Wait a minute!

Xue Yan was about the same age as Wei Zizhan, which was also about the same age as the Crown Prince… Could it be… Could Xue Yan be the Crown Prince?!

Fang Yimings eyelids began to twitch.

He quickly returned to the back of the house and called for a servant.

Regardless of whether Xue Yan was the Crown Prince or not, he had to inform Xue Yan about Zhongxi taking the books away. Xue Yan obviously had something important to do when he looked through this book, so he could not ruin Xue Yan’s business because of this. Unfortunately, he had official business to attend to, and Locust Village was a little far from the county. He could not personally go to Locust Village to tell Xue Yan about what happened.

Therefore, Fang Yiming quickly sent people to find Xue Yan. On the other side, Shao Zhongxi could already be seen riding his horse to Pingan Town’s Zhu Family Village.

Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin both had white horses and wore red clothes.

However, when they arrived at the Zhu Family Village, they were informed by the people of the Zhu Family Village that Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua had been taken away by people they knew for the New Year. They would not be back for the time being.

As for the whereabouts of the people that brought them away… no one in the village knew.

No one could tell when they would be back as well.

The clues were cut off just like that…

Shao Zhongxi’s expression turned cold. When he looked around, he realized that it was already turning dark. They could not just stay outside for long.

Fortunately, Zhu Village was not far from Pingan Town. Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin returned to Quanping Inn in Pingan Town to stay for a while before making any plans.

When the people of Quanping Inn saw Zhongxi again, they immediately arranged for them to stay in the finest room.

As usual, Shao Zhongxi went straight to the room he was given. When he passed by the second room, he heard a lot of laughter. It was obvious that there were people in the room across from him. He frowned slightly.

He didn’t like people living next door to him, the noise would be too distracting.

He didn’t ask them to immediately move. Instead, he waited until he entered the first room and sat down before he asked, “Why is there someone living in that room?”

“The New Year is coming,” the shopkeeper said hurriedly. “l didn’t know that you would come back again. Coincidentally, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue let a pair of distant relatives stay here. We didn’t dare to neglect them, so we arranged for them to stay in that room.”

Shao Zhongxi’s frown deepened. “Their distant relatives came here? Why didn’t they let them stay in their shop? There were plenty of rooms in their house.’

Originally, the rice noodle shop had been an inn with many rooms, and their new house and old house had empty rooms. This did not make sense.

“l dare not ask.” the shopkeeper said. He had always been one to follow orders. The General instructed them to be polite to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, and to help them in whatever way they could.

“Are they a couple?” Shao Zhongxi suddenly asked.

Qi Yin immediately understood why he asked and was naturally shocked by the connections.

However, the shopkeeper did not know why Shao Zhongxi asked this question.

He only replied truthfully, “They’re married to each other. They’re quite old. When they came, their clothes were in tatters. We didn’t expect Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to have such poor relatives.”

Shao Zhongxi thought of Zhu Laicai’s small house in Zhu Village and was hoping that this couple was Zhu Laicai and Zhu Xiuhua. He immediately asked, “When exactly did they move in?”

“A few days ago…” The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said in more detail, “It was on the fifteenth. When Xue Yan and Jiang Yue sent them here, the sky was almost dark..”
