Li Yaoyao eavesdropped outside the window. When he heard Xue Fanxin say that there were 100,000 gold taels, he was so shocked that his jaw almost came off. His heart was turbulent, and he expected those 100,000 taels of gold to be his.
He had not expected the Ninth Imperial Uncle to be so kind to Xue Fanxin that he had easily offered his 100,000 gold taels. Even if he sold the entire Duke's Residence, he wouldn't be able to exchange that much money.
This stupid and idiot Xue Fanxin was very lucky. He had even gotten help from the Ninth Empire's Uncle despite being extremely useless. Could it be that the Ninth Imperial Uncle is blind? Didn't he realize that he was even more outstanding than Xue Fanxin?
Li Yaoyao was angry, but she did not dare to make a sound and continued to eavesdrop.
Xue Fanxin had already sensed that something was amiss outside the window. He could guess who was eavesdropping. However, he did not mind and continued to talk serious business with Xue Batian. “Grandfather, Emperor Nanling really can't stand the Xue family anymore. If anything were to happen at this time, Emperor Nanling would definitely send the Xue family army into the vanguard to die. Do you have the heart to see your brothers, who have risked their lives with you, end up in such circumstances? Even if there was no war, Emperor Nanling would use other means to get rid of the Xue.” family army
“Xin'er small, I understand everything you say. Actually, I have long wanted to disperse the Xue family army and let them go looking for another life. But I didn't want them to leave empty-handed, so I kept wasting time. I wasn't expecting..”
He was the one who raised the Xue family army. There was no way he could make them leave without giving them anything.
Moreover, with Emperor Nanling treating him like this, he no longer wanted to serve that person. He might as well resign himself and live a carefree life.
But he really has no money!
“Grandfather, I will immediately ask the bank to prepare the silver. When the time comes, I will share everything and give some money to the soldiers of the Xue family. At the same time, I want to leave a thousand elites.” Xue Fanxin did not say it too clearly, because there are some things that cannot be revealed to too many people.
Even if Xue Fanxin did not say it, Xue Batian understood. He nodded and said, “Good boy, you are an adult. I'm gonna hand this to you. After the Xue family army is disbanded, I will write a letter and resign from my position. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Imperial Family of Nanling Kingdom.”
He had risked his life to help Emperor Nanling build his kingdom, but all he got was distrust. How could he serve an ungrateful person?
At that time, he was blind. He had chosen to support Emperor Nanling as emperor. What a big mistake.
“Grandfather, don't worry. I'll solve this problem properly. When silver is here, I will distribute it and let the Xue family troops go in groups.”
Emperor Nanling had always been afraid of the Xue family army. If he had no conscience, he might not even have released the Xue family army that had been disbanded. Therefore, for security reasons, it was best to let the Xue family's forces go in groups.
As long as the Xue family troops were scattered everywhere, it would be difficult for Emperor Nanling to eliminate them.
Li Yaoyao heard many things outside the window, but she did not care about the Xue family army or Emperor Nanling. He only wanted to hear about the golden wheel. However, after listening for a long time, he got nothing. Afraid of being discovered, he had no choice but to leave first.
A black-clothed person was waiting for him in his room. Seeing Li Yaoyao return, he immediately flew her over and asked coldly, "Where is the item I want?"
"I've been looking for him, but I didn't find the golden wheel, so...."
"So you're a useless person?"
"No no no no. I will definitely think of a way to help you find that golden wheel. These days, I wonder about the various actions of Xue Fanxin and Xue Batian. The only strange thing was that some time ago, Xue Fanxin took three blank books from the study. From the waiter who cleaned it up that day, Xue Fanxin seemed to have seen something from the three blank books.”
"Three books are empty?" The black-clothed person pondered for a moment, then ordered Li Yaoyao, "Find those three blank books for me immediately."
"Yes.." To live, Li Yaoyao did not care what she had to do and simply nodded.
Li Yaoyao received a new mission from the black-clothed person. After adjusting his condition, he first asked about Xue Fanxin's whereabouts. Knowing that he was accompanying Xue Batian, he secretly entered Xue Fanxin's room and ransacked her again.
It's just that his luck was a little bad this time. He had just started looking when Jasmine bumped into him.
Now that the matter was revealed, Li Yaoyao hoped to kill Jasmine. However, he would definitely be expelled from the Duke's Residence.
The task that the black-clothed person gave was not finished yet. He could not leave the Dukes Residence, so he could only keep Jasmine for now.
“Jasmine, I heard Cousin took three blank books from the study and was curious, so I wanted to borrow them to take a look. Jasmine, you are Cousin's personal servant. You must know where the three books were put, right? Can you show it to me?”
“How could a servant like me casually make a decision about Young Miss's belongings? Miss Li, if you want to borrow a book, then borrow it. No need to be sneaky, right? Wait for Young Miss to return. As long as Young Miss agrees, you can naturally see the book.”
"You…"
"Miss Li, if you still refuse to leave Miss's room, I will ask for help."
"You are cruel," said Li Yaoyao with gritted teeth. He held the killing intent in his heart and left angrily.
Based on his current relationship with Xue Fanxin, he would definitely not lend her the book. He must find another chance to steal three blank books.
Not long after Li Yaoyao left, Xue Fanxin returned. Jasmine quickly reported Li Yaoyao's every move honestly.
“You mean Li Yaoyao came to my room to look for those three blank books?” Xue Fanxin had always known that Li Yaoyao was looking for something in the Duke's Residence, but she had no idea what she was looking for. Learning about his intentions now, he had an idea.
Presumably, Li Yaoyao was looking for the Heaven Spirit Reverse Wheel. However, even his grandfather did not know about the Heaven Spirit Reverse Wheel. How did Li Yaoyao know?
Li Yaoyao must have interacted with someone mysterious.
“Jasmine, immediately prepare three blank books for me. Also, give me these things.” Xue Fanxin gave Jasmine a list of many things.
Jasmine looked at the list and asked puzzledly, "Miss, why do you want calcium hydroxide and sulfur?"
"To carry out my deception plan."
"Aah?"
“Do not ask much. Quickly prepare these things for me. Also, give me three blank books.”
"Yes." Yeah." Jasmine did not ask further. He did as Xue Fanxin asked and returned with these items in less than half a day.
Xue Fanxin spent the entire night fiddling with over ten packages of explosives. He chose a relatively distant place in the Duke's Residence and buried them in a small room filled with groceries.
Jasmine had been following Xue Fanxin the entire time and paying attention to her actions, but she was unable to understand anything. "Miss, what are you really doing?"
"Confuse someone!" Xue Fanxin did not say it clearly. After burying the explosive package, he clapped his hands and left.
As soon as he exited the storage room, he saw Li Yaoyao eavesdropping nearby and sneering in her heart.
He was originally worried about how to trap Li Yaoyao without anyone noticing.. Unexpectedly, Li Yaoyao delivered herself to her doorstep. God is on his side!
