Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Upon hearing the door open, Cui Yi adjusted her breathing and concealed herself even more deeply.

The woodshed was only used by servants to move firewood, making it the best hiding place.

Unexpectedly, the newcomer also made a rustling sound and burrowed in his direction, making Cui Yi tense up.

He cursed under his breath: "I must have forgotten to check the almanac before I went out today, nothing is going right!"

Cui cursed under his breath, but he moved even more carefully, hiding deeper into the firewood.

After hiding, Cui Yi coldly looked ahead, thinking that the newcomers had better have some sense and get out of there as soon as they had the firewood.

Otherwise, don't blame him!

Zhenzhen ran into the woodshed, looked around, but couldn't find a good place to hide.

Hearing Zhou Chenggong's voice outside, indicating that he had started looking for them, Zhenzhen moved the firewood aside, squatted down, and then placed the firewood in front of her to block the view.

When Cui Yi came to inquire about Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen was wearing a mask. Now that the mask has been removed, although the face is different, the figure is very similar.

Looking at Zhenzhen, Cui Yi felt a surge of familiarity.

He couldn't help but scrutinize Zhenzhen more closely, examining her from head to toe.

Zhenzhen heard Zhou Chenggong's footsteps outside and realized he had left the vicinity, so she decided to find another place to hide.

The woodshed was dusty and smelled bad; Wangcai must have sneaked in there to poop again!

She moved the firewood aside, crouched down and came out, then turned around and put the firewood back in its original place.

Cui Yiben had been watching Zhenzhen the whole time, and the moment she turned around, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"lady……"

Cui Yi murmured something, then realized her current situation and immediately covered her mouth.

Fortunately, his voice wasn't loud.

Zhenzhen had opened the door a crack and was nervously looking outside to confirm whether Zhou Chenggong had really left.

Therefore, they did not notice Cui Yi hiding deep in the pile of firewood behind them.

After Zhenzhen left the woodshed, Cui Yi could no longer control himself and began to gasp for breath.

Then, in his excitement, he almost slapped the firewood in front of him away.

He was a master at gathering intelligence, and in an instant he realized that Zhenzhen must have used some method to conceal her face last time, which was why he hadn't discovered her.

Today, by a twist of fate, he discovered his true identity, so Cui Yi no longer needs to wait until tonight to go to the one-armed beggar's house to find out who he really is.

He must be the wet nurse who abducted the young lady!

Thinking about the one-armed beggar's appearance, it turns out she really was a woman dressed as a man, and she did it so convincingly that she even went into the men's restroom.

Cui felt a chill run down his spine...

Tell the young master about this quickly. He'll be overjoyed when he finds out, and then he can ask the young master for some reward money!

Cui Yi excitedly slipped out of the woodshed and headed towards the Cui family home, unaware that a pair of bright eyes were watching his retreating figure from the room next door.

After leaving Xujia Village, Cui Yi spurred his horse on, changing horses twice along the way, and finally returned to the Cui residence before the curfew in the prefectural city.

Without even knocking, Cui Yi pushed the door open and entered.

Cui Yifeng, who was still sitting at his desk reading, glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Have you forgotten the rules?"

Cui picked up the teapot on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and said breathlessly:

"Young master, when you hear the news I brought back, you'll definitely forget about punishing me and will even reward me with silver."

Cui Yifeng remained in the same position, his tone even more like a gentle breeze: "Oh? Tell me about it?"

Knowing him well, Cui Yi flinched slightly, then immediately stopped being coy and stood up respectfully to report, "Your subordinate has found Miss."

With a single sentence, Cui Yifeng's facade crumbled. He first looked at Cui Yi to confirm whether what he said was what he had heard.

Cui Yi said with absolute certainty:

"She looked exactly like a miniature version of the lady; I'm sure I wouldn't mistake her for someone else."

I ran so hard to get back before curfew, my legs are practically giving out, and all I get is a sip of water, and the young master treats me like this.

Cui Yifeng laughed genuinely and said in an urgent tone:

"Very good, very good, a generous reward awaits! Where is Miss? Why didn't you bring her back?"

Cui Yi suddenly remembered that the young master had asked him to investigate Xu Zhenzhen from the very beginning, and what he had said back then...

Now that the young master has been told that Zhenzhen is the young lady, I wonder if this will offset his good deeds and bad ones. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so smug!

Cui Yi, having lost his initial arrogance, honestly replied, "She is Madam Xu's adopted daughter, Xu Zhenzhen."

Cui Yifeng jumped to his feet, overjoyed: "It really is her! I knew it! Mother, I found my little sister! I found my little sister!"

Cui Yifeng paced back and forth in the study, almost ecstatic: "Someone come here."

The maidservant who was attending to him outside the door entered with her head bowed and knelt in front of the desk: "What are your orders, young master?"

"Go and clean the young lady's room again, rearrange it, and have the embroiderer come over to prepare a new autumn dress for her..."

Cui Yifeng gave instructions one by one, afraid of missing anything.

The maids and servants of the Cui family, who had already gone to bed, got up again and carried out the young master's orders one by one.

"Cui Yi, prepare the horses immediately, we're going to fetch Miss back."

Cui Yi groaned in despair, but could only cautiously offer a reminder:

"Young master, curfew is in effect now, and Miss should be resting by now. Why don't you get some rest too, and go pick her up early tomorrow morning?"

Cui Yifeng picked up the now-cold tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, which calmed him down a bit.

“I’m going to light incense for my mother and tell her that my little sister has been found.”

The mansion suddenly became lively. Old Madam Cui frowned, sat up in bed, and said wearily:

"Xiangxiu, what's going on outside? It's so noisy."

Xiangxiu lit the candlesticks on the table, walked to the old lady's bedside, and lifted the bed curtains:

"Madam, Miss has been found. Young Master is instructing everyone in the mansion to clean up in preparation for Miss's return home."

"Miss? What miss?"

The old lady's slow-witted mind didn't react for a moment.

Xiangxiu lowered her head, her voice tinged with resentment: "The deceased lady's lost daughter..."

The old lady suddenly shouted, "What kind of young lady is that slut's child? I don't agree! Don't bring her back! Where's the young master? Let him come see me! Cough cough cough cough..."

Overcome with emotion, Madam Cui felt an unbearable itch in her throat and began to cough violently.

While patting the old lady's back to help her catch her breath and handing her a cup of tea at just the right temperature, Xiangxiu said helplessly:

"You know perfectly well that the young master has always wanted to find the young lady. Now that he has finally found her, how could he possibly listen to you and not bring her back?"

Madam, please don't be anxious. After all, you are the elder. Miss grew up in the countryside and it's inevitable that she has some bad habits.

When the time comes, the young master will be busy with business matters, how will he have time to care about these things? You'll have to worry about them all.

"Then the young lady can be raised in the backyard, right under your nose. That's much better than you arguing with the young master now, and him leaving the young lady outside, isn't it?"

Xiangxiu calmly analyzed the pros and cons for the old lady and offered suggestions:

"When the time comes, she'll be in your hands, and you can do whatever you want with her..."

Therefore, you absolutely must not argue with the young master now. The old lady also needs to let him know that the young lady has been found, and that he is very happy about it.”
