Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Perhaps he can calmly accept the mistakes he has made.

Arrogance, self-satisfaction, egotistical.

But he couldn't accept that Da Huang had suffered this final pain because of him.

After saying this, Xia Youmi saw that Wang Shaoyan was unable to react and knew that he might be able to regain his senses.

So I didn't linger, gave the shopkeeper a few instructions, and went home. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so I should spend more time with my mother.

Xia Youmi isn't a saint, but she doesn't want to get involved.

Therefore, the arduous investigation is well worth it if it brings them a peaceful family life in the future. As long as my second brother can sever ties with the Yang family, given the Song family's current attitude, they can be protected and kept safe.

After that, she stopped caring.

My second brother did not participate in the Ministry of Personnel's winter selection process, thus forfeiting his achievement.

Two years later, he passed the imperial examination for mathematics again. This was a niche subject, mainly testing knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, and usually resulted in lower-ranking official positions, not highly regarded in official careers. However, he unexpectedly became colleagues with Supervisor Zhou, a member of the lower ninth rank.

The second brother even went to the Yang family in person to cancel the engagement, which angered them.

But somehow he seemed quite agreeable. He infuriated that family, who wanted to cause trouble. But in the end, the exam was so unconventional that they had no reason to interfere. Besides, it wasn't like he was without backing—it was their arch-enemy!

The second and eldest brothers got drunk and started talking amongst themselves.

Finally, they even got a new wooden tablet for Dahuang, standing right next to the one Xia Youmi made. They wanted it to be superior in terms of luxury and refinement, just to express their apology.

......

Winter of the seventeenth year of the Qiyuan era.

We've arrived at the ending of the original story.

In three days, the male lead will lead his troops back to the capital. The female lead, who will accompany him, will be rescued by the male lead and his male co-star after the female supporting character is kidnapped. Afterwards, the blame is shifted to the thug Xia Youmi. Simply because she happened to be involved and has a bad reputation, she is killed without any explanation. The ruthless male supporting character doesn't even spare his family and dog!

Fortunately, the current situation is quite different from the plot description.

She was a well-known unofficial staff member of the county government.

The ambassador of steamed buns in the gangster world!

A master of beggar makeup!

Although she dressed as a man, everyone who came into contact with her knew that she was a violent young woman.

At the same time, he is Zhang Gong's disciple, the princess's close friend, Song Langjun's rumored lover, and Zhao County Magistrate's capable servant!

They are all very prestigious and well-known names.

At last,

She didn't have a dog in Chang'an.

......

recently.

There are three major events in Chang'an.

The first event was the triumphant return of the mighty general to the capital, with the people lining the streets to cheer.

The second thing is that Princess Yile was infatuated with the general and abandoned her fiancé.

Thirdly, the general was willing to relinquish his military power for the sake of his beloved little doctor.

The rumors were a mix of truth and falsehood, sparking much discussion among the public.

Xia Youmi once asked the princess why she wasn't getting married. The princess replied that she didn't know either. There were always unexpected events that occurred just when they were about to set a date, causing the wedding to be postponed.

Perhaps the plot is trying to force a happy ending by making her the villain. Xia Youmi can only remind her to be careful of those around her.

But even now, rumors still circulate that Song Ningqian is infatuated with the male lead. This proves that those in the shadows are indeed determined to drag the Song family down with them.

Before the incident.

Xia Youmi had instructed all the thugs and beggars she knew in Chang'an not to cause trouble or resort to underhanded tactics, and to support mutual reporting. The Zhu brothers were to keep an eye on the General's Mansion, especially the gate through which the female lead could enter and exit. She herself never acted alone, but always called Wuzi and went in and out with the constables from the county government to create an alibi.

The atmosphere was very much like playing house, and I hope she was making a mountain out of a molehill.

On the day of the incident.

Xia Youmi had convinced her family not to worry about her return. If any unusual noises were heard, they were to hide in the pre-arranged cellar. They were not to show themselves; traps had been prepared under the courtyard wall to buy time if anyone tried to climb over. She asked Zhao Xin if her uncle's absence from duty indicated something might have happened at home, and requested that someone be sent to check on him. The others went their separate ways the next day.

Basically, everything has been considered.

However, nothing happened all day, and the constables who were with her were all preparing to leave their posts.

Helpless, she could only take Wuzi to the vicinity of the General's Mansion to inquire about Zhu Liu's situation. Before they even got close, they saw Zhu Wu running over in a panic. As soon as he saw Xia Youmi, he grabbed her and ran, barely able to breathe.

"What's going on? Where's Zhu Liu?"

At this moment, the evening drum sounds, signaling that the gates of the neighborhood are about to close.

They continued running south without stopping, until they reached the Mingde Gate.

"Liu Lang gave chase!"

"There were indeed some thugs who robbed the general's mansion, but I couldn't see their faces clearly."

"Can you identify who kidnapped them?" Xia Youmi asked.

"Never seen them before, just two people, one fat and one thin, both experts!"

"The brothers pretended to be chivalrous and rushed forward, only to be kicked away! Only Liu Lang was a bit more agile and managed to follow!"

Was hesitating.

It cannot be ruled out that Zhu Wu deliberately wanted to lure her out of the city.

"Hey! Don't say it."

Zhu Wu suddenly remembered something and looked at the two of them.

Xia Youmi had a premonition and asked first:

"Do you think the robbers look similar to us?"

Zhu Wu clapped his hands and praised repeatedly:

"that is!"

"The clothes are all the same color! At first, I almost thought you were the ones who took them away. They look so alike, even with their faces covered!"

No, she just randomly picked her clothes today. That means someone deliberately spotted them loitering during the day to use a stand-in for the crime.

"Zhu Liu has left the city?"

"this......"

Zhu Wu hesitated; in fact, he had lost track of the others and was just about to report it when he saw Xia Youmi. Without thinking too much, he pulled her back to where they had lost her. At this point, it was truly uncertain whether they had left the city.

The situation is urgent; even if it's just for Zhu Liu's safety, we must find him as soon as possible.

"Are there any dilapidated temples in this city?"

"No, they're all outside!"

Xia Youmi's own database also showed no such presence in the city, but she was still worried about things being overlooked. Perhaps some places she hadn't visited in years had become dilapidated?

But she couldn't fall into habitual thinking; who says that kidnapping someone means taking them to a dilapidated temple?

Moreover, this might simply be a frame-up. It could be an attempt to incite the general's anger against the civil officials, or it could be aimed at the Song family.

Their original intention was simply to clear themselves of suspicion; they didn't necessarily have to rescue the female lead. But now that the hot-blooded Zhu Liu had followed them, they had to find her in time to prevent any unforeseen events.

She didn't have to wait long before she found an acquaintance.

Those were city gate guards; they had some acquaintance with them. They asked him a few questions, inquiring whether he had seen someone like Zhu Liu leave the city.

Since the maid's disappearance, she had consciously cultivated a relationship with the guards. It wasn't particularly close; she mainly relied on the influence of the Wannian County government, using the pretext of assisting in the investigation to gain their support. Fortunately, it came in handy.

The guards denied that Zhu Liu and people who looked like them had left the city.

Then, we're very close.

It should still be somewhere south of Chang'an. This area consists of large residential areas, and there are many vacant spaces, making it a suburban area.

Without much thought, Xia Youmi led the two of them westward to search.

The western part is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County.

In the original storyline, the case was handled by the Chang'an County Government. Therefore, the incident must have occurred within this jurisdiction.

With this in mind, Xia Youmi headed straight for Yongyangfang.

They managed to sneak in just before the gates closed.
