After the words came out, the two looked at each other, each of their eyes full of mockery.
The reason, of course, is that both of them thought of using their son. He was reborn, and his voice was transparent, which made him a perfect cheating tool that no one could detect!
Little Yanzhi naturally had no idea that he, a mere nine-month-old baby, was being so blatantly thought of...
When I woke up the next day, the autumn air was clear 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.
He leaned over and pecked it. It was so sweet and soft that he couldn't get enough of it.
But more people didn't dare to do so, 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 stepped lightly when getting out of bed, as if he had sneaked into bed...
Finally, I managed not to wake Jiang Ying up.
Get dressed quickly and leave the house.
Stretching, Yan Zhuo felt ashamed that he had been indulging in pleasure these days and had not done any serious work!
For example, continuing Jiang Ying's investigation, we should find out whether there is a problem with Eunuch Wei in the library, or whether Eunuch Qin is not simple?
Or further explore the extent of the battle of wits and courage between Yaocheng Situ Fang and Jiang Shang?
And then there was Xinghua Village. Their plans had been disrupted time and again. What on earth was going on in that village? Thinking of this, Yan Zhuo decided it was better to do it now than wait for another day. He decided not to bring Jiang Ying with him, letting her rest at home while he took Qi Ren or Kunan with him. He could just let her know if he found out anything.
He walked down the stairs and was about to look for someone when Qi Ren and Kunan came hand in hand, looking very excited!
Yan Zhuo glanced at them with an oppressive look, "I've been ill these days and haven't been able to discipline you. You're all laughing and joking around. How can this be allowed?"
Qi Ren bared his teeth, "Your Highness, there is some progress on the matter of Xinghua Village!"
"What?"
Yan Zhuo raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. It was not that he doubted 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 couldn't be delayed any longer. Besides, he didn't want to wait for Jiang Ying to wake up and ask him about it, only to find he didn't know the answer to any of his questions.
Because when he woke up, he told her not to worry and that he would take care of everything.
He didn't bother to argue about the rules with his two subordinates for a moment, and walked sideways 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 sudden dryness in my throat that went all the way to the top of my head.
Yan Zhuo coughed, and Qi Ren immediately poured him some cold tea.
He muttered quietly, "These people in Sister Ying's courtyard are too lazy. Why don't they even prepare hot tea for the prince?"
Yan Zhuo took a sip of cold tea and immediately thought of the incident of yelling at people last night. He felt that they were in the way. Besides, it was normal that Siyu and Yinrui had no time to comfort their son who was crying and looking for his mother.
"Well, let's get down to business." He subconsciously cleared his throat to cover up.
Qi Ren seemed not to understand and continued to say that he mainly hoped there would be a few more servants in the main courtyard so that Siyu would not be so busy that he would not see her for the whole day.
But Kunan was quick-eyed and pulled Qi Ren.
"The prince asked you to get down to business and stop talking nonsense."
"Oh." Qi Ren bit back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, feeling very depressed. "Your Highness, it's like this, the direction of our investigation has been wrong!"
Qi Ren's tone was clearly filled with indignation:
"I thought the blood curse was only related to that black-hearted Madam Jiang.
Actually, it is not.
Madam Jiang's brother, Master Cao, knows something!
The subordinates were in a hurry at the time and didn't care about anything else. They cut the Gordian knot and quietly captured the man. After torturing him, Master Cao Er confessed with tears and snot.
He said it was his youngest son who did it.
The purpose is to transfer the fortune of the Jiang family of the Duke's Mansion to their Cao family.
In a few years or even decades, the once-powerful Jiang family will gradually fall, while the descendants of the Cao family will gradually rise to prominence in the capital!"
Moreover, to achieve this effect, it is necessary to collect the blood of all people with the surname Jiang in the Duke's Mansion and activate an ancient spell.
It seems difficult, but Nanny Jiang has been serving in the mansion for a long time. It is easy for her to get the blood of the masters, right?
No wonder Nanny Jiang had no regrets at all when she died, because the curse was cast and her mission to the Cao family was accomplished!
When Yan Zhuo heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter. "What's the name of Cao Er's youngest son?"
Kunan replied, "Cao Shun, nicknamed Goudan, was said to have been mute as a child. Even when he was seven or eight years old, his parents wouldn't call him.
However, one time he sneaked out of the village and accidentally entered the Buhui Valley not far from the village. The whole village thought that he was finished and there was no way he could come back. After all, in the past ten years, no one had entered the Buhui Valley and came back alive. Guess what happened, Your Highness?
Oh my, that’s amazing!
Not only was he unharmed and never left the valley, he also learned to speak. Although he could only utter a few words throughout the year, he was no longer a little mute..."
In short, the more Qi Ren and Kunan investigated, the more they felt that Xinghua Village might appear ordinary on the surface, but was actually very mysterious!
It was this Cao Shun, who was quiet and taciturn, but was indeed a ruthless man!
Yan Zhuo listened and pondered, his fingers tapping unintentionally on the table.
After a while, he looked at Qi Ren again, "How about Cao Er now? Find a way to capture Cao Shun. I don't want to waste any more time on him."
If you have that much time, you might as well spend more time cultivating the relationship with the mother and son at home.
But after he asked for a while, neither Qi Ren nor Kunan responded.
Yan Zhuo raised his eyes and found that the two of them were standing there, poking each other, encouraging each other like children.
"What are you doing? Are you itchy?" Yan Zhuo said angrily.
During the past few months when he was a living dead, his subordinates seemed to have relaxed a little too much.
Especially Qi Ren and Kunan, as well as some of the Demonic Guards who should have been on high alert at all times.
This made Yan Zhuo very uncomfortable.
He said in a cold voice, "You two have been doing a lot of mediocre work lately. I haven't even had the time to reprimand you. So, are you planning to cause some new trouble?"
"I dare not." Kunan knew that a man of action is a hero, so he planned to put it off until later.
However, Qi Ren didn't want to do that. He was still waiting for the money to buy a betrothal gift for Siyu!
So, the cheeky man said with a joking smile, "Your Highness, what you said before you lay down on the bed, does it still count?"
