Cao Yilan looked at the expression on his face and raised her chin.

"Hey, could it be that your little green plum came to the house?"

Cai Qi's heart moved.

In the past, Cao Yilan often had quarrels with him over Lady Shaoyue's affairs. When she got angry, the sour smell could be smelled from ten alleys away, and she would yell and make trouble. Now looking at her indifferent expression, Cai Qi

I actually miss the mean and unreasonable Miss Cao from before.

Otherwise, how can we say that everyone is cheap?

Cai Qi hummed, "If you don't want to, I won't go to see her and I'll just send her away."

Cao Yilan chuckled, slowly raised her eyelids, and rolled her eyes at him.

"I said, why are you wasting your time? Madam Shaoyue finally came here. It's just to give you face. Why don't you go quickly?"

Cai Qi's eyes were red, "You really don't care?"

Cao Yilan answered him with another laughing hum.

"Okay. Then I won't make you feel disgusted again." Before Cai Qi finished his voice, he turned around and strode away. Geng Mao was stunned for a moment, then followed immediately.

When the two girls Pei'er and Huan'er saw this, they both became anxious for Cao Yilan.

"lady……"

"Madam!"

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will really push the young prince into the arms of that little vixen..."

Cao Yilan frowned and her eyes fell on the black-feathered starling.

"Madam Jin'an! Madam Jin'an!"

"Hail, madam, hail madam!"

Bage flapped his wings, and when Cai Qi couldn't see him, he honestly said the auspicious words taught by Cai Qi.

Cao Yilan felt a little weak for no reason, wondering if she had gone too far.

"Pei'er." She hooked her hand, "Get a pen and paper. I'll write a letter to Mr. Bai and ask her."

··

Xin Yi was sitting in the post house.

The black and white sides on the chessboard are fighting inextricably.

Outside the window, the blazing sunshine disappeared without knowing when, and the weather was gloomy and sultry like a big steamer. Xingyuan and Taoyu held cattail fans in their hands, fanning Xinyi from left to right, but they could not take away any of the heat.

Is it going to rain?

"Prince, my subordinates have something to report."

Cheng Cang's voice came from outside the hall, rich and powerful.

Fu Jiuqu didn't even raise his head, and a sunspot fell gently.

"Come in."

Cheng Cang responded and stepped in with his sword on his waist. His eyes paused briefly on Gao Minglou and then lowered his head.

"A police officer has come to deliver new news. Please ask the prince to return to the Imperial City Department as soon as possible."

Fu Jiuqu said oh and nodded, "Wait until I finish this round."

Cheng Cang's face looked a little anxious, but he didn't say much and stood aside watching the chess without saying a word.

Gao Minglou's movements slowed down, and he held a white stone between his fingers for a long time. "If the prince has something important to do, he can go and do it. As for chess, there is no delay in playing chess at any time."

Fu Jiuqu said calmly: "It's not a big deal."

Gao Minglou looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

The atmosphere became duller, and except for the crisp sound of falling stones, there was no sound at all.

Gao Minglou obviously deliberately slowed down the pace of the chess game, but Fu Jiuqu remained calm and patiently finished the game before saying goodbye and leaving.

Before leaving, he said to Xin Yi: "It is inconvenient for the Imperial City Secretary to take care of the child, so San Nian will leave you here first."

Xin Yi smiled and nodded, saying goodbye to him in a warm voice.

It wasn't until Fu Jiuqu left that Gaominglou called Dali's scouts and went under the eaves to ask.

"Someone from the Imperial City Department suddenly came and called Fu Jiuqu away. What was the reason? Is there any news about it?"

The scout hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, my subordinates have heard that the Imperial City Division bought a lot of information from the spy named Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng. Cheng Cang came to report just now, just for this matter... As far as I know,

The Imperial City Department is buying information and investigating at the same time, but there are no clues at all."

"Ha!" Gao Minglou sneered, "Fu Jiuqu has capsized in the gutter this time."

He looked back at Xin Yi, who was talking to Sannian in the hall, and lowered his voice.

"Our ships and strongholds in Bianhe River are probably part of the news that Bai Xiaosheng sold them to the Imperial City Division."

Gao Minglou thought for a while and showed some doubts.

"However, the Imperial City Division relies on spies to make a living, so he allows others to pick up his bowl, eat his food, and even smash his pot?"

The scout said: "According to my subordinates, the Imperial City Department is also helpless. That Bai Xiaosheng has some real abilities..."

"oh?"

"In the Bianjing tabloids in the past few days, apart from the marriage of the county prince, the most talked about thing is the birth of this Jianghu Baixiao. I heard that she has the power of prediction like a god and has helped many people solve their problems. And she does things with money.

His tight-lipped nature is legendary.”

"Then have you found out who Bai Xiaosheng is?"

The scout shook his head.

"As far as my subordinates know, in addition to the Imperial City Division and us, several groups of people are looking into her origins. Especially those important ministers of the Song Dynasty. They don't say it with their mouths, but they are very scared in private. This Bai Xiaosheng seems to know everything.

, they are very afraid that their family background will be discovered..."

"Haha." Gao Minglou became cheerful.

"Then let them investigate and let them fight. We can just sit back and watch and reap the benefits."

"yes."

"Go on, tell me. You have been keeping your tail between your legs lately. Be cautious and don't let the Imperial City Secretary get a hold of you."

"My subordinate understands."

Gao Minglou waved his hand, motioning for the scout to go down, and then turned back to the hall.

Xin Yi was leading San Nian back to the house. When he saw this, he smiled and asked, "What makes brother so happy? I can hear your laughter from all the way."

Gao Minglou pursed his lips and looked out the dimly lit window, "I just heard someone tell a joke about Jianghu Baixiaosheng. By the way, has Aima ever heard of this person?"

Xin Yi calmly shook his head.

"Sounds like a storyteller. Isn't he funny? He made my brother laugh."

"It's a bit interesting." Gao Minglou said, taking a look at San Nian, who was leaning against Xin Yi and looking at him defensively, and said calmly:

"You haven't been to the pharmacy for a few days, right?"

Xin Yi hummed, "Didn't my brother tell me not to walk around casually?"

Gao Minglou cleared his throat, "The post house is quiet, and even children can't bear to be lonely. You can take her to play in the medicine shop."

Over at the medicine shop, there are all kinds of games that Xin Yi prepared for his three children, including wooden children's slides. They are indeed more interesting than those in the post house.

Sannian's eyes lit up, and he took Xinyi's hand. He didn't say anything, but made it clear that he wanted to leave here and go to the medicine shop.

Xin Yi pinched her and said awkwardly: "Well, okay...I will do whatever my brother says."

··

On the donkey cart going to the medicine shop, San Nian was silent for a long time before he cautiously asked Xin Yi.

"Is that brother of yours fierce?"

Xin Yi opened the tent window, looked at the rainy sky, smiled and shook his head: "It's not fierce."

Sannian felt that the way she looked at the sky was a bit weird, not like a blind person.

"Then why did you..."

On the third thought, she wanted to say that Xin Yi shouldn't be so in awe of Gao Minglou, but then she thought about it and thought that it was her brother, and felt that she was a bit ignorant for saying so.

Today's Sannian is no longer what she was when she was a child. She stopped her words.

"I don't like you being so nice to him."

Xin Yi looked back with a smile, "Why?"

San Nian's little head drooped, revealing a hint of loneliness and sadness that shouldn't belong to a child.

"I like that you are good to Uncle Fu, and you are good to me and my eldest brother and my second brother."

Xin Yi looked at her childish look and reached out to touch her little face.

"Okay. San Nian is my favorite."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and became happy again.

Xin Yi looked at the street and took a long time to look back.

The man riding towards Jinzhuang Wazi seems to be Fu Jiuqu?

Oh, I really can’t believe the lies of men.

It was said that there was an urgent report from the Imperial City Division asking him to go back, so it turned out that he was out fooling around?
