The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time
Chapter 30 Intelligence agency?
Lu Yingxing was looking down at the paper in Shen Yu's hand.
A passage was recorded on it: Sister Zhang's wicked mother-in-law disliked her for not being able to give birth to a grandson, and allowed her second sister-in-law to seduce her eldest uncle, saying that any child born would be her own anyway. When Sister Zhang found out, she hanged herself and was rescued, but she still hadn't shown up after two months, and everyone speculated that she was dead.
In the lower right corner it says: Zhang Qiu, No. 3 Peacock Street, South City. My second cousin mentioned this when she came to visit. The address is number 883.
The next one is: Mr. Lin stole money from his classmate on his way to Beijing for the imperial examination, and the student who was robbed had to stay and miss the exam... Originally thought it was the inn's hand, but some time ago, the person who was traveling with him got drunk and told the truth. It turned out that the person who stole the money was Mr. Lin who lived next door? It was raining on the day of the incident, and only Mr. Lin went back to get something. That person said that he was one of the first to rush back to the room, and he saw with his own eyes the half-dried mud shoe prints in the room. When everyone entered the room again, the shoe prints disappeared. He never told anyone about this matter.
In the lower right corner it says: Anonymous, number 879.
Seeing that she was about to turn over the third one, he asked aloud, "Madam, what are these?"
"Story inspiration, for writing picture books," Shen Yu answered naturally, having given up on correcting his address.
The little boy and the middle-aged man in the store looked up at the same time, and the boy asked quietly: "Sister, who is he?"
"Friend!" Shen Yu answered casually, but Lu Yingxing's smile did not reach his eyes, "No, I'm your brother-in-law."
Yu Hai's shocked voice sounded again, "Brother-in-law!? When did I have a brother-in-law?"
Shen Yu raised his head and glared at Lu Yingxing, "Come with me," and then pinched Yu Hai's round face, "You have a lot of problems at such a young age, huh? Don't talk nonsense when you go home. He is not your brother-in-law. Let's talk about it when I get back..."
Following her into the small courtyard behind the store, they passed a room that looked like a schoolroom, with three long rows of desks and stools. This was the first time Lu Yingxing had seen such a design.
I walked to the end of the room and opened the secret door behind the bookcase. Inside was a sealed room with four large filing cabinets neatly labeled East, South, West, and North.
"The news about Xu Yaying was collected accidentally in the study. Someone saw her appear in the mountains two days after she fell off the cliff, as if nothing had happened." Shen Yu brought him here because he decided to find a source for the news to prevent him from being suspicious.
After saying that, he put the notes into the corresponding boxes.
So the lady wanted to use the study to cover up the matter of the heavenly book? It was a smart move, so he cooperated with an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I see, that's why. No wonder."
One thought the other believed it, and the other thought he had glimpsed the truth, and both sides miraculously thought they had reached a consensus again.
"Madam's study should be more than just a study, right? It should be more like a place for collecting intelligence?"
It is undeniable that collecting intelligence under the pretext of buying and selling story inspiration is a really clever tactic. The great man is hidden in the city, and the sources of information are varied. Although it takes a certain amount of time to screen the content, this method is more efficient and safer than training people personally.
Even he had to admire this method, so Lu Yingxing became even more curious. With his wife's means and intelligence, how could she be forced to live in a temple? How could she be someone who was granted marriage obediently?
"The little boy outside is called Yu Hai. He is my adopted child. There are five other children of similar age, and several adults, including me... a total of fourteen or fifteen people. They need to leave with me. Can Your Highness make arrangements for so many people?" Shen Yu did not answer his question.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it when I get back. Madam, could you answer my questions first?" he insisted.
"I'm not good at collecting intelligence. I'm not someone who knows everything. It's just that the residents nearby tell me the stories they hear, and then I find someone to compile the stories into a book," she answered truthfully.
"Madam, do you still know about 'Tongtian Tower'?" Lu Yingxing tested calmly. Could it be that she knew the identity of the owner of the tower?
Shen Yu nodded frantically, with a look of yearning on his face, "It's the largest intelligence agency in Linyue! It has a group of 'Angel Agents' who collect intelligence. It's so impressive~~~ Who doesn't know it!"
"Oh? Madam, do you also want to become an 'Angel Channeler'?"
If she wanted, it was not impossible for him to open a backdoor for her. After all, she was the wife of the landlord, right? She should have some privileges, right? Lu Yingxing thought.
"Oh no! How could I have that ability! They are far inferior to my small study with only a bunch of little scholars," Shen Yu said with an indifferent look on his face.
[Should I tell you that the original intention of opening a study was just to meet more young scholars? ]
After hearing this, Lu Yingxing's expression became stern, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, staring at the woman in front of him who could piss him off to death at any time, and asked with gritted teeth, "Is there no other! What! reason?" He emphasized the word "what" on purpose.
"Yes, it's about making money. Scholars have good writing skills, but their ideas are empty. I'm providing them with inspiration," Shen Yu tilted his head and answered him, his smile simple and harmless.
[The more you look, the more you can choose. Only those who are handsome enough are suitable for marrying into the family, hehehe]
Lu Yingxing's deep voice seemed to be on the verge of exploding, "Madam, if you don't have enough money in the future, you can tell your husband. It's the man's incompetence to let a woman worry about money." Can you accept an incompetent man who has fallen into the position of marrying into the wife's family? He felt like his blood vessels were about to explode.
Seeing that he was inexplicably unhappy again, Shen Yu pretended to be aggrieved and said:
"This is not good. After all, we are just partners. We will get divorced sooner or later!"
With words like partnership on the left and divorce on the right, Lu Yingxing suppressed his anger. He still wanted to run away, right?
Little scholar, right?
Marrying into the wife's family, right?
Shen Yu, just wait for me! !
A man's temper is more unpredictable than the weather. He laughs one moment and gets angry the next. Who knows what bad things he might be up to? Shen Yu felt that he couldn't get used to him, so he lowered his head and continued to flip through the notes.
"…………" Lu Yingxing was furious, but he didn't want to continue the previous topic, "Madam, aren't you afraid of being discovered by storing these notes?"
"It doesn't matter if it's discovered. These are just inspirational stories. They're fake. Ordinary people will write down the source clearly. If it's sensitive news, it won't appear here."
Seeing her speaking lightly, acting in an orderly and methodical manner, "Madam, since you have this ability? And you have never valued the identity of the daughter of the Shen family, why was you granted marriage to me in the first place? Madam, there should be more than one choice", Lu Yingxing still cared about the answer.
"I told you, marrying you is the most convenient..." Shen Yu didn't look at him, and reached out to take out a box of notes.
"You owe me a favor by offering me the news of your sweetheart. I'm sure you'll be willing to help me get away. I have no reason to refuse, and the imperial decree granting the marriage had already been issued. It was too late for me to leave."
"I don't have a lover!" Lu Yingxing retorted immediately, "Is there anyone from Prince Zhuo's Mansion in your information? Did you know... me before you entered the palace?" He didn't understand why he suddenly insisted on getting an answer, as if he wanted to hear that she knew him and was willing to marry him.
Seeing him immediately refute the statement that he had a lover, Shen Yu felt that this person... had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder in his heart.
Finally, she turned around and looked at him unhappily, "Prince Lu, we were originally two non-intersecting balance lines. I admit that I originally planned to leave soon. The marriage was an accident, but this does not affect my departure. I just need to make adjustments. Leaving after making a deal with you is my new plan after adjustment. Do you understand?"
"As for my original understanding of Prince Zhuo's Mansion, it is that you, Prince Zhuo, have been trapped here since childhood, and can only return to Zhuo City to succeed the throne after getting married. You have the woman you have loved for many years, and your princess will never be me. I will leave Luo City, and you will have your own life. Are you satisfied?"
Shen Yu has a bad temper, he always asks questions and it's so annoying!
