CH 46.1

Now, because everyone in the capital is looking for the horse, their people can mingle among the crowd. They go all over the capital to search for unusual courtyards to see if there are Fang family’s parents hidden in them.

If the horse is found and there are no people to cover the movement for them anymore, no matter how careful their people are, they will be noticed by someone with a bad intention.

Therefore, the round-faced housekeeper did not disturb the thin horse, but acted as if he didn’t see it and walked out of the alley.

Just then, a group of beggars came over with torches, and their leader said: “This alley has not been searched yet. Let’s go in and have a look!”

The round-faced housekeeper kindly reminded them: “I just came out from there and I didn’t find any horse at all.”

The leader of the beggars’ group looked at him and said: “Old man, do you also come here to find the fifty taels?”

That’s right. The people in the capital now call Master Third Champion’s thin horse as ‘fifty taels’.

The round-faced housekeeper nodded: “To tell you the truth, I am the housekeeper of the Wu family. Because our Master is anxious, we as servants have also come out to find it.”

The beggars’ group did not suspect him at once. They took the coal ash and drew a cross at the entrance of the alley, then they walked forward with the round-faced housekeeper, and at the same time they talked to the round-faced housekeeper: “What kind of grass does fifty taels like to eat most? What does it likes to do most?”

It’s not a good way to look for it all over the street.

If they know what the horse likes, they can fish it out!

Isn’t that what fishing is all about?

The round-faced housekeeper threw out some false information and soon parted ways with the beggars’ group.

He turned around for another two hours while secretly communicating with their own people before returning to the Wu family’s house.

Wu Wei’an returned much earlier than him.

He and Ji Yunxi took a bath one after the other and stayed in the bedroom, cooling themself with ice.

The beauty couch was Ji Yunxi’s site, and the table in front of the window with the books stacked on top was his site.

He was writing and drawing, while Ji Yunxi was checking the list of supplies for the previous month that had been sent from the shop.

Ji Yunxi already had a rough plan in mind about Fang Yuan’s matter, but all this could only be implemented after finding the Fang family’s parents.

Now that the search has just started, there is no point in being anxious, so Ji Yunxi quickly calmed down and began to handle official business.

Outside, someone knocked on the door.

Wu Wei’an at the table raised his head and said to Ji Yunxi: “It’s the housekeeper. He should have something to report.”

Ji Yunxi hummed and said casually: “Then let him in.”

Wu Wei’an was silent for a moment, then turned his head subconsciously to glance at her.

She was reclining on the couch, wearing thin crescent-white night clothes.

Wu Wei’an took back his eyes without looking to the left nor to the right anymore and touched his nose. Instead of letting the round-faced housekeeper in, he pushed the window open, leaned out half of his body, and said to the housekeeper standing outside the door: “What’s the matter?”

The round-faced housekeeper looked at the closed door in front of him, and then looked at his Young Master with half his head sticking out. He walked over and stood outside the window: “Young Master, I haven’t found anyone yet.”

“Hmm.” Wu Wei’an retracted his body and asked in a low voice through the window, “What about the horse?”

Round-faced housekeeper: “The horse has been found.”

“Oh?” Wu Wei’an frowned, and his heart tightened slightly, “Was it our people, or the common people——” he paused, “who found it?”

The round-faced housekeeper looked at his Young Master’s face in the window, and his old face could not help but twitch: “It’s me who saw it in the alley, Young Master.”

Wu Wei’an breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared in his eyes: “Good. Did you bring the horse back then?”

The round-faced housekeeper shook his head: “In this little one’s humble opinion, this horse hasn’t reached the point where it can be found yet.”
