Chapter 240



After the words came out, the two looked at each other, each of them had a teasing look in their eyes.

The reason, of course, is that both of them wanted to use their son. His reborn voice is transparent, which is a completely effective weapon that no one can detect!

Xiao Yanji naturally had no idea that he was only a nine-month-old baby, but he was being blatantly targeted...

When I woke up the next day, the autumn weather was crisp and refreshing, and my body and mind were refreshed.

Yan Zhuo moved his arms, and the little woman was still pouting in his arms, wondering if she was dreaming about something delicious or something else.

He leaned over and pecked at it. It was so fragrant and soft, and he couldn't get enough of it.

But more of them didn't dare to say it, after all, they had already made Jiang Ying angry last night.

I stood up reluctantly.

In order to let Jiang Ying sleep a little longer, he was very careful when pulling out his arm, and he was very careful when getting out of bed, just like a wild man who sneaked into bed...

Finally, I managed not to wake Jiang Ying up.

Get dressed quickly and leave the house.

The man was tall and had long legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was wearing a dark robe with a gold-threaded python pattern, which perfectly outlined his slenderness and upright figure.

The robe also looks solemn and mysterious.

His steps were steady and powerful, each one of them carried a sense of confidence and composure. His facial features were three-dimensional, and the corners of his slightly upturned mouth contained a faint smile.

Facing the sunlight that had just emerged from the horizon, Yan Zhuo stretched out his back and felt both amused and ashamed.

I've been awake for many days and have done nothing but indulge in the gentle countryside!

For now, we have to continue with Yingying's investigation.

Find out whether there is a problem with Eunuch Wei of the library, or whether Eunuch Qin is not a simple person?

To what extent will Situ Fang and Jiang Shang of Yaocheng fight each other for wisdom and courage?

There is also Xinghua Village, whose plans have been disrupted several times. What the hell is going on in that village?

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuo thought it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day. He would not bring Jiang Ying with him, so that she could have a good rest at home. He would take Qi Ren or Kunan with him and tell her what he found out.

He walked up the stairs and was about to look for someone when Qi Ren and Kunan came over hand in hand, looking very excited!

Yan Zhuo glanced at the two of them with an oppressive look in his eyes, "I have been ill these days and have not been able to discipline you. How can you be so cheerful and giggling?"

Qi Ren bared his teeth, "My Lord, there is some progress in the matter of Xinghua Village!"

"what?"

Yan Zhuo raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. It wasn't that he questioned Qi Ren and Kunan's abilities, but was it just such a coincidence?

That’s great!

He just didn't want to leave the mother and son for even a moment, but the matter of Xinghua Village was too late to delay any longer. Besides, he didn't want to wait for Jiang Ying to wake up and ask him about it, only to have him answer nothing.

Because when he woke up, he would tell her to rest assured that he would take care of everything.

He no longer cared about the formalities with his family, and walked aside a few steps to sit at the stone table in the yard.

There was a pot of cold tea on the tray on the table. I didn't notice it before, but now I felt a sore throat rising to my head.

Yan Zhuo coughed, and Qi Ren immediately poured him some cold tea.

He whispered, "Sister Ying, these people in the courtyard are too lazy. Why don't they even prepare hot tea for the prince?"

Yan Zhuo sipped his cold tea and immediately thought of the yelling incident last night. He felt that they were getting in the way, and it was normal that Siyu and Yinrui didn't have time to comfort the crying and noisy baby who was looking for his mother.

"Well, let's get down to business." He cleared his throat unconsciously to cover up.

Qi Ren seemed not to understand and continued to say that he mainly hoped there would be a few more people in the main courtyard so that Si Yu wouldn't be so busy that he wouldn't see her for the whole day.

But Kunan was quick-eyed and pulled out a blade.

"The prince asked you to get down to business and stop talking nonsense."

"Oh." Qi Ren was about to say something, but he had to hold it back, feeling very depressed. "My Lord, this is it, the direction of our investigation has been wrong!"

Qi Ren's tone was obviously filled with indignation:

"I thought the blood curse was only related to that black-hearted Grandma Jiang.

Actually, it is not.

Grandma Jiang's brother, Mr. Cao, knows something about it!

The subordinates were in a hurry at the time, so they didn't care about anything else and quickly captured the man. After torturing him, Cao Er Lao Ye died with tears and snot.

He said it was his little son who did it.

The purpose is to transfer the fortune of the Jiang family of the Duke's Mansion to their Cao family.

After a few decades, the incomparable Jiang family will gradually fall, and the descendants of their Cao family will gradually make a name for themselves in the capital!"

Moreover, to achieve this effect, it is necessary to collect the blood of all the people with the surname Jiang in the Duke's Mansion and activate an ancient curse.

It seems difficult, but Grandma Jiang has been serving in the mansion for a long time. It shouldn't be easy for her to get the blood of the masters.

No wonder Grandma Jiang had no regrets when she died, because the spell was done, and her mission to the Cao family was completed!

When Yan Zhuo heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, "What's the name of Cao Er's little son?"

Kunan replied, "Cao Shun, nicknamed Goudan. It is said that he was dumb when he was a child and could not even call his parents when he was seven years old.

However, one time he sneaked out of the village and accidentally entered the No Return Valley not far from the village. The whole village thought he was doomed and that he would never come back. After all, in the past ten years, no one had ever entered the No Return Valley and came back alive. So, guess what happened, my Lord?

Oh my God!

Not only did he remain unharmed and never come out of the valley, he also learned to speak. Although he could only utter a few words throughout the year, he was no longer a dumb little boy...”

In short, the more Qi Ren and Kunan investigated, the more they felt that Xinghua Village seemed ordinary on the surface, but was actually very mysterious!

It was this Cao Shun, who was silent and taciturn, but was actually a ruthless man!

Yan Zhuo listened and pondered at the same time, tapping his fingers aimlessly on the table.

After a while, he looked at Qi Ren again, "How about Cao Er now? Find a way to catch Cao Shun. I don't want to waste any more time on him."

If you have that much time, you might as well spend it cultivating the relationship between the mother and son at home.

But after he asked for a while, Qi Ren and Kunan did not respond.

Yan Zhuo raised his eyes, only to find the two of them lying there, poking each other, encouraging each other like children.

"What are you doing? Is your skin itchy?" Yan Zhuo said unhappily.

In the past few months since he became a living dead, the people around him seemed to have relaxed too much.

Especially Qi Ren and Kunan, as well as some of the Demon Guards who should be on high alert at all times.

This made Yan Zhuo feel very frustrated.

He said in a cold voice, "You two have not done a lot of official business in this period of time. I haven't found the time to scold you. What, are you planning to make new trouble?"

"I dare not." Kunan knew that those who were practical were talented, so he planned to put it off until later.

However, Qi Ren didn't want to do that. He was still waiting for Yinzi to prepare a betrothal gift for Siyu!

So, he said with a cheeky smile, "My Lord, does what you said before you lay on the bed still count?"
