The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Zhou Pei limped back to his residence.

The house hadn't been cleaned for several days and there was already a thin layer of dust.

The servants of Prince Xuan's mansion moved all the piles of gifts off the car, and the housekeeper directed two maids to clean the house.

"Mr. Zhou was unwilling to move into the house arranged by the prince, so the prince ordered me to send him back to his residence and settle him down.

This is the title deed to the yard where you live now, please accept it."

The butler handed a brocade box respectfully to Zhou Pei.

Zhou Pei did not hesitate and reached out to take the brocade box.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I, Zhou, thank you!"

The housekeeper left two maids and servants to serve Zhou Pei, and then returned to Prince Xuan's palace.

Zhou Pei sat down in the room and sent all the maids and servants out. Then he limped around the room and began to search carefully.

Once he finds the letter that Zhao Huayin had sent, he can go to the Shangshu Mansion and make a big fuss.

With evidence in hand, he could spread the word that the young lady from the Shangshu Mansion was frivolous and unruly.

As long as this reputation is ruined, won’t the Shangshu Mansion send Zhao Huayin over and beg me to marry her?

Humph! What a rich lady, she will still ask me to give her a bowl of rice to eat.

Zhou Pei was thinking as he searched, it seemed like he just put those letters away casually last time.

Why can’t I find it right away?

Could it be that there was no one in the house during this period and the letters were taken away?

But it looked as if no one had been in this house just now.

Zhou Pei became more and more anxious as he searched, and soon a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body.

Once I sweat, the wounds on my body will hurt more.

Zhou Pei didn't care about anything else. He called the servant in the yard in and searched the house again, but still couldn't find it.

Finally, Zhou Pei ordered the servant to move the bookcase away, and only then did he find the letter at the bottom of the cabinet.

Holding the letters in his hands, Zhou Pei's face was filled with joy.

"Finally found it, hahahaha..."

With these letters, as long as you have a plan, why worry about not being able to marry the Shangshu's daughter?

Zhou Pei's smile widened and he held the envelope tightly in his hand.

After a while, Zhou Pei waved his hand, and the servant beside him came over and whispered a few words to the servant, who then took his orders and left.

The servant sneaked to the back alley of the Shangshu Mansion and handed a note to a maid wearing a veil.

He took the letter from the maid and returned to Zhou's house.

"Miss, Xiaohong, who is beside Miss Yu, met a servant in the back alley today."

When Dianxue came in to talk, Zhao Huayin was finishing the work. After working for many days, the inkstone screen was finally embroidered.

"Did you find out who it was?"

"I have sent someone to check it out. It is just as the young lady expected. It belongs to the Zhou family."

"I think Zhou Pei was appreciated by King Xuan, and he was given all the maids and servants."

Zhao Huayin chuckled, put away the last stitch, and cut the embroidery thread.

"I guess the two of them are discussing how to lure me into the game."

"How is the girl going to deal with this?"

"Deal with it? Why should I deal with it? They are digging their own graves!"

Zhao Huayin's face suddenly darkened.

"You had someone deliver peony to Yu Ying'er's room. Is there any movement?"

"The Second Miss didn't send anyone over, and Miss Yu's courtyard is the same as usual, and there seems to be no movement."

Dianxue said hesitantly.

"girl!"

Liuyun opened the curtain and entered the room.

"The old lady just sent a letter saying that the wife of the Marquis of Qi will hold a hairpin party at Pinyaju the day after tomorrow and invite all the ladies and girls in the capital.

The second young lady caught a cold and felt unwell, so she will go with the old lady."

Zhao Huayin and Dianxue looked at each other. Isn’t it coming?

The wife of the Marquis of Qi was a close friend of Old Lady Zhao, and Old Lady Zhao would definitely go to any gathering she held.

But in the past, Madam Zhao always brought Zhao Huaqin to banquets.

It seems that someone has already set the stage for Zhao Huayin.

"Dianxue, find a more exquisite box to pack this inkstone screen and send it to the Fourth Prince's residence."

"Didn't the girl say she wanted to meet the Fourth Prince?"

Liuyun asked doubtfully.

"Yes, but not in the Fourth Prince's residence."

Zhao Huayin smiled.

Soon, Dianxue found a gold-painted sandalwood box. Its elegant and simple style was perfect for the inkstone screen embroidered by Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huayin put the inkstone screen inside and placed a letter in the interlayer of the lid. Then she ordered Dianxue to deliver the gift to the Fourth Prince's residence.

When Yan Qi heard that it was Zhao Huayin's maid who came to deliver a thank-you gift, he invited her in.

"This inkstone screen is my daughter's gift to thank Your Highness for your help. Your Highness, please be sure to open it and take a look."

Dianxue especially emphasized the last sentence before leaving.

Yan Qi opened the lid, took out the inkstone screen inside and placed it on the desk.

Ever since Yan Qi knew the gift Zhao Huayin prepared for him, he had been secretly looking forward to it.

Now, seeing the bright and beautiful crabapple blossoms on the inkstone screen, the softest part of Yan Qi's heart couldn't help but be moved.

Did she remember it too?

Yan Qi reached out and gently touched the crabapple flower, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

Suddenly, she remembered what the maid had just said and looked at the box again.

Upon closer inspection, Yan Qi discovered a mark on the lid of the box, and reached out to open the interlayer.

He took out a letter from inside, with only one sentence on it: I will wait for you to see me at Pin Yaju at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

The elegant handwriting went straight to her heart. She wanted to see him!

After a moment of excitement, Yan Qi couldn't help but worry. Could it be that she was in trouble and had to ask him for help?

"Order the eagle to come to me."

"Yes!"

Mu Xiao hurried out to pass the message to Feiying.

"Lord!"

"Is there anything going on at the Zhao Mansion?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the Zhao Mansion has been peaceful these days, and nothing else has happened."

Yan Qi frowned slightly.

"Has anyone troubled Miss Zhao?"

"No, Miss Zhao has been staying in her room these days and rarely goes out. However, Miss Zhao has received an invitation to attend the hairpin appreciation meeting of the wife of Marquis Qi the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow? The hairpin appreciation meeting?

Could it be that our meeting tomorrow is just for this matter?

Yan Qi waved to Feiying.

"You go back. You can follow her the day after tomorrow and protect her."

"Yes, my lord!"

Mu Xiao knew that Yan Qi valued Zhao Huayin, so he tried to comfort him.

"Master, rest assured. You will know what happened when you meet Miss Zhao tomorrow. If Miss Zhao has any difficulties, Master will help her solve them."

"Alright."

Yan Qi then withdrew his thoughts.

"Is there any progress on Jun Jian's side?"

"Zhou Pei has already given the layout map he wrote down to His Majesty the Second Prince, and he himself has received a generous reward from His Majesty the Second Prince. Now that His Majesty the Second Prince has obtained the layout map, he will surely make some plans soon."

Yan Qi sneered.

"My second brother will certainly not waste intelligence. He will definitely take action in the next few days to test the authenticity of the intelligence. You should be prepared."

"I understand! In addition, Jun Jian reported that the servant next to Zhou Pei has contacted the people next to Miss Yu in the Zhao Mansion.

Jun Jian was afraid of delaying his master's important task, so he did not intervene. "

"Humph……"

Yan Qi smiled coldly, such a person actually coveted his little girl.

"Keep him for now. This chess piece is still useful for the time being."

As soon as Mu Xiao saw the smile, he knew that this unfortunate scholar had completely violated his master's taboo.
