Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 289 Huang Family Died Suddenly
Hearing her mention the prefect of Xuzhou, Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, and immediately remembered the robbers taken away by Prefect Yuan when she just got off the boat.

She subconsciously looked at Prince Duan who was standing beside her. He knew the truth from Scarface Yu, so he should have met the prefect of Xuzhou, right?

As if he noticed her gaze, Xiao Yi suddenly looked towards her.

His eyes were deep, with a hint of inquiry in them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she quickly lowered her head and took a sip of the milk and Poria cocos cream that Su Wanwan handed to her.

Well, you know what, it tastes really good.

In ancient times, only royal relatives and nobles were qualified to enjoy this milk and Poria cocos cream. Since cows were the labor force of farmers and could not be slaughtered at will, the price of milk was extremely expensive, and usually only wealthy people with status and position could afford it.

When eaten with milk, Poria cocos can promote the absorption of nutrients such as protein in milk, making it especially suitable for pregnant women.

The prefect of Xuzhou is really good at giving gifts.

As Jiang Xiaoxiao ate, her thoughts drifted away.

I still have to find a way to meet with Governor Xie. Only in this way can I get news about Shen Que.

I heard from the prefect of Xuzhou that Governor Xie had also come to Xuzhou...

"Sister Wanwan, I discussed with mother last night. We can't help you. We came to Xuzhou for important matters. After this meal, we will leave..." Jiang Xiaoxiao considered and said word by word the words she had thought of last night.

When Su Wanwan heard that they were leaving, she immediately became anxious: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you tell me and I'll send someone to help you do it."

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at her mother.

Jiang Wei's face was calm, and his tone was calm, without any disturbance: "Princess Duan, there is no need to be like this. We still want to solve our own problems ourselves, so there is no need to trouble you."

Su Wanwan heard that Jiang Weilian's way of addressing her had changed and his attitude had become distant and cold, completely unlike the friendly manner he had been on the merchant ship before. She couldn't help but feel depressed and uncomfortable.

"I understand..." She lowered her head, with a look of loss on her face, and said in a muffled voice: "I know I shouldn't keep pestering you, but I just hope someone can stay with me for a few more days..."

Xiao Yi, who was standing next to her, looked at her and frowned unconsciously.

He said coldly, "Do you want to see the prefect of Xuzhou?"

He used chopsticks to pick up the food and put it into Su Wanwan's bowl, saying, "If you want to see him, you can stay with Wanwan in the courtyard, and I will ask him to come over."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

It’s good to have imperial power.

"Since Lord Duan has spoken, I will tell you the truth." Jiang Wei knew that Lord Duan was not someone who could be easily fooled, so he simply said, "In addition to business matters, the purpose of our trip is to meet Governor Xie."

"Governor Xie did not come. He is not in Xuzhou." Xiao Yi uttered a few words in a calm voice.

This time, even Jiang Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

Governor Xie is not in Xuzhou?
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the prefect of Xuzhou say at the dock earlier that he was following the orders of Governor Xie..."

"I borrowed the name of Governor Xie and asked the prefect of Xuzhou to meet you at the dock." Xiao Yi glanced at Su Wanwan who was also surprised. "I made two preparations. If Wanwan doesn't go with Xiao Er, then I will let the prefect of Xuzhou arrange her to a safe place on my behalf."

"..." Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless again.

I hope you have prepared everything...

Su Wanwan was stunned: "So, the robbers were actually taken away by your people? What did you do to them?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Yi glanced at her.

Su Wanwan immediately shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that he would say something about being turned into a human pig... Jiang Xiaoxiao was helpless.

Since Prince Duan thought of using the name of Governor Xie, he must have checked their identities clearly.

Then their relationship with Shen Que is not...

Jiang Xiaoxiao was still hesitating, but Jiang Wei had already spoken: "If that's the case, then I don't have to hide it. May I ask Prince Duan, where is Shen Que now?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Su Wanwan.

At this moment, Su Wanwan was also looking at him with a thirst for knowledge.

She also wanted to know where Shen Que was.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth secretly and didn't want to say anything.

"A few months ago, the second son of the Shen family returned to Beijing with a group of people, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred on the way."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao's breathing suddenly tightened. Did Shen Que have an accident on the way back to Beijing with the Huang family? !

Xiao Yi took two bites of food before continuing calmly, "That group of people were protecting a few criminals. They were probably blocked by bandits and died suddenly... As for Shen Que, his whereabouts are unknown, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead."

"You, what did you say!?" Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up from the chair.

A member of the Huang family died suddenly on the way back to the capital? !
That is the only thing that can prove the real reason for General Shen’s death!
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
It is unknown whether Shen Que is alive or dead, and his whereabouts are unknown. So is the evidence he carried with him... that copper wine cup, still there?
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts came to Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind.

There wouldn't be such a coincidence in the world. Could it be that those guys in the capital sent someone to assassinate me?

Jiang Wei was much calmer. She said calmly, "From what Prince Duan said, it seems that he knows that Lord Shen is fine."

"Haha, this Madam Jiang is a smart person." Xiao Yi laughed twice. "The court sent many people to look for him. I also sent people to look for him, but apart from those bodies, there is no trace of him. I guess he is probably still alive, hiding somewhere to bide his time."

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

"Does Prince Duan know where Lord Shen is hiding?" Jiang Wei asked again.

This time Xiao Yi shook his head.

"If his hiding place was so easy to find, the imperial court wouldn't have sent people to assassinate you."

Hearing this, Jiang Wei's eyes darkened.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's face didn't look good either.

Sure enough, when those people failed to find Shen Que's whereabouts, they set their sights on them.

I just don't know whether they captured them to force Shen Que out or for the tiger talisman... probably both.

"Assassination? What assassination?" Su Wanwan, who was kept in the dark, was puzzled. "Aren't those the robbers that Yu Ying'er hired to kidnap me?"

Xiao Yi: "..."

He reached out and pulled Su Wanwan's hand, his tone a little playful: "So, have you thought about how to punish that maid? Cut off her feet or remove the tendons of her hands?"

"You, you pervert!" Su Wanwan was so scared that she shook his hand off.

Xiao Yi rested his chin on his head and looked at her: "Then how about sending her back to the Su family?"
