Chapter 224 Come find me
Eleven bit her lip: "But we don't know who he is either?"
"If he were to come knocking on your door one day, would you acknowledge him?"
After a moment of silence, Eleven said, "Whether I acknowledge him or not depends on what kind of person he is. If he didn't know we existed before, and that's why we suffered so much, then I'm willing to forgive him."
“If someone is bad, then I will naturally not forgive them, nor will I acknowledge them.”
Eleven tilted her head and thought for a moment: "However, no matter whether I forgive him or not, whether I acknowledge him or not, I will not follow him. I will always stay by my mother's side. After all, my mother is the one who went through so much pain to give birth to me and raise me."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled, then raised her hand and tapped Eleven's lips: "You have such a sweet tongue."
Eleven chatted with Ye Qing'an for a while before taking his leave. As soon as Eleven left, Ye Qing'an went to the Cloud Dream Realm.
Jiuxiao was holding a book and guarding the alchemy furnace. Before, when there was only the alchemy furnace, his pleasure was guarding it. Now that there is a library, his pleasure has become reading various books on business and making money while guarding the alchemy furnace.
"Why is Liu Xueying so stubborn? She's failed to get anything out of you several times, yet she still dares to come back?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao casually, then suddenly came to her senses: "Oh right, I seem to have forgotten that I am now a spiritual cultivator and can completely cut off your connection with the outside world. Since I'm not in here, I can prevent you from hearing any noise outside."
"..." Jiuxiao was keen on listening to all kinds of gossip, and this news was like a bolt from the blue for him.
"Are you just itching to do something inappropriate for children with Yi Moxu?"
Ye Qing'an sneered: "Shut up. If you mention Yi Moxu again, believe me, I'll pull out your snake tongue!"
"..." Jiuxiao gritted his teeth: "Fine, you're ruthless."
No, it's not a snake at all!
Why does it seem like he's been completely brainwashed by them?
Ye Qing'an was too lazy to chat with Jiu Xiao, and went straight to the point: "I asked you to investigate the origin of Mr. Ling Jun's spirit cloud belt before, have you investigated it?"
Jiuxiao gave a light snort, looking reluctant: "I've checked, I've checked. I've just been too busy lately, I forgot to report to you."
“That Spirit Cloud Belt…” Jiu Xiao pursed his lips: “You asked me to investigate before, so I checked the entry and exit records of the Night Mansion’s warehouse, but I didn’t find any records about the Spirit Cloud Belt.”
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That Lingyun Belt should have been delivered to Mr. Lingjun several years ago. Several years have passed. Even if the Lingyun Belt had appeared in the warehouse, Liu Xueying should have erased all traces long ago."
Jiuxiao responded, "Later, I spent money to find out about Bai Xiaosheng and some intelligence gatherers. I did find out some information. The Spirit Cloud Belt was originally made by a female blacksmith decades ago. Later, the blacksmith gave it to her lover. After several changes of ownership, the blacksmith's family fell into poverty and eventually ended up in a shop that sells spiritual artifacts."
“I checked the shop’s account books again, and the records show that the Lingyun Belt was bought by the household of Lin Junxian, the Grand Minister of Agriculture in Wangjing City.”
"At the residence of Grand Minister of Agriculture Lin Junxian?"
Ye Qing'an frowned: "If it was bought by someone from the household of Grand Minister of Agriculture Lin Junxian, why did it end up in Liu Xueying's hands?"
"This matter is not a coincidence. You have met Lin Junxian's wife before."
Ye Qing'an searched her memory carefully for the name, but couldn't recall it at all: "Why don't I remember?"
"Oh dear..." Jiu Xiao exclaimed anxiously, "You have a bad memory, so you don't remember? Lin Junxian's wife is Liu Xueying's sister."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing'an remembered that she had met her aunt at the Prince of Anding's residence before, and at that time, those ladies did indeed call her Madam Lin.
It turned out to be the case.
"After I found out about this relationship, I felt that the Spirit Cloud Belt must have been given to Liu Xueying by her sister. If it was a gift, the household's account books would usually have a clear record of it, so I secretly stole the account book and actually found it."
As Jiu Xiao spoke, he took out an account book from under a nearby stone and tossed it to Ye Qing'an: "There is indeed a record about the Lingyun Belt in it, and it clearly states that it was a gift given to the Ye family."
"I also brought back the account book for the Lingyun shop."
Ye Qing'an took it, examined it carefully, and then nodded: "Okay, this evidence is enough."
“Yes.” Jiuxiao nodded casually: “Then you can threaten that Mr. Lingjun. If that doesn’t work, you can get him drunk and make him speak the truth.”
"Get them drunk..." Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's a good idea."
"Of course." Jiu Xiao, suddenly praised, proudly raised his head: "Of course it's a good idea, I'm very capable too, okay?"
Ye Qing'an neither confirmed nor denied it, and put both booklets away.
Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an: "What are your plans next?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Next, I'll take some time to visit the brothel you bought for me, then find a way to build a force that can gather information, and then start with the Gu family, one of the four great families..."
"Gu family?"
Jiuxiao's face was full of confusion: "Why the Gu family? The Gu family and the Ye family shouldn't have any connection, right?"
"I'm not telling you." Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, her expression playful. "Aren't you incredibly clever? Guess for yourself..."
"..."
Ye Qing'an began to meditate, but her mind was racing. She felt that she had many things she wanted to do...
We have to do it one by one.
Just as Ye Qing'an emerged from the Dreamland of Clouds, she saw Zi Xiao carrying a food box as she walked in through the door, tiptoeing and trying not to make a sound.
Seeing Ye Qingan sitting by the window, she breathed a sigh of relief: "This servant thought Miss was sleeping. This is something that Doctor Xu sent over. He said that Doctor Xu was out on business and brought it for Miss. It's pastries made by a popular restaurant in the city recently."
"okay, I get it."
Zi Xiao withdrew, and Ye Qing'an opened the food box. The food box had three layers and contained three plates of pastries. Ye Qing'an took out the pastry plates, but then noticed that there was a note under the bottom pastry plate.
Note?
Ye Qing'an frowned, took out the note and unfolded it. She saw that the handwriting on the note was flamboyant: If you want to know about the Gu family and Gu Duo, come find me.
