An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Afraid they wouldn't believe her, Jing Chunxi said to the housekeeper and Liu Qiang, "Compared to all this, Sister Xi wants to know what happened in the capital in the past few months."

After saying this, he looked at the butler and then at Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang gestured for the steward Jing to speak first. The steward did not refuse. He looked at Jing Chunxi and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Pingyang Marquis Mansion..."

Seeing Jing Chunxi nodded, he said again: "Old Marquis's wife", and paused again, feeling that something was wrong.

Then he changed his words and said, "Towards the end of the year, Chu Xuan married a second wife, Peng, the daughter of Peng Zhizhou, a fifth-rank councilor of the Ministry of Public Administration."

After a pause, he continued, "Peng's grandfather was once the Prince's tutor. He retired and returned to his hometown more than ten years ago."

Jing Chunxi was surprised, even feeling it was unbelievable: "Prince's tutor?"

Liu Qiang nodded beside him and explained, "For almost half a year, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion and the Fourth Prince have had little contact and seem to have become estranged.

Chu Xuan is quite scheming. If he hadn't married Peng, he wouldn't have been able to get in touch with the Crown Prince."

Jing Chunxi: “Hehe.”

I wonder if such a marriage with such a strong purpose will be stable? Is the prince so easy to be the scapegoat?

Butler Jing continued, "After Mrs. Peng came in, Mrs. Xiao Liu and Bao Ge'er were sent to the manor. They said that the manor was the farthest away and they probably wouldn't come back."

Seeing Jing Chunxi's interest, the chief steward added, "That's Peng's farm. Bao Ge'er never recovered after that. He was half crazy when he went there."

Jing Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed. "What good could there be in going to someone else's farm? In their previous life, their family was sent to the farm where their mother had gotten her dowry, and they died tragically there too. And she had already emptied Xiao Liu's storehouse."

The chief steward continued, "After Old Liu's stroke, she had been getting a little better, but I heard that after Young Liu and Bao Ge'er were sent away, she made a lot of noise. I heard that she never calmed down, and then she was bedridden for two months. ~~ She passed away a while ago."

Just when Jing Chunxi thought the butler had finished, he continued, "Just after the 27th day after Old Liu's death, the old marquis took back his concubines from outside. He took back two at once, and one was pregnant."

If the person opposite him was Silang or Pu Ge'er, Jing Chunxi would definitely burst out laughing: Haha, this is so funny.

It’s a pity that the old woman didn’t see this scene, otherwise she would be awakened even if she died.

No one can escape the law of karma!

"What about Fu Ge'er?" Jing Chunxi couldn't help asking when he thought of this brat who was older than Pu Ge'er, always made his mother feel uncomfortable, and always bullied his younger brother.

The chief steward shook his head. "I haven't heard of that. The old marquis didn't bring him to the palace banquet last year, and people were talking about it! Some even mocked him for not having any grandchildren."

Jing Chunxi thought to himself, "Haha!" Maybe when the old marquis attends the palace banquet this year, he will bring his newborn baby with him.

When Liu Qiang was reporting, Jing Chunxi did not ask the old housekeeper to avoid him. They were originally from the mansion, and now they were both working for their master in the capital. They must have shared a lot of information and had some understanding of each other.

"The Queen requested the Emperor to order the Crown Prince to marry another concubine, from the Xu family of the Shengguo Mansion."

Liu Qiang was afraid that Jing Chunxi didn't know, so he added: "The Xu family also participated in the impeachment of General Jing's Mansion."

Jing Chunxi nodded. She had just returned and didn't know anything. It was not the time for her to speak carelessly or make judgments.

They talked about a lot of things that happened later in the capital, but there were too many people and things involved, and they were too complicated. Some of the names sounded too unfamiliar, and Jing Chunxi couldn't remember them very well. It took more than an hour to talk about the bits and pieces.

Before seeing them off, Jing Chunxi stood up, stretched, and ordered, "Keep an eye on that old scoundrel, Cabinet Scholar Ji Jiading. See if there's anything you can use to ensnare him. Also, keep an eye out for any connections he might have with the Pingyang Marquisate."

When they heard this, they both paused and thought that this person did not seem to have a good reputation among the officials in the capital, but they did not raise any objections.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, the two bowed and left. When they were near the door, the housekeeper Jing said to Jing Chunxi, "The courtyard is full of old people from the mansion. My cousin, you can use them without worry. If you need anything, tell the doorman to find this old servant."

The owner doesn't live in the house, so they take good care of it. Except for a few servants, they don't live here either.

Just now, the butler also specifically mentioned that there is another house outside.

Ah Qi came in and described the topography of Fubo Ridge, what kind of checkpoints one might encounter on the way up the mountain, including how many floors the villa built on the edge of the Grand Canyon had, how many doors one had to pass through to get in, and how many guards were at each door. He described everything in detail, but he didn't tell him where the treasures were kept.

Jing Chunxi listened patiently, but it went in one ear and out the other. The security was so tight that she felt that even if the guards were as firm as a stake and would not move, she would definitely run into a wall if she went in and would not be able to get out.

Over there, the butler and Liu Qiang walked out of the door together. Seeing Liu Qiang kept his head down in deep thought and didn't say anything, the old butler was a little worried and said to him earnestly: "Qiangzi, don't take your cousin's affairs lightly, your cousin..."

"Butler, don't worry. I understand everything. I wouldn't underestimate my cousin just now because of her performance. My eldest brother explained everything about her and my aunt to me before he left. He especially said that my cousin is someone he admires. How could I not be convinced?

Qiangzi just doesn't understand. Ji Jiading isn't on our list, and even the old generals and the great generals haven't mentioned him. Why, when my cousin just mentioned him, her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred, as if there was a blood feud. It made me a little timid when I saw it."

The butler said: "Don't think about things you don't understand. Just do what the master says."

In fact, he himself did not understand. At his cousin's age, she used to have contacts with some noble families besides the two mansions, so she should not have known many other people. The person she mentioned had no connection with the two mansions, so where did her tremendous hatred come from?
