Seeing Liu Chuanzhi's serious look, King Runan turned the jade ring on his hand and asked lightly, "That is your biological daughter, are you willing to let it go?"
Liu Chuanzhi looked away, with a guilty conscience on his face, and whispered, "My daughter is also willing to marry the prince..."
King Runan lowered his head and sneered, leaned lazily on the soft pillow behind him, and said in a deep voice, "That's all, since you come to ask for her, I will go and meet the Lady Yongcheng."
Liu Chuanzhi buried himself lower, his tone filled with joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
King Runan glanced at him, raised his hand to replace the steward beside him, and whispered, "Send a few people over to talk to the widow about the rules."
"yes."
Two words
Bai Ji quickly stepped into the courtyard with a smile on his face, "Madam, this slave is back."
Fang Xu sat on the table, fidgeting with the ashes in the stove with his bare hands. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the words, and responded softly, "You are so happy, what happened?"
Bai Ji happily walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea carelessly, drank it, and then replied with a smile, "Madam asked the slave to check on the Peng family. Now we have some clues."
Fang Xu treated the two maids as friendly and naturally acquiesced to their small actions.
Fang Xu covered the stove top, a smile flashed in his eyes, and asked softly, "What did you find out?"
Bai Ji stood beside her, took out a pamphlet from his arms, flipped through a dozen pages, and whispered, "As Madam expected, this Peng is really not an honest person."
"The informants sent out by the slaves spent a lot of money in Wujiacun, and finally opened the mouths of those people."
"According to what they said, Peng Xiuying went to the village later. She was pregnant before she came and gave birth to a baby boy. Based on time, she was only four years younger than the eldest lady."
Hearing this, Fang Xu's hand paused in the air and looked at Bai Ji with some surprise, "Only four years younger?"
"Yes." Bai Ji nodded heavily, as if he was afraid of being heard, and lowered his voice, "Peng Xiuying led her son alone, and lived a difficult life. Later, she found a man, a butcher in the village, with a surname of Fan and a single name of Long. Character."
"Fan Long didn't care that Mrs. Peng was dirty and married her. The two lived together for several years. During this period, Mrs. Peng became pregnant again, but unfortunately she couldn't keep it. People in the village said that she was already pregnant. baby girl.”
"Later, for some reason, Peng Xiuying suddenly broke up and left with her son. She threw a lot of silver to the people in the village as hush money. She only said that she had found her relatives at home, and didn't mention anything else. and."
Bai Ji closed the booklet with a serious look on his face, "When the people in the village saw that Peng was so generous, they guessed that she was not an ordinary woman. Perhaps they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they took the money one after another and did not dare to reveal the information about her."
Fang Xu glanced at the booklet in her hand, smiled and joked, "This book of yours is quite interesting."
Bai Ji grinned, put the booklet into his cuffs, and said softly, "These are all the items that Madam asked to check, and I have written them down one by one. If anyone in them displeases Madam, I will be able to check them immediately." Take advantage of him."
Hey guys, what's the difference between this and Death Note?
Fortunately, the little girl had a straightforward mind. She raised her face and said seriously, "When everyone in the book is dead, my wife will be safe."
Fang Xu shook his head and laughed, and said quietly, "I'm used to seeing living Bodhisattvas, but this is my first time seeing the living King of Hell."
Bai Ji pursed her pink lips and smiled shyly.
Fang Xu straightened his expression, put his hands on the table, and said slowly, "It seems that most of Peng's children are Liu Chuanzhi's."
Bai Ji nodded hastily and whispered, "I think so too."
Fang Xu was silent for a moment and had an idea in his mind, "Go and find the butcher. There is no need to say anything else. Just tell him that the Peng family is in the capital and lives with his wealthy relatives."
Baiji's eyes lit up and he understood instantly, "Yes, slave, go now!"
"Wait a minute." Fang Xu called her, with a hint of smile on his face, "Go to Su Zi to get some money and buy two chicken legs to replenish yourself. It's been a hard work for you running around these days. .”
When Bai Ji heard that there were chicken legs to eat, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, "Yes, thank you, madam, slave!"
Looking at Bai Ji running away in the distance, Fang Xu laughed helplessly, his eyes fell on the bonsai in front of him, and he was secretly lost in thought.

Fairview Girls' School
The husband was unwell and left school early. Xie Wanzhou arranged the bamboo slips, walked out of the academy accompanied by Zhu Tao, and got into the carriage of the Marquis.
As the car left for Dongshi, a familiar aroma poured into the car.
"parking."
Xie Wanzhou spoke quietly, and the coachman immediately reined in the reins and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong, Miss?"
Zhu Tao also had a puzzled look on his face and tilted his head to look at her.
Xie Wanzhou's eyes were soft, with a faint smile on his lips, and he said softly, "Is there a fragrant roasted chestnut smell outside?"
Hearing this, Zhu Tao turned around and opened the curtains, looked out, and took a closer look, and saw a stall not far away filled with roasted chestnuts.
Zhutao looked surprised, turned around and said, "Young lady is really amazing, she is really like that."
Xie Wanzhou's eyebrows arched and she said softly, "My mother likes to eat chestnuts from this place. Come with me and get out of the car and buy some for her."
Zhutao quickly helped her out of the carriage and said with a smile, "Miss is filial and even remembers Madam's preferences clearly."
The two of them walked towards the chestnut stall one after the other. It was cold and there were not many people on the street. The stall that used to have a long queue now only had four or five people.
"Girl, hold on to the chestnuts you want. They'll be delicious again!"
Xie Wanzhou paid the money and was about to return to the car when he was blocked by a man who appeared out of nowhere.
The man was dressed in a brocade robe, and the embroidery on it was all outlined with gold thread. There were pearl flowers on his crown, and there were even thumb-sized pearls hanging on the collar of his cloak. He was indescribably rich.
The man glanced at Xie Wanzhou up and down, raised one corner of his lips, and asked in a deep voice, "If you are so beautiful, whose girl are you from?"
Xie Wanzhou frowned slightly, took two steps back, and asked softly, "Who are you, and why are you blocking my way for nothing?"
"presumptuous!"
The boy next to the man took two steps forward and shouted loudly.
Zhu Tao's heart tightened, and she quickly protected Xie Wanzhou, "What are you going to do in broad daylight!"
The man clicked his tongue, glared at the boy rather displeased, and whispered, "Shut up, if you scare the girl, watch your skin carefully."
The young man smiled and apologized in a low voice, "I see this girl is disrespectful to you..."
Zhutao was furious and retorted, "You blocked the road for no reason, and you didn't allow my lady to ask questions. How can there be such a reason in the world?"
"It's right to ask, who said it's not allowed to ask?" The man glanced at the young man, then looked at Zhutao with a smile, and saw that she was holding a cloth bag in her hand, and raised his eyebrows, "Is the girl a student of Jinxiu Academy?"
