"Then what does the Third Master plan to do? This matter involves the Crown Prince, and the money was provided by Shen Zhao. If something goes wrong, the Shen family may be implicated as well." Su Qingyu asked worriedly.
Shen Zhixiu's bony fingers pointed at the circled area on the topographic map again.
"The most urgent thing right now is to determine where the thing is. Right now, we only know it's in the mountains. If my people enter the mountains, they will be discovered immediately."
"It would be bad to alert the enemy."
Su Qingyu glanced at the circled area and then looked to the side.
Suddenly he asked, "Is this the mountain behind Yuanping Town?"
Shen Zhixiu nodded, "That's it."
Su Qingyu recalled the last time she encountered those things, at the gate of the Chen family's manor in Yuanping Town. Those people must have recognized her and carefully moved the things to the mountains behind.
I have to say, the mountains are a great place to hide things.
An idea came to her mind, and she said, "I have a way to find out where those things are, and it won't easily alert the enemy."
Afterwards, the two discussed for a while, and Shen Zhixiu's expression relaxed a lot. His Qingqing, if he were a man, could go to court to stabilize the country.
After breakfast the next day, Su Qingyu took a carriage out of the city and went to the farm where Aunt Xue lived.
Green grass had already sprouted on the wasteland along the road outside the city. Many people in the town had already taken their hoes to the fields, preparing for spring plowing.
Spring plowing always fills people’s hearts with hope. People smile on their faces and pray for good weather and good harvests in the year.
When Su Qingyu arrived at the gate of the manor where Aunt Xue lived, she found that the door was ajar.
Feicui gently pushed open the door and heard a man's voice coming from the yard.
"I'll plant some melon seeds on this ridge. When the autumn comes, I'll fry them for you. It'll be a nice snack."
Then came Aunt Xue's voice, "Hey, I like eating melon seeds, and Yuankai likes to eat them too. Plant more cabbage, too. I see you like sauerkraut. In the winter, stew it on the small stove with some lard for the best flavor."
"Of course not! This year I'll catch two extra piglets so you and Yuankai can have plenty of meat for the winter."
When Su Qingyu entered the room, she saw Mr. Gao not far away with a happy smile on his face.
Aunt Xue was rubbing clothes by the well, and from time to time she looked at the vegetable field not far away, as if she could already foresee a good harvest.
The corner of her eye suddenly glanced at the door, and Aunt Xue was shocked.
"Miss...Miss, you are here."
