"Ugh~"
The moment the linen bag was opened, the entire lobby was filled with the stench coming from the cesspit, and the faces of the four Xiao family members, father and son, all turned green.
They never expected that the evidence that could save the Xiao family would be so flavorful.
Xiao Yunhe was the first to bear the brunt. He covered his nose with one hand and retched while turning over the ledger with the other.
Take one look and vomit.
Take another look and vomit again.
After flipping through a few pages of the ledger, Xiao Yunhe finally couldn't bear the stench. He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at his eldest brother, wanting to share the burden with him.
Just when he raised his eyes, Xiao Yunhe realized that he was the only one left in the entire lobby.
His biological father, his good eldest brother, and his good third brother all ran out, holding their noses and standing far away.
Guard Mu Qing sat on the wall outside with his arms folded.
Xiao Yunhe's expression was complicated: "..."
Is there really no one willing to help him share the burden?
Xiao Yunhe strode out with the account book, smelling bad, and shouted to the three Xiao fathers: "Brother, third brother, I found some incorrect numbers, come here and help me take a look. "
"Stop, stop, dick, stop first!"
Seeing Xiao Yunhe getting closer and closer, Father Xiao's face turned dark.
Father Xiao frowned and pushed Xiao Yunjing and Xiao Yunming who were standing next to him out. He pretended to be nonchalant and coughed lightly: "I'll leave this matter to you three. I'm old and it's time to go back." Take a rest.”
After speaking, Father Xiao immediately turned around without hesitation and trotted away.
He was afraid that if he was one step slower, he would be forced to stay by those three brats.
"It's time for me to go back and report to His Highness."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Qing jumped off the wall and disappeared instantly.
Xiao Yunjing and Xiao Yunming, who were pushed out, were both speechless: "..."
You can't escape it, you really can't escape it.
Xiao Yunhe couldn't wait to throw the account book to his eldest brother: "Brother, it's up to you."
Xiao Yunjing took it subconsciously. The smell was so strong that he almost vomited out the dinner he had eaten tonight: "vomit~"
Xiao Yunming wanted to cry.
He is a rough old man who only knows how to grow tea trees. What does this kind of meticulous work of reading account books have to do with him?
Seeing that the third brother wanted to sneak away, Xiao Yunhe quickly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder: "Third brother, you shouldn't be so cruel to leave me and my eldest brother here, right?"
Xiao Yunming shivered inexplicably and forced a smile: "Of course not!"
Xiao Yunhe patted him on the shoulder: "This is my good third brother."
Xiao Yunming: "..."
The three brothers read through the account books overnight and made a plan, planning to find connections early tomorrow morning and submit evidence to send Deng Qing to jail!
…
Prince's Mansion, Jingxiang Courtyard.
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoxiao was awakened by the mechanical sound of the system.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing task two and solving the dilemma Xiao Yunhe is about to face. Fifty points are awarded and the host account points are one hundred and fifty.]
[Host please keep up the good work, the next mission has been opened, host please accept the mission]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "?"
When you wake up, the task is completed and a new task comes?
Lu Xiaoxiao's sleepiness disappeared instantly. She sat up holding the quilt, rubbed her eyes, and quickly asked with her consciousness: "Jiujiu, what is the mission this time?"
Jiujiu: [Dip! The progress of assisting Prince Xie Xi to ascend the throne is 2, now activate task 3: Make sure Prince Xie Xi takes over the Jiangnan bribery case, and ask the host to assist Prince Xie Xi to successfully solve the case]
[You can get two hundred points by completing the task, and you will be struck by lightning if you fail the task]
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Jiujiu, do you want me to assist His Highness in solving this case?"
"Then shall I go to Jiangnan with His Highness?"
Jiujiu earnestly told his host: [Yes, host, since this mission will threaten His Highness's life, the host also asks the host to protect His Highness and make sure that His Highness returns to the capital safely after resolving the matter in Jiangnan. 】
[So, dear host, I must ask His Highness to take you with him when he goes to Jiangnan~]
"No..."
Lu Xiaoxiao wrinkled his face, raised his hand to rub his hair, and murmured: "Why is this mission so difficult!?"
Even if she was lucky enough to let His Highness take over the Jiangnan bribery case, she couldn't think of a reliable reason for His Highness to take her with him...
wrong.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought: "Jiujiu, according to the original setting, the fourth prince should have taken over the Jiangnan bribery case. If it were replaced by His Highness, would the fourth prince intervene in this matter?"
Jiujiu was confused by the question: "Kiss the host, Jiujiu doesn't know, and please the host to protect His Highness."
After saying that, Jiujiu immediately ran away.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a headache: "..."
She couldn't do this mission lying down.
It seems that on the way to Jiangnan, she not only has to guard against the people in Jiangnan, but also has to keep an eye on the system to guard against the fourth prince's little moves!
The task is not easy, Xiao Xiao sighed.
Bai Zhi walked in with a basin and saw her master sitting on the couch blankly, "Master, it's time to get up and wash up and have breakfast."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi covered her lips and smiled and said: "Master, His Highness has said that he will go to the palace this morning. When His Highness leaves the palace at noon and returns to the house, he will have lunch with the Master."
"Your Highness?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her in shock.
The word "Your Highness" instantly brought her thoughts back from her wandering thoughts.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao remembered that His Highness came last night and probably wanted her to sleep with him, but she had an idea and insisted on dragging His Highness to hold a candle and talk at night.
Then she told Mu Qing to go out to do something. After Mu Qing left, she continued to talk to His Highness about other things.
But as they talked, she had no memory after that.
Lu Xiaoxiao was inexplicably flustered, so she and His Highness last night...
Could it be that the two of them were really doing some unspeakable things on the couch?
But she doesn't seem to feel anything?
Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhi, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Bai Zhi, what time is it now?"
"Also, did I do anything to offend His Highness last night?"
Bai Zhi was a little confused about her master's reaction. For some reason, she always felt that her master was about to cry?
Maybe she saw it wrong.
Bai Zhi soaked the handkerchief in the warm water, then picked it up and wrung it out, and wiped her master's face gently: "To tell you what the master is saying, it's just past midnight. As for what happened between the master and His Highness last night, I don't know."
"It was Morning Dew that was on duty last night, but I saw with my own eyes that His Highness just left this morning."
His Highness did not let these maids approach at all, and the Mu Qing guard who was standing outside went in to serve His Highness.
Lu Xiaoxiao's whole body was numb: "..."
It's over, can she really be innocent?
"Bai Zhi, go find Chen Lu and come over. I have something to ask her!"
