Chapter 306: Negotiation

It was dawn, and Chu Xinyu vaguely felt someone covering her with a quilt, and then said softly: "Don't worry about Lan Yi, I will help you find her. You can rest in the mansion for two days."

After waking up, he found that Lin Chenyao, who was sleeping on the other side, had already left. Only Zi Ling knew that when he left, the mother, mother and maid in the pavilion did not get up.

Last night, Lin Chenyao told him that because of worrying about Lan Yi, Hun took people to swim along the banks of Huanxi River to search. Chu Xinyu was also worried. Although he knew that Lan Yi understood water nature, he was not calm when he knew that she was hurt.

Now that Lan Yi's suspicion has been cleared, she shouldn't have been living so enduringly and stayed by her like a shadow. She was originally the legitimate daughter of a large clan and the heir of the Xiang family, but now she is in the dark.

She is so talented about making incense that such people should not be buried, nor should they be reduced to living like rats crossing the street. After thinking about it, she finally made a decision.

After going to Anshantang to pay tribute, he went to the study room in the outer courtyard. At this time, Chu Xiao had already gone down to the court and was talking to Chu Zhizhang in the study room. The servant who was guarding the study room saw her coming from afar and knocked on the door and said, "Second Master, the fifth girl is here."

When Chu Xinyu approached, he heard Chu Zhizhang's words coming from inside, "Dad, look at the fifth sister, please give me some face..."

Then he heard Chu Xiao's angry voice saying, "If you know that face is important, don't mention this matter again. OK, you go out first."

Chu Xinyu came to the outer courtyard for the first time and didn't know what was going on, but the servant seemed to be used to this situation. He pushed the door open for her with a calm expression and let her in.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw Chu Zhichang coming out. When he saw her, he said, "Fifth sister, I'm sorry for Lan Yi's affairs. The people we sent out have no news yet."

Chu Xinyu dialed, "No news is good news."

"That's right, but you don't have to worry. She must have a good appearance."

“I think so too.”

"By the way." Chu Zhizhang remembered what Chu Xinyu told him to investigate the day before yesterday, and said, "You ask me to investigate the matter of the deputy commander. I asked my friend. He is indeed the distant relative of the Crown Princess, but it is not that he has a relative relationship with the Crown Princess, but his wife, the distant cousin of the Crown Princess. He married the Crown Princess three years ago. The fact that he was able to become the deputy commander was also related to this relative relationship."

After hearing what he said, Chu Xinyu was even more sure that the deputy commander had something to do with Xu Zhilan. This person was most likely Xu Zhilan's secret line, so this person must be eliminated and cut off her retreat.

"Thank you, third brother."

"We are brothers and sisters, why are you polite?" Chu Zhizhang smiled and patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you need help, just speak, don't be embarrassed."

"certainly."

"You have something to do with your father?" Chu Zhizhang asked. Chu Xinyu rarely came to the outer courtyard before, and was afraid of his father. This time he came, there must be something important.

Chu Xinyu nodded. She came for Lan Yi's affairs. She didn't understand the affairs of the court very much. I thought it would be better to discuss it with my second uncle.

"Then you go in."

Chu Zhizhang made way and asked her to go in and closed the door when she went out.

When Chu Xiao saw Chu Xinyu coming in, he said, "Why don't you rest more?"

These days she has been busy and tired of serving porridge, and she has been in jail for a day and a night. Although she hasn't done anything in the prison, she is a girl after all. After entering such a place, she is scared even if she is brave.

"I'm fine now." Chu Xinyu said: "Second Uncle, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Xiao sat down next to the desk and reached out to show Chu Xinyu taking his seat.

Chu Xinyu sat down and said, "Have you ever heard about the Xiang family, the richest man in Jiangnan, who was searched by the court many years ago?"

Chu Xiao nodded, "This incident was a sensation back then. I heard that the court recently burned a batch of spices. It was a warehouse located in the suburbs of the Shadow Group. Why did you suddenly talk about this?"

"What I discussed with you is related to the Xiang family affairs."

Chu Xiao looked at Chu Xinyu. When he came back these days, what he did when he saw this niece did was beyond his imagination. He first raised funds to provide disaster relief and solved the urgent problem for the court. He praised her inside and outside, and then planned a porridge and cloth delivery event. Although she pushed all the credit to Princess Zhaoyang, he knew in his heart that if this girl had not given her guidance behind her back, Princess Zhaoyang, who could not leave the boudoir door with three steps, would have done so well.

This girl is indeed impressive. Although I don’t know what she has experienced in the past two years and has achieved such a big change, overall, her change is a good thing. Among the children of the eldest brother, she is probably the best. If Min was not abducted by Yuan, Xu is also so outstanding.

Zhimin liked to watch him practice martial arts at a young age, and he also wanted to be a teacher with great ambitions. He said that he would be a general in the future and defend his country.

Thinking of this, he sighed long and said, "You said."

Chu Xinyu explained Lan Yi's identity to Chu Xiao, and said that there were many suspicions about the Xiang family's house being searched back then. The emperor had sent someone to investigate the matter secretly, but Lan Yi's identity as a descendant of the Xiang family could no longer be concealed. This smallpox incident seemed to be targeting her, but in fact, the real target was Lan Yi, and someone had seen through her identity.

The person who really framed the Xiang family was in the capital. If Lan Yi's identity was continued to be hidden, she would probably be murdered at any time. Only when her identity was exposed would those people dare not attack her.

"How did you learn about these things?"

Chu Xiao frowned slightly. He had never heard of these things as an official of the court, but she knew that the emperor was secretly investigating. Could it be that Lin Chenyao told her? If so, have they met in private?

Chu Xinyu knew that he could not hide it, so he confessed: "Second uncle, don't be afraid to tell you honestly. Do you know how the incense shop in Yuan who managed my biological mother was burned? She took over from my father and colluded with the Shadow Organization to secretly produce banned spices from the Xiang family. Half of the profits from it fell into her pocket and half of the account was cut off from my aunt's account. Fortunately, the King of Qin discovered it. I was afraid that the court would find it out and implicate our Chu family, so he sent someone to burn the incense shop. My grandmother knew about this."

Chu Xiao suddenly angrily took a photo of the desk, "She is so brave, she can even do such a thing?" Then he looked at Chu Xinyu and said guiltily: "Girl, I'm sorry, my second uncle didn't protect you."

He was very glad that the matter of the Xiangshou was settled by the King of Qin in time. If it was found out, the Chu family would suffer and become the real scapegoat behind the scenes. However, he really didn't expect that Yuan would collude with the Shadow, but fortunately he had already retired.
