The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Chapter 76: Spending All the Family Wealth to Find His Son (Edited)

Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then said slowly, "Actually, I came to Jiangnan this time with a mission."

"Gangnam officials are seriously corrupt and have long caused unbearable suffering to the people of Jiangnan. My mission as a husband is to get to the bottom of this matter, find evidence, arrest those corrupt officials in the court one by one, and bring them back to Shengjing..."

After hearing these words, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, with a look of surprise on her face, thinking to herself:

[So this is what His Highness wanted to tell me! I was so nervous just now, but I already knew this! ]

[However, I didn’t expect His Highness to really confess to me! I just don’t know why His Highness would say this so suddenly…]

Although she knew it, Lu Xiaoxiao still played dumb: "No wonder my husband often wants to discuss matters with Master Huaijun. It's because of this matter. If I stay in Suzhou, won't it delay my husband's time?"

"That's not the case, ma'am, don't let your imagination run wild."

Xie Xi: "If it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't have been able to meet Madam Jiang, let alone know that Madam Jiang was the wife of the Governor of Jiangning."

"Besides, there seems to be some discord between the couple, and Madam Jiang has promised me that she will do things for me."

"It seems that Madam has brought great luck to me."

[That's right. In order to find out where Madam Jiang is, I spent one point to get the information! ]

[Now that I think about it, it’s all worth it to be praised by His Highness! ]

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she burst into laughter, but she pretended to be modest on her face: "It was just a fluke."

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoxiao stared at the letter on the table and said, "Since Madam Jiang said she would help you, you should first read the letter sent by Madam Jiang to see if there is any good news in it."

"Madam is right."

Xie Xi picked up the letter on the table, opened it gently, and took the letter out.

Three whole sheets of paper, all filled up.

The handwriting is beautiful, and it can be seen that Mrs. Jiang has put a lot of effort into her calligraphy.

Xie Xi read the letter quickly and wrote down the contents before handing the letter to Meng Huaijun who was sitting opposite him.

Meng Huaijun quickly took it and lowered his head to read it carefully.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the letter eagerly: "..."

[I'm curious about what's written in the letter. Why didn't Your Highness give it to me to take a look? ]

Noticing Lu Xiaoxiao's curious look, Xie Xi pursed his lips, a faint smile spread across his eyes, and then he continued: "On the night when Madam Jiang arrived in Jiangning and returned to the Jiang Mansion, she took advantage of the fact that the Jiangning Governor was not at home, deliberately sent away the guards in the front yard, and sent someone to sneak into the Jiangning Governor's study..."

[Mrs. Jiang is really capable. When she was asked to go back to the Jiang Mansion to collect evidence, she really went all out! She would not waste even a single day!]

Lu Xiaoxiao's attention was instantly caught by Xie Xi, and she subconsciously asked, "And then? Did you find anything?"

"Ah."

Xie Xi responded in a low voice, as if relieved, and said with a smile: "Madam is smart, and she has indeed discovered something."

Lu Xiaoxiao waited for his answer.

Thinking of that discovery, Xie Xi frowned, and his usually gentle tone was chilled: "In the study of the Jiangning governor, there is a secret room made entirely of gold. Moreover, there are hundreds of boxes of silver in the secret room, and each box has a seal."

"Seal?"

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim.

[Wow, not only is there a golden house, but there are also so many boxes of silver. Where did the Jiangning governor rob this? I'm afraid the Jiangning governor has more silver than the national treasury! ]

Xie Xi also thought so.

Last year, my father donated 300,000 taels of silver for disaster relief. Now the national treasury is empty, and it is nothing compared to the golden house of the Jiangning Governor.

Thinking of this, Xie Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Mrs. Jiang said in the letter that she suspected that the hundreds of boxes of silver were from unknown sources, but she couldn't find any evidence for the time being. In two days, she will try to get more information from the governor of Jiangning."

However, Xie Xi believed that Mrs. Jiang's method would not work.

"Also, Madam Jiang's people found a floor tile in the study that was different from the others. That person was curious and couldn't help but pick up the floor tile. As a result -"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang's people were so capable, and she suddenly became a little excited: "What happened in the end?"

Xie Xi suddenly smiled: "As a result, we found the correspondence between the Governor of Jiangning and the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Shi Wei'an."

Lu Xiaoxiao:!!!

"Mrs. Jiang, this is really great!"

This is really good news. Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly didn’t know what to say.

[Mrs. Jiang is really useful! I really tried every possible way to talk to her!]

[In fact, even without my help, with Young Master Huaijun here, Your Highness will definitely be able to get help from Madam Jiang, it just takes a few more days.]

As soon as Meng Huaijun finished reading the letter, he heard Lu Fengyi mentioning him in his heart. He didn't dare to be arrogant. If it weren't for Lu Fengyi, Mrs. Jiang would not have agreed so quickly just based on his life-saving grace.

Meng Huaijun: "Sir, I am able to do this thanks to the help of my wife."

"Actually, I..." didn't do anything, right?

Before Lu Xiaoxiao finished her words, Xie Xi interrupted her with a look of agreement: "Master Huaijun is right."

"After Madam Jiang's people found the letters, they secretly took them back and gave them to Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang has already sent someone else to deliver the letters to Suzhou. We are waiting there."

Lu Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Then why did Madam Jiang's letter arrive first, but the letters from Governor Jiangning and Shi Weian haven't been delivered yet?"

Meng Huaijun explained: "Madam Jiang was afraid that the messenger might not be careful enough and that something unexpected might happen, so she sent someone else to come via the official road and follow the caravan all the way, so as not to attract other people's attention."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded. "That makes sense. Let's wait a little longer."

"Husband, did Madam Jiang say anything else in the letter?"

Xie Xi pursed his lips and did not answer for a moment.

In fact, on the third piece of paper, Mrs. Jiang had another request, but Xie Xi did not say it.

Now that Lu Xiaoxiao asked, Xie Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Madam, Madam Jiang has another thing to ask you."

"ask me?"

Lu Xiaoxiao pointed at herself in surprise and asked in a puzzled tone: "Did my husband read the letter wrongly?"

[I haven't said anything to Madam Jiang. Could it be that you want to ask me about her poisoning? ]

"Never."

Xie Xi shook his head and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with complicated eyes, "Madam Jiang said that her wet nurse found out something in the past, saying that her son was replaced by the governor of Jiangning."

"Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown. Madam Jiang wants to spend all her family wealth to find her son. This time I wrote to you to ask if this method can help her find her son."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “???”
