While Xiaxiang was trying on the clothes, Manager Zheng asked, “How was it? Did you get anything?”

“No, other than the bag of chili powder that Master Gu carried when he went out two days ago, there was nothing unusual.”

“Are you sure?”

“Oh right, two days ago, Mistress said that she wanted to go to the manor, but after Master came back, she didn’t mention it again.”

“Which exact day?”

“The 13th.”

“That’s the day the Marquis returns to the capital.”

“Yes, yes, that day.”

“Next, do a good investigation. I’m sure that the couple is on King Rui’s side. See if you can find out anything about King Rui’s movements through them.”

“Yes, I will do my best.”

“Okay, I’ll give you five days. Give me a reply in five days.” After Manager Zheng finished speaking, he sized her up and said, “There’s no need to change it. This dress fits well.

“Wearing thick clothes in the winter that are too tight would only make you look bloated.”

“I’ll heed your advice, Manager Zheng.”

After the two of them chatted for a while, Manager Zheng went to check the clothes of the others. After making sure that no one needed to change them, he got his money from Mother Qiu and left the residence with a smile.

After he left, Zhou Ying called Mother Qiu over and asked, “Mother Qiu, I heard that you changed shops for the servants’ winter clothes this time. How’s the price and quality?”

“The quality is comparable to our summer clothes. It’s definitely made of good material and craftsmans.h.i.+p.

“The price is also 20% lower than the previous shop, saving us nearly 50 taels of silver.”

“Is that so? How do you know that Manager Zheng?”

“When I went to place an order, I met him on the street. I heard that the price was not bad and changed to his shop.”

“I see. Let’s keep patronizing him in the future, then.” At this point, Zhou Ying suddenly changed the topic and asked, “By the way, how’s Zhou Dong’s shop doing? Have you gone to take a look?”

“I’ve been there once. It’s selling quite well, especially the biscuits and pies. They also sell steamed buns and nothing else.”

“Good. As long as they can maintain their business, it’s fine. When the situation recovers next year, business will be much better.”

“Indeed, we don’t even have all the ingredients we need for now.”

The two of them chatted for a while before Mother Qiu left.

Zhou Ying, on the other hand, extended her divine sense to look at Manager Zheng. With his ident.i.ty, it was very easy for him to come into contact with the spies of various families.

She could also use him to see if she could find any useful information.

Not long after, Manager Zheng brought another batch of winter clothes to the Sun Residence. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mrs. Sun, Manager Zheng met up with two servant girls.

Of course, their task was to keep an eye on Scholar Sun.

Over the next two days, Manager Zheng delivered clothes a few more times.

Zhou Ying also realized that the families he sent clothes to included not only King Rui’s faction but also King Kang’s faction.

He even sent clothes to the Seventh Prince’s father-in-law’s Yan family.

Of course, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about this when she had the chance.

That night, Gu Chengrui said, “Babe, take the opportunity to leak some news to Xiaxiang. Tell her that King Rui has recovered from his injuries and is going back to Dongyang.”

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. “Are you sure? If the Emperor is really gone, it’s fine. If he survives, will he have any objections to King Rui?”

“No, this is the Emperor’s will.”

“What did the Emperor discover?”

“The Emperor seems to have been poisoned.”

“Poisoned? Not wormed?”

“I’m not sure. Let’s just listen to his orders.”

“I understand. I’ll make something delicious tomorrow morning to send King Rui and Brother Zhou off..”
