Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

743 Where Are They?

Zhou Zhi only said, “Be careful.”

Su Xiaolu returned to the Bamboo Garden in the mansion. Everything was normal. No one had come in.

The two maidservants who were unwilling to serve her had been outside and had never thought of coming in.

Su Xiaolu saw that it was about time and pretended to take an afternoon nap.

She opened the door and said to the two maidservants, “I want to walk around the residence.”

The two maidservants were very unwilling. “Miss, please don’t wander around. Young Master will be unhappy if he finds out.”

They didn’t want to serve her, so they simply used Wang Jiang as an excuse.

Su Xiaolu was stunned for a moment and seemed to give up on the idea.

The two maidservants heaved a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, Su Xiaolu said, “That’s right. I should ask Young Master Wang. After all, this is his house.”

The two maidservants: “…”

“Don’t. Young Master is very busy. It’s better not to disturb him. If you want to take a walk, let’s take a walk.”

The maidservant in green hurriedly said. Wang Jiang was very gentle to his maidservants, but when he was heartless, he would sell them easily.

As servants, their lives might not be as good as this place. They all wanted to be doted on by Wang Jiang one day. As long as they became his women, they did not have to worry about being sold.

Wang Jiang had instructed them to serve Xiaolu well. They were unwilling to serve her, but they definitely did not dare to cause trouble in front of Wang Jiang.

Therefore, the maidservants did not dare to do anything that would make Wang Jiang unhappy.

Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and innocently. “Thank you.”

These two maidservants were here to serve her on the surface, but they were actually spies.

After leaving the Bamboo Garden, Su Xiaolu began to walk around aimlessly. The mansion was very big. There were rockeries, gardens, and flower lakes.

Su Xiaolu opened her eyes and praised. From time to time, she would mutter softly, “If only she could live here too.”

Apart from the main courtyard, Su Xiaolu walked through the entire residence and looked around. It was almost dark before she returned to Bamboo Garden.

Not long after she returned, the maidservant in blue remained to serve her. The other maidservant went out for meal delivery.

Su Xiaolu asked in confusion, “What’s a meal delivery?”

The maidservant explained that it meant that the family was eating.

She rolled her eyes behind her back. This country bumpkin doesn’t know anything. If not for her good looks, Young Master wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her.

Su Xiaolu waited quietly. Not long after, Wang Jiang arrived with a smile.

“Miss Xiaolu, I’m sorry. I was too busy in the afternoon and didn’t take care of you. Are you used to it? You haven’t eaten yet, right? I haven’t either. I’ll eat with you.”

Wang Jiang was very polite. He sat down and apologized first before gently saying that they should eat together.

Su Xiaolu looked happy and said shyly, “Okay, thank you, Young Master Wang.”

The food was served. It was very sumptuous.

Wang Jiang looked at Su Xiaolu in satisfaction.

Su Xiaolu asked in surprise, as if she had never seen the world, “There’s so much. Can we eat it all? I-I don’t have money. There’s nothing to repay Young Master Wang. I’ve never eaten these things…”

Wang Jiang smiled gently and picked up some food for Su Xiaolu. “Miss Xiaolu, eat more.”

Su Xiaolu ate slowly.

As she tasted it carefully, she revealed her inexperience. She ate for a long time and ate a lot.

Wang Jiang saw it all.

After dinner, Wang Jiang suggested accompanying Su Xiaolu for a walk to digest her food.

Su Xiaolu naturally did not refuse.

Wang Jiang began to get information from her. Su Xiaolu casually made up a story. An orphan daughter with dead parents had been taken fancy by a bully, who took her household register as a threat. It was not easy for her to escape. She thought about how she had heard from her mother in the past that she had a distant relative in Qinghai, so she wanted to join them.

She randomly made up some names for the relatives. They were relatives four or five generations apart. She didn’t know where they lived either. She just looked at the old house and asked around.

After chatting for a while, Su Xiaolu seemed to have revealed everything.

Wang Jiang was surprised and sympathetic. He kindly told Su Xiaolu that she could rest well now. He would help her find out the whereabouts of her distant relatives.

After taking a walk and returning to the Bamboo Garden, Wang Jiang instructed the maidservants to take good care of Su Xiaolu before leaving.

Su Xiaolu washed up and went to bed. The maidservants were outside and did not need to enter the inner room. They could not ask for more.

Su Xiaolu was still awake, but the two maidservants outside were already asleep.

When Su Xiaolu came out, she pressed their sleeping acupoints to make them sleep even more soundly.

She took advantage of the night to search Wang Jiang’s study.

Wang Jiang definitely had a ledger in his business. Every sea area was clearly marked. She only needed to confirm if the sea area she bought was under Wang Jiang’s control.

After confirming this, she could ask about An Lie’s whereabouts.

She had walked through the entire residence today and wanted to go in and take a look at every place she went.

The maidservants did not stop her from entering some. If she could not go in, the maidservants would tell her not to enter. Su Xiaolu would ask where they were.

So Su Xiaolu remembered the location of the study.

After sneaking into the study, Su Xiaolu began to search.

Not long after, she found the ledger. It recorded in detail the spiritual herbs sent to the capital. In the past year or so, they had not given much. Su Xiaolu did not care if it was much. The sea was dangerous. She hoped that An Lie would be careful.

The sea area recorded was her sea area, but now it was in Wang Jiang’s hands. Su Xiaolu’s expression darkened.

She gently reset the ledger and left the study.

She did not act rashly. Before she investigated, Su Xiaolu did not want to alert the enemy.

Su Xiaolu returned to the courtyard. Gui You and Old Wu were still waiting for her.

Old Wu spoke first. “Girl, we’ve also found some information. Not long after we left, your eldest disciple suffered. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive. There’s not much information.”

Su Xiaolu’s eyes turned red. “If he’s dead, I’ll kill the person who harmed him and avenge him.”

It was an accident that she took An Lie in as her disciple. It could not be said that they had a deep master-disciple relationship, but it was more of a friendship. Her friend had been killed, so she naturally had to avenge him.

“I found out that the ledger is in Wang Jiang’s hands. For the past year, he has been the one sending divine medicine to the capital.”

She had even received a letter from An Lie. Now that An Lie’s family was nowhere to be seen, that letter was probably faked.

“This Wang Jiang is someone we met in Yulin previously. I wonder why he’s here.”

Su Xiaolu held back her anger.

Gui You frowned. “Is Wang Jiang related to Li Yu?”

“Li Yu is ruthless. I’m afraid An Lie is already doomed.”

Old Wu sighed. He wanted to comfort Su Xiaolu, but he didn’t know how.

“Let’s go and ask him now. There are thousands of ways to torture people. We’re not afraid that he won’t tell us.”

Gui You’s expression was cold. Since the clues were directed at Wang Jiang, there was no need to wait. He could just ask directly. He had plenty of methods. He was not afraid that he would not say anything.

Old Wu nodded too. “Let’s go. It’s better to be early than late.”

It was unknown if An Lie was dead or alive. The earlier they found out his whereabouts, the better. If he was still alive, it would be easier to save him. If he was gone, he would have to pay with blood. It was impossible for him to live another day.
