrieved. Someone had broken into her house, but she didn't even know who it was.
After Xiao Qinian returned, he had people investigate Lü Tong again and also looked for those who had previously chased Lü Tong, but they had all disappeared without a trace.
They gained nothing. From then on, Xiao Qinian became even more cautious in his actions.
From what Lü Tong said before, we know that the people behind them must be very powerful. They are still too weak to confront them head-on.
After that, Xiao Siyue also had Liu Xiaoyu and the others secretly investigate everyone in the paper mill, just in case there were people with ill intentions among them. Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to hand over the paper-making formula; at most, it would just mean she would earn a little less. The real fear was that the person behind it was an enemy who would use the paper-making formula to deal with the Great Zhou.
Fortunately, nothing was found to be wrong.
Despite her worries that the people behind it would continue to target her, Xiao Siyue did not give up on the development of the paper mill because of this incident.
As the saying goes, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days." Now the enemy is in the dark, while they are in the light. Who knows when the person behind the scenes will come out? We can't keep the paper mill running forever.
So Xiao Siyue continued to open her study in various counties of Yuzhou Prefecture according to her plan, and even accelerated the process. Not only that, Xiao Siyue recruited another group of people and expanded the scale of the paper mill, otherwise, with the current efficiency of the paper mill, the other shops would not be able to keep up with demand.
Nowadays, most people use books and paper from Songyue Bookstore, which are not only inexpensive but also easy to use, and are very popular among readers.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Siyue had another idea: to go back to her hometown and build a paper mill, and also open a study there.
We aim to open study rooms throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty within a few years, allowing more people to use Xuan paper.
Time passed slowly amidst Xiao Siyue's busy schedule, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed since the incident.
Nothing unusual happened during these past few months.
Now that the year is almost over, Xiao Siyue thought about her previous plans and decided to set off back to Xiaojia Village in a few days to finish building the paper mill as soon as possible, and also to go home and see her family.
However, I don't know if Lin Qin will go back this time, as I haven't heard her mention it.
Xiao Siyue planned to ask during dinner that evening.
A few days ago, she received a letter from her brother, Xiao Siyu, saying that they would be returning to Xiaojia Village for the Spring Festival this year. Xiao Sizhe would be taking the provincial examination next year and didn't plan to travel anymore; he wanted to go home to prepare. Xiao Siyu also planned to go back with them.
Xiao Siyue still misses her brother very much. It's been almost a year. Although letters are sent back occasionally, they haven't been sent back yet. She wonders if he has grown any taller.
In the evening, in the Xiao family hall
After dinner, the Xiao family sat together and drank tea.
Xiao Siyue then shared her thoughts with Xiao Qinian and his wife.
"Yue'er, why don't you wait a few more days?" Xiao Qinian said to Xiao Siyue after hearing this.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Xiao Siyue asked, puzzled. A few days earlier or later, it was all the same.
“When I wrote back last time, my teacher told us that I would probably be transferred to the capital soon after the New Year next year, so I plan to go back this year as well.” In the letter that Shen Junru sent before, she mentioned that she had not been back to Xiaojia Village for six years.
"So soon?" Xiao Siyue was a little surprised, not expecting to be going to the capital so soon.
“Yes, Qianyuan County is developing very well now. The people live and work in peace and contentment. We can leave now.” Xiao Qinian was still a little reluctant to leave the place where he had stayed for almost six years.
In the past few years, Qianyuan County has transformed from a poor and backward place to a prosperous one. He is very satisfied with himself and has no regrets.
"Then, Father, let's go back together."
After returning to her room, Xiao Siyue thought about it carefully and realized that this had disrupted her original plan.
She originally planned to return to Qianyuan County after building the paper mill and settling everything there, but that's no longer possible.
Having returned to Xiaojia Village this time, she estimated that she would not be able to go back to Qianyuan County again, as she wouldn't have enough time.
Fortunately, everything in Qianyuan County has been basically resolved.
Her businesses have now found suitable managers, and she only needs to check on them periodically each year.
However, before leaving, it was necessary to make some arrangements, especially for the paper mill managed by Liu Xiaoyu.
Although Liu Xiaoyu has now basically handed over all the work to Zou Ping, she has opened several shops in the past few months, which has led to a shortage of manpower and a lot more work to do.
Liu Xiaoyu planned to take her with her when the time came; this person was just too useful, and she couldn't find such a talent for the time being.
It seems we need to pay more attention in the future and find more talented people to help him manage it.
The next day, Xiao Siyue called Liu Xiaoyu over and told her what had happened.
"Miss, don't worry, I can hand over the things I'm doing very soon, and I'll be able to make it in time," Liu Xiaoyu assured confidently.
