Only then did he stand up and say goodbye.
The news that Shi Qingluo ran away to find the old lady soon reached Xiao Yuanshi's ears.
It was just because Shi Qingluo's maid was guarding the door of the room and the old lady also drove the maids out of the mansion, so his people couldn't find out what the two people said in the room.
But Xiao Yuanshi felt that Shi Qingluo definitely had no good intentions when he ran away to find the old lady.
I wonder what bad advice he will give to his mother.
I didn't know before that he would be demoted to the northern border by the emperor.
If he had known, he would never have brought the Xiao family here, but would have sent them directly to other remote places.
It is really easier to invite a god than to send him away now. The people from Old Xiao's family insisted on staying in the Deputy Governor's Mansion, and he had no choice.
Of course, they were extremely dissatisfied with Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng for sending Old Xiao's family to North City.
He didn't know when Shi Qingluo would leave, and he was really afraid that she would continue to stay in Beicheng and cause trouble.
Her recent frequent visits to Prince Jin's Palace have caused the noble families in North City to believe that she has defected to Prince Jin.
Some people even came to test him, which completely disrupted his plans and really annoyed him.
Just as I was thinking about it, my personal attendant came to report.
"Master, the eldest young lady wishes to see you."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He didn’t want to see it at all.
He was really scared of meeting Shi Qingluo. Nothing good happened every time they met.
Either I get scolded by her or I get pissed off by her.
But he was also very curious about why she came to him on her own initiative.
I could only nod and say, "Tell him to stay in the living room. I'll be right there."
After a while, Xiao Yuanshi got up and went to the reception room.
Shi Qingluo was sitting lazily drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he didn't stand up to greet him.
It's just disrespectful.
He walked in, sat down, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I am here today to say goodbye to you, Eunuch Qian."
When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally leaving! He asked, "When are we leaving?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "Early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yuanshi said: "Then I wish you a safe journey."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Former Eunuch, do you really want us to leave North City as soon as possible?"
"Did I disrupt your plans?"
"Why don't you tell me so I can avoid you in the future?"
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He just wanted to laugh.
It was good enough that this damn girl didn't deliberately ruin his plan. He didn't believe that she would be kind enough to avoid him.
He said with a fake smile: "What plans do I have? I don't have any."
Shi Qingluo looked at him meaningfully, "I originally wanted to share a very important news with you, but it seems you are not interested!"
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” This damn girl is really irritating.
"I really don't have any plans. It's just that Ge Chunru accepted 50,000 taels of silver, and people from Prince Jin's Mansion have been contacting me, so I plan to play along with them."
He then asked, "What important news do you want to talk about?"
He was really curious about what important news Shi Qingluo was going to tell him.
In North City, he was really too passive.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Since you want to know, I will tell you as a reward for Xi Rong and I's recent accommodation and food in the Vice Governor's Mansion."
"There is a family named Zhuo in the west of the city, and they run an embroidery shop."
"And this lady who opened the Embroidery Tower has a great connection with the previous dynasty."
This was the secret code between them that the young husband wrote to her and asked her to tell her scumbag father on purpose.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course I have my own sources of information, but it's not convenient for me to tell you."
Xiao Yuanshi asked in confusion: "Tell me what this means?"
Shi Qingluo did not answer but asked, "Former Eunuch, do you know that the treasure map in your hand is only half of the story?"
Xiao Yuanshi's face changed, and he immediately scolded, "I told you before, I don't have any treasure map."
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Do you mean to say that half of the treasure map is in the home of the former dynasty man surnamed Zhuo?"
Otherwise, why would Shi Qingluo keep bringing up this topic?
Shi Qingluo discovered that except for his unclear mind when it came to Ge Chunru, his scumbag father was actually very smart and quick to change his mind.
She just said that, and he was able to react so quickly and connect the two.
No wonder the emperor sent his jerk father to the northern border to contain Prince Jin and wait for an opportunity to look for the treasure.
Shi Qingluo gave him an admiring look, "The former eunuch is really smart."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” Don’t look at him like that, he’s afraid.
His eyes darkened as he asked, "How did you know?"
He really didn't know about this and always thought that the treasure map in his hand was complete.
No wonder he felt a little strange when he first got the treasure map. It was really too easy to get it.
Shi Qingluo pointed in a direction and said, "I heard it by accident from Prince Jin's Mansion."
Anyway, she has been to Prince Jin's Mansion several times recently, so what she said is completely valid.
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” I believed your ghost.
How could such a secret be heard accidentally?
However, if this was true, he believed that Shi Qingluo might have really used some method to find out from Prince Jin's Mansion.
Shi Qingluo reminded, "So if you want to get the treasure, you have to get the other half of the treasure map to piece it together."
Xiao Yuanshi felt a pain in his heart, "I told you I don't have a treasure map."
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "Former eunuch, you are not being honest now."
He waved his hand again, "But if you said no, then no."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He saw through it but didn’t say anything. This damn girl did it on purpose.
"Why are you telling me this?" This was what he couldn't understand the most.
Shi Qingluo smiled carelessly and said, "Of course I want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman."
"If I tell you that I just have good intentions, would you believe me?"
There is no need to hide anything in front of smart people. It is better to state your purpose clearly and the other party will believe it.
She did this at the suggestion of her husband.
Since their scumbag dad wants them to fight King Jin, he can just sit back and reap the benefits.
Then they will return it.
They were not afraid that their scumbag father would suddenly surrender to Prince Jin and leak the secret. Unless their scumbag father was a fool, he would never tell anyone.
Then the scumbag dad goes to investigate Zhuo's family and finds out the relationship between Prince Jin and Zhuo Jun's biological mother.
If the scumbag dad wants to piece together the complete treasure map, he has to compete with Prince Jin and the people from the previous dynasty in a battle of wits and courage.
Maybe they can really reap the benefits.
That's why she deliberately told her scumbag father about this.
It was the first time that Xiao Yuanshi saw someone plotting to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and he said it so confidently. He was speechless...
Of course if Shi Qingluo said that he was just being kind, he really wouldn't believe it.
He looked at Shi Qingluo with an expression that said, "I'm plotting against you. It depends on whether you accept it or not," and he got angry again.
Would he answer it? If the news was true, he would have to answer it, which was why he felt so aggrieved.
