Under the careful care of the doctor and Li Siqi, Xu Yingying gradually recovered. However, because her body was too weak, she spent most of her time sleeping.

Li Siqi would silently watch over Chahua when he was unconscious, fearing that something might happen to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying herself was unaware of this, but Camellia saw it all.

That morning, Xu Yingying overslept again.

In Xu Yingying's view, it was just because she was too weak, but this scene scared Li Siqi, who thought Xu Yingying was dying.

Just when Li Siqi didn't know what to do, Xu Yingying suddenly woke up. She looked up and was shocked to see Li Siqi with a slightly bad complexion.

"What are you doing sitting at the head of my bed? You scared me." Xu Yingying said in a frightened manner.

Li Siqi smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and made up an excuse: "I was just about to wake you up for dinner, I'm glad you're awake now."

After saying that, Li Siqi stood up and left.

When Camellia saw Li Siqi's abnormal behavior, she immediately smiled with ill intention.

"Hey hey hey."

Seeing Camellia's strange smile, Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Camellia said mysteriously to Xu Yingying: "Do you know that when you fell asleep, His Highness the Ninth Prince thought you were unconscious, and he was so scared that he stayed by your bedside for a long time."

"In my opinion, he definitely likes you." Camellia said with an auntie smile.

"Uh...is it true?" After hearing this, Xu Yingying widened her eyes and asked curiously.

"Are you still doubting me? It must be true! I saw it with my own eyes."

"I'm telling you, I can swear to God that everything I said is true. If it's false, I'll be scared to death."

After saying that, Camellia made a gesture as if she was swearing to the sky.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Of course I believe you. Don't be so serious." Xu Yingying was immediately frightened by Camellia's behavior and quickly stopped her.

"Lord Xu, it's time for dinner." Xiao Si's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, okay." Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yingying immediately got out of bed, put on her clothes and shoes, and after a simple tidying up, she rushed to the hall.

In the hall, Li Siqi was waiting for Xu Yingying to come to eat at the dining table.

Xu Yingying sat down and ate a few mouthfuls of rice before asking impatiently, "Your Highness... I heard... you are worried about my safety?"

Li Siqi, who was eating, paused with his chopsticks when he heard this, and his ears turned red.

He immediately changed the subject and said, "Why are you asking this? Let's eat!"

Perhaps it was because Li Siqi's tone was too cold, or perhaps it was because Xu Yingying was too sensitive, which made Xu Yingying mistakenly believe that Li Siqi didn't like her at all, and didn't like this topic.

Suddenly, when Xu Yingying thought of this, she felt a little melancholy, and her good mood just now completely disappeared.

The evil ghost had no time to care about the love story of Xu Yingying and Li Siqi. Instead, he kept following Xu Yingying and urging her to investigate the progress of the case.

Helplessly, Xu Yingying had no time to feel sad, so she could only adjust her mood and go with Li Siqi to investigate the matter.

With the help of Li Siqi, Xu Yingying successfully learned that the land was violently expropriated by the former local official during his tenure. The former local official was named Jiang Yihan, and now he has been promoted to Shangjing.

When she thought of this, Xu Yingying felt overwhelmed.

They were originally expelled from the capital, and now they didn't know how many spies were watching them in the dark, making it inconvenient for them to go back. Moreover, this matter involved officials in the capital, so how could they investigate it?

Just when everyone was feeling very troubled and puzzled about this, Xu Yingying suddenly came up with an idea.

"How about this! Since he is in the capital and it is not convenient for us to go there, why not lead him here?" Xu Yingying said tentatively.

Xu Yingying's words immediately gained the approval of Huang Shaohua and Li Siqi, but a new problem immediately arose.

"How do you think we can lure him here? He is in Shangjing!" Huang Shaohua said in distress.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Siqi suddenly said, "How about this, I'll find a friend of mine to help you make the connection, and then you pretend to be an official who wants to do business with him and bribe him, so that he can come to the county town to sit down, how about that?"

After hearing this, Xu Yingying and Huang Shaohua's eyes suddenly brightened up and they said that this method could work.

"Let's do as you say!" Xu Yingying agreed.

"Okay." Li Siqi nodded, and then asked his men to write a letter to his friend. His friend did not disappoint Li Siqi's request, and with his help, he successfully put Huang Shaohua and Jiang Yihan in touch.

In order to show his loyalty, Huang Shaohua also specially "tributed" a box of silver to Jiang Yihan.

Sure enough, his actions immediately conquered Jiang Yihan. Jiang Yihan fell into the trap and declined many matters, planning to come to the county to meet Huang Shaohua.

The next day.

Jiang Yihan arrived at the county in a shaky carriage.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Siqi, Xu Yingying and the other two, who were in disguise, immediately came to greet him.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes Lord Jiang. It is truly an honor for your humble servant to come to our residence. It makes my humble home shine!"

Seeing this, Huang Shaohua immediately went to the carriage and started to flatter the emperor.

Huang Shaohua's words touched Jiang Yihan's heart, and Jiang Yihan immediately burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect that Lord Huang is so eloquent." Jiang Yihan couldn't help but praise Huang Shaohua.

"Well, it's just that I couldn't help but say a few words from the bottom of my heart when I saw your honor, sir." Huang Shaohua declined.

Jiang Yihan nodded at him, showing that he was satisfied with his performance.

"Sir Jiang, you must be tired after the long journey. Please come in and have some hot tea and take a rest." Huang Shaohua greeted Jiang Yihan.

Hearing this, Jiang Yihan nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked inside.

In the hall, after Huang Shaohua and Jiang Yihan exchanged greetings for a while, Huang Shaohua made an excuse that there was something in his study that he wanted Jiang Yihan to see.

When Jiang Yihan heard that there was something, his eyes suddenly lit up. He thought it was a treasure that Huang Shaohua wanted to give him, so he couldn't wait to follow Huang Shaohua into the study.

Jiang Yihan's attendants also subconsciously wanted to follow Jiang Yihan, but Huang Shaohua looked very embarrassed when he heard the voice.

Jiang Yihan understood immediately after seeing this. He waved his hand to stop the attendant and said, "I'll go in, you all stay at the door!"

Since their master had said so, the servants dared not disobey, so they nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, sir."
