The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

"Hey hey hey."

Mao Qiteng smiled and said, "Silly boy, this is not a difficult matter. Yi Jingxiao was captured by us, but no one from our Mao family showed up. He knows who captured him.

Now is the time when we need him to contribute to our Mao family, so we should release him."

"Dad, he must know that we imprisoned him. Will he listen to us?"

"It doesn't matter whether he listens or not, I will personally lead people to 'rescue' him and provide him with good food and wine.

Then, you take people to send him to the capital, back to Prince An's Mansion.

Just tell Prince An that he offended someone and was locked up. We finally got the news and it took us a lot of effort to rescue him.

We don't ask Prince An to be grateful to us. As long as he doesn't hate us and doesn't pursue the matter of your wife, even if we win, you will still be his son-in-law.

For your future and his daughter's happiness, he must help me get promoted."

"Okay, let's do this. Dad, when are you going to 'rescue' Yi Jingxiao?"

Mao Qiteng thought for a while:

"Don't worry, we must find the right time, maybe there will be unexpected results.

Yanchen, during this period of time, you must give orders to keep a good look out for him and make sure nothing goes wrong. Our family's wealth and success depends on him.

Also, stop sending him leftovers and make him something delicious.

You are too skinny, Prince An will be distressed."

"I see, Dad. I'll go check it out right away."

"Go."

Mao Yanchen left, and Xiu Luoran quietly got down from the roof. She wanted to follow Mao Yanchen to see where Yi Jingxiao was imprisoned.

After turning around, Mao Yanchen came to a corner of the garden. He coughed lightly, and Xiu Luoran saw two people running from behind the rockery.

"What do you want, Master?"

"Is everyone inside okay?"

"Still like that."

"Starting tomorrow, send him better meals. Also, increase the manpower. Don't let him get into any accidents."

"I understand, young master. It has been several years now, and we have experience."

"We can't be careless then."

"Yes."

Mao Yanchen left, and the two chatted as they walked back:

"Who do you think we are holding captive?"

"He must be someone important. I still remember when he was first locked up, he was dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, and he looked very elegant."

"He used to be so handsome, but now he is as skinny as a stick. He may be still alive, but if he falls on the road, anyone who sees him will think he is dead."

"pitiful."

"Do your job well. There are so many pitiful people in the world."

The two came to a small house next to the rockery:

"Just watch for a while, I'm going to sleep first, and I'll take over from you later.

Don't sneak out to gamble, or the housekeeper will notice you're gone, watch out for your butt."

"know."

Xiu Luoran left the Mao family and returned to the inn.

She asked the innkeeper to bring some hot water so that she could wash up.

After calling for a long time but no one came, she became a little angry.

She stood at the door of the room and shouted:

"Dude!"

The noise was so loud that people in nearby rooms opened their doors and came out to see what was going on.

A fellow came running over:

"Objective, what do you want?"

"I want some hot water, but no one responded to me after shouting for a long time. In an inn as big as yours, shouldn't every room have hot water?"

The guy nodded and bowed repeatedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm really a bit busy. I'll get you some hot water right away."

"hurry up."

"well."

Seeing that the waiter had a good attitude, Xiu Luoran didn't say anything else.

Soon, the guy came in with a kettle.

Seeing the waiter pour half a basin of hot water and considerately test the water temperature, Xiu Luoran felt better:

"Hey man, it's almost midnight, there shouldn't be many customers at this time, right?

What are you doing? Your attitude will drive away customers."

"Sir, to be honest, a big shot has come to our inn, and many of the inn's servants have been sent to serve him.

I was there too, and just as I came back from delivering the fruit plate, I heard you, sir, calling for help. "

Xiu Luoran was shocked: "Do you know who this important person is?"

The clerk looked around and whispered:

"I heard from the shopkeeper that it seems that Governor Mao's immediate superior, the governors of three provinces, has arrived."

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Don't listen to your shopkeeper's lies. The governor must stay at the official post when he comes. Otherwise, he will stay at the governor's house. Why would he stay at your inn?"

The guy lowered his voice a little more:

"Sir, I am not lying to you. This Governor is here on a private visit.

Sir, do you have any other instructions? If not, I have to get busy too. "

"Go ahead."

Xiu Luoran sat down slowly. She was just worrying about who to look for, and then this person came to her door. It was really God’s help for her.

She remembered her grandfather saying that Lei Hanting, the governor-general of three provinces, who governed Ningyang, Shihe and Taoyuan, was the emperor's man and extremely loyal.

Before she left, her elder brother Xiu Lingce told her:

"If you go to your second uncle's place and encounter any problems that he can't solve, you can go to the Governor-General of Three Provinces, Lei Hanting.

This man is extremely smart, don't be fooled by his appearance. Remember this: don't try to be clever in front of him, remember that."

Thinking of this, Xiu Luoran smiled.

She simply washed up and went to find Lei Hanting.

The Governor of Three Provinces was an official higher than the current governor. He was surrounded by attendants wherever he went and it was not easy to see him.

It doesn’t matter. If normal channels are not easy to find, we can’t take some crooked ways.

When Lei Hanting looked at Xiu Luoran climbing in through the window, even he, who was as calm as a mountain, was surprised.

Lei Hanting's personal bodyguard Lei Jiu wanted to go forward to capture Xiu Luoran, but was stopped by Lei Hanting.

This boy, no, this girl was able to find the room where he lived and even crawl in, which shows that she has some skills.

You have to know that this is the second floor of the inn. There is no balcony or terrace outside, just bare walls.

Xiu Luoran pulled a chair and sat down in a familiar manner.

At this time, a man came in from outside, apparently having something to report.

Seeing that there was someone else in the room, he shut up in time.

Xiu Luoran said straight to the point:

"Governor, I know you are very busy, so I will make this short."

Just with these few words, Lei Hanting had a good impression of Xiu Luoran. Not bad, he was not a fussy person.

Xiu Luoran glanced at the person who just came in, Lei Hanting:

"Just say it."

“My name is Xiu Luoran, and I’m the youngest daughter of Zhenxi Marquis Xiu Yuancang.

I was entrusted by my maternal grandfather Zhang Yuetang to go to Shihe Province to deliver a letter to my second uncle Zhang Xuwei.

I passed by here and came to see her elder sister, Princess Yi Keting, on behalf of my sister-in-law Yi Kezhen."

Lei Hanting heard this and interjected:

"Yi Kezhen married your elder brother Xiu Lingce?"

"Yes, we were married not long ago."

"continue."

“Yes. I haven’t met Yi Keting yet, but I discovered something.

My sister-in-law Yi Kezhen's elder brother, Prince An's son Yi Jingxiao, has been imprisoned at home by Yi Keting's father-in-law, Governor Mao, for several years. "

"what?"

When Lei Hanting heard this, he stood up suddenly and knocked over the chair.
