Scheme of the Official Descendant

And as unexpected as Old Madam Ren was Aunt Fang.

"You said the person ran away?" Aunt Fang looked at the woman who came to Yunyang City to report, and her usual soft tone was rarely raised.

For some reason, the woman was sweating on her forehead: "Yes, Auntie. We got her out of the house as you ordered, but this man was too cunning, so we let her run away in the end. "

Aunt Fang looked at the tree shadows floating outside the window, her eyes were a little unpredictable, and the people around her dared not speak easily.

After a while, she sighed very softly: "I was negligent. She is not someone who is easy to manipulate. Let's go find it secretly, and you must find it before the eldest wife."

Seeing that Aunt Fang did not pursue their dereliction of duty, the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Yes, yes, yes, servant girl will go now."

Seeing the mother-in-law retreat, Aunt Fang's beautiful willow eyebrows frowned tightly.

The Kang Corporation has disappeared! This group of useless trash!

It's not that she won't punish her subordinates, it's just that she is no better than other righteous masters, and there are not many trustworthy people around her who can be used in the field, and most of them are brought by her from her natal family. Now is the time when she needs to employ people, and it is better to let them make up for their mistakes by punishing them one by one.

However, Aunt Fang still had a shadow in her heart. She chose to run away after saving Kang's family, because she didn't trust her, and she didn't know what mishaps would happen in the future.

When Xiao Jingxi heard the report from his subordinates that the dragon heads were missing, he was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a half-smile, but his eyes were still deep and unpredictable.

What came to his mind at this moment was the pensive expression of Ren Yaoqi looking at the dragon heads in the river when he got off the big boat and sat in the painting boat.

"The people from the Lei family should have done it themselves." Seeing that the master didn't continue to question him, the boy Tongde dutifully said again.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "You just look at it like that?" His tone could not be heard with joy or anger.

Tongde replied meticulously: "The master said before that he would not interfere in these matters. If the master wants to investigate Lei's family, he will send someone there. Their whereabouts have been secretly controlled."

Xiao Jingxi tilted his head slightly, but sighed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, let her go."

Tongde heard that the master's words were a bit subtle and complicated, so he couldn't help but raise his head, not understanding who the master referred to as "he". Or is it the Lei family?

"Where is Tongxi?" Xiao Jingxi seemed to ask casually without giving Tongde a chance to ponder.

Tong De didn't speak, and Tong He who was standing next to him immediately replied: "Tong Xi is cleaning the Book Pavilion, is the master going to summon him now?" After a pause, Tong He thought about it, "He's going to the Book Pavilion these few days. Very diligent."

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows thoughtfully when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything.

Tong Xi or Dong Sheng was indeed in the book pavilion in the study outside the Yanbei Prince's Mansion at this time. The bookstore in the Yanbei Prince's Mansion is very large, and the five spacious rooms are filled with bookshelves, full of books.

Dongsheng was holding a chicken feather burden in the clothes on the back of his neck, but he was leaning under the innermost bookshelf, holding a thick booklet in his hand, frowning and flipping through it earnestly.

Although he told Ren Yaoqi that he hadn't found anything about the Qu family, but Dongsheng was a serious and cautious person. Thinking of Ren Yaoqi's slightly disappointed eyes at that time, he always felt a little uneasy.

So after he came back, he still went to Shuge to check the local chronicles of Yanzhou in the past few decades under the pretext of cleaning, fearing that he had been negligent the previous few times.

Although the bookstore in the outer courtyard of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion is not small and contains a lot of books, there are really only books in it. It is for the counselors of the royal residence who live in the outer courtyard to read books on weekdays, and there is no secret. That's why Dongsheng came in so easily and dared to come in so frequently.

"Still not. How could there be no Qu family that Miss mentioned?" Dongsheng tapped his right index finger, flipped through the booklet in his hand, and muttered to himself.

His voice is very soft, basically his mouth is moving, even if someone is around, he can't hear what he is saying.

Don't want to be at this moment, a gentle voice said: "What are you looking for?"

Dongsheng was startled, and immediately turned his head, but saw Xiao Jingxi standing not far from him at some point, but he didn't notice anyone approaching.

After only being stunned for a moment, Dongsheng immediately put the booklet in his hand on the nearest wooden ladder, and saluted Xiao Jingxi: "I met you, young master. The younger one is here to clean up, so I flipped through the book casually."

Xiao Jingxi casually took the booklet that Dongsheng read before on the wooden ladder, smiled slightly, and looked at Dongsheng: "Local chronicles?"

Dongsheng lowered his head.

Xiao Jingxi handed the brochure back to Dongsheng, but he didn't make things difficult for him.

"Young Master, what kind of books are you here for? I will help you find them." Dongsheng said immediately.

But Xiao Jingxi said: "Just passing by here, I knew you were here, so I came here by the way."

Dong Sheng bowed his head immediately: "My lord, forgive me, I shouldn't leave my post without authorization."

Xiao Jingxi did not answer his topic, but asked in a deep voice: "Is she the one who delivered the news to Lei's family?"

Xiao Jingxi didn't name who she was, but Dongsheng understood, remembering Ren Yaoqi's instructions, he didn't hide anything, and responded very readily: "Yes, my lord."

Seeing him admitting so readily, Xiao Jingxi was speechless.

Xiao Jingxi really seemed to be asking casually. After asking, he went to a nearby bookshelf to look for books on his own.

Dongsheng, who had been paying attention to his movements and expressions, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked over and asked, "My lord, have you heard of a family named Qu? I heard that it was a prominent family in Yanbei decades ago." .”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingxi glanced at Dongsheng in surprise, as if he didn't expect Dongsheng to ask him, but he didn't answer immediately.

Dong Sheng said honestly: "The younger one is helping Miss Fifth to check, but after searching for a long time, I don't have any clue. I don't know if this local chronicle is complete."

Dongsheng asked Xiao Jingxi directly at this moment because Ren Yaoqi told him that the best way to deal with a master like Xiao Jingxi is to be straightforward, don't play tricks, and don't hide what you have to say, otherwise it will be very miserable . He felt that Xiao Jingxi's attitude towards Ren Yaoqi was not bad, at least for now there was no conflict of interest.

Moreover, it was said that the new master was extremely intelligent and omniscient, so Dongsheng asked. Although the serving time was not too long, Dongsheng still had a feeling that if even Xiao Jingxi didn't know about it, no one would know about it.

All the people who served Xiao Jingxi would more or less develop this mentality of blind worship in the process of getting along with him. This can be regarded as a kind of personality charm of Second Young Master Xiao.

Xiao Jingxi was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, but in fact the silence was not too long.

"If the local chronicles here are not complete, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them all." Xiao Jingxi still had a lazy smile in his voice. RS
