The wooden building is five rooms wide and has a spacious platform in front of it.

The house is paved with square bricks and the ceiling is painted with colorful phoenixes. The first floor has a living room, a flower hall and a study, while the second floor has bedrooms and a spacious viewing platform. Standing on it, you can take in most of the scenery in the mansion.

The house is filled with Huanghuali furniture, which has warm and gorgeous patterns, a jade-like luster, and a faint wood fragrance.

"Master Zhao, these are Hongxiang and Cuitai. If you need anything, just tell them to do it."

Su Lin introduced two maids to Xue Huan.

Xue Huan nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Chief Steward Su."

Xue Huan had a very sumptuous lunch at noon, but she had no appetite because she thought Pei Ji was still in a state of soul separation.

After dinner, she walked in the yard, sat on the swing, and swayed from time to time, thinking about how to get information from Manager Su.

She was not good at gathering information. After all, she had always used the Truth Talisman to solve the problem before. But Manager Su was Pei Ji's man, so she couldn't use the Truth Talisman on him.

The two maids, Hongxiang and Cuitai, probably didn't know the inside story.

While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a cat's meow.

Xue Huan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dirty cat standing on the courtyard wall. Its fur was tangled and its original color could not be seen. Its pair of dark eyes stared at her wetly. When it saw her looking at it, it called out softly several times: "Meow~ Meow~"

It’s like... calling “Hanhuan”.

Xue Huan was surprised by her own association.

"Hey, where did this wild cat come from? Go away." Cuitai waved her hand to drive away the cat.

The cat didn't move, only staring at Xue Huan. Its eyes seemed to hold human emotions. Xue Huan's heart moved, and she stopped Cui Tai. She walked to the courtyard wall and held out her hand to the cat, "Come."

Generally speaking, wild cats are very wary of humans and will not let people get close easily. Xue Huan was just testing the waters. If the cat refused to jump down, she would think of other ways. However, her worries were completely unnecessary. The cat jumped into her open arms without hesitation.

"Sir, this cat is so dirty. Please put it down. If you like cats, I will go find some clean and beautiful kittens." Cuitai advised.

Xue Huan is not a cat lover, otherwise she would have raised a cat a long time ago. However, this cat gave her an unusual feeling, as if it came to find her on purpose.

"It's okay, go get a basin of hot water and I'll wash it."

Cui Tai then left.

After the hot water was boiled, Xue Huan gave the cat a bath on the platform in front of the house.

She had never raised a cat, but she had heard that cats are afraid of water and bathing them would be difficult. However, this one was not afraid at all and even jumped into the basin of water on its own initiative.

All the comforting words she had prepared were useless.

Xue Huan rolled up her sleeves and washed the cat carefully. She changed the water three times before she finally cleaned the cat.

The cat was very docile throughout the whole process and let her manipulate it obediently.

After washing, Xue Huan wrapped it in a large towel, wiped it, and then placed it on a soft cushion.

The sun was warm and the entire platform was bathed in sunlight. The cat's fur dried quickly. Xue Huan smoothed out the tangled hair and combed it carefully several times.

"Sir, I didn't expect that this cat would be so beautiful after being washed. Its white fur is shiny and smooth, like satin." Cuitai was very surprised. When she looked at the cat again, she didn't dislike it at all and even wanted to touch it.

As a result, the cat immediately showed its claws and growled at her threateningly, obviously not wanting to be touched by her.

Cuitai was so scared that she retracted her hand, looking a little disappointed.

Xue Huan laughed: "It seems this cat is quite vindictive."

The cat licked her fingers, then tilted its furry face up to look at her, its eyes sparkling and focused, giving people the illusion of deep affection.

Just as Xue Huan was about to investigate further, she suddenly heard a gurgling sound.

The cat is calling because it is hungry.

The cat turned its head away, as if it was shy.

Xue Huan was so adorable that her heart melted. She hugged the cat and petted it. "Cui Tai, ask the kitchen to make a bowl of milk and a bowl of minced meat porridge without salt."

Cui Tai is gone.

There is a row of back houses behind Qinghui Building. The kitchen, woodshed and servants' rooms are all here. If you want to eat something, you don't have to go through the big kitchen and can cook directly here.

It took a while for the food to be ready. Xue Huan was afraid that the cat was hungry, so she poured a glass of water, added a drop of spiritual spring water into it, and gave it to the cat to drink first.

The spiritual spring water can nourish its body.

The milk and minced meat porridge was ready. Xue Huan tested the temperature, placed it in front of the cat, and patted its head: "Eat it."

When the cat was eating, Xue Huan watched from the side. The more she watched, the cuter it seemed to her. Although she was not a cat lover, she had little resistance to the beautiful and cute furry creatures.

After eating and drinking, the cat arched its head in front of Xue Huan and raised one of its front paws to wipe it.

Xue Huan: "You want me to wipe your mouth? You're so crazy, little thing."

She wiped the milk off its mouth, carried it into the house, and told Hongxiang, "Go and get Steward Su. I have something to say to him."

After Su Lin arrived, Xue Huan took him to the study and got straight to the point: "Steward Su, when did His Highness get into trouble?"

Su Lin was shocked, "How do you know?" He realized that something was wrong as soon as he said it, but he couldn't take it back. He looked at Xue Huan with suspicion and vigilance.

Xue Huan stroked the cat in her arms, expressionless, and immediately dispelled the illusion, revealing her true appearance.

Su Lin looked at this sudden transformation with his expression completely out of control. When he saw her face clearly, he was shocked again, because the portrait of the woman in front of him had been shown to him by his master a long time ago, and he was also told that this was the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. If he saw her, he had to treat her with respect and treat her as if he were seeing himself.

"Miss Xue?"

Xue Huan nodded, "Yes, it's me. I don't need to explain my relationship with Pei Ji again, right?"

When Su Lin heard her calling His Highness by his name, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"For convenience, I dressed as a man," Xue Huan explained, then got straight to the point: "Have you asked a doctor to examine him? Did he find out what's wrong?"

Su Lin was still in doubt. Although the woman in front of him looked exactly like the one in the portrait, after witnessing her transformation just now, he couldn't help but think deeply: since she could transform into a man without any flaws, how could he guarantee that her appearance at this moment was real?

Seeing that Su Lin didn't reply, Xue Huan understood his concerns after a quick thought and took out something.

It was a small seal that once belonged to Pei Ji, a private seal used to handle correspondence from the Tianxia Pawnshop.

Pei Ji had given Xue Huan this seal when he took her to the Tianxia Pawnshop's branch in Fengchi. With this seal in hand, Xue Huan was equivalent to the second master of this intelligence organization.

All resources and manpower in the organization can be mobilized.
