He Jiu Niang's eyes darted around, and suddenly she wanted to go in and see what was going on.
He went without hesitation, disappearing into the courtyard in a flash.
The courtyard was empty, and a breeze blew through it, causing the red silk to flutter incessantly, which looked rather eerie.
Faint voices could be heard coming from inside the room, a man and a woman, their tone very urgent.
He Jiuniang knew that Qian Xing was entertaining guests in the front yard. Most of the guests today were officials, and he had to entertain them personally, so he didn't have time to come here.
So, who is the man inside?
He Jiuniang's mouth formed an "o" shape, and she subconsciously felt that she might be able to hear some big gossip today. She quickly leaned forward so that she could hear more clearly.
The woman's voice said, "What did you promise me before? Now it's like this, and the matter isn't resolved yet. Do you really expect me to sleep with that old man?"
The male voice said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who knew the plans would keep getting disrupted lately? Anyway, you're no longer a virgin, so what's wrong with taking a nap? Stop dawdling. Remember what I told you before, or you'll ruin everything!"
The woman's voice said, "What do you mean by that? That's not what you said before!"
The male voice said, "Do you think you still have a chance to back out now? Alright, we're all just doing things for the organization. If we do a good job, you'll be the one who gets the benefits. Don't make it sound like I'm forcing you!"
After saying that, the man turned and left, completely disregarding the woman's feelings.
The woman angrily smashed things, but the man didn't care at all. After coming out, he found that there was no one around and quickly left.
He Jiuniang watched from a distance, clicking her tongue repeatedly: "Good heavens, these two siblings are also in disguise. No wonder they didn't look like them at all before."
The speakers were Guan Yuping and Guan Yulian, a brother and sister. Judging from their words, it seemed that Guan Yulian still refused to give herself to Qian Xing. In other words, Qian Xing hadn't received any benefits during this time and had been helping the brother and sister do their immoral things.
That's really interesting!
How upset would Qian Xing be if he found out he was taken advantage of?
No rush, you'll know soon.
After eating the melon, He Jiuniang no longer wanted to look at Guan Yulian. In any case, she would never help her. After all, Qian Xing had done so much for them but hadn't received any benefit in return. What a loss!
However, considering that Qian Xing and Lu Baichuan are officials in the same court, He Jiuniang wants to play the good guy and have Qian Xing turn into a wolf tonight to make up for all the debts he owed!
Yes, He Jiuniang felt that she was a really good person.
After leaving the courtyard, I continued with my business.
This time, He Jiuniang didn't wander around the other courtyards; she went straight to Qian Xing's study.
On this joyous occasion, everyone was a bit relaxed. Even with guards around, it wasn't a difficult task for He Jiu Niang. She easily bypassed them and climbed over into the study.
Just like when she went to Xinran's basement last time, He Jiuniang quickly found some letters and ledgers, and even replaced Qian Xing's official seal. She then used the high technology in her space to make a copy and put it back exactly as it was. The whole process took no more than ten minutes.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard a commotion outside. He Jiuniang instinctively hid herself and watched everything from the shadows, looking like she was watching a melon seed.
"Young Master, this is not right. Let's go back first!"
A slightly anxious male voice was about to rang out, and He Jiuniang immediately identified the owner of the voice as a servant.
"My mind is made up. You stay outside and guard the door. If anyone comes, notify them immediately!"
Another young voice came from outside, and the person quickly entered the study and locked the servant outside.
He Jiuniang also saw his appearance clearly. He had delicate and handsome features and looked to be about the same age as Lu Xiaoyang. His eyebrows resembled those of Qian Xing's ex-wife, Xia Shi. If there were no surprises, this was Qian Xing and Xia Shi's son.
The boy searched around the study and found the letters that He Jiuniang had looked through before, but he didn't care and just put them aside, continuing to search.
Soon, he found a box full of deeds, including land deeds, house deeds, and even a stack of silver notes.
He Jiuniang took a closer look and realized it was worth several thousand taels.
Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Qian Xing to be so rich. This is not the wealth of a mere prefect. It seems he has done quite a few immoral things over the years!
However, it's hard to say for sure, since the Xia family is wealthy, and it might be Xia family money.
Doesn't this just mean that Qian Xing is living off a woman?
She's the kind of person who lives off a woman.
Thinking of this, He Jiuniang rolled her eyes.
Qian Xing, you're really something.
However, He Jiuniang didn't have time to think too much; the boy's mutterings gave her access to even more gossip.
"These things all belong to Mother. We can't let that vixen steal them from Mother!"
"I really don't know what kind of bewitching drug the old man has been given. That woman isn't pretty at all, but he treats her like a treasure all the time!"
"I'll transfer all of these things to my mother's name. Let's see how you all live from now on!"
"You kicked my mother out of the house, I'll make you regret ever begging her for help!"
...
As the boy spoke, he continued searching and eventually obtained Qian Xing's private seal. He then wrote a transfer agreement on the spot, imitating Qian Xing's handwriting to sign and stamp it, and also affixed both Qian Xing's private seal and official seal.
Then, the boy hid the contracts and banknotes in his pocket before opening the door to call the servant: "Go, go, see? I told you nothing would happen! He's having a good time drinking in the front yard right now, he won't care about any of this."
The young man gave a smug snort, then quickly left amidst the servant's flattery.
He Jiuniang jumped down from the roof beam, looked at the study that the young man had restored to its original state, and gave a thumbs up in the direction of the door.
666!
Xia was a rather intelligent and reserved person who didn't like to show off her children in front of others. She only needed to know that she had two sons and a daughter. Her eldest son was working as a minor official to gain experience, her younger son was still studying, and her daughter was about the same age as Lianhua.
As for what kind of people her three children are, He Jiuniang doesn't know, but judging from the young master's actions today, he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
At this moment, he did not hold a grudge against anyone. Instead, he took advantage of the lax security in the study to transfer Qian Xing's assets and seek some benefits for his mother who had been forced out of the house.
Regardless of other factors, at this moment, He Jiuniang thought highly of this young master. He was intelligent, bold, and meticulous. With proper upbringing, he could become a pillar of society in the future.
But the situation is a bit delicate now. He is not only Xia's son, but also Qian Xing's son. If Qian Xing's crime is established, his children will suffer along with him.
Most seriously, Qian Xing has essentially colluded with foreign enemies. Whether he knew it or not, he was indeed aiding and abetting a villain, which is simply unacceptable.
