Chapter 546 The news reached the Crown Prince, awaiting the results.
"For a prefect to stick to his ideas, it must be because of interests, or it must be a matter of life and death, or he must have a bigger scheme."
“Yes.” Ling Silang agreed with her idea. Such an unusual thing should be investigated thoroughly.
Du Mingxian added, "The Tian family is strange in every way. Miss Tian spends money like water, and when she gives people silver, it's always dozens of taels. The other members of the Tian family are also quite eccentric."
"After you arrived at the Tian residence, have you met any other people? For example, Madam Tian, Mr. Tian, or other members of the Tian family?"
"No, I only met Ji Heng, the student from the Tian family. I haven't met the others because of my status."
Ling Silang had his own keen insight: "The Tian family is acting very strangely. You can't get involved in this matter. Leave the Tian family."
"I finally got in, and now I can better investigate the Tian family. If we leave now, it will be much more difficult for us to continue our investigation later."
"No, no, no, what if they are all foreigners? Then they would all be ruthless and cruel. It would be too dangerous for you to stay."
Du Mingxian hesitated, "I was thinking that since we finally got in, staying here now would make things easier for us later. Besides, I still have my own space. If I find anything wrong, I can just go into my space and no one will be able to find me. I will take good care of myself as soon as possible."
"Even so, I'm still worried."
“How about this, I’ll stay for another two months. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll leave immediately. I’ve also sent a letter to the Crown Prince and sent a portrait of Ji Heng to the capital. If there’s anything wrong, the Crown Prince will send someone to investigate.”
Ling Silang was worried about Du Mingxian's safety, but since she insisted, he didn't want to upset her, so he could only nod silently, "I'll say it again."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself. You can rest assured."
"to make."
"How's the investigation going in the county? Is there a problem with you coming out now?"
“He’s not in Ping County, he’s in Dong County, at the mass grave where Hongguo died. That place is not under my jurisdiction. I’ve already sent a letter to the capital.”
“I can investigate Ping County and secretly investigate the prefectural city, but Dong County will be much harder to investigate.” Ling Silang was worried when he mentioned this matter. No matter who investigates this matter, it will not be easy to handle.
Du Mingxian didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only say softly, "Take it slow, there will always be a way."
"Yes, we can only take it slowly, we can't rush it."
The two talked in the space for only half an hour before Du Mingxian and Ling Silang left the space together. Du Mingxian was escorted back to the entrance of the Tian residence by Qiu Shu, who had been guarding outside.
In the courtyard of Miss Tian's residence.
Ji Heng was a little unhappy at the moment, but Miss Tian was coaxing her, "Brother, let's wait and see. I'll find a way to get someone else to learn her skills. As soon as they learn, I'll pack them up and send them straight to your bed."
"Then my brother can do whatever he wants, even if he kills or maims someone, no one will say anything."
"Alright, alright, I'll just have to put up with this for a bit. You're just a girl who can only cook. If you like, I'll send someone out to find you someone. With your noble status, what kind of person wouldn't you want?" Ji Heng truly doted on Miss Tian, his eyes always smiling as he looked at her.
Miss Tian secretly stuck out her tongue. "It's not that I've become picky about food because of her. I just really like her milk tea lately. Please wait a little longer, brother."
"Whether I have this girl or not doesn't matter to me; there are plenty of women in the world. But I don't approve of you valuing a servant so much. Do you even remember what happened between us?"
"Brother, don't worry, I remember everything, nothing will happen."
Ji Heng nodded gently, "I will find a way to help Mo, but you must keep this matter a secret. After all, you are engaged to the Prince of Ming, and it would be wrong to go too far with some things."
Miss Tian was a little unhappy. "Brother, do you know how to tell me these things? Have you heard about the scandalous affairs of the Prince Ming's son? Because of his messy affairs, I hardly go out anymore."
"They're just a few women. Once you marry into the family, you'll be the Crown Princess of Ming. No one can get past you. Besides, if you really don't like them, you can just get rid of them. It's all up to you."
Miss Tian sighed, "Brother knows that you only love Mo. I just want to hide him away quietly. As long as he is willing to be with me, even if the Prince of Ming has a child outside, I won't even glance at him."
"I don't care how you play, just don't forget our important mission."
"Brother, please rest assured."
"That's good."
To express her apology, Miss Tian whispered in Ji Heng's ear, "Brother, don't worry too much. Just wait a little longer. Xiao Du is heavily pregnant right now, so she can't really enjoy herself. It'll be better if she plays around soon after giving birth, or after she gives birth."
Ji Heng looked up at her, smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Brother, believe me, I will definitely get her to your bed."
"Okay, okay, I believe you."
While the two were talking, Granny Chen stood in the corridor to the side. She heard every word of their conversation. Her hands, which were clasped together, tightened again and again, and finally she silently let go.
Pretending to be nonchalant, they continued to stand there, guarding their masters so that they could hear their masters' instructions as soon as possible.
When Du Mingxian returned to the mansion, a maid came over and said, "Miss asked you to make two cups of milk tea and send them to the front yard. Young Master Ji has arrived."
She was slightly taken aback. Miss Tian had already agreed to her request, but now she was asking her to deliver drinks to the front yard. Could it be that she hadn't given up yet?
With that in mind, she didn't hesitate and immediately brewed milk tea and delivered it over.
Ji Heng and Miss Tian chatted in the courtyard without doing anything. Du Mingxian stepped forward, put down the milk tea, and then quietly withdrew. They did not exchange words until she left, at which point Ji Heng finally spoke.
"This milk tea is delicious, but it's a bit too sweet."
Miss Tian smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "Good brother, I just love sweet things like this, I have absolutely no resistance to them."
"Alright, alright, as long as you like it. Do you have a contract of servitude for her?"
"No, she's unwilling to sign. However, her husband comes every other day, and I'll have someone keep an eye on him. There's absolutely no need to worry about his loyalty."
"That's good. We must be careful in our actions; our great cause still needs time."
"Brother, please rest assured, I will be extremely careful. I tested her before I wanted her to come into the manor. Her background is clean and there is no problem at all."
Ji Heng praised, "This was handled beautifully. All the people serving you must be thoroughly investigated to ensure your safety."
