Xue Mingyue couldn't help but feel puzzled when she looked at the people along the road whose expressions suddenly changed or who suddenly started to fight.

If it were some individuals, she could explain it by having different temperaments, but almost everyone she met was like this. Seeing them was like seeing ghosts. She turned her head, looked at Xie Lang and asked politely: "Jin Wuwei usually is that so?"

Xie Lang glanced at his subordinates who were fleeing.

He said in a casual tone: "Don't worry about them, maybe there aren't enough things arranged."

Xue Mingyue thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what he said made sense.

No matter how bad his reputation is, it's not like his colleagues are so afraid of him, right? Everyone is either from Jinwu Guard or Imperial Guard. How can we be afraid of Xie Lang, a newcomer who has only been here for two or three months?

So she quickly put this anomaly behind her.

The group of people walked to the courtyard behind the government office. This courtyard is definitely not big compared to the Hou Mansion, but it is also a second-entry courtyard. Xie Lang introduced: "This is where you usually stay when you need to stay overnight."

He led people directly to the largest room.

He also ordered people to move all the boxes under the desk and put them in front of her. He said, "These were found from Xue Xujun's study. Most of them are letterheads and old books with written annotations."

The letter paper in the box showed signs of being turned over, but it was not damaged.

Xue Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lower lip, and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite."

Xie Lang shook his head: "Take a quick look and see if it's your mother's handwriting."

Xue Mingyue nodded, then squatted down, took the letter from the top and opened it. What caught her eye was the familiar handwriting of Juanxiu, and she subconsciously showed a smile.

But after seeing the above content, the smile faded.

What is written on the letterhead is the Book of Songs, Jian Jia.

My mother wrote Shangque, and Xiaque was a man's handwriting. Xue Mingyue recognized it as Xue Xujun's handwriting at a glance. I think this was the method my mother used to convey her feelings to him back then.

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyes, refolded the letter and put it back.

After rummaging through another box with old books, I found that there were various types of books in it, including not only classics, but also agricultural books, water conservancy books, related geography and customs books, etc.

She randomly picked a book and read it, and found notes in two handwritings.

Xue Mingyue frowned subconsciously and lowered the corners of her mouth. From these comments, it can be seen that Xue Xujun was still a young man who wanted to be knowledgeable and ambitious. No wonder her mother fell in love with him.

My mother was also a well-read person, but after marrying Xue Xujun, she stayed in the back house all day.

Xue Mingyue thought of what the doctor who finally came to treat her mother said, and she felt depressed... She felt depressed, would she have discovered that Xue Xujun had changed very early?

Now that he has done such a thing, why should he keep his mother's things again?

There were so many things in her mind that she felt overwhelmed.

I really don’t know how Xue Xujun became so obsessed with fame and wealth.

Xue Mingyue did not continue to look through it, and stood up and said: "These are indeed my mother's old things. Please keep these things for a long time. If you don't find anything inappropriate in them, then I will take them away?" "

Xie Lang nodded: "I will order someone to send it directly to the Marquis Mansion later."

Xue Mingyue paused for a moment, then nodded, that's fine.

She was about to say farewell to Xie Lang when suddenly someone in the uniform of a guard ran in from outside. He bowed his hands towards Xie Lang and said, "Sir, there is a prisoner in the prison who wants to see you. He is the deposed second prince."

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows.

Xue Mingyue said at the right time: "Since Lord Marquis is busy, I will go back to my house first."

As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly held by him.

"I'll go back with you," Xie Lang said softly, "See, if he has anything else to explain, then take the paper and pen in and ask him to write it down. If he doesn't write it, then forget it. I think so. News worth noting."

Xue Mingyue: "..."

"Yes, my lord."

The man swallowed and quickly retreated.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Lian Dongshu, who was walking towards him, and hurriedly shouted: "I've seen Mr. Lian!"

Lian Dongshu waved his hand casually.

He walked into the courtyard with a smile, nodded to Xue Mingyue, and joked to Xie Lang: "Didn't His Majesty tell you to have a good rest for two or three days? I heard someone said that you went to Xue Mansion, why did you still bring it with you? Madam is here?"

Xue Mingyue quickly took out her hand and returned the greeting to him.

Xie Lang said calmly: "I am indeed resting. This trip is just to pick up some old things from my mother-in-law."

Lian Dongshu glanced at a few boxes on the ground and quickly remembered what they were. He was there when the Xue Mansion was searched, and his people found these things.

Xue Mingyue suddenly looked over nervously.

She remembered that this was the real leader of the Jinwu Guard and the Imperial Guard. If he didn't give him face, he really couldn't take these things away.

"I see, these things are useless to us, you can just take them."

"But you guys came just in time. I heard that you discovered a new secret passage in Xue Mansion?" Lian Dongshu smiled and said, "Just in time, come with me to defraud Mr. Xue, he hides it well. "

Hearing this, Xue Mingyue first breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, my heart immediately started to rise again, and I looked at him in confusion: "Huh?"

Xie Lang noticed her expression from the corner of his eye, frowned, and said coldly: "If you want to trick you into going alone, there is too much blood in the prison. My wife has just escaped from danger. If you are stimulated again after going there, will you be able to compensate?" rise."

"Besides, if Your Majesty allows me to rest, then I will not interfere in official affairs."

With that said, he stretched out his hand to hold her and walked straight out.

Lian Dongshu: "..."

Lian Dongshu was so angry that he laughed. Isn't this the time for you to stay in prison day and night? Why, the madam has just escaped from danger, and there is too much blood in the prison. Who can be deceived by these words?

He took a deep breath and chased after him: "Jinglan, are you serious about not taking such a good opportunity?"

“If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop.”

Xue Mingyue reacted quickly, looked back at Lian Dongshu, and then turned to look at the expressionless Xie Lang. She thought to herself, no wonder he asked her to help search Xue's house yesterday. It turned out that they wanted to get rid of Xue Xujun. Find a breakthrough.

These two people took Xue Xujun too seriously, which aroused her curiosity.

In her opinion, Xue Xujun is at best a pawn arranged by the second prince in the dark. Even if he is involved in many cases, even the second prince has been arrested, so what secrets can he still keep?

Xue Mingyue couldn't think of a reason.

And according to Lian Dongshu's intention, he wanted her to also go to see Xue Xujun?

Let her piss him off to death?
