Chapter 668
"Just as you predicted, they have indeed been keeping an eye on us. Fortunately, our guards are well-hidden and ride fast horses, so they can't keep up. They have now left the city and are heading over there."
Hearing the servant's report, Jixiang felt a pang of anxiety: "Miss, since you were able to predict this, could it be that my mother is actually alright, and this whole thing is just a ploy by them to trick us?"
Yunxi nodded: "I think that's most likely the case."
“That must be it!” Le’an said. “Think about it, even I don’t know where your mother is, how could they possibly know? Don’t worry, take these two days to rest well!”
Jixiang nodded, and just as he was about to say something more, an old woman came over and brought him a piece of jade.
This is a secret code set by the Su family. If someone sees this jade, it means they need to find Jixiang and must ask him to come out and meet them as soon as possible.
Jixiang couldn't just stand by the door waiting for the stone, so Yushi told the Su family that the old woman at Guanjiao Gate was her person, and asked the Su family to give the stone to the old woman, who would then find a way to contact her.
The Yunnan Prince's Mansion was as solid as an iron barrel, inside and out. Jixiang said so, and the old woman cooperated. The Su family did not notice anything amiss, so they agreed.
Looking at the stone, Jixiang was even more flustered: "Miss, this..."
"We'll go later. Calm down first," Yunxi said, raising her chin. "Don't show anything unusual in front of the Su family."
Jixiang nodded.
After a while, Jixiang left Shanshui Residence.
She still looked dazed, but her eyes had calmed down.
When Jixiang walked to the back gate, he saw that the same servant from the previous two days was still waiting there. However, his attitude was completely different from the previous two days. He not only lacked the previous respect, but even seemed a bit arrogant.
Upon seeing Jixiang approach, the servant raised his chin and said, "Oh? Miss Jixiang, what happened to you?"
Jixiang gritted her teeth: "What do you want to do? Just say it!"
The man chuckled and said, "Hey, Miss Jixiang, I still prefer how you were the other day."
Jixiang looked disgusted: "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Jixiang really turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" The servant immediately dared not try to be clever anymore. "Miss Jixiang, you must hold a high position by that person's side. The master has given you three days to bring that person to the side gate. At that time, the master will come to see her in person."
Jixiang frowned deeply: "Why bring her here of all places? It would be more convenient to bring her to the street, but she is a daughter of the Huo family. How could she easily set foot in a filthy place like Jiaomen? Not only is this difficult to handle, but it is also very likely that we will be exposed! If that happens, I'm afraid I will be in deep trouble!"
"Miss Jixiang, how dare you say such a thing? If we really have to talk about it, isn't it all your own fault?"
"If you and that guy hadn't teamed up to scam us last time we went out on the street, none of this would have happened, right?"
"So in the end, you still have to blame yourself!"
Hearing this, Jixiang couldn't help but clench her fists.
The servant was losing patience today. Having said all he needed to say, he said impatiently, "Alright, I've delivered the master's orders. Miss Jixiang, whether your mother is safe and sound depends on your abilities!"
After saying that, the servant turned around, leaving only Jixiang's back view.
Hearing a creak behind him, the servant curled his lip in disdain.
Sure enough, no matter how powerful or divine a person may be, once their weaknesses are exploited, they become nothing.
——
After returning from the side gate, Jixiang told Yunxi what had happened.
