"No more." Liu Zhan confirmed, and then he added a few words, "Because the Li Mansion is very strict in guarding this aspect, there is no direct evidence to prove it."
"Besides, if there is direct evidence, you will not be needed."
"Then why do you suspect that the Li family embezzled relief funds?" Qiao Qixin was helpless.
Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin and said, "The Li Mansion is in charge of the distribution of relief funds, but I went to the disaster areas privately to check, and the relief funds have not been distributed in place."
"Is it possible that the place has been embezzled?" Qiao Qixin asked.
"I don't rule it out, but without Li Shangshu's acquiescence, they would not be so bold."
"The relief money distributed by the imperial court amounts to thousands of taels. No matter how hard they swallow it, they can't possibly swallow it all." Liu Zhan lowered his eyes and said.
Qiao Qixin sat on the bed, "Who is behind you? The imperial court?"
Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin with an indifferent expression, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Okay." Qiao Qixin shrugged.
Liu Zhan stood up and prepared to leave, "Thank you for bandaging me. I will send someone to pick you up at six o'clock tomorrow."
"Thank you." Qiao Qixin smiled politely.
After sending Liu Zhan away, Qiao Qixin lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling depressedly.
How could it be a loss to take this trip, hey...
Xiaotong, Xiaotong, are you there?
Qiao Qixin tried to shake up the system.
[System update in progress...]
Huh? Will the system be updated? Qiao Qixin thought to herself.
She shouted a few more times, but the reminder was the same.
"Hey..." Qiao Qixin let out a heavy sigh.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Is Miss Qiao here? Our shopkeeper calls you to come down for dinner." Shuanzi said cautiously outside the door.
The shopkeeper has just given instructions that Miss Qiao is in a bad mood and not to provoke her.
"I won't eat, just let her eat by herself." Qiao Qixin rolled on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.
She is so depressed right now, how can she be in the mood to eat?
a moment later
"Qixin? Xiao Qixin? Open the door." Jin Yan's very recognizable and charming voice came from outside the door.
Qiao Qixin, who was about to fall asleep, angrily opened the quilt and got out of bed and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, most of Qiao Qixin's sleepiness disappeared.
Because not only Jin Yan was standing at the door, but also Shuan Zi, who was carrying a bench, was ready to smash the door.
"Oh," Jin Yan smiled and chased Shuanzi behind her, then pushed Qiao Qixin by her shoulders and pushed her into the room, "Did I scare you? Sister, I apologize to you. Let's go in."
Qiao Qixin pursed her lips in grievance and cried loudly.
What’s all this!
——
Qiao Qixin looked at the pastries on the table in front of her and slowly stopped crying.
Jin Yan on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained silently in her heart.
Really, why did that guy Liu Zhan offend me? Sooner or later I will beat him up.
Qiao Qixin had just held Jinyan in her arms and said bad things about Liu Zhan for a long time, and she was still crying at the same time.
Although this is not very useful for clichés, it is more than enough to mix in some delicious food.
"Here, this is the new peach blossom cake from Fuding in the east of the city. Try it." Jin Yan smoothed Qiao Qixin's hair while bringing the delicious food to her.
While looking at Jinyan, her heart was bleeding.
Eating at this table cost her a lot of money. She must ask Liu Zhan to get it back when she gets the chance!
Qiao Qixin chewed the peach blossom cake as if she was venting her anger, as if she was chewing Liu Zhan.
Sooner or later Liu Zhan will be beaten up.
——
Si time the next day
Qiao Qixin was dressed up beautifully by Jin Yan. In order not to be noticed, Qiao Qixin put a veil around her face when she went out.
While crying, Jin Yan pulled Qiao Qixin's sleeves and told her to take care of herself.
Why do you have the same sense of déjà vu as if your daughter was getting married? Qiao Qixin complained silently in her heart.
"It's time to go," the driver in charge urged.
"Take care of yourself, Qixin." Jinyan cried and let go of Qiao Qixin's hand.
Qiao Qixin pursed her lips, "Don't worry, I won't fail."
The expression on Jin Yan's face froze for a moment, but only for a moment.
She cried while watching Qiao Qixin leave.
"Why……"
Qiao Qixin sat on the rickety carriage and then took off the veil covering her face.
"Huh - I'm so suffocated." She leaned on the carriage, then lifted the curtain and took a look outside.
"Hey? Master, are we preparing to leave the city?" Qiao Qixin looked at the city gate getting closer and closer, with a look of anticipation and excitement.
"Well, the young master has ordered me to leave the city and deliver you to the place first, and then change to a carriage and come back again," the coachman said.

Qiao Qixin pulled the curtain angrily.
I thought Liu Zhanliang had discovered it, huh, it turned out that I was overthinking it.
The carriage left the city and walked for a while before stopping.
"Girl, it's time to get down." the coachman reminded.
"Okay." Qiao Qixin got off the carriage and then got on to another carriage.
Qiao Qixin sighed.
The carriage began to move, taking Qiao Qixin back to the familiar city gate again.
After entering the city, we drove for a while and finally arrived in front of the Li Mansion. This chapter has been completed!
