First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 431 The heart of hexagram 8 is burning

Without the eldest princess causing trouble, Su Jixiang and Lady Cheng'en were still very happy on their trip to worship Buddha.

The wife of Duke Cheng'en was very talkative, and since Wei Ling had once saved her and her child's lives, she basically did not regard Wei Ling and Su Jixiang as outsiders.

She also took Su Jixiang and Wei Ling to eat vegetarian food in the mountains and enjoy the scenery before returning to the capital.

Su Jixiang received a secret letter from Liu Juan as soon as he returned to the capital.

Su Jixiang also started to pay attention to the Princess's Mansion after the Hairpin Flower Party.

Liu Juan is now the abbess of the entire Jixiangzhai.

Jixiangzhai serves the royal family and nobles in the capital.

Therefore, sometimes it is easier to get information from royal relatives and nobles.

After all, some people would not tell others about their mistresses, but people always have to eat, and the cakes produced by Jixiangzhai are not available anywhere else in the capital. In order to serve these noble families, Jixiangzhai uses door-to-door service. As long as you order a cake from Jixiangzhai and specify the time and address, Jixiangzhai will deliver it on time.

This service is quite popular among the wealthy and noble in Beijing.

Therefore, the servants of Jixiangzhai could enter and leave the mansions of the royal family and nobles in the capital.

Not only did the guys from Jixiangzhai go in and out of their open and aboveboard residences, they also went to those shady places.

After all, although some concubines are kept outside without the knowledge of their families, they have money and want to learn from the main wife to get some rare items in the capital.

You can write on Jixiangzhai’s cream birthday cake, which can invisibly give you a glimpse into other people’s privacy.

So Su Jixiang told Liu Juan about this matter as soon as he arrived at Jixiangzhai in the city, and the guys in charge of delivering goods at Jixiangzhai were all specially trained by Su Jixiang with the help of Wei Zhong.

These people have been trained in the Black Tiger Army's scout camp and are very proficient in spying.

These young men are the orphans of the Black Tiger Army's soldiers who died in battle. They were raised by the Black Tiger Army and studied and learned martial arts in the school run by Su Jixiang. Therefore, they are extremely loyal to the Black Tiger Army and also to Su Jixiang.

Although they had not been in the capital for long, this invisible intelligence network had expanded very quickly.

Each of these guys is very smart.

So as soon as Su Jixiang sent a message asking them to help keep an eye on the people in the Princess's Mansion, they immediately took action.

After reading the news brought by Liu Juan, Su Jixiang frowned slightly.

"How is it?" Wei Ling asked curiously when he saw Su Jixiang's strange expression.

"The news from Jixiangzhai said that the prince consort ordered a birthday cake today, which will be delivered the day after tomorrow, but the delivery address is not the Princess's Mansion, but Ximoxuan." Su Jixiang said.

"That's not surprising," Wei Ling said. "When Prince Cheng'en has nothing to do, he usually stays in Ximoxuan, where he meets friends through poetry."

"But this cake is clearly for a woman," Su Jixiang said. "It's required to be decorated with wisteria flowers, and the note should read: Happy birthday to my beloved wife." Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling. "The eldest princess' birthday isn't the day after tomorrow."

Wei Ling then understood why Su Jixiang was frowning.

"Could it be that Prince Cheng'en ordered it for his friend?" Wei Ling thought for a moment and asked.

"That's a possibility." Su Jixiang nodded and said, "But what if it's not? What if it was the cake ordered by the Prince Consort?"

The husband and wife looked at each other, and they understood the meaning in each other's eyes. In an instant, the fire of gossip ignited in the bottom of both of their eyes!

Wei Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing. "If that's true, then the Prince Consort has another mistress outside and calls her his beloved wife? If that's true, then we're in for a real show."

"Hehe, so we'll have to wait and see the day after tomorrow!" Su Jixiang said with a smile. "Oh, by the way, I also received an order for a cake, also from Liu Juan. Can you guess who ordered it?"

"How could I have guessed that? But since you've paid so much attention to me and come to tell me about it, this person must be someone I know." Wei Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Although you used to be in the capital, you were mostly in the palace. Among the people you knew in the capital, the only one who overlaps with me is probably someone in this mansion! Is it my troublesome cousin?"

"You're so clever!" Su Jixiang sighed heartily. Talking to clever people wasn't difficult, but it also lacked the joy and surprise of uncovering the mystery. "This cake wasn't ordered by your troublesome great-uncle, but by your ninth great-uncle's young wife. Guess where it was sent?"

"This order is for tomorrow." Su Jixiang said after taking a look at the delivery date of the order.

"Tomorrow?" Wei Ling frowned and thought about his ninth uncle's birthday, which had already passed. Naturally, this would not be a gift for his uncle. "I can't guess it this time."

"Send it to Huaishu Hutong." Su Jixiang looked at Wei Ling and said, "I remember that after Uncle Jiu moved out from here, he went to live in a big house in the western suburbs. That house was newly purchased by him, and he used all our money!" Su Jixiang felt a little aggrieved when she said this. Although she was rich, it was two different concepts to take the initiative to give money to others and to ask for money from others.

Huaishu Hutong is obviously not related to the big house in the western suburbs.

"Could it be that this woman is doing a favor for Uncle Nine?" Wei Ling asked.

"Have you ever seen anyone send someone a love cake with 'Morning and evening, I miss you but cannot see you' written on it?" Su Jixiang quickly read out the words that were required to be written on the cake.

Wei Ling's eyes widened immediately and he took the secret letter from Su Jixiang's hand.

Sure enough, this is what was written in the secret letter.

"This..." He was a little amused, "You mean my uncle Ninth Grandfather has a dense green cloud over his head?"

"I think it's possible." Su Jixiang said seriously.

Wei Ling... He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

"You..." Su Jixiang looked at her husband helplessly and couldn't help laughing. "Why are you laughing? That's your ninth uncle. If Ruan is really involved with this ninth uncle and something outside, your ninth uncle's hair will really be cuckolded!"

Wei Ling found it funny. Things in this mundane world are often so sad.

"If you want to know if it's true, just go over there and take a look." Wei Ling smiled at Su Jixiang, "We can't go to Ximoxuan for the time being, but we can go to this house in Huaishu Hutong and take a look!"

Seeing Wei Ling's gossipy face, Su Jixiang scratched his head and said, "It's already dark now, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate!"
