Chapter 330: The identity is revealed, the princess has a bad feeling

"What's going on?"

Xiao Ying glanced at the man in confusion.

He is of medium height and ordinary appearance, and would be unrecognizable in a crowd.

But he noticed at a glance that this person was not from the village.

Ling Yun threw the person to the ground with a serious expression.

"Master, I discovered this man sneaking around the village and trying to bribe the villagers to get information about you, so I knocked him out and brought him back."

Xiao Ying had a hunch that something was wrong and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Ask for my news? Interesting. I'm afraid one of the fish can't sit still anymore. Wake him up and ask him."

Ling Yun suddenly injected a stream of spiritual power into the man's body. The man shuddered in pain, woke up immediately, and cried out in pain.

"Ouch……"

However, he stopped talking halfway through. Seeing the scene in front of him, his face changed and his heart sank.

But he quickly realized that he had turned the tables and was confusing right and wrong.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What you're doing is illegal. I'm going to sue you at the county government office!"

Xiao Ying stared at him expressionlessly. His quick reaction showed that he was no ordinary person.

She winked, and Ling Yun kicked him in the knee. The man fell to his knees again, letting out a scream.

"ah……"

"You...you...who are you...what do you want to do to me?"

The man's face turned pale, and he felt like his leg bones were broken. He no longer dared to be so tough.

"You're not here to inquire about me, so you don't know who I am?" Xiao Ying snorted coldly: "I want to know who you are? Why are you asking about me?"

The man's face turned even paler. The person in front of him was indeed Xiao Yiren!

Damn it, no one told him that there was such a master around Xiao Yiren, otherwise he would have been more cautious.

Now that he has fallen into Xiao Ying's hands, he is afraid that he will be in trouble.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was just passing by and was knocked unconscious and brought here."

"It seems that he won't cry until he sees the coffin."

Xiao Ying lost interest and said to Ling Yun, "I leave it to you."

"Master, rest assured, I will interrogate him thoroughly."

Ling Yun bowed and then grabbed the man and took him out. Not long after, a shrill scream was heard from the backyard, and then there was no sound.

In just a quarter of an hour, Ling Yun came back alone to report.

"Master, I'm afraid this matter is not good."

He frowned, looking quite serious.

"This man is called Wang Gui, and he came here on the orders of the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhenyuan Marquisate."

"It turns out that the Crown Prince's Consort found out about the old lady's departure from the manor not long after. She became suspicious and sent him to follow her all the way."

"Who would have thought that when he got here, he would find out the relationship between the old lady and the mistress. He bribed the villagers to get more specific information, but fortunately he failed."

Xiao Ying nodded slightly, but was not too surprised.

My mother was away for a very long time. She stayed in Ning'an County for twenty days alone.

Considering the time spent on the road, it has been more than a month, so it is not surprising that he was discovered.

However, the Crown Prince's Consort was quite capable. She discovered it so early, and Wang Gui even traced it here.

"The Crown Prince's Consort, isn't that Han Ye's wife?"

She chuckled, actually looking forward to the other party's reaction after knowing the truth.

But now is not the time, Wang Gui cannot be released.

"That's right." Ling Yun replied, "I got to know some of the dignitaries when I was in Beijing, so I've heard of this person too."

"This girl's surname is Xu, her name is Xu Xuan, and she is the daughter of Xu Ji, the Minister of Personnel."

"She's a bit arrogant and not easy to get along with. She and Han Ye were probably married through an arranged marriage, but they have a pretty good relationship."

"They have two sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter, Han Zijing, is about twelve or thirteen years old. She has the temperament of the Crown Prince's wife and is quite unruly."

"The eldest son, Han Ziyang, should be eleven years old this year. He is quite talented and famous."

"The second son, Han Ziming, is an out-and-out playboy, uneducated and unskillful."

Having said that, he frowned.

"If the Crown Prince's Consort knew of the Master's existence, she would definitely not let this go."

Xiao Ying listened to him describe the other party's situation clearly as if he knew everything about the back of his hand, and immediately formed a preliminary impression of the Crown Prince's wife and the children.

"Then don't let her know for now."

It’s not that I’m afraid of the other person, but I don’t want to cause trouble for my mother, otherwise my mother might not have a good New Year.

"Just get rid of Wang Gui directly?" Ling Yun asked.

Xiao Ying smiled: "First squeeze out the value."

The Crown Princess can ask Wang Gui to find out about her, so she can naturally find out about the Crown Princess through Wang Gui.

Since she was going to Beijing, she would come into contact with these people sooner or later, so it would be a good idea to know more about their situation.

"I understand."

Ling Yun took the order and went out again.

The Crown Prince's Consort Xu Xuan, who was being discussed by the two men, was currently lost in thought over a letter.

The letter was indeed written by Wang Gui, but it was written seven or eight days ago.

The letter contained the information Wang Gui had investigated. After much investigation, he finally confirmed Ning Leshu's whereabouts: Yun'an County, Xizhou.

So I sent this letter before coming to Xizhou.

"Yun'an County... Yun'an County... Why does it sound so familiar?"

Xu Xuan murmured softly, her eyes full of confusion.

"What was the old lady doing in Yun'an County? And she's been gone for so long, there must be something wrong."

The maidservant beside her replied, "Madam, don't worry. Wang Gui is a clever man. He has already gone to Yun'an County. He will definitely be able to find out everything."

Xu Xuan took a sip of tea before nodding and saying, "I have confidence in Wang Gui's abilities. I believe there will be results soon."

He put down the teacup and seemed to have thought of something.

"What's going on in the second room?"

"Nothing unusual, but you should know that the old lady is not in the manor and has left Shangjing."

"laugh……"

Xu Xuan immediately sneered, her tone full of sarcasm.

"They say that Mr. Tan is a brainless idiot who spends all day fiddling with weapons and doesn't even care where his mother-in-law is."

There was a lot of contempt in his words towards the other party.

The "Tan" she mentioned was none other than the second wife, Tan Yunshi, the daughter of the Imperial College's chief academic officer.

Logically speaking, being born into a scholarly family, one should be full of knowledge, but Tan Yunshi has loved wielding swords and guns since childhood and has a simple personality, which makes him get along well with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

Ning Leshu also likes this second daughter-in-law more.

She and Tan Yunshi disliked each other before they got married, but they didn't expect that they would end up in the same family, so naturally their relationship was not very good.

She gave a strange smile.

"Mammy, what do you think my good mother-in-law is doing in Yun'an County, Xizhou, at this critical moment?"

"It's so mysterious, I'm afraid there's something shameful going on."

"I've been married into the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen her like this."

For some reason, she always felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell what it was.
