Minglan bowed with both hands, indicating that he would not speak of what his young lady had not mentioned. He then paused, looked at Tinghai, and asked softly, "Guardian Tinghai, is the relationship between the young lady and the Crown Prince good?"
Upon hearing this, Tinghai glanced at him indifferently and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Ming, I will remain silent." Then, he bowed twice, indicating that he would not speak of anything the young lady had not instructed him to.
Minglan looked at Tinghai.
Tinghai looked at Minglan again.
The former, with a chubby face and a curious smile, didn't look like a master at all; the latter, with furrowed brows and a troubled expression, didn't look like an assassin either.
The former felt he had failed in his duty and should have followed along, while the latter was still thinking about who the young lady was referring to when she approached Suanpizi and said she was having an affair, and he couldn't tell the Crown Prince about it.
So the two looked at each other and gave an awkward laugh.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Xie Lingqin climbed down from the wall, she saw Tinghai and Minglan staring at each other with awkward smiles.
The scene has a strange kind of beauty.
"Miss, the Tinghai Guard wants to know everything about everyone and everything you encountered after leaving the city."
"Miss, Chief Ming wants to know if you have a good relationship with the Crown Prince."
The two spoke at almost the same time, and then stopped speaking at the same time.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them awkwardly covered their mouths at the same time.
Minglan looked somewhat uneasy on his otherwise stern face.
Listening to the sea, he scratched his head guiltily.
"Oh!"
Xie Lingqin walked over and circled the two of them twice, her expression calm and her smile gentle. "You two are quite curious."
"No."
The two spoke in unison, then looked at each other and immediately looked away.
"I'm curious, when did you two become so in sync?"
"Well, I think I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Minglan immediately took her leave, feeling sweat on her back.
Upon seeing this, Tinghai immediately concealed himself.
"So gossipy."
Xie Lingqin smiled and then walked straight towards Ning Xiucai's house.
She still had to go and meet up with Zihe.
However, they encountered Zihe halfway there.
"how?"
“Miss, you are truly farsighted. Scholar Ning and Lord Liu are currently enjoying each other’s company while drinking and reciting poetry. I was getting a headache from listening to them, so I came out to find you.”
"Alright, since that's the case, let's go back to the manor. Hmm, wait a minute, let's go to Tianxia Yiwei first." Xie Lingqin looked at the sky, then turned her gaze away and headed towards Tianxia Yiwei.
This time, the two didn't go through the main gate, but instead slipped in silently through the back door.
Before going in, Xie Lingqin glanced at the shops next door before calming down.
"Bai Yu, how much profit has Tianxia Yiwei made these days?" Xie Lingqin asked directly in the accounting room.
Bai Yu was discussing accounts with Elder Qi when he heard this. He looked at Xie Lingqin, his eyebrows almost jumping up. "I said, Xie Lingqin, what are you trying to do?"
"I need to use it."
"What do you want to use it for?"
Bai Yu clutched the ledger tightly, on high alert, as if afraid Xie Lingqin would snatch it away.
Seeing this, Old Qi covered his mouth and chuckled, "You two really love money to the same extent."
"Old Qi has a good eye."
Old Qi was kind and approachable. He stroked his beard and said, "By the way, you've almost ruined all the vegetables in my field. Don't forget to replant them for me."
"Of course."
As she spoke, Xie Lingqin nodded to Zihe beside her.
Zihe immediately stepped forward, her palm moving like the wind, heading straight for Baiyu, who was about to escape through the window.
Of course, they headed towards the ledger in his arms.
"Damn it, Xie Lingqin, you're so unfair! You actually tried to snatch it!" Bai Yu nimbly dodged to the side.
Zihe stepped forward again.
"I'm about to make a big deal. Stop dawdling and take a look at how much profit we can make."
Xie Lingqin poured herself a cup of tea, leaned against the door frame, and watched with great interest as the two of them flew around the room.
"Xie Lingqin, you little brat, oh no, you woman, you're so unfair! I've worked so hard, and you just talked about a big plan yesterday. Do you know how much money I've spent? And now you're doing this again? You're just trying to kill me!"
Bai Yu was the subject of much discontent.
Xie Lingqin rubbed her brows. "Actually, this money will come back after it's gone, trust me."
"No money, really no money."
"No one would believe that. Who are you, Bai Yu? You're a top-notch manager. Even if you were to carry out the grand plan I mentioned, wouldn't Yu Qingyi and your lover Nie Zuier be the ones to protect you? Besides, wouldn't you have kept some for unforeseen circumstances?"
Xie Lingqin put down her teacup and spoke eloquently.
"No," Bai Yu said firmly. "If you want to buy some rouge and face powder, I can spare some from my own account for you, but as for other things..."
"elder brother."
Suddenly, Bai Ling shouted loudly from the doorway.
Bai Yu was distracted, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been hit in the face by Zi He.
The fighting stopped.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Ling with resentment, "Why did you suddenly call me?"
"Give the account book to Sister Xie." Bai Ling walked in with her hands on her hips, took a few steps forward, and snatched the account book away from Bai Yu when she wasn't paying attention, handing it to Xie Lingqin.
"Ahhh, Bai Ling, you're my sister! You...you...you..."
Bai Ling didn't even glance at her brother, but looked at Xie Lingqin with a smug expression, "Sister Xie, here you go."
"My little sister Bai Ling is the most sensible."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, she gently touched Bai Ling's cheek.
The girl recovered quickly, and she was truly relieved.
