I traveled through time with my best friend.

Then, Jiang Xue was stared at by Pei Zhijin's gloomy eyes.

"How much did you hear?"

Jiang Xue would never say that she had heard everything, and said awkwardly: "Well... I just arrived too, so I only heard a little bit."

"explain."

"It was just about the disaster relief money. I didn't hear anything else."

Pei Zhijin warned in a cold tone: "Miss Jiang, it's late, so don't run around. Otherwise, I don't know if the woman in red will come back to find you."

Jiang Xue: “….”

He is narrow-minded and relies on his fear of those things to scare her. But Jiang Xue was not brought up to be scared.

"Ahem." Jiang Xue cleared her throat and said, "Sir, I actually have a way to get those silver coins back."

Wen Yu looked at Jiang Xue in disbelief and asked, "You?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xue nodded.

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

Pei Zhijin wanted to see what kind of medicine Jiang Xue sold in her gourd, so he said, "Tell me about it." Then he opened his folding fan and fanned it slowly.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin, who exuded a kind of nobility in his every move and looked handsome, especially when he was holding a fan, which made him look much more handsome than holding a sword.

Wait! Jiang Xue shook her head. What was she thinking? How could she be so useless?

After adjusting his mood, he said, "Since the relief money was lost on the way to Anren County, the money must still be in Anren County."

"Miss Jiang, we adults already know everything you said." Wen Yu reminded her.

Jiang Xue ignored him and continued, "The He family is a good place to hide silver."

"Pfft!" Wen Yu laughed out loud, "Ms. Jiang, do you think the He family has the guts to do this?"

"I don't know if they have the courage, but the He family's courage was given by the one in the capital."

Wen Yu's eyes immediately became serious, and Wen Chuan's eyes were also full of surprise.

Pei Zhijin still looked lazy, looked at Jiang Xue and said: "Continue."

Jiang Xue slowly walked towards Pei Zhijin and said, "Perhaps, I can join forces with you, sir."

"reason?"

Jiang Xue was slightly stunned. Wasn't what she said obvious enough? She cursed in her heart before speaking: "Sir, don't you want to find out who is behind this Anren County incident?"

"I can check everything you said. Miss Jiang, can you tell me something I don't know?"

Well, this doesn't convince Pei Zhijin, it seems that he still needs to make something more explosive, and then he said: "King Cheng wants something from the young marquis."

"Oh?" Pei Zhijin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What is it?"

"I don't know. If I had known, I would have gone to negotiate with King Cheng a long time ago." Jiang Xue said casually.

Pei Zhijin narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Are you not the King's man?"

what?

Jiang Xue looked panicked and quickly denied: "I am not Cheng Wang's man, he was the one who pestered me."

Wen Yu and Wen Chuan looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Sir, we will go out first."

Pei Zhijin nodded.

Jiang Xue and Pei Zhijin were the only ones left in the room.

The two looked at each other until an awkward atmosphere filled the air. Jiang Xue coughed and said, "Lord Pei is so wary of me, suspecting that I am King Cheng's man."

Pei Zhijin didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Xue, "What else?"

"Master Pei, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, and you can't make random guesses. I have nothing to do with King Cheng."

"How do you prove it?"

Jiang Xue's phoenix eyes began to turn, and then she said: "King Cheng has always wanted to win me over, but I disagreed, so I went to Anzhou to see my grandmother and stay away from the capital."

Pei Zhijin obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin's disbelieving expression, and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if you don't believe me, I will find the silver coins myself and find out who is behind the He family to prove myself."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without looking back.

Pei Zhijin's eyes darkened. Why did Jiang Xue do this tonight?

"What a damn man, so sinister, cunning and suspicious." Jiang Xue returned to her room muttering to herself. She must find a way to prove that she had nothing to do with King Cheng.

Otherwise, if King Cheng fails to seize the throne, she will also suffer.

As for why Jiang Xue was so sure that Cheng Wang would lose, there was only one reason. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. Cheng Wang was obviously a villain, and villains have never won since ancient times.

The next day.

Jiang Xue left the inn early in the morning, preparing to check out the area around the He family.

The streets today are much better than the past two days. There are already several vendors selling goods on the street.

Jiang Xue chose a teahouse and sat down. "Boss, give me a pot of tea."

"okay."

The boss quickly brought the tea. Jiang Xue looked over and found that the tea was no different from water.

"Boss, do you know the He family in front?"

"The He family." The boss looked at the He family and praised them, "The master of the He family is really a kind man. When Anren County was hit by a flood, he donated a lot of money and even set up a porridge stall."

"What's the name of the master of the He family?"

"He Zhizhou."

"I heard that the son of the He family wanted to marry a woman a year ago, but something unexpected happened later. Does the boss know about this?"

"Alas." The boss pulled out a stool and sat opposite Jiang Xue, saying, "It is true. The young master of the He family is now the master of the He family. He was bewitched by a woman of pleasure. Fortunately, he came to his senses and the woman of pleasure left on her own."

"You left on your own?"

"Yes." The boss' eyes widened and he said, "For this reason, the He family waited for three days at the Lai Fu Inn."

"Hmph." Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, afraid that Sanri was busy dealing with the corpses.

"But I heard that there were many deaths in Lai Fu Inn later on. All the dead were women, and their eyes were gouged out."

"Then I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence."

Seeing that the boss knew very little, Jiang Xue gave him some silver and stood up and said, "Thank you very much."

Then he turned and left and walked towards the He family.

Jiang Xue stared at the He family in the corner with her brows slightly frowned. Her hand unconsciously began to rub her chin as she thought seriously.

"It seems like I have to find a way to explore the He Mansion tonight."

Just as he finished talking to himself, he saw the door of the He family suddenly opened, and a woman in a light green dress came out.

Jiang Xue looked over and asked, "Why is it Yiyi?" Then she shouted, "Yiyi!"

When Lin Yiyi heard the voice and looked over, her originally indifferent expression became visibly delighted.

He walked quickly towards Jiang Xue, "Xue'er."

Jiang Xue said in surprise: "I sent someone to the capital to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to Anren County."

"I sent someone to the capital to deliver a message to you, but they said you were not in the capital. I thought we were going to miss each other."

Lin Yiyi's eyes became wet as she spoke, "Xue'er, it's so great to see you."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's never separate again."

In Lin Yiyi's heart, she will feel at ease as long as Jiang Xue is there. Jiang Xue is like a lighthouse shining on the vast ocean for Lin Yiyi.

And in Jiang Xue's heart, Lin Yiyi is the same.
