Chu Xinian felt that his work could not be called "A Thousand Years for the Marquis", and it might be more appropriate to change its name to "A Thousand Years of Infernal Affairs".

Chu Jiaoping didn't want to say more so as not to leak the secrets, but he was afraid that Chu Xinian would not know the seriousness of the matter, so he explained: "Prince Jin has received the Imperial Edict and he will go to Shuofang to suppress the rebels next month, it is imminent but most of the army is Xie Jingyuan's former troops, if they secretly colluded and cause trouble then it will inevitably be a burden, if we can get the roster, we could take precautions early." 

The purpose of a lackey is to make suggestions and protect the Lord's safety. If the lord is dead, then consider yourself eating shit, you must not be a qualified lackey. You might need to follow your master under the grave.  

Chu Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly to express his understanding. He smiled and decided to fool this cheap brother first: "Don't worry, brother, I will find a way to steal the list."

If he refuses, Chu Jiaoping will not force him, but he will definitely find another plan. Instead of being blind, it's better to put it under your own nose, so as to inquire about the situation on Prince Jin's side.

This is how the court's strategy is like this, each of them makes their own moves, and whoever wins counts, there is no such thing as despicable and shameless. Xie Jingyuan's mansion was guarded like an iron bucket like watertight. If there was no other way, Chu Jiaoping didn't want to take the risk of pinning his hopes on his younger brother.

Before leaving, Chu Jiaoping didn't know what to think of, so he stopped and looked back at Chu Xinian: "Second brother..."

Chu Xinian raised his head subconsciously: "Brother, what else do you need to steal?" 

"..."

Chu Jiaoping shook his head slightly: "It's nothing. I want to say that you should pay attention to your own safety. It's good if you can get the roster, but it's okay if you don't get it." After saying that, he turned and opened the door and left with heavy steps. 

It seems that what Chu Xinian will go to was not the bridal chamber, but the tiger's den. 

Chu Xinian himself didn't care much, and lay down on the bed to sleep. It's a pity that with so many things happening in one day, he obviously couldn't sleep, and he tossed and turned for several hours without closing his eyes. In the middle of the night, he heard some noises in a daze, and felt that someone was sitting beside his bed.

Chu Xinian closed his eyes and remained motionless, but he became vigilant in his heart, worried that someone would harm him.

However, the person just sat by the bed and looked at Chu Xinian quietly, then stretched out their hand to tuck the quilt for him, touched the wound on his head, let out a low, inaudible sigh, and finally left the room quietly.

Chu Xinian quietly opened his eyes, the night was hazy, and he felt that the person's back looked a bit like Lady Mei.

In the early morning of the next day, the car was ready outside Quyang Hou's mansion. Lady Mei's eldest maid was ordered to come outside the courtyard gate to see if Chu Xinian was awake, but she saw that he was fully dressed and looked ready to leave at any time.

The servant girl was a little surprised and bowed her knees and said: "Second Young Master, the carriage is ready, please come with your servant."

Chu Xinian was holding a decorative folding fan in his hand, although it is not necessarily hot, but he wants to study the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists on it. Hearing this, he looked around, but he didn't see Lady Mei: "Where's mother?"
