Chapter 69 - A Plot (2)
After Xue Fanxin sensed that Li Yaoyao was secretly eavesdropping, she stopped in her tracks and deliberately pretended to be careful. She took out the three blank books Jasmine had prepared for her and solemnly instructed, "Jasmine, these three books need to be buried underground for a day and night for the contents to appear. I plan to bury them in that provision room."
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Jasmine did not know that Li Yaoyao was by her side and even asked foolishly, "Miss, Li Yaoyao came to your room today to rummage through your things to find those three blank books. You—"
Xue Fanxin was afraid that Jasmine would spoil the plan. Before she could finish speaking, she quickly interrupted her. "It's precisely because Li Yaoyao is looking for these three books that I'm hiding them."
"Miss…"
"Jasmine, from now on, you have to keep a close eye on Li Yaoyao. You can't let her approach this provision room even half a step. If she dares to barge in forcefully, shout a few times. I'll arrange for some people to patrol the vicinity."
"Alright, Miss." Although Jasmine did not know what Xue Fanxin was planning, she nodded seriously.
"If this matter is done, I'll definitely reward you well. It's said that these three empty books have some treasure map drawn on them. When I find the treasure in the future, I won't forget your share. Alright, hurry up and keep an eye on Li Yaoyao. Go now."
"Miss, you want me to keep an eye on Li Yaoyao at night?"
"Right."
"Oh." Jasmine was still in a daze. She went to carry out the mission Xue Fanxin had given her.
Li Yaoyao hid in the dark and heard everything Xue Fanxin and Jasmine said clearly. Then, she left quietly and returned to her room.
"I finally know where the three books are. Even if I can't get them myself, I can at least give an explanation."
"Explain what?" The mysterious person suddenly appeared in Li Yaoyao's room. Hearing her talking to herself, he asked casually.
Li Yaoyao was just thinking about how to contact the mysterious person, but unexpectedly, the other party came looking for her himself. This suited her wishes. "Your Excellency, there's news about the three blank books. They are hidden in a small grocery room in the Duke's Estate's West Courtyard. However, Xue Fanxin already knows that I'm looking for these three books and has her maidservant keeping an eye on me. I have no way of getting those three books."
"What's so difficult about that? I'll go get it myself."
"Your Excellency, I've already done what you asked. May I know what I…"
"Don't worry. When I obtain what I want, I'll naturally make your dream come true."
"Then I hope you can get what you want as soon as possible, Sir." Li Yaoyao was filled with confidence in the mysterious person. She felt that as long as he took action personally, he would be able to obtain the three books.
When she became the Third Prince's wife, killing Xue Fanxin would be a simple task.
Xue Fanxin, your good days are coming to an end.
Li Yaoyao was still dreaming, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into Xue Fanxin's trap.
After Li Yaoyao left, Xue Fanxin found a suitable place to hide and wait.
She thought that she would have to wait for a long time before the fish took the bait. Unexpectedly, in less than two hours, her prey was here.
A mysterious black-clothed person appeared in the Duke's Estate in the middle of the night and walked towards the provision room in the West Courtyard.
"Is this the mysterious person who's working with Li Yaoyao?"
"Who cares who it is? Just blow him up first."
"Little girl, who are you going to blow up?"
"You?" Xue Fanxin was shocked by the person who had suddenly appeared and almost shouted.. Fortunately, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
