Rural Female Detective - Chapter 158 Song Yao's Calculation

When Song Yao and Chu Xing returned to Mingyue Gelou, Chu Tao and Mingyue were anxiously waiting at the door.

Seeing that the two of them were relieved, Song Yao then asked: “Is there any news from Li Chang?”

She wanted to take a hot bath, so Chu Xing followed her towards the hot spring at the back.

Chu Xing asked as she walked: “Miss, what is the evidence you told Liu Fu about?”

Song Yao paused, then continued: “I’m just asking, because I really can’t figure out where there’s evidence, and you and the Right Minister …”

Song Yao waved her hand and said: “You actually believe such lies?”

Chu Xing finally said after a long while, “Ah?”

Song Yao stretched her body and entered the hot spring house. Chu Xing followed him in and asked worriedly: Are you not afraid of them finding out?

Song Yao said: “What did you discover? Did you discover that what I said was false? ”

Chu Xing nodded, thought for a while and said: “Liu Fu is someone who cares about the Jin Concubine, who knows if the Seventh Prince would even know about it. Jin Concubine’s methods are not simple, I am afraid … ”

Song Yao took off her clothes and stepped into the hot spring. Right now, this matter was related to her entire family. She would rather be cautious than make any mistakes, wouldn’t she? It’s impossible for her not to know why the emperor doted on her, and to understand how fearful the emperor’s opponents were of the people with military power. She used to be a pampered and proud person, but now she’s already afraid of being misled. After all, the palace’s current situation isn’t as chaotic as the small skirmishes in the outside world.

Chu Xing walked over to wipe her back, and said while she did so: “Although lady’s words are reasonable, I have a feeling that you are gambling.”

“In life, choice is gambling. How can there not be risks and obstacles? This is normal.” Song Yao tilted her head and looked at her, “Don’t worry …”

Chu Xing hesitated for a moment, then said: “I’m afraid you have offended the Right Premier again, I’m afraid…”

“Relax, Jin Concubine does not need to find trouble with the Right Prime Minister, if we do not say it, how would the Right Prime Minister know about it? At most, the Grand Preceptor will target the Right Premier, but as far as I know, the Right Premier has always been taking revenge on the court.

Chu Xing nodded, and said hesitantly: “That’s true, but, do you think the Seventh Prince will make the appointment?”

Song Yao replied: “Of course.”

“Are you that sure?” she asked.

Song Yao said: “If I’m not wrong, and if news can reach him, I think he will come.”

Chu Xing nodded and sighed.

Song Yao turned her head and looked at her, “Don’t worry, rest well. There will be a conclusion to this matter very soon.”

“Yes.” Chu Xing answered, she seemed to have thought of something and asked: “Is there any news from Jiang Feng?”

Chu Xing shook her head and said, “There’s no one here today from the marquis’ residence.

Song Yao leaned on the side of the pool and sighed in relief, “Looks like the Hou Mansion is letting him live quite comfortably.”

Chu Xing covered her mouth and laughed: “I think Master Hou is going to be angry.”

Song Yao said: “It can’t be, there are so many empty houses in his residence.”

Chu Xing replied: “I was just joking, but I don’t think the people from the Seventh Prince’s residence would’ve thought that Jiang Feng was in the manor right now?”

Song Yao said: “That is not necessarily true, my identity is exposed, they could easily figure out the relationship between me and the Hou Mansion with a little investigation, but I am afraid they do not have the mood to investigate where Jiang Feng is hiding, after all, the evidence I am giving them, is with the Right Premier.”

“Then miss, do you think the Jin Concubine will send someone to negotiate with the Right Premier?”

Song Yao said: “Unless she is stupid, and is fine. If she went to look for the Right Minister, wouldn’t there be no money left in this place? Is she that stupid? ”

Chu Xing nodded, “That’s true.”

Song Yao said: “Alright, today you are tired, shocked and frightened. Quickly go and rest, don’t worry.”

Chu Xing acknowledged her presence and retreated.

The more half-truths, the better, she thought as she soaked in the hot spring. She wasn’t sure if they would dare to act rashly, even though it seemed to them like a small matter, a family, a human life.

However, if this matter were to reach the Right Premier, even if it were a small matter, the Emperor would most likely make a big fuss and give the most serious punishment.

If Jin Concubine was smart, she should know that it was best for things to not get out of hand. The Right Premier had always been smart, so she definitely would not cause trouble herself.

Like this, even if this matter could be resolved peacefully, the Right Premier wouldn’t let them off the hook that easily. It would be better to shut them up and let the matter rest.

Taking a step back, even if Jin Concubine went to look for the Right Premier, she would still not know anything about it. Once they opened their mouths, this matter would become a matter of the court, where the Right Prime Minister would only acknowledge logic and only talk about the overall situation.

The sandpiper clams competed, and the fisherman benefited from it.

Song Yao laid at the side of the pond, if she were to come to her right side to reason with her, there would be someone else anyways. If he was not unreasonable, there would be room for discussion.

Thinking to this point, Song Yao let out a long breath, and slowly relaxed.

The next day, Song Yao arrived at breakfast time. There was another person following behind him, and he was dressed like a servant, but it was Jiang Feng.

No, he should be called Shen Hanshan.

As soon as he entered the room, he asked nervously, “How is it, is there any news of your daughter?”

Song Yao said: “There’s no news from Li Chang, so he should be fine.”

Shen Hanshan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at her: “How are you guys? Is there anything wrong? ”

Song Yao said: “Don’t worry, it’s fine. “It’s almost done now, it’ll be up to the Seventh Prince to decide.”

Shen Hanshan was a little flustered, he sat there shaking non-stop, and only after a while did he say: “I actually don’t have any thoughts, and have never thought of asking for justice, or asking for an explanation. I’m even afraid of going against them.”

Song Yao pursed her lips and looked at him. From his actions, she could completely see the heavy helplessness and fear she had.

Thinking about it, his parents had died a horrible death in front of him, and his sister’s whereabouts were unknown.

“I just …” He hesitated before saying, “I just want to go back to my sister. I have only one relative left. I can’t let her …”

Song Yao patted his shoulder and said: “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get your sister back.”
