Things have not been going well for Xiao Yuankai recently. All the properties that King An asked him to take care of have suffered losses. There was also a problem with a batch of weapons a while ago. Although he secretly suspected that Mo Yi had done something, he had no evidence.
Even if he secretly attacks Mo Yi, there will be no return. King An's power is no longer what it used to be, so he can only hold back, thinking of secretly using benefits to win over the courtiers and stabilize his position in the court.
Although the sudden death of the late emperor was closely related to King An, in the end, it was still not possible to catch him, so most of the courtiers dared not speak out.
Xiao Yuankai has been to Prince An's Mansion more frequently recently, and he always comes back with a dark face.
I wrote letters to the Hua family and Hua Qingmu from time to time, but they all came to nothing.
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he set off to the suburbs of Beijing to find Hua Qingmu, and he would definitely bring her back.
On the way, the carriage almost hit a well-dressed woman.
He had to get off the carriage to check.
A maid dressed as a man next to the woman scolded: "How brave, you dare to bump into our lady! If our lady does something bad, can you afford to pay for it?"
Xiao Yuankai was furious inside, but in front of everyone, he could only suppress his anger and apologize: "My carriage disturbed the lady, I'm really sorry."
The maid was unreasonable and said: "Apologise! You scared our young lady, and you just want to be done with an apology? Since you are an official, you are going to bully others, right?"
Xiao Yuankai didn't expect that the woman who was her master had become aggressive and angry even before she said anything.
At this moment, the woman raised her head and scolded softly: "Xiaoman, don't be rude."
Then he nodded to Xiao Yuankai and said: "Young master, don't be offended. You didn't mean it, so let's leave it at that. It's my fault that I doted on this girl too much, and spoiled her to the point of being lawless. Xu Lin apologizes to the master on her behalf."
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Xu Lin? The daughter of the famous second-ranked wealthy businessman in Southern Hebei?
Xiao Yuankai's eyes flickered, and then he showed a handsome smile in a graceful manner, and said in a soft tone: "It's not me, but I bumped into Miss Xu. I don't know where Miss Xu's house is, so I came to apologize with a little gift."
Xu Lin smiled slightly, and the smile on her beautiful face remained the same. The tone was as warm as a spring breeze: "Young master, you're welcome, Xu Lin will leave."
He stopped gently and generously, bowed and left with the personal maid dressed as a man.
Xiao Yuankai watched the two people leave and then got on the carriage. He stared in thought for a moment, then ordered the coachman to turn around and return to Xiao's mansion.
"Xiao Shu, you go do something."
……
Hua Qingmu stared at the note in her hand, which was sent by Zhao Yi.
There was only one line on the note.
"Xiao has started investigating Xu."
Jin Tai was kicking so hard in his stomach that Hua Qingmu had no choice but to stand up and walk around the yard, comforting him with her hands.
I hope I can leave Xiao Mansion before Jintai is born.
She wrote on the table for a while, then folded it and put it in an envelope and handed it to Danzhu:
"Danzhu, this letter is sent to the Xu Mansion, in the hands of Miss Xu."
Arlene is her only good friend.
Since marrying Xiao Yuankai in her previous life, she has had less contact with Arlene, who travels all over the world.
Arlene once came to Xiao's house to see her, and once advised her to pay attention to Xiao Yuankai's character. However, she was pregnant with Jintai at that time, and her eyes were full of Xiao Yuankai. Not only could she not listen to her advice, but she thought she was jealous of her marriage. He was a good husband, so he gradually alienated her.
