Chapter 237 Wei Chan is so awesome!

"Looking at the route he took, he was definitely fleeing to Northern Xinjiang. We also found Northern Xinjiang household registration documents on him."

When Wei Chan talked about these things, she seemed like a different person, with a serious expression and a determined look in her eyes.

She doesn't look like a lady, but more like a general.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "But..."

"What?" Xie Yao looked at Wei Chan encouragingly, signaling her not to hesitate.

Wei Chan said, "I always feel that his actions are a little too obvious." Wei Chan frowned slightly and added, "This is just my intuition..."

Xie Yao took the action track from Wei Chan, looked at it carefully for a long time, and handed it to Xiao Ji expressionlessly, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji suppressed his smile, lowered his eyelids slightly, took it, and then nodded slightly, "I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first, but after Ah Chan reminded me, it does look a bit weird."

"This person's actions are sometimes covert and sometimes obvious, as if he is deliberately leaving traces."

"If someone pointed out the hidden place, then someone should have discovered the obvious place, but no one did. This means..."

Xie Yaohui answered this question. She looked at Wei Chan approvingly and said, "It is very likely that someone deliberately wanted to leave traces for us."

Wei Chan nodded slightly, a smile on her face.

Xiao Ji looked at this scene and felt that something was wrong. He turned his eyes slightly and met Pei Chen's. Xiao Ji then silently withdrew his gaze.

"Cough." He coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Ning."

"If Lin Xiangwen was the one who left the flaw on purpose, then what was she really trying to hide?" When Pei Chen asked this, his eyes focused on Wei Chan.

Wei Chan shook her head, "I have sent a message to have people intensify the search in Snow City."

Xie Yao then realized that something was wrong and looked at Wei Chan in surprise.

Xiao Ji said: "Achan, why don't you reintroduce your identity to the Crown Princess."

Wei Chan smiled shyly and said, "It's nothing serious, just a few battles."

Xie Yao remained skeptical, but she felt that it must not be that simple.

She recalled the last time Wei Chan taught her archery... raised her eyes and asked, "Could it be that... the famous General Wei in the Zhenbei Army is not the second cousin, but you?"

Wei Chan and Wei Er are twins, so it makes sense that they look alike.

Wei Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Crown Princess, you really think too much. Although I have fought a few battles, I was mostly responsible for things in the dark."

However, she and her elder brother both participated in Wei Er's famous victories.

Xie Yao then retracted her gaze and nodded thoughtfully, "I thought..."

Pei Chen said something fair, "Although Miss Wei San is not, she is definitely not worse than Miss Wei Er."

Xie Yao immediately praised: "That's right, our Achan is the best."

Her bright eyes were full of anticipation, which made Wei Chan blush and her back straighten a little.

Xiao Ji glanced at Wei Chan, silently put his arm around Xie Yao's waist, and said, "... Let's talk about Lin Xiangwen's matter."

Wei Chan said: "Lin Xiangwen is already on his way back to Beijing. It will take at least half a month to get there."

Not to mention that the distance between Snow City in the northern border and the capital is far, and there may be pursuers from Xiao Ning along the way.

Xiao Ji said decisively: "Let Lei Dian deliver a token from Lin Xiangwen first to test the Lin family's attitude."

After he finished speaking, he whispered to Xie Yao, "Lei Dian is the Saker Falcon."

Xie Yao understood.

The eagle tamed by the eldest son of the Wei family.

"Yes." Wei Chan nodded immediately. She was about to leave when Xie Yao hurriedly called her, "Achan, wait."

Pei Chen understood and immediately turned around and walked out.

There were only three people left in the room, and Xie Yao said, "Achan, didn't you tell me last time that Weichan might indeed have someone who was not in the family tree..."

Wei Chan's eyelids twitched, and she gave the answer before Xie Yao could speak, "...Shu Fei?"

Xie Yao's pupils slightly widened, "You know?"

Wei Chan had a complicated expression. "I guessed it. After you told me about it last time, I secretly inquired about it and wondered why you asked about it."

"Shufei... is the only candidate I can think of. The look she gave me occasionally before... is not right."

It’s not that Concubine Shu didn’t hide it well, but both Wei Chan and Xie Yao were very sensitive to other people’s gazes and looks.

Because they were talking about family matters, Wei Chan did not call her the Crown Princess, but cousin-in-law.

Xie Yao sighed softly, and Xiao Ji also had a complicated expression. He said, "Even though you know about this, just pretend you don't know, so as not to harm your aunt."

Hearing Xiao Ji's address, Wei Chan understood everything and immediately pursed her lips and nodded, "Don't worry, cousin."

After talking about family matters, Wei Chan left the Prince's Mansion to deliver the message.

Although the Saker Falcon is very fast, it is still a long distance away. There is no time to waste. Delay will lead to changes. She has always been a decisive person.

Wei Chan had just left when Pei Chen came back.

At that time, Xie Yao was reading the news report that Si Nan had just sent back. Just one look at it, and her eyes turned cold.

Even though she had doubts and speculations in her heart, Xie Yao still felt sad when it really happened before her eyes.

When Xiao Ji saw that something was wrong, he immediately came over to take a look, but his eyes were calm, "Birds of a feather."

"What?" Pei Chen's voice came from outside the window, "The Crown Princess is talking about me and His Highness?"

It can be heard that Pei Chen feels extremely resentful about what Xie Yao just said.

The coldness in Xie Yao's eyes was somewhat dispelled by these words, and she handed the memorial to Pei Chen, "Have a look at this, Marquis Zhenbei."

Pei Chen finished reading it and said, "Such trash is really not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with Your Highness and me!"

The message in the letter was nothing else...

However, under their guidance, Xiao An caught Xiao Ning's weakness, but not only did he not report it truthfully, but he followed Xiao Ning's tail and continued to do what Xiao Ning did before.

Exploiting the people!

"Isn't Xiao An afraid that Xiao Ning will bite him back?" Pei Chen was so angry that he laughed.

Xie Yao lowered her eyes, "Money can move people's hearts. Xiao An's supporters don't have very rich people. He must be able to make money."

"Besides, he is betting that Xiao Ning is also involved in this matter and will not expose it."

In the final analysis, it's like walking on a tightrope. If you're not careful, you'll fall off... and be smashed to pieces.

Xiao Ji nodded and looked at Xie Yao, "Still waiting?"

Xie Yao shook her head, "I can't wait any longer."

"If they continue to build like this, who knows how many people will suffer!"

Xiao Ji let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief and nodded, "That's what I meant, too."

After a pause, he looked at Pei Chen and said, "Another job."

And it’s a big job.

Pei Chen knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I accept your orders!"

The three of them discussed some follow-up details before Pei Chen left the Prince's Mansion.

It was getting dark here. Xie Yao and Xiao Ji dismissed everyone and walked towards the main courtyard side by side, holding a lantern.

The summer evening breeze brought a hint of refreshing coolness, and Xie Yao felt as if all the fatigue in her body was blown away. She tilted her head slightly and leaned on Xiao Ji's shoulder.

A peaceful and tranquil heart...it's so nice.

Xiao Ji held the lantern in one hand and put his other arm around Xie Yao's waist. Feeling her leaning against him, the corners of his lips turned up with happiness.

Suddenly, he frowned, his throat rolled, and he looked away as if nothing had happened.

No one spoke for a long time.

"Your Highness?" Xie Yao felt something was wrong, so she called out and turned her head to look at him.

Xiao Ji subconsciously turned the lantern to another direction so that Xie Yao could not see his face clearly. He hummed, held Xie Yao in his arms and continued to move forward.

The two returned to the main courtyard and had dinner together.

Zhu Qing then said, "Crown Princess, the person I sent to track down the second young lady's body said that the second young lady's body... has not been found..."

"What's going on?" Xie Yao frowned.

Zhu Qing was very worried and said, "It wasn't long after they threw them into the mass grave. When we went to look for them again, the bodies were gone. Maybe they were taken away by wild dogs or wolves..."

Xie Yao took a deep breath and said, "Look again."

Don't cause her any more trouble...

"Yes." Zhu Qing responded and immediately turned around to make arrangements. Just as she reached the door, Xie Yao said again, "Wait."

Zhu Qing immediately stopped and Xie Yao said, "Burn down the courtyard where Xie Yujiao lived."

Regardless of whether it will cause her trouble or not, it’s always a good idea to get rid of these things first.

Even if that happens... there will be no evidence in the future.

That night, a big fire broke out in Xie Yao's villa. Because it was a dry summer day, the fire was extremely large. By the time the fire was put out, the courtyard where Xie Yujiao had lived had been reduced to ashes.

However, Xie Yujiao had long faded from everyone's sight, the Xie family would not care, and the Song family was busy with their own affairs, so no one cared about this matter.

More attention was paid to the fire.

Even if Xiao Ning didn't care too much, firstly, Xie Yujiao had been squeezed dry by her, and she had found new prey.

Second, she has been extremely busy lately, with things coming one after another...she really has no time to spare.

Xie Yujiao died quietly like this.

It was rare that the capital was peaceful again, but this kind of peace made people feel inexplicably dangerous.

Xie Yao woke up early in the morning and learned from Zhu Qing that everything had been arranged, which made her feel relieved.

After Xie Yao had breakfast with Xiao Ji, she went to see her two children. The two children were still asleep and sleeping side by side. Her heart melted when she saw them.

Not long after, Zhu Qing came in from outside again and stood beside Xie Yao with his head lowered and his eyes submissive.

Xie Yao seemed to have sensed something and ordered the wet nurses and maids to leave. Zhu Qing then leaned close to Xie Yao's ear and said, "I followed your instructions and secretly investigated the wet nurses."

“It is indeed different.”

Xie Yao's hands on the cradle suddenly clenched, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her voice became deep, "Speak."

Zhu Qing whispered, "These wet nurses' homes all have a lot of money for no apparent reason, but no one has approached them on purpose."

"Where does the money come from?" Xie Yao asked.

Although she was generous to the wet nurse who took care of her two children, she knew the money and jewelry she had given them, and she was sure that she had never given them the big gold bracelet that day.

She has only been a wet nurse for a few months here, and she spent a huge amount of money to buy a gold bracelet like that. How can she live like this?

Coupled with the wet nurse's anxious attitude to hide it, Xie Yao was able to confirm that something was wrong.

Zhu Qing said: "It seems to have appeared suddenly. I have asked someone to continue investigating."

Xie Yao hummed.

Windfall? She never believed it. Something must be fishy when things are out of the ordinary!

She pondered for a moment and said, "Tell the court doctor to check these extra jewelry when he takes the nurses' pulses."

"Yes." Zhu Qing agreed again and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Because it involves a pair of children, Xie Yao pays special attention to the people who take care of the two children, and naturally she is also concerned about their health issues, especially the wet nurses.

She even asked the government doctor to check her pulse frequently, and her milk supply had to be checked every day before breastfeeding.

Since Xie Yao had spoken, Zhu Qing did not waste any time. When the court doctor came to check the milk expressed by the wet nurses.

Zhu Qing said, "The weather has been too hot recently, and the Crown Princess is worried about the health of the mothers, so she asked the palace doctor to shorten the time for checking the pulse."

“Moms, please.”

This was certainly not a bad thing. Although the nurses were a little uneasy about this change, they hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your consideration."

Seeing one of the wet nurses coming forward, the one who was especially taken care of by Xie Yao turned her eyes and asked carefully: "Miss Zhuqing, why is it suddenly shortening?"

Zhu Qing had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Of course I care about all the mothers."

"Does mom have any objections?"

The nurse's face changed and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Miss Zhuqing, you dare not say that. I am only grateful to the Crown Princess."

Zhu Qing smiled and said nothing more.

Soon, it was the wet nurse's turn. Zhu Qing was shocked and stood in the yard waiting for the court doctor's diagnosis.

The court doctor examined the patient for a while, frowned slightly, and said to the wet nurse, "The other hand."

There was a flash of embarrassment on the wet nurse's face. She hesitated for a moment before extending her other hand.

As soon as she lifted her sleeves, the huge gold bracelet on her wrist could no longer be hidden.

Although she was a little frightened after being seen by Xie Yao last time, she couldn't resist her vanity and was reluctant to take off the gold bracelet.

I just wanted her to stay hidden, but now...

Noticing that everyone's eyes were on the gold bracelet, the wet nurse felt proud but also a little guilty.

"You seem to be weaker than before." The court doctor frowned, feeling a little strange.

The wet nurses' diet was divided into two portions, with two people in a group to prevent someone from tampering with the food.

However, another wet nurse who ate the same food as her had no problem.

"Ah?" The wet nurse was startled, her face turned pale, and she raised her hand to cover her chest with a frightened look, "Is it serious? I, I..."

She looked flustered and couldn't explain clearly. The court doctor asked her about her recent condition in detail but couldn't find out what was going on.

Zhu Qing's eyes fell on her big gold bracelet and said, "Mom, this gold bracelet must be worth a lot, right?"

The nurse subconsciously withdrew her hand and said awkwardly, "It's fake, fake, not worth much."

Zhu Qing said, "Since there has been no problem with the same things in the mansion, let's check the different ones."

Zhu Qing looked at the nurse soothingly, "Don't worry, mom. This is also for the good of the young master and mom. I just want to make myself feel at ease. Don't panic, mom."

She stared at the nurse's expression, trying to see what she was thinking.

The nurse was not flustered, but a little embarrassed. She quickly took off the big gold bracelet on her wrist and said repeatedly: "That's natural, that's natural!"
