The front hall of Prince Ding's Mansion.

Xiao Huaizheng found Xiao Huaiqing and asked, "Cousin, is there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Xiao Huaiqing said angrily: "You still know that I am doing things for you, but you embarrassed me in public in the main room just now."

Xiao Huaizheng frowned and said unhappily, "Our brothers' affairs are one thing. If you help me now, I will naturally help you in the future. But your suspicion of me and the Queen's aunt is another matter."

"Can you please change your suspicious habit? Before, it was my father, and now it's me. No sane person would want to pay attention to you!"

Xiao Huaiqing argued, "I didn't."

Xiao Huaizheng sneered: "Your eyes and tone have betrayed you. What's the point of saying this now?"

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

Xiao Huaiqing asked doubtfully, "Know what?"

Xiao Huaizheng said: "The Queen's aunt is a good person. We all like her because she is helpful and takes care of us like family. She is not like you who comes to greet us when you are free. Just a greeting is a way of showing concern."

"Do you know why I left the palace?"

"Because I discovered that my mother's death might have been caused by someone, the Imperial Aunt promised to help me find out, so I came here. But you only saw me appear next to the Imperial Aunt, and nothing else. It's really sad."

Xiao Huaiqing was a little shocked, but he didn't want to admit that he had misunderstood, so he said, "I was just asking, you guys are overreacting."

Xiao Huai smiled righteously and said, "Cousin, don't you have any friends?"

Xiao Huaiqing thought about it carefully, and realized that there really wasn't one. But he was curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Huaizheng: "They must have been pissed off by you, right?"

“Tsk tsk!”

Xiao Huaiqing: "..."

Perhaps wanting to change something, Xiao Huaiqing quickly said, "The people you asked me to help you check are a pair of siblings. Their registered residence is in Duyun Prefecture, and it hasn't been changed yet."

"They came to the capital to look for their relatives and were adopted by an old eunuch. Coincidentally, that old eunuch once served your mother."

"But because of the death of your mother, he had his legs broken and was thrown out of the palace."

Xiao Huaizheng asked: "Where is it?"

Xiao Huaiqing said: "Didn't you say that my mother is also investigating this matter? Then it's better to inform her as well. I will take you to take a look."

Xiao Huaizheng thought about it and felt that it was okay. Maybe he could hear some useful thoughts at that time, so he said: "Okay, I'll go call Aunt Huang."

Soon, Xiao Huaizheng called Lin Yue over, and the three of them prepared to go out together.

Su Yingyue hurried over after hearing the news and waited at the foot of the Chuihua Gate. After finally seeing Xiao Huaiqing come out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Husband, where are you going?"

Xiao Huaiqing said, "I'm going to help my fourth brother with something. I'll be back soon."

Su Yingyue looked at Lin Yue, hesitant to speak, and then whispered, "Can you take me with you?"

Xiao Huaiqing asked without even thinking: "What are you going to do?"

"You can't help much, just stay home. We'll be back soon."

Su Yingyue looked very aggrieved and asked, "How do you know I can't help?"

Xiao Huaiqing said unhappily, "I said I can't help you, so go back!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed a little annoyed by Su Yingyue's nagging and looked very impatient.

Lin Yue couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Give the address to Huai Zheng and me, and we can go check it out. We can just check it out secretly, so we won't alert the enemy for the time being."

Xiao Huaizheng also said: "Yes, cousin, why don't you stay at home with your cousin's wife."

There was a glimmer of hope in Su Yingyue's eyes, and she looked at Xiao Huaiqing expectantly.

However, Xiao Huaiqing said: "No need, there are so many servants at home!"

After saying that, he walked away without caring whether Su Yingyue was still standing there.

Su Yingyue watched him leave, tears falling, without waiting for him to look back.

Then she set her eyes on Lin Yue and Xiao Huaizheng, with a biting chill in her eyes, and left angrily.

Xiao Huaizheng was confused: "What is my cousin doing?"

Lin Yue laughed: "Haha, you thought she would blame your cousin, but who knew you would become the scapegoat?"

Finally, someone understands my feelings. How is it? Isn’t it sour and refreshing?

[I'm not targeting those two people, but they are really sick! ]

Xiao Huaizheng: “…” Although he didn’t want to admit it, it seemed to be true.

"Why doesn't the Emperor seem to care?"

Lin Yue snorted: "I've taken the blame more times than you, so naturally I'm calm."

"She felt that we had bewitched Xiao Huaiqing, which was why she lost face."

"But I never thought that if she could really control Xiao Huaiqing, what would happen to us?"

Xiao Huaizheng said: "That's right."

Lin Yue said: "Let's go, it's just like that, in their eyes it's nothing at all."

[Try to stay away from people you can’t communicate with, otherwise you’ll be the scapegoat next time]

Xiao Huaiqing was waiting outside. He prepared a horse for Xiao Huaizheng and a carriage for Lin Yue.

However, Xiao Huaizheng was tired of the sun and wanted to ride in a carriage. When Lin Yue refused, he said he wanted to be the driver, so Lin Yue agreed.

Xiao Huaiqing's eyes were filled with anger. He rode his horse forward and kept a distance from them. After a while, he could no longer see their figures.

Lin Yue lifted the car curtain and asked Xiao Huaizheng: "What problem did you find?"

Xiao Huaizheng sighed: "Do your own thing yourself. It's a favor for others to help you, but it's their duty not to help you. If they hold you back halfway through helping you, you deserve it!"

Lin Yue laughed heartily, patted Xiao Huaizheng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I like you more and more."
