"Since the girl is engaged, doesn't it mean that they can't get married?"
Lin Xiao asked guiltily.
"It's not that bad, alas! Our prince is also a love-struck type. If he can't get married, it won't work. At worst, he will be raised outside!"
Lady Han sighed, her eyes full of jealousy:
"Humph, I don't know where that little lady got her good fortune. Now she lives in a side courtyard, is served delicious food and drinks, and doesn't have to look at the face of the old princess. Her life is much more comfortable than that of the princess! "
"hehe!"
Lin Xiao laughed twice.
Lady Han continued to chatter:
"I don't like that little lady. She's so charming and can only seduce people. Our seventh prince is the real prince. How can such a mean person be worthy of him?"
Lady Han became more and more excited as she spoke:
"Our seventh prince is also a really infatuated man. How come he was seduced by this foxy girl?!"
"I wonder if Sister Han knows where the other courtyard where the girl lives is?"
Although she didn't know how Han Ruoshui hooked up with the Seventh Prince, she had to meet Han Ruoshui due to emotions and reasons.
"Why does Mr. Lin want to know where she lives? Could it be..."
Madam Han looked at the handsome young man in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes.
But she soon returned to normal, and said with an extremely serious expression:
"Even if I don't like her anymore, she is still the woman of our seventh prince, so you don't have any evil intentions!"
"What thoughts can I have about her? I just simply think that the girl and I are both from Jiuzhou Town, so we might know each other!"
Lin Xiao touched her nose and smiled.
"really?"
Lady Han said suspiciously.
Lin Xiao quickly raised his hand to assure himself that it was absolutely not false.
"In that case, fine, she will live in the big house at the corner of West Street."
"Thanks."
Hearing that Mrs. Han finally relented, Lin Xiao almost jumped up with joy.
She silently recited the address several times in her mind, and after making sure she remembered it, she chatted with Lady Han about other topics. It wasn't until Yu Xilin hurried over that Lin Xiao turned around and went to the main hall.
Seeing Lin Xiao's figure disappear from sight, a faint blush appeared on Madam Han's face, her eyes were filled with strange colors, and she murmured to herself:
"This little man is quite interesting."
The main hall of the side courtyard.
"It's so late and there's a curfew, why are you here?"
Lin Xiao poured a cup of tea for Yu Xilin and asked casually.
Yu Xilin drank all the water in the tea cup and then started to talk about the business:
"Didn't I just receive Esther's letter from the flying pigeon, so I came to find you right away!"
"Where are they?"
"We have already set sail and should arrive in Japan soon."
"Very good, let us use salt to open the gate of Japan!"
Lin Xiao's eyes burst out with a sharp chill.
After Esther and others obtained the official household registration of the Daxia Dynasty, they were immediately sent to the Japanese country by Lin Xiao.
It is said to be selling salt to the Japanese country, but in fact it is using salt to absorb a large amount of funds from the Japanese country!
Treat others in their own way!
"Esther said in the letter that they are very grateful to you for giving you the opportunity to visit the east coast. There is their ship there. Although it is dilapidated, it should still be worth a few dollars."
Yu Xilin handed a note to Lin Xiao and said.
Lin Xiao took the note and glanced at it. When she saw the crooked Daxia text, she knew it was from Esther and couldn't help but smile:
"This guy seems to be still thinking about those broken ships!"
"Would you like to visit the East Coast?"
Yu Xilin suggested.
"Well, it's time to go and take a look. Maybe there will be a surprise. However, we have to wait for two days. I have to take care of something first."
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoti walked towards West Street carrying large and small bags.
Her target was the courtyard where Han Ruoshui lived.
However, as soon as I passed by Ai Lv Shi, I saw a mess inside.
She quickly ran in to find out.
"What's going on?"
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaozhouzhou...is missing!"
Zhang Yue saw Lin Xiao and rushed towards her, crying with tears in her eyes.
"What do you mean missing?"
Lin Xiao was stunned and asked quickly.
"I haven't seen her since I woke up this morning. The guys turned the whole shop upside down and still found no trace of her. Do you think Xiao Zhouzhou was abducted by Yabozi?"
This possibility is very high!
Although in the evil feudal society, preference for boys over girls was commonplace, no one would spend a lot of money to buy a little girl, except for brothels.
They will hire some people to look for beautiful little girls outside, and then abduct them and send them to brothels.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way!"
With that said, Lin Xiao threw the things in his hands to Zhang Yue and quickly ran towards the residence of the second prince Li Yujun.
"Prince Ji, help me!"
Lin Xiao shouted while knocking on the door of the palace.
After a while, the door creaked open, revealing an angry and tired face.
"What's the matter? It's disturbing my dreams so early in the morning."
When the guard guarding the door saw that it was Lin Xiao, he complained in a friendly manner.
"Is Prince Ji here? I have something urgent!"
"The prince went to the hunting ground with his majesty to hunt. He probably won't be able to come back today... Hey, hey, why are you running away? Is there anything I can do..."
The guard guarding the door was frightened by Lin Xiao for a moment. Just after saying a few words, he found that Lin Xiao had run away, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
Lin Xiao ran all the way again, towards the Yu Mansion, wanting to ask Yu Xilin for help, but the news he received was that Yu Xilin also accompanied His Majesty to the hunting ground!
"Damn it! Is hunting that fun?"
Lin Xiao angrily stamped her feet and cursed.
"Hey, what should I do?"
In desperation, Lin Xiao thought of Zhao Qian.
I wonder if Zhao Qian will also be dragged into hunting by the emperor.
Lin Xiao ran towards the Prime Minister's Palace while thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
However, the first hurdle before her was the arrogant guards of the Prime Minister's Palace.
"stop!"
There was a loud shout, and Lin Xiao was frightened and stopped quickly. She saw a guard in black clothes blocking the way and looking at her coldly.
"This official, my name is Lin Xiao. I am a good friend of your Lord Zhao Qian and Zhao. I came here specially to visit you."
Lin Xiao opened his mouth to explain.
"Master Zhao?"
The black-clothed guard raised his eyebrows, as if he had some impression, but couldn't remember.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, I am his good friend. My name is Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao nodded and looked expectantly at the black-clothed guard in front of him.
"If you want to find Mr. Zhao, why go to our Prime Minister's Mansion instead of the Zhao Mansion?!"
The black-clothed guard snorted coldly, looking like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Master Zhao is the nephew of the Prime Minister and lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Lin Xiao suddenly felt cold in his heart and secretly scolded these slaves for taking advantage of others, but still kept a smile on his face and said patiently.
"Get out! Don't let me talk about anything here. This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no such thing as Mr. Zhao!"
The guard in black waved his hand in disgust and expelled.
