Despite his reluctance, Xie Yunqi couldn't deny the truth of the matter.

"Yes……"

Xie Yunqi's expression was clearly somewhat embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage to step forward and stop the guards. Xie Yuan, seeing him step forward, looked even more smug.

"Who told you to suddenly come here?"

Xie Yunqi lowered his voice and shouted, "Stop embarrassing me here!"

Hearing this, Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although she felt a little wronged, she didn't dare to argue. Xie Yunqi, on the other hand, was even more impatient. "Just say what you have to say!"

"It's...it's Jiang Yuyue who said she wanted our whole family to move to the Jiang family's house."

Xie Yuan quickly explained the purpose of her visit. Xie Yunqi thought he had misheard and hurriedly asked again, "What did you say?!"

"Jiang Yuyue said she felt sorry for her grandmother and the others living there, and suggested that her mother recognize her as her goddaughter so that our whole family could move into her house..."

Hearing Xie Yuan repeat it, Xie Yunqi was overjoyed.

He was just worried about not having a good opportunity to openly keep an eye on the Jiang residence in order to find the treasure he wanted, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yuyue would bring this up on her own initiative.

In this way, once the Xie family members all move into her house, wouldn't Xie Yunqi also be able to openly and freely enter and leave the Jiang family's house, making it easier for him to find things?

"Since this is her kind intention, you may move in."

Xie Yunqi quickly answered, and Xie Yuan, seeing how readily he agreed, quickly glanced at the princess a little distance away and whispered, "Mother wants me to ask you, brother, whether what we're doing will displease Princess Huajin?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Just let your mother move there without worry."

Xie Yunqi was only happy to have the opportunity to explore the treasure, and he couldn't care less about anything else. "You just go back and tell them that I will explain things to the princess."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan had no choice but to turn back home. She had originally thought that she would get some benefits from making this trip, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even step into the Tongfu Inn. She was even harassed by the guards at the door. What was most regrettable was that her brother didn't even stand up for her!

Xie Yuan became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

But now her eldest brother is the savior of the entire Xie family. Although she has a lot of resentment in her heart, she can only suppress it.

Song Jinwan frowned as she watched Xie Yunqi's so-called sister leave hastily after exchanging a few words with him. "Is she really your sister? What was she doing here?"

"Please excuse my poor appearance, Princess."

Xie Yunqi certainly wouldn't tell Song Jinwan about this now. If she were to interfere, wouldn't that ruin his big plan?

"That person was indeed my sister. She came to tell me that our mother had accidentally fallen, but a doctor has been called over, so she should be fine."

Hearing this, Song Jinwan was skeptical, but thinking of Xie Yuan's disheveled appearance just now, she felt even more contemptuous and disdained to have anything to do with the vulgar Xie family, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he had successfully fooled them, Xie Yunqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xie Yuan returned to the Xie family home, panting, Madam Xie rushed to greet her, "How was it? Did your brother say anything?"

"He said yes."

Exhausted, Xie Yuan said irritably, "Let Mother move there without worry."

Upon hearing this, the Xie family members instantly relaxed. They had thought that the princess would cause them to miss the opportunity to live in a mansion, but they never expected that Xie Yunqi would actually allow it!

"it is good."

Jiang Yuyue was not surprised by this result at all, and just smiled. "In that case, elders, please pack your things quickly. I will go home first and ask someone to prepare a few more carriages to pick you all up and take you to the Jiang family home."

Hearing this, Madam Xie beamed with joy, "Good! Good! We really owe it all to Yue'er, such a wonderful child!"

Jiang Yuyue smiled lightly, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She left the Xie family under the pretext of going home to make arrangements.

The Xie family members immediately began packing up. However, they hadn't brought anything valuable with them when they arrived, so they didn't have much to pack. They only took some personal belongings and waited for Jiang Yuyue to send someone to pick them up.

This scene was witnessed by the spies that Prince Ning, Song Yunming, had placed in the Xie family, and they immediately reported the matter to Song Yunming.

"Your Highness, it seems that Jiang Yuyue intends to bring the Xie family to live at the Jiang residence, and Xie Yunqi seems to have agreed to this."

Upon hearing this, Song Yunming frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Could there really be such a kind-hearted woman in this world?

Although Song Yunming and Jiang Yuyue didn't have much contact and had only met once formally, judging from her personality, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would wholeheartedly help her ex-husband's family after being divorced from her husband who had married a princess.

Could it be that Jiang Yuyue's feelings for Xie Yunqi are so deep that even after being betrayed by him, she is still willing to stay by his side and take care of his family?

What kind of bewitching potion did Xie Yunqi give her?

After a moment's thought, Song Yunming asked, "Has Xie Yunqi shown any unusual behavior lately?"

"Your Highness, apart from the last time he went to the Xie family with you, he has been with the princess almost all the time, and there is nothing wrong with him."

Hearing his subordinate's reply, Song Yunming felt even more puzzled. Xie Yunqi must have been well aware of his sister Song Jinwan's temperament these days. He had risked Song Jinwan's wrath by agreeing to let the Xie family move into the Jiang family's house. Could it be...?

Could it be that he also learned that the treasure is currently in the Jiang family's possession?!

Thinking of this, Song Yunming tightened his grip on the folding fan. Even though it was just a baseless guess, he was determined to get that treasure and couldn't afford any mishaps along the way.

"Send more people to keep an eye on the Xie family, especially Xie Yunqi."

Song Yunming said in a deep voice, "Report immediately if anything happens, without fail."

"Yes."

……

After Jiang Yuyue returned to the Jiang family residence, she immediately sent several carriages to pick up the Xie family members, just as she had promised, and also arranged accommodations for them.

"Old Madam Xie will stay in the room where Grandmother is staying, while Master Xie and Madam Xie will stay in the room where Mother and Father are staying. The rest of the guests can be accommodated in the guest rooms as they wish."

As for Xie Jinglan's residence, Jiang Yuyue still arranged it in a place closest to her courtyard.
