For so many years, although he was known as a playboy, in reality, he had been secretly investigating the situation of these clans for his elder brother.
Apart from those hidden clans and a few extremely exclusive clans, although he did not know the situation of the other clans very well, he would still pay attention to some people that he should pay attention to on behalf of his elder brother.
For example, the real rulers of these clans and their heirs.
At least, he had to familiarize himself with some of the basic situations of these people.
There was also a type of people that he had to pay attention to.
That was the confidants of these people, or those who were more trusted by them and could speak to them.
And among the people that this maid came into contact with, there were quite a few of them who were like this.
If all of this was a coincidence, then based on his understanding of those people, they did not seem to be the kind of people who would easily give up after being hit.
However, they turned a blind eye to the maid's behavior. Even after being hit, they just left on their own without a word or two of quarrel.
There must be something wrong with this abnormality. Just like this, Yue Zhengzitan quietly followed behind the maid and watched her scam around the streets for a while before entering an inconspicuous grocery store.
After a while, the maid walked out of the grocery store and carried some things in her hands.
From the looks of it, it really did not seem like she was here to buy things.
Yue Zhengzitan called someone over and asked him to follow the maid closely. He wanted to see who else he would come into contact with when he returned. He just thought for a while and then, while there was no one around, he pretended to be nonchalant and entered the grocery store.
After he entered, the boss was very enthusiastic to welcome him.
After all, with the current situation of Yuehu City, most people would rather stay at home than go out and cause trouble.
This boss was also a bitter person. He originally wanted to take advantage of the clan meeting to make a fortune, but who knew that he would lose so much that even his coffin was about to be filled.
Yue Zhengzitan's eyes were like lightning as he examined the boss of the grocery store.
However, other than eagerness, there was no other emotion in the other party's eyes, so he temporarily ruled out the connection between the other party and the maid.
Then, he skillfully talked to the boss. In the end, he spent almost five taels of silver to coax the boss into telling him everything he knew.
"Young Master really has a good eye. The good things here are all transported from outside. To tell you the truth, the young lady who just left came to our house to buy embroidery thread. She has come here four or five times in the past few days. It can be seen that the things here are really good!"
The boss didn't forget to promote his products while boasting.
Yue Zhengzitan calmly changed the topic to the girl just now. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know which family's Madam or Miss is so leisurely and carefree. The outside is already in such a mess, yet she still has the leisure to do embroidery."
"Tch, that's true. Although the previous family gatherings were also lively, they weren't as full of twists and turns as this year. Speaking of which, I was also a little curious. Other people would only buy some food, but that girl always bought things like needles and thread. Ay, just by looking at that girl's generosity, I can tell she's from a big family, that's why she doesn't have to worry. "
How could I face him? There were more wrinkles on his worried face.
He didn't know how he was going to explain to the tigress at home when he returned.
"I won't disturb the shopkeeper anymore. Goodbye."
Yue Zhengzitan got the information he wanted and threw another ten taels on the counter. It was considered as a reward for the boss's hard work.
Soon, he met up with his subordinates.
"Second Young Master, the woman you asked me to follow didn't come into contact with anyone along the way. However, before she entered the door, she threw a bundle of yellow thread."
"Where is that thread? Did you pick it up?" Yue Zhengzitan asked.
"We, we wanted to pick it up, but who knew that someone would snatch it first. We were afraid that someone would find out, so we retreated."
"But I have already sent someone to follow the person who picked up the thread. If there's any news, he will definitely come back to report."
As expected!
Yue Zhengzitan's brows furrowed tightly.
He knew that there must be something fishy going on.
But when he thought of the figure he saw in the Zhao family today, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
If Aunt Qing had taken the place of their mother and rescued the two brothers from the swamp, then the person he saw just now was more like a sister.
The relationship between the two brothers and the person he saw just now was more like that of a real sister.
At least in his opinion, Yao Shilin was like a real sister who cared for them and loved them.
If it wasn't for the fact that Sister Shilin married so far away, he would have definitely gone to visit her. But he didn't expect that they would meet again under such circumstances.
And why was Sister Shilin related to the Zhao family?
This made Yue Zhengzitan puzzled no matter how hard he thought about it.
At the same time, he didn't want to associate Sister Shilin, who he regarded as his real sister since he was young, with those crafty plots and schemes.
But Yue Zhengzitan wasn't the immature youth he used to be. After Sister Shilin appeared, although he was excited, he didn't act rashly.
He had to go back and ask his big brother about this.
But he didn't expect that before he could see his big brother, he would receive news about Sister Shilin.
"Second Young Master, someone sent this over just now. He said that an old friend wants to see you."
Yue Zhengzitan was stopped by his subordinates just as he was about to go upstairs. He looked at the pouch that his subordinate brought over. The orchid that had faded was indeed very familiar to him.
At this moment, Yue Zhengzitan didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he was even more confused about Sister Shilin.
He held the pouch tightly and asked in a low voice, "Where is she?"
"In the house where we stayed before. Rest assured, Second Young Master, both sides have been set up. No one will find this place."
His subordinates were all loyal and devoted. Naturally, he wouldn't suspect that someone leaked the secret.
In other words, Sister Shilin didn't know about his big brother's news. She was only here for him.
Could it be that she was looking for him just to catch up?
Thinking of this, Yue Zhengzitan's suspicion was slightly settled.
"Alright, I'll go over now. Guard this place and don't let anyone come near. "
"Yes."
Yue Zhengzitan finally held the pouch and went to see this old friend.
In the evening, after dinner, Lin Mengya, who was forced to go out for a walk by her husband, happened to bump into Yue Zhengzitan, who was full of worries.
Lin Mengya called out to him a few times. Unexpectedly, he didn't respond at all, as if he had lost his soul.
Finally, she had to pat his shoulder and raised her voice, "Hey! Come back! "
Who would have thought that it would give him a scare?
The man suddenly froze. He looked at Lin Fan in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
"I say, did you bump into something unclean outside?"
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yue Zhengzitan's eyes.
Although she was a staunch materialist, she had really experienced the transmigration of her soul. So, what else couldn't happen?
Maybe there was, right?
But Yue Zhengzitan immediately refuted, "No, I didn't bump into anything unclean. I just … Oh, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. What do you want to say? "
"I didn't say anything. Oh yes, I wanted to ask if you could help me contact Wei Qingjiang. After all, we're leaving tomorrow. If he wants us to bring something to his family, he should bring it over as soon as possible so that he doesn't miss it."
Originally, she didn't want to trouble Yue Zhengzitan with this matter.
But her husband said that, according to the current situation, among them, only Yue Zhengzitan's men would not attract others' attention.
Even if they were caught, they could directly blame it on finding Yue Zhengzitan and Xiu Xiu.
If it was their men, once they found out that a stranger had sneaked in, it would be troublesome.
And this was not a small matter, because it was related to Wei Qingjiang's arrangement.
Therefore, she thought of asking Yue Zhengzitan for help.
Unexpectedly, this man not only ignored her for a long time, but also looked lost, which was really strange.
"Oh, okay, I'll help you ask. Wait a minute."
While speaking, Yue Zhengzitan turned around and was about to leave.
But Lin Mengya's sharp eyes found that there was a stain on his back.
"Wait."
She stopped Yue Zhengzitan.
The latter immediately didn't understand and looked back at her in confusion. As a result, she just touched a spot on his back.
"You are so old, why don't you change your clothes when they are dirty?" She said with a smile.
Yue Zhengzitan also smiled, "Maybe I didn't see it when I went out, it doesn't matter."
But Lin Mengya smelled a faint fragrance.
She subconsciously looked for the source of the fragrance, only to find that it might come from her fingertips.
She twisted her fingers and smelled it, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her fingertips.
Hmm? How come there is more?
Lin Mengya found that the fragrance lasted quite long.
But her sense of smell was very keen.
She didn't smell it when Cola Zhengzitan came back.
"What kind of perfume is used to make your clothes? How can it last so long?"
Lin Mengya just asked casually.
After all, which girl didn't want to smell good all over?
Especially her.
Because she was surrounded by all kinds of herbs every day, she couldn't smell too strong, but she didn't want to be full of the smell of herbs.
Wherever she went, she looked like an oversized ginseng.
If such a quiet smell, if it was stronger, the smell would not be suffocating.
She wanted to ask, but Yue Zhengzitan shook his head.
"Maybe it's the smell of honey locust. Besides, I'm a man, how can I use perfume all day?"
Even if he usually had the idea, it was good enough to keep clean and fresh after such a struggle. How could he waste time and effort to do these fancy things?
"Then where did your smell come from? Is it the smell of flowers and trees? "
Lin Mengya asked curiously.
