"Your Highness, Prime Minister Yun's eldest son Yun Hui returned to Jiangnan to participate in the imperial examination. Yun Yi accompanied him, as did Minister Jian's wife and daughter."

Listening to his subordinates' report, Li Moci silently turned the ring on his thumb.

Yun Yi and Jian Ran have both left the capital, and it will take at least several months for them to return to Jiangnan.

These days, they haven't swapped bodies again.

But Li Moci always remembered what Master Zhiqing said.

Yun Yi was the person who entered and left the game. Just in case, Li Moci still had someone secretly monitor their movements.

"Your Highness, this morning the Fourth Prince asked His Majesty to accompany the examiner to Jiangnan, saying that he wanted to gain more experience."

Li Moci sneered. Why can't I gain more knowledge? Do I have to go to Jiangnan?

"Did the Emperor agree?"

"Yes, His Majesty has agreed. In two days, the Fourth Prince will go to Jiangnan with the invigilator."

agreed?

The emperor would not fail to see that Li Mochuan wanted to get close to the Prime Minister's son and win over those candidates to his faction.

But my father still agreed. What did he mean?

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is here."

At this moment, a servant suddenly reported at the door.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside, "Third brother, where are you?"

"Third brother, I'm here." Seeing Li Moci, Li Mochuan immediately smiled.

"How come you have time to come to my place today?" Li Moci concealed the expression in his eyes and asked with a normal face.

Li Mochuan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Look at what you said, Third Brother. Don't we brothers often interact with each other? But I came to see you today because I really have something to ask for."

"what's up?"

"I want to borrow Third Brother's BMW for a while." Li Mochuan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Li Moci, and his attitude was respectful and sincere. "I will go to Jiangnan with the invigilator in a few days. I think I can ride Third Brother's fast horse and get to Jiangnan a few days earlier."

What was the purpose of arriving in Jiangnan a few days earlier?

"Do you have anything else to do in Jiangnan?" Li Moci took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"It's not a big deal." Li Mochuan's fair face was tinged with a blush, "Even Jian Ran has gone to Jiangnan. I want to go over there and ask her to go boating and watch the lanterns."

"If I go with the invigilator, I will be busy at the Imperial Examination Hall and won't have time to swim in the lake."

Li Moci didn't believe a word of what Li Mochuan said.

He went to Jiangnan first, definitely to recruit useful students for his own use. Jian Ran was just an excuse for him to get close to the Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Brother San, just lend it to me."

Li Mochuan continued to pour tea for Li Moci diligently and begged.

"It's just a horse. I'll give it to you if you like it." Li Moci lowered his eyes and said, turning the teacup in his hand.

Li Mochuan did not see the deep meaning in his eyes. When he saw a fast horse, he hurriedly thanked him happily.

After seeing Li Mochuan off, Li Moci thought of Jian Yuan.

"What's going on at the Shangshu Mansion?"

"Yesterday there was a letter from Jiangnan saying that the father of Minister Jian's concubine was seriously ill and wanted to see his daughter for the last time before he died." The subordinate replied.

Jian Fan cared about his reputation the most. If the concubine's father was sick and wanted to see his daughter, he would certainly not stop him.

Is Jiangnan a Feng Shui location recently?

Why are they all running there?

Yun Yi found a poisonous worm in the rice cake sent by Aunt Lin, but without any evidence, no one would believe him if he said Aunt Lin was the Holy Maiden of the Western Regions.

This trip to Jiangnan is just the right opportunity to investigate Aunt Lin's identity.

Eighteen years ago, when Jian Fan brought Aunt Lin back to the capital, he said that she was a laundry woman from Jiangnan.

Yun Hui also found out from Yun Mingli the address where the Shangshu Mansion sends holiday gifts to Aunt Lin's parents' home in Jiangnan every year.

When we looked over there, we found that it was just an ordinary farmhouse. Neighbors could all testify that they had lived here for generations for decades.

"Those two old people look old, but you can also tell they are not very handsome. Can they really give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Aunt Lin?"

Jian Ran sat in the carriage, looked at the two elderly people in the yard and asked?

"A bad bamboo can produce good bamboo shoots. Appearance cannot be used as evidence." Yun Hui said.

"Then we can't just ask directly, it would be bad if we alert the enemy." Jian Ran was a little disappointed, "It happened eighteen years ago, even if we want to investigate, we won't be able to find out."

After hearing what Yun Yi said about Aunt Lin, Yun Mingcang sent two groups of people to the Western Regions and Jiangnan respectively.

The journey to the Western Regions is long, and it will take three to five months to get the results.

In comparison, Jiangnan is not far away, but there is really nothing wrong with those two old people, they look like an ordinary old couple.

The old couple had only one daughter, Aunt Lin. Although she was not around, her life was much better than that of other people in the same village because the Shangshu Mansion sent people to deliver gifts every year.

Yunhui asked people in the village to ask about the Lin family, and the information they got was pretty much the same.

Until he asked an old fisherman at the river outside the village, the old fisherman said that the old couple of the Lin family were lucky. The daughter they adopted was promising and married into a wealthy family as a concubine. The old couple of the Lin family were old, but they had enough money and had no worries about food and clothing.

Aunt Lin is the daughter they adopted?

Did the Holy Maiden from the Western Regions run to Jiangnan and then be picked up by the old couple from the Lin family?

After hearing the servant's report, Yunhui thought about going to the old fisherman to ask the next day.

But when I went there the next day, I found out that the old man had fallen into the river and died accidentally the night before.

"Dead?" Yun Yi was extremely surprised when he heard this. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?

"It rained a little yesterday, and someone saw him slip and fall." Yun Hui nodded and said, "When the people by the river saw him fall, they went to rescue him, but by the time they got him out, it was too late."

Maybe it really was just an accident.

"Don't investigate further. We just need to know the truth. There's no need to let my uncle know her true identity anyway."

Jian Fan and Aunt Lin have been sleeping in the same bed for many years, so how could he not see that Aunt Lin was not an ordinary laundrywoman.

In the next few days, Yunhui prepared for the imperial examination with peace of mind.

Yun Yi wandered around. Jiangnan was not as prosperous as the capital, but as a land of fish and rice, it also had its own customs and culture.

As for Jian Ran, because Li Mochuan came to Jiangnan, he invited her to go boating on the lake, hiking and enjoying the scenery, and she had a great time every day.

That day, Yun Yi was sitting in a roadside tea stall when he suddenly saw the county magistrate's sedan chair passing by.

At first he didn't pay much attention to it, but then he heard someone next to him say, "The wife of a high-ranking official in the capital went back to her parents' home, and the county magistrate went over to show his courtesy again."
