Meng Huaijun received the letter but did not open it immediately.

In his opinion, the letter sent by Madam Jiang should be given to His Highness for review.

"And a letter."

The abbot covered his lips and coughed lightly, forcing a smile through his cracked lips. When his dark eyes looked at Meng Huaijun, a hint of nostalgia was faintly revealed, as if he wanted to look through Meng Huaijun to another person.

"I asked Jinniang to look up some things for you. Maybe you can use them."

Hearing the word "Jinniang", Meng Huaijun's back stiffened and he subconsciously looked away. He pursed his lips and sighed inaudibly.

The abbot turned his eyes and glanced at Sikong, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sikong, you go out first."

Sikong looked up at the abbot in surprise.

Although he didn't know why the abbot asked him to leave, it was the abbot's order and he had no choice but to obey.

Sikong nodded silently, turned around and left the room.

At this time, the abbot and Meng Huaijun were the only ones left in the room.

The cold wind blowing in from the window also brought a hint of coolness.

After a long time, a hoarse "A Huai" was heard in the silent and peaceful room.

This time, the abbot did not call him "Donor Meng" but "A Huai".

Meng Huaijun looked a little dazed.

No one has called him Ah Huai for many years since his mother passed away.

"I know you still hate Jinniang, but Jinniang is capable and can find out all kinds of information that is hidden in the dark, so I shamelessly asked for this letter for you."

In fact, the abbot not only knew Meng Huaijun, but also knew Meng Huaijun's mother.

Jinniang is Meng Huaijun's aunt and the abbot's fiancée since childhood.

However, the abbot was devoted to Buddhism. At the age of eight, he chose to become a monk and asked his family to cancel his engagement with Jinniang.

Jinniang is lively by nature, does not care about details, and has the demeanor of a woman of the world.

Her thoughts have always been different from those of other girls. She was extremely disgusted with the childhood marriage that had been arranged for her. Before breaking off the engagement, Jinniang had deliberately appeared in front of the abbot to intimidate and threaten him.

Only after the two families successfully broke off the engagement did Jinniang slowly calm down. She also promised the abbot, because of his straightforwardness, that if there was anything in the future where she could be of help, he could just let her know.

The abbot had been communicating with Jinniang all the time, but not often. He would only write one or two letters a year to let her know that he was safe.

Knowing that Meng Huaijun intended to clean up the Jiangnan officialdom, and coincidentally Jinniang was now in charge of the entire Liuhua Lane in Jiangning, which was a good place to get gossip, the abbot wrote a letter asking Jinniang to collect information about the situation in Jiangning...

Only two days had passed since I wrote the letter, and the reply had already been delivered.

Thinking of this, the abbot handed the letter to Meng Huaijun and said, "Open it and take a look first."

Meng Huaijun glanced down and then looked away, his tone no longer as gentle as before, "I don't need her help. What's more, I have almost found out about the Jiangnan officialdom, and I will be able to close the net soon..."

He couldn't accept this letter.

Hearing this, the abbot sighed softly: "Why is Ah Huai so stubborn?"

Meng Huaijun didn't want to mention that woman to the abbot again, and he didn't want to accept that woman's favor. "I'll take the letter that Madam Jiang sent over first."

Having said that, Meng Huaijun stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

"cough cough"

But the abbot's cough could not be stopped. Meng Huaijun frowned and subconsciously stopped and stood where he was.

Jinniang is Jinniang, and the abbot is the abbot. He should be able to tell the difference.

Meng Huaijun: "I'll go out and see if the doctor is here."

Before he finished speaking, without giving the abbot a chance to answer, Meng Huaijun quickly walked towards the door of the room.

As soon as he opened the door, Meng Huaijun saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi standing outside.

"Sir, Madam?"

Meng Huaijun said in surprise.

I never expected that His Highness and Lu Fengyi would come to see the abbot in person.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Is the abbot in there? Master Huaijun, where are you going?"

Meng Huaijun lowered his eyes, quickly concealing the emotions in his eyes, and then revealed a gentle look. He answered: "The abbot is inside. I wanted to come out to see if the doctor has come."

"Eighteen has gone down the mountain to ask the doctor to come over."

Lu Xiaoxiao said: "Based on Eighteen's Qinggong, I believe he will be able to bring the old doctor over to check the abbot's pulse soon."

Meng Huaijun nodded.

Suddenly, Meng Huaijun took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Xie Xi, "Sir, this is a letter sent by Madam Jiang. Please take a look!"

[Wait! Mrs. Jiang's letter arrived so quickly? ]

[Mrs. Jiang is indeed very efficient in her work. I wonder what she has discovered. If she can collect evidence of the Jiangning Governor’s guilt, then things will be even better…]

[I'm a little curious, but I wonder if I can take a look at the letter? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was indeed fully aroused. She blinked, glanced at Xie Xi quickly, and then retracted her gaze. Instead, she kept staring at the letter in Meng Huaijun's hand and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Master Huaijun, why did Madam Jiang send you a letter?"

Meng Huaijun: "..."

Lu Fengyi clearly understood everything in her heart, but now she pretended to know nothing.

Meng Huaijun sighed helplessly, and was also happy to cooperate: "Madam, Master, this is not the place to discuss matters, why don't we go somewhere else?"

"it is good."

Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi responded at the same time.

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her eyebrows at Xie Xi and said with a smile: "How about we find a guest room to sit in first?"

Neither Xie Xi nor Meng Huaijun had any objection to Lu Xiaoxiao's proposal.

There were many guest rooms in the front yard, but Xie Xi still chose the one he had stayed in before.

"That's it."

Xie Xi opened the door and walked in with Lu Xiaoxiao in his hand.

Meng Huaijun followed closely behind.

Meng Huaijun placed the letter in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of Xie Xi: "Please take a look, sir."

Before he finished speaking, the three people in the room noticed a sudden movement in the front yard.

Xie Xi: "It was Eighteen who came back with the old doctor."

"Then I'll go out and take a look."

When she heard that the old doctor was coming, Lu Xiaoxiao could no longer sit still. She wanted to get up and leave, but she did not forget to say to Xie Xi: "Husband, I will be here soon--"

"???"

[Eh? Your Highness, why are you holding me back and not letting me go? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Xie Xi in shock, her round almond eyes filled with confusion: "Husband, what's wrong?"

"There's a doctor there, so don't rush over."

Xie Xi said in a gentle tone: "Madam, I want to confess something to you."

Lu Xiaoxiao:?

Suddenly, I felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn.

Lu Xiaoxiao was getting a little nervous: "What does my husband want to say?"
