This person was still too careless. If they were truly lonely, then there was no one else here. Where did this young wife come from?

It would seem that they were only thinking of how to arrange the villagers, but they did not think that the details were too poor.

It was probably because they came so suddenly and this group of people didn't have enough time to prepare.

"If that's the case, then I really do not dare to disturb her. However, I do not dare to do so out of guilt. Please help me apologize to this old lady."

With that, she turned and patted Paner's head, and laughed: "Since that's the case, then follow me to deliver the food. There are still a few people who have not received it."

As she spoke, she seemed to ask by accident, "Speaking of which, the food here is really plentiful. I really did not expect that the few women in your village could be so capable. "

Xi Mengyao said, pretending to be puzzled, she turned and looked at the young wife: "Only, where did all this water come from? There doesn't seem to be any water source here. You guys carry some water to irrigate and walk on the mountain road. It must be very arduous. "

The young wife had an embarrassed expression as she didn't know how to reply.

"Now that the weather is freezing and the roads are slippery from the rain, it's not good for you to give us your rations." Now that the weather is freezing and the roads are slippery from the rain, you give us your rations.

"What are you talking about? Originally, helping others make us happy was the principle that we were taught since we were young. We are all from the same village. Now that there's a disaster, we naturally have to do our best to help." The young wife quickly stopped Xi Mengyao from speaking.

Xi Mengyao wanted to ask more, but didn't expect a cold and sinister cough from the side.

The daughter-in-law did not know why, but she turned and looked at Fourth Young Master and felt uneasy. She quickly lowered her head to cover her mouth, laughed twice, and then left while laughing, while did understand, but she looked around with a fat face, as if trying to see something. Xi Xi Mengyao immediately grabbed her head back and shook his head as he said, "You don't understand now, don't look at other things to prevent others from suspecting that he and Fatty Er had indeed arrived at the place where she and the old man were staying."

The location of this small courtyard was quite ingenious. Being surrounded in the center, even if one was on the mountaintop, one would still be able to see the situation clearly.

Xi Mengyao looked at the courtyard and knew that they were planning something.

In the end, these people didn't trust them either.

However, it was good to know. As long as he was prepared, this place could be used as well.

Originally, they had wanted Xi Mengyao to set the price here as well. But helplessly, after the old man and young lady had settled in the two rooms, the remaining room was filled with miscellaneous items, and there was no other place for them.

They were not careless and immediately arranged for Xi Mengyao to stay at the house of Fourth Sister-in-Law.

Paner, this little girl, had a big idea and was unwilling to part with Xi Mengyao.

As Fourth Sister listened to her, she wondered what her attitude was.

Xi Mengyao followed along, she did not care much about it and was about to go in to see Old mister Ji, but just as she was about to go over, she saw a person walking out from the courtyard.

When Qi Si heard her footsteps coming over, he looked over in alarm. When he saw that it was Xi Mengyao, the suspicion in his eyes lessened and he immediately went over to greet her.

As he approached, he lowered his voice and said anxiously, "I found that someone was watching us!"

Xi Mengyao nodded, and replied, "Naturally, there will be people looking at you, and they won't recognize you. At this time, I think they want to see what you guys can do."

"Then how should we deal with it?"

"No need to deal with it." Xi Mengyao shook her head.

"You don't need to deal with it?" After Qi Si heard this, he looked at Xi Mengyao in surprise.

Xi Mengyao nodded, and her gaze turned. She could see some clues from the structure and age of the houses in the village.

Only part of these houses were renovated, some of them visible, and almost collapsed.

Based on the clues she had gathered, she would know when she saw these. The places where these people usually stayed were all places that people lived on top of mountains. The houses that were not used to cleaning were covered with trees.

As a result, it was more believable that someone had purposely made a rumor that someone was living here.

At this point in time, she had already determined that Yu Han was not lying.

However, even now, he still did not know whether the person behind all these, other than the person from the organisation that Yu Han talked about, had any other influential people participating.

This matter had been implicated to such an extent that if he were to reveal it, it would be no small matter. He could not act rashly … While she was carefully thinking about it, she also casually said a few words to express their feelings.

Those people didn't know what she was thinking, so they could only accept it.

On this day, Xi Mengyao wanted to find the people here to talk, and find out the cause and effect from their words.

But these wives, after the afternoon, seemed to have come to an agreement. When they saw that it was her, they took the initiative to avoid her.

From the looks of it, Xi Mengyao knew that they were probably suspecting her as well.

Since that was the case, Xi Mengyao did not dare to act rashly, causing the anxiety in her heart to increase even more.

Now, although she had already sent a carrier pigeon back to the manor, even though she was looking at the heaven and earth, she didn't know if the letter was delivered or not.

A day had already passed, and there were only three days left until the time for the case to be solved by the Emperor. He was afraid that he would be delayed if he rushed back. However, as time went by, he was afraid that the case of the princess would be put on the back burner.

That was no small matter.

She calculated that at most, she would stay here for another day before leaving. However, she knew that there was a problem with those people. How could she be at ease if they left behind a bunch of helpless refugees, including the old officials from the previous dynasty.

Judging from the situation in the capital, if there was no one else around to help them, they probably wouldn't have more than a few days to live.

Presumably, she was in a bit of a panic.

What he did not know was that in the Prince Jing Palace, this anxiety had been spreading to everyone.

That day, Song Chongjing had followed what Xi Mengyao had said and entered the palace to see the emperor. Although the Emperor was dissatisfied, he could only accept it.

However, due to his dissatisfaction, the deadline he set for Prince Jing was not extended.

The Emperor told him to investigate this matter thoroughly within the allotted time. If he could show evidence, he would take it out as soon as possible. If he talked nonsense, he was afraid the punishment would be doubled.

After Song Chongjing returned from the palace, he originally wanted to look for Xi Mengyao, but after asking, he found that Xi Mengyao had disappeared without a trace.

He immediately called Yu Han over to question him. Seeing that Xi Mengyao had not come back and did not have any news, Yu Han felt that it was her own fault.

Song Chongjing naturally saw through it and guessed that she might be going to the Jade Pearl Village to scout, thus he immediately sent spies over.

Who would have thought that after the scouts came back, they would all say that they didn't see her there!
