Chapter 553 I'll Check Her Out Later

Wei Shiqing couldn't help laughing again: "If your concubine sister hears this, she will probably come to make trouble for you again."

Mu Rujun held the whip tightly, not caring at all: "Come and make trouble if you want. What did you say to me last time? Anyway, I can't have children. Why don't you let her marry into the East Palace and make her your concubine? When she gives birth to a child, I will raise it under my name."

The smile on Wei Shiqing's face disappeared immediately: "She also said such words?"

Mu Rujun smiled very briefly and said jokingly, "Of course. But I told her that your brother-in-law, the prince, is not the kind of person who doesn't care about food and drink. He would even like someone like you. She covered her face and cried as she left, saying that I insulted her and asked the prince's brother-in-law to judge."

Wei Shiqing frowned: "But I haven't seen her these days."

Mu Rujun said calmly: "Of course, because she left crying with her face covered, and the next thing I did was to have her thrown out of the palace."

Wei Shiqing was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing, and the more he laughed, the happier he became. Finally, he hugged Mu Rujun and kissed her on the face.

Mu Rujun pretended to be disgusted and gently pushed Wei Shiqing. Wei Shiqing grabbed Mu Rujun's hand, and the two laughed and played for a while, then fell into the bed, and the bed curtain fell down...

…

It was a sunny day on the day of the palace examination. Early in the morning, Yu Yongliu entered the palace with other students.

Bai Xiaofeng was anxiously waiting for the results of the palace examination, so he took Xingxing to a teahouse and asked for a private room.

As a result, just after I sat down and drank half a cup of tea, someone pushed the door open.

Who did Bai Xiaofeng just want to talk about?

It turned out to be her son Gui Ge'er.

Bai Xiaofeng jumped up immediately: "You've been away from home all day, and you still remember to come back when your brother is taking the imperial examination today!"

Gui Ge'er skillfully circled around the table to avoid his mother's pursuit. He knew that he could only hide half a circle, and Xing Xing would definitely be able to persuade his mother to stop.

Sure enough, Xing Xing quickly grabbed Bai Xiaofeng and gave her another round of persuasion.

Only after completing this process could Gui Ge'er sit down.

The maid poured tea for Gui Ge'er. Xing Xing was still looking at Gui Ge'er's clothes. Bai Xiaofeng said with disgust: "What kind of clothes are you wearing?... If you have no money, won't you ask your mother for it?"

As she spoke, Bai Xiaofeng's eyes turned red with distress, and she couldn't help nagging, "You're not at home every day, and your father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother don't expect you to achieve much. Look at you, you've made yourself look so dirty..."

Bai Xiaofeng groped around for silver, took out a few banknotes, and threw them into Gui Ge'er's arms.

It turned out that this time, Gui Ge'er was wearing a coarse linen shirt and his face was a little chapped, as if he had been crawling around in the fields for a while.

Xing Xing didn't say anything, but silently took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Gui Ge'er: "Fourth brother, wipe your face."

Gui Ge'er still had a playful look on his face: "Hey, Mom, don't think too much. Look, Xingxing has seen it--" He took Xingxing's handkerchief and wiped it all over his face.

The wrinkles and yellowness on his face were peeled off in an instant, covering his entire face, leaving only the vague outline of a handsome young man.

Bai Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment: "You, you..."

"I'm doing some work outside!" Gui Ge'er smiled and waved the banknote that Bai Xiaofeng had just thrown to him. "But mother, now that the money is in my hands, I don't care. It's mine!"

Bai Xiaofeng's hands were itching again, and he wished he could jump up and hammer this naughty boy to death.

But looking at the coarse linen clothes on her son, Bai Xiaofeng tried to hold back, but still couldn't bear to do it.

Finally, he could only close his eyes and mutter to himself, "I hope Bang'er won't grow up to be like his fourth brother! Otherwise, I will lose many years of my life!"

Gui Ge'er smiled and went to wash his hands again.

Bai Xiaofeng looked at him and became angry again: "We're leaving soon anyway, why are you washing your hands? And you still want to eat with us?"

"Mom, I came here today for something important." Gui Ge'er's voice came over.

Bai Xiaofeng snorted.

Gui Ge'er cleaned his face and washed his hands, then sat down next to Bai Xiaofeng with a smile: "Mom, my arms are long, I'll pick up some food for you later."

Bai Xiaofeng cursed a few more times, but was finally coaxed into smiling by Gui Ge'er.

After Gui Ge'er coaxed Bai Xiaofeng, he looked at Xing Xing again and said, "Xing Xing, this matter has something to do with you."

Xingxing exclaimed, "Huh?"

Gui Ge'er said, "Xingxing, someone is checking you out."

Xing Xing exclaimed again: "Check me?"

Gui Ge'er nodded: "Yes, but it's been a short time. My people are still following them and haven't figured out what they are up to."

Bai Xiaofeng was anxious: "What should we do? Why would someone go to investigate Xingxing out of the blue? Are they going to harm Xingxing?"

Gui Ge'er comforted his mother: "Mom, it is not clear whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. But Xingxing always brings someone with her when she goes out these days, so there will be no problem."

Bai Xiaofeng was a little confused, but after Gui Ge'er said this, she seemed to have grasped the main point and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right."

At this point, Bai Xiaofeng suddenly realized, "Gui Ge'er, you are in this state, are you following those people?"

Gui Ge'er smiled and said, "Some of my subordinates are doing the tracking. I did this because I was actually looking for something somewhere. However, I found out some unexpected things."

Xing Xing looked at Gui Ge'er curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Feng Ran."

Xing Xing was a little surprised when she heard this name coming out of Guiger's mouth.

"Feng Ran?"

Xingxing still remembered this maid. She was a maid in Yu Mingzhu's courtyard. More importantly, she was the one who destroyed Wei Shuangyan's Fate-Changing Tower, almost killed everyone in Prince Jiping's Mansion, and almost harmed the old lady of Duke Xin's Mansion.

However, when this name came out of Gui Ge'er's mouth, it was somewhat...

Gui Ge'er nodded affirmatively: "I was looking for something a few days ago, and I flipped through a directory, and I actually saw Feng Ran's name on it...Feng Ran, this maid, is not an ordinary person."

Gui Ge'er saw Bai Xiaofeng looking at him nervously. He paused, changed his tone, and smiled, "She was a eliminated person from our side. She has mastered some basic skills such as gathering information... She doesn't look like a fool who has blinded her eyes for love."

Xing Xing nodded silently and told Gui Ge'er about her discovery: "...In fact, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Mingzhu, is also very suspicious. She was very nervous when we were just searching her yard. Later, when Grandma Da Xi pulled Feng Ran out, she explained Feng Ran's motives clearly with a look of deep pain, as if she was afraid that Feng Ran would not be able to come up with an excuse."

Gui Ge'er touched his chin and said, "Yes, now that you put it that way, it is indeed very suspicious. OK!"

Gui Ge'er clapped his hands and said, "Let's go check her out later!"
