The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2920: Chapter 2920: Darkness Beneath the Lamp (Part 4)

”Yes.” Yang Ruxin nodded slightly, glancing at the three baskets, ”These vegetables are quite fresh.”

The butler Wu’s face changed slightly, signaled to the carriage driver with a look, and then laughed twice, ”I thought the vegetables were good, which is why I ordered them. The main family is moving in soon, so I prepared them for them.”

The driver quickly led the ox cart away from the front door to the back door.

Yang Ruxin nodded, ”Uncle Butler has a good eye. I come from a farming background and can tell at a glance that these vegetables were grown with care.”

”Madam really knows how to joke.”

”I’m a village girl, what’s so funny about that?”

The butler Wu laughed awkwardly, ”I won’t delay madam any longer.” Saying that, he bowed slightly.

Just then, two carriages arrived.

The butler Wu hurried over.

Yang Ruxin glanced over, an elderly man got off the first carriage, and a couple got off the second one.

However, because they were facing away, their features weren’t clear.

Once they entered the gate, she turned to leave Santong Lanes.

”Madam, is there something off about him?” Du Juan, who had followed Yang Ruxin for many years and naturally understood her thoughts, asked, knowing from her expression that the butler was suspicious.

”It’s not just the butler.” Yang Ruxin smiled.

”You mean the new family that moved in is also suspicious?” Du Juan frowned.

Yang Ruxin nodded, ”Du Juan, what is the surname of your new neighbors?”

”I don’t know.” Du Juan frowned slightly, ”I only heard from the Du butler that the butler’s surname is Wu.”

”Then let’s have the Du butler look into it further.” Yang Ruxin exhaled, a certain thought forming in her mind.

Du Juan quickly instructed Xiangru to go inform the Du butler.

The Du butler was fast in his investigation. By the time Yang Ruxin and Du Juan returned from Anxin Hall, they already knew that the main family’s surname was Cui, and they were in business. Their ancestral home is in Quanzhou, but they later moved to Shu Land for business. Now that the elderly patriarch is getting old, he’s thinking of returning to his hometown to retire. Unfortunately, no one was left in the family, so they bought a new house.

The Cui Family.

In a room in the backyard, the Saint Lord lay on a soft bed as the butler Wu was disinfecting and bandaging his leg.

”Where is your Young Master?” The Saint Lord asked after his wound was bandaged, raising his eyes towards the butler Wu. ”Why did he arrange for me to be here?” Earlier, when he was in the basket, he nearly overturned the cabbages to fight Yang Ruxin, but he’d managed to suppress his anger with great effort.

”The Young Master said that there’s a saying in the Central Plains: the most dangerous place is also the safest place.” Butler Wu smiled, ”There’s also a saying about it being blind under the light.”

The Saint Lord exhaled and then closed his eyes, giving his tacit approval.

Only then did the butler Wu leave the room, instructing those at the door to watch carefully.

Gu Qingheng had also gone out early in the morning and only returned at night.

”I figure we have to stay for another two days.” Yang Ruxin expressed her suspicion, ”Even though those three baskets were well concealed, you know I’m very sensitive to smells—I caught a whiff of blood.”

”So, the Saint Lord is injured?” Gu Qingheng’s eyes flickered.

”It’s very likely.” Yang Ruxin nodded, ”However, we need to investigate a bit more.”

A quarter of an hour later, two dark figures emerged from the Du Family and climbed onto the roof of the neighboring Cui Family house.
