The question was, where did this housekeeper of the Hu Residence come from?
Selling exam questions had nothing to do with him for more than ten years. Why were there two people in the Hu Residence doing the same thing this year? Was Master Hu so short of money that he went crazy?
Lou Xiaoyi's first thought was that this was a trap! It was a trap for Aunt Cai Huan, and also a trap for Lou Province!
Who was scheming behind the scenes? He did not know! On the surface, it was Lu Buping from the Hu Residence, but it might not be the truth. Once the matter was exposed, Master Hu would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had a hundred mouths.
Putting aside who was the culprit, it was definitely not a poor scholar like Wushuang. He did not have the ability, even if his future father-in-law was involved! Lan Yu County Magistrate was just a small county under Pu City. He could not extend his reach that far!
The most important thing now was how to stop this possible conspiracy against Lou Province?
What made him depressed was that he could not tell his mother about this matter. Because from a subjective point of view, he and Aunt Cai Huan both had the subjective desire to cheat!
He could only solve it himself!
Wasn't it just cheating? Why did it become so complicated? Would it be because of this matter that Li San's real disclosure was delayed?
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. This cultivation had created a pile of troubles in the mortal world. Since he was in the situation, it was impossible to stay out of it.
The only good news was that he knew the location of the handover, Tongfu Opera House. He also knew the specific time. It would be the third day or the second day before the exam. It would not be later.
Time passed quietly. Lou Xiaoyi went out again to buy some things and investigate the terrain. He needed to be more careful. This time, it was different from the spring festival. He could not fail.
In fact, he could just find a chance to talk to Aunt Cai Huan openly and not let her continue. However, doing so would not be clean.
What if Lu Buping happened to get such an opportunity and wanted to make a fortune? If the business failed, he would blame Aunt Cai Huan for not keeping her promise. If he exposed this matter again, although there was no direct evidence, gossip was a fearful thing. It would not be good for Lou Province.
If Lu Buping was indeed digging a hole, then who was behind it? He had to be clear about this. He couldn't be so unclear. He might have dodged it this time, but what about the next time?
Therefore, they needed to see the real deal! At the very least, he had to let this schemer know the attitude of Lou Province!
He felt a surge of emotions. This was the first time he was a hero in a busy city. Although he was a cultivator and doing this was a bit of a bully, he did not have any psychological burden. After all, wasn't the purpose of learning skills just for this day? Wasn't it just to protect his family?
Unfortunately, his current ability was still a little weak. He could not be as calm as a real cultivator who could wave his hand and disperse the dark clouds.
Another three days passed. On this day, according to the usual practice, the questions had been stored in the database and there were no more changes.
Early in the morning, Lou Xiaoyi arrived at the courtyard of the storehouse where the miscellaneous items were stored. Old Cang, who was in charge of the storehouse, hurriedly greeted him. The little master was a rare guest here. This year, they wouldn't even see him once, so they had to serve him well.
Lou Xiaoyi waved his hand. "You go do your own thing. I'm here to look for some old toys. I don't need anyone to accompany me …"
This search took him half a day. Even his lunch was settled in the storehouse. Old Cang wanted to help, but he couldn't, because he didn't know what the little master was looking for!
Seeing that it was the middle of the night, the clear voice of a little maid came from the stable, which was only a wall away from the storehouse.
"Old Ma, prepare the carriage. Aunt Cai Huan will use it in half an hour!"
This was the purpose Lou Xiaoyi wanted to achieve. Separated by a wall, ordinary people couldn't hear the voice on the other side. However, he was different. His perception was already that of a cultivator's. No matter how far he was, he couldn't do it. However, a wall couldn't stop him!
It was very troublesome for a woman from a big family to travel. She had to prepare the carriage and the sedan, and she also had to dress up. This preparation was indispensable. It would not lose the identity of a big family. Therefore, Lou Xiaoyi could determine the time when Aunt Cai Huan would go out.
He still had more than half an hour, so he could make it in time.
After casually grabbing a few items from the storeroom, Lou Xiaoyi quickly returned to his study room and began to make the preparations that he had long thought of.
Makeup was very troublesome for ordinary people, but there was actually a trick to it. It didn't need to be earth-shattering and unrecognizable. It only needed to be changed in a few special places. As long as people weren't particularly familiar with you, they would only pay attention to the characteristics of your face. They wouldn't observe you as a whole. For example, put on a mustache, put a plaster on your temples, and put on a big mole …
After tidying up his face, he quickly took off all his clothes. He was naked, and then put on three robes, one white, one black, and one green. The weather was too hot, and the underwear was a little bloated. He hoped that there wouldn't be a third change of clothes. If that happened, he would have to run naked in Pu City.
The color of the clothes was also the focus of other people's memories.
He pasted two pieces of jade that he had carved yesterday on his legs. This was the magic that he was most proficient in now. It could save his life in times of danger.
He circulated the Qi Circulation Formula, and his body emitted a slight explosive sound. He was already half a head shorter. If he went out like this, even his own mother would have to take a long time to recognize him.
After everything was ready, he directly jumped from the study to the roof. The courtyard was quiet. Everyone knew that the little husband didn't like to be disturbed, so they were happy to take a nap in the house. No one was loitering in the courtyard.
His courtyard was on the side of Lou Province. There was a remote alley behind two rows of houses. This was the wealthy district of Pu City. There weren't any idle people, and there were no peddlers walking through the streets.
This was all within his expectations. It was the result of his observation over the past few days.
He quickly walked out of the alley. After crossing a street, there was a carriage shop that accepted goods and people. He found a carriage and jumped on it.
"Morning Wind Brothel, hurry!"
He threw down a piece of silver and didn't say anything else. This was what he had learned from watching spy movies in his previous life. This was the first time he used it, and he was quite good at it. He also knew that this might be superfluous, but he just wanted to be fresh. He had to do it perfectly.
Throughout the whole process, he operated his concealment to the extreme. He didn't forget that there were other cultivators in this world. If he used some special methods to track them, it would be difficult for a rookie like him to hide.
Therefore, the use of both cultivation methods and mortal means was to minimize the traces. If there was an impressive high-level cultivator in this city, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck. They couldn't do nothing just because there was such a possibility, right?
There were still a few streets away from Morning Wind Brothel. Lou Xiaoyi took off his black robe in the carriage and stuck two strands of beard on it. Then, he gently lifted the carriage curtain and jumped out. By doing this, the coachman wouldn't know where he got off.
He switched to another carriage, and this time, he went straight to Tongfu Opera House. When he got off the carriage at Tongfu, only an hour had passed. Aunt Cai Huan was dragging her feet, and there was still an hour's distance from him.
He glanced at the carriages outside Tongfu Opera House. A carriage with the Hu Mansion's symbol was among them. This was good news. He was most afraid that Lu Bumpy would come later than Aunt Caihuan, which would cause a lot of trouble.
