After sending Xiao Jianghe away, Xuan Ji was puzzled.

"If Zheng Zhen'er knew what happened tonight, wouldn't she be exposed?"

"I pretended to be Miss Yuan in order to mislead Zheng Zhen'er."

Ah Bao stood by the window, listening to the bidding getting heated again, feeling confused: "In Jiangnan right now, the only people who know that Zheng Zhen'er has joined the Yuan family are the Yuan family."

Zheng Zhen'er was so smart that she must have believed that this Miss Yuan was real.

Even when she was Miss Yuan, she was highly valued by Prime Minister Yuan.

But Xuanji was still worried, "What if Zheng Zhener wrote a letter to ask Yuan Lao for confirmation?"

Hearing this, A Bao looked towards the soft couch next to the museum shelf. The black-robed King, who was accompanying Xiao Jing'er to read a picture book, seemed to have sensed something and looked at her tenderly with his black eyes.

A Bao's heartbeat was soothed: "My uncle arranged for secret guards to intercept the letter."

The fastest round trip from Jiangnan to the imperial capital takes six days.

As luck would have it, there was an autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River some time ago, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk on.

The half month of delay was just enough time for her to clean up the mess.

Xuan Ji, who was watching, silently covered Wan Wan's eyes and joked.

"Let's not watch it, it's too exciting."

Hearing this, A Bao blushed with embarrassment, turned around pretending nothing had happened, and continued to look out the window. Six golden candles had been lit in the Hu family's box, temporarily winning over the Xu family.

Bai Cha took over the identity of the young master of the Hu family and got involved.

What exactly is the plan?

A Bao was full of doubts, while Liu Ruyi smiled more sincerely.

"Thirty million for the first time! Are you still bidding?"

Before he finished speaking, the curtain of Xu's box was drawn aside.

The young man in a white robe and wearing a silver mask took the bow and arrow from the wall and looked straight towards the top-floor box with a cold gaze.

When their eyes met, A Bao's expression suddenly became stern.

The young man in white robe remained calm and tightened the bowstring.

The whole room was silent, and all the guests held their breath.

The next moment, an arrow with a sharp cold glow was aimed at the dome of Yueqin Island.

A Bao also raised his eyes and looked. It was the Nine-Rhinoceros Lantern.

It looks like a full moon and also like autumn osmanthus.

In the blink of an eye, he was shot through by an arrow from the young man in white robe.

It is like an autumn wind blowing and the whole room is filled with golden rain.

Falling on the flower bed, it is like the sprouting of cassia twigs, soft and yellow and intoxicating.

What broke the silence on the top floor was Wanwan's surprised exclamation.

"That broken stick is so valuable?!"

A Nine-Rhinoceros Lamp in a brothel is equivalent to the annual revenue of the Shen family, a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan.

Xuanji held back her laughter and took the glass cup that Hongxiu brought to her.

"Ah Bao, sell that broken stick to him!"

"Because he might find out it's fake and suddenly regret buying it."

Hearing this, Wanwan collapsed even more, "Fake?"

Xuanji revealed the secret with a smile: "I picked it up from the back kitchen of Bailu Academy. Don't worry, I picked up the one that looked the most pleasing to the eye."

Upon hearing this, Wanwan became even more worried.

If the news that a brothel sells fake goods gets out, will this business still be continued?

However, Wanwan stole glances at the black-robed king.

But she was surprised to find that the man was enjoying playing with the child by building blocks.

After struggling for a while, Wanwan said worriedly, "Madam, is the ball you play with too big?"

A Bao stared at the sky full of gold foil in a trance, and in a trance he looked towards the Xu family's box. Under the bright lights, the mask of the young man in white robe exuded a cold air.

"The charcoal stick was specially made for him tonight."

"And he is by no means an innocent person."

On this side, A Bao silently clenched the black gold invitation in his hand.

Stimulated by the medicine, the silver fireflies in the glass cup flapped their little wings.

Xuanji teased curiously, "Since you already knew that he was behind the Xu family, why don't you catch him tonight while he is falling into the trap?"

"Pei Nanshan is still hiding." A Bao said coldly.

In the memories of the previous life, there are some clues that may be the rebellion of the Pei family.

When she rushed to Jiangnan, she also sent secret guards from the Youzi tribe to sneak into the Pei family's old house in Huainan, but all traces were eliminated. The Pei family she secretly investigated was just like the reputation that the Pei family had built up for generations, with clean hands and a clean record.

The Pei family kept assassins, bribed officials, and even provided for the entire Mengjia Island.

After so many years, the dark silver in Prince Xuan's Palace is definitely not enough.

Where did the rest of the silver come from?

And where is Pei Nanshan hiding at this moment?

At the same time, in the Xu family's box.

The old butler was nervous, "Would you like to ask the master again?"

The young man in white robe looked at the old butler with a cold look, "Who are you asking? The piano music was too loud, and I couldn't hear it clearly. Could you trouble Mr. Liu to say it again?"

Speak in a calm tone and use polite words.

But the old butler felt like a knife was at his neck.

"It was the old servant who overstepped his authority." The old butler lowered his head and recalled the rumors in the village.

The master and the eldest son had a disagreement for some unknown reason.

Looking at the eldest son's current attitude, it is true that there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

Thinking of this, the old butler, with cold sweat on his back, became more respectful: "You must have had your reasons for winning the charcoal stick tonight."

Hearing this, the young man in white robe's expression became even more gloomy and complicated.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the corridor.

It was Liu Ruyi who came personally with her attendants to deliver the treasure.

The young man in white robes touched the key to the mechanism lying quietly in the sandalwood box and said, "The one in the top floor box tonight is the master of your brothel, right?"

Liu Ruyi smiled tactfully: "That box is indeed owned by the owner."

But she said nothing about who was there tonight.

Hearing this, the young man in white robe hesitated inwardly.

This piece of charcoal should be the bait.

Abao made a move, certain that he must have come for it.

So what's her next move?

First block them? Then strangle them?
