Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"This is not a good place to talk."

Xu Xingyin frowned slightly and pulled Chunxiang to another place to talk.

"Chun Xiang, don't be afraid of her. Shuang Yu just came a few days earlier than me, but people go to high places and water flows to low places. She is not as good as others, so why can't I fight for her?"

Chun Xiang didn't understand Xu Xingyin's words that were based on classics, but he could keenly feel that she was different today than she was in the past.

This realization made Chun Xiang a little overwhelmed, and he could only gently pull Xu Xingyin's sleeve.

"Xiao Cui, what on earth do you want to do?"

"What?"

Xu Xingyin laughed, "Of course I will replace her! Although I am not as knowledgeable as the young ladies in the manor, my face is no worse than anyone else's. As long as I can seize the opportunity, I will definitely live a good life in the future. Shuangyu is now bullying me by relying on her status as a maid. In the future, I will definitely trample her under my feet and let her taste the taste of bullying others by taking advantage of her power!"

"Bah! You are such a shameless thing!"

Shuang Yu rushed out from behind a big tree while yelling and slapped me.

Xu Xingyin nimbly avoided the slap, dodged his eyes slightly, then stiffened his neck and glared at the other person fiercely.

"Sister Shuangyu, please speak more elegantly. If you are so vulgar, I'm afraid you will not win the favor of Miss Hanrui in the future!"

"You! How dare you speak to me like that!"

Shuang Yu was so angry that he lost all his rationality.

"Bah! Don't think you can climb up to the position of noble just because you have a decent face. Which of the young ladies in our village is not both talented and beautiful? You are not even worthy of being a gentleman! You are so arrogant now, but you are just relying on Miss Hanrui's love. In three days, Miss Hanrui will get married, and I will see who can support you!"

"Look at what Sister Shuangyu said. I still have a decent face, but you have nothing. What right do you have to compete with me?"

"Bah, the young ladies in our villa are all going to marry high-ranking officials and nobles. The masters have seen all kinds of beauties, how could they be attracted to you? When Miss Hanrui gets married, there will be new girls to take her place, but I'm afraid it won't be your turn! The housekeeper said that the master who came last time liked me very much. When the master comes to take me back to the mansion, you will be in trouble!"

"Let me see? I wonder which servant sister Shuangyu has chosen to be so arrogant?"

"Oh, I'm afraid someone is just saying the grapes are sour because they can't eat them! Let me tell you the truth, the master is the county magistrate of Baoling County, a big shot that people like you will never meet in your lifetime!"

Baoling County is a county under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. Liu Yongfeng, as the richest man in Yangzhou, is trying so hard to curry favor with a Baoling County Magistrate?

This matter is always a bit unreasonable.

Seeing that Xu Xingyin did not try to please him, Shuang Yu became even angrier and rushed over while Xu Xingyin was distracted.

Fortunately, Chun Xiang was smart enough to pull Xu Xingyin away a little. Otherwise...

Xu Xingyin is probably drowned in the cold lake right now.

Although they avoided Shuang Yu's push, they both fell to the ground and were injured by the sharp stones.

People can do anything when they are angry. Xu Xingyin would certainly not joke about his own and Chun Xiang's safety, so he quickly called for help.

It was the time to get off work, and a group of people immediately rushed over. Shuang Yu was so scared that he ran away.

Although what Shuangyu did was ugly, what Xu Xing said was also unpleasant.

Therefore, when everyone asked him, Xu Xingyin did not tell the truth, and only mentioned the verbal dispute between the two.

One was Mei Hanrui's maid, and the other was Mei Hanrui's new favorite recently. Everyone naturally knew the truth and did not dwell on the matter too much.

Xu Xingyin didn't say everything, and Shuangyu naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal his identity, so he could only swallow his anger.

After returning to the room, Xu Xingyin and Chun Xiang treated their wounds and fell asleep exhausted.

At night, I could hear Chun Xiang's soft snoring.

Xu Xingyin couldn't sleep either, so he got up, put on a thin shirt and sat on the doorstep. He calmed down and sorted out all the information he had found out in the past few days.

Just as Jing Zhichen guessed, this was indeed the farm where Liu Yongfeng raised skinny horses, and it seemed that the girls in the farm would eventually be given as gifts to some dignitaries.

Of course, there are some with poor qualifications, who will eventually be abandoned and sold to wealthy businessmen as ordinary skinny horses or sent to brothels in exchange for money.

While the girls in the village were given away to the rich and powerful, a new batch of girls would be brought in every once in a while to fill the gap. These girls might have been the victims of the marriage cases involving gods, right?

The "master" they are talking about is probably Liu Yongfeng.

Today Shuang Yu also mentioned two very important points:

First, Mei Hanrui is going to get married in three days. Does this so-called marriage mean that Mei Hanrui will be sent to a wealthy and powerful family?

If we knew who Mei Hanrui was given to, it might be of great help to the subsequent case.

Second, Liu Yongfeng planned to send Shuangyu to the county magistrate of Baoling.

Baoling County can be regarded as the poorest area among the counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou. As a businessman, Liu Yongfeng would not do anything without profit. What benefit would it bring to him to take the initiative to make friends with the county magistrate there?

Most of the businesses under Liu Yongfeng's name are rouge, powder, restaurants and inns. Obviously, Baoling County would not be a good place for Liu Yongfeng to run a business.

So, what was Liu Yongfeng doing?

unless……

Liu Yongfeng wanted to win over a larger force through the Baoling County Magistrate. In this way, he could investigate the Baoling County Magistrate.

Having made up his mind, Xu Xingyin stopped thinking about it and went back to his room to sleep. After all...

There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow.

As Xu Xingyin expected, the news of his conflict with Shuang Yu reached Mei Hanrui's ears the next day. Upon learning about this, Mei Hanrui called Xu Xingyin in for questioning.

Xu Xingyin answered deliberately in an ambiguous way. Mei Hanrui knew Shuang Yu's personality and subconsciously concluded that Xu Xingyin had been wronged, so she couldn't help but whisper a few words to comfort him.

Having achieved her goal, Xu Xingyin was no longer polite to Mei Hanrui, saying that it was not a big deal for her, but she felt quite guilty about Chun Xiang being accidentally injured.

So I wanted to ask Mei Hanrui for a favor and let me go out to buy some ointment to give to Chunxiang, so as to make up for it.

The female doctors in the manor have always only treated the young ladies. If they invited a doctor in, it would be too ostentatious. So the best way was for Xu Xingyin to go out by herself.

Mei Hanrui was aware of this, and after some thought she agreed.

With Mei Hanrui helping her, Xu Xingyin naturally had a smooth journey out of the villa.

But even so, the housekeeper still sent people to follow all the way.
