Looking at the packets of medicine placed to the side, her anger flared up again. What kind of good medicine didn't the Prince's mansion have? Yet she had these sent over.
Even the dogs in the Prince's mansion wouldn't take these medicines.
Ha, all she knows are these underhanded tricks.
That's not presentable!
Inside the study, Lu Xiaoyun was engrossed in a military treatise.
"Master." It was Feng Yan's voice. He had been away for two days investigating the Fengyue Gang and had returned.
"Come in."
Feng Yan looked travel-worn, clearly having rushed back.
"How's the investigation going?" Lu Xiaoyun asked, setting the military treatise aside.

"Yes, that person was extremely cautious and did not show himself. Even men, women, and children did not know him."
This is getting interesting.
"How was the deposit paid?"
This was the first time Feng Yan had ever encountered a murder-for-hire scheme. The trip took three days and three nights without sleep, but he hadn't found any useful clues. It seemed his job as the head of the Prince's mansion's secret guards was truly over.
