The Ji family residence.
Since arriving at the Ji residence, Meixiang has been doing chores every day, just like the other servants.
Although Jiang Wan sent people to take care of Ji Rong, Ji Rong already had servants from the Ji family looking after him, so it wasn't their turn. She was only responsible for chores like boiling water and sweeping.
Meixiang is quick-witted.
The old lady valued this quality in her, which is why she bought her from human traffickers. She disguised herself as Granny Chang's niece to get close to Xingzhi Courtyard.
After a while, Meixiang indeed discovered two unusual things.
One of them was the maid who accompanied them, Xiuyu.
Xiuyu was not only eccentric, but also mysterious, and could not be seen all day long. The steward of the Ji family never assigned her any tasks.
Another time, Meixiang saw her coming out of Ji Huaichuan's room, acting mysteriously; there must be something wrong.
Then there was the imperial physician sent from the palace.
The Ji family set aside a courtyard for the imperial physician, which was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to approach it at will.
It was said that His Majesty sent him to treat Ji Rong, but according to Mei Xiang's observation, this imperial physician personally visited Ji Rong very few times, and most of the time he sent a servant to deliver the medicine.
Where can you find a doctor who diagnoses patients like this, especially an imperial physician? It's far too perfunctory.
Moreover, Meixiang once heard from Xiuyu that this imperial physician's surname was Jin, and he was not the imperial physician Sun at all.
Xiuyu covered her mouth after speaking, clearly having accidentally let something slip.
Meixiang followed the instructions of the matriarch and dared not send messages easily, keeping these doubts in her heart.
Then one day, she received news that Granny Chang had actually taken the initiative to ask her to meet.
Meixiang was very excited. She was eager to report her discovery to the matriarch to prove her worth.
She noted down the time and place on the paper, and was about to throw the note into the brazier when a maid suddenly entered and called her, saying that Ji Rong urgently needed hot water in his courtyard.
Meixiang casually tucked the note under her pillow and then went outside.
After dealing with the situation, he hurriedly returned to his room and breathed a sigh of relief when he found the note intact under his pillow. He then threw it into the brazier to burn and went out to sweep and clean.
The moment the door closed, a person jumped down from the shadows under the eaves.
Ah Si chuckled and nimbly climbed out the window to leave.
In her letter that day, Jiang Wan instructed him to keep a close eye on Mei Xiang.
He followed her for several days and finally saw the girl slip up.
