The door of the main room was closed, and a guard stood guard at the door. Qin Shuhuang followed Luo Chu into the study room in the back room. As the bookshelf in the study room turned, a square room was revealed, with the same layout. The study outside is very similar.

The guard in gray helped Luo Chu into the secret room in the study first.

Qin Shuhuang, Xie Xuanye and Lu Da then followed in.

Tea and snacks were placed on the small table in the secret room, just like those outside. Presumably Luo Chu had people arrange it before they came here.

The five people entered the secret room of the study. The guard in gray helped Luo Chu sit down, walked to an oil lamp, turned the lamp, and closed the secret room door.

Qin Shuhuang sat next to Luo Chu, and Xie Xuan Ye Luda was vigilantly guarding Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang was the only one who was calm and composed.

She picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, "Thank you Mr. Luo for helping to get rid of Li Ge a few days ago. I owe you a favor. I wonder if Mr. Luo wants me to repay you for inviting me to the Liu family mansion today. This favor?”

Qin Shuhuang really wanted to use himself to enter the Liu family's mansion to pit the Liu family against the Duhufu.

The Liu family's mansion is so big. If she wants to pretend to enter the Liu family's mansion, she doesn't have to rely on Luo Chu's help. Besides, she doesn't know if Luo Chu has any connection with the Liu family in Guangnan.

The reason why she teamed up with Luo Chu to do this game was entirely because Luo Chu contacted her in advance!
Luo Chu looked at Qin Shuhuang appreciatively and said, "Since His Highness has said this, Luo will not be polite. Luo really has something to ask His Highness for help."

Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, Luo Chu didn't help her in vain.

"Let Mr. Luo tell you, as long as I have this ability, I will definitely help Mr. Luo."

Luo Chu took a deep breath, looked at Qin Shuhuang with sincere eyes and said seriously: "Luo wants to borrow His Highness's manpower to investigate several elders of the Liu family."

Qin Shuhuang was surprised. She looked at Luo Chu up and down, "Mr. Luo is now the elder of the Liu family. The elders of the Liu family have many privileges. Isn't it more convenient for you to have someone investigate by yourself than by someone from this palace? Why do you want to find him? I?"

Luo Chu smiled bitterly, "This involves Liu family secrets. If I participate, once discovered, the fourth prince will not tolerate me!"

The regent found out about his betrayal, and the fourth prince no longer trusted him. By then, such a huge force might not even have room for Luo Chu, and it might even involve Lieutenant Xue from Ningshui.

Luo Chu could expose himself, but definitely not at this time.

Qin Shuhuang immediately understood Luo Chu's current situation. She paused and said, "I can help you, but I have two conditions. I can only do my best and cannot guarantee that I will be able to help you find out." . Second, if the secrets of the Liu family are beneficial to me, I will fight for them, and I will not take into account your position as the elder of the Liu family."

Qin Shuhuang vaguely felt that what Luo Chu wanted to know was probably related to the Liu family's true financial resources, so he had to speak up front.

After hearing what Qin Shuhuang said, Luo Chu was not as serious as before, and his whole temperament was as gentle and elegant as before.

He smiled faintly and said: "I just want to know the secrets of the Liu family, and I don't want anything else. What does Your Highness like about the Liu family? As long as you have the ability, just do it. I will neither occupy nor plot to stop His Highness." "

Unexpectedly, Luo Chu would say this, and Qin Shuhuang's eyes became more probing.

Judging from Luo Chu's reaction, Luo Chu, the elder of the Liu family, has no sense of identity and belonging to the Liu family. Not only does he not have a sense of belonging, he seems to secretly reject and hate the Liu family.

"With your words, I believe this cooperation will be pleasant."

Seeing Qin Shuhuang's agreement, Luo Chu looked back at the gray-clothed guard behind him. The guard took a wooden box from the ancient shelf in the secret room and placed it in Qin Shuhuang's hand.

"Your Highness, this is the list and information of the three elders of the Liu family that I need to investigate. If your Highness still wants to know anything after reading it, feel free to ask." Qin Shuhuang nodded, and Luda next to her stepped forward and picked up the wooden box. .

"I'm afraid that the people in the Protector's Mansion in Guangnan City are going to cause trouble these days. Why don't you stay in the elder's house for the time being? If there is any danger, I will notify your highness and arrange for your highness to leave early."

Qin Shuhuang didn't expect Luo Chu to be so careful in his arrangements, so she nodded and agreed.

Even if Luo Chu doesn't help this time, she will still have to live in the Liu family mansion for a few days. It is of course better to have Luo Chu help now.However, safety cannot be entirely relied on on Luo Chu. Due to the surrounding situation, she will ask Luda to arrange personal guards on duty.

Once the matter is settled, there is no need to stay in the secret room for a long time.

The group came out of the secret room, and Luo Chu asked someone to arrange a place for Qin Shuhuang.

Finally, the steward led Qin Shuhuang, who was wearing a curtain hat, into the third courtyard.

The housekeeper said happily: "The girl is the distinguished guest of the master. There are not many people in the master's place. It has been empty for the past few years. This time when the master comes back, he only lives in the second courtyard as usual. The third courtyard is quiet and quiet without any traces." It's quietest when no one disturbs me. The girl will rest here for the time being. I'll ask a few maids with clean hands and feet to serve the girl in a while. If the girl needs anything, please let me know."

While talking, Qin Shuhuang was led by the housekeeper into the third room entering the courtyard.

The furnishings inside are clean and elegant, and there are some decorations unique to the Liu family. It is full of charm. It is indeed a good place to live, at least several times better than the large and small inns in Guangnan City.

Qin Shuhuang was satisfied, and with a wink, Luda rewarded the housekeeper with silver.

The housekeeper didn't dare to ask for anything, and said with a grimace: "How can the little old man ask for the money of the distinguished guest! If the master finds out and doesn't take off the little old man's skin, the girl should spare the little old man, otherwise The little old man can’t explain it to his master!”

Luda looked at Qin Shuhuang in embarrassment. Qin Shuhuang nodded, and Luda took back the money bag in his hand.

After the housekeeper left, four young maids with uniform clothes and clean faces reported to the yard.

Soon Qin Shuhuang discovered that these four maids were all mute...

They cannot speak or read, they can only listen, and they work hard.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang had very little luggage, he immediately had a wooden box brought in. The wooden box was filled with brand new clothes, jewelry, perfume, and other things for his daughter's household.

Qin Shuhuang was amused when he saw the wooden box and asked where the things came from. Several mute maids pointed at them. After a while, Qin Shuhuang realized that these things were prepared by the housekeeper for the female guests.

Now that they are here, these things are indeed necessary for Qin Shuhuang, so naturally she will no longer be polite.

Under the service of two maids, I washed up and put on clean clothes. When I came out of the clean room, I saw that dinner was already set on the table in the flower hall.

The dinner was very sumptuous. She had four cold dishes, four hot dishes and a soup by herself.

Qin Shuhuang told the four mute maids that there were too many dishes for her to eat alone and asked them to remove some. The four maids couldn't speak and even after pointing to her for a long time, she didn't understand what they meant. In the end, she could only ignore the rest for the time being. Sit down at the table and start eating.

The four mute maids became happy when they saw Qin Shuhuang eating. They surrounded her and gave her dishes and soup.

This scene reminded Qin Shuhuang of the four people Ruimiao Ruihe Shilan Shiyu. (End of chapter)
