Chapter 801: First to Investigate
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the way to the village entrance in the carriage, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were afraid that something would happen to the two elderly, so they made sure the journey would be smooth before setting off.
The general idea was that they would be arranged to stay in an inn and were not allowed to mention anything about the Wei family. They were once servants of the Wei family and naturally could not mention the matter of them abandoning a child.
Even though Laicai and Xiuhua felt that it was very strange and they didn’t quite understand what was happening, they still agreed to the plan. They saw how Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were concerned about them and felt heartfelt.
The two children did not look like bad people nor did they look like they wanted to harm them. They just had to do as they were told.
Zhu Village was not far from town. After returning to Pingan Town, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arranged for the couple to stay in Quanping Inn.
The Shao family had just gotten Wei Zizhan to enter the palace and become the Crown Prince. No one would think that there was ironclad evidence that could prove that someone else was the Crown Prince in the Shao family’s contact point.
As long as they did as the old couple did as the kids said, they would be fine.
Shao Shuting had already informed the people of Quanping Inn in advance of the arrangements. Therefore, the people of Quanping Inn were extremely polite to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. When they saw that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan wanted to let a pair of distant relatives stay there, the people of Quanping Inn immediately cleaned up a good room for them to stay in.
They even hurriedly placed heaters in the room so that the couple could keep warm. They also helped to find a few winter clothes suitable for the elderly to wear.
The elderly couple did not expect this at all and were very uneasy with how they were being treated.
It was Jiang Yue and Xue Yan who assured them before they dared to sit down.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan wanted to give them money, but the people of Quanping Inn didn’t dare to take it. They waved their hands dismissively and laughed it off. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan assumed that Shao Shuting would blame them for taking the money, so they gave up.
The sky was about to turn dark. If they didn’t go back soon, even Sihu would start worrying about them. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan quickly said a few words to the elderly couple, telling them to tell the staff what they wanted to eat whenever they were hungry. They also asked the people in the inn to help them take care of the elderly couple. When everything was set, only then did they quickly leave Quanping Inn and return to the shop.
Of course, before returning to the shop, Jiang Yue quickly found an empty alley and entered the space. She quickly put on the two cotton coats that she had taken off earlier.
She immediately became chubby again, like a little penguin.
The next day, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went out again.
When they returned to the shop yesterday, it was already dark. When they went out today, Sihu told them to come back as early as possible before the sun came down, and they agreed.
He then hired a carriage for them to go to the county. The kids then about Sun Erhei and the others that were mentioned. After finding Sun Erhei and the others, the kids asked the same questions. What Sun Erhei and the others told them was consistent with what Grandpa Cai had said.
Sun Erhei and the others didn’t need to be protected. Without proof, no one would know that Sun Erhei and the others also knew about this matter.
The town and county had been investigated thoroughly. The whole journey was smooth sailing. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could easily guess that the reason why it was so smooth was that they were the first to investigate.
If someone else had already investigated first, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
When they returned to the rice noodle shop from the county, the sun was almost setting. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to go home. Instead, they told Sihu that they would go home tomorrow.
Sihu had no objections..
