Chapter 526: Chapter 528: Eavesdropping on Secrets

With every autumn rain comes a chill, and the temperature in the Capital City has dropped suddenly, the drizzle ceaseless.

These past few days, Shao He has spent more time at Anji Hall.

In her spare time, she deliberately found several medical books to read and studied herbal medicine ratios there.

One day, Xiao Linzhang suddenly became uncontrollable, and the nanny, holding him, couldn’t calm him down after a long while; he cried and refused to eat.

"What should we do? Why won’t the little master stop crying?" Nanny Zhang was so anxious that she was running in circles.

Shao He had just come back, came over to check, and found that his stomach hurt terribly, his small hand clutching his trouser leg, kicking vigorously.

She reached out and gently pressed the child’s stomach, and indeed, it was somewhat hard.

She immediately instructed Nanny Zhang to get the medicine to decoct and also administered acupuncture to Xiao Linzhang.

After being busy for a while, Xiao Linzhang soon stopped crying.

Although Xiao Linzhang had taken the medicine, his lower abdomen still cramped, and Shao He kept lightly patting him, yet he still whimpered from the pain.

Soon, the pain subsided, and he lay on the bed, drowsy.

Shao He had someone prepare ginger sugar water and fed him a few sips; then Xiao Linzhang fell fast asleep.

"Miss, how is the little master’s condition?" Qingxia entered the room and asked softly.

"He’s asleep," Shao He replied as she tucked the blanket higher to prevent him from catching cold.

The next day, early in the morning, she took Xiao Linzhang for a walk in the courtyard to aid digestion, then took him to the kitchen to see if the porridge was ready.

The fragrant aroma stimulated the appetite, and Xiao Linzhang’s mouth watered even more.

Soon, Qingxia brought over the porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, a special recipe written by the lady herself—though the taste was yet unknown.

Shao He tasted a spoonful, her eyes lit up, "The flavor is truly good!"

Qingxia smiled with delight, "Of course, it was made according to the miss’s method, naturally it’s delicious."

After eating, Xiao Linzhang became sleepy again. Shao He had Qing Shan take him back to the room to rest.

Once Xiao Linzhang had fallen asleep, she took Qingxia with her to Anji Hall.

Halfway there, Shao He suddenly spotted a familiar figure and halted.

Qingxia asked puzzledly, "Miss, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing. You go on ahead to Anji Hall, I have something to buy." After speaking, she started to follow the person in front.

Qingxia wanted to say more but saw Shao He enter the Brothel, which made her eyes widen in shock.

"What could require a visit to the Brothel to purchase?"

Although she didn’t understand what her miss intended to buy, she obediently turned and left.

Upon entering the Brothel, Shao He was immediately stopped by the procuress at the door.

"This is a place for men to seek pleasure; if the lady is here to sell herself, I welcome you, but if you’re here to cause trouble, don’t blame me for being rude."

Shao He took out an ingot of silver, "I’m not here to cause trouble; I’m just looking for someone."

The procuress was tempted by the ingot of silver but suppressed the urge to grab it.

"I can’t break the rules here because of you, lady, please leave."

Seeing this, Shao He took out another ingot of silver, "You can rest assured, I’m not here for a man, I’m looking for a woman."

The procuress, unable to resist such temptation, immediately pocketed the two ingots of silver, and hastily tucked them away as if fearing they might be snatched back.

"If you dare make trouble here, I will have you thrown out," the procuress said, then swayed her plump waist and left.

Shao He went inside the Brothel, weaving through the halls in search, but still did not find the one she wanted to see.

Just as she was about to give up, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure and hurried after it.

From the private room, a familiar voice could be heard.

"What do you plan to do next?"

"Naturally, we will stick to the plan."

"Plan? Can your so-called plan still be realized? I’ve already invested one daughter, do you intend to sacrifice the whole Jiang Family?" Father Jiang said in a low roar.

He didn’t expect the Second Prince would end up confined, and that Pei Huaian would ascend to the position of Crown Prince.

But it was too late for regrets, and Father Jiang no longer wanted to proceed.

Xia Zhaoshun, seeing his reluctance, gradually became more ruthless in his gaze.

"At this point, do you still have room to retreat? Other than fighting alongside me, you have no other choice."

"But..." Father Jiang still hesitated.

He wasn’t without desire for glory and riches, but if they failed, the Jiang Family would be doomed. How then could he ensure the Jiang Family’s survival?

"Uncle Jiang, rest assured, I will always protect the Jiang Family, after all, you still have to care for Ruirui. How could I abandon you?"

Father Jiang remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Fine, since we’ve come this far, doing it one more time doesn’t make much difference. When do you plan to deal with Pei Huaian?"

His only concern now was Pei Huaian ascending to the Crown Prince’s position.

Huaian sneered, "No rush. When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman profits. Let them fight to the death, and then we will strike."

His ambitions were tremendous; his desire wasn’t just to be second to none but to hold sway over the court and rule the entire land.

"What about Jiang Zhou?"

Xia Zhaoshun slightly lowered his gaze, "I will save her from the Second Prince’s Mansion."

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he abruptly looked towards the door, his dagger flying out of his hand.
