r..." Even her own skin felt goosebumps rise."Be honest..." The guard outside heard her voice and reluctantly opened the door. However, when they saw Xiao Yuge's appearance, they were immediately stun..."Brother Ye, I'm so happy that you consider me your friend. No matter what others say about you, in my heart, you are my best brother." Xiao Yuge stepped forward and embraced him. With the memories of her past life, she knew, Ye Wuhuan was the first friend she wanted to make after being reborn. Of course, it wasn't just because he controlled Qianjigong, but more importantly, she knew that he was just cold on the surface but kindhearted. Being friends with someone like him was naturally beneficial without any harm.

"What are you doing…" Her sudden hug left Ye Wuhuan feeling a little awkward. He hesitated for a long time before finally returning the embrace. Her words touched him deeply, as he had never been so openly affirmed by a woman before. In this moment, his heart seemed to overflow with joy, and the happiness in his eyes was almost bursting out.

"Hmm!"

Just at this moment, Xiao Yuge's stomach made a noise that couldn't be ignored. She then remembered that she hadn't eaten much for dinner and was naturally hungry now. With an embarrassed face, she asked: "Night Big Brother, is there anything to eat I'm so hungry!"

"Alright, I'll order someone to do it right away." Ye Wuhuan hurriedly called over Mingye and instructed him to arrange for a good table of dishes to be sent over immediately.

Seeing his master laugh until the corners of his eyes crinkled, Mingye let out a sigh of relief. Sure enough, as soon as Miss Xiao Er arrived, even if the Pavilion Master had a terrible temper, it vanished. It seemed that if he wanted to survive, he would have to cling tightly to Miss Xiao Er's leg.

"By the way, Ye Gege, did you find out about the person I asked you to look into before The coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner. I hope we can resolve things by then."

"The person has already been found in Li Prefecture and is currently being secretly brought back. In a few days, he will arrive here. When he gets here, I'll let you know."

Xiao Yu's song shook her head: "No! I can't let her see me, and I can't mention me. At that time, all you need is for her to tell the story of how the eldest daughter of the Xiao family fifteen years ago was lost, in detail. However, she might tell a lie..."

“Girl, you’ll know later, I have plenty of ways to make people tell the truth in Qianjige.”

Xiao Yu Ge heard this and smiled, "I believe that. However, we can't torture her to the point of ruin, or my plan will be foiled."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she lives well."

"What about the Yujian Mountain Villa"

Speaking of this, Ye Wuhuan frowned slightly, seeming a bit troubled: "My people were discovered while conducting a secret investigation. It seems someone is actively trying to obstruct it. Even when we find some clues, they seem deliberately arranged. So, the truth still takes some time."

Xiao Yu Ge nodded, "Hmm, thank you, Brother Ye. As I thought, the matter of Yu Jian Mountain Villa is definitely not ordinary. I'm very worried about Lou Lan's safety. If Yu Jian Mountain Villa was really silenced, then those people would definitely not let her go."

>

"It's fine, I sent people to protect her. They are all skilled fighters, they should be able to keep her safe." Ye Wuhuan thought for a moment and said: "However, according to the clues we have found so far, it all points to one person."

"Who"

"King Liang, a thousand farewells for the night!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It's him!" Xiao Yuge wrinkled her brow: "What does he want to do" If it was really King Liang, and he dared to harm Lou Lan, she wouldn't stand idly by.

"Why else, it's all for that position. He is the eldest son, but not the legitimate heir. The emperor favors the legitimate heir over the eldest, so he naturally feels discontent. He and the Crown Prince have been vying against each other, secretly and openly, for a long time. Everyone knows this basically. The Yu Jian Mountain Villa has been crafting weapons for the royal family for generations. If you control the Yu Jian Mountain Villa, then you'll have a weapon to balance your opponent."

Xiao Yu Ge pondered for a moment and agreed, "Night Brother, would you mind helping me investigate further Who is currently in charge of Yujian Mountain Villa As long as we find out his background, it won't be difficult to uncover the people behind him."

"I've already had people look into this. His name is Gao Da. He comes from a humble background. His father is a blacksmith, and his mother is an embroiderer. He has no siblings. He relied on his skills to pass the imperial examinations and subsequently served in Qingzhou. There's nothing to be found about his background in the palace. This transfer was personally appointed by the emperor with no recommendations from anyone. It's simply because the emperor heard that his blacksmithing skills are exceptional."

Xiao Yu Ge listened and pondered for a long while before voicing her doubts: “For someone with no background to be promoted so abruptly by the Emperor, that’s already very abnormal. Furthermore, although his background seems flawless on the surface, it's actually riddled with holes. Think about it, a blacksmith and an embroiderer's child would be recorded in government documents as either a slave or a lowborn. Even if the current Emperor values talent greatly, how could he possibly climb up through the ranks of local gentry, magistrates, and prefects to reach his current position”

"You're right as always, little one. I was careless. I'll have someone investigate this thoroughly!" Ye Wuhuan couldn't help but admire her. At such a young age, she had thought so comprehensively.

At this time, the dark night had already brought the food.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Xiao Yuge was so hungry she almost drooled: "Ming Ye, you guys are too amazing, you made so many delicious dishes in just a short while."

"Miss Xiao Er, if you like it, this is a fine brew made by Qianjige. Please enjoy yourself!" Mingye placed a bottle of wine and then carefully glanced at his master quickly, then hurried out because he got two words from his master's eyes: Get lost!

"Girl, you must be starving, it's hot, eat up quickly." Ye Wuhuan carefully placed dishes for Xiao Yuge.

Even though Xiao Yuge was hungry, she didn't care about being graceful or not. She rolled up her sleeves and started eating with gusto.

Seeing her so unrestrained, Ye Wuhuan's smile deepened. Everyone said that officials' daughters were all mannered and reserved, even eating and drinking with a pretense of modesty, and speaking in a coy and hesitant way. But this genuine and unpretentious girl was undoubtedly more to his liking.

Having eaten almost enough, Xiao Yuge only then noticed the wine beside her. She picked it up, shook it, and sniffed it. "Wow, it smells so good, it must taste great. I'll try a sip."

"Girl! That wine..." Ye Wuhuan wanted to stop her, but it was too late, because Xiao Yuge had already taken a large gulp.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" The wine was mellow and smooth, a good drink indeed, but the spicy aftertaste left Xiao Yuge coughing fitfully.

>

"Hey girl, are you alright" Ye Wuhuan didn't have time to worry about anything else. He got up and walked to her side, gently patted her back, and even thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea.

>

"It's okay, it's just spicy..." Xiao Yuge quickly took a sip of tea, but her throat still felt burning. She didn't expect that such fragrant wine would be so strong.

"You silly girl, this wine is strong, you can't drink it like that..." He always sipped it in small amounts, but this girl just gulped it down in one big mouthful. Oh dear, this is going to be trouble!one again 。Xiao Yu's song was also afraid that Ming Yang would suddenly barge in, instinctively burying her face into Qian Tingxuan's chest. Her small face was red like something. She hit him lightly...
