Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 369 A Step-by-Step Thrill (3)

However, Wangyou didn't say much. She knew she couldn't avoid the draft; she could just manipulate things when the time came.

After dinner, Wangyou took Ruoxi back home, but she didn't go inside, since they weren't familiar with each other.

After returning home, Wangyou sent someone out to investigate Ruoxi falling down the building, and then she washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, Wangyou received news that Ruoxi had been pushed downstairs by the sister of the Eighth Prince's wife. These days, even noble ladies from wealthy families are so despicable, taking lives at such a young age.

"Sister, should we start with Guo Luoluo?" Xi Xuan asked excitedly.

"No rush. Let's ask Ruoxi first if we want to seek justice. As for stirring up trouble in the capital, it doesn't seem necessary right now. Besides, our manpower isn't quite up to par yet. The situation in the capital seems alright, so let's not rush things. Let's take care of the other places first."

"Well, alright then. But I've noticed that the emperor's sons are all quite capable. However, this old man doesn't seem like a good person; he raises his sons like poisonous insects," Xi Xuan said with a smile.

"Indeed, since his abilities are quite good, he might still be useful in the future. It wouldn't be bad to observe him first."

"By the way, sister, Wenxian sent word this morning that all the bodyguards who were keeping watch around our house were taken care of last night and sent back to their respective homes. And do you know what happened next?"

"Were you frightened?"

"More than that, when Wen Xian sent the head over, several families were in the middle of their business, including the one in the palace. They were terrified on the spot, and the old emperor was furious," Xi Xuan said gloatingly.

"If he doesn't get angry, he'll be a saint. But we should definitely find an opportunity to meet this emperor. An emperor who can raise a group of outstanding sons must be quite capable. It's just that emperors have never been human."

"Sister, shall we sneak in?"

"Of course not, if I remember correctly, the Mid-Autumn Festival should be coming soon."

"Yes, there's still a month and a half left, but what does that have to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

“Ruoxi and I are close, and I didn’t hide it. Kangxi was so frightened late at night, he definitely wouldn’t let it go. But he didn’t know the other party’s situation, so he didn’t dare to take action on his own. You know, he watched the head fall onto his bed, but he couldn’t find the person after searching the entire palace. Do you know what that means?”

"This means that taking his life would be a piece of cake for us. Therefore, he must want to see us openly and honestly. The Mid-Autumn Festival would be a good opportunity. Ruoxi and my sister have a good relationship, so Ruoxi will definitely have to go to the palace. He can give Ruoxi an order to invite her friends, and Ruoxi will definitely agree."

"Yes, we can just go with the flow then." The siblings grinned slyly.

It can be said that they had a thorough understanding of Kangxi's thoughts, and Kangxi was indeed furious. The secret guards' investigation revealed that several ministers and princes had had similar experiences.

Some people wake up in the middle of the night feeling a chill down their back, turn around and find a pair of wide-open eyes; others are having an intimate moment with their concubines when they look up and find a head hanging in front of them.

"This is utterly lawless!" Upon hearing news of the floods again in the court, Emperor Kangxi was furious.

For a moment, Kangxi considered sending troops to surround Xie's residence, but he was worried that if he did, he might lose his head. How many emperors are not afraid of death? Kangxi was no exception. So he suppressed all of this and began to investigate the movements of the owner of Xie's residence.

"Sister Wangyou, I've come to play with you!"

"You've come at the right time; I need to talk to you about something."

"What's wrong?" Ruoxi asked curiously as she sat down.

"Take a look at these materials first," Wangyou said, handing her the materials she had gathered.

"What! I was actually pushed down the stairs by Mingyu? How is that any different from murder!" Ruoxi had always thought she had fallen accidentally, but it turned out she had been pushed.

"Do you want revenge?"

"I want to ask her, is it true that murder doesn't require a death sentence?" Ruoxi said angrily.

"And then what?"

Ruoxi was stunned. She was a bit naive, but she wasn't stupid. Guo Luoluo held an extraordinary position in the court, and even if she were to die now, it would probably be for nothing. Didn't you see that Mingyu hasn't been punished yet?

"If you want revenge, I'll help you take care of her."

"Sister Wangyou, the Guo Luoluo family has an unusual background. I'd better find a chance to take revenge and not involve you." Ruoxi was tempted for a moment, but still shook her head and refused.

"I'm not afraid of that. Let alone one Guoluo clan, I'm not afraid of the Manchu and Mongol Eight Banners combined!" Wangyou said with a smile.

"Are you really alright?"

"It's alright, if something's wrong, it's someone else's problem!"

“Then I’ll think of a good time to expose her viciousness.”

"Alright, no rush. This young lady will take her revenge from morning till night."

“Yes, take it slow, we must make her lose face completely,” Ruoxi said earnestly.

"Sister Wangyou, my sister said she wants to thank you for helping me and would like to treat you to a meal," Ruoxi said with a smile.

“Sure, no problem. I’d like to see how well the chefs at the Eighth Prince’s residence cook.” Wangyou nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his older sister was going out to play again, Xi Xuan resigned himself to going to the study to handle various matters. He seriously suspected that his sister only brought him along because she wanted to have a tool.

Looking at the mountain of work on the table, he thought, "Oh well, she's my own sister, I can't bear to see her overworked. I'll just have to work a little harder myself."

Ruoxi led Wangyou to the back gate of the Eighth Prince's mansion. "I used to only use the front gate. I never thought I would sneak out through the back gate one day."

"Sister Wangyou, I'm sorry to have wronged you." Ruoxi said somewhat apologetically.

"It's alright, it's quite interesting. This must be a real case of using connections!" Wangyou smiled and walked in with Ruoxi, then they arrived at Ruoxi's courtyard.

Ruolan is a very gentle woman, but there is always a hint of sorrow in her eyes, as well as a sense of disillusionment with the world.

At first glance, Wangyou knew this was a woman with a story.

"Hello, Sister Ruolan, I am Xie Wangyou."

"You've arrived, please have a seat." Ruolan smiled and led the two to the table.

Looking at the girl named Wangyou, Ruolan knew at a glance that she must be a lively and free-spirited girl. However, her appearance was too dazzling, and she was a little worried. Such a girl should be a free eagle, not a caged bird.

"Sister Ruolan, don't think so much. I'm just Ruoxi's friend. What others do has nothing to do with me," Wangyou said helplessly, seeing the worry in Ruolan's eyes.

"Sister, Sister Wangyou, what kind of riddle are you playing?"

"Nothing, I just want to know what delicious food they have!"

"Madam, Second Miss, I'll go and urge them right away," the maidservant said with a smile.
