After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

"You have to think about me too! You can't let me get beheaded right after I avenge you, right? I have to think of a foolproof plan before I take action against Lei Batian!"

Xu Yingying explained earnestly to the female ghosts.

When the female ghost heard this, she instantly understood Xu Yingying's difficulties.

They are not unreasonable people.

So they all gave in and compromised: "Okay! I hope you don't forget what you promised us, sir."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this. I will definitely not forget it."

After receiving Xu Yingying's repeated assurances, the female ghosts reluctantly left Xu Yingying's room. After sending these female ghosts away, Xu Yingying immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Exhausted and unable to open her eyes, she lay down on the bed without hesitation and fell asleep.

the next day.

Li Siqi and Xu Yingying, who were enjoying breakfast, suddenly received some very bad news.

"Your Highness, Lord Xu, something bad has happened."

Xu Ruohao ran in with a panicked look on his face.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Li Siqi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Xu Yingying also looked at Xu Ruohao curiously, "What happened?"

"Reporting to Your Highness and Lord Xu, the Crown Prince... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also come to the county." Xu Ruohao said to the two helplessly.

"Ah? What is he here for?" Xu Yingying opened her mouth in surprise.

"I don't know. This hasn't been investigated yet." Xu Ruohao shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, he's here for no good reason." Li Siqi shrugged.

Xu Yingying didn't say anything. What Li Siqi said was indeed quite reasonable.

After breakfast, before Xu Yingying and Li Siqi could take a break, an unexpected visitor broke their peace.

"Oh, my ninth brother and Lord Xu are here!" Li Siming said as he walked into the inn, with a proud look on his face.

"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."

"I am here to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Even if Li Siqi and Xu Yingying have great resentment towards Li Siqi in their hearts, they still have to observe proper etiquette, otherwise it would be bad if they were taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

"Everyone get up!" Li Siming waved his hand.

"Why did your royal brother come to the county today?" Li Siqi asked curiously.

Li Siming sat leisurely on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea. He answered nonchalantly, "This prince came here to inspect the lives of the people and understand their sentiments."

Li Siming said this, but he actually heard that Li Siqi and Xu Yingying were not living well here, so he couldn't wait to come and see the fun.

And this information was secretly passed to him by Lei Qinyu.

Li Siming came to the room upstairs where Xu Yingying and Li Siqi lived under the pretext of strolling around.

As soon as he entered Li Siqi's room, Li Siming immediately exclaimed.

"Ah! Why is there so much dust on this table?"

“Why does this house stink so much?”

"How come it's so old and so crudely made in this life?"

……

Li Siming covered his nose and looked very disgusted.

After saying that, he pretended to be considerate and asked the servants beside him to help Li Siqi and Xu Yingying "clean up".

"Hurry, hurry, clean up for my brother." Li Siming ordered his men.

After saying that, a group of servants rushed in, saying they were cleaning for Li Siming, but in fact they made a mess of the house they lived in.

The vase that was originally on the table was smashed to the ground, the stool was kicked over, and the bedding on the bed was torn into pieces under the pretext of changing the duvet cover.

Li Siqi was overwhelmed by this scene. He just watched Li Siming's men tinkering in the room where he lived with an expressionless face.

After all, he had prepared himself mentally from the beginning, knowing that Li Siming would definitely not do anything here.

But Li Siming, who did not appreciate Li Siqi's ugly expression, immediately felt unhappy. He did all this just to anger Li Siqi, but Li Siqi acted as if nothing had happened.

Li Siming, who had not achieved his goal, naturally refused to give up. He could not humiliate Li Siqi openly, so he shifted his attention to Xu Yingying who was standing beside him.

"Master Xu, you are so brave. Father asked you to accompany and assist my ninth brother. Is this how you assist him? Look at the living environment of my ninth brother. His quality of life has declined to this extent. Do you admit your guilt?"

Li Siming questioned Li Siqi without hesitation.

After saying this, Li Siming wanted to take the opportunity to punish Xu Yingying, but Xu Yingying would never give him the chance to find fault with her.

"What are you talking about, Your Highness? The Emperor ordered me and the Ninth Prince to come here to sympathize with the people and solve their livelihood problems. How dare I take the Ninth Prince to live in a good place?"

"If the emperor knew that you are so greedy for comfort, extravagant and wasteful, and don't make progress, he would definitely be unhappy. It also goes against the original intention of the emperor to send me and others out. Don't you think so? Your Highness, I believe that your Highness will not stay in a very good inn when he comes to inspect the people's conditions this time. Otherwise, how can you set an example for the ministers?"

Every word Xu Yingying spoke was well-reasoned and Li Siming was speechless for a moment.

"You!" Li Siming pointed at Xu Yingying's nose.

"What's wrong with you, your humble servant?" Xu Yingying said unwillingly.

"You, very good, Lord Xu is right. It's getting late today, and I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Seeing that he had not gained any benefit, Li Siming left first.

After all, there is a long time to come, and he doesn't believe that he won't see Li Siqi and Xu Yingying fall.

Seeing that his plan to laugh at others had failed, Li Siming didn't even bother to pretend and just moved into the Lei Mansion.

Because Li Siming suddenly dropped into the Lei Mansion, Lian Yi's actions were restricted everywhere, and Xu Yingying and Li Siming's plan to overthrow the Lei family was also blocked and made no progress.

Just when Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were racking their brains over what to do next, a man who had been lurking in the Li Mansion suddenly ran out from the Lei Mansion.

The moment Li Siqi saw Yitai, he was filled with surprise, "Yita? You, why are you back?"

"Your Highness, I have something important to report to you." Yitai said to Li Siqi hurriedly.

"Please get up quickly." Li Siqi quickly pulled Yitai up from the ground.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Lian Yi has already rebelled." Yitai reported to Li Siqi with a serious face.

"Ah? No way! Is there any misunderstanding?" Xu Yingying's eyes widened after hearing this.

"It is absolutely true. I saw her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter a room. Unspeakable noises were heard from inside. They were hugging each other in disheveled clothes."

"Your Highness, I saw all of this with my own eyes. I swear to heaven that if even a single word I said is false, I will die a miserable death."

Yitai said solemnly.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say.

"Okay, we got it. Thank you for passing such important news to me." Li Siqi said to Yitai very sincerely.
