"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything that will harm your Wuqi country."
"I'm just asking you to help deliver a letter or something. It's better to say that this is actually something that benefits your Wuqi country."
Yuchi Xi expressed his idea, and when they heard that it was just to help someone deliver a letter, many ghosts agreed.
But some ghosts asked, "What if the letter we were asked to deliver is about intelligence about the Wuqi Kingdom?"
The ghosts suddenly fell silent.
ah?
They haven’t thought about this!!
If that were the case, wouldn't they be complicit in leaking secrets? If the ancestors of the underworld found out... they'd definitely be beaten when they got there.
Yuchi Xi said, "Don't worry about that. Our store won't accept that kind of job. Besides, who would be stupid enough to use someone else's store to deliver such an important item?"
If it is confidential, then there must be someone special who conveyed it.
Hearing her say this, the ghosts breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."
Anyway, they are idle now, so they might as well help themselves to save some paper money so that they won’t go to the underworld empty-handed.
Yuchi Xi reached a consensus with them and taught them how to do it, but there was a problem. She had to find a reliable person to stay in Wuqi Country.
Otherwise, if there is any problem with the store here, she can't fly over on Charmander to solve it, right?
That's too tiring.
Yuchi Xi touched her chin with her little hand, thinking.
She didn't bring any confidants with her on this trip, only Brother Jing. She would never let Brother Jing stay with her, as Brother Jing was her life-saving talisman!
Well, she might as well go to the capital tomorrow to see if there is any capable person.
Yuchi Xi signed the contract with them and went to bed.
The next morning, after breakfast, she pulled Jing Huaian out.
The envoys from the Yuan Dynasty had nothing to do. Since the little princess did not say that she wanted to return to the Yuan Dynasty, they could not return to the Yuan Dynasty on their own. So they sent someone to tell the empress and went to visit the capital.
The empress naturally agreed happily. After all, they would definitely buy something when they went shopping!
Yuchi Xi didn't expect to find candied haws made of oranges here. She bought two strings, handed one to Jing Huaian, and took one to herself, biting it while eating as she walked.
Jing Huaian glanced at her and started eating bite by bite.
Yuchi Xi looked around, searching for something.
[Hmm, oh, this is so difficult. Some people with good looks have jobs coming up. It's so hard to choose the right candidate!]
[Look again, I just can't believe it. In such a huge country like Wuqi, there's still no one I want! !]
"Hey, Su Lingling, who allowed you to leave the house?"
Hearing the sound, Yuchi Xi looked towards the source of the sound and saw a person dressed as a maid looking arrogantly at the girl in front of her at the back door of the mansion.
The girl lowered her head, her hands nervously pinching the hem of her clothes. She moved her mouth slightly, as if she was saying something. Due to the distance between them, Yuchi Xi couldn't hear clearly what she said, but he could see that the maid's expression had eased a little.
The girl took the opportunity to slip her a piece of silver. The maid smiled, stepped aside and let her in.
Yuchi Xi let out a light exclamation. She thought the girl would be bullied, but she didn't expect that she could solve the problem by herself.
However, judging from the girl's dress, she didn't look like a rich person, but she spent a lot of money, so Yuchi Xi became a little interested in her.
Jing Huaian had been paying attention to the direction she was looking at. Seeing that she was interested, he asked, "Little Princess, do you want to find out who she is?"
Yuchi Xi nodded, "Okay!"
【I never doubt the hero's connections! 】
I didn't expect that Brother Jing could get the news here.
Yuchi Xi wanted to go shopping again, so Jing Huaian had already helped her to inquire about it. In less than an hour, he found out about Su Lingling.
"Su Lingling is the daughter of a concubine in the Shangshu Mansion. Her life in the mansion is not easy. She is assigned to do a lot of chores every day. However, she is resourceful and smart. She secretly saved money and started a small business outside."
Yuchi Xi:!!!
【WOW!! You can find this here!】
"She's quite smart. She sneaks out every day after work. Even if she's accidentally caught, she'll give them some hush money like she did today, so the matter never gets to the masters."
After all, if they tell it, they will have to give up the benefits they have gained.
Yuchi Xi nodded in satisfaction, "Then can I meet her?"
"Can."
Jing Huaian bent down and picked up Yuchi Xi, "Let's sneak in."
A mere Shangshu Mansion was a piece of cake for him.
Jing Huaian held her and sneaked into the Shangshu Mansion and went straight to the woodshed where Su Lingling lived.
Yuchi Xi: ...This is a bit too much!
People are actually allowed to live in the woodshed. Could it be that such a huge Shangshu Mansion cannot even find an empty room?
When Yuchi Xi arrived, Su Lingling was washing clothes by the well. Yuchi Xi took a few steps forward, and she immediately turned around and looked at them warily, "Who are you!!"
"This is the Shangshu Mansion, how dare you trespass?"
Yuchi Xi blinked, "Sister, is there a possibility that we are here to visit the Shangshu Mansion?"
Su Lingling frowned, "Impossible, the mansion hasn't received any visiting cards recently. Besides, if someone is coming to visit, they should go to the main hall, not this woodshed."
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Seeing her defensive expression, Yuchi Xi smiled softly, "Don't be nervous, little sister!"
