“He asked me who the beautiful lady in the small house behind your house was. I told him that she was Xue Yan’s classmate’s sister. He then asked why your classmate’s sister was here and what his name was. I didn’t really remember, but I knew that his surname was Xiao, so I told him that.” Xiao Dou said honestly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could instantly confirm that the person who inquired about who lived in the small house behind them should be the person who had climbed the courtyard wall. Moreover, it was someone who did not know Empress Shao.
If he knew Empress Shao, he wouldn’t have asked Xiao Dou.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
Then, Xue Yan told Xiao Dou, “Xiao Dou, next time you meet someone you don’t know, just ignore them. Quickly find your parents or ask the villagers to go with you. It’s not good if they’re a bad person.”
“My parents weren’t at home at that time, and Grandma happened to be picking vegetables. She said that she would be back in a while and asked me to play in the courtyard. She didn’t close the courtyard door, and that man came in. I know what I want to do now, I’m going to play soccer!” After saying that, Xiao Dou happily ran off with the other children to kick the pig’s bladder.
“That person asked a lot of right questions and now knows the surname is Xiao. He will definitely go to the academy to investigate. He will probably go to your classmate who is studying abroad and test him face to face to see if it is true or not.” Jiang Yue said in a low voice as she continued to go home with Xue Yan.
Xue Yan nodded. He felt the same way. Fortunately, he had already written a letter.
“Mochen has always been quick-witted. Even if I didn’t write a letter, he would have noticed that something was wrong. Now that I’ve written a letter, he will definitely be able to help me cover up this lie.” Xue Yan said.
When Jiang Yue heard that, she knew that his classmate who went to study abroad was called Xiao Mochen.
However, since he was so sure, Xiao Mochen would definitely have the ability to help him make this matter a simple passing one.
“I didn’t hear that anyone else came to the village today. That person should be the same person who came to inquire about Sanfu and the military camp.” Jiang Yue said.
“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. He also thought so.
“Judging from the way he asked Xiao Dou, it didn’t seem like he was here specifically for Aunt Xiao.
“It seemed like when he entered our house, he realized that someone was living in the back of the hut. Hongyan was already suspicious of him, so he couldn’t continue asking.
“He quickly left and then secretly went to the back. He climbed over the wall and saw that Aunt Xiao was especially good-looking. He must have found it strange.
“Coincidentally, there were no adults besides Xiao Dou, so he asked Xiao Dou.”
Jiang Yue deduced.
“That’s very likely.” Xue Yan nodded again.
“If that’s the case, then the problem lies with Sanfu.” Jiang Yue looked at him.
“When the letter is written and Shao Shuting replies, we should know why someone is investigating Sanfu.” Xue Yan said.
“I think so too.” Jiang Yue nodded.
Their new house was in front of them. The two of them had basically figured out the situation, so they did not talk about it anymore. Their family was already preparing dinner at home. As soon as they came back, they started eating.
After dinner, Xue Yan wrote a letter and asked Xia Han to send it to Quanping
Inn.
That night, Xia Han sent it over.
The next day, after eating breakfast, Xue Yan received Shao Shuting’s reply. In the reply, he said that other than being personally taught by Duke Shao every day and becoming more and more outstanding, nothing else had happened.
Xue Yan showed the letter to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue looked at it and nodded. “Since nothing else happened, it must be because Duke Shao personally taught him that made him eye-catching. That’s why he attracted people to investigate Sanfu..”
