When Yu Jin left the alley, his steps were lighter than ever before.

Like other princely palaces, Prince Yan's Palace was located where royal relatives and nobles gathered.

He walked to the gate, his heart filled with joy. He could not help but rub the head of the stone lion at the gate, causing the palace guards to open their eyes wide.

After glancing at the strange-looking disciple, Yu Jin strode in.

Compared to the small houses in Quezi Hutong, the palace is naturally much larger, with pavilions, towers, and numerous courtyards. People who visit for the first time will certainly be dizzy and confused.

But for Yu Jin, he still felt that the house with a crooked jujube tree at the door was the most convenient.

As soon as you enter the door you will see the courtyard. The tall albizzia trees block out the sun. It is very comfortable to sit under the trees and enjoy the cool in the summer. The albizzia flowers that look like small fans seem to be blooming all the time, embellishing the long and leisurely time.

This huge palace was empty. Yu Jin thought about it carefully and realized that it was mainly missing a hostess.

Erniu was hiding at the foot of the wall. When he saw his owner coming back, he looked at him listlessly and then put his face back on his front legs.

To the big dog who had had enough of his master's old face, Yu Jin's status had been declining again and again. Originally, he might have been worth a basin of meat and bones, but now he was probably only worth a piece of meat and bones.

"Erniu, come here." Yu Jin wanted to share this good mood with others, but after thinking it over, he felt that Long Dan and Leng Ying were not as reliable as Erniu.

Erniu wagged his tail and ignored it.

Yu Jian didn't mind, she walked over happily, hugged Erniu's head and rubbed it hard.

"Woo woo——" Erniu protested with a confused look on his face.

Long Dan stretched his neck to take a look, bumped into Leng Ying, and whispered, "There's something wrong with the master today!"

Leng Ying put away the bowstring, turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, why are you running?" Long Dan shouted in confusion.

Leng Ying walked away in the blink of an eye, and then he heard Yu Jin say, "Long Dan, come and practice with me."

Long Dan: “…” Leng Ying, this bastard who has no love from his companions!

Not to mention that Long Dan was ravaged by his master and was in excruciating pain, Jiang Si returned to Haitangju and sat on the beauty couch, starting to feel ashamed of his previous behavior.

How cowardly and irresolute you are! How can you get back on the pirate ship just because of a few words from the other party?

Jiang Si, are you such a shameless person?

A villain in my heart kept muttering: Yes, yes, you are. Are you stupid? Since marrying any man is risky, what's wrong with marrying a good-looking man whom you like?

Jiang Si rubbed his face with his hands.

She couldn't think about it any further; her current vacillation was a little dangerous.

Ah Man stood aside, watching his daughter's expression changing over and over again, and sighed in worry.

What on earth is the girl thinking? Wouldn't it be nice to take out the Salijinger who committed murder and arson that night?

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

The autumn wind is getting cooler day by day, and the air begins to smell like chrysanthemums and drunken crabs.

The Jinshui River is even busier at this time of year than in summer.

Admiring chrysanthemums and eating crabs is not only a pleasure for the rich and powerful, but also a feast for scholars and famous courtesans.

Jiang Si saw Ah Fei, who was still drunk, in a private house.

The alcohol was a little bit off, but Ah Fei's eyes were clear. Jiang Si's wrinkled brows relaxed again, motioning Ah Fei to sit down and answer.

Ah Fei was very tactful and sat down far away from Jiang Siyuan, saying awkwardly: "I drank too much these past two days, and my internal organs have become like a wine jar."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ah Fei waved his hands quickly: "It's not hard, not hard at all."

Oh my God, let him continue to live like this.

"Did you gain anything in the past two days?"

Ah Fei couldn't help but sit up straight and put away his playful expression: "I don't know if it will be of any use to the girl, but I did hear a few drunken words from those two men."

Jiang Si personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ah Fei, motioning him to continue.

"I treated them to two drinks. The first time they were a little cautious, but the second time they drank freely. When we were almost done, I asked them if it was not uncommon to sell young ladies on brothels. Guess what they said?"

Jiang Si knocked the table with his fan and said angrily, "Don't keep me in suspense."

Ah Fei quickly became honest: "One of the men said that selling a girl is not a big deal, but it is rare for a man to sell a girl twice."

Jiang Si was confused by what he heard, frowned and asked, "What does it mean to sell it twice?"

"That person said that a maid who served the top prostitute was redeemed not long ago, but not long after, her brother came to sell her because he was in debt from gambling. It's funny, how can a girl who had sex on a brothel be priced the same as a virgin? Did that person think that they wouldn't recognize his sister if he changed her name?"

Jiang Si pursed her lips and continued to listen to Ah Fei.

A Fei leaned forward slightly and said with a bit of pride and credit: "Girl, the girl who was sold twice is called Qing'er."

Ah Fei had seen Qing'er in the crowd that day. Later, Jiang Si asked him to go to Jinshui River to inquire about the news and specifically reminded him to pay attention to all the news about Qing'er.

After finding out this, Ah Fei's three days of hard work were not in vain.

Jiang Si couldn't help but stand up, paced around the house for a few steps, stopped and asked Ah Fei: "Who is Qing'er's brother, where does he live, have you found out?"

This time Ah Fei shook his head and said, "No, that person said he only met Qing Er's brother in the casino. If we ask him any more, we can't get any information. I guess they really don't know."

Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "Since Qing'er's brother is a frequent visitor to the casino, have you ever gone to the casino to ask around?"

"I've asked them, but unfortunately they only know that Qing'er's brother is called Yang Da, and he doesn't match the name in the casino." At this point, Ah Fei subconsciously defended himself, "Miss, you don't know that there are too many people like Qing'er's brother in the casino. There are countless people who sell their houses, land, children, daughters, and wives because of gambling debts. It's not unusual for him to sell his sister for a few taels of silver. No one will even look at such a person."

Jiang Si walked to the eight-immortals table and sat down again, playing with the fan in his hand.

"The man said that Qing'er's brother changed his sister's name, so what was Qing'er called before?"

This time, Ah Fei did not hesitate and said, "Call her Yu'er. Because Yu'er is the maid who serves the top girl. Although she is inconspicuous, many people know her."

Sunny and Rainy, this is really interesting.

Jiang Si pondered over these two names and was once again certain that there was something seriously wrong with Qing'er who was now in the Zhu family.

However, it would be unwise to start from the Zhu family at this moment. If one wants to unravel the mystery, one must start from the flower boat.

"Then who redeemed Qing'er before? Could it be her brother?"

A brother who loves gambling and has sold his sister twice, after winning a sum of money from gambling, the first thing he should think of is to win more money, rather than to have a change of heart and redeem his sister, right?
