C5 Night scouting

The cold winter wind was bone-chilling cold, and when it hit his body, it hurt even more.

However, Mu Qianyu, who was dressed in tattered clothes, stood around the corner in a daze, staring unblinkingly at the silver in her hand, seemingly at a loss of what to do.

She thought that Prince Li must be crazy.

Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything and just ordered someone to leave her two taels of silver.

What does that mean, charity?

There's no such thing as charity right? How strange ?

"Wan Er?"

A light call suddenly sounded.

Mu Qianyu turned around, puzzled. Behind him stood a young master dressed in plain clothes, who was seventeen or eighteen years old with handsome features.

"You are?"

For a moment, he couldn't remember who this person was.

Other than the people from Zheng Family, who knew that her previous name was Zheng Qingwan, there was probably no one else who knew of her.

"Are you really Wan Er?"

Zheng Hong was a little excited, he held her hand and said: "I'm Second Brother."

"Second Brother!"

He searched through the memories in his mind with all his might.

When he finally managed to think of everything related to him, Mu Qianyu's lips curled up, and revealed a smile that was as calm as the wind.

So this was the second young master of Zheng Family, his own second brother.

When he was young, he was one of the few people in the clan who would treat him well.

"Second brother, call me Drifting Feather from now on. I've changed my name, and I'm no longer a Third Miss of Zheng Family."

Mu Qianyu looked at her second brother and laughed foolishly.

Zheng Hong was startled, and nodded his head.

He hastily took out some crushed silver and placed it in her palm. "Shuang Yu, Second Brother still has some urgent matters to attend to. You should go eat and find a place to settle down. We can discuss this further when Second Brother comes back."

Mu Qianyu had wanted to return the silver to him.

However, he didn't have the time to explain so much now. He received the silver with a smile and agreed to meet again in three days.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly think of sympathizing with a little beggar?"

Xiao Chengjue followed behind his brother with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why he would do that just now.

It was one thing to sympathize with a little beggar, but she was actually waiting for him. She waited for him to return the favor without saying a word and only gave him some silver coins.

If that was all it was, he could have just let the servants do it.

"It's not that simple."

Xiao Chengyi's expression remained indifferent, he did not see what was wrong, and only said words that he did not understand.

"Third brother means that the little beggar is Zheng Ji's illegitimate child?"

Xiao Chengjue rubbed his chin, looking deep in thought.

"She's a woman!"

Xiao Chengyi turned his head to look at him, his expression still calm.

"Oh!"

Xiao Chen nodded his head as if he was not surprised.

"What!"

By the time he suddenly realized that something was amiss, Xiao Chengyi had already left long ago.

In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Prince Li's Mansion, in the study.

Xiao Chengyi quietly sat on the table, an incomplete Painting was laid out in front of him.

"Luo Jin."

He turned around and looked at the dark sky. Unknowingly, it was time.

"Your Highness."

The man in black pushed open the door and came in, kneeling on the floor, his back straight.

"Go to the Minister Mansion tonight and investigate. If you can find the Seven-colored Lotus, think of a way to get it back."

Xiao Chengyi instructed lightly.

"Yes."

Luo Jin turned around and stepped back, instantly disappearing into the night.

At this time, most of the people in the Minister Mansion had already gone to sleep, and only the lights in the Madame Wang's house were still on.

"Huaiyuan, Mom always feels uneasy. I thought that girl had fallen off the cliff and died, but now she's back. She's even making a ruckus at Minister Mansion. Do you think she did this on purpose?"

When he thought about what happened today, the Madame Wang felt extremely uneasy. That was why he called his son to discuss this matter.

"Your son also never thought that Zheng Qingwan would come back, but what can a fourteen year old girl possibly do?"

Although he loathed that girl, he did not think that she would create any big waves.

Even if she knew that her mother had died a violent death, she might not have the ability to take revenge.

"Even though it is reasonable, mother still feels that the girl did it on purpose. Moreover, your sister's intention is to eliminate her in order to avoid future troubles."

Madame Wang frowned, she still had an uneasy expression on her face.

Hearing this, Zheng Huaiyuan nodded his head: "Mother, you can rest assured. Since you think that there's a problem with her, the next time our son sees her, he will definitely let her die without a complete corpse. He definitely will not let her escape."

"Pfft!"

The mother and son duo below were scheming how to kill Mu Qianyu, but they did not know that the person in question had already been lying prone on the rooftop, peeking at them for half a day.

Mu Qianyu, who was wearing a set of clothes at night, wrapped herself up tightly, revealing only a pair of spirited big eyes that were exceptionally bright in the darkness of the night.

She knew what she would gain from this trip.

From the looks of it, he did not come here for nothing.

It seems that the people who were chasing him at the edge of the cliff all those years ago were indeed sent by the Madame Wang.

She was not in the mood to listen to Madame Wang and her son's conversation. She had more important things to take care of, so she secretly moved the roof tiles back to her side. With a leap, she rushed towards the western courtyard ?
