Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

As expected, the Mu family was indeed wealthy and powerful. The size and scenery of their mansion could be considered the best even in the imperial city. She must not let them down by coming here in the middle of the night.

After receiving the signal that the princess and the reconnaissance team had landed safely, Lu Yang, the deputy captain of the carpentry and ironmaking team, led other members to open the temperature-regulating balloon device on the glider and rise into the sky, circling in the sky along the periphery of the Mu Mansion.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyue and the reconnaissance team landed in a remote courtyard at the Mu Mansion. After observing that there was no one around and that the guards were weak, they were led by Liu'er, the deputy captain of the reconnaissance team. The group crouched, glanced around vigilantly, and carefully walked through the corridor, bypassing the imposing screen wall and the winding path.

The flowers and plants on both sides were dim in the darkness, and they were trembling in the darkness, as if they were afraid of the danger brought by the group of men in black.

There were many guards hiding in the dark along the way. All those who could be bypassed were bypassed, and those who could not be bypassed were knocked unconscious with a sleeve needle dipped in sleeping pills, and then dragged and hidden in an inconspicuous corner.

Wherever he passed, most people had fallen asleep, only the cheating housekeeper and concubine were still making love in the dark house.

When Lin Xiaoyue and the investigation team passed by, they heard the sound of a fierce fight in the house. They didn't want to stay any longer, but the people's mutterings after the battle aroused her curiosity.

The investigation team urged them by gesticulating and mouthing: Not here, the destination is a few more courtyards away.

The key point is that the princess is already a grown-up girl. It would be bad if she was led astray by these dirty things.

Lin Xiaoyue pointed in the direction of the house and put her ear close to the wall: Be quiet and listen together, be good.

Investigation Team: ...

"You bastard, be gentle. If you leave marks and the master finds out, we won't be able to hide our affair anymore."

"What are you afraid of? The secret of the master's incompetence is known to all the ladies and concubines in this mansion. He only got a daughter after all these years, but lost her as soon as he went out. It is destined that his huge fortune will have no successor, so it is better for our child to have it." The housekeeper, who was lying on the concubine, had a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Oh, I told you to be gentler, but you're still so heavy." The aunt, who was amused, kept moaning and cooperating.

"Be good, we have to work hard. Just for the sake of the huge family fortune, we have to work hard to live a prosperous and wealthy life in the second half of our lives."

"..."

Reconnaissance Team: ..., Princess, this wall...we'd better not listen to it.

Lin Xiaoyue: No, wait a little longer, wait a little longer.

Reconnaissance Team: ...

It's so urgent, is there any brother who can extinguish the princess's damn curiosity first? !

Listening to the intermittent dirty talk, the brothers in the reconnaissance team were so nervous that their faces turned red like tomatoes, and several of them expressed that they were not interested in the matter.

It would be fine if it were just a few grown men listening to these nonsense, but there is a princess among them. What's going on? Is this going to embarrass them to death?

Fortunately, after a moment of awkwardness, the war inside stopped for a while and everyone started chatting.

"You bastard, why hasn't the eldest lady come back yet after being out for such a long time? Could something have really happened to her?" After finishing, the aunt nestled in the butler's chest with a flushed face, murmuring timidly and tenderly.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't heard of the eldest lady for too long, the housekeeper was stunned for a moment before he remembered, "Tsk, who knows? Anyway, when the horse ran back by itself, there was a lot of blood on it, who can tell?"

"But... Miss has seven skilled guards by her side. If something happens, those guards will have to protect her."

"Who can tell for sure when you're away from home? After all, she's been away for more than a year. If nothing happened, she should have sent a message back home. But there was no news, so the masters and ladies all guessed that something had happened to the young lady."

"It's good that something happened. There was only one young mistress in the mansion before. The young lady appeared to be kind and gentle, but her methods were much more cruel than those of the mistress and several concubines. Now that the young lady is missing, the mistress is depressed all day long and has no intention of controlling us, which makes us little ones feel a lot more relaxed."

Whenever the concubine thought about how she had just entered the family and how the master doted on her for a while because of a brief period of novelty, and then the young lady slapped her in public and made her lose face in front of the lady and the other concubines, her anger would surge up in her heart.

"Of course not. That's why we have to work harder and try to give birth to an heir for the master as soon as possible. Only in this way can we live up to the fact that God sent someone to take in that young lady who likes to make a name for herself outside all day long."

Having said that, the butler kissed her without any hesitation, put one hand around my aunt's waist, and with the other hand he touched her plump chest and rubbed it.

The concubine leaning on the butler's arms panted and chuckled, "To gain fame... Haha, what you said is really apt. Think about the famine last year. The young lady took her guards to run around all day, spreading her good name everywhere, hoping that she would be favored by the young master of the governor's mansion after gaining fame. Who knew that the good deeds the young lady did were actually the fat peeled off from others to beautify her own reputation."

"That's right. He took the money and food from others, but earned the reputation himself. His scheming and tactics were taught by the master himself. It's really accurate."

"It's a pity. No matter how proud you are, in the end, everything is in vain. ... I think the young lady disappeared without a trace. It's probably revenge from those people she cheated before. What do you think?"

"My goodness, you are really smart. The master thought the same thing. He asked me to send people to check all the families that the young lady had cheated before. All those who were suspicious were eliminated. ... But I always feel that it was not those people who did it."

"… Never mind, no matter who did it, I am actually very grateful to the person who did it."

Lin Xiaoyue listened to the gossip in the room and felt that they were talking about the Holy Mother White Lotus whom she met on the road to escape from the famine? ? [See Chapter 147 for details]

He was a good man, had guards, was hypocritical, and ran back to his horse...

This all matches up..., it can't be such a coincidence, are we enemies meeting on a narrow road? !

When Lin Xiaoyue was slacking off, the members of the reconnaissance team, who had no idea what the princess meant by these nonsense, were so anxious that smoke was coming out of their heads. They kept making gestures and squinting their eyes at Lin Xiaoyue, urging her to hurry up.

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just nodded and prepared to leave with them.

What does it matter whether it is yes or no?

Killing the Virgin Mary first in the last days was nothing more than killing a Virgin Mary white lotus who wanted to use her as a stepping stone. She didn't think she should feel guilty about it.

Just when Lin Xiaoyue and the others didn't want to listen any more and stood up to leave, the following conversation in the room made everyone stop.

"By the way, now there are rumors that Princess Le'an's family members were detained by the military settlement. Do you think the master will still think of carrying them into the mansion?"
