"Keep your voice down, why are you telling me this? Don't you want to be well? If others find out, you'll be finished!"

"Tsk, I'm not afraid. I was just arranged by the master to go to the brothel to get information. Besides, I don't want to do this job anymore. What the master does is head-breaking. I'm going to find a reason to quit this job and leave Jiangnan County. I won't tell you anymore. The master has another task for me."

At the moment the box door opened.

Yan Xia flashed into the space.

"Strange, why are you walking so fast?"

The person who opened the door was a man who looked like a servant.

He saw that there was no one outside the door.

Turned back and reported.

It took Yan Xia half an hour.

Spread this news in the five most crowded places in Jiangnan County.

She didn't dare say more.

It will appear too fake and easily reveal flaws.

After finishing everything, Yan Xia returned home, washed off her makeup, took a bath, and then went to bed comfortably.

The next morning, Yan Xia woke up. She had a meal with Jin Yu, then put on ugly makeup, changed her clothes, and went to Xu's house again.

As she expected.

The people on the street were all discussing in low voices the matter of the night pearl falling into the Xu Mansion.

Even the common people knew about it, so naturally everyone in the Xu family knew about it as well.

When I arrived at Fan’s courtyard, I could see that all the maids had stern faces.

"Investigate it thoroughly! I want to see who dared to leak the secret. If I find out, I will not let him off!"

When she walked outside, Yan Xia heard Fan cursing loudly inside.

She pressed down the corners of her mouth, pursed it into a straight line, then stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"Godmother, what's wrong? Why are you so angry so early in the morning? Who made you angry?"

Yan Xia looked at Fan with concern.

"Hey, you're here. People outside are talking about our Xu Mansion. They say you gave me the Night Pearl. Someone leaked the secret and spread the news. The mansion is investigating. This beast dared to betray the Xu Mansion. If I find out, I will make him live a life worse than death!"

Yan Xia covered her mouth in pretend surprise.

"What? Who is it? Who is that traitor? This is outrageous. So many people are eyeing the Night Pearl covetously. If people knew that the Night Pearl was with you, I'm afraid your house would be in danger. It doesn't matter if I get into trouble, but you, old lady, must not get into trouble! It's all my fault. Someone must have followed me and saw me enter your house. But how did he know that I gave the Night Pearl to you?"

Yan Xia looked extremely worried.

"It's okay. My son is an official after all. I want to see who dares to interfere in the Xu Mansion. Don't worry. I don't blame you. I heard that a servant in the mansion was bribed. Moreover, the theft in the mansion was also related to them. I won't let them go. When I find out, I will make them pay for my jewelry with their lives!"

Fan's eyes narrowed.

Her eyelids twitched slightly.

It seemed that he was extremely angry.

"Anger is harmful to your health. Old lady, please calm down. Come and have a drink of water."

Yan Xia picked up the teacup and fed it to Fan herself.

After a while, Xu Wenyan and Xu Wenshan came, their faces grim.

Yan Xia offered to leave.

He was grabbed by Fan.

"Don't go. You are my goddaughter. There is nothing you cannot listen to. Sit down and stay with me today. I will go back in the afternoon."

Since their mother had spoken, Xu Wenyan and his sister naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

"The head maid in Wenshan's room is missing."

Xu Wenyan's words made Xu Wenshan, who was already in a bad mood, look even darker.

"Gone? How could a living person disappear? Did you ask the doorman when he ran away? He must have been guilty of something!"

Fan slammed the table hard.

Yan Xia immediately held her hand and rubbed it. Judging from her expression, she seemed to be very distressed.

"I don't know. The doorman said she didn't leave through the front or back door, and the house was empty. I'll send someone to search her room. Wait." Xu Wenyan sat down.

The house became unusually quiet.

Yan Xia glanced at Chen Shouguo quietly.

His expression was like a color palette, colorful.

There is worry and fear, panic and anger.

About him being a deserter.

The news has spread throughout Jiangnan County.

"Sir, we found this hairpin and this bag of silver in Xiaoqing's room."

A quarter of an hour later.

Two officers came to report.

They handed over the hairpin and purse.

Xu Wenshan cursed loudly. "That bitch, it's her! Mother, brother, this is my hairpin! Look, I often wore this hairpin when I first came back. I bought it at the border. It's decorated with blue and gold threads. I spent a full sixty taels!"

At the same time, Xu Wenyan also opened his purse.

There was a lot of silver coins in it. After counting, there were exactly thirty taels.

How could a little girl have so much silver?

I have to say, this time it was really an accident.

Xiaoqing is a miser. Ever since she started working as a cleaning maid, she has never spent a penny and has saved all her monthly allowance.

In addition, after being promoted to the head maid, she flattered Xu Wenshan and received rewards from time to time.

She had just saved up thirty taels when she was wiped out.

"It seems that she is the one who is the one. You two, send someone to chase Pu Xiaoqing and bring her back! If she dares to betray my Xu family, I will make her suffer while she is alive and tormented even after her death!"

If Xiaoqing had a family, we could just arrest her family, but Xiaoqing is an orphan.

I investigated it thoroughly when I bought it into the mansion.

Therefore, Xu Wenyan could only ask the officers to find a way to hunt her down.

"Just finding Xiaoqing is not the end of the matter. According to rumors outside, the man who has a grudge against me has probably bribed a lot of people. You should be careful recently. When you talk, remember that walls have ears. I will send more officers to guard our house."

Xu Wenyan said this with a serious expression and went out.

At noon, Yan Xia had lunch with Fan.

Just as she walked out of Xu's house in the afternoon, she saw several policemen dragging the half-dead Xiaoqing in.

Yan Xia curled the corners of her mouth and turned to leave.

Shuangqiao Town at this moment.

The restaurant ran out of ingredients, so Chang Yu went out to buy them himself, but was blocked in the alley.

"Tell me, where is the Night Pearl?"

The two burly men asked her fiercely.

"What night-shining pearl? I don't have any night-shining pearl." Chang Yu said without blinking.

She denied it outright.

"You stinky bitch, I think you're not going to accept my toast and you'll have to drink the wine for punishment!"

Seeing that she was being stubborn.

The two men clenched their fists until they made a squeaking sound and approached step by step.

Just as they reached out their hands and wanted to teach Chang Yu a lesson, Chang Yu closed his eyes in fear.

"what--"

"what--"

Two screams sounded at the same time.

Chang Yu opened her eyes and found Zuo Li standing in front of her, protecting her.

The two burly men were already lying on the ground wailing.

Zuo Li took out his sword and put it on the neck of one of them.

"Do you want to go to jail or get out now?"
