Liu Yueru frowned slightly and opened her red lips: "Was Hua'er born in Yuhua Lane where Aunt Zhao used to live? Why weren't they born in Liu Mansion?"

"Have you found out anything about Liu Yunni in Yuhua Lane?"

Mother Yan shook her head in surprise. "I asked someone to go to Yuhua Lane to investigate. When the Second Miss lived there before, no one ever saw her go out, let alone know that she was pregnant or had a child. Even the young master was brought back to the mansion secretly at night."

"And I heard that when the Second Miss was in Yuhua Lane, Prince Jin never went there once. There were only two maids taking care of the Second Miss. Later, I sent someone to inquire about those two maids, and I heard that they had retired and returned home."

"Go and find out the hometowns of those two women. I want to know clearly where Liu Yunni's child came from, and whether it is related to my child!" Liu Yueru stopped talking halfway.

Zhao Wanyan is a power-hungry woman. If she didn't want to cover up deliberately, she wouldn't have pushed herself to the top of the wave.

If you want to know what happened to Liu Yunni in Yuhua Lane, you must find the two old women who took care of her daily life.

Madam Yan's face was solemn. "Madam, I have already sent people to look for them. However, the old woman was found by Aunt Zhao, and they were looking for her secretly. I am afraid it will take some time to find out where they are."

"As soon as possible." Liu Yueru urged.

This day.

Song Nanzhi finally waited for the day to take charge of the duty of the deputy commander.

He put on the brocade clothes that he usually didn't want to wear, and went out in a good mood early in the morning.

The original deputy commander in charge, Song Shiling, was a good official who was honest and upright. He handled everything properly, treated his colleagues with humility, and often solved problems for the people.

Now he has been promoted to the fourth rank official position.

As soon as Song Nanzhi arrived at the place, he ran into his archenemy Chen Junting.

The smile on his face faded instantly, and then he thought of something. He straightened his body and put on a superior attitude in front of Chen Junting.

Song Nanzhi tidied up in front of Chen Junting, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to do here?"

Chen Junting had a cold expression on his face and glanced at him as if he was an idiot. He ignored Song Nanzhi and walked straight past him and inside.

Song Nanzhi felt embarrassed and chased after Chen Junting: "Brother Chen, this is where I will be on duty from now on. If you have any problems, you can come to me."

The corner of Chen Junting's mouth twitched slightly.

Isn't this obvious?

He is also here to run for election!

"Brother Song, aren't you saying some of your words too early?" Chen Junting finally couldn't help but open his mouth to refute.

Song Nanzhi was slightly stunned, not understanding what the other party meant.

This was a job that Yueru's second brother had arranged for her, so it was almost certain that she was just here to go through the motions.

According to past experience, the position of deputy commander will definitely fall on his head in the end.

"I'm here today to take charge of the deputy commander. Brother Chen, why are you running here instead of going to do your work?" Song Nanzhi frowned slightly, with a hint of pride in his displeasure.

Chen Juncai laughed softly: "It seems that Brother Song is not very clear about the election process for the position of deputy commander."

"What do you mean?" Song Nanzhi was not clear. He only heard his grandmother say that she would come here to try out for a few days. If she could handle these things properly, he could officially take over all affairs of this department.

"Everyone knows how you, a low-ranking official with no experience, ended up in this position." Chen Juncai said bluntly.

“It’s just a fifth-rank official position in charge of the assistant commander. It can be said to be big, but it’s not small either. These seemingly simple matters actually hide great wisdom. Although you have obtained this opportunity to get started, if you don’t even have the basic ability, how can you sit firmly in this position?” Chen Juncai has been a colleague with Song Nanzhi for several years, so he naturally knows what he is capable of.

Chen Juncai was different from him. He was originally a fifth-rank official, but was demoted because of someone else's involvement. This time, he was specially arranged to run for the position of deputy commander.

He glanced at Song Nanzhi's confident face with amusement, and didn't say the rest.

Instead, he walked inside with big strides with a mocking smile on his face.

Song Nanzhi was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to react. He growled at Chen Juncai's disappearing back: "What do you mean? Gold shines wherever it goes. Let's wait and see!"

When he arrived at the inner hall, Song Nanzhi discovered that there was a lobby in the middle, and inner rooms for handling affairs were arranged on the left and right sides. He immediately saw Chen Juncai sitting in the inner room on the left, who was staring at the documents on the desk with his eyes lowered and a frown on his face.

Song Nanzhi was about to walk towards the inner room on the left with a look of doubt and displeasure.

The servant Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "During the period of the assessment, the two masters are not allowed to step into each other's inner rooms. Please don't embarrass me, Master Song."

"What?" Song Nanzhi couldn't believe his ears.

Wouldn't the words I just said to Chen Juncai at the door become a joke in the eyes of others?

Why didn't anyone tell him in advance that this position required two people to be assessed together?

As it happens, this person is his most hated enemy, Chen Juncai.

Song Nanzhi's face turned pale, and his heart felt as if struck by lightning.

Although he didn't like Chen Juncai, he still had some appreciation for his abilities.

Chen Juncai looked up and met Song Nanzhi's eyes, which were as cold as ice. A triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"Why didn't anyone tell me about this at the beginning?" Song Nanzhi's face immediately darkened and he scolded Zhiyuan, the servant beside him.

Zhiyuan had been following Song Shiling and was also one of the people who participated in the evaluation this time.

With the comparison of previous people, Song Nanzhi's behavior made Zhiyuan frown slightly.

But Zhiyuan still patiently explained: "To answer your question, there are a total of six candidates. The original plan was that each of the six would be on duty for two days to handle daily affairs and finally choose the best one. However, considering that this position cannot be vacant for a long time, in order to shorten the time limit, this bad idea was adopted."

When Song Nanzhi heard this, his face instantly darkened.

He found it difficult to deal with Chen Juncai alone, let alone the remaining few people he had never met before.

"Sir Song, the inner room on the right is where you review official documents." Zhiyuan's voice sounded appropriately.

Song Nanzhi followed Zhiyuan into the inner room on the right in a daze.

Looking at the pile of documents on it concerning land, military registration, household registration, and litigation, it was even more of a headache.

There is simply no way to start.

Song Nanzhi scratched his head, and when he looked up, he saw Zhiyuan staring at the documents in his hands with a frown.

I felt even more annoyed: "Can you please not stay here and watch over me?"

When incompetent!

It feels so bad to be watched!

Zhi Yuan had a blank expression on his face and refused without mercy: "For the fairness of the assessment, I will go wherever you are, and I will not leave your side at all!"

Song Nanzhi gritted his teeth: "You..."
