Chapter 64
The Dapei Prime Minister's Mansion burned for three days and three nights, and finally turned into a piece of scorched earth with broken walls and ruins.

And the scandal of raising women in another courtyard caused an uproar in Dapei.

Emperor Xian was seriously ill and ordered Gu Yunzheng to deal with the matter.

The Yu clan, including the queen, tried their best to protect Yu Songjie, and the whole matter ended in a way of turning a major event into a minor matter.

Yu Songjie rebuilt the mansion, but the matter of raising women was also left behind.He originally wanted to continue to track down the murderer of the Tufu, but his own forces actually found out that the murderer was related to Gu Yunzheng.

Even though Yu Songjie was angry, he had to give up the investigation because Gu Yunzheng helped him suppress the matter of the other courtyard.

Even so, Lei Yuxiu decided to leave Zhuyun Yayuan.

"Leave Maier in the capital?" Chang Xiaoman and Lei Yuxiu sat in the room discussing matters, with Maier and Shen Lie standing beside them.

"Yes." Lei Yuxiu nodded and said, "Not many people know Mai'er's identity, but they can stay in the capital to obtain information."

"Information~ I'll tell Mi'er to let her take in Mai'er temporarily. Shaoyaofang belongs to Beirong's property, and Maier should be safe there."

Lei Yuxiu agreed to Xiaoman's proposal.

"Then where are we going?" Chang Xiaoman asked.

"Go to Cyprus."

"Saizhou? Where is that? Why do you want to go there?"

"It is reported that Yu Songjie has a private mine in Saizhou, where there is evidence that the Yu family colluded with Xidi bandits and intercepted the caravan's profits." Shen Lie explained to Xiaoman from the side, "Yu Songjie raised women Violating the law was easily let go, which shows that he has a stable power in the Dapei court. If you want to wipe out the entire Yu family, you must find out all his criminal evidence."

Chang Xiaoman recalled the details in the book.

Wan Qilin and Gu Yunshen also went to Saizhou.

Maybe this trip will meet these two people.

Soon, Lei Yuxiu, Chang Xiaoman and Shen Lie disguised themselves as the Dapei caravan and set off from the capital to Saizhou.

Chang Xiaoman sincerely thanked Wan Chenglin for her 32 human skin masks. With them, even under the eyes of Dapei's guards, she can walk swaggeringly.

All the way to the west, after several days of trekking, I finally came to Tongguan, a small border town in Saizhou.

"My lord, the road is blocked by heavy snow ahead, we can only temporarily stay in Tongguan, waiting for the wind and snow to pass." Shen Lie reported outside the door.

Lei Yuxiu got out of the carriage first, then turned around and led Xiaoman out of the carriage.

Snow fell heavily outside the carriage, and there was a foot of snow on the road.It was not easy for them to get here, and it was almost impossible to go any further.

The small inn in Tongguan is full of travelers.

"Master, there are only two rooms left here. You and your wife will live in the older one, and I will live in the smaller room." Shen Lie automatically entered the play when he left the capital.

At this time, Lei Yuxiu and Chang Xiaoman were pretending to be a couple, and Shen Lie was a servant.

Lei Yuxiu acquiesced in such an assignment.

Chang Xiaoman could see in his eyes that he was very happy to share a room with her.

Shen Lie moved the salute to the room.

Lei Yuxiu took Xiaoman to find a table in the back and sat down.

The innkeeper boiled a pot of greasy broth and yelled that everyone could have a bowl for three Wen.

Chang Xiaoman gave the boss money, filled two bowls of soup, and took a few pieces of naan bread, and put them in front of Lei Yuxiu and himself.

She tasted the broth, and although it had no taste, it really drove away the chill from her body.

At this moment, a couple walked outside the door.

"Shopkeeper, are there any vacancies?"

The boss glanced at the couple, immediately shook his head and said, "It's all full."

"Please do me a favor. It's snowing heavily, and my wife is about to give birth. Can you find a place for us to spend the night together." The man begged the shopkeeper with sincere and eager eyes.

"It's not that I won't find a place for you, it's that I really don't have any." The owner still refused to provide accommodation.

The woman clutched her stomach with a pained look on her face.

Chang Xiaoman walked over, looked at the woman, and then at her man, "Your wife is about to give birth, and she is not at home to wait for delivery. Where did such a heavy snowstorm come from, and where are you going?"

"We came from the direction of the capital and went to Saizhou to seek refuge with relatives. How could we expect to encounter such a heavy snow day." The man replied seriously, "Girl, I think you are a kind person, can you help us?"

Chang Xiaoman glanced at Lei Yuxiu, and then said to the man, "We can't help you, but if you go west from here, there is an inn at the west gate of the town. You can go there and ask."

The woman turned cold when she heard this, and spat and said: "Little girl, you don't need to help us, but why do you say that there is an inn at the west gate, and this is the inn in Tongguan Town."

"Oh, but I obviously heard that there is a new inn here." Xiao Man said nonsense.

"Hmph!" The man ignored Xiao Man and turned his attention to the others.

Among the travelers, a bearded businessman stood up and said to the man, "I have booked two rooms. I will squeeze in one room with my servant, and I will give you the other room."

The man thanked his wife and accepted the house key given by the kind businessman.

Chang Xiaoman went back to sit beside Lei Yuxiu, and drank the soup in the bowl.

"You feel abnormal too?" Lei Yuxiu asked.

"Well, it's very abnormal. They seem to be here for the first time, but they are very familiar with it. And the woman looked around as soon as she came in, as if she was looking for something." Xiao Man leaned on Lei Yuxiu's ear whispered.Her warm breath made Lei Yuxiu's ears red.

Lei Yuxiu shook her hand, "Don't worry, I'm here."

After eating, Chang Xiaoman went back to the room first.

Lei Yuxiu asked Shen Lie a few words before pushing the door open and coming back.

"Are you saying that I am overthinking, or is there really a problem with the two couples?" Chang Xiaoman sat on the edge of the bed and asked, dangling his legs.

"I agree with you, hope they play it safe tonight."

"What do you think they will do?"

"I don't know." Lei Yuxiu hung his coat on the hanger, "After walking for a day, go to sleep and don't think about anything else."

"But I'm worried and curious, tired and don't want to sleep." Chang Xiaoman smiled.

Lei Yuxiu sat next to her helplessly, and pushed her bangs away, "I don't think you are tired enough."

Chang Xiaoman opened his hand, "What you said is too ambiguous!" She blushed like a cherry, rolled onto the bed, and moved into the inner side arched.

Lei Yuxiu lay sideways beside her, showing a rare smile, "Why don't I feel any ambiguity, are you thinking too much?"

Chang Xiaoman turned his head and met his eyes, "Yes, yes, I think too much. So it's because I'm really not tired enough, what are you going to do?"

Lei Yuxiu propped his arms on both sides of Xiaoman's head, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "What do you think you should do as a husband?!"

Just that smirk made Chang Xiaoman's heart twitch wildly.

It seems that I haven't seen him so cynical for a long time.

"Okay, okay..." Chang Xiaoman said he was bold, but he was actually an inexperienced coward, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, I feel sleepy now."

Lei Yuxiu smiled and lay beside her, extinguished the candle with one palm, and then closed his eyes.

Chang Xiaoman originally turned his back, but felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned around.

Face to face with Lei Yuxiu, seeing his sleeping face in the faint light, felt that the temptation was too great, and turned around again.

Lei Yuxiu suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap her around her, breathing on the back of her neck, "If you don't sleep, I have to take some other measures."

"Sleep, sleep, sleep immediately!" Chang Xiaoman quickly closed his eyes.

Soon she fell asleep.

But at night, she was suddenly awakened by a slight noise.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Lei Yuxiu had already sat up straight and looked out the window.

"Lei Yuxiu..."

"Hush..." Lei Yuxiu silenced her, "It's different..."
