After the assassination incident that day, the old lady asked Lu Er and Lu San to stay by her side to protect her.

"Lu Yi, go and expose the matter of the Minister of Rites selling the autumn examination questions!"

When Bai Mulin got a high ranking, she suspected that someone had leaked the test questions. However, the investigation did not reveal anything about Bai Mulin, but she discovered the secret of the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was promoted by the Crown Prince and is a loyal member of the Crown Prince's faction. Apart from him, anyone else can deal a heavy blow to the Crown Prince.

If you don't resist, you'd think they were made of mud!

"Grandmother, now everyone knows that we are the Third Prince's party. Why don't we hand this matter over to the Third Prince and let him re-establish the court?"

Bai Youyou said: "With him restraining the princelings, we can avoid a lot of trouble."

After hearing her words, the old lady hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Lu Yi, you should hand over the evidence you have collected to the Third Prince. We can't always lead the charge while he sits back and watches."

While Lu Qi and Lu Chen were in charge, the matter of expanding the scale was handed over to Bai Youyou.

She made the overall plan at night and left the rest to her subordinates.

It was a rare sunny day today, and Bai Youyou was just about to curl up in the rocking chair and bask in the sun when the housekeeper came running over in a hurry.

"Young lady, someone from the manor has come to report that there is a fire over there!"

"Is anyone hurt?"

Bai Youyou was so shocked that she stood up from the recliner.

"No one was injured, but some of the goods on the farm were damaged."

"That's good."

The goods were not worth much money, Bai Youyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

"I'm afraid it's not peaceful these days. You should ask Uncle Lin to recruit more people. Three teams will patrol back and forth every day."

Most of these people were done by Marquis Yong'an. Bai Youyou pursed her lips with a deep look in her eyes.

These people are still too idle, we need to find something for them to do.

The housekeeper took the order and left. Bai Youyou immediately called Lu San and said, "Go and tell the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an that Yuan Shao, the owner of Yucheng Zaiyue Villa, has just died."

At the beginning, she smashed Jiang Hui's face beyond recognition. If not for this, she could have used this incident to make Marquis Yong'an drink a pot!

She had no evidence in her hands, but she didn't believe that the wife of Marquis Yong'an would not go to Yucheng to find out the truth after hearing about this.

Lu San was efficient in his work. In the afternoon, when the wife of Marquis Yong'an was drinking tea with others in the teahouse, she heard about the incident at Yucheng Zhaiyue Villa. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the teacup.

"Snapped!"

The celadon teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and immediately fragments flew everywhere.

"Mrs. Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

The wife of the Minister of Rites looked at the wife of Marquis Yong'an, whose face had suddenly turned pale, and asked with a worried look on her face.

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an had no time to bother with her. She staggered out of the teahouse and had someone take her in a carriage back to the Marquis's mansion.

Marquis Yongning went to the palace again today to discuss alchemy with the emperor, but she didn't find anyone in the mansion.

"Where is the Marquis? Where did the Marquis go?!"

"Madam, the Marquis has gone to the palace to accompany you."

Seeing her panic-stricken look, the housekeeper suddenly guessed a possibility.

The lady has only one son in her life, and apart from the Crown Prince Jiang Hui, nothing else could make her lose her composure like this.

"Ma'am, have you heard any rumors?"

"I was in the teahouse today and heard someone say that something happened at Yucheng Ramadhan Villa!"

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an clutched a handkerchief in her hand and looked at the housekeeper nervously, "Quickly send someone to Yucheng to see if the prince is okay!"

That's really the case.

The housekeeper lowered his eyelids to hide the guilt in his eyes. He comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. The Marquis sent someone to Yucheng a few days ago. The prince is fine. Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside."

"Did the Marquis really send someone to Yucheng to see the prince?"

The housekeeper lied seriously, "Yes, I did go. Maybe I'll bring you a letter in a few days."

"That's good, that's good..."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an had been holding her breath, but when she heard the housekeeper's words, she let out a sigh of relief and her body became so weak that she could not stand.

The old lady beside her supported her and said, "Madam, go back and rest for a while."

The wife of Marquis Yong'an nodded and returned to her own courtyard with the help of the nanny.

The housekeeper said so, but she had not replied to any of the letters she had asked Yong'an Hou to send to Yucheng these days.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Madam Yong'an pulled Madam's hand and said, "Madam, please let Xiao Liuzi go to Yucheng secretly."

The old nanny just took a careful look at the butler's expression and found that his eyes were flickering.

The old lady also had a bad feeling in her heart. She patted her young lady on the back and said, "Madam, don't worry. I will ask Xiao Liuzi to go to Yucheng in person."

As the sun was setting, Marquis Yong'an returned home with a smile on his face.

The butler quickly informed him of what had happened today.

"How could she know?!"

Marquis Yong'an paused and his expression suddenly changed.

"I heard it from the merchants from Yucheng."

"And how did you tell your wife?"

"I heard that you have sent someone to Yucheng, and they will bring back a letter soon." The housekeeper looked worried, "Madam loves her son as much as her life. If she knew about this, I'm afraid it would cause trouble!"

Yong'an Hou certainly knew what kind of personality his wife had. When she went crazy, she would not care about anything.

"Quickly find someone with a similar face and go to Ramadan Villa. Make sure to keep this news secret from me!"

Marquis Yong'an gnashed his teeth.

It's been such a long time since this happened, how could the merchants from Yucheng happen to bring up this matter? It's obvious that someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did it on purpose!

"A bunch of rubbish. I've raised them for so many years and they can't even do this!"

How could he not hate the death of his son?

That day, Bai Yaoyao asked him for people, saying that she wanted to assassinate Bai Youyou. Without saying a word, he gave her thirty of the assassins he had trained.

What a pity that they are all useless!

This matter was making him worried, and Zhu Lin, who was beside the prince, walked over quickly.

"Houfu, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened?!"

Zhu Lin looked anxious, "Hu Weizhen leaked the test questions privately, and the Third Prince's people found out!"

"This Hu Wei is so bold that he even dared to leak the test questions!"

Marquis Yong'an's eyes bulged and his voice became uncontrollably louder.

He knew that most officials were corrupt, but this Hu Weizheng even dared to do such a thing. He was simply seeking his own death!

"Has this matter been reported to the Emperor?"

"Yes, the Third Prince and a group of students have gone to the Imperial Study."

Zhu Lin was sweating profusely, his eyes full of worry.

The prince is not in the capital, so now that something like this has happened he can only come to Marquis Yong'an to deal with it.

"The Third Prince dared to go to the Imperial Study, so there must be solid evidence."

Marquis Yong'an was so anxious that he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The Third Prince has not been to court for a long time, so this is not something he can do alone. It is most likely that it was done by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Clap clap clap!"

He slapped his face three times, feeling extremely regretful.
