After fetal transfusion: Huang Ama, your royal mausoleum has been stolen

In this short moment, many thoughts flashed through Xirui's mind.

None of them can be excluded.

"Se Teng just came back to report that the big yellow dog finally ran into the Zhao family in the east of the city." Wu Wu replied in a deep voice.

Se Teng is a guard under their command, who is particularly good at tracking.

After Yingwu took the message on the note, he returned to the shipyard first, leaving Se Teng to continue watching.

It was only not long ago that he came back to report.

"The Zhao family in the east of the city?" Xirui was puzzled. What was the origin of this Zhao family?

Yingwu immediately explained, "The Zhao family, like our Huang family, makes a living by operating a shipyard, but their scale is far smaller than ours, and they seem to be heading towards the Chen family."

"Chen family?" Xirui felt a little dazed when he heard the name.

They really have a connection with the Chen family. How come they meet again?

Over the years, Xirui had been secretly taking care of Xue Jing through the Niuhulu family, and Yingwu naturally knew about it.

As for Chen Xin, who is very close to Xue Jing, it is necessary to track him down thoroughly.

When Xirui asked him this question, he could naturally answer, "Chen Xin from Luoyun Town is the second son of the Chen family's patriarch. Eight years ago, Chen Xin was exiled to Luoyun Town for contradicting his father, and he has never returned to his family since then."

Would you throw your son out for eight years just because he talked back to you?

Xirui frowned, unwilling to believe this, "Maybe we can figure out the reason."

Since the clues have connected here, there is no reason for Xirui not to continue investigating.

She always felt that this matter was not that simple.

As for the Zhao family, "Send someone to keep a close eye on the person in the shipyard who is communicating with the Zhao family. Keep track of who he interacts with, what he says, and what he does every day."

"Of course, you need to be careful to avoid alerting the enemy."

Xirui thought for a moment and added, "I will go and explain it to my brothers in person later."

After all, if we want to keep an eye on them in the shipyard, it would be more convenient to inform Yinzhen and the others.

"Yes, we all understand." Yingwu and Wuwu looked at each other, and both saw caution in each other's eyes.

This was the first thing they did since following their master out.

And since it was a major matter involving the shipyard, they naturally knew what to do.

After Xirui gave detailed instructions, he quickly left the guest house.

It was almost the first watch of the night and servants were busy lighting lamps in various places in the yard.

Seeing Xirui and his group passing by from afar, they all stopped to greet them.

"Oh, why haven't I heard that the master's family has a princess before? She came so suddenly. Could it be that something happened at home and she rushed here to seek refuge?" The little maids who swept the outer courtyard were selected from the local area and brought into the mansion after Yinzhi and others came to Suzhou Prefecture.

I have never been able to get in touch with any master, so I have no idea about the master's affairs and can only guess on my own.

"Shh~ Please keep your voice down. Be careful not to be heard by others." The little girl who worked with her pulled her sleeve, signaling her to be more low-key.

This little girl was obviously less courageous than her companions. She waited until Xirui and the others had gone far away before she dared to continue, "Didn't you see how the masters treated the princess? Even if she came to seek refuge, we cannot afford to offend her. You better be careful."

The former subconsciously shrank his neck when he heard this, and covered his mouth as if he was a little scared.

Then he quickly relaxed, "I didn't say anything. Besides, why would I want to offend her? She's the princess of the master family. She's surrounded by her trusted followers from the capital. We can't even touch her, let alone offend her."

She was just a little envious.

I envy the princess...and I also envy the people around her.

"The masters in the backyard don't like to employ slaves like us from outside. We have been here for so many years, but we can only do odd jobs in the outer courtyard. There is really no hope in life."

Both of them were selected to serve in the palace in the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. More than four years had passed, and they were still doing odd jobs.

Some of the little maids who left the pimping business at the same time as them have become senior maids serving their masters, and they act very gloriously in public.

Some of them even turned the tables overnight and became the master's concubine. Not only did they not have to serve others, but they even had people serving them.

Unlike them...

"Look at my hands, they are so rough." It was obvious that because of her skillful hands, even the maid in the pawnshop was willing to give her parents an extra ounce of silver.

How did it become like this?

She is not reconciled!

"Did you see it just now? The princess' hands are so beautiful, white and delicate, just like what the books say, as beautiful as jade." The third master of the mansion likes poetry and books, and even his words and deeds are particularly elegant.

On several occasions, Yinzhi took his wife for a stroll in the mansion, and she happened to be working nearby.

These words were heard at that time.

"Why are you looking at those? The master's hands will naturally look beautiful." The little girl couldn't understand what her companions meant by these words. She was only focused on the work in her hands.

She didn't know whether Gege's hands were as beautiful as jade. She only knew that she couldn't sleep unless she finished today's work.

"My dear sister, please concentrate. Do you still want to be punished by the housekeeper?" She didn't want to anyway.

These housekeepers are indeed from the capital, and their methods of torturing people are endless.

Just thinking about it made her heart tremble, and her hands moved much faster.

There have been a few new masters in the mansion recently, and the maids in charge are all very busy. They dare not let anyone accuse them at this juncture.

The important thing is to do your job well.

But this person next to me is a worry and won't listen to anything I say.

He blurted out, "Tsk~ Why are you so proud? Sooner or later, one day, I..."

The frightened little girl quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and a chill ran straight up from her back, "Sister Xiaoyun! What are you going to do?"

Is she crazy?

You dare to say anything.

"You don't want to do it anymore, but I still want to be fine. Please don't let me get involved." The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.

He covered the hand of the person called Xiaoyun with all his might.

She was so suffocated that she almost fainted.

Fortunately, she discovered it in time and let go.

"Huh~ You are... cough cough... trying to suffocate me to death?" Xiaoyun gasped greedily as if she had been reborn.

"What did I say? Are you so excited?" Xiaoyun, who had come to her senses, was also feeling guilty. Her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look the person in front of her in the eye.

But he still kept it together, unwilling to admit that he had said something wrong.

He didn't say a word afterwards. He finished his work in silence and turned around and left.

The little girl was left alone, staring at her back silently and shaking her head.
