After I became a maid, I relied on fortune-telling to support the whole family of the abandoned prin

Cheng Gang panicked: "I was thinking that the deposed prince has many enemies. If someone else kills him, it won't dirty your hands. If that doesn't work, I'll do it myself..."

Xiao Yanchen swung his sleeves and ordered, "Alright, let's see what happens!"

Cheng Gang bowed and stood up from the ground.

Xiao Yanchen suddenly asked again, "Have you noticed any abnormal behavior from Xiao Yanxi since he was exiled?"

"Since joining the exile team, I haven't noticed any unusual behavior from the deposed crown prince. I've also asked Wang Tiezhu and the others, but they haven't found anything either."

Xiao Yanchen's face turned grim: "Impossible."

He didn't believe that the loss of his 500,000 taels had nothing to do with Xiao Yanxi.

His expression softened, and he continued, "Prefect Xu and Prefect Ren were beaten to death by the disaster victims. Didn't they find anything unusual in this incident?"

Cheng Gang shook his head. "The floods in Zhongzhou have devastated the country, and the victims are suffering. It's only natural that they are angry with the Zhongzhou officials."

Besides, this kind of thing has happened before.

Xiao Yanchen's face turned ashen with anger. "Let's not even talk about their deaths. I didn't get a single cent of the money they embezzled. Do you still think this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yanxi?"

Cheng Gang opened his mouth, wanting to say that his subordinates didn't know, but that only made Xiao Yanchen even angrier.

Therefore, Cheng Gang could only say: "That Xie Fanjin must know something about the inside story. Your Highness should start with her."

Xiao Yanchen angrily waved his sleeves and left. Did Cheng Gang need to say more? Is he stupid?

So, Xiao Yanchen went back and said to Shen Anan, "Think of a way to dispel Xie Fanjin's grudge against you and get something against Xiao Yanxi from her."

Shen Anan was anxious: "Your Highness, you also know that Xie Fanjin doesn't take me seriously..."

Xiao Yanchen's face turned grim: "If you can't do it, I will have to come in person!"

Otherwise, what's the point of him keeping this woman? Even if he needs women, he won't look down on this kind of stuff!

Shen Anan panicked. Why did Xiao Yanchen come in person?

Of course, Xie Fanjin must be taken into the room and treated with great pampering.

So, she could only say aggrievedly: "Then, then I will give it a try."

"Xie Fanjin..."

Everyone was on their way. Xiao Yanchen and Shen Anan took a carriage, while the others had to walk.

Shen Anan suddenly poked her head out of the carriage and waved to Xie Fanjin with a smile.

Xie Fanjin crossed his arms over his chest and waited until the carriage slowed down before stepping forward. "What's going on?"

Shen Anan handed her an oil-paper bag and said, "You didn't eat enough this morning, did you? I specially left some snacks for you, osmanthus cake and peach blossom cake. Come and try them."

Shen Anan stuffed the pastries directly into Xie Fanjin's arms, very enthusiastic.

"If you're thirsty, tell me. I have some excellent tea."

"Thanks."

Not only did Xie Fanjin not refuse, but his thanks were also very perfunctory.

No matter how angry Shen Anan was, she had to smile.

If Xie Fanjin was really taken in by Xiao Yanchen, what would she do then?

"Oh, this is obviously a good thing made by a big restaurant." As soon as Xie Fanjin opened the oil paper package, Xiao Zhenzhen sniffed and swallowed.

Xie Fanjin sneered, grabbed a piece of peach blossom pastry and put it into his mouth.

Well, it tastes pretty good. It would definitely taste better if it was freshly cooked.

Xiao Zhenzhen kept swallowing her saliva, her eyes glued to Xie Fanjin's pastries.

Others simply couldn't bear to watch.

Seeing that Xie Fanjin had no intention of giving her any, Xiao Zhenzhen could only smile and say, "You followed Second Brother, and my Third Brother is furious. Should I put in a few good words for him on your behalf?"

Xie Fanjin wanted to roll his eyes: "Didn't you say that with my status, I can only be Xiao Yanxi's concubine? I've already climbed up the social ladder, why am I arguing with him?"

Xiao Zhenzhen was a little mad: "Then... then if you follow my second brother, won't you also be a concubine? My third brother is handsome and elegant, much better than the second brother..."

Xie Fanjin blinked his eyes: "Really? I'll tell the Second Prince what you said."

Xiao Zhenzhen stamped her feet in anger: "Xie Fanjin, you're going too far!"

Xie Fanjin curled his lips and distributed the pastries to Mrs. Chen San and Chen Xinyan, and only handed the last two pieces to Xiao Zhenzhen.

Xiao Zhenzhen felt very aggrieved. Was Xie Fanjin teasing her or humiliating her?

"Hmph, I won't eat anymore!"

Xie Fanjin took another piece of cake and put it into his mouth, and then only one piece was left.

Xiao Zhenzhen's eyes immediately turned red: "Third brother, she is going too far, are you going to do anything about it?"

Xiao Yanxi seemed not to hear and just kept walking.

Xie Fanjin tried hard to suppress his laughter: "If you don't want to eat it, forget it."

Xiao Zhenzhen cried even louder.

Xie Fanjin stuffed the remaining piece of cake to Chen Xinyan.

Chen Xinyan handed it to Xiao Zhenzhen again: "She was just joking with you, don't be angry."

Xiao Zhenzhen felt even more aggrieved.

After leaving Zhongzhou is Jiangzhou.

There are also many disaster victims from Zhongzhou at the gate of Jiangzhou City, but there is also porridge here. The victims are in good condition and are trying hard to find a way out.

"Young master, do you like crickets? They're two cents each, and they come in a cage." A disaster victim saw Chen Xiaobao and walked up to him with a smile, showing off the toy in his hand.

Chen Xiaobao immediately reached out, grabbed the toy in his hand, and walked forward while playing with it.

The victim was a little anxious when he saw this: "Young Master, you haven't paid yet!"

Mrs. Chen Er started cursing, "You're blind! We're exiled, how could we possibly give you money?"

The disaster victim was a little confused after hearing this. He saw that Chen Xiaobao was not dressed poorly and did not look like a child who had suffered punishment and exile, so he went forward. He never expected it to be like this.

"No, if you took my cricket, either pay me or give it back to me!"

Mrs. Chen Er didn't want to go to Mrs. Chen for two copper coins, nor did she want to spend her own private money, so she called out to Chen Xiaobao: "My dear, return that broken cricket to him. I'll buy you a better one tomorrow!"

The disaster victim stepped forward to take back his cricket, but unexpectedly Chen Xiaobao's face changed and he suddenly threw it on the ground. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, Chen Xiaobao stepped on it.

The cricket died and the cage broke.

"What good stuff? I don't want it!"

The victim immediately became angry and grabbed Chen Xiaobao and refused to let go: "You have to compensate...you have to compensate me for the crickets. My family relies on me selling crickets to make a living!"

Chen Xiaobao slapped the disaster victim in the face: "Who do you think you are? You are just a lowly person. You dare to ask me for money? You are asking for a beating!"

As he said that, Chen Xiaobao kicked the victim again.

Before, the Chen family had poor food, and Chen Xiaobao only thought about eating meat. Now that he has no shortage of delicious food, his temper has improved.

Xie Fanjin saw this when she came over. She didn't say anything and just stood aside.

The people around also gathered here, pointing and talking.

"This is simply too much! We disaster victims are already pitiful enough, yet we are still being bullied like this!"

"That's right. Someone told us disaster victims to follow the rules, to find ways to support ourselves, and not let others hate us. We listened to her, but we're still being bullied and looked down upon!"

"We shouldn't listen to her nonsense. She doesn't know shit. She probably hasn't even grown all her hair yet!"

Xie Fanjin felt the gazes of his companions and felt a little embarrassed. What was going on?

She must have said this, and it has even reached here?

The disaster victim was humiliated repeatedly by Chen Xiaobao and immediately lost his patience. He gave Chen Xiaobao a big beating: "Hey, who do you think you are? You are an exiled criminal, not much nobler than a lowly person like me. You must pay me compensation today!"

After being beaten, Chen Xiaobao immediately lost his previous toughness, started crying and wailing, sat down on the ground and started rolling around.

"Mother, mother... He beat me, he beat me, you guys should avenge me..."
