Yue Er was naturally suspicious in her heart, but looking at the serious face of the expression, she did not say much and promptly followed behind Xia Weilan.

The two walked further and further away until they reached a corner. This was a small alley, and no one passed it. However, it looked like a back door.

"Miss?" Yue Er's heart became more and more suspicious, and even after calling out to Xia Weilan several times, Xia Weilan still did not respond.

But this time, Xia Weilan turned his head and silenced her.

She immediately shut her mouth and followed behind Xia Weilan.

At this moment, the two of them were hiding in an extremely narrow corner. Their eyes were focused on a door.

Yue Er blinked her eyes, and nodded, not saying anything else.

The two of them hid in the darkness for a long time, but she did not show anything, instead, Yue Er was unable to squat, and his knees felt sore. He wanted to move a little, but he almost fell down when he moved.

However, at this moment, the door not far from here was suddenly opened.

When Yue Er heard this, he was so excited that she wanted to tell Xia Weilan, but Xia Weilan covered her mouth.

The two of them hurriedly dodged to the side.

On the other side of the door, a middle-aged man quietly opened the door. He looked around for a moment before letting out a sound of "Bugu Bugu Bugu".

Xia Weilan heard the voice, her head stuck out a little, only to hear someone replying him.

After a short while, someone brought in a lot of cloth, which was also of high quality.

"Is this done?" a man said.

"Relax, I'll do my job and you don't need to worry about me. It's all thanks to you that I was able to do it in broad daylight today." Another man said.

Xia Weilan heard the familiar voice, but she was afraid that she would be discovered, so she could only turn her head back. The words of the two men were always vague, they did not seem to be accurate, and she was even more unable to discern anything, causing her heart to sink a little.

"Alright, let's not talk anymore. Let's hurry up and go in." The man continued.

Xia Weilan continued to wait for a good while longer before quickly pulling Yue Er away and leaving.

"Miss, you left too fast, I can't keep up." Yue Er was still holding onto the cloth, seeing that Xia Weilan was walking quickly, she did not say anything, but her footsteps were getting faster and faster, until she could no longer keep up.

Hearing Yue Er's words, Xia Weilan stopped, she looked to her side, and sure enough, Yue Er was already gasping for breath, she was too anxious just now, and did not care about Yue Er.

"Here, I'll bring you some." As she said that, she took out some cloth from Yue Er's hands and hugged it to her chest, then sped up her footsteps.

"Miss, Miss, I really can't walk anymore. How about we find a place to rest for a while? I really can't make it anymore." Yue Er frowned and said.

Xia Weilan stopped again. The current weather had just reached autumn and was a little cold, but looking at Yue Er's face, there were already some sweat trickling down.

"Alright then, let's rest for a while."

An hour later.

The master and the servant were already sitting in a restaurant, the Table had a huge pile of dishes on it.

"Miss, this dish is so delicious." Yue Er's mouth was filled with food, all she could do was stutter.

Hearing her words, Xia Weilan's face sunk as he said: "Today, you are also going with me, you must have also realized that something is amiss, I thought that there must be something strange going on, so I thought that by going to the back door, you might be able to hear something."

"Miss, what did you discover?" Yue Er's expression had also started to become nervous, her mouth full of food without a gift to chew, as she looked at Xia Weilan with curiosity and excitement.

"I have yet to figure this out completely, but I can tell that they must have some sort of plan that allowed them to collude together. And the result of that is them continuously hollowing out the Hou Mansion's gold and silver." Xia Wei analyzed the situation calmly. As she spoke, she propped up the window and looked out at the crowd outside. Her heart sank even further.

Yue Er was shocked, "What? Was there such a thing? That means, the Second Aunt is really that way! "

"Don't say too much. This matter hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet. Don't say too much at this time, in case the situation comes to light." Her eyes were calm.

With that said, Yue Er no longer spoke, she focused on eating.

As for Xia Weilan, when she looked at the scenery outside, her heart was heavy. Just who was the person colluding with the shop?

After finishing their meal, the two of them returned to the Hou Mansion. However, the sky had already darkened.

"Miss, this servant will help you wash." Yue Er brought a basin in.

Xia Weilan nodded her head. She felt dizzy and allowed Yue Er to manipulate everything.

"Miss, I heard from the maidservant in the manor that Young Master is about to return." Yue Er said as she washed up.

Xia Weilan suddenly opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"

"It's Xia Zihao, the Second Young Master." Yue Er said cautiously. She looked at Xia Weilan with a hint of anger in her eyes, hence she was unavoidably a little nervous.

"Pah!"

Xia Weilan slapped her hand on the Table, her face was filled with anger, and the phoenix eye was filled with hatred.

"Small. "Miss?" Yue Er was shocked by the sudden voice, and the body unconsciously shivered.

"You can go down first, I'll handle this myself." Xia Weilan said.

Yue Er saw that her current emotions were not very stable, and wanted to stay behind to accompany her, but she acted as if she did not want to bother with anyone, so she had no choice but to leave.

"Xia Zihao, you're finally back." Xia Weilan said as he gnashed his teeth.

Her hatred, the hatred in her heart, how could it be something that could be explained so clearly in a single sentence or two?

Xia Zihao was Second Aunt's only son and had been raised outside the palace. This time, it was most likely Second Aunt who brought his back, as her influence in the manor was no longer strong enough, so she wanted his son to come back and help her.
