Su Yunxiu wore a cold and beautiful face. She waved to several maids, motioning them to come closer.
"I've spent a fortune. Haven't you found out the identity and information of that woman yet?" Su Yunxiu's eyes were filled with malice. She no longer looked like the delicate and charming girl in front of Helian Duo.
"Miss, we've found out everything." A maid took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and presented it to Yunxiu.
Yunxiu's eyes lit up. She couldn't wait to take the paper and read it word by word.
She let out a scornful snort and tore the paper into pieces bit by bit. The pieces fluttered to the ground like snowflakes.
The newspaper office? This is interesting. Let me meet you in person!
Su Yunxiu left through the back door with ease, got on a carriage, and smoothly arrived at the newspaper office.
"Miss, what can I do for you at the newspaper office?" The maid at the door let Yunxiu in. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl.
"I've heard that the owner of this newspaper office is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion. I have something to talk to her about. Could you please announce my visit?" Su Yunxiu looked at the maid gently, with sincerity in her eyes.
The maid looked at her and pursed her lips. Then she said softly, "I'll go and ask." Immediately, the maid went to ask the shopkeeper, "There's a woman at the door who wants to see the miss. Should I tell the miss?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper frowned and asked, "Did you ask what it's about? The miss has been very busy recently. If it's not important, we should decline."
The maid nodded. When she came back, she invited Su Yunxiu in. "Miss, if someone wants to see the miss, they have to write their name here first. Please come back tomorrow."
"Thank you." Su Yunxiu picked up a pen and wrote her name. She stuffed some silver coins into the maid's hand and then left with her entourage.
In the afternoon, the maid presented the visiting card to Cheng Xiran. Cheng Xiran frowned slightly when she saw the name on it. "Did you see what kind of person she is?"
"She's a very beautiful girl. I was careful. When she left, I saw the token of the regent's mansion hanging on her carriage." The maid had heard about the previous incident between Cheng Xiran and the regent. When she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xiran, afraid of saying something wrong.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiran put away the visiting card and called Zhuque. "You go back first and keep an eye on things. I'll go there tomorrow." Zhuque understood what she meant. She gave Zhuque some silver coins for travel expenses and sent her away.
When Zhuque came back, she happened to meet Zuo Yan. He was holding a basket in his hand and had just arrived at the mansion gate. "This was sent by the prince. They're freshly picked fruits."
Zhuque took the basket. After taking a look, she said irritably, "Your prince is really stingy. He only knows how to send dates every day."
Zuo Yan smiled and said, "The prince knows that Miss Cheng likes them, so he sent them. If Miss Cheng likes something else, I'll report it to the prince."
Zhuque thought for a while and said, "My miss likes money. She likes it very much."
Hearing this, the smile on Zuo Yan's face froze immediately. How could he report this to the prince?
"Go back. I'll take the things to the miss." Zhuque carried the basket and walked forward without looking back. She took a date from the basket and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it.
At that time, Cheng Xiran was still wondering what Su Yunxiu wanted to talk to her about when she saw Zhuque come back with something. "What are you holding in your hand?"
"The prince ordered Guard Zuo to send it. It's dates again." Zhuque put down the things and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Xiran. Then she said, "The prince is about to get married. Why does he still send dates to the miss every day?"
