Did Jing Yi completely figure out where the treasure was hidden? Otherwise, how could he know exactly where everything was?

Most of the people's wealth was in the hands of the prince, but Taifu Peng would never be so honest and would definitely keep a part of it. He was not the kind of person who would pay tribute to the prince with all the fat he had in his mouth.

The prince would not be so stupid as to move all the gold, silver and treasures into the East Palace before he ascended the throne. She and Xu Zize had anticipated this, but if he really hid it in Prince Ping's Mansion (of course it is not called Prince Ping's Mansion now), that would be too bold.

It was like putting all his possessions under the eyes of the current emperor. But this was also the prince's cleverness. The dog emperor would never have thought that the prince would have such courage.

Even if the emperor and empress occasionally missed the days before they entered the Eastern Palace, they would at most return to Prince Ping's Mansion for a visit and would definitely not stay there. They never imagined that the mansion had long become the prince's world.

Even if they heard some rumors, they would not search their own nest during the house search, as that would bring shame to the royal family.

Only then did Jing Yi look at Jing Chunxi and slowly say, "Ever since Xi'er left for Jiujiang County, Master has had people keep an eye on the caravans and escorts returning from Jiujiang and Jian'an County. He also wouldn't let go of those escorted by yamen runners or soldiers. Naturally, he discovered their details."

After finishing his speech, he looked deeply at Jing Chunxi for a moment, then continued, "Tao Jin also sent a secret letter back to remind us, but his letter was more than ten days later than Master's arrangement. In his letter, he specifically explained what to do if there was any news, and asked Master to wait for Xi'er to come back to discuss it together."

Jing Chunxi was still a little uncomfortable hearing her master call her "Xi'er" so affectionately again and again. But they had never expected that Xu Zize would send a secret letter to Qingshan Villa without telling her.

At this time, Jing Qiurong's focus was not on their eyebrow dispute. She whispered to Jing Yi, "Call him Prince from now on."

Jing Yi actually nodded at her obediently, but turned around and still looked at Jing Chunxi with some suspicion.

Xu Zize's secret letter contained a shocking sentence, which Jing Yi hadn't said in full, nor had he told Jing Qiurong. It was: "Xi'er's decision is also the opinion of this prince and the Prince of Yan. Please follow it."

Jing Chunxi was a little uncomfortable with the strange look her master gave her and wanted to urge him to go back quickly, but Jing Yi just kept dawdling.

Forced to do so, she pulled up Pu Ge'er, who had been sitting there listening obediently, and said, "I wonder how Daye and the others have been accommodated? I have to go and see."

As he walked, he said, "I want to sleep with my mother tonight."

I immediately heard Jing Yi's sneer from behind and thought I would be scolded by him.

Jing Yi's footsteps followed him out, and he suddenly said, "Don't even look at the time!"

Jing Chunxi didn't let his words stop him and continued to walk out. He believed everyone had gotten a good night's sleep during the day, and they might still be chatting with others tonight. Since they didn't have to go to school tomorrow, tonight would definitely be another sleepless night.

Pu Ge'er was dragged by his sister, and his tone was a little teasing: "Sister brought him back and left him alone. It's already this late. Don't worry, Da Ya won't lie outside.

After eating this morning, Sister Chuntao wanted to put him down, but he ran off to sleep with Brother Xiaoman and didn't get up until after noon.

Brother Xiaoman originally wanted to let him live at home, but Brother Xin said that since Da Ya came to the provincial school to study, it would not be good to disturb Xiaoman who was practicing martial arts.

Brother Congxin also said that his house was spacious and wanted Da Ya to move in. Mother and Brother Jing both agreed.

"Oh fine!"

This was all arranged, so she didn't have to think about it, so Jing Chunxi was naturally happy. Da Ya couldn't read a single word, so he had to start with the most basic literacy. If he really wanted to learn, he would definitely make faster progress with such an excellent classmate like Jing Congxin.

"I wasn't able to go to the academy to study during the first semester. Is there anything wrong with starting over?"

There was a hint of worry in Jing Chunxi's tone. He had originally planned to send Jing Congxin to Wenhua Academy, and had even discussed it with him. However, the impending changes facing the Pingyang Marquisate made that plan useless. After much deliberation, Jing Chunxi decided to write back midway to change his plans.

In her opinion, this was a new blow to Jing Cong. He would definitely be disappointed. After all, children's minds are always fragile.

"What's wrong? He's very happy." Pu Ge'er's voice broke Jing Chunxi's worries, "He said that this way we don't have to waste mother's money."

Jing Chunxi remembered what Jing Congxin said: I can learn well anywhere.

He is indeed a sensible child. Apart from thinking about the financial issue, he might also want to stay in the provincial school so that he can help with some work within his ability.

Pu Geer added, "When Liu Tou heard that he was going to the academy with Xin Ge, he wanted to go with him and see the outside world, but Jing Congxin's plan changed, so he had to stay at home.

At first, he looked a little listless, like an eggplant hit by frost, his head drooping and his eyes filled with disappointment. But after a couple of days, he came to his senses and decided there was plenty of fun to be had at home. He even thought he could learn some skills from Brother Jing, so he resumed his mischievous nature.

Pu Ge'er's words made Jing Chunxi feel much more at ease.

She had been worried that Jing Congxin would be depressed for a while, but now it seemed that the child was mature and sensible, which relieved her a lot of worries.

As for Liutou, Jing Chunxi didn't think it was a big deal. As long as the child had a kind heart, there would be plenty of opportunities for him to develop. As long as he could maintain an optimistic and cheerful disposition, be open-minded, and work hard, he would naturally carve out a niche for himself.

Jing Chunxi took advantage of their conversation to ask Pu Ge'er, "Is there really nothing wrong at home?" She had always felt a pang of worry. Her mother was gentle and usually only reported good news, keeping everything to herself. Jing Chunxi was worried that her mother might be feeling depressed, which would be detrimental to her health if she continued to do so.

My mother has worked so hard to maintain a slightly plump figure and a rosy face. She is beautiful and gentle, showing the charm of a mature young woman. She doesn't want to lose it.

Although Jing Chunxi was away from home, she was always concerned about her family. Her mother's health was what worried her most.

"It's really nothing. I think Brother Jing is a good person." Pu Ge'er said seriously. Although he was young, he was very thoughtful and had a clear understanding of Brother Jing's behavior.

In his eyes, Brother Jing was a reliable person. Even if something really happened, Brother Jing would handle it and would not let his mother worry.

Pu Ge'er's trust in Jing Yi made Jing Chunxi feel a little jealous: "You are optimistic about him!" There was a hint of ridicule and some worry in her tone.

She always felt that Pu Ge'er's evaluation of Jing Yi was a bit too idealistic. Was it a kind of dependence caused by the fact that he had no father?

Pu Ge'er raised his head and said with a firm look: "That's what it is."

As if to prove his point, he began to give examples: "When we had dinner together before the New Year, Brother Jing told Mother that the shop had a little surplus money, so he asked the housekeeper to buy another shop. This was to give Mother more confidence."

Seeing that his sister didn't seem to agree, as if she didn't believe it, Pu Ge'er was a little unhappy. He continued, "There are more! We bought more than a hundred people before the New Year. Some are beggars, and some are disaster victims who ran over from Jiujiang County.

Most of them were between seven and eight years old and eleven or twelve years old, and they were all assigned to the farms, supposedly to be led by veteran soldiers."

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but nod his head at Jing Yi's action. This was more like his master's style, quietly accomplishing great things.

He bought these children to develop and expand the team, for the safety of their family and to gather strength for the Jing family.

Children are young, but they are at the stage of being able to be molded. Letting veterans guide them can not only teach them the skills to survive, but also cultivate their loyalty and tenacity.

Maybe in the future - in the future - I will be able to remain calm in the face of danger.

No wonder Pu Ge'er and the other children in the village admired him so much and followed his lead. Although Jing Yi was not perfect in every aspect, he still had some skills.
