The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 318: Spying

The two went around and came out, just to see Lao Jiu pacing back and forth in the courtyard. When he saw Yun Jiao, he gave her a look.

Yun Jiao waved at him and went toward the back courtyard.

Lao Jiu followed, and Ah Hu tactfully stood guard at the door between the two courtyards.

Yun Jiao asked Lao Jiu, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

Lao Jiu hesitated for a moment, "Boss, I-I really don’t have any personal motives here."

"I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I’ve been thinking about it and I feel I should tell you, boss."

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "Go ahead."

Lao Jiu whispered, "Today, when I was grinding the White Medicine powder, I went out for a drink of water. When I came back, I found the powder in the grinder had been tampered with."

"I don’t think I was mistaken."

Yun Jiao squinted her eyes, "Oh?"

Lao Jiu continued, "Ah Tie was in the front at that time, so it was only Master Chen in the west wing."

"I don’t know if anyone else went in."

Yun Jiao nodded, "I understand, you can go back to work."

Lao Jiu left, and Yun Jiao took a walk around the back courtyard, then came out.

At the door, she told Ah Hu about Lao Jiu’s words, "Have you noticed anything off about Master Chen in the last couple of days?"

Ah Hu shook his head, "Nothing unusual, he isn’t running around. Besides making medicine in the west wing, he stays in his room upstairs."

Yun Jiao wasn’t sure if Master Chen had actually touched the grinder, as even Lao Jiu hadn’t seen it firsthand; it was just a suspicion.

She couldn’t make any rash decisions based solely on this suspicion.

She could only say, "Make sure to keep an eye on him."

Ah Hu nodded and went upstairs.

Once upstairs, he first checked the room at the end of the corridor, then knocked on Lin Shuo’s door.

After telling Lin Shuo about the matter, Lin Shuo squinted his eyes, "I think this isn’t simple."

"Those medicines from Doctor Gu, we’ve used the bruise oil, and it’s even better than the kind used in the palace."

"And there are other medicines, White Medicine, Huo Shui, Six Flavor Earth Pill, and something like Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill. The effectiveness of these is good, otherwise those people wouldn’t keep coming to buy them."

"Doctor Gu might have a lot of secret formulas in hand and might not realize their great value, just one would make many people jealous."

"I’m worried that this Master Chen might be after Doctor Gu’s secret formulas."

Ah Hu rubbed his chin, "It’s possible."

Lin Shuo glanced at him, then another glance at the roof.

Ah Hu nodded, and with a leap, he jumped out the window, grabbing the eaves, then gracefully flipped onto the roof.

It was just getting dark.

Ah Hu judged the direction from the roof, then quickly moved to Master Chen’s room, crouching on the rooftop.

He was very light-handed, lifting a few tiles, and looked down.

Master Chen was inside the room.

He was lying on the side of the bed, doing nothing, looking perfectly normal.

Ah Hu watched for a while, and Master Chen didn’t even change his posture.

Ah Hu thought maybe he and the young master had guessed wrong, and it might not have been Master Chen who touched the medicine in the grinder.

There are quite a few people in this shop.

Plus, the back courtyard is being renovated; maybe some bored craftsmen came and checked it out?

The roof was sloped, especially since Master Chen’s room was at the back, making the slope even steeper.

Ah Hu lay on it and kept sliding down.
