Yun Zhonghe paused and stared at him with some confusion: "I wonder why Governor Xiao asked that? You can't just enter the palace if you want?"
Xiao Chen shrugged helplessly: "I can indeed come and go from the palace freely, but there are some things that cannot be done blatantly."
"I want to investigate a person, currently known to be an old eunuch who is nearly sixty years old and works at Fukuzushi."
"You have good skills. If you can get in and out of the palace, I want you to help bring that person here."
Although he didn't know why Xiao Chen was interested in an old eunuch, Yun Zhonghe didn't ask much.
After all, the 10,000 taels of silver notes in his arms were still warm. Since Xiao Chen asked him to help, he was naturally obligated.
He patted his chest and said happily: "Don't worry, just wait for my news!"
He flew out of the window and quickly flew out of the high-walled courtyard with his toes like a swallow.
He left very quietly, just as quietly as he came.
Recovering from the direction where Yun Zhonghe left, Xiang Yichun rubbed his chin and couldn't help but smacked his lips: "This light skill is really amazing, it can be said that it comes and goes without a trace. But..." He glanced at Xiao Chen, "Supervisor Lord, why doesn’t he take the main entrance every time?”
"Well... I guess I'm not good at dealing with people."
In fact, Xiao Chen didn't think clearly either.
Xiang Yichun nodded thoughtfully and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I have to send more people to strengthen the defense of Dongchang."
When Yun Zhonghe came and went, no one noticed him, which was considered a dereliction of duty on his part.
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, it's useless."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of helplessness: "Didn't you hear what they just said? He can enter the palace without a summons. Do you think you can stop him?"
Dongchang's defense is not bad, but it is meaningless in the face of the absolute strength of Yun Zhonghe.
Fortunately, Yun Zhonghe is on his side.
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back: "You don't have to worry about that old eunuch anymore. Just wait for news about him."
Today Xiao Chen went to Fu Sushi specifically for the old eunuch. It was already public enough, and he was afraid that if he continued to investigate further, he would alert people who shouldn't be alerted.
Yawning slightly, Xiao Chen twisted his body and said, "I'm sleepy. You can go down first."
I took a shower and slept until sunset.
When he woke up again, Xiao Chen was full of energy. Just as he was about to stretch, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
boom! boom! boom!
This force made him want to smash the door. Ji Hongluan was probably the only one in the mansion with such a temper.
Xiao Chen opened the door, only to find that she was holding a jade rose in her hand.
One was furious, the other was aggrieved and pitiful.
Xiao Chen's face darkened slightly, "What's going on?"
"How is this going?"
Ji Hongluan was the first to speak: "Sir, please take care of this woman. She is getting more and more unruly. She even sneaked into your room this morning. I wonder what bad intentions she is hiding!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face changed slightly, but he managed to restrain his immediate unhappiness.
But Yu Luo said in a tearful tone: "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense! Yu Luo just wants to tidy up your room. Isn't this what a personal maid should do?"
She tried to break free from Ji Hongluan's restraints, but to no avail even though her wrists were red and swollen.
Ji Hongluan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Even if she is a woman, her strength is definitely not comparable to that of Yu Luo.
"Bah, shameless little hoof, who told you to be so sentimental?"
Ji Hongluan already knew from Xiao Chen that Yu Luo was not a kind person.
She was worried that while Xiao Chen was away, if this woman searched here and there and found Xiao Chen's secret, it would be like having Jin Guangyao's hand on it.
This was no small matter, so Ji Hongluan was furious.
She didn't disturb Xiao Chen when he was resting. When he woke up, she dragged him over to question him.
"Sir, Yuluo is really just sorting things out..."
Yuluo's eyes began to turn red, and she didn't know whether it was from pain or grievance.
He just looked at Xiao Chen with teary eyes, which really made me feel pity for him.
Xiao Chen sighed softly, stepped forward and pulled Ji Hongluan's hand away, helping Yu Luo free herself from the restraints.
Ji Hongluan was confused: "Sir!"
Then Xiao Chen glanced over and scolded softly: "Hong Luan, don't make trouble unreasonably."
"The room is indeed clean. Yuluo is kind-hearted, so there is no need to misinterpret it."
"What's more, she is the adopted daughter of today's prime minister, and she has no shortage of money to live a good life. You think she is sneaky, so you can't think that she is stealing things, right?"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned, and Ji Hongluan understood.
Just entering the room, she remained unyielding, which made Xiao Chen look a bit mysterious.
People can't help but think: Is there any ulterior secret in Xiao Chen's room?
Ji Hongluan felt a little ashamed when she reacted belatedly.
Seeing the right opportunity, Xiao Chen took their hands and clasped them together, "Okay, this is just a misunderstanding. I hope you can live in peace."
"Putting peace as the most precious thing is the long-term solution, do you understand?"
Ji Hongluan lowered her head to one side and nodded reluctantly, "Well, I was impulsive about this..."
Yu Luo also apologized symbolically, "I didn't say hello first, which caused my sister to misunderstand. I will pay attention to it next time."
Xiao Chen showed a satisfied smile: "That's right!"
As the afterglow of the setting sun began to fade, Xiao Chen suddenly said: "While there is still some time, let's go to the mall."
Hearing the word chamber of commerce, Yu Luo instinctively pricked up her ears and asked curiously: "Sir, are you going to the chamber of commerce that you run?"
"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce is now widely distributed. I will take you to meet Bai Zhi. She is also the general manager of our Chamber of Commerce."
Jin Guangyao has been thinking about his chamber of commerce, and Yu Luo has been here for a few days, so it's time to give her a taste of the sweetness.
Yuluo was overjoyed and couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go now!"
Ji Hongluan took Xiao Chen's arm and glared at her angrily: "The maid should act like a maid, follow her and take good care of her."
"Even if you come from a wealthy family, you should know the rules."
Ji Hongluan hugged Xiao Chen and said, "Let's go."
She twisted her graceful figure and walked in front with Xiao Chen.
No matter how beautiful Yuluo is, her status is clear at a glance with such a front-to-back distribution.
She gently clenched her fists and followed him with restraint.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the Chamber of Commerce.
Bai Zhi was still busy in the chamber of commerce, turning the abacus with one hand and writing notes with the other hand.
Although she is a woman, her mind is still very sharp, and she is very good at settling accounts.
It is already evening, and there are not many people coming and going at the Chamber of Commerce.
Xiao Chen coughed twice, and Bai Zhi came back to her senses from her busy work. She looked up and saw Xiao Chen, and was quite surprised, "Why are you here?"
