Acai waited for a while before pretending to add water and lazily returned to the kitchen.

After Ah Cai left, they saw a figure flash by on a lush tree above their heads, and chased after the man who had just gone into the bushes.

When Lu Zhenzhen woke up from her nap in the afternoon, Haitang came in to report that Daman had brought someone to see her.

After washing up and changing into suitable clothes, Lu Zhenzhen came out and saw Daman with a man who looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a while, he realized it was one of the three hundred people Tang Liang brought with him.

When he saw Lu Zhenzhen, the man saluted and introduced himself first. He was Tang Liang's subordinate and a scout in the army. His name was Fang Hu.

He was sent by Tang Liang to follow Fu Zhiyi.

Before Fu Zhiyi left, he told them to pay attention to the situation and developments in the village.

They did not dare to slack off and kept an eye on the people left in the manor, and indeed they found something wrong.

The kitchen helper, the one called Acai, was passing the message to the people outside.

Fang Hu told everything that Ah Cai had said to the outsider.

Lu Zhenzhen looked embarrassed. Hey, the old saying is true, being able to eat is a blessing.

Look, she just ate a little bit more, but she accidentally made people not suspect Fu Zhiyi's departure. Isn't this a kind of ability?

Clearing her throat, Lu Zhenzhen pressed on, "Have you found out who Na'acai was contacting, and whether he was passing on any information?"

"Madam, I've already found out that the person Ah Cai contacted is a subordinate of Yu Wenlong, the owner of the manor. I followed him all the way and found that he entered a nearby manor, and Yu Wenlong is there."

"From what the master and servant said, Yu Wenlong wanted to know the news because he wanted to find out what the master and his wife like so that he could cater to their preferences."

Lu Zhenzhen didn't expect that Yu Wenlong was so ambitious.

"But I also discovered that Yu Wenlong's subordinate was also bribed. He not only informed Yu Wenlong of the information he had gathered, but also informed another group of people, and received 100 taels of silver in return."

"I've already asked my brothers to investigate that group of people. I think they'll have news back soon."

Fang Hu and his men are scouts in the army. They have to be very good at tracking people and hiding themselves. It is really easy for them to use it to track a few people. It is not difficult at all.

Lu Zhenzhen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. When Master comes back, I will tell him about your hard work and contributions."

"If you need anything these days, just tell Daman. We will do our best to satisfy you and will definitely not let your hard work be in vain."

Fang Hu waved his hands repeatedly. This business trip for them couldn't be easier.

Along the way, in order to avoid suspicion, Lord Fu had little contact with them, but they didn't have to worry about food and accommodation along the way, naturally because he was taking care of them.

Although Lord Fu always said that it was Captain Tang who paid the money, he was just doing it out of convenience.

Although they are rough soldiers, they can still sense whether they are sincere or not.

They worked so hard because Captain Tang had instructed them to protect Lord Fu and his family and follow his orders.

Secondly, I was naturally grateful, so I worked extra hard.

After hearing what Lu Zhenzhen said, Fang Hu felt even more relieved. He secretly made up his mind to go back and tell his brothers to work harder and more attentively in the future.

After finishing the business, Dama took his men downstairs.

Lu Zhenzhen's expression became serious. They had just arrived in Nanyue County and hadn't even touched upon the power of Nanyue County, but they felt like they were already being watched.

I don’t know what the intentions of those people who bribed Yu Wenlong’s men were?

I was even more worried because I didn’t know whether Fu Zhiyi had arrived at the herbalist’s village yet.

Have you found the golden cicada?

And the capital city is thousands of miles away.

Fu Zhai.

The weather in the capital was getting hot, and Lan had no appetite at noon, so she just made a bowl of rice with some tea.

I was counting the days and calculating the distance with Zhang Xian's family, and estimated that Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen should have arrived in South Vietnam.

Lan sighed, frowning, "I wonder if the two children can adapt to the climate in South Vietnam? I heard that the miasma is very strong there, and many people have died because of acclimatization problems. I've been worried about them all the time—"

Zhang Xianjia comforted her, "Madam, the Fourth Master and Fourth Mistress are both sensible people. They also brought the old doctor's nephew with them all the way, and Nanny Ye is watching over them. I think they must have arrived safely. Who knows, there may be a letter back in a few days. Don't scare yourself."

"How about you go back to the Lan family tomorrow and talk to the old lady and the eldest lady from your family. Maybe it will be better."

Lan curled her lips and said, "I won't go. If I go, I'll be scolded! After my eldest brother scolds me, my sister-in-law scolds me. After my sister-in-law scolds me, my mother scolds me—"

Ever since she was confused last time and wanted to leave her daughter-in-law in the capital to accompany her and let her son go to South Vietnam alone, she became a target of scolding every time she returned to her parents' home.

She doesn't want to suffer any punishment.

Zhang Xianjia opened his mouth, but then thought about how his wife was scolded after going to the Lan family, and then he closed his mouth and dared not persuade her anymore.

After thinking for a while, she came up with another idea: "How about you go find the third master and have a quarrel with him? Maybe it will cheer you up."

If it was called a quarrel, of course the third master was the one being scolded.

My wife is in a bad mood. Maybe she can feel better if she scolds the third master and vents her anger.

As for whether the third master was in a good mood after being scolded, that was not their concern.

When Lan heard this, she thought, that was right. It was all because the Third Master was an incompetent father.

If he had more ability, would his son and daughter-in-law be sent thousands of miles away?

Now his son and daughter-in-law are going through all kinds of hardships and sufferings outside, but he, as a father, is still living a carefree life in the capital. Is that reasonable?

We must not let him be so happy!

He immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Is the Third Master home? Did he go out fooling around again? Go get him back for me—"

When Zhang Xianjia saw that Lan had regained her spirits, he immediately agreed and hurried out to order someone to bring the third master back.

Not long after, the third master was escorted to Lan by several servants.

Still with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you want to talk to me about? Can't you wait for me to come back? Do you have to make me wait here and rush me to come? If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm in a hurry to go out."

Lan was furious when she heard this: "Your son and daughter-in-law are suffering thousands of miles away, and you still have the nerve to go out and have a good time? Fu Heyin, are you really heartless?"

The third master was scolded right away and immediately cried out in injustice: "I went out to do serious business, not to have a leisurely life?"

Lan didn't believe it. What serious business had he ever done in all these years? Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling were his main business.

He sneered, "You're doing business? What business? Going to Yihonglou to show your support to the courtesan, or going to Minxiang to flirt with that tofu-pudding beauty?"
