Seeing a strand of broken hair stuck to the end of Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes, making her sleep seem a little quiet and peaceful, Xie Xi frowned and subconsciously reached out his hand.
His slender fingers fell on her face and gently brushed away the strands of hair. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retracted his hand.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's slightly well-behaved sleeping face, Xie Xi's eyes softened and he unconsciously curled his lips.
With Lu Fengyi accompanying him along the way, he felt more stable.
Xie Xi withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the booklet in his hand again.
Suddenly, a soft "嘤咛" sounded in my ears.
Xie Xi paused in turning the page.
With a sideways glance, he met Lu Xiaoxiao's sleepy almond eyes.
Xie Xi froze for a moment, suddenly feeling that the finger that had just touched her cheek felt inexplicably warm.
Lu Xiaoxiao raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looking a little confused and unable to react for a moment.
Lu Xiaoxiao was still leaning on Xie Xi's right shoulder, tilting his head, and asked with a soft voice in his ear, "Husband? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Um……"
The warm breath sprayed on his ears, and waves of sweet fragrance hit him. Xie Xi was even more overwhelmed than when he heard her expressing love to him in her heart.
His heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Xie Xi's Adam's apple rolled slightly and his back stiffened. He looked away and fell on the booklet in his hand. When he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find that his voice was a little hoarse: "I still have some things that I haven't dealt with yet. Xiaoxiao, you can continue to sleep."
"Husband, is there anything else?"
[Forget it, it doesn’t seem right to let me sleep alone since His Highness is not sleeping. Why don’t you ask His Highness if I can help? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao managed to wake up a little. She sat up straight and subconsciously wanted to stretch.
But as soon as he noticed that His Highness was still beside him, Lu Xiaoxiao paused slightly, then pretended to retract his hand casually, but accidentally patted the back of His Highness's hand, causing the booklet in his hand to fall.
At this time, Lu Xiaoxiao was completely awake: "..."
[Oops, Your Highness shouldn’t think I did it on purpose, right? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly bent down and picked up the pamphlet that fell at his feet.
Suddenly, the words "Governor of Jiangnan Shi Weian" fell into her eyes.
[Shi Weian, Governor of Jiangnan? He seems to be the mastermind behind the Jiangnan bribery case? 】
[So His Highness stayed up late at night just to see the situation of Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian? 】
[For such a trivial matter, why does your Highness need to come to deal with it? Just ask me. Not to mention Shi Weian, the governor of Jiangnan, I know everything about the eighteenth generation of Shi Weian's ancestors. Clearly! 】
Xie Xi: "..."
Well, he almost forgot that his Lu Fengyi could know more information that no one else knew.
However, this booklet about the situation of Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian was collected by Lu Fengyi after he sent secret guards to Jiangnan before he entered the government.
Lu Xiaoxiao handed the pamphlet to His Highness, but saw His Highness hold her hand and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoxiao, you can also take a look and tell Gu, what do you think about Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian?" What do you think?"
"Um?"
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at His Highness in surprise.
Facing Lu Xiaoxiao's doubtful gaze, Xie Xi's expression remained unchanged, "If I'm tired of reading, I'll ask Xiaoxiao to read it again and tell me again, okay?"
[It turns out that His Highness is tired. No problem, then leave it to me! 】
Lu Xiaoxiao agreed: "Okay, husband."
Xie Xi slightly raised the corners of his lips, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Opening the booklet, Lu Xiaoxiao scanned it quickly.
However, they found that most of the things recorded in the book about Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian were well known, and none of them were related to the Jiangnan bribery case.
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Who on earth collected this information? It is of no use at all." 】
Xie Xi deeply agreed.
These messages are indeed of no use at all.
The forces in Jiangnan are hidden too deeply, and there are too many injustices hidden in the dark. No one knows about it. Even if he sent secret guards there, it took him several months, but he could only find out what was superficial. …
Lu Xiaoxiao continued to flip through the booklet while calling Jiujiu with his consciousness.
Now that I haven't been able to see Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian in person, the plot about Shi Weian cannot be unlocked by systematic eating. But His Highness wants to know, so Lu Xiaoxiao can only ask Jiujiu to help.
Jiujiu appeared: [Kiss the host, Jiujiu is here]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Jiujiu, I want to know everything about Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian!"
"Because I haven't been able to meet that person yet and can't unlock his plot, so..."
"Jiujiu, you know."
Jiujiu said he didn’t really want to understand.
However, Jiujiu still dutifully checked the system: [Kiss the host and predict the plot of the characters in advance, but points will be deducted]
Lu Xiaoxiao:? ? ?
[This system is too stingy. I obviously want to complete the task, but as a result, if I want to know something, my points will be deducted! 】
Xie Xi's expression paused slightly, his eyes dark and unclear.
What kind of system is that? Why does Lu Fengyi’s points need to be deducted?
Lu Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to scold the system and took a deep breath: "How many points will be deducted?"
Jiujiu said flatteringly: [One point]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."
【That's it? 】
[Just one point will be deducted. Unfortunately, I am ready to fight with the system. 】
"Okay, just deduct one point and tell me everything about Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian's situation word for word."
Jiujiu: [Dip! One point was successfully deducted, and there are still 149 points in Qinqin Host’s account]
Jiujiu: [Please kiss the host and wait a moment, the plot related to Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian is being transmitted——]
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay."
After transmitting the plot to his host's mind, Jiujiu went offline.
[Governor of Jiangnan Shi Weian, whose courtesy name was Anping, was a native of Suzhou, Jiangnan. His parents died when he was young, and he lived in his uncle's home. He was bullied by his aunt's cousin, and was kicked out of the house when he was fifteen years old. 】
[By chance, sixteen-year-old Shi Weian became the adopted son of the previous governor of Jiangnan. At the age of twenty-five, Shi Weian failed in the provincial examination, so under the control of his adoptive father, he worked as an errand for the governor of Jiangning. Doing odd jobs is appreciated...]
[At the age of twenty-nine, Shi Weian married the legitimate daughter of the governor of Jiangning to seek a future. One year later, on the day his wife gave birth, Shi Weian set up three outhouses for ten years, until today. They have never been discovered...】
[One of the concubines, Mrs. Li, was deeply favored by Shi Weian. Within a month, she stayed with Mrs. Li for ten days...]
Xie Xi's eyes flashed. It seemed that this Li family was very important. Maybe he could learn something from her.
[About Jiangnan Bribery Case——]
