"You've been playing tricks on my eldest uncle, and my grandfather and third uncle weren't very clear in their letters. If the venue wasn't suitable, it's not my eldest uncle's fault."

Jing Changjiang frowned, with a hint of complaint in his tone.

After saying this, Jing Changjiang pretended to be dusty and aggrieved, with a sly look in his eyes. He deliberately lowered his head and sighed, as if feeling that his fate was unfair.

Seeing him like this, Jing Chunxi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes. She slapped her thigh while laughing and said, "Uncle, you are really so convincing!"

"That's because my grandfather and the others know that my uncle is smart and that you can definitely get it done, so they are so confident." Jing Chunxi finally stopped laughing, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but more of it was trust in Jing Changjiang.

She knew that her uncle was always resourceful, and although this task was difficult, it would definitely be accomplished in his hands.

"Little girl, just brag. We'll stay in the village tonight and go up the mountain tomorrow. I have to let you take a look first. If it's not suitable, your uncle will find a way." Jing Changjiang was amused by Jing Chunxi, but there was still a bit of pampering on his face.

He sighed, his tone filled with a hint of helplessness, but more of determination: "Let's go up the mountain tomorrow and see what that place is like. If it's not suitable, I'll find another way."

"As long as there are mountains, a large enough site, a stream, and enough water for gold mining, there is nothing unsuitable."

"There must be a stream. It rains a lot here all year round, except in autumn when it rains less. It rains almost every day in the mountains. We are afraid that the ore will be washed away by floods, so we dare not choose a place too low to pile it. You will know when you see it tomorrow." Jing Changjiang nodded, with a firm look in his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance, as if he had already seen the scene of tomorrow.

"Let's go. Someone will come out to take you into the village. The prince and I will go in later." Jing Changjiang said this to Jing Chunxi in a low voice.

He looked around and confirmed that no one noticed them before he whispered, "The prince's identity cannot be exposed for the time being. Wait until everything is settled."

In reality, the three of them had already discussed it in the car. Xu Zize could come down wearing a mask, but his true identity couldn't be revealed to anyone yet. They would wait until everything settled down and his people arrived. However, they also wanted to keep the information known to as few people as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.

Jing Chunxi nodded, his eyes showing some understanding, and whispered: "Uncle, don't worry, I will be careful."

……

"Miss, the general must have sent someone back to arrange it first. We didn't need to report how many rooms there were or how many rooms were assigned. We were just brought in and moved in. There was nothing wrong at all." After being brought into the courtyard where they lived and she and Hongfen made the bed for Jing Chunxi, Chuntao went out for a walk and came back with these few words.

There was a hint of excitement on her face, and a hint of pride in her eyes, "Miss, the general is really amazing. He has arranged everything."

"That's good to know. My uncle has arranged everything along the way, so you don't have to worry too much. Hurry up and pack your things. I'm afraid we'll have to go eat soon."

"Miss, not so fast. I went to check in the kitchen courtyard. There is enough meat tonight, but not many vegetables. I will ask Xiaoman to pick some wild vegetables to make soup. Hongfen, you are responsible for making the bed!" Chuntao said without waiting for Hongfen's response. She ran out in a hurry and disappeared again.

She moved quickly, as if she was afraid of wasting time. Her figure quickly disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, leaving Hongfen alone there in a daze.

"With Tang Shuang away, Chun Tao is jumping around." Jing Chunxi shook her head, a look of helplessness in her eyes. She looked at Hong Fen and whispered, "Hong Fen, you should go and get settled too. We'll go for a walk later."

"It's not a big job. It will only take a quarter of an hour to make the bed and put away the daily necessities. Miss, please wait for me. We will go out for a walk later." Hongfen nodded, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

She had already decided that she had to drag the young lady out as well. If the young lady didn't go out, she would have to keep her from leaving the house.

After saying this, she went to the side room, moving quickly, fearing to waste time.

"Miss," Jing Chunxi heard a knock on the door and looked out, only to see Xiao Man walking in. There was a hint of nervousness on his face, and a hint of caution in his eyes.

He looked around and confirmed that no one noticed them before he whispered, "Miss, Qingfeng and the others haven't arrived yet, so let me serve the prince first!"

"Didn't Chuntao ask you to go pick wild vegetables? Why didn't you go?" Jing Chunxi felt strange when he saw Xiaoman come in. Especially his words and actions, it seemed as if he was inviting her to be a thief.

"Miss, Brother Qingfeng and Brother Luying haven't arrived yet, so let me serve the prince first!" Xiaoman repeated it to Jing Chunxi again. This time, she laughed very naturally, with a bit of flattering meaning, which stunned Jing Chunxi.

There was a hint of naiveté in his smile, and a hint of sincerity in his eyes. He glanced at Jing Chunxi, leaned closer, and whispered, "Miss, I know the prince is not dead."

"Prince? Where is he?" Seeing Xiao Man's serious expression, Jing Chunxi was a little suspicious about how he knew. No, no, it should be just a test or a guess! There was a bit of surprise on her face, and a bit of vigilance in her eyes. She looked at Xiao Man and asked in a low voice: "What did you say?"

"The prince just arrived, and the general took him to the side courtyard." Seeing that the young lady did not deny it, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief. There was a hint of excitement on his face, and a bit of determination in his eyes. He looked at Jing Chunxi and whispered, "Miss, I know that the prince is not dead. I always felt that the prince would not die so easily."

Ever since they rented the courtyard in Tanxiang, Xiaoman had been paying close attention to the young lady's moods and every move. She saw the young lady enter the east room with Kuaijiao, Qingfeng, and Luying, and then not come out for nine days straight, before the King of Yan arrived. This was already suspicious.

At every meal, when the young lady received the food from Chuntao and Hongfen, he would hide in a place where the young lady couldn't see him and observe. He would even be interested in taking a look at the toilet that was brought out.

He saw that the young lady's eyes had tears but were not red or swollen, and she did not look too sad. Moreover, when she walked out of the house, she was always energetic and moved freely.

The young lady and the prince had such a close relationship, even better than that of siblings. When the prince was assassinated, the young lady didn't burst into tears or wail. The young lady wasn't thin at all, but rather full of energy. How could that be possible?

So he was absolutely certain that the prince was not dead. His voice was very firm, "Miss, the prince's injuries are definitely not fully healed. Please let me serve him first!" His eyes were firm, as if he had already made up his mind, and his tone was almost pleading.

He looked at Jing Chunxi and whispered, "Miss, don't worry, I won't say anything."

The prince was seriously injured, there was no doubt about that, so how could he do without someone to serve him? There were still several people around him to serve him!

Thinking of this, Jing Chunxi looked at Xiaoman and had already made up his mind.
