Early winter is approaching quickly, and even when the sun is out, there is still a biting chill in the air.

An Qingqian had nothing to do, so she sat by the window and read a book.

Bo Yun was adding silver charcoal to the brazier when Ying Yi walked in with a letter.

"Miss, the servant at the door brought a letter." Yingyi placed the letter in her hands on the table and called An Qingqian softly.

"Who sent it?" An Qingqian closed the book, picked up the letter and took a look at it.

There was no signature on the letter, so it was impossible to tell who sent it.

"Miss, it's Manager Zhang." Yingyi lowered her voice.

"He said that he had found out some of the things that the young lady had instructed him to do before, and he wrote them all down in the letter."

An Qingqian took out the letter, and the content of the letter was exactly as Manager Zhang said. He really found out something.

The letter said that since receiving An Qingqian's instructions, Manager Zhang sent several men to keep an eye on Prince Yong's Mansion.

A few days ago, the waiter discovered that the people from Prince Yong’s Mansion had invited a doctor to the mansion.

Originally, Manager Zhang did not take this matter to heart. After all, everyone has problems and needs to ask a doctor to treat the injury.

However, what surprised him was that the doctor who went to Prince Yong's Mansion was not famous, and could even be called ordinary.

Normally, the doctors invited by Prince Yong’s Mansion would be imperial doctors, but it is also possible that they were treating ordinary servants.

Manager Zhang has been immersed in the business world for many years, and if he feels something is wrong, he will definitely investigate.

As a result, after checking, it was discovered that the doctor's surname was Qi, and he was a very ordinary doctor in Renshan Hall.

Even half a year ago, he was just a little medicine boy, and almost no one was willing to ask him to go out and see patients.

Why would the people from Prince Yong’s Mansion invite him?

Manager Zhang felt that there might be something wrong, so he sent people to investigate the background of Doctor Qi. As a result, he found out that Doctor Qi came from the border three years ago.

It is said that he was an orphan who came here by begging and was adopted by the people of Renshan Hall. Later, they saw that he was interested in herbal medicine, so he became a medicine boy there.

Nothing was found out about Doctor Qi's background.

But a few days ago, a little maid in the Marquis's Mansion went to Renshan Hall and asked for Doctor Qi. Manager Zhang suspected that there was something wrong, so he asked An Qingqian to check it out in the mansion herself.

In addition to this incident, Manager Zhang also said in the letter that something was wrong with Manager Chen of the clothing shop during this period.

Manager Chen had secretly sold a batch of cloth seven days ago. The money and amount earned from the sale of the cloth were not recorded in the accounts, and few people knew about this.

It was all done by Manager Chen's confidants. His people just happened to see this incident and discovered it after tracking it.

Manager Zhang has already sent someone to investigate the matter in detail, and will reply immediately once there is a result.

"It seems that Manager Zhang is really going to work for us." An Qingqian handed the letter to Yingyi and Boyun, smiled gently, with a strange light in his eyes.

Manager Zhang really lived up to expectations. He was keenly aware that something was wrong with Doctor Qi's affairs.

Doctor Qi? Prince Yong’s Mansion?

That is to say, Liu Yiyi delivered the letter to Doctor Qi, and Doctor Qi took the letter to find Prince Yong.

But why does Liu Yiyi keep a low profile and remain silent when she has Prince Yong as her backer?

Could it be that Liu Yiyi didn't know that her father was connected to Prince Yong?

And what about Manager Chen?

Why did he secretly sell a batch of cloth for no reason? Was he trying to embezzle the money?

"Yingyi, go and investigate what Nanny Chen has been doing recently and whether she has any unusual behavior." No matter how brave Steward Chen is, he would not do such a thing.

An Qingqian suspected that this matter might be related to Nanny Chen.

"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away." Yingyi quickly read the contents of the letter and nodded solemnly.

Because of what happened last time, Manager Zhang joined An Qingqian and was willing to work for them.

However, Steward Chen did not do so. Compared with the relationship between Steward Zhang and Zhang, Steward Chen and Nanny Chen were closer relatives.

Steward Chen would not choose to betray Nanny Chen, and there was no need for An Qingqian to take the risk of being discovered by Zhang and Nanny Chen and bribe Steward Chen.

However, they kept Manager Zhang's defection very secret, and other people probably wouldn't know about it.

According to Manager Zhang, he is still the head of the shops under the name of the Marquis' Mansion.

In this case, Manager Chen's behavior becomes even more suspicious, as he did such a thing privately without even telling Manager Zhang.

Just as An Qingqian was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Bo Yun quickly put the letter away, hid it under An Qingqian's book, and then went over to open the door.

"Miss, this is a note from Miss Lan from the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that they want to invite you to go to Fuguang Temple in three days."

"Lan Mingyue?" An Qingqian looked up.

"Yes, Miss, do you want to reply?" asked the maid.

"Boyun, take the note and tell her. It's settled. I'll be waiting for her at the first intersection on the outskirts of the city at 15:00 three days later."

"Yes, Miss." Bo Yun nodded, but thought in his heart that the relationship between Miss and Miss Lan Mingyue seemed to be different from before.

"Miss, it seems that since the last time someone from heaven came to the door, your relationship with Miss Lan Mingyue has become much better than before." Yingyi said with a smile.

An Qingqian smiled lightly and said nothing. She just took out the letter and threw it into the charcoal brazier.

Watching the letter burn to ashes, An Qingqian's eyes flashed with contemplation.

Three days passed quickly, and Yingyi and Boyun had already prepared everything.

Today, Yingyi is accompanying An Qingqian, while Boyun is staying in the mansion.

Although there is nothing important happening in the mansion right now, the situation in the mansion is unstable after all, and accidents can happen at any time. An Qingqian feels more at ease leaving behind a personal maid.

However, just as An Qingqian and his men left Xihe Courtyard, they ran into Zhang Qingsha and her maid who were rushing over in a hurry.

Seeing Zhang Qingsha, An Qingqian paused and looked at Yingyi, not understanding why she came over at this time.

"Cousin, cousin." Zhang Qingsha shouted loudly before she got close to An Qingqian, fearing that An Qingqian would leave.

"What's wrong? It's so early, is there anything wrong?"

Shouldn't Zhang Qingsha be learning the pipa from Master Qin at this time?

"Cousin, I heard that you were going to Fuguang Temple today, so I asked Master Qin for leave. I wonder if you can take me to Fuguang Temple. I also want to go there to pray."

Zhang Qingsha spoke excitedly, and the maid Xiaofang followed behind her with a submissive look.

"Heard? Who is so talkative?" An Qingqian still had a smile on her face, but her tone was a little stiff.

Although this matter is not a secret, how did Zhang Qingsha, a very busy person, know about it?
