"What did you say?"
Luo Yao stood up in shock and looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan sat there without changing his expression, raised his eyes coldly and said: "As long as you help me this time, I will give you ten thousand taels and let you move out of the abandoned hospital, how about it?"
He asked Luo Yao to take him back to Prince Li's Mansion, and announced that Prince Li was seriously ill, and wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and find out the real culprit behind the plot.
Asking Luo Yao to cooperate with him in this play is actually testing Luo Yao and wanting to know who she is.
"But I still have very important things to do in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Luo Yao said.
She also wants to get back Lan Qin's inheritance and find out the real cause of Lan Qin's death.
"I'll give you half a day to handle the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we'll leave tonight."
"Half a day?" Luo Yao opened her eyes wide, "When did I promise you?"
"Didn't you just say 'help with anything'? Didn't that mean you agreed?" Xiao Yan asked back.
Luo Yao was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it, she suddenly realized and looked at Xiao Yan.
"You want me to help you find the murderer who hurt you, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yan didn't hide anything from her.
She sat down with her arms folded proudly, leaned closer to him, and asked, "I've helped you so much, and you only give me this little benefit?"
He frowned in displeasure, "What else do you want?"
"I want to make peace."
He finally wanted something for himself, so it would be best to take advantage of the opportunity to break up.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at her, "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't mention peace and separation, but only money?"
"You are allowed to regret it, but I am not allowed to regret it?"
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, walked back, and lay back on the bed without saying a word.
She hurried to the bedside and asked condescendingly: "What do you mean?"
"I don't need your help anymore."
There are many opportunities to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and test her. He will never agree to reconcile and let her go like this.
"Really no need?"
Xiao Yan turned sideways with his back to her, unwilling to pay attention to her anymore.
She looked at Xiao Yan's back in confusion and asked, "You were unwilling to marry me in the first place. Why did you refuse so many times when there were rare opportunities for reconciliation?"
Xiao Yan lay motionless on his side and did not reply.
She couldn't help but move closer and asked, "You can't say you hate me on your lips, but actually you like me in your heart?"
"Ha!" Xiao Yan sneered coldly, "Look in the mirror more often, and you won't say such things."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Yan didn't reply again.
"I am not the most beautiful woman in the world. I am one of the few beauties in the world. At least I am more beautiful than your Liu Yinyin."
Xiao Yan ignored him.
After being angry for a long time, Luo Yao finally remembered that she still had business to do, and said to Xiao Yan again: "Lie down and recuperate yourself. I have to go out today."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned around quickly and asked, "Where are you going?"
"What? You don't want me to leave?"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at her angrily. It was not that he was reluctant to let her go, but he wanted to know her whereabouts thoroughly to prevent her from secretly meeting someone again.
"You are not allowed to go." Xiao Yan ordered.
"Where I want to go, I don't need your approval."
"I don't allow you to go."
Luo Yao said "cut" and ignored his words. She turned around and walked to the table and started to clear away the dishes.
She was afraid that Xiaoxue would come again after she left, so she had to send the bowls and chopsticks to Xiaoxue.
Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "You left, what if someone comes?"
"I won't let anyone come."
"you……"
Before Xiao Yan could finish her words, Luo Yao took the dishes and left the room. In order to prevent anyone from coming, she took a lock and locked the door.
Perfect!
Not long after Luo Yao left, Wuhen entered the house through the window.
Wuhen kneeled down respectfully, "What's going on, Your Majesty?"
"I encountered an ambush on the road."
"Who did it?"
Xiao Yan handed the arrow on the bedside to Wuhen. Wuhen could see the origin of the arrow at a glance, "This is a three-edged arrow that is only available to the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army."
"That's right."
"The eldest prince has just taken over the imperial army, is it him?" Wuhen asked.
"I have already thought of a way to lure the snake out of its hole."
After a pause, he raised his eyes and looked at Wuhen, "Luo Yao is out. You go find her and follow her. I want to know where she went and what she did."
"yes."
…
Luo Yao went to several shops owned by Shu Qing's two brothers.
Shu Qing's second brother, Shu Tianyu, owns several well-established garment shops, and his third brother, Shu Tianlai, owns several cloth shops. The two shops have business relationships, so they complement each other.
She concealed her identity and chatted with the store clerk for a few words, and learned that Shu Tianyu and Shu Tianlai seldom came to the store. Every time they came to the store, they seemed to be just coping, explained the matter to the shopkeeper, and left in a hurry.
If the boss didn't come, the shopkeeper and the clerks would be too late to be happy, so naturally they wouldn't ask any more questions.
The shop under their names has been operated in this way for so many years.
Luo Yao found out that the two Shu brothers liked to go to YaLeFang to listen to music and drink, so she decided to go to YaLeFang to meet them.
After all, Yalefang is a place for men to have fun, and it would be too conspicuous for women to go there.
Luo Yao found a place to change into black men's clothes, tied up her hair, and walked into Yalefang holding a folding fan.
As soon as she entered the door, a wine glass fell from the sky and fell at her feet.
After glancing at the broken wine glass at her feet, she raised her eyes to the second floor, where a drunken-eyed man stuck his head out with a girl in his arms.
"Wine glass, where is my wine glass?"
Luo Yao frowned slightly, too lazy to pay attention to this drunkard. Just as he was about to walk in, the owner of the shop, Wu Sanniang, came up to him with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm sorry! I almost hit the young master."
"nothing."
Yalefang is the largest music studio in Pingdu. The floor of the hall is covered with carpets painted with various musical instruments, and the graceful figures of various women are carved on the columns.
The hall is square, with two-story buildings on all sides. The upper floors are private rooms for people to enjoy. Even if you stand in the hall, you can vaguely hear the movement upstairs.
It is indeed a good place to indulge in sex.
After Luo Yao looked around, her eyes fell on Wu Sanniang, "Are you the owner of the shop here?"
Wu Sanniang gave her a slight salute and said: "My name is Wu Sanniang, and I am the owner of Yale Fang. Do you have an appointment or do you want to reserve a private room?"
"Let's open a separate room!"
If I bluntly say that I am looking for someone, I am afraid that I will be blocked by Wu Sanniang. It is better to open a private room first and then slowly find someone!
"Okay, sir, please come with me."
With a smile on her face, Wu Sanniang led her to a staircase and took her to a private room on the second floor.
"What do you want to hear today? I will arrange it for you."
She didn't really come to listen to the music, so she casually said: "Let's play Pipa!"
"Sir, I will make arrangements later."
After Wu Sanniang left, she also left the private room, going from private room to private room to look for the whereabouts of the two Shu brothers.
She searched around and finally came to the private room in the corner of the second floor. She listened to the girls in the room calling out to Mr. Shu and Mr. Shu, confirming that the two Shu brothers were here.
She wanted to open the crack in the door to take a closer look, but accidentally pushed the door open, and questioning voices immediately came from inside.
"Who is there?"
Just when Luo Yao was panicking, someone pulled her away from the door in time.
