Why marry someone when you are reborn?

The mastermind behind this came out...quite quickly.

It was so fast that Xu Yun found it hard to believe, and for a moment he thought it was some new method of concealment.

The main reason is that it’s really...direct.

After Jia Dongjia rescued his brother-in-law, he asked his servants to accompany his brother-in-law and shout at the place where people were being beaten for a full hour.

The brother-in-law kept covering his face with his sleeves, he was too embarrassed to face anyone.

But... he was still angry.

He was so angry that he couldn't help but curse at the passers-by who were pointing and talking, and even started fighting.

As a result, I lost money again.

Jia Dongjia was also in a very bad mood.

So, when the time came, the two went to Jia Dong's house to drink.

No one knew what the two talked about while drinking, but the final result was that Jia Dongjia left home early the next morning and, after wandering around for a while, found his way to the door of a house.

Gao Yu's people naturally had no idea what had happened in the house.

Anyway, in the end, Jia Dongjia was beaten out.

He looked gloomy, and his expression was three times uglier than when he left.

Gao Yu's men did not continue to follow Jia Dongjia, but secretly inquired about the people living in the house.

This inquiry was not a big deal, but it brought him into trouble with the Cai family.

The Cai family is the Cai family of Cai Ji.

And this family also has some relationship with Cai Ji.

Cai Ji had two servants who grew up with him.

One of them had an older sister who was thirteen years older than her. A few years ago, she was granted mercy by the Cai family and was released to get married.

This is my sister’s husband’s family and my sister-in-law’s husband’s family.

The relationship is a bit complicated.

But even with such a complicated relationship, the sister-in-law's husband's family still wants to publicize that they are someone who has status in the Cai family, and they are always proud of it.

Moreover, relying on the relationship with the Cai family, this family can occasionally get good jobs.

So... there was no need to ask indirect questions, and Xu Yun was easily informed that this incident was most likely related to Cai Ji.

After receiving the report, Xu Yun turned his head and asked Gao Yu: "Did I offend Cai Ji?"

Gao Yu thought about it, but was not sure: "Probably not?"

Xu Yun was even more confused: "My ranking is very different from his. And the Cai family has never made a clear statement against women taking the imperial examination. What does he want to do by targeting me?"

If you say they are competitors, it makes sense.

But Cai Ji was either second or third.

If we want to take action, shouldn’t we look for Gao Xu or Xiao Zheguang?

What are you doing with her?

To be honest, Xu Yun originally suspected it was Gao Xu.

After all, Gao Xu really had a reason to take action against her.

For example, Song Qiao’s calligraphy.

Gao Xu had already asked for a calligraphy, but Song Qiao turned around and gave her one after she refused.

It can be said that Gao Xu's face was stepped on the ground.

It is also possible that Gao Xu holds a grudge.

But Cai Ji...

It is not difficult to tell from his writing style that Cai Ji is definitely not a person with a clear position. He has the potential to flatter and be a fence-sitter. When I met him that day, I found that his style of behavior was indeed like that.

Unlike Gao Xu, who had the arrogance in his bones, Cai Ji did not have that kind of character.

Even if there is, it is hidden very deeply.

Xu Yun thought carefully for a while, wondering if someone else had framed Cai Ji and used Cai Ji as a decoy, but he denied it in the end.

Because Gao Yu's people soon sent back news that the sister-in-law had returned to her parents' home, and then the book boy's sister also returned to her parents' home, which was the Cai family's house.

That's it...

There is nothing to doubt.

Xu Yun remained silent for a long time.

Gao Yu didn't find it surprising: "It's normal, after all, they are all quite young. My father said that the biggest problem of young people is that they can't keep calm."

She waved her hand and asked Xu Yun: "What should we do next?"

Xu Yun folded his hands in front of his stomach, with a serious face: "Let's... stay calm and wait!"

But this time, Gao Yu assigned three people to keep an eye on the two servants and then on the servant's sister.

Now, Gao Yu was short of manpower, and she was struggling over whether she should go back and call two more people.

But Xu Yun felt that relying on others was not enough.

The plan that was once shelved was put back on the agenda.

Xu Yun found Luo Zhan and asked him to help her with something. She rented a house and bought two suitable people to stay there. They did nothing but get information and help her do things that she didn't want others to know.

One of them is called Ding San and the other is called Tian Wang.

Ding San was a scout on the battlefield, and he was injured and retreated. It was only his arm that was injured, so he couldn't lift heavy objects, but he still ran very fast. And what he was best at was not being discovered.

Tian Wang was also a cook who retired from the battlefield. All his family members died in the war. He didn't want to continue serving in the army and didn't know where to go.

Luo Zhan had only one thing to say to the two of them: "Use it with confidence."

Xu Yun knew that the two of them were absolutely reliable.

Xu Yun did not meet these two people in person, but let Chen Ku contact them under the opportunity of visiting Chen Fu and tell them what he wanted them to do.

Xu Yun's first order was to ask two people, one to find out what Cai Ji had done and said recently, and the other to find a way to get close to Jia Dongjia.

Finally, Ding San was responsible for inquiring for information, while Tian Wang pretended to look for work and went to Jia Dong's shop.

As for Xu Yun...he just stayed at home and studied peacefully.

She wasn't panicking at all.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of May.

In a few days, it will be time for the next game.

In the past month, Xu Yun has carefully studied almost all the decisions made by the emperors of China in the past three years.

In the last few days, she planned to take a look at the books in the library about people's livelihood, agriculture, and state governance.

It was at this time that Song Qiao sent the invitation.

They said that mulberries were ripe, so Xu Yun was invited to eat them.

Besides, there is no need to let others know that there are really not many mulberries.

Xu Yun thought about it and decided not to tell Luo Zhan and the others this time, and he didn't even plan to bring Gao Yu.

But Gao Yu could not hide this matter because they had to use Gao Yu's carriage to conceal the truth.

Gao Yu pouted, looking dissatisfied: "What else can I do?"

Xu Yun could only coax her: "Mr. Song must have his own considerations, so let's not cause him trouble. I'll come back and tell you when the time comes."

Gao Yu was still unhappy, but there was no better way.

The next day, Xu Yun went to Song Mansion alone.

Song Qiao was dressed in plain clothes.

This time, only she and Lu An went.

Seeing Lu An, Xu Yun was not surprised at all. He just greeted Lu An with a smile.

Without anyone around, Lu An's attitude seemed much more intimate: "I admire Mr. Xu very much."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Anyone who can make the list is worthy of admiration. Mr. Lu has been doing this lately..."

He looked darker and thinner.

Lu An grinned: "I was planting rice at home and worked for a few days."

Xu Yun was immediately filled with admiration.
