Chapter 611: It was a pity to let her go

Shi Qingluo was not afraid of the North Prince's concubine taking revenge.

It was just a hassle.

She was relieved with her husband's reply.

"How did you know that the secondary consort of the North Prince is the mother of Ge Chunru and her siblings?"

Xiao Hanzheng sneered. "I've asked my people to keep an eye on Ge Chunru and her brother's courtyard. I discovered that, in addition to my people, my scumbag father's people were watching them. There was also another man which we were unsure of his identity. So, I sent someone to keep an eye on him. Only then did I find out that he was one of the North Prince's concubine's people. He doesn't do much. He just pays attention to what happens to Ge Chunru and her two siblings."

"I was very confused at that time. Why would a concubine of the North Prince come to keep an eye on Ge Chunru and her siblings? So I sent someone to investigate it thoroughly. After that, my people at the Ge Kingdom not only brought back some news but also a portrait. I noticed that the woman's appearance is similar to the Ge sisters. According to the news from the Ge Kingdom, the North Prince brought this secondary consort back. I realized that this happened not long after Ge Chunru's mother fell into the water. Then, her people came to collect the bodies of Ge Chunru and her siblings. I was completely sure of her identity."

Shi Qingluo nodded. "I see."

Although the North Prince's secondary consort was more secretive, it had to be said that her young husband paid more attention to the details.

"And when I investigated this matter, I discovered an even bigger and more shocking secret." Xiao Hanzheng said.

"What?" Shi Qingluo asked curiously.

Xiao Hanzheng whispered in her ear.

Shi Qingluo's eyes were filled with surprise. "They actually have such a relationship? The North Prince sure knows how to play."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled. "The North Prince must be here for the treasure. He doesn't think that he will fail. That's why he came here—to take the treasure back to the Ge Kingdom."

Shi Qingluo pursed his lips. "Then I'm afraid he'll be disappointed."

A few days later, Shi Qingluo organized another buffet.

This time, there were some changes to the dishes, but the main dishes were still the same.

All the seats had been reserved three days ago.

As soon as it was lunchtime, people who couldn't wait at all had rushed in like a swarm of bees.

Xiao Hanzheng went to the yamen, while Shi Qingluo took the initiative to greet the guests.

This time, there weren't too many family heads or madams coming, probably because they couldn't hold back their identity.

However, many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families who were invited had arrived, and some who didn't lack money.

Following that, Shi Qingluo also discovered a caravan from the western regions and two Ge Kingdom caravans.

They had also made their reservations here.

The price of the buffet was 100 taels of silver per person.

Because it was only held twice a month, it focused on the luxurious goods.

Although the price was high, everyone didn't hold back their enthusiasm.

Many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families or rich families did not manage to get a seat.
