Su Xiaolu returned to the Bamboo Garden of the palace. Everything was normal and no one came in.
The two maids, who were unwilling to serve her, stayed outside and never thought of coming in.
Su Xiaolu looked at the time and pretended to take a nap.
She opened the door and said to the two maids: "I want to take a walk around the house."
The two maids were very reluctant: "Girls, it's better not to wander around. The master will be unhappy if he knows."
They didn't want to serve him, so they simply moved out of Wangjiang.
Su Xiaolu was stunned for a moment and seemed to have given up the idea.
The two maids breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
But the next second, Su Xiaolu said again: "That's right, I should ask Prince Wang for instructions. This is his home after all."
Two maids: "..."
"No, the young master is very busy. It's better not to disturb the young master. The girl wants to take a walk, so let's take a walk."
The maid in blue clothes quickly said that Wang Jiang was very gentle to their maid, but when he became ruthless, he would sell her at any time.
Life as a slave may not be as good as here if you go to other places. They all want to be favored by Wang Jiang one day. As long as they become his woman, they don't have to worry about being sold.
Wang Jiang had asked them to serve others well, but they were unwilling to do so, but they never dared to bring trouble to Wang Jiang.
Therefore, the maids did not dare to do anything that would make Wang Jiang unhappy.
Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and innocently: "Then I'll help you."
These two maids said they were here to serve her, but in fact they were also spies.
After leaving the Bamboo Garden, Su Xiaolu began to wander aimlessly. The palace was very large, with rockeries, gardens, and flower lakes all there.
Su Xiaolu opened her eyes and kept saying "wow wow", and from time to time she whispered, "It would be great if she could live here too."
Except for the main courtyard, Su Xiaolu walked around the whole house, looking here and there, and returned to the Bamboo Garden when it was almost dark.
Not long after she returned, a maid in blue was left to wait on her, while the other maid went out, saying she was going to prepare the meal.
Su Xiaolu asked confusedly, "What is Chuanshan?"
The maid explained that it means eating for a wealthy family.
She rolled her eyes behind her back. The bumpkin didn't understand anything. If she didn't have a good face, how could the young master fall in love with her.
Su Xiaolu waited quietly, and not long after, Wang Jiang came with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu. I was busy in the afternoon and I didn't take care of you. You should get used to it. You haven't eaten yet, and I haven't eaten either. I'll eat with you."
Wang Jiang was very polite. He sat down and apologized first, and then gently asked us to have dinner together.
Su Xiaolu looked happy and said shyly: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."
The meal arrived and was very sumptuous.
Wang Jiang looked at Su Xiaolu with a surprised look on his face with satisfaction.
Su Xiaolu, as if he had never seen the world before, asked in surprise: "Can we eat so much? I, I don't have any money, and I have nothing to repay the prince. I have never eaten these things..."
Wang Jiang smiled gently and served Su Xiaolu some food: "Miss Xiaolu, eat more."
Su Xiaolu ate slowly.
Tasting it carefully, he showed that he had never seen the world. He ate for a long time and ate a lot.
Wang Jiang saw it all.
After finishing the meal, Wang Jiang proposed to accompany Su Xiaolu for a walk to eat.
Su Xiaolu naturally did not refuse.
Wang Jiang began to collect information from her, and Su Xiaolu casually made up a story about an orphan girl whose parents had died. The bullies took notice of her and took away her household registration as a blackmail. She finally escaped, thinking that she had heard from her mother before that there was a girl in Qinghai.
She was a distant relative, so she wanted to come and seek refuge with him.
The name of the relative was made up at random. They were relatives separated by four or five generations. She didn't know where they lived, so she just looked at the old house and asked.
After a conversation, Su Xiaolu seemed to have exposed her bottom.
Wang Jiang was sometimes surprised and sometimes sympathetic. He told Su Xiaolu in a considerate way that she could have a good rest now and that he would help her find out the whereabouts of her distant relatives.
After walking back to Zhuyuan, Wang Jiang asked the maid to take good care of Su Xiaolu before leaving.
Su Xiaolu washed up and went to bed. The maids were outside and they didn't have to go into the inner room, which was what they wanted.
Su Xiaolu was not asleep yet, but the two maids outside were fast asleep.
When Su Xiaolu came out, he gave them some sleeping spots to help them sleep harder.
She herself took advantage of the darkness to search Wang Jiang's study.
When Wang Jiang operates the industry, he must have a ledger, and each sea area is clearly defined. She only needs to confirm whether the sea area she bought is now controlled by Wang Jiang.
After confirming this, she could ask about An Lie's whereabouts.
She walked around this mansion today and wanted to go in and take a look at every place she went.
The maid will not stop those who can enter, but those who cannot go will be told by the maid that they cannot enter, and Su Xiaolu will ask where this is.
So Su Xiaolu wrote down the location of the study room.
Sneaking into the study, Su Xiaolu began to rummage.
After searching for a while, she found the account book, which recorded in detail the elixirs sent to the capital. In the past year or so, the amount sent was not too much. Su Xiaolu didn't care whether it was too much or not. The sea was full of dangers, and she was even more worried.
I hope Andre will act with caution.
The recorded sea area was her sea area, but now it fell into Wang Jiang's hands. Su Xiaolu's face darkened.
She gently reset the account book and exited the study.
She didn't act rashly. Su Xiaolu didn't want to alert the enemy before she found out.
Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard, and Guiyou and Old Man Wu were still waiting for her.
Old Man Wu spoke first: "Girl, we also found out some information. Your eldest apprentice suffered a disaster not long after we left. We don't know whether he is dead or alive. There is not much information."
Su Xiaolu's eyes turned red: "If he dies, I will kill the person who harmed him to avenge him."
It was an accident that she accepted An Lie as her disciple. It was not a deep master-disciple relationship, but more of a friendship. When her friend was killed, she naturally wanted to avenge him.
"I found out that the account book is in Wang Jiang's hands. He has been delivering elixirs to the capital for the past year."
She also received a letter from An Lie. Now that An Lie's family has disappeared, the letter is probably a fake.
"This Wang Jiang is someone we met in Yulin before. I don't know how he came here."
Su Xiaolu held back her anger.
Guiyou frowned: "Wang Jiang, is it related to Li Yu?"
"Li Yu is cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid that boy An Lie is already in trouble."
Old man Wu sighed and wanted to comfort Su Xiaolu, but he didn't know where to comfort him.
"Let's go and ask clearly now. There are thousands of ways to torture people. Don't worry if he doesn't tell you."
Guiyou's face was cold. Since the news pointed directly at Wang Jiang, there was no need to wait. He asked directly. He had many means and was not afraid that he would not tell him.
Old Man Wu also nodded: "Let's go, sooner rather than later."
We don't know whether An Lie is alive or dead. The sooner we know his whereabouts, if he is still alive, we can save him. If he is dead, then he will have to pay with blood. It is impossible to let him live for one more day.
