In fact, through observations over this period of time, he found that Chen Liuliu was not as scary as people said outside, she was just a little rude.
Su Qing is more pitiful. It seems that he will never be able to find a wife. Although he brags every day about having slept with countless women, everyone knows that anyone who gets close to a woman will die.
As a brother, he wants to be a matchmaker for Su Qing.
Chen Liuliu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then said excitedly: "Brother Xiao Tuo, you are such a nice person. I've been waiting for you to say this."
Xiao Tuo patted her shoulder and said, "We are brothers, who is following whom?"
After Xiao Tuo finished speaking, he caught up with Murong Jie and asked, "How is it?"
The seemingly confusing question was only clear to the two of them.
Murong Jie said, "There are a total of 28 people who sent wine to me today. You should remember all of them later. They dared to give me gifts in front of Master Liang, which shows that they are still wavering."
"However, among these twenty-eight people, it is not ruled out that some of them deliberately want to get close to the prince. They may be ordered by Master Liang to get close to the prince." Xiao Tuo said.
“After writing it down, give me the list. I will screen them one by one. Anyone who has frequent contacts with Taifu Liang will be retained to stabilize their false trust first.” Murong Jie said.
Xiao Tuo nodded, "Okay, Master Taifu has also been trying his best to infiltrate the palace. It's been so many years, it's time to give him a chance."
Murong Jie had a cold expression on his face. "They have been patient for a long time. Now they have the help of Xia Huaijun and the Jin family. They feel that they are even more powerful and will definitely speed up their pace. Since the last ambush, they have cut off their spies lurking in the palace. They have been waiting for the next opportunity. I will give them this opportunity."
A cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he seemed like a completely different person compared to the drunken look he had just had when he was among the crowd.
He looked at Xiao Tuo and asked, "How is the investigation in Shitou Village going?"
Xiao Tuo said: "It has been investigated clearly. After the prince came back from injury, Xia Huaijun brought someone back from Madman Island and placed him in Stone Village."
"Is it him?" Murong Jie sneered.
"It was not Xia Huaijun himself who took the madman away, but a doctor from the Huimin Bureau. He diagnosed that the madman had recovered, so he was taken back and temporarily placed in Shitou Village. After investigation, it was found that the doctor had close contacts with Prime Minister Xia, and it was concluded that it was Xia Huaijun who gave the order."
"So, when he let the madman go that day, he wasn't doing it for Ximen Xiaoyue to see. He let him go on purpose."
"That's right, but we don't know their motives yet," Xiao Tuo said.
"Keep investigating!" Murong Jie ordered, "Order someone to monitor Xia Huaijun for twelve hours. I want to know exactly how many times he urinates at night."
Zi'an and Murong Zhuangzhuang walked to the lakeside. There were not many people walking there. Most of the families had gone to watch the show, so the young master naturally followed them.
Not long after the two of them left, the maidservant beside Concubine Cui came over to Murong Zhuangzhuang and said, "Grand Princess, the Concubine wants you to come over."
Murong Zhuangzhuang thought that Concubine Cui wanted to see her for something, so she said to Zi'an, "I'll go over there first and come back to see you."
Zi'an didn't care too much and said, "Okay, you go ahead, I'll go by myself."
She turned around and saw Xiaosun cleaning the courtyard. Thinking that there was a shortage of manpower today, Xia Quan transferred her over there.
Zi'an walked along the lake, thinking about what had just happened in the main hall.
The grudge between Ximen Xiaoyue and me has been established.
Ximen Xiaoyue is not as easy to deal with as Chen Linglong. Behind her is the family of Duke Jin. Duke Jin has declined a bit in recent years, but his connections and strength are still there.
It wasn't that she wanted to make things difficult for Ximen Xiaoyue, but the rules she followed when she entered the sect were not only too much, she wanted to snatch the position of the lady, and then she would not be able to keep her mother. Her mother couldn't divorce him, so the only way was to let her die in this prime minister's mansion.
Since the conflict is inevitable, she might as well express her position as soon as possible while there are so many people around today.
"Miss!"
Zi'an was deep in thought when a young man came up to him.
Zi'an looked at him. He was handsome, but he felt that he was a very unfamiliar person, someone he had never seen before.
"Who are you?" Zi'an asked.
"My name is Ximen Xiaoqing, Ximen Xiaoyue is my cousin." The young man replied.
"Oh, it's Master Ximen." Zi'an became alert, but responded to him calmly.
Ximen Xiaoqing looked at Zi'an with admiration, "I came here to see you off. I should have gone back after lunch, but since there was a theatre troupe and my mother loves to watch theatre, I stayed for a while."
"Yes!" Zi'an didn't want to get involved too much with the Jin family, so he said, "Then Mr. Ximen should accompany the second lady. I want to walk alone."
Ximen Xiaoqing stopped Zi'an, looking a little uneasy, "Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to harass you. It's just that I heard about you before, and I have always admired you... I want to get to know you."
Zi'an looked at him calmly, "My name is Xia Zi'an."
Ximen Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, "Huh
"Don't you want to get to know me? Let me tell you, my name is Xia Zian, and your name is Ximen Xiaoqing, right? Nice to meet you." Zian said coldly.
Hearing about her and admiring her is bullshit!
No man would still admire her after hearing about her story.
"Miss," Ximen Xiaoqing waved her hand, "I just want to talk to you. I have no ill intentions. Besides, our two families are relatives, and we will definitely have exchanges in the future."
Zi'an was tired of his pestering, and she thought that his pestering must have bad intentions, so she said coldly: "Master Ximen, since we will meet again in the future, we'd better not hate each other now."
After saying that, he turned and left coldly.
Who would have thought that Ximen Xiaoqing would catch up with her and block her way, "Miss, how did I offend you? Please explain clearly."
Zi'an frowned, "Master Ximen, today is a great day for your cousin and my father, I hope you don't make it too embarrassing."
Seeing Zi'an's cold face, Ximen Xiaoqing could not help but retort, "Do you think I like talking to you? You are so hypocritical, aren't you flirting with the Regent? The marriage hasn't even been arranged yet, but you are acting like the noble Regent's wife. It's disgusting to see you."
Zi'an didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he became more certain that Ximen Xiaoyue had no intention of letting him have a smooth transition on the day of his wedding.
She's going to cause trouble!
What was Ximen Xiaoqing's purpose in first numbing her with his so-called admiration and then speaking ill of her in an attempt to anger her
Zi'an continued walking forward, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Ximen Xiaoqing stopped him again and continued to provoke him, "Xia Zian, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you are about to become the regent princess. The decree has not yet come down, and there is still room for maneuver. Do you think Murong Jie is willing to marry into our Jin family or marry you, the unpopular eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion?"
Zian raised his hands, well, this is a bit intriguing.
The Jin family wants to marry the regent? Xia Huaijun is a member of the prince's party. The Jin family wants to marry Xia Huaijun, so it is natural for them to seek support from Liang Taifu. If they find a girl from the Ximen family to marry Murong Jie, what is going on
So, what this person said sounds like... bullshit!
