With the matter of the Second Master of the Jue Luo Clan settled, the actions of Yin and Qingyan were being watched. Previously, Yin had specifically instructed the gatekeeper not to let outsiders discover that the Second Master of the Jue Luo Clan and his wife had come.
"Mother, why have you come over?" Jue Luo Shi heard the news and came over immediately, afraid that Jue Luo Shi's people would come to cause trouble again.
"Little darling, did those two say anything?" Jue Luo asked anxiously.
Qingyan shook her head. The second master of the Jueluo family wanted to protect that concubine, but the second madam was different; she didn't want that concubine to gain favor.
"The Second Madam is intelligent and knows what can be asked for and what cannot be asked for." Lady Jue Luo thought highly of the Second Madam. Regardless of whether the Second Madam was good to her or not, she was good to the Second Master.
"Is Fourth Master angry?" When Lady Jue Luo heard that Yin had personally taken action, she was very worried that it would bring disaster upon her daughter.
In the past, if Qingyan encountered such a matter, Yin would have resolved it directly. Today, however, he made Qingyan take action, which clearly indicates that he wanted to sever the connection between Qingyan and the Jue Luo clan.
"No, Mother, I won't interfere in my maternal family's affairs anymore. Please keep an eye on things, Father doesn't like you meddling either!" Qingyan could sense that Feiyanggu hoped Jueluo would focus all her attention on the children.
"Little darling, is there really no way to salvage your uncle's situation?" Jue Luo Shi still hoped that her brother could be safe, or at least not be targeted by the royal family.
"Mother, it was an official from Jiangnan who gave a woman to my uncle." Qingyan spoke very vaguely, even concealing the name of the person who gave the woman.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jue Luo felt a chill of fear. It turned out that her own brother had also been tricked.
"Is it for the Fourth Prince?" Since the Jue Luo clan had lost its influence, the only reason the officials from the south could send someone to frame them was Yin.
Qingyan was also quite annoyed, as many officials' wives had hoped to send their children to the Fourth Prince's residence during this period.
"It shouldn't be!" Qingyan sighed. If it was possible for Yin to be involved, then the possibility of Fei Yanggu and his two sons was even greater, as they all held significant military power.
"Mother, why have you come to the south?" Qingyan asked Jue Luo Shi with a puzzled look.
“He just arrived yesterday. Your father came to report on his duties, and I was worried about him, so I came with him!” Jue Luo Shi quickly said.
Qingyan was relieved. If Fei Yanggu were to abandon his post, the censors would definitely not let this opportunity pass and would certainly attack Fei Yanggu directly.
The command of the navy has become a coveted prize among many families. When the navy was first established, the big families were all watching and worrying that if they put their people into the navy and it failed to be established, these people would really be useless.
Now, the navy has received the most attention. Emperor Kangxi personally inspected it twice, and all of this has caught the attention of the powerful families. Fei Yanggu and his two sons, along with the eldest son of the Yin Genjueluo clan, have clearly become the focus of everyone's attention.
Both Yin and Yin had legitimate sons. If they placed their female relatives around these two men, they would be too obvious targets. So, they began to look for a roundabout way to achieve their goal.
The heads of the Yin Genjue Luo and Ulanara clans were both very shrewd. When they encountered officials offering gifts, they generally refused them and could only look for targets on the periphery.
The Jue Luo clan came into the sights of these people, and Li Xu certainly wouldn't let today's opportunity pass by, so he directly gave them away.
Outside, many people were watching. When the Second Master of the Jue Luo family entered the Fourth Master's residence and left quickly, the Second Madam's face was beaming with joy, and they understood the situation somewhat.
"Little darling, is Fourth Master really not angry?" Jue Luo Shi was still worried and asked directly.
"Mother, I swear, Fourth Prince is definitely not angry. He just doesn't want our family to get involved. Has anyone come to see you recently?" Qingyan quickly told Jue Luo about the arrangements in Jiangnan and tried to participate as little as possible in the gatherings of officials' families in the south.
She heard that as long as you attend the gathering, not many people can leave empty-handed. They usually take two or three maids with them. When a family goes on a southern tour, don't they bring maids with them?
"Yes, I just arrived yesterday, and an invitation was immediately sent over. Are these people keeping an eye on every residence?" Jue Luo felt a little out of touch. In the capital, the women were all in small groups, and within these groups, everyone was gathering information for their masters.
Qingyan nodded in agreement. How often do such things happen?
"In the south, the officials led by the Cao family have basically made some preparations. There will be their people in every courtyard," Qingyan said with some emotion.
Jue Luo was stunned. Her prediction was indeed accurate. Qing Yan rarely sent messages to the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, probably because she was afraid that the messages would be intercepted by these people.
"What about the villa in our mansion?" The Ulanara family does have a villa in Jiangnan, where Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo live.
"There will definitely be people serving inside," Qingyan said bitterly.
Jue Luo was stunned. She had checked several times in the past few days after moving in, and the servants were all very clean, so she felt at ease using the place.
"Didn't Father say anything?" Qingyan asked, looking at Jue Luo Shi.
Fei Yanggu must have heard from Yin that the people Kangxi sent cannot be moved, and the same goes for the Crown Prince. Therefore, the chances of being able to move any personnel are very slim.
In Jiangnan, the person Kangxi trusted most was Cao Yin, so it was the right thing to do to entrust Cao Yin with the task of planting spies in the courtyard!
"He hasn't said yet," Jue Luo said with a headache. Fei Yanggu was only afraid of a few people, and there was nothing to be afraid of about the rest. "Little darling, your father is very calm. You could say it's as if nothing has happened."
After saying that, Qingyan was completely dumbfounded. She didn't know whether Fei Yanggu was unable to punish those spies because of his own reasons, or because he hadn't discovered anything at all.
“Mother, I think Father has probably already discovered it, but he can’t do anything about it yet, right?” Qingyan didn’t want Fei Yanggu to always be tied down.
In Jiangnan, Cao Yin really put in a lot of effort for Emperor Kangxi. When Kangxi suggested preparing a night market, Cao Yin didn't allow it to close.
Otherwise, Cao Yin would certainly have banned the night market, just like the officials around him.
"Mother, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you're here, why don't we go there for a stroll in a few days?" Qingyan thought to herself, it would be great if we could go there more often.
"You've been thinking about it?" Jue Luo Shi had heard that Qing Yan had come over and was looking into going to the night market.
