Chapter 75 - 75 75 Returning from Inspection_1
?Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Returning from Inspection_1 Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Returning from Inspection_1 Xiao Hongtao’s expression darkened when he heard the words, “Chenchen, has something happened?”
“I heard from Sister Ke that ever since Aunty Xiao took office here, Old Lady Xiao hasn’t arranged for anyone to come over. Now, suddenly, she’s sending people again, and they’re close nieces and distant relatives. If you tell me Old Lady Xiao just wants to separate Uncle Xiao and Aunty Xiao with the same old tricks, I’d never believe it! What is Old Lady Xiao really scheming?” Yang Mengchen said gravely, “I’ve been thinking it over, and the only thing I can think of is Prince Chen!”
With his quick wits, Xiao Hongtao immediately caught on, and his eyes turned deep and fierce, “Chenchen means, someone has secretly informed Old Lady Xiao about my close relationship with Prince Chen, so she wants to use me to gain benefits, or even…”
He didn’t finish his sentence because he suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had already secretly pledged allegiance to that prince, who was at odds with Prince Chen like fire and water. Young Master Hua was still here for treatment, Prince Chen would surely come by often, and if those people were plotting assassinations in secret, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this thought, Xiao Hongtao broke out in a cold sweat.
“Is there any better explanation?” Yang Mengchen did not expose Xiao Hongtao’s thoughts, “If no one had leaked information, Madam Yu and Madam Fang wouldn’t have shown up just as we were entering the inner courtyard. If Uncle Xiao doesn’t straighten out the County Office quickly, it’s not only Aunty Xiao who is at risk, but every move we make is also under the enemy’s watchful eye, which is extremely dangerous.”
Sister Ke and Butler Xiao Yutang both knelt in front of Xiao Hongtao, “This old servant has failed in my duties, please punish me, Master!”
One was the head butler, and the other managed the inner courtyard, yet they had failed to detect Old Lady Xiao’s spies within the house, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
