"Fujin, are you looking for a servant?"

Xia Ying came back in a hurry and walked in front of Xiyu, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her breathing was a little rapid.

Xiyu raised her chin slightly and poured her a glass of water while she was moaning.

"Find some time to check if there is a lame maid in the palace. She is about 30 or 40 years old, thin, and has thick calluses on her hands."

As she spoke, she recalled what she had seen yesterday, carefully describing every detail she could think of.

It is also to make it easier for Xia Ying to find someone.

Xia Ying asked softly, "Does Fu Jin want to know her entire life, or does she want to know who this person is?"

The difference between these two levels is crucial in determining the difficulty of her investigation and how much time it will take.

Xi Yu thought for a moment and said a few words calmly, "As many as possible."

For some reason, she always felt that this lame nun was a key person.

"I know about this, and I will do it as soon as possible."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Wuyong came from a distance, with steady steps and a small basket in his arms.

The cautious look on his face made people feel that the things in the basket were very precious.

Xiyu couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"May the wife be blessed with good health."

After Gao Wuyong bowed, he moved closer and removed the silk covering the bamboo basket, revealing the original contents.

Xiyu looked carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

“It’s grapes!”

There are grapes in this season!

The bamboo basket was padded with soft cotton and covered with silk cloth, on which were placed several bunches of crystal clear purple grapes, like huge purple pearls, emitting an attractive luster.

These grapes look like they have just been picked, with large flakes of white frost still hanging on them. Their bright color makes people salivate.

Xiyu suddenly felt her throat was very dry and subconsciously drank more scented tea to reduce the dryness.

Then he asked, "Where did this come from?"

"They were sent from the Fourth Master's private farm. The grapes ripened early this year. This is the first batch. The Fourth Master got the news and asked me to secretly deliver it to you."

Gao Wuyong explained in detail that he must not take away any of the credit from the Fourth Master.

"These grapes are soaked in ice water, which brings a hint of coolness. It is really a comfortable thing to eat one in hot weather."

"Mammy, take it down quickly and put ice on it."

Xiyu was still lying on the chaise longue, but there was a hint of urgency in her voice.

I don’t know if the baby in my belly is particularly greedy.

Gao Wuyong was about to leave when Xiyu suddenly stopped him.

"Eunuch Gao, I want some books about pregnancy and postpartum care. I wonder if I can find them?"

I don’t know if there are any books about prenatal education in this dynasty. She wants a smart and well-behaved baby.

Aren’t there a lot of them in the Fourth Master’s study?

He had just collected all the books he could find on the market a few days ago and sent them all to the Fourth Master's study.

As he was thinking about this, he just blurted it out.

But then I realized something was wrong.

The Fourth Master usually reads these books in the study room and returns to Danruo Residence only after finishing them. It is obvious that he does not want the wife to know, and he just now...

Cold sweat broke out on Gao Wuyong's back. It was over, he was finished.

"How could there be such books in the Fourth Master's study?"

Xiyu couldn't help but feel very surprised, and at the same time she became alert, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Gao Wuyong responded vaguely, bowed quickly and left, even leaving the East Third Office.

He deceived himself by thinking that if Fu Jin went to the study on her own initiative and found those books, it would be none of his business, as he was not there and had no knowledge of it.

After Gao Wuyong left, Xiyu could no longer suppress her curiosity and took people directly to Yinzhen's study.

Although there were guards at the door, they did not stop her because she went in and out frequently.

During the day, when Yinzhen was not at home, the door of the study was always closed, and the room was very stuffy at this moment.

Xiyu pushed open all the doors and windows to disperse the heat in the room.

She asked Chunshi to wait outside and walked in slowly by herself. She took a quick glance at the furnishings around her and found that they were no different from usual.

In Yinzhen's study, there was a neatly arranged bookshelf against the wall. She noticed it when she first came in.

She walked over and took a closer look. There were all kinds of books on the bookshelf, including poetry, songs, military strategies, and some historical books.

She picked up a book at random, turned the pages, and looked at the words carefully.

These books are rich in content and cover various fields, which broadened her horizons and inspired her admiration.

No wonder he is proficient in both civil and military strategies on weekdays. It turns out that he really reads all kinds of books.

However, there were so many books here, but it seemed that there was nothing she wanted to read.

Xiyu's brows were slightly furrowed, and her pink and moist lips were slightly pouted, as if she was a little confused.

There was no reason for Gao Wuyong to lie to her on purpose. He must have hidden it and she didn't notice.

She supported her chin with one hand and crossed the other hand across her chest, her eyes searching around.

According to what Gao Wuyong said, there must be a lot of books. The place in the study that can store so many books must be...

Under the bed!

Xiyu took two quick steps, slowly bent down, and knelt on the ground.

"hiss--"

She gasped. The floor was really hard and it hurt her knees.
