Jin also saw Yan Qingzhao and was stunned for a moment, "This person looks familiar." She thought for a moment and said.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "Mom, I'll go over and take a look."
Then she walked up to Yan Qingzhao, the smile on her face long gone, "Why are you here? Could it be that the prince is poisoned again? No way, I asked Divine Doctor Luo and he has already developed a medicine..."
"No, it's a snowstorm in the north. Your Majesty plans to go to the north to provide relief." Although Yan Qingzhao didn't want to tell Xie Wanyu this, he had to listen to Tai Shuqi's order.
"This is a good thing. Tell the prince that I am willing to contribute if necessary." Xie Wanyu thought for a moment and said.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qingzhao said, "Your Majesty has been busy recently and has not taken time to do it in person, so I asked my subordinates to ask you about the Marquis."
Hearing this, Xie Wanyu was surprised.
But when he thought of Taishu Ai going to the north to provide disaster relief, it would definitely not be too far from Northern Xinjiang. So when he asked about things in the north, could it be similar to what Xie Wanyu suspected?
"Okay, listen carefully." Xie Wanyu told Yan Qingzhao where Xiao Jing had settled down in northern Xinjiang and his two concubines.
Yan Qingzhao was smart and quickly remembered it and left in a hurry.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu had been uneasy since Yan Qingzhao left, Jin couldn't help but said, "Why don't we just wander around and go back."
"That's fine." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she realized, "What's wrong, mother? Do you not like it here?"
"I see that you are worried. Besides, although it is warmer here than at the bottom of the mountain, there are not many ripe fruits." Jin said with a smile.
Xie Wanyu also forced a smile, "Mom, let's go back and soak in the hot springs."
"You don't have to stay with me all the time. I know you have your own things to be busy with." Jin said with a smile, "I still have Chuntao with me, so she can stay with me. You can do yours."
As a mother, I can naturally tell that Xie Wanyu has something on her mind.
Xie Wanyu didn't force it, so she arranged for Jin to go to the hot spring hut, while she went back to her room.
She was not idle in the room, but was pacing back and forth.
At first, she just had doubts. Xiao Jing has been dead for so long, why hasn't his concubine come back yet? How can two women with several children live in a bitter and cold place like northern Xinjiang?
So she also sent people to check, but there was no news.
Since Taishu Ai is also suspicious, it means that Xie Wanyu's guess is possible, that is, Xiao Jing is not dead.
But according to his situation, how could he not let his family know if he didn't die? After all, he still has to rely on his family for support.
When she thought that Xiao Jing was still alive, Xie Wanyu felt her heart sink inexplicably.
God knows how much she hates Xiao Jing.
The next morning, Xie Wanyu had something on her mind, so she went to bed very late. It was rare that the sky had just turned white, so she reluctantly fell asleep.
So the knocking on the door woke her up in the morning and made her very unhappy.
With a cold face, Xie Wanyu reluctantly opened her eyes.
After a while, Zhu Fang walked in quietly. She seemed to want to see if Xie Wanyu was awake, but she didn't dare to speak too loudly.
"Who was knocking on the door just now?" Xie Wanyu asked in a haggard voice.
Zhufang stopped immediately, "It was the person sent by Dawu. It seems that something urgent happened. Now that Dawu has received the letter, he is waiting at the door."
"Let him come in." Xie Wanyu said with a yawn.
Although she gradually handed over her outside industries to Dawu to take care of, there were some big things that Dawu still didn't dare to make up his mind about.
In the past, Xie Wanyu thought that Dawu was just a rough guy, so she would leave things like finding a man and repairing the courtyard to him. Through the gradual contact, Xie Wanyu found that Dawu was a thoughtful person and was somewhat smart in doing things, so she left it to him. There are just a few more things.
It was probably no small matter to have him wait for Xie Wanyu at the door.
Zhufang responded before letting Dawu in.
Dawu glanced at the covering curtain and knew that Xie Wanyu hadn't gotten up yet. He immediately lowered his head with a wink, "Madam."
"What happened?" Xie Wanyu said.
Dawu frowned slightly, "Madam, it's the guy from Xingcheng who said someone recently used your token to get cash from twenty shops."
Xingcheng is not far from Kyoto City, so it is not surprising that the Xie family's property is there.
Not to mention Xingcheng, even Nancheng and Northern Xinjiang have Xie family's properties, and of course Xie Wanyu's dowry shop is also among them.
When Xie Wanyu heard what he said, she reacted for a long time, and then picked up a box from the bedside, which was a small cabinet style.
Double door design.
Xie Wanyu opened it and saw that the waistband was lying intact inside.
Although she is the owner, Xie Wanyu is a woman after all. She cannot often go in and out of other towns to check the shop. She will send capable people around her to go there. Therefore, in order to prevent others from impersonating her, Xie Wanyu has a waist badge in her hand, which is made of blood jade. As long as she People who hold her badge can easily dictate things in the shop.
For this kind of thing, only in the middle of the year or when there is a big event, Xie Wanyu will let people use her badge to collect cash.
So usually, waist badges are locked in the cabinet.
Xie Wanyu's heart suddenly sank.
"The shop in Xingcheng..." Since the waist badge is still there, who copied her waist badge and took away her money?
At first, Xie Wanyu originally thought of Jin Zetian, but later she thought it was impossible. Jin Zetian and Ru Yue's vision and connections were not enough to allow them to recreate the blood jade.
And according to their idea, it would be most straightforward to sell it.
Xie Wanyu thought for a long time. There were only so many people who could enter her house. She really couldn't imagine who could do such a thing.
"lady?"
Seeing that Xie Wanyu didn't speak for a long time, Dawu couldn't help but shout.
Xie Wanyu came to her senses and said, "This matter can be big or small. You go to Shopkeeper Zhong immediately. We will go to Xingcheng in three days."
"Going to Xingcheng? But madam, over there at the Hou Mansion..." Dawu said hesitantly.
"I'm with you at the Marquis Mansion. You go and contact someone. The people we bring must be safe, but we can't make too much noise." Xie Wanyu thought about it carefully and said.
Da Wu has always regarded Xie Wanyu as his backbone, so when he heard what Xie Wanyu said, he immediately responded and then withdrew.
Zhu Fang had been listening by the side. After Da Wu went out, she said, "Madam, your current status is different from the past, and it is really not appropriate to show off."
"Don't worry." Xie Wanyu said two words lightly.
After resting for a while at noon, Xie Wanyu took Zhufang back to the Hou Mansion.
Nowadays, most of the people in the Hou Mansion are Xie Wanyu's people, so the Hou Mansion has returned to its former tranquility. At least under the leadership of these stewards, all the servants are doing things in an orderly manner.
