Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, the warrior met up with Jiang at the discussed location. He was pretending to be Jiangs younger cousin.
Jiang had instructed his family not to expose the warrior’s ident.i.ty.
When his family saw the amount of money presented, they all foolishly agreed to keep their mouths shut.
Now that the warrior had just moved into Jiangs residence, he did not dare to do anything suspicious.
At the same time, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were actually not in Locust Village. Instead, they were having their meal at Xue Xiaoxi’s house.
However, since he knew that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue would be visiting Xue Xiaoxi’s house for New Year’s dinner today, Shao Zhongxi had eaten breakfast in town and secretly came with Qi Yin to keep watch. They camped in the small houses at the back with Shao Youyue.
He had actually arranged for people to keep an eye on Locust Village. He decided to stay close to his sister to protect her.
In the past, no one knew that his sister was here, and no one knew that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. Now, there was a possibility that Prince Yi learned about the truth early on and was planning to do something sinister. In any case, there was no harm in being careful.
He would leave after Xue Yan and Jiang Yue came back from visiting their relatives. It was not a big deal to be around the Xue residence.
Shao Zhongxi had just finished lunch with his sister and put down his chopsticks when someone jumped into the courtyard from the back wall. Shao Zhongxi’s expression was still as cold as ever when he saw movement in the courtyard.
Although Shao Youyue didn’t understand why her brother was here again today, she was still happy that the siblings were reunited.
She also saw that someone had come and Qi Yin had hurried over. It was obvious that the person was also one of her brother’s men. She smiled and said, “Shao Zhongxi, it looks like you have something to do. Go and deal with it. ”
“Yes.” Shao Zhongxi responded without any emotion and walked out of the small house.
He came to the courtyard wall.
Qi Yin immediately jumped out and stood outside the courtyard wall to keep watch, in case there was anyone close listening in on the conversation.
The person who had come dressed like an ordinary farmer was Shao Zhongxi’s subordinate, he was one of the people who had been keeping an eye on Locust Village.
Seeing that Qi Yin had jumped out to keep an eye on him, he lowered his voice and reported to Shao Zhongxi, “Master, there’s a relative from the neighboring Willow Village in Jiang’s family that just came. I heard that he’s Jiangs younger cousin. I didn’t pay much attention to him at first, but when I learned that he was Jiang Yue’s uncle, I investigated this matter just in case. Yesterday, I overheard someone from Willow Village muttering about Jiangs cousin. Apparently, they don’t look the same. Those villagers met the two family members in the past, and they were sure that this cousin was not the same cousin from before. I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on Jiang and his aunt’s house to see if they are the same people.”
Shao Zhongxi only said, “Keep an eye on him.”
If he really was Jiangs cousin, then there was no need to keep an eye on him. At uncertain times like these, it was best to be weary of newcomers.
“Yes, sir!” The person immediately accepted the order.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned from their aunt’s house, they went to the small house behind them and signaled Shao Zhongxi that he could leave. However, Shao Zhongxi was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he told them about Jiangs cousin in a volume that only they could hear.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
The two of them had the same thought — Prince Yi p s men were finally here.
It was rare for Shao Zhongxi to see through the two kids’ thoughts. It was as if
they had been waiting for this day for a long time. He merely blinked and did not say anything more..
