“I see.” Marquis Ji slowly nodded. “Then, is there a child at home about the same age as the Crown Prince?” He remembered that his son had told him and his daughter about this.

Unfortunately, that child was not.

Otherwise, he would have been protected by the Shao family long ago. He would definitely be protected so much that not even a fly could come into contact with him.

“Yes, that child is called Xue Yan.” After a pause, the man replied, “In the few small rooms at the back of his house, there was a particularly good-looking young lady who lived there. She didn’t seem like she belonged to an ordinary family.

“I asked a child who was alone in Locust Village. That child said that this lady was pregnant and had been holed up in the small room every day. She has never come out. She also said that she was Xue Yan’s cla.s.smate’s elder sister.

“When something happened to her husband’s family, she came back to seek refuge with her brother. Her brother had gone on a study tour. In order to raise money for the study tour, he sold the house.

“So his sister stayed in the inn until her brother sent a letter to her. He asked her to come and find Xue Yan and stay at his house.”

Marquis Ji narrowed his eyes.

He did not find it strange that she was particularly good-looking. He had seen many good-looking women, and he did not find it strange that she was pregnant. However, it was strange that she had been holed up in the small house every day and had never come out.

“I investigated this in Pingan Town. There is indeed a person called Xiao Mochen in Pingan Town. Not only is he Xue Yan’s cla.s.smate, but he also sold his house to study abroad. He also does have an elder sister. As for other things, I couldn’t find out more. However, Xiao Mochen is in the area of Heqi. Ah San has already gone to investigate. I think he will be back in two days to report the results.

“Very good.” Marquis Ji nodded. “The Xue family has a son in the military camp, which means that Shao Shuting didn’t cut off contact with this family after he recovered. If there’s anything strange, we should investigate this matter properly.” “Sir, there’s one more thing.”

“And that is?”

“Xue Sanfu’s elder brother, Xue Yifu, always said how smart his younger brother and sister were. They’re named Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.

“He also said that Xue Sanfu and his other younger brother, Xue Wufu, were doing well in the military camp. It was also these two children who said it.

“I found it strange, but Xue Sanfu’s second sister-in-law said that the two children only comforted Xue Yifu and the family with words they wanted to hear to make them feel less worried.

Hearing this, Marquis Ji’s anger flared up. “Why are you reporting this? They’re just children, and the oldest isn’t even eight years old. No matter how smart they are, they can’t turn the world upside down!

“As long as that child called Xue Yan isn’t the Crown Prince, it would be fine! Stop wasting your energy on places that don’t require your attention!

“Someone already told you that those two children were comforting Xue Yifu and his family, and you still- Report something useful in the future!”

“Yes, sir.” The person who reported hurriedly said, extremely shocked. He had originally planned to suggest sending someone to keep an eye on the two children, but now he did not dare to mention it.

Marquis Ji leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time before saying, “There’s also another brother, Xue Wufu, who went to join the army, right?” Although his subordinate didn’t say it clearly, the implied update had its meaning.

“Yes.” The person who reported hurriedly replied. “He joined the army with Xue Sanfu. However, I asked around from the people in the other villages. Xue Wufu has thin arms and legs. I reckon that this is also the reason why Duke Shao did not personally teach him.”

Marquis Ji said, “Regardless of whether he personally taught them or not, if two of his sons went to the southern camp, it must be because of the Shao family. Fortunately, that family is just a bunch of farmers. They won’t pose any threat to us if they live well in that village..”
